The Erect on New York.


During the late canvass the Hon. FRAME
HIscoCK declared that the time was near al
hand when the vote Of New York, always SO
difficult Of attainment by the Republicans,
wouic cease to elect the President.
Amid the party reschoes Of this opinion
our esteemed contemporary, the st. Louis
Globe Democrat, ventured to tho conclusion
that the new States have given the Repub-
llcans lead which virtually makes them
independent Of New York In the future" The
vision that has for years monopollzed the
Republican fancy was to materiRlize at last.
The result Of the recent elections In the
others, however. has been to increase
rather than diminish New York's lmpor-
tance as tho decisive State In Presidential
contests, and to mako her moro than ever
the great electoral prize. Tho blows to the
Republicans in Virginia, Ohio Massachu-
setts, and Iowa show that the pinch Of the
struggle In 1892 will be here, as 1t was hero
In 1876, In 1880, in 1884, and in 1883, And 1t
will be fiercer than ever.
As for the election In New York, 1t con-
firms with the empt asls Of seven years
uninterrupted demonstration that by ma
ture New York 10 o Democratic State.

Tho Banner Democratic District.

There is one Democratic Representative
in the Fifty-frst Congress whose seat will
not be contested by the unscrupulous ma
jority. The total vote for Congressman in
the Ninth district of New York was 1854,
Of which AMOS ]. CUMMINGS received 1850
and JOHN L. THOMAS a. CUMMNGs's ma
jority. therefore, is 1896, and the returns
appear to afford very slight foundation for q
contest before the Committee on Elections
with a view to increasing the slender Repub-
uean majority in the House.
This remarkable majority is some $500
greater than that by which the Hon. AMOS
j. CUMMINGS was elected to the last Con-
Rress in the Sixth district, phenomenal as
that was. At the last election OF Congress
man in the Sixth, the late SAMUEL S. Cox's
plurality was 1O,947. When JOSEPH PULIT-
zKR ran In that district his plurality was
1921. He was q newcomer in New York. and
at that time comparatively little was known
against him. 1t will be remembered that he
shirked his duties with impudent persis-
tency, and was forced by public opinion to
resign the seat he seldom occupied.
There is an interesting fact about the
signal tribute rendered by the citizens Of the
Ninth district to public servant who proved
in the last Congress not only his ability as a
legislator and fearless honesty Of purpose,
but also his fidelity to work. The Ninth is
now the banner Democratic district Of New
York State.
More than that. Mr.. CUMMINGS goes into
tho Fifty-irst Congress with larger ma
jority behind him at homo than any other
Northern Democrat in the present House.

Tho Chief Sufferers.

First Of all there is the Hon. BENJAMIN
HARRISON President.
He IL now years further away from re-
nomination than he was upon Nov. z, 1888.
The theory that the year following the
Presidential election naturally brings re-
verse TO the successful party is net wide
enough to apply this season. President HAIR
RIsoN must submit to the burden OF having
buried the long-rising Republican hope Of
making an inroad upon the solid South.
His MALONE exploit put an end to
that. The standard Republican States Of
tho North, Massachusetts, Chic, and Iowa,
have received too serious shaking for it to
be explained away through any nyup-and-down
habit Of politics that may b0 advanced by
way OF apology by Mr.. HARBIsoa's friends.
The Hon. JOSEPH BENSON FORAKER comes
next. Tho idea that for long time has
stimulated FoRAKKB's manoeuvripgs has
been that In some way he might break
through the ranks Of tho Republican lead-
ers Of Ohio and take away tho supremacy
from the Hon. JOHN SHERMAN. The Repub-
lican procession will proceed, OF course but
without FoRAKRR as prominent feature.
Lastly, the new aspirations Of Field Mar
shal HALsTEAD must be considered as sup
pressed. His misfortunes began by his be-
coming the unhappy medium Of fraud
ostensibly set up to beat the Democratic
candidate for Governor. but in reality to
injure FORAKER, and chiefly, doubtless,
to beat HAIsTEAD for the Senate. 1t
worked. CAMPBELL was helped, but HAL
STEAD wasn't. He faced his modification
like man; 30, Of whatever party sympathy
may be available for these three distin-
guished but unsuccessful citizens, Brother
HAIsTEAD should have the biggest share.

kins University. and can only say that it is
"less than its endowment would lead us to
suppose, on account Of unfortunate invest
ments." These unfortunate investments
are in the stock Of the Baltimore and Ohio
the money contrary to the dictates Of sound
business judgment, and from which no In
come whatever is now derived.
The property Of Harvard. which is some
what less than eight millions. Is managed
with great prudence, as Is also that OF
Columbia, and the income received by Cor
nell 10 proof Of eagacious financial direction.
Tho three institutions, according to the
statistics Of President HILL. are not far
apart In their pecuniary resources, and these
are great enough to enable them all to
afford what as nearly approaches uni
versity system Of education as there Is at
present any considerable demand for in this
country. Besides the regular academic
course, they can keep up various special
schools and departments Of study,
at which young men and women can
lit themselves to earn their living.
And with US IL may be said in general that,
the academic course completed, the motive
which induces students to remain at such
Institutions Is to acquire further and par
tlcular professional training which shall be
OF practical use to them in the battle OF life
The number who study for the sake OF study
alone Is actually and proportionately very
small. A single college or university could
easily contain all Of them. and 1t would not
be crowded. The great mass wish to be
trained to practise the profession Of law,
medicine, engineering. or architecture, or
to become men OF science, competent to
teach or to practise them professionally
President Hills statistics also show anew
that college education In this country, as in
all countries, Is In chief part free gift TO
those who benefit by it. All colleges arc free
colleges In the sense that the tuition fees
charged meet only an insignificant fraction
OF their expenses. and are not required at
all from many OF the students. The cost of
collegiate education is great merely because
OF the loss OF time to the student and the ex-
pense Of his maintenance during its course.
Therefore, even II he gets his tuition free,
he cannot afford to spend four or moro years
at college unless by his own labor in his
leisure hours he 10 able To earn enough to
pay his way, or is supported by others. No
very great service is done him II he gets
no more than free admission. Oftentimes
the offering OF such an inducement may
prove serious injury to the prospects in life
OF those who yield to 1t. The necessities of
their situation or the limitations OF their
capacities and opportunities may require
that they should make an earlier start than
after the age at which they come out Of col
lege. The years spent in study beyond their
ordinary school course may set them back in
their life work so far that they will never re-
cover the lost ground. They may have ac-
Quired much knowledge. and yet not the sort
q knowledge which they need.
