Seth Low, the newly elected president of
Columbia college. is comparatively young
man for that Office, for he is not yet 40 years
old, having been born in Brooklyn, January
18, 1850. He was graduated at Columbia in
1870. He entered the mercantile house of
his father, A. A. Low, and in 1876 became q
partner. He was founder of the Brooklyn
bureau Of charities, and it's first president.
In 1881 he was elected by the Republicans
mayor of Brooklyn, and was reelected in
1888. He was an energetic, vigilant, capable
and judicious officer. He has been a trustee
of the college since 1881, and for one year
was president Of the alumni association. He
has always taken warm interest in the af-
fairs of the college, and has been an active
and useful member of the beard of trustees.
He will probably make as good president
of the college as If he had done nothing but
study all his life.
Joseph Smith, president of the anti-polyg-
amous branch of the Mormon church, finds
fault with some statements made by F. D.
Richards, the historian of the polygamous
branch. He cembats the assertion of Rich
ards that his father received revelation in
favor of polygamy. Smith shows from
Richards own statement that Utah is in no
condition to enter the Union, being COM
pletely under the influence of the old priest
hood, and he adds: The polygamous ele-
ment ia the controlling one; and Mr.. Rich
ards hurts his cause when he states, "While
all, with but very few exceptions, believe in
the rightfulness of plural marriages under
given circumstances, all do not consider it
obligatory upon them, or that they are suited
to its conditions and responsibilities" The
belief of the majority in the system pre-
sented by Mr.. Richards thus being publicly
stated, the control admitted to be in the
minority who have been disfranchised, not
because of alleged nisdemeanor under the
law, but for actual infractie1 of its provis-
ions, what guaranty has the people of the
nation, or the government, of the profsssed
good faith Of those who framed that State
constitution and are asking admission to
statehood under it? If this homogeneous
majority can not now control that polyga-
NOUS minority. over whom they have no
control, what is there apparent in the sys-
tenn that is assuring to the ordinary locker.
on, and to the government, that when state.
hood should be conferred this same monoga-
nous majority would any more control the
disturbing plural marriage minority than ii
does noYs

THE NEW BALLOT LAW.

IkAE NE" HALLOI LA W.
The new ballot law seems to have worked
quite as we'll last Monday as could have been
expected. The Hartford Times says of it:
Here in Hartford the most obvious relief af-
forded by the new law was the complete abo-
lition Of the gangs of hired vote peddlers
and noisy hangers-on, who, for long dis
tanoes, crowded the approaches to the voting
places under the former system, making the
duty of voting, to many citizens, an unpleas-
ant one. Many of these "vote distributors" !"
white and black, were hired for the sake of
the single vote to be given by each, and the
thrusting of this or that party ballot or
"split ticket" in the faces of approaching
voters was mere empty show or cover for
what was In fact only case of vote buying.
The effet of copious doses of whisky, as the
day wore on, never improved the condition
of these crowds about the polls; and the abo-
lition of the nuisance, even at town cleo
tion, was generally declared to be great re-
lief. The election was as quiet and seemly
as anybody could wish.
Of course the law has not yet had full
test, but the more 1t is tested the better it
will vuork

tious and evil minded have learned
that Presbyterian church is not in itself q
tree, which may be hewn down by the axe
of malice or revenge, but that it is merely q
branch of the sturdy oak of Presbyterianism,
each church having vital connection with the
parent tree.
There is in the church here nucleus of
earnest Christian workers. To us Mr.. Rod

Ii has been reported that the British army
is largely composed of undersized boys In
stead of stalwart mea, but the returns do
not bear out these statements. OF 202, ,761
men only II 500 are under nineteen years of
age, while 81 per cent are over 5 feet 8
inches in height.
Out of population of 1,700,0 1t is esti-
mated that, with the most liberal deductions,
there are in New York million nom church
goers. There are several young men now in
training in the theological seminary here who
would like to be sent as missionaries to the
heather of New York.
Two of the most remarkable scientific
men of the country, Thomas A. Edison, the
we'll known electrician of Menlo Park, and
William Crookes, the great Lendon chemist
and discovsrer of radiant matter, are Theo-
sophists. Mr.. Edison is a member of the
Aryan Theosophical society of New York
city, and Professor Crookes is vice president
of the London Theosophical lodge.
AL the stories this year are not snake
stories. A gentleman was shooting near
Totnes, England, the other day, when he
had the misfortune to shoot his dog. For
moment he was too much overcome to see
what damage he had done, and before he
had recovered himself the animal, black
retriever, he'd come up to him bringing in its
mouth its own tail; which he had shot clean
off.
The Augusta Chronicle says the South
does not wish to get rid of the negro, and
adds: The negro is indispensable to the
South. We are doing the best we can for
him, and will continue to do so. The rela-
tions between the whites and blacks are
friendly throughout the South. This is the
general condition. The exceptions are mere
ly local, where personal quarrels and brawls
OCCUR.
Father Nash of Brooklyn, New York,
knows what he wants. Certain of his parish
toner's have been in the habit Of sending their
children to the public schools on week days
and to his Sunday school on Sundays. This
seems to be q plan that would commend it,

lies and good citizens of combining secular
with religious instruction. TO Father Nash

Land Companies Want the United
states to Buy II.


The proposition, started in Caiifor-
MIA. for our government to offer TO
purchase from Mexico the peninsula
OF Lower California, Is provoking some
discussion in the Eastern newspapers.
and il Is not generally favorable. Ger
tain companies Of Americans have Sc
cured title to nearly all the lands
which are OF any value. They have
found great difficulty IN disposing of
their lands. because of the unwilling
ness OF Americans 20 make homes in a
foreign country. But with the PENN
suia purchased. those lands would al
once become exceedingly valuable. and
many people would prefer going there
10 settling in Southern California. for
the winds blowing gently inshore
across the cold currents that
flows close 10 that coast. make
an absolutely perfect climate,
which varies but few degrees
through all the year. In our judg-
Inent, ii congress favorably enteftains
the proposition, the first thing to do is
10 ascertain il Mexico will sell. and If
so on what terms. Then with the GER
tainty of the purchase quadrupling
the value of the lands Of those great
companies that hare bought from
Mexico for trific all the good lands,
the next proposition should be 10 those
companies 10 surrender 10 the United
States a percentage of the money re-
ceived from their lands. They could
well afford 20 give up one-third OF the
receipts 10 have the flag over their
property. Land that they are now
holding for from SIS to SIS per acre
would be worth. with the change.
