DIR. Olson,s successor.

A meeting has been held of the board of
trustees of the University of Dakota. The
question of a successor to the late presi-
dent, DR.. Edward Olson, was considered,
resulting in the unanimous call of DIR. w.
Il. Harper. who occupies the chair of He
brew in Yale, to the presidency. Whether
DIR. Harper will accept the position is a
grave question. He is one of the most
learned men in the country, and already
occupies an exalted position among Amer.
lean educators. Should he not accent the
place rendered, the board will look else
where with a view to the selection of a
man of recognize merit to succeed the
distinguished educator whose death took
from the ranks of South Dakota's teach
ers one of the brightest intellects of
America.

TOO SLOW FOR THE BOYS.

The news com es from Washington that President Harrison must move a little quicker in parceling out the spells. To the average observer, he who re- members Mir Cleveland's lack of haste in turning the rascals out" it would seem that there is nothing the matter with Harrison as spells distributor, but l with all his haste and all his hurry to provide for his hcnchmen it seems that he is not moving fast enough to satisfy the boys. The working politicians, the men Mho looked after the tloaters and Brother Quay's poodle, have spoken, and Presi- dent Harrison, if he is wise. will hearken to them.
 We are told that there is a fceliag l among this class of men that the presi-
 dent is driving altogether too slow a
 coach. Chairmen of state committees
 and other leading republican politicians
 are deeply disappointed ard grieved
 by his failure to act as | they have recommended and
 advised. When the campaign closed and !
 from Bill Dudley or Matt Quay certify ing to valuable party services was re- garded as almost as good as a treasury
 warrant in favor of the man who held
 it. They were held as notes payable on
 presentation at any time after the 4th of | March. There are a good many of these
 notes lying around Washington now. | and there is muttering loud and deep l that they are not being taken up as fast l as they should be. The men who pull l the political strings claim that Harri- son is frittering away the fruits of a great victory and paving the way for | his party's defeat in 1892 by his seeming | indisposition to put on steam in this mat ter.
 Of course there cannot reasonably be any complaint that the president is going too slow-a record of 314 appoint | ments in one short month isn't to be | sneeZed at even by the most obstrepercus spoilsmen. But if he needs poking up he is right certain to get 1t. and demC-
 cratic oiticeholders are not likely to get much encouragement on the winds that ! are waited from the white house. They l can sit down, however. and reflect on the fooiishneSS of human nature that would take any stock in the civil service reform
 professions of President Harrison and
 the convention that put him on the road to power and fame.
 President Harrison may be little
 slow just now, but he'll get there just
 the same.

matter with our American cities.


 There seems to be no reason why the vast networks of wircs-telegraph, tele- phone, fire alarm and electric light-that disfgure our cities should not be made to work as we'll in undt r. ground as in overhead cables. American ingenuity has not yet discovered all en tirely satisfactory system of underground wires. but when necessity arises it will in this case as in many others prove the l mother of invention. The greatest o5jec- tion that the Gould school of moropolists now urge to underground wires is the expense of any system yet discovered, but it is questionable if their inordinate profits are to receive higher considera- tion from our municipalities than the private and public rights of citizens. With the same degree of progress, how ever, that the country has made in mechanical and electrical improvements we may look with confidence to the dis covery of a system that will remove, in part at least, even this objection. It is certain that if the country had few more Grants and Gleasons at the head of it's cities the corporations who now maintain this wire nuisance would be forced to look up a system that would place every one of these eyesores and death messengers where they could neither offend good taste nor make business for the undertakcrs. It can be done, and It is encouraging to note any movement that tends in that direction.
 Mayor Grant has put his best foot for ward in this matter. May he never draw it back till he has it planted fairly and immovably on the neck of Jay Gould's strangling monopolies.

SAUCE FOR THE GOOSE.

The partisan division of Derby where by 15,000 people will be represented at Hartford by four representatives instead of two as formerly is made the text for many of the state papers to read a les son on equity to the republican party If the three hundred citizens of Union have right to two representatives, it is held, the 15,0O0 people of Derby have a better right to four representatives. But the S5,000 people of New Haven have still greater right to more than their present beggarly couplet.
 However, the homilies that are being read by the fair-minded portion of the division of Derby presented partisan advantages to the republican party that were sufficient to make it entirely justifiable in the mind of the average Connecticut republican. Any increased representation from New Ha- ven would be surely democratic, and that's reason enough for refusing it. Republican love of equity is all for the colored brother down south-that is when his vote is in the market; for the Connecticut democrat-well, if he has any rights that the republicans should respect so much the worse for him. When Connecticut democrats get their rights it won't be at the hands of a re- publican legislature.
 Whats sauce for the goose in the di- vision of Derby ought to be sauce for the gander. But the democratic gander will have to go without his sauce this year.

THE New Haven News. speaking of Governor Bulkeley's course regarding the election closing bill, says: The bill requiring saloons to remain closed on election day after the close of the polls was so slow in its transit from the legis- lature to the governor, through the secre- tarys office, that ample time was af- forded for its recall. There is reason to believe that the governor would have been satisfied to have it recalled, but that action was not taken, and so Alr Bulke- ley allowed it to become a law without his signature. After the governors veto of the Swift communication resolution and the unstinted public praise of hls back bone it was natural to suppose that he would either have signed or vetoed the new law affecting the saloons. To be sure either q signature or veto would have offended a large number of people, but, as the governor himself has said, he is supposed to do what he believes to be right regardless of public approval or disanproval"
