The logic Of four years of BayAra is-Blaine

On tha contrary, It is rather surprising that any
other course should ever have been adopted.
The logic of four years of BayAra is-Blaine
The resignation Of President Robinson, of Browu
University, IL to be acted upon by the corporation
this month Like his predecessors, DR.. Wayland
and DR.. Sears, he has had long term OF office,
having been In charge OF the college since 1871,
and his retirement is caused by advancing years,
which, in his own Judgment incapacitse him Tor
undertaking the active management of the In
stitution. Brown has prospered under his adj
ministFation, a new library aud several other I'M
posing buildings having been added to the col
lege property and the attendance Of students hav-
ing materially increased. As he has offered to
retain the chairs OF Intellectual and Moral Phios
ophy and Natural Theology, 1t is expected that
Professor Lincoln, long and favorably known rs
Latin scholar win succeed him aS the presk
dent Of the college An old tradition that the
president must be Baptist minister may prevent
this conformation, and thereby disappoint the
alumni Of the college, who remember Professor
Lincoln most afectionately.
The ship Of State sails on with its new captain

SThere has been too much lynching throughout
the country lately" So remarks The New-or-
leans Times Democrat" This expression OF opin-
ION in regard to nice. point In social science
would be moro satisfactory II The TimeaDemo-
craft had frankly stated how much lynching is
TO be regarded as just enough, and how much is
to be regarded as too much.
Every intelligent effort TO protect our parks
from DETACHMENT should enlist the sympathies of

harvested during the winter in Central Park.
Superintendent Parsons is o cautious cutter, and
the Park would not be injured IL his wood
choppers should swing their axes good deal moro
vigorously than they do. Careless tree cutting In

iudicious thinning OF crowded plantations helps
to hngthen the lives and perfect the development
Of the trees that remain. In many portions Of the
Park the trees are choking each other into a
