reflect very seriously before they send their
boys to college. A young man who has
money and leisure for study IL in very diff
ferent situation from one who must 20 to
work to support himself as soon as possible.
Nor IL the knowledge acquired In actual con-
tact with practical affairs OF inferior conse-
quenco All knowledge is valuable, whether
1t be obtained from books and college lee
lures or in the experience Of the shop and
the counting house; and, other things being
equal the best knowledge for man to &C.
quire is that which he can put TO the best use
under the conditions of his circumstances.
Therefore, free colleges supported at tho
public cost are not needful and they may be
positively injurious. They confer no other
benefit as compared with colleges OF private
endowment, than free tuition; and Is we
have shown, that Is very small part Of the
pecuniary cost Of pursuing q collegiate
course. Tuition fees, too, are 30 small
part OF the college receipts that the
endowed institutions generally make liberal
provisions for free students. The college is
not run to make money any more than the
specifically FREQ colleges are so run. 1t is
established for the promotion OF education,
learning, and scholarship. and without refer
ence to the peouniary return. Such difficult
ties. too, as are In tho way Of young men
who desire to profit by Its instruction, and
yet who are without sufficient money
to pay the whole cost, are desirable
rather than otherwise. The mere sur
mounting OF them affords valuable train
ing and experience, as the history
OF very many Of our most successful men OF
college education has proved Those col
leges whose endowment we have given do
still more. What is called university educa-
tion, more specifically, is obtainable and
almost wholly obtained in this country
without charge. Not only that, but the
vast majority Of the students are paid sal
aries to pursue 1t. Scholarships yielding .
sufficient income to cover their expenses
are granted to college graduates Of high and
exceptional merit. Without them this uni
versity education In the United States would
be the merest shadow.
We see therefore, that private muniflcence
has provided for the college and university
education Of every young man In this coun-
try to whom such education would be desir-
able. 1t Is furnished here In New York moro
particularly by Columbia College. the most
richly endowed OF American colleges.

Their Arms,

For the first time we have observed the
public recognition Of O still growing prac-
tice which we believe is unique In this
country. Originally 1t was a nocturnal
habit, but it has gradually emerged into the
daylight, and it can be seen in exemplifca-
ton almost any day. 1t Is the custom of
man taking a woman's arm. Instead Of
crooking his elbow for the gentle insertion
Of her hand, he brazenly dips his hand under
her elbow and brings 1t up inside with grip
of her wrist or forearm, and holds her In the
ensuing very intimate. not to say loving
fashion.
Our esteemed contemporary, the Kansas
City Times. 80 far as we know. is tho first
to express approval speaking In response
to a question as to whether lady, after dark,
should ask to take masculine COM
panions arm or the latter should offer it.
"The gentleman" says this authority Of
western Missouri, "should offer his arm or
ask permission to take the lady's."
We know not whether this acceptation Of
the modern custom comes from O special
liking for 1t on the part Of our contemporary,
or from belief that woman really is the su-
perior being, and should offer her arm to
man instead Of taking his, as she used to do,
to his delight and pride. But it shows that
the West blooms with progress and that Its
heart palpitates with q style of fervor to
which the sedateness Of old-fashioned gal
lantry has no relation. though hearts were
hearts, you know. In those days.
Yet II the young men Of Kansas City can
point to any such authority as this for TAX
ing grip on their girls arms, what Is left
for the youth OF Wichita and Topeka, and of
more westerly still, but to extend his
arm still further into semicirce Of which
the distant end shall meet tho OF side Of his
eompanion's waist

Rurro,Ys and Tom Reed.

The Hon. JULIUS CESAR BURROWS Of
Kalamazoo declares in an interview that the
Hon. THOMAS BRACKET REED, the present
head OF the Speakership class. "is lacking In
desirable personal qualifications" To what
does Mr.. BURROWS refer2 Surely not to
Mr.. REEDS manners, which are amiable and
simple, nor to his personal appearance,
which is distinguished. Surely Mr. BUR-
ROWS cannot believe that Mr.. REED is dis
qualified for the Speakership because he
looks like SHAKEsPEARE, and SHAKESPEARE
looked like him. The only clue that we can
think OF to Mr.. BURRows's mysterious as
sertion Is " be sought in the fact that Mr..
REED is plutocrat In sarcasm and ocoa-
sionally scatters a little OF it on the Re-
publican side Of the House. But only stupid
persons would lay up against him an occa-
sional dig. Mr.. BURROWS. in spite Of his re-
cent frenzied but futile speeches in Virginia,
Is not stupid. What is he driving at2
II am not prepared to say" observes Mr..
BURROWS, still with an air OF mystery,
where my strength is coming from" Very
likely; but we are prepared to say to tho
mightiest JULIUS that his strength will not
come from disparaging his competitors.

Political Impotents.

The unfortunate Mugwumps make a
| specially OF something or other at every
election In this State. and every speciality
| they make is now demonstration of their
political impotence.
In this election tho Mugwump speciality
was an attack on EDWARD WEMPLR. the
Democratic candidate for Comptroller; on
ELLIOTT DAEPoRTH, the Democratic candi-
date for State Treasurer; and on CHARLES F.
TABOR, the Democratic candidate for Attor-
ney-General Tho Mugwump estimate held
all Of these gentlemen In odium, and the
Mugwump organs urged their readers to
vote against them and defeat them.
The NelO York Times advised its Mug
wump constituency to vote for RICE, Bo-
CART. anu DENIS O'BRIEN, all Democrats. 1t
advised them to vote against WEMPLE be-
cause he had been negligent and indifferent
to public interests; against DANFoRTH, be-
cause he was more distincdvely than any
one else on the ticket politician Of the HILL
stripe;" and against TABOR because he. too,
was negligent in regard to the ceiling Scan
dal, and also because the Republican candi-
date, VAREUd, WAS greatly his superior as
q lawyer, and would mako far better At
torney-General."
The Evening Post described WEMPLE as
candidate whose denomination was forced
upon his party, In spite Of a strong protest,
through the influence OF Governor HILL"
1t posted TABOR as candidate "renominated
wholly through the influence of Governor
HILL" 1t denounced DANPoRTH as "a de-
voted HILL Democrat, said TO be the rep
resentative on the ticket OF the Governor
and the liquor interest"
Thus with their accustomed faulty the
MuGwump leaders in this town engaged in
an enterprise sure to afford In Its event an
exact measure OF MuRwump strength In
politics. And this year they were assisted,
as far as its courage allowed 1t to go, by the
treacherouS and mercenary World.
How many citizens took tho advice Of the
Times and the R0st and voted for COOKE as
against WEMPLE. for VABNUM as against
TABOR, and for HEDGES as against DAN
FoRTH2
Just about one thousand in New York city,
out of total vote Of nearly two hundred
thousand.
We get at this result by comparing the
vote for WEMPLR, TABOR. and DANPoRTH
with that for BoGARr. who, like them, was
not at the head of the ticket. but who, un-
like WEARLE, TABOR. and DASPoRTH, had
incurred no MuRwumD hostility and was

The Result in Brooklyn.

The reelection Of ALFRED c. CHAPLIN as
Mayor Of Brooklyn ought to give sincere
satisfaction to every one who has the welfare
Of that city at heart, irrespective ofany pref
erences In national politics. No fair-minded
man, capable Of forming an intelligent judg-
ment on the subject, could deny Mr.. CHA
Pms superiority over his Republican oppo-
nent In respect Of education and official
and political experience. The Republicans
were forced to acknowledge beforehand. as
they did by their votes on election day, that
something else was needed to constitute an
ideal Republican candidate for Mayor than
simple, unlettered honesty, and successful
business career. Tho fact is that, personally,
Mr.. CHAPN was just such a candidate as a
large majority Of the Republicans liked; the
only fault they had to find with him was
that he was Democrat.
At the great Democratic meeting held in
the Brooklyn Academy Of Music last week,
Governor Hill spoke Of Mr.. CHAPLIN in terms
which suggested the probability that the
the Mayor Of Brooklyn might be the next
Governor Of New York. Certainly Governor
HILL could have no worthier successor.
While it is natural to think Of Mr.. CHAPIN
as a most eligible candidate for Governor
in the future he himself will give little at
tention to such possibilities now. He will go
on in the same modest manner which has
characterized his career, and continue to
give Brooklyn the good government which
has prevailed during the first two years Of
his administration. When he comes to the
end of the two years which begin on the 1st
day Of January next We are confident that
he will stand higher than ever in the esteem
of the citizens OF Brooklyn, and the Democ-
racy will see to 1t that his services are not
lost to the party or to the public.

The people, the complaipants against the sher-

Assistant District Attorney Con. and Mr.
Sample, Each spoke. In turn, In answer
to Judge Russell's charge and consumed sew
eral hours in argument.
Judge Russelrs motion was to Guash the in
dictment, first, because Mrs. Flack. who was
called and examined as n witness by the Grand
Jury, was under the laws Of this state an In

that the District Attorney Re compelled to pro-
