Senator Plumb, OF Kansas, has intro
duced a bill for the protection of buffalo.
The Denver News thinks lit will take
something more than a senatorial COM
mittee of inquiry to find any buffalo to
protect" The News is in error as to this;
an appropriation would enable Buffalo
Jones to discover enough for seed in a
short time. Anything to get the boarded
money IN the treasury into circulation.

An exchange makes a statement con-
Derning the comparative safety of mod
arn travelling methods, which, while be-
ing both odd and interesting, throws out
for the delectation of peripatetic people
not small morsel of comfort.
Gould the figures De gathered and
compared" says the journal alluded to,
people who think the modern mode of
travel involves danger would be sur
prised. The old stage coaches, it is
claimed, killed and MANNED vastly more
than the railroads do in proportion to
the number of passengers carried. From
the report of the number of passengers
killed now, and the number of casualties
at home, there would seem to be more
danger in staying at home than going
by rail

If the young emperor shall continue
in his present purpose and endeavor to
ameliorate the condition of the laboring
classes of his people, he will soon rival
his venerated grandfather in their ar
dent affections. This action of the EN-
peror may be but stroke of policy, as
has been hinted by few skeptical
critiques, but it is certainly wise one
and has the right to commend it. The
heavy drafts made upon the population
of his empire by emigration are from the
classes to be effected by the proposed
change of policy; drafts that the en-
peror is wise enough to see must pre-
vent its growth in numbers, wealth and
power, if not to actually weaken it in
these respec:s, while some of the neigh
boring nations that are giving Up but a
small number of their people are making
rapid strides in the march of progress.
The young emperor NAV give evidence
of beng headstrong and all that, but the
bent of his present course of administra-
ton is to make him the most popular of
all Germany's great sovereignS.

PROGRESS At CHICAGO.

The Worlds Fair, having found its head, is
at last upon its feet. 1t has not been pre-
cocious infant. and is not now youthful
prodigy. But it is a great relief to discover
signs of a vigorous growth and augurics of
commanding stature. To Mr.. Depew is due
much credit and gratitude for its present
healthy and hopeful condition, and the debt
would have been paid with the presidency of
the Commission if the president of the New
York Central had not declined the honor in
advance for reasons of which everybody must
concede the force. The executive of this trc-
mendous undertaking will have time for little
else during the next two years and a half and
his headquarters must be in Chicago. MIR.
Palmer is a man of energy and influence and
under his direction the country will expect to
see the work advance securely and prosper
ously.
1t is proper and agreeable to note also the
fact that the people OF Chicago are beginning
to feel an appropriate sense Of the immense
responsibility which they have accepted. The
song of triumph which hailed the action of
Congress was speedily followed by unmanncrly
condemnation of everybody who ventured to
express a natural concern respecting the ideal
site, and the solid guarantee Of which so much
was heard during the winter, or even rose re-
spectfully TO suggest that the time for action
had arrived. TIE TRIBUNE, in particular.

The closing exercises Of the academic year
which is just winding up have brought forward
one or two novelties which will be certain 10
provoke more or less discussion in collegiate cir
ces The commencement exercises of Colum-
bia College in this city witnessed new de
partrre in the omission Of the customary ora
tons by members of the graduating class with
the time honorcd sautatory and valcdictoIy.
and the substitution therefor of an address by
President Low. which, though brief, was com
pact of thought and suggcstiveness. One of
the Western colleges. we observe. dispensed
with essays by the graduates and put in their
place addresses by wellknown educators, law
yers and other professional men.
1t is possible that these radical changes from
the long accepted usage OF the American col
leges may be symptomatic of the reconstruction
OF the commencement idea. But they arc more
likely merely sporadic outbreaks of desire for
something novel. In general way commence
ment day will doubtless continue to be what
it has been from time immemorial in our in
stitutions Of learning For commencement day
is prominently the day of the graduate who is
about 10 spread his wings for his flight from
the smaller world of the college to the greater
world of men and life. On that day he is the
central figure, and il is no more than fair and
just that for once he should be permitted to
walk proudly on the stage, speak his speech and
receive his tribute of applause and flowers.
The audience is composed in the main OF the
friends of the young men who are soon TO re-
ceivc their sheepskins, and no one is compelled
to sit and listen to the efforts of the young
orators. As for addresses by men learned in
various sciences, they are not to be thought of
as an improvement on the old fashioned com
mencement. There is an ovcrplrs of such
speaking on other occasions, and it is rot TO he
tolerated on commencement day That is the
day for the graduate; and let him reign s,l-
preme.
At least one eminent educator in New-York
