BOB INaERsoLL is republican, but
he doesn't believe in protection for
the sake of protection. In an inter
view with Rochester, n. Y, paper
recently he is represented as saying:

called the infant industries, but after
these infants get to be six feet high
and wear No. u boots it is about
time to stop rocking the cradle, es-
pecially when the infant tells you
that if you stop rocking he will get
out of the cradle and kick your head
off"

IT is thought that the death of
MIR. Pfaeffle, who was leading
spirit in the affairs of the Blinn Me-
mortal college, will necessitate
change in some of the plans of the
institution. It was the intention to
inaugurate some additional improve
ments at the college grounds, but
before the work can be pushed now,
since his death, a meeting of the
trustees of the institution will hagel
to be held, and the meeting may not
be held in time for the improvements
to be undertaken before the expira-
ton of the summer vacation.

,he,r feelings towards him, as rule, were
shown By the evident relish with when the
,econt remarks OF Senator Wolcott, Of Col
orado. IN the severest condemnation OF the
President were received by his Republican
associates In the Senate. In spite oil Tue
restless and Jealous Screenings OF harrisoh
10 secure a denomination, IL begins 10 De
apparent that his growing unpopularity VIII
almost certainly defeat his purpose, IN the
face Of the enormous influence that can DC
brought 20 bear through judicious disposal
ofthe patronage attached to the Presidential
Office. As a presidential candidate OF bril-
liant prospects, he is rapidly dwindiing IN
proportions until there is an increasing
probability that he will enter the Natlona'
Republican Convention with such an IN
significant following that his supporters
will be compelled TO withdraw his name AT
an early hour.
The decline in Mr.. Harrison's prospect oil
a denomination is largely, il not princl-
pally, due to the growing Importance OF
Speaker Reed as a candidate for the Presi-
dencv. The position Of the Republican
party is in many respects desperate. The
Republican leaders believe, and correctly
so. that il is only by such infamous meas
ures as The national election Jaw, ana
through the agency Of such daring men as
Reed. that the supremacy Of the Republican
party can be maintained. They are fully
determined 10 make use OF such men ana
such measures at the expense OF every
scruple Of honor and patriotism, in order 10
retain their present hold upon national
mower. As compared with the presiding
officer Of the House, Mr.. Harrison is mere
pigmy in ability, unscrupulousness,r esolu-
ton, and audacity. II is these qualities
which the Republicans are now demanding
in their national leader, and it is in these
qualities that Reed excels prominently.
lie is to-day the foremost Republican in the
United Stetes, because he more distinctly
and completely represents the policy of the
Republican party in the present eXigency
than any other man in the ranks of the party
organization. He is the foremost and most
unhinching exponent of the Republican de-
signs and purposes, the boldest Republican
mouthpiece, the political head and king Of
the party.
Recognition of this fact is rapidly spread
ing through the whole rank and file Of the
Republican organization from one end OF
the United States TO the other, and in con-
sequence, the Speaker is beginning to over
shadow all the other Republican candidates
for the Presidency. 1t would not he sur
prising if the suggestion Of his name as the
proper man for the position, made in the
convention which recently renominated
him for Congress, were in time generally
taken up by the Republican conventions
that will meet in the different States in the
interval before the National Convention as
sembles. Whether endorsed in this manner
or not, the prediction may be ventured that
in comparatively short time, he will be a
far more formidable candidate for the PresI-
Dental nomination than the present incum-
bent Of the office, if not so already.

SOCIAL SCIENCE.

In spite Of Mill on Liberty, Buckle on
Civilization, and Herr Most on ROwdyism,
we are much inclined 70 think that the man
who shows the profoundest learning. and
comes nearest 10 solving the problem OF life,
is the thoroughbred gentleman. especially
IL be has had the good luck 10 have had
lady and gentleman for parents before him.
Why should II not be so' Doesn't he like
a premium engine work smoothly and
noiselcssly in his place? And do not all
the works that are moved and governed by
him do true and satisfactory work! The
gentleman is quiet, and as somebody
said about Julius Cesar, like force of
nature, irresistible as far as his power and
influence extends. lie gives no 0flense, rubs
ari jostles no where. And high and low are
honoured in paying him tribute. And that
because he keeps every one In his debt by
free, warm and habitual diffusion Of kind
ness and respect - asking or intimating
nothing in return. Indeed he hOnOurs all
because they are his kindred. His soul is
saturated with love Of all that is manly
and lovable, and the favour Of the honor
able possesses him wholly. so the best
thoughts and aspirations, and dim
NEST hopes Of good in every
one find in him friend and ready appre-
ciator, Things true, honest and just, pure,
lovely and Of good report are his business.
These are the elements that make the air
and carry the light in which he lives and
moves and has his being. In filth and i'm
purity he willis and withers, and If he can
not escape them, dies. The whole world
is his family. He rules out none, be-
cause OF their social level, and counts it
vile TO estimate any one by the mere meas
ure OF wealth or notoriety. On no account
will he rule in the selfish, the vulgar, the
false and vicious. To the frOwns of the
rich and great he is Indifferent; but the tears
Of the poor he cannot stand. This
citizen and Socialist does instinctiyely the
right and disagreeable thing-in the right
place. When ihe walks he is not strait
ened by rules OF etiquette or misgiyings,
because his motives are pure; and when
he runs he does not stumble, because he is
in the way Of duty. lie is not a thing fin
ished and for show; but like his great rela-
tive, the tree planted by the water side, and
his humble kin, the lily, the roots that
fasten him to the earth, his strong and
tender sympathies, draw from all his living,
surroundings life for his soul; and his
bosom ever opened toward Heaven, imbibes
the light that makes for the glory of the per-
feet day. The full and complete crystal comes
Of the perfection Of the primal. And the
consumm alton Of social science results
from the individual citizens self-respect
and devotion TO true and essential honour.
And the beginning middle and end Of hon
our is in the worship Of absolute goodness
the good, the true and the beautiful in the
being Of God.

EDUCATION OF WOMEN.

There have been recently, both in this
country and in England, several very re-
markable instances Of intellectual superior
ity on the part of female students who were
competing directly with male i'm the course
of college studies Of the very highest grade.
Miss Fawcett, who carried of the blue ribbon
Of Cambridge scholarship, the senior wran-
glership, has now number Of companions
OF her own sex who have achieved almost
as notable triumphs, both in classical and
mathematical studies. The increasing num-
Der Of such instances is rapidly convincing
the intellectual world that with equal Oppor-
tunities for preparation, the female student
of the highest capacity is fully capable Of
holding her own against the male student
OF the highest capacity, and that If women
have hitherto fallen behind in the race with
men for all the prizes of culture, it has been
due, not 10 any inherent interiority of intel
lectual parts, but to limited advantages Of
education as compared with advantages
which have been enjoyed by members Of The
other sex for centuries.
In recent years, more and more active
steps have been taken to enlarge the oppor-
tunities open to women of acquiring the
broadcast and profoundest learning in insti-
buttons of their own. A more intelligent
and discriminating attention has been paid
TO the extension Of the scope Of these insti.
tons, until now thew are IN position 10 adj
vance women as far upon the road of the
highest education as institutions for men
can do for members Of that sex. NEWMAN
College, In England, and Vassar and
Wellesley Colleges, in the United States,
are doing work that will compare most
fay6rably with the work that is being done
by the most celebrated Of the institutions
for male students in either country. In
consequence Of this thorough intellectual
training 20 which women are now subjected
In the various colleges where the higher
education Of the sex is carried on. they are
fully able, when brought into rivalry with
male students, not only 10 maintain them
selves upon footing Of intellectual equal
ity, but even as in so many recent instances
20 surpass their male competitors in the
point Of intellectual achievement.
There are sound reasons for expecting
that the remarkable intellectual and moral
qualities which so many female students
are now displaying, will become more and
more common as time passes, for their in
situations will approximate more and more
nearly 10 the standards of the most renown-
ed colleges and universities for male stu
dents, which will signify the further perfec-
tion OF the methods OF female education.
The distinction which members Of the sex
are now winning in the highest and most
difficult fields Of scholarship, will afford the
most unaffected satisfaction to all who are
anxious that every opportunity shall be
granted TO women 10 fully develop the no
BILE capacities, intellectual as well as moral,
with which Providence has so richly endow.
