A Democrat Gives an Od Hand OPlnion
OF nis DapueIts.
After reading the report and the
editorial as they appeared IN the Dem
ocraE, Of the meeting OF the Committee
on Villages aud Cities OF the Senate, It
don appear that the two representa-
tives from Grand Rsp.ds. Messrs. Hay
ward sna White doA't amount TO very
much.
SAID a well-known Democrat last
night. 1T appears that the Democrat
seems very anx Gus 10 be little Messrs.
Hayward and Waite for the purpose OF
llOaIzlug the Duke, senator Doran, who
hasn't sense enough, from a legislative
standpoint, 10 20 into cover when 1t
ralns, without beng told 10 do so from
somebody IN the city. The ldea that
Doran - bigger than tAe Governor,
springs from his cone ption that he
carries Grand Rapids IN ms inside vest
pocket. This idea Is encouraged and
tostered by the Democrat. Ii the org
inal extension bill had been left with
Hayward and White, the people would
have been much better pleased than
they are with the abortion railroaded
through by Duke Doran, the Demo

AN INTERESTING DECISION. T. |, &1~o .~f

AN INTERESTING DECISION.
 It appears that the managers of college have their limitations even in their deal ings with the students under them. This is shown in the case of Thomas Cecil against Bellevue Hospital Medical college, in which the Supreme court of New York has just made a decision. It appeared that Cecil had been a student at the college for three years and claimed to have con- piled with all the conditions entitling him to an examination for degree. He was, however, informed by the secretary of the faculty that he would not be allowed to present himself for final examination and hence could not receive the degree. No reason was given for this refusal. In court the college authorities contended for the right arbitrarily to withhold the degree from any student and that they were not bound to give any reason for their course. In other words, that it was @ matter wholly within their discretion. The oPin- ion rendered by Judge Van Brunt holds that when student has complied with the rules and regulations of the college, with all the conditions upon which it agrees to confer degrees, he has contract right to his degree which cannot be de- nied without good reason. The court says: An institution cannot take the money of a student, allow him to remain and use his time and then arbitrarily re-
 fuse to confer on him the degree whicf they have promised. While the cour cannot review the discretion of college in refusing for definite reason to allow
 a student to be examined and receive de
 gree, yet in case of an arbitrary refusa | there is no exercise of discretion at all l but simply wi1ful violation of duty
 l Students in colleges will do well not
 be too much elated by this decision,

genuine looking notes, even though the impressions might be inferiori First, be- cause, as soon as plate has served its day the superintendent of engraving scrspes it with a sharp tool and defsces it so that it is useless. Then it is kept in the custodi- ans vault till committee, periodically appointed, and made up of number of high treasury officers and one person from private life, visit the vault, inspect the de- faced plates, and pack them in a box, 6 list being kept in the custodian's books and duplicate list put inside the box it. self. Then the box is bound with scrap iron, hole is bored in one side and seal ing-wax poured into it, and the seal of the United States is put upon the wax. When enough boxes have accumulated to make load they are taken by the committee down to the navy yard, where a furnace is spe- cially prepared for them. Each box is openeds the seal examined, and the con- tents compared with the list enclosed; and each plate, after identification, is put into the smelting pot and reduced to a fluid state. The committee then make their re- port which goes on file, and the history of each plate concerned is thus brought to an end.
 It will be seen from this that tampering with either plates or notes is reduced to a minimum of probability: and that, for any considerable scheme of fraud to be successful collision would be necessary between an almost interminsble series of persons, each of whom is, under the pres ent system, interested for his own sake in keeping a watch upon the others.
