In many cases the graduates have won

1t seems to us that In the institutions OF

II not more toploftical, than those chosen
by the graduates of mems institutions.
In support OF this remark we could give lots
OF Illustrations that We have gathered while
perusing the reports Of the commencement
exercises held since the opening Of this
month OF June. Take. for example.

"The Ethics Of MATTHEW ARNoLD's

"Scotch Literature" and philanthropy
Before and After CHRIST" Truly. truly,
this is marvellous array Of themes for
the graduates Of Vassar; and the
reader will not lose his time II he give
few hours to ponderation upon them.
The young ladies who composed and de-
livered these recondite essays were from
many States OF the Union. One OF them Is
registered from Oshkosh in Wisconsin,
another from Chicago in Illinois, and others
from Cincinnati In Ohio. st. Louis In His
souri,. Red Bank III New Jersey, and Albany
and Rondout in New York.
Themes OF not less gravity were taken up
by the feminine graduates OF the Packer
Institute In Brooklyn, as we may
judge by the titles given to some
Of the essays: It's the Heroine ArchAicr
The University Extension Movement"
Juvenal," "The Organization OF So

the idea Of GoD" and The Ideal States Of

Young Women's Brains.

During the past fortnight We have been
interested In reading the reports OF the
commeneem ent exercises at many OF our
universities. colleges. academies, ssmina-
ries, and other institutions Of learning. We
have not found 1t possible to peruse the
essays that were read or the orations that
were made by the aspiring graduates Of
both sexes; butw have observed the titles
and considered the themes Of hundreds Of
them.
1t seems TO US that the graduates of this

OF mind In their essays and orations. They
have ranged over all tho realms OF
knowledge and thought through all
tho domains OF mind and substance
amid all the fields OF speculation

Trsaby Croft II was by the same pretencs

low officers his own agreement to preserve se-
CUNNING was detected; and II was distinctly
In consideration OF that agreement that the
poor wretch signed the paper which robbed
him Of all power OF selt-protection before a
jury. Az On officer Of the British army, the
Prince OF WALES ought never 10 have en-
tered into any such agreement, but having
made II, he assumed d certain duty
toward the other party. The consld-
eration for CUMMINGS confession having
failed through the divulGatlon Of the
secret It wns the Princes duty to return the
discriminating paper. This would have been
his duty. had the secret been divulged by
others; how much more if-as is now uni
versally believed was tho Prince Of WALES
himself who leaked. CUMM1Na's offence
having been made public, the Prince OF
WALES, as a gentleman, was under an Inn
perative obligation to replace his former
friend rs nearly as possible In tho position
which he would have occupied had no oon-
fession been wrung from him. II the VIII
SONS could prove In court Of Justice that
CUNNING had cheated at their card table.
they would have an opportunity OF doing so.
It was not for the Prince OF WALES to
strengthen their hands with an avowal ex-
torted through q promise which had been
porfdlously broken.
Yet their hands he did 30 strengthen. He
retained tho confession Of the man whom
he had called his friend. He gave 1t TO the
counsel for the WILSON'S, and, when 1t was
produced In court. the fate OF the miserable
culprit was Of course irrevocably sealed.
But the strange championship Of the WILSON
family by the Prince OF WALES was not
confined to tho exhibition OF a single piece
OF damninG testimony. His own examina-
tion was concluded on the first day Of the
trial. yet day after day, for two weeks the
Prince continued 10 take his seat upon the
bench by the side Of the Lord Chief Justice,
and to give the weighty moral support Of
his presence and sympathy to the defendants
In the case. This extraordinary reversal
OF bis former attitude toward Cum
MING. this phenomenal devotion OF
the heir apparent to individuals who,
to speak oharitably. arc newcomers
In the social world, naturally excited much
curiosity concerning the nature Of tho mo-
tives which were directing the conduct OF
the Prince. Unhappily. the sordld nature
OF those motives Is now known. The Prince
had accepted from Mr.. WILSON a loan
to about million dollars, and
he felt himself compelled to keep his creditor
In good humor by upholdln0 him and his
family In society and in the halls OF justice.
It was. in other words, In pursuance of
bargain. not the less distinct
because unexpressed In words, that the heir
to the English monarchy produced In court
CUMMINGS confession obtained on broken
pledge Of secrecy, and did In other ways his
utmost to oonsign quondam friend to irre-
ruin.
It is reflection upon these facts that must
convince even the people In the Marlborough
House set, that In the case Of CUNNING the
devil did not get his due, and that H. r. II.
Of WALES has given q sinister significance to
The maxim: "Put not your trust In prinoes."

Tho,most notable achievement Of the

teat OF M. LNaAhIs. The Republican party

To conciliate the Farmers Alliance the

Two Stars.

Mr.. j. L. SULLIVAN and Mr.. P. F. ELAv1N
are now like two stars whose allotted orbits
have brought them into that fatal proximity
In which they must leave their Independent
and hitherto untransgressinG tracks. and fly
together. They have got to meet. Mr..
SLAv1N has 90 enlarged his orbit by wiping
clear the space once occupied by Messrs
MCAULIFFH and KILRA1N that for the
future his way and Mr.. suLb1vAN's lie
across each other, and. by the irresistible
law Of pugilistic gravity, they are now hur-
rying with ever-increasing impetus toward
the collision whose energy will burn one up,
and leave the other shining alone in greater
spIendor than ever.
At present the haze Of distance seems to
cast little mystification over movements

to what he will do precisely from San Fran-
cisco. he suggests the orb whose expected
flight was 30 anxiously awaited by the

hold SULLIVAN and sIAv1N, and hold them

among whom THE Sun has always been
conspicuous, may be absolutely undisturbed
In the certainty that the Pride of Old Boston
Is still invincible; but tradition requires that
this fact should be Immediately demon
strated and hesitation on the part of either
cannot stave on the demonstration. Who

The cattlemen were ordered to vacate the

Indian police have tried to drive them of. but
they have dehed this force. and are ready to
use their rifles against It. The Treasurer OF

they would rather aght than fall back.
The Government is bound to maintain the

issued last year By the Federal Executive. II
