| One of the mos, interesting occurrences In con-
uection with the close of the college year Is the
installation OF President Gates at Amherst, which
will take place to-day. DR.. Gates, it will be
| recalled was few months ago summoned TO
| Amherst from Rutgers, where he had given EVIL
dence of high order Of ability as college pres-
| dent Unlike a great majority OF college preSi-
| dents, he is not minister, and the TACT OF the
| selection of layman as the head Oh THIS lnsuou-
ton is new departure for Amherst and is sig
nfcant of one Of the modern tendencies of college
life. The best man for the place, no
matter what his profession what Church
he belongs to, is coming to be regarded as the
rule when man is wanted for position OF re-
| sponsibility like this. That wise choice was
made when Amherst picked out DR.. Gates is uni
versally conceded. His Inauguration will be a
matter of interest not only TO the college Itself,
but to the collegiate world in general, and not a
few sister institutions will be represented at To-
days ceremonies and join most heartily in con-
CALCULATIONS to old Amherst and its new president
Governor Hill may be sure Of one thing-the
strength Of his grip on the New-York machine
will weaken in direct ratio with the square of
his distance from the Executive Mansion at Albany
1t Is significant OF the fighting quality Of the
| Canadian Liberals that they have promptly chal-
lenged the new Government of Premier Abbott.
| Sir John Thompson, the Government leader In
the House. rallied his forces and obtained ma
| iority Of 90 This is only l less than the last
majority secured by Sir John Macdonald against
the resolution consulting Sir Charles Upper Tor
DESERVING his Ambassadorial office In London TO
| come home to participate in the late elections.
On both occasions, however the comparative weak
ness Of the Government demonstrated. 1t
| was of course natural and inevitable that Mr.
Abbott. having made peace among the members OF
the late Ministry and having induced them all
70 take office under him. would be able to Sc
| cure n preliminary vote of confidence and 1t Is
unlikely that he will be disturbed during the
| present session. 1t frequent trick or Dir
John IIacdonald's to convene Parliament as late
in the season as possible, so as TO impress the
hot weather into service as an ally against OBJ
struction and political assault His action III
bringing this session in June will prove Of much
value to Mr. Abbott. The chief desire OF every
body at Ottawa now is to get away as soon as pos
sble. and 1t may be assumed that the Govern
ment will not embarrass them. 1t will do moth
ing to provoke discussion and having put through
the Budget it will suspend The struggle that
Mr. Laurier and Sir Richard Cartwright are so
anxious to bring on will have to be postponed
until next winter
No doubt it was grievous disappointment to
Mr.. Depew to be kept from the thirty-ffth ami
