The Columbia HeralI devotes
nearly its entire space to an effort to
convince the scared people of Colum-
bia that the people of the state do not
want the university removed. The
people Of the state have very little
opportunity to have a say in the
but the Herald can rest as
suied that if it were to be decided by
ballot, Columbia would not stand the
least show.

CowARDICE IN A GREAT PARTY.

Advices from Washington are t
the effect that the democrats in con
grass will attempt to deal with tn
tariff question in new manner say
the Chicago News.
Instead of preparing hill compris
ing tariff schedules and a free list
which will show what the party de
sires and what it would do if in pow
er a resolution will be prepared and
agreed upon in the democratic caucus.
This resolution will be q declaration
of certain general principles of tariff
reform rather than definite and
specific declaration in regard TO each
class Of anufac;ured goods and raw
materials.
This proposition is part and parcel
of the Hill presidential programme.
1t is 8 pJlicy of avoidance, negation
and manifest cowarlice. 1t meal :
that in toad OF showing their h md in
a real MEASURE with resi- sche Jules an,t
real figures pushed to become a real
law, the democrats will endeavo- to
make lot of words take the place of
figures. Taey will Try to substitute
promises as 10 what will be done one
of these fine days f,r what the party
may 1T least undertake to do al the
present time.
L; is doubtful whether the western
democrats will acquiesce In such a
policy. The people of the western
states want something more than an
of opinion by the demo-
crstic members Of congress assembled
in caucus in the city of Washington.
They will not be satisfied with reso
luton worded with a view to make
the farmer believe that tariff reform
is promised. Neither VIII the eastern
be caught with an in
florescence of one words about the un
of the democrats to dis.
turb commercial security or to inter-
fere with the profits of wage.workers.
There is a prospect that if this
homeopathic treatment of the tariff
question is attempted it will please
neither the tariff reformers nor the
protectionists.
The plan has the brand of COW.
ardice and treachery on its face.

Among the first railroads built In
the United States was a little line

the course of time a big tunnel line
was constructed through the same

merely a branch. For many years it
was run in a cheap way. with one
locomotive. one engineer and two or
three freight cars.
Finally Q new general manager was
appointed. lie had not been in office

economical government, who
had not heretofore acted

during the past two years, the people
have spoken in no uncertain tones.
The democratic states of the sister

democracy, while one by one the
republican states are repudiating the

The BAzoo has spoken previously
of the splendid opportunity presented
for the establishment, or rather the
re-enlargement of q wooden plant in
this city, which in point of splendid
equipment and capacity, shall be
second to none in the west. 1t is not

to say that Sedalis is the central

HEROES

The world is full of heroes, not.
withstanding that only the Yelling
tons, the Wa-hingtons, the Grants,
the Lees are written upon the scroll OF
fame.
That was a hsro who a few DAYS
ago ran into a burning building in
New York and despite of the fact that
the smoke choked and blinded him,
the fierce flames swept against him,
rescued a helpless babe from :its
cradle and slowly battled his way
to safety and the babes mother.
Burned horribly was the rescuer. yet
the little child, sheltered by the strong
breast against which it was held, was
unframed and as its agoniz ID mother
caught it to her hearts smile touched
its d;mpled lips that was
. hero who at the peril
of his own life saved seven
of his fellows from living grave amid
the debris of q fallen building in
London last week; that was a hero
who near our own city last week fell
to the ground in a frozen condition
because as trusted railway employe
he had duty to perform and at any
risk to self meant to do it; that was
q hero who with superhuman strength
dragged a tie, which some wretches
had fastened in such a manner as to
wreck an express train on Pennsyl-
'vania railway, just in time to save
hundreds of lives-yes, ;, hero although
to the world tramp-and there are
scores of others who at the risk of
their lives have performed deeds of
yalor which have set their names
amid the galaxy ofheroes.
But are these the only ones deserv-
ing of the name?
Not so, over yonder is a hero-a
man who with patient self denial
has taken up the burthen of life and
with heart longing to achieve deeds
which would tear from him the dull
hapless drudgery, the slow grind of
toll, yet filds himself bouad by ties
of kindrea, perh sps. which he can not
break and which be accepts as sacred
duty. He pictures sometimes, in the
midst of his ceasless round in the tread |
mill, day when he can take up the
favori;e pursuit which he hungers for
but with m ,ntal photograph of his
surroundings. with the oasis in the
desert so far off that h, knows it must
be years and years before be reaches it,
he knows there is no change for him
and with patient resignation, he takes
up his burthen again and with steady
step goes forward ON the journey,
which leads over rough mountains
always, for him.
Here, too, is another man who, by
,ome misfortune, has become marked
With deformity, or some similar "cross
Of misery" bravely bears the neglect
If the world, the bitter bondage of
,ne set apart, and with heart aching
or the sympathy and love which has

his own brother, yet makes no sign and
With face uplifted bears his fate nobly,

A rreas,,refl Relic.

Miss Nina Cromwell, of Detroit. who
claims to be lineal descendant Of the
great Oliver Cromwell, owns a veneer
able Bible which is thought to be the
identical volume which the protector
used. It was printed in 1891, by John
Wolfe, for the assigns Of Richard Day,
and was brought to this country in 1850
by Benjamin Cromwell, the greatuncle
of the present owner, who has refused
$500 for it. The edges Of the pages are
bordered with columns of references in
the style which is current today. The
references are not so numerous, how
ever, as those in a modern Bible. Be-
tween the Old and New Testaments
are the apocryphal books, and at the
close Of the New Testament is subject
index.
Perhaps the most curious part Of the
volume is the metrical arrangement OF
the Psalms with which it closes. The
preface to this part Of the work states
that the Psalms were collected into
English meter by Thomas Stern, John
Hopkins and others. with apt notes to
sing them withall." The notes are dia.
mond shaped and are arranged on a
staff OF i've lines, having cleft not un
