Tho landholdcrs OF the South have re-
ceived great deal OF advice to raise more
grain and less cotton. As a matter Of fact,
they raised moro corn and wheat, as well as
more cotton. during tho past year than they
ever raised in any previous year. From stuts-
tics in hand. it Al pears that tho corn crop Of
1881 in the States south OF tho Potomac was
about 3GS0UO.OOO bushels. or i17.OOOOOO
moro than that Of tho previous year. and that
the wheat crop was 59.OOOO00 bushels. q gain
Of lGOOOO0O upon the year before. Tho price
OF cotton is unsatisfactory to its raise S. who
indulge in gloomy antcipations OF next years
markets. hut the price OF grain is high enough
to rcmuncrat" its growers. who arc very sure
to enlarge next years acvengo OF corr and
wheat The Southern landlloldors are able to
raise far larger supplies Of the ccrcals than
aro needed for consumption in the South.

Summing up bis argument. DR.. GR1FFIs
finds that the men who settled New Eng
land put in operation at once written con-
stitutions. registration OF deeds and mort
cages, and written ballots. besides other
things having no precedent in England. but
known, practised, and seen by men In o re-
public" Many Of tho military leaders Of
tho colonists. like MILES SrANp1sH and
OF Connecticut, ARaA1 Of Virginia. and
LElsLER OF New York, were trained In tho
Dutch armies. HOOKER and DAVENPORT.
the founders OF Connecticut. were polit-
ically educated in Holland. ROGER WILL
LIAMs OF Rhode Island was familiar with
Dutch history and taught MILTON the
Dutch language. As for New York. set
tied by the Dutch. its people had careful
land laws. "the registration OF deeds
and mortgages. liberation, the habit Of
treating the Indian as o man. the written
ballot. the village community Of freemen,
and an inextnguishable love Of liberty.
They originated on American soil many
things usually credited to the Puritans Of
New England. but which the English rule
abolished" PENN, the Quaker. was the son
Of Dutch mother. MARGARET JASPER Of
Rotterdam. He preached in Dutch. and
while framing the Constitution Of Pennsyl-
vania lived In Embden. the Oldest known
home Of the written ballot.
Such are some OF the facts. recounted by
divine who himself has no drop Of Dutch
or Pilgrim blood in his veins. which go to
show that the modest Netherlander had
much to do with the early founding OF our
American political system. When the Hol-
land Society. at their approaching annual
meeting. drink tho toast OF The Dutch
Yeast in the English Cake" we may have
more Of these historical reminders.

Why do not the Cinnamon who 20 to
Mexico stay in Mexico. and why do not the
Cinnamon who go to Canada stay in Canada,
and why do not the Cinnamon OF Cuba and
other West Indian islands stay there3 Why
do they want to get into the United States,
though they cannot get here without heavy cost
and much trouble to themselves. and though
they are liable to arrest whom they get here. as
violators OF our anti-Chinese laws? Is it be-
cause the MeXicans. Cubans. and Canadians
have fewer shirts to wash. or arc less partlcu-
lar about the washing Of those they have,
than the Americans. or is it because
the fan-tan. ripe-hittng. theatrical. and Sun
day school attractions Of the United States arc
superior to those Of Canada. Cuba and Mexico,
or is 1t merely because they like to
come to country which they are prohibited
from comingto? 1t is rather hard to tell: but
certain It Il Chat more Of them manage to get
here in these times from Mexico and Canada
than ever got here at any other time since the
passage of the Exclusion act. The question is
big one: and we are not surprised that bill
containing oven more stringent provisions
for the barring out Of Cinnamon than those
that now exist. was introduced in the House Of
Representatives as soon as it assembled.

A New Naval Project.

:. d ono Of our treaties with Great Britain
Ne agreed to tho stipulation that only a
d limited number Of American naval vessels
bAould be kept on the lakes that lie between
Canada and the United States: and the Brit
III Government agreed that only limited
humber Of British naval vessels should be
kept there. The terms OF this agreement
shave been observed by both parties.
j, In the report Of the Navy Department
.escrstary TRACY refers to the desirability
oS making provision for the building Of
naval vessels In the shipyards on the In
,terior waters Of tho country. referring. OF
course. to tho great lakes that wash the
borders Of this State and other States as
.hr west as Minnesota. We have on these
Including Buffalo. Erie. Cleveland. Detroit.
Bay City. and West Superior: and the Sec
rotary Is desirous that Congress shall
adopt policy under which the business
Of naval construction may be carried on
In tho shipyards Of these ports. 1t Is not
understood that there is any stipulation In
any British-American treaty that prevents
the adoption of this policy. II it were con-
tended that there Is. such stipulation ought
TO be modified. so rs not to discriminate
against any OF the shipyards In which 1t
might be necessary for us to construct
naval vessels as we now construct COM
merclal fleets. Such gunboats as might be
built on the lakes would not be intended
Tor service on the lakes. In violation Of any
treaty, but for transportation to our At
lsnti0 seAboard. Great Britain cans in
caS0 OF necessity. find an open passage
for hur Eunboats from Halifax to West
Superior. in Minnesota. while. in like case.
we. having no outlet OF our own from the
lake6 to the sea, could only have such gum
boats on the lakes as we are permitted by
treaty to keep there.
Several Of the shipbullders OF Buffalo and
other lake ports arc hopeful Of obtaining
contracts next year for the construction Of
one or more Of the 1.2OO-ton naval vessels
which Secretary TRACY recommends for SER
vice on tho Cnina station and the Chinese
rivers: and there is no doubt OF the ability
Of these shipbuilders to carry out any con-
tract with the Navy Department for this
service that may be authorized by Congress.
We presume that the proper committees
OF the Senate and the House will look into
this matter. examine any treaty with
Great Britain that may have bearing
upon 1t, and adopt such policy regarding it
- shall seem to be advisable. in the interest
Of the United States. IN defence OF American
rights and for the maintenance OF the peace
Of the world.

Last February. the month when this
agreement was made, the trustees Of Colum-
bia and the university council authorized
the President to make overtures to enter
into reciprocal relations with the General
and Union Theological seminaries. Accord
ingly, on the sth Of June. IN agreement was
entered into with the Union, by which Co.
lumbia is to admit free to specified lectures
OF its course such students Of high standing
in the Union Seminary as may be recon-
mended by the theological faculty. and it is
to accept as part Of the equipment for its
degree of Doctor Of Philosophy work done
in the seminary on minor subjects" pro-
vided that in every case "the major subject
shall be taken ut Columbia College," and all
examinations be conducted by the college.
On its part. the Union Seminary agreed to
admit to specified lectures. without fee.
Understanding otudents OF the senior class
and graduate department Of the college:
The Episcopal theological seminary had
not replied finally to the overtures at the
time President Lows report was written.
It thus appears that this college. nominally
Episcopalian. established these relations
with the Presbyterian theological school be-
fore it had formed them with the Episco-
palian.
10 THIS reciprocity suggests method by
which Columbia and the University in
Washington square might be federated in a
comprehensive university system. each re-
tanning its own name. but dividing the de-
partments Of education between them with
due regard to the legal restrictions Of their
Independent endowments. Instead Of COM
peting they should come together to make
up the great university Of New York.

The report for last year OF President Low
OF Columbia College gives the particulars Of
the union OF tho College OF Physicians and
Surgeons with that institution. and 1t also
describes the agreement for cooperation
entered into with the Union Theological
Seminary Of the Presbyterans. and which
has been proposed to the General Theologl-
cal Seminary OF the Episcopalians.
By the terms OF the agreement for union.
the College Of Physicians and Surgeons sur
rendered its charter last February, though
1t retained Its name. and became an integral
part Of the Columbia university system.
The only reservations we're the right Of ap-
pointment by the medical faculty and their
power to refuse instruction to women.
The estate OF Columbia was thus in
creased by $l.652.s5O. but in return tho med
ical school was made sharer in the COM
bined endowments. Included In the prop
erty thus pooled is tho land on which
are situated the buildings of the Van
derbilt Clinic and the Sloane Maternity
Hospital. though the business management
OF these two institutions is In special trus-
tees. representing their donors andthe med
ical college: and because of the special en-.
dowment the university has the full use Of
both without either the care or tho cost
Of conducting them. The late WILLIAM
H. VANDERBILT gave the land and tho
greater part OF the cost Of the Medi-
cal College buildings. His sons CORNELIUS
and GEORGE completed the buildings. and
WILLIAM and FREDERICK united with their
brothers In giving the Clinic and its en-
dowment. Mr.. WILLIAM D. SLOANE his
son-in-law. gave tho Maternity Hospital.
and Mrs. SLOANE endowed the beds in pcr-
petuity. The union Of the medical school
with Columbia would have been impossible
without tho consent OF the VANDERBILT
family. and. therefore. such consent. cheer
fully given. was tantamount. as President
Low says. to gift OF the property on their
part to Columbia College. He thus emu
mcrates the value Of the lands. buildings.
