1880 Lord Beaconsfcld dissolved Parliament
with strong feeling of confidence IN the re-
suit. but the Liberals defeated him and re-
gained power In 1885 Lord Salisbury APP
pealed to the country and had the active sup
port of Mr. Parnell and the Irish party. but he
was not successful. In 1856 Mr. Gladstone
having returned to Office dissolved Parliament
and asked the country to elect Parliament

Unionists had large majority against him

TO assume that history will repeat itself in this

that if Lord Salisbury succeeds in obtaining a
majority in the next Parliament, he will be
the first English Prime Minister to dissolve
Parliament and to escape defeat during the
last quarter century.

THE COLLEGE PRESIDENCY.

Cornell University is about T. lose its DrcSi-
dent while Colgate University and Hamilton
College have both been without "prcx' for
a good many months. Nor is Newly orl the
only State i'm the East in which the supply Of
presidents for institutions of the higher cduca-
ton is not equal to the demand. Several New
England colleges have been temporarily with
ont a head of late years and have not found it
easy TO supply the deficiency. There have been
candidates enough for the vacant places. but
not enough Of the right sort. Your broken
down minister with bad cough. who has
positive genius for teaching Moral Philosophy
so as to make it the greatest WEAKNESS of the
flesh to the greatest numbcr-that kind of
candidate for college presidency is always
ready to fiji the first vacancy, and there is al
ways good many Of him. But the list of
what are known as ideal candidates is an I'M
commonly short one. Why?
Well. several reasons may he advanced to
account for this condition of things hero at
the East. One is that Western colleges bent
upon getting the best have formed the dis
agreeable habit of Offering the right man for
president higher salary than Eastern colleges
arc disposed to pay. Now of course your
really ideal president ought to be above sorlid
considerations He ought to love learning for
learning's sake, and supervise a college for
supervisors sake. But most of them have
families dependent upon them for support and
are obliged to thrk of dollars and cents
IIence-othcr things being equal-thc college
which pays the most gets the best president
II was only the other day that distinguished
professor in one of the New England colleges
was induced to transfer his allegiance to a
Chicago institution. 1t happened because Chi
cago made him an offer so handsome that
he felt he could not afford to decline il
Another reason for the scarcity of fit candi-
dates is doubtless found in the fact that the
college faculty sometimes manifests DISPOSE
ton TO boss the president. If the president
submits, his office loses its dignity and sienifi
canoe. IF he insists upon holding his own and
having his way, life becomes burden TO him
man called to presidency of course is
aware Of this fact and if he is sensitive and
not much of fighter it is consideration which
goes to make him decline with thanks. There
is still another reason. The average college of
to-day expects its president TO be n person of
frst-class executive ability, man of the world
fnancier, an efficient beggar of funds from
the alumni. The idea is that he shall not bc
less scholar, but more a man of affairs. The
trouble is, however, that your first class exccu.
tive can do better from the point of view of
money in railroad or an insurance COMPANY

THE UNIONIST APPEAL.

The Unon;sts in England, having failed dur
ing their six years OF official obstruction of
lone Rule to wear ont Mr.. Gladstone are re-
luctanly preparing for the general elections
Mr.. BalfOur has made arrangements to meet
the Conservative election agent at the end of
this month, when the date set for the dissolu
ton of Parliament will be announced As in
timations have also been given of the necessity
for winding mp all arrears of private legisla-
ton during June, it seems probable that this
date will be not later than July /. The gen
cral elections will probably occur before the
end of August, or early in September The
present Parliament has not exhausted it's func-
tions under the Septennial Act, but it has run
abreast with all the precedents of English po
itical history in attaining to one of the longest
terms on record.
No experienced student of English politics
will venture to forecast the result of the i'm
pending elections While the general trend of
the by-elcctions during the last three or four
years has been markedly favorable TO the Lib
eral or Home Rule party, indications of that
nature have proved deceptive so many times
that little reliance is to be placed upon them
Not infrcquently has it happened that constit
uencicS which nave VOteu strongly III one d.
rection before the dissolution of Parliament
have reversed their judgment in the final ap-
peal England is ruled by democratic elccto-
rate capricious in its impulses and inscrutable
in its purposes. Whether Prime Minister
or a leader of the Opposition approaches that
electorate with inquring glance he meets in
evitably the stony gaze of a sphinx. II holds
fast it's own secrets until the results OF the
elections are declared.
All that it is safe for any one to say is that
the analogies of the last twenty-five years of
English public life indicate the defeat OF the
Conservatives. During that period five Prime
Ministers have dissolved Parliament and in
each instance the Opposition has come into
power. in 1868 Mr.. Disraeli appealed to the
enlarged electorate which he had created. and
Mr. Gladstone entered upon Office with great
majority behind him. In 1874 Mr.. Gladstone,
after making wonderful record of legislative
activity, sought the support of the constit
uencies and Mr.. Disraeli returned to power
with An overwhelming vote in his favor. In

The reports which have been received here
during the last week from the Pacific Coast
describing the existence of split in the Cali
fornia Republican State Convention, by our San
Francisco correspondent, in dispatch which we
publish to-day, are shown to be absolutely de-
void of foundation. All the differences that
occurred at the convention have been of a
purely local nature, and attributable to the
rivalry between the men eager for the honor
of being sent as delegates to Minneapolis, No
opposition whatsoever was shown to President
Harrison. On the contrary, the resolutions in
dorsing his Administration were enthusiastical-
" received by the convention.
Threatening weather throughout the week
except Oh Monday has somewhat impaired the
success of the first open ar exhibition OF the
United States Horse and Cattle Show Society
at the Manhattan Field, and the attendance on
the part of the public has been considerably
smaller than anticipated. The promoters of
the enterprise, however. do not manifest any
signs of being dscontentcd. Quite the con-
trary is the case. For they announced yester-
day that the society would organize another
display in the fall inaugurating the custom
of giving spring and autumn show each year.
These shows are to partake of the nature of a
county fair, and will doubtless soon take rank
among the popular institutions of New-York
life.
