This is the day that was set last year for
the opening in tho city Of Memphis OF the con-
ference OF Southern State Agricultural Com
nissoncrs The chief object OF this conference
Is to secure the agreement Of Its members
upon some policy that can be recommended
to cotton raiscrs for the regulation or reduc-
ton Of tho cotton production Of tho South
The extension OF the cotton acreage within
the past two or three years has kept pace with
the decline OF the price OF cotton In the mar
ket. and the planters are now complaining
that the cotton crop has become Improbable
to it's raisers on account Of overproduction.
They are alarmed by tho prospect Of this
years crop being as big as the crop Of 1880,
which WAS over SO00.OOO bales. or rs big as
that OF the past year. and selling AS low as the
present price OF about seven cents pound
that price to the producer.
We cannot foretell what suggestions will be
offered or what recommendations will be
made by the Agricultural Commissioners in
the Memphis conference.
We observe that considerable proportion
OF the cotton raised In the South 10 now used
in the factories that have been established
there. and we believe that this is good thing
for the South. We observe also that more corn
and more grain of all kinds were raised In the
South last year than had been raised In any
previous year. We are pleased also to know
that good deal OF attention has recently been
given to the cultivation Of those kinds Of semi
tropical fruits to the growth Of which the soil
and climate of our Southern seabOard are
finely adapted. II is well for the South to d.
versify its agricultural products. to extend its
manufacturing industries. and to adopt all
feasible means for the development Of its
Astounding resources And We see NO reason
for supposing that cotton will fall 90 low in

Tho Great New York University.

A gentleman OF this city has written to
Chancellor MAcCRACKEN OF the University
in Washington square and to President Low
OF Columbia College, Offering to give $50. 900
to common building fund II the two insti-
tutions shall DO consolidated or federated
In single university system. AS no truly
says: There is neither necessity nor room
for two universities in this city, .r.r.
1t appears that the scheme which he pro-
poses. which has been advocated by THE
SUN for long time past. has been serious
ly considered by the University. and on
Monday it,; council authorized the appoint
ment of committee to meet any similar
committee which may be appointed by Co.
lumba College to discuss the practicability
OF the plan. The prospect, therefore, Is that
the subject will be brought before the trus-
tees. faculties. and alumni OF the two insti-
tutions in such shape that it will engage
the interest Of them all; and the more 1t Is
discussed the more desirable will the feder-
alton appear to be.
Both Of these colleges are now consider
ing plans for removal and extension the ex-
ecution OF which involves the expenditure of
great sums of money. For several months
the University has had an option on a site
near the Harlem River. and Columbia has
lately obtained an option on part OF the
land now occupied BY the Bloomingdale
Asylum In both cases the price Of tine
property is large; but that outlay would be
only the beginning OF the requisite expen-
ditules additional to tho present cost OF
running the colleges. Millions OF dollars
would have tn be nut In new buildings, and
even II the present sites Of the Institutions

were sold at their full value. the endowments
OF both Columbia and the University
would have to be increased vastly. Neither
ofthem can go ahead with It's scheme for
removal and further development. unless It
can raise by gifts sum OF money larger
than 1t Is likely to get. with the present COM
petition between them. As the gentleman
to whom we have referred Gays. he and
others who might be disposed to contribute
substantially TO secure for New York a
great university which would he the rea-
sonable pride OF the town. are discouraged
In any such purpose by the competing
claims OF the two colleges. Each OF them.
therefore. stands in the others light. and
both OF them suffer In prosperity.
There may be obstacles in the way OF
their complete consolidation which are in
superable, owing to their charter restric-
tions. though tho great endowment OF Co.
lumbia College Is less tied up by such legal
obligations than that of any other college.
and perhaps the heaviest obstacles OF the
University charter might be overcome by
legislation. At least federation in sin
gle and common university system could
be made between the two without encoun-
tering irremovable legal distractions. and
without offending tho pride which both
have as independent colleges.
A great city is the true place for a great
university. The mere academic department
may do well in the country or In purely
college settlement removed from the dis
fractions OF populous community; but tho
special schools and special researches requi-
site for postgraduate education must be
established and pursued amid the opportu-
mites OF great town. Harvard enjoys an
inestlmable advantage in being near Boston.
or rather practically within its limits. New
York Is now the capital OF this country.
and 1t Is destined to be the commercial and
financial centre Of the whole world. Here.
then. is the place for the great and compre-
hensive New York University; and together
these two colleges can build 1t up. Work.
ing apart they will tend to defeat each other
in producing result so magnificent and
80 necessary.

The dispute over the dual languages Of
the Canadian Northwest has started afresh.
and the French members OF the Assembly at
Regina are threatening direful things because
the proceedings are to be printed only in Eng
lish. This is really the modern phase Of the
old fights betwecn the French and French half
breeds on one side and the English and Scotch
colonists on tho other-those stirring old days
when R1EL engineered the first instruction
and lie comite national des Metis" forbade
the newly appointed Governor to enter the
country. These diverse elements do not mix

OF population they cannot even agree as to the

damnation is exceedingly disngrecapie tos
men generally. The progressive sanctinca-
ton Of DR.. BRIaas and the universaffsm OF
DR.. ABBOTT would seem to be better adapted
to the tastes OF the rich Presbyterians. they
are accustomed to having luxurious sur
roundlnes in this world. and the possibility
that they will be subjected to the overlast-
ing tortures OF hell In the world to come
must be ipexpressibly painful to them. In
polite pulpits the dlsagreeable subject 10

CRATES too harshly on delicate sensibilitles.
Yet Mrs. STUART, distinguished lot her
wealth, discriminates In her will against
the new theology. genial as 1t is to the rich
and to men OF this world. DR.. BRIGGS and
the Union Theological Seminary receive
nothing from her. but DIR. McCosH and his
family and the Princeton Theological Sem
mary are large benefciaries. The new
theology gets nothing; the old theology Is
richly rewarded. Many religious and char
table institutions Of New York share
in her bounty. but the Presbyterian
theological school hard by her own doors

which distributes millions OF property for
pious purposes. It Is understood that the
University in Washington square. estab-
lished under Presbyterian influences. ex-
pected to profit largely from Mrs. STuART's
fortune. but 1t receives only $4,000. instead
OF the grent endowment for which II had
hoped. The explanation may be that Mrs.
STUART was fearful lest the college might
be affected by tho now theology OF the
school OF DR.. BRIGGS. Any way. 1t got little.

sequently. its project for removal Is likely

Mrs. STUART was DESTROYS. and DR.. HALL
and DR.. McCosH and not DR.. BRIGGS. DR..
PARKHuRsr. and DR.. VAN DYKE. are the
theological leaders she followed. She also
made large requests to the American Bible
Society and the Presbyterian Board OF
Foreign Missions. institutions for whose
existence there Is little reason II the Bible
is a human and fallible book. and the
heather may be saved without the preach
ing OF Christian missionaries.
At the moment. therefore. the old theol-
ogy is very much ahead. so far as money is
and the impression that the
wealth Of Presbyterianism is at the service
OF the new theology seems to be without
foundation. The legacies to the Union
Seminary reported as expunged from Pres
byterian wills since its support OF DR..
BRIGGS was declared are many. but Prince
ton is more than ever encouraged In its
Calvinism by the requests Of Presbyterians
who have lately passed away. Tho hope Of
heaven and the fear Of hell remain In the
world. and the logic Of CALVIN is moro
powerful than the speculations OF BRIGGS.
The conviction is still strong among men
that hell Is an absolute truth OF religion.

Bequests for Calvinisnl.

The clergy In these days are proflting by
fashion which has come into vogue among
rich men and women OF strong religious
convictions and partisanship.
A popular minister, with rich congrega-
ton, Is likely to be remembered In the wills
Of his more wealthy parishioners. and II he
survives many OF them he may receive thus
very pretty fortune. BY such requests
the testators proclaim their devotion to the
doctrines he breaches and manifest their
gratitude for his spiritual counsel and godly
admonition.
most In this way Is probably the Rev. DR..
JOHN HALL, the pastor Of the Fifth Avenue
Presbyterian Church. the richest. and. we
believe. the largest Presbyterian church in
the Union. II not in the world. BY the will
Of the late Mrs. ROBERT l.. STUART he re-
ceives himself $4,000, and handsome Legal
cics ore beoueathed besides to members Of
his family. At least one other OF his de-
ceased parishioners testified thus substan-
TALLY and literally to the soundness both
Of DR.. Halls orthodoxy and character.
and 1t is presumed that the sum Of the
legscies to him contained In the wills
drawn for members OF his congregation
who are still living Is large enough to give
him becoming competence. II not wealth.

ways her devotion to the old-fashioned
