SUCCESSOR ELECTED.
Rev. Alonzo Rice Cooke Takes
DIR. Wilson's Place.
Something About the Distinguished Di.
vine Who is Elected to the UNI
versity Theological Chair.

DIR. y. r. Wilson, who has so long
filed the chair of theology in the
South Western Presbyterian Uni
versity, with the highest distinction
and satisfaction, was some weeks ago
compelled to resign the position,
owing to falling health, much to the
regret of the trustees. But it was SO
plain to every one that the excessive
labor was breaking down his physical
strength that the board was forced to
accept his resignation, and it has
given the trustees much trouble to fill
his place, but it has been done in the
person of Rev. Alonzo Rice Cooke, of
Waynesboro, Va.
Mr.. Cooke is young man, and
comes full of the vigor of youth and
ripe scholarship. The character of a
man and his worth is better told by
DR.. r. l.. Dabney, whose distinction
and name is household word in all
Christian and educational circles.
Writing to friend here In reference
to the qualifications of DR.. Cooke, he
says:
NJ think exceedingly well of Mr..
Cooke. knew of him as successful
student in Washington Lee Uni
versity. While yet youth, he went
through my department in Union
Seminary with the greatest diligence
and success, SO as to show the finest
powers of.acquisition perhaps of any
one / ever taught. He showed not only
quickness and memory, but first-rate
accuracy and grasp of abstract truth.
Having gone into the pastoral work
impaired health caused him to spend
a year in Austin. He then studied
under me again for year, taking my
post graduate course in philosophy.
l never taught SO fine student in
this University. / never heard such
examinations as his were, both writ
ten and. oral. The course required a
good deal of parallel reading. Know
ing his fine capacity, i in a manner
let myself loose at him, trying him to
the utmost on the deepest problems
of mental science and ontology. His
reading and his comprehension APP
peared to be complete all around.
When went to grade him had to ask
myself: You, who boast of being such
a just impartial marker; is it right to
withhold any work from him unless
you can see some imperfection in his
answers?' ! confess / always felt a
little stingy about giving any man a
plump 100, but in Cookies place i had
to do it. That is give 993. 1 haven't
a doubt of his ability to teach either
philosophy or theology, or both, nor
his staunch orthodoxy. His after
development at Waynesboro you
know better than do"
The Louisville papers also note that
Mr.. Cookies recent visit to friends in
that city resulted in very fattering
call to the Stewart Robinson Memorial
church, where he preached two ser.
mons while in that city, which he de-
clined, accepting the call to the theo-
logical chair in the University here.
The CHRONICLE welcomes
DIR. Cooke to GAINESVILLE, and wishes
him the greatest success in his new
field.

CROOKED POLITICS,
Can Harrison Now Garry New York and
Indiana?

On the very day that Harrison was
nominated the organs of the Clarksons
at DeS MOines insisted that there was
no possibility of the reelection of the
president in November without the
votes of both New York and Indiana.
The claim that he could pull through
without these states the paper stig-
matted as merely squad politics.
Precisely the meaning of that term is
not given in the political lexicons, but
the Des Moines sheet does not believe
that those states are at all probable to
go to Harrison Four years ago Indiana
was against him, as shown by the re-
markably accurate poll made up to the
eve of the election. Then BARRE OF
small bills was shipped into the state,
and under the direction of the Dudlevs
was made to- turn the scale by the mea-
ger plurality of twenty-five hundred.
Now the Australian system is in opera
ton there. and the democrats have beer
rolling up maiorities of twenty thou
sand or more. The most intense haters
of the Indiana man at Minneapolis
came from his own state, and they
know that they would not be forgiven
in case of his election. OF course, the
Iowa organ will be forced by its posi-

A SENSE OF MORALITY.
The People still Respect Truth and Honor
in Politics.

The miscalculations of many practi-
cal politicians appear to result from an
assumption that the moral sense has no
place in the political action of the peo-
pie. Not many months ago Mr.. Ingalls,,
Of Kansas, declared that politics was
war. and derlded the idea that the deca-
fogue or the moral code had anything
to do with its contests. He not only
assumed that in this kind of warfare
the end justified the means-the end be-
ing simply party success-but he as
sumed that the mass of the people had
no more scruple than the politicians
regarding the means that were used.
lnferentially he approved of lying and
misrepresentation, of duplicity and de-
ceit, of bribery and intimidation. pro-
vlded only they We're used so skilIfuily
as to contribute to success. Somewhat
more recently Mr.. Quay, of Penn
sylvania. iikened politics to a game in
which skill and adroitness We're sure to
prevail His assumption was that the
leauers and managers made the calcu-
lations and planned the moves. and the
people simply fell in line and cast the
votes. unin6uenced by any considera-
tons addressed to the moral sense
1t is upon the belief that the people
are controlled in their political action
solely by traditional attachment to
party and by considerations of self
interest that politicians like Platt and
Quay in one party. and like Hill and

| German in the other. base their plans
| They take no stock" in a popular
sense of what is right or wrong. what
is honest and straightforward or what
is crafty and INSCRIPTIONS, as affecting
political results. and like most people
who are themselves devoid of sensitive
ness as to moral distinctions. they learn
nothing by the lessons of experience.
1t was, in fact, the moral sense OF the
country that rejected Mr.. Blaine eight
years ago. in spite of the exceptional
strength and popularity of the man
with partisans who were blind to the
defects of his character But for the
revolt of the moral sense. on account OF
qualities and acts which showed lack
of personal integrity. ne would have
been the strongest candidate ever NOM
mated by his party, with the exception
of Lincoln and Grant.
What has destroyed the power of
Quay in Pennsylvania is the belief that
in certain financial transactions in
that state he showed n lack of honesty
and of moral scruple. and in his
efforts to direct the party organization
he was Indifferent to considerations of
Justice and fair dealing. It is not
altogether a direct Judgment upon
his personal conduct. but in part the re-
suit of mistakes committed through in
ability to recognize the moral percep-
tions of others. But in reality it was
the revolt of the moral sense in
Pennsylvania which overthrow the
power of Quay, in spite of an en-
ormous margin of party strength
in that state. Mr.. Plat in this state
has exhibited 4 similar incapacity to
understand the popular instinct in favor
of honest and straightforward meth
DDS. the aversion which is felt for cor
rUpt deals and undetermined schemes.
Doubtless the bulk of the voters in any
party will stick to its standard in IA
contest, either from belief in its princi-
pies or from an attachment in which
prejudice has much to do, regardless of
the wrongdoing of its politicians. but
with 4 sufficient number to make the
difference between success and failure
moral considerations will have greater
weight than those of any other kind.
1t is the moral sehse of the people that
has made the leadership of men like
Platt and Quay a failure. II is what
defeated Blaine as the candidate of
powerful party IN 1884, and it is what
defeated the effort to nominate him in
IS92-N Y. Times.

SOME CURIOUS FISH.
How Members of the Finny Tribe Act
When Land.

| How Members of the Finny Tribe Act
| When on Land.
"A fish out of water is a synonyme
for any creature that is strangely out
| of its element. Yet fishes do sometimes
| get out of the water, and they do it
! from choice, and seem to enjoy the
! change.
| 1t would be more exact to say that
| some fishes do this and not that fishes
| sometimes do it. Most fish live in the
/ water. and die if kept out of it for any
length of time, but it is well known
| that few species sometimes come out
of the water, and move themselves in
| various ways upon the land: sometimes
travel on it for long distances: some
times even climb trees and sit upon
rocks-perhap s to gaze at the prospect;
who can say?
BY these facts is destroyed one of the
fondest traditions of our childhood.
The oldest of us can recall the days
when we solemnly asked each other:
''Why is fish like stone?" and
solemnly told" the answer: because
it can't climb tree Science has dis
covered that fish can climb a tree.
Who knows but we shall some day be
told that stone is equally agile?
It is common. I believe. for cells to
leave the water and roam about in the
mud: but cells are vulgar creatu and
goodness knows whether they even bear
Latin name to bless themselves with.
But the most remarkable dry-Iand
fish has a name as long as his body. 1t
is Periophthalmus. Very kindly. nat
uralists allow ordinary mortals to speak
e I, 4 ~
ture is about four or five inches long
with a big head, prominent eyes. and
side or pectoral fins, which are more
like legs than anything else. The goby
comes on shore, and scrambles along
the banks in search of food. One ar
dent naturalist tells US that he took a
shotgun and picked off his gobies. as
they hoped along the muddy shore. as
if they were snipe."
These gobies are common in New Zea-
land, where the natives call them the
running fishes On our own shores
we have goby of a somewhat similar
habit. This inoffensive creature has
been called by naturalists the Go5fas
soporator.
Recently a party of naturalists trav-
cling in Mexico and Texas found some
of these little fishes and confined them
in pail. They remained in it short
time; then, to the establishment of the
observers, several of them We're seen
c1ambering over the side of the pail,
and dropping down upon the ground,
when they proceeded to wriggle their
way to the water, not far distant They
used the fins as legs, and made very
good progress. When replaced in the
pail they tumbled out again. and could
only be kept there by placing board
over the top of their prison"
Fishes that hibernate and fishes that
migrate have been observed and writ
ten about: and the curious facts about
these odd little creatures would fill
many pages.-Harper's Young People.
