receipt Of this generous gift
By this angie benefaction Albion
college has received more than the
Universlty Of Michigan in its entire
history. II IL somewhat singular that
the state university, IN the hfty-Hx
wears OF its existence. and with an
alumni twice Hs large as that OF any
other American cstional institu-
ton. should 10 the recipient of scarcely
any donations or gifts worth record

CRISP AND CLEVELAND.
Little credit will be given the sensa
tionsl reports from Washington thai
another war 10 on between the Crisy
and Cleveland factions. IL is prac
tically settled that Speaker Crisp vii
be reelected without opposition. A
| careful canvass OF the next house hal
been made and the Crisp men are g
well pleased with the outlook that M
determined effort will be made Il
marshal his forces unlees another can
didate shall loom up unexpectedly.
While Il IS true that President Cleve
land would be pleased to have tn,
house in active sympathy With the sd
ministration. he would hardly lowe
the dignity OF his high station by en-
tsring into . compact 10 throw his IN
tiuence TO Crisp to secure in return tn,
appointment of personal adherents I,
chairmsnships. The existence of sucl
compact is not only improbable, bu
Il 70 nsghly absurd. Ia the preliminar,
canvass no nanles have been mentioned
for the speAksrshsp 10 which genera
or special attention has besn attracted
The popular idea - that nobody bu
Crisp val be proposed.

There ought not to be any doubs abou
