DOUBTFUL TITLES.
Thousands of Acres In Upper Michigan
Involved.

WAsHINGToN, March IL. - Commits
sioner Lamoreux of the general land
office, after examining into the ques-
ton of approvals of land grants in the
upper peninsula of Michigan TO the
Portage Lake & Lake Superior Ship
Canal company, has decided that
nearly $4,000 acres of land were
enormously approved TO that COM
pany in 1865. These lands were
listed as mineral" prior to
the act making the grant TO the COM
pany. As the granting act expressly
excluded from its terms lands
which had formerly been elassed as
mineral" Commissioner Lamoreux
holds that the approval was without
authority of law. He recommends TO
Secretary Smith that suit be instituted
to set aside the title of the company.

CONTINUITY OF EDUCATION.

Not long ego the continuity of education at Yale was rather seriously interrupted in the cases of students who h d besn steal ing things, getting drunk, lasciviously carrying themselves, aiding and abetting prize fights, etc, etc. For awhile 1t looked ss if 1t might be advisable for some of the instructors to hold forth in the lookup or the City Court room in order to enable their classes or divisions to march on In the unroysl road with desirable simulta- neousness. But the students have fauared themselves with the law, and the lookup and the Court room have lost the air of culture with which they were per- vaded, snd have resumed their sc. customed vulgarity. But we have not noticed that any effort has been made by the authorities of the University to pro. vide for the continuity of education in an- other such emergency, should 1t arise, or to provide by disciplinary measures against the arising of another such emergency. Perhaps the matter did not and does not look as important to the faculty ss 1t did to the students who were losing precious literary privileges while wait ing for the City Attorney to deal with their cases in such a way as would enable them to escape term In the County jail or the State prison.
 The bosses of the Northwestern univer- sity at Evanston, Illinois, have foreseen that If something isn't done the continuity of education in their school is likely to be interrupted, and go they have made up their minds to do what they can to Jfevent such interruption. So the president has announced to the 2,Se0 students that any person hereafter caught in the practice of hazing will be immediately expelled. He says that he Is determined to stop 1t if he has to send home kslf of the students in the university and deny them rein statement. He also declares himself against csne-rushes and other such physical contests between classes. and the students evidently believe that he is in earnest The members of classes which lately engaged in contests of this kind have all signed paper begging for pardon. promising on their individual hon. or not to have anything to do with hs=ing. csne.rushss, or like trials of prowess in the future, and agreeing to do all that they can to discourage any violation of the rules of the university by classes which shsll come after them.
 This is business, although the motive of 1t doesn't appear to have been the com mission of crime. The President of Yale has not yet, to the best of our knowledge and belief, made similar announcement concerning the continuity of education and the Encouragement of crime ct Yale.

DISCOURA6ING.

DISCOURAGING.
 Progress toward the stars is always slow and painful, and 1t is not to be expected that Woman can at once free herself from the tyranny which has bound her and take her rightful and predestined place in cres. ton. She will get there with both her pretty feet, but while she is getting there there will be occasional occurrences that will indicate that che has not an adequate conception of what is due her. She has the effects of long centuries of subservience to overcome. She has the mesnness and the reoalcitrancy of Tyrant Man to con tend with. And, most .diseoursgipg of all, she has the gentleness, the kindness and the spirit of self-sacrifce which are In her own nature to fight against. There fore we must bs patient and bear with her while she slowly and painfully works out of all that has hampered her and will con. dnus to hamper her until che has put 1t under her feet and taken her stand tri. lmphant on it.
 Ksnsas is just now the storm center in the great struggle for Womsn's rights, and curiously enough 1t is also the scens of an evsnt which Is calculated to completely discourage Susan Anthony, Lillie Blake, and the others who are leading Woman out of slavery, darkness and weakness into freedom, light and strength. It appears that a rasoally Kansas man named o. J. Burwell took it into his head to rob safe. He succeeded in his plan, but he did not succeed in making 1t appear that he didn't do the job. So he was sent to the State prison. But he isn't there now, because his daughter, poor, weak, loving woman, didn't understand justice as we'll ss she ought to. So she got five hundred signatures to a petition for her fathers pardon, and then worked at washing and scrubbinR until she earned money enough to pay her fare on the rail road from her home in Norton county to Topeka. There she saw the governor and made such an impression on him that she got her father pardoned and took him home with her. It is said that the father thinks SO much of this daughter thst he is going to try to live honestly hereafter.
 If woman is going to have her rights and is going to make this world the abode of equal and exact justice she can't do such things as this Kansas woman has done. And yet the hearts of the women who are not fully emancipated and the hearts of the men who afe mean and weak enough not to want to see Woman fully emsnoipated will go out toward this loving, loyal, self sacri- acing Ksnsas woman, who is willing to give her sinful father all the rights she can get for him with the labor of her mind and her hands and the power of her warm and faithful heart.
