He Entsrtains the Union Student. with an
Interesting Talk on tho Telegraph.
SCHENECTADY. Jan. 10.-The Hon. Alonzo T.
Cornell this afternoon delivered the fifteenth
lecture before the students OF Union College in
the Dutterfleld lecture course. He took as his
subject the electro magnetic telegraph. with
which he hns had lifelong experience. Gov.
Cornell was introduced by Robert C. Alexan-
der OF the Board OF Trustees. and spoke for
over an hour. holding the closest attention OF
the students. OF whom over 200 were gathered
In the college chapel.
In his Introduction Mr.. Cornell referred to
the fact that he has been for three years q
trustee Of Union during his incum bency OF the
Governors chair. He also recalled the fact
that nearly half a century before his father.
Ezra Cornell. and the father OF Gen. Butter
field were actively associated In constructing
through the Mohawk Valley the fret line o!
telegraph established between Now York and
Buffalo. Mr.. Cornell traced the evolution Of
the magnetic telegraph from the earliest rude
experiments Of Ben Franklin. in 174'i. when
the Identity OF lightning with electricity was
first established. to the electro magnet OF Prot
Joseph Henry. In 1928 and to tho more prac-
B. Morse in 1887. He dwelt upon the DIM
culties experienced in Inducing Congress to
the discouragements encountered In building
the first line, between Washington and Balti-
more in 1874. by which the practical utility Of
the telegraph was definitely established.

Our African contemporary. the Record,
which comes to US from Lagos on the Slave
Coast. prints two attacks upon the English prop
agators OF Christianity who are permitted to
live In the kingdom Of Yoruba under the pro-
lection OF his Majesty ADEYEMI the Alafn. It
gives pagan reports OF their arrogance bigot-
~. rapacity. and bad manners. and OF their at
tempts to win fame In Christian lands By the
courtinE OF cheap martyrdom on the Slave
Coast OF Africa We would merely say here
that some Of It's stories deserve to be scruti-
nized by the devout people who subscribe
money for the propagation OF the Gospel In
Yoruba- The case Of the Rev. {. f. SMITH,
an American Baptist missionary among the
lorubas OF Ogbomoso. ought certainly to
be looked into by the society which sent
him there Our contemporary contrasts tho
conduct OF such men with that OF the
preachers OF Islamism. who have recently
entered the country. who. it says, are ear
nest and resolute in work and in prayer
know how to touch the pagan heart. and apply
the tenets OF Islam to their own lives. Il Is a
question with our contemporary whether
Christianity will be able to make any progress
In Western Africa while 1t is confronted by
aggressive eMohammedanism.
We are somewhat surprised by the state
ments OF the Record We are aware
however. that the religion OF tho Arabian
prophet has won over to It a vast number Of
converts in the pagan countries OF Africa.

Bourke Cockran's Great Speech.

With characteristic indifference to his
personal fame. the Hon. BoURKE COCHRAN
has neglected up to the present time to
furnish to the editor OF the Congressional
Record the manuscript OF his remarkable
speech on the tariff. delivered in the House
Of Representatives one week ago to-day.
We mention the fact because 1t Is quite
possible that Mr.. COCHRAN. In the multi
plicity OF the demands upon his attention.
and In easy carelessness concerning such
matters. might otherwise postpone indefl-
nitely duty which he owes not only to
himself. but also to the numberless ad-
mirers OF his unrivalled oratory.
Judged merely by the imperfect sum-
maries printed In the newspapers, Mr..
CocKRANs tariff speech OF Jan. IS was an
effort worthy OF his reputation as a master
Of the-golden art. 1t certainly produced a
sensation In the House OF Representatives
such as has not been witnessed in that body
for long time. The chamber was crowded,
and every auditor was held entranced by
the charm OF the New York Congressman 8
eloquence and wit. Friends and political
sdversaries united In making the occasion
seem like personal ovation to the orator
more than mere episode In the protracted
and generally dreary outflow OF talk for
and against the WILSON humbug bill.
We observe that Mr.. COCHRAN confined
his treatment OF the WILSON BILL which he
was in one sense bound to defend and up
hold. being himself q Democratic member
OF the Committee on Ways and Means.
largely to the humorous aspects OF that
measure. He kept his brilliant audience In
an almost continuous roar OF laughter from
beginning to end. Interruptions from the
Republican side served only to afford ma
terial for his scathing sarcasm aud pungent
humor. The incompatible orator stood at
his best. ready to launch the lightning OF
his wit upon every conner; and happy were
those adyersaries whose prudence mastered
the temptation to put themselves in the
way OF his flaming proiectiles.
What better. indeed. could BoURKE Cock
Ran do than to expend his exuberant
oratory upon the less serious sides OF the
tariff issue2 The WILSON bill is not a
theme for serious discussion. and Mr..
CocKRAS's keen discernment apparently
recognized that fact. But what a speech he
might have delivered. had he enjoyed the
privilege aud honor OF standing up in the
House OF Representatives and advocating
the passage OF a constitutional tariff bill,
built upon the sure and safe principles SO
solemnly declared In tho platform OF the
Democratic party That duty would have
been worthy OF BoURRE COCHRAN: and 10
the performance of that duty he would have
risen with power and a genius which no
other American orator now commands.
