THE REDUCTION OF SALARIES.

The reduction of salaries in DePauw Uni
versity is but another straw to show the
eIIectS or the political change In this coun-
try. 1t has not been many years ago that
nearly all professors in DePauw and kin
dred universities were Republicans and
nrm believers in principles that did then,
and would now If in effect, tend to build
up the industries of the country But of
late years there has been a change here
as in many other universities. 1t has been
matter of surprise that college men, to a
preponderating extent have become free
traders, many of them Prohibitionsts, and
in some cases they have gone bodily to
the Populist party. They have a perfect
right to make these changes, it cannot be
contradicted, but 1t is in the line of natural
events that mistakes invariably come back
home.
Thus comments the Greencastle Banner
Times. OF the cause of the falling off of
the revenues of colleges, there will be a
difference of opinion; but for years, under
Republican rule, while Republican Sem
check, there was no intimation Of a reduc-
ton of college salaries. What has happened
at DePauw has happened at Harvard The
man for whom DePauw is named was one
of the ablest the State ever knew. He
built up great Industries and, under protec-
ton, he made the money which he be-
slowed upon the college. But for protec-
ton he would not have built up the plate
glass industry in Indiana and in the coun-
try generally, which helped him to acquire
the money which went to endow DePauw
The building up of the industry gave en-
ployment to thousands. added hundreds of
thousands to the taxable property OF the
country. and reduced the price OF plate
glass 60 to 60 per cent. These facts the
professor refused 10 recognize, but, instead
became the blind follower OF the a prior

OUR WATER BASINS.
Work of the Last Geological Survey
That Will Interest Scientists.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The investiga-
ton of water resources of the United States
undertaken by the Geological Survey has
been practically completed. The work was
commenced in October, 1889, with the object
of determining the quantity of water avail
able for irrigation of the arid lands of the
West or for use as water power. The
most active field work was carried on in
1SS9-1S9O, and studies have been made of
most of the drainage basins west of the
one hundredth meridian as well as several
Of the "catchments'' of the East. The sci
entists devote large part of the time in
examining the ''run-offs'' of the Missouri,
Arkansas, Rio Grande and Snake rivers.
1T does not appear probable" says Geolo-
gist F. Newell that even as high as 10
per cent OF the land now owned by the
government can ever be irrigated In fact
there is not sufficient supply of water to
bring under cultivation an area equal TO
that which has passed into the hands or
individuals and corporations. There are,
however localities where thousands 1 of
acres can be profitaby irrigated by the
construction of dams and irrigatine
canals

HOAR STIRS UP THE SENATE.
His Resolution Strikes Fear to the
Hearts of Administration Friends.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The Hawaiian
controversy wakes warmer from day to
day in the United States Senate Nearly a
score OF resolutions have already been in
troduced on the subject, but the end is not
yet in sight: and after more than an hours
sharp discussion to-day the Senate adj
journed with the promise of prolonged dis
sion on the Frye resolution on Wednesday
and a possibility Of Mr. Turpies resolution
to-day presented being called UP to-mor-
row. Senator Hoar succeeded in accentuat-
ing with practical certainty the fact that
Commissioner Blount was paid from the
secret fund of the State Department, this
being substantially admitted by the Demo-
Gratis Senator Frye made an Intellectual eff
fort to secure a vote on his resolution de-
claring for nonntervention by this govern
ment in Hawaiian affairs, but there were
strong objections and it went over until
Wednesday, when Mr. Davis. of Minnesota,
will speak on the subject. Senator Turpe,
of Indiana, presented resolution alleging
the inexpediency of annexing Hawaii to the
United States, but declaring that the inter-
ference of foreign governments with that
country should be regarded as hostile to
this country, and he will probably submit
some remarks the matter in a few days.
Senator Chandler introduced a resolution
directing the committee on judiciary TO I'm
quire and report TO the Senate their opin-

Report from Denver that the Two De-

DENVER, Col. Jan. S.-The Denver

lief that in the near future, there would
be an organized union of the Baptist and
Christian churches, under the name of
the latter; that he was now in communion
ton with prominent members Of both de-
nominations on the subject and that a
part of his contemplated trip TO the East,
which will occur very shortly, is to con-
fer with them in the matter.

The proprietors of the two largest wooden

their intention to shut down their mills
indefinitely. Lack of orders, due to hard
times and business depression, and the
tariff uncertainty and fear Of the conse-

closing the mills The proprietor of one or
the mills said to a reporter:
1--WE are running our mill now with less
than half the usual force We are simply
clearing up odds and ends of work. and
when they are finished the mills will shut
down. There are no orders TO keep them
running and no goods can be manufactured
for stock. because we cannot tell what
If the Wilson bill is passed. The trouble
is all due to the tariff question. Last year
these mills ran full time and with large
forces. The workmen in them We're all
well paid and were prosperous Look at
them to-day. Even If they could be kept
running, there would be the great reduction
of wages that must come soon as the
tariff bill is passed staring them in the face.
/ can't tell you what the reduction will be,
but our workmen will have to come down
to the level of the English workmen. Take
one branch of the business. for instance.

all the way from $l2 week to SIS a week.

son bill lets in English goods, and there Is
no help for us If we could save our market
Wages must come down. That is the only
item in the cost of manufacture that can
be cut"
The proprietor of the other mill talked
the same way. He said If the Wilson bill
passed the men in his mill would have to
submit to reduction in their wages of
from IS to 40 per cent. if the mill were to
be kept running at all. 1t was the only
possible way in which he could compete
