regular tax, and it seems doubtful if it
will get it.
The experience of Michigan would
nave been tha of this State had it en-
barked in the undertaking of establish
ing a university OF a broad and pro-
gressive plan. Such an attempt would
necessarily have involved broad and pro-
gressive appropriations. The new law
gives the State University the proceeds
of one-fifteenth of a mill tax. A fixed
tax will yield considerably more in this
State than it would in Michigan be-
cause of the higher valuation of prop
erty for taxation which prevails here.
All things considered, one-fifteenth Of
a mill tax is a very liberal provision for
our State University, yet it remain to
be seen how long the university will be
satisfied with that provision. With
State institutions the appetite for ap-
propriations seems to grow by what it
feeds on.

THE observation-disclosures INCIDENT.

Every government has a right to de-
eide when a representative or minister
of another government becomes distaste-
persona non grata, and to request his
recall. There is no question, therefore.
as to the right of Secretary Gresham to
request or demand the recall of Mr..
Thurston if the relations between them
had become SO strained as to make his
Official presence disagreeable. But many
persons will doubt whether the response
bility for the situation is not quite as
much ON the Secretary as on the min
lister. 1t is notorious that the admin
istration's Hawaiian policy has from the
beginning been intensely hostile against
the present government and all con-
nected with it. It's chief objects, one
after another, AVE been to restore the
monarchy, to sustain paramount Blounts
report, and to discredit, first, the pro-
~visional government and then the re-
public. There is reason to believe that
in the pursuit of these objects Minister
Thurston has been very unfairly and
contemptuous1y treated, n it is quite
likely he may have resented this treat
ment in a way that has contributed to
the strained relations. 1t is not unlikely
that before complying with Secretary
Gresham's request the Hawaiian gov
m may afford the minister an OPP
p%ortunity to state his side of the case,
and thus the public may come in pos
session OF facts which the administra-
ton would rather have concealed.

STATE UNIVERSITIES AND APPRO-
PRIATIONS.

During the recent discussion of the
university removal question in this
State one point made against removal
was that it would commit the State to
much larger and continually increas-
ing appropriations. Although the dis
cussion has ended and will probably
never be revived in the old form. it is
still of interest to note the experience
of other States on the same line. Pend
ing a proposition to increase the appro-
priation for the University of Michigan
the Detroit Tribune gives some inter-
esting facts relative to the development
of tina institution and the increasing
burden of expense it has put upon the
State. Figures drawn from official
sources and records show that the cost
per capita of educating students in the
University of Michigan has increased
steadily and rapidly during the last
thirty years, and especially since 1891,
Notwithstanding the large increase in
the attendance. In 1869 the average
yearly cost of graduating $40 students
was SCALA, while in 1894, with more
than double the enrolment, it had in
creased to $551.16, or more than twice
as much per capita as twenty-five years
before. This is still much less than the
average cost in some Eastern institu-
tons, but it shows the tendency to inr
crease. The State appropriation for the
university, which began with 6 6,459 in
1865. Increased to $401 ,073 in 1894, and
the actual running expenses increased
from $50,329 in the first named year to
$3S7, 462 in the last. The rate of increase
in recent years has been very rapid,
that from 1889 to 1894 being greater than
the increase in the entire period from
1866 to 1889.
In view of these facts the Tribune.
which expresses the strongest friend
| ship for the university, thinks the time
has come when the line shout be drawn
against any further increase in appro-
priations, and that if the university
wants more money 1t must look not to
the state, but to private wealth. At
present it receives the proceeds of the
sixth of a mill tax, and the Tribune
thinks this should be the limit. THE

portant crisis in It's career. It has been
fostered and fed by the State until It

The Southern ScarecrOv.
Raleigh On. CO. Caucasian.

For a quarter of a century the South has
had it's scarecrow as effective as the bogie
of Richard Occur de Leon to the Saracen
children in the times of the crusades. If
the Southern people have been wakeful and
nervous and anxious for progress along new
lines demanded by new conditions, the old
leaders of the lost cause have whispered in
their ears: Hush, so to sleep; the Niger
will get you" If new leaders, with new
ideas and clearer vision, have sought to
lead their people boldly forward, they have
been stopped by false prophets shouting.
..Nigger! Niger" If honest men have de-
manded honest elections, the answer has
been Niger If intelligent men have
pleaded for an increase of schools and more
education as essential to progress of any
kind, they have been silenced by the ter
rible scarecrow of .nigger."
But yet, when the poor darkey, feeling
that his own condition was sadly in need
of Improvement, started to move away.
these same scarecrow makers passed a law
to keep him here. The scarecrow was too
valuable to lose.

bugaboo down among the wild decisions;

CONDITIONS NOT TO BE IGNORED.

A cheerful report was made public by
Bradstreet's a few weeks ago, showing
that many industries which were closed
or partially closed had started Up wholly
or in part, giving employment to a
considerable number of those who were
made idle by the collapse of the summer
and fall of 1898. In all cases 1T appeared
that the wages paid were considerably
less than in 1892. There is daily evil
dence in the that industries
are picking UP slowly as the season adj
vanees. But with these announcements
there is no indication of a restoration OF
wages to the level of 1892. On the con-
trary. the tendency is still downward.
A Pittsburg dispatch foreshadows a
further reduction of wage in the iron
industries of the Ohio valley, which may
cause a general strike. A Minneapolis
dispatch of the same date
the probability of a reduction of wages
in the -four mills of 10 per cent These
two, however, are but samples OF what
may be seen in the daily papers. Wages
in the great industries which the educ
ton of the tariff has opened to more
favorable foreign competition must be
reduced to a point where the American
manufactures can compete with those
in Europe. When, by reducing the Gu-
ties. the barriers which kept out foreign
competing goods were half removed,
wages, which constitute SO large a part
of the cost of production, must be re-
duced in this country to a plane nearer
those of the foreign competitor. There
can be no help for it. If the standard
of wages which prevailed in 1892 should
be continued bankruptcy would overtake
manufacturers. This was made clear in
1892 by argument. and in 1894 by actual
experience.
MOI does this lowering Of the standard
of wages alone affect the employees in
these industries. 1t reacts upon all
wages in all employments. More than
that. even, a falling off OF 20 or % per
cent. in the aggregate of h wages and
small salaries of the country means a
