st. Louis, Mo-, June S.-What shall
be done with the colored delegates and
alternates to the National Republican
convention is the question which is puz-
zling the members of the National Com
mittee, who have arrived in the city
and the Business Mems League which
secured the convention to st. Louis as
well.
Every hotel and boarding house and
cafe came out fat footed to-day and de-
clared that it would entertain no negro
as guest or customer. Money is no OBJ
iect. Threats of prosecution have had
no effect, and from the present outlook
it would seem that unless tents are Sc
cured the colored men will have to go
hungary and unhoused.
George Hill, National Committeeman
from Tennessee, said tonight that if
hotel accommodations of a respectable
character were not procured for the col
ored delegates from his State he would
telegraph them not to come to the con-
vention.
Late tonight some of the members OF
the local committee said that the whole
matter would be settled to the satisfac-
zion of all the colored delegates. All Of
them, the committeeman said, would be
respectfully cared for and comfortably
housed and fed

and letters In a nation like ours, as he
says, charged with the care OF numerous
and widely varied interests, spirit OF
conservatism and liberation among the
people is absolutely essential to the well
fare of tie Republic, and it is the duty OF
men who have had the advantages of uni
versity education 10 exert their influence
in promoting these sentiments, without
which popular Government Is almost an
imposslbility.
A Government of universal suffrage has
no anchorage except in the intelligence of
the people. and while, as Mr.. Cleveland
said, the advantages of collegiate educa-
ton are by no means necessary to good
citizenship, it is important that the COL
lege graduate should be active and earnest
in assisting to promote the general under
standing of those difficult and com pick
problems which are at times submitted to
the popular vote for decision. In such
elections every intelligent man is charged
with a serious responsibility, and it is but
natural the people should look to find that
intelligence among the graduates of uni
versities.
In notable passage of his address, the
President said:
When the excitement Of party warfare
presses dangerously near our National safe
guards would have the intelligent conserva-
tism of our universities ana colleges warn the
contestants in impressive tones against the
perils OF a breach impossible to repair. When
popular discomfort and passion are stimulated
by designing partisans to q pitch perilously
near class hatred or sectional anger, would
have our universities and colleges sound an
alarm in the name of American brotherhood
and fraternal dependence.
These words of the President, while
they will serve as advice and counsel to
the students of our universities for future
generations, have their most important
application to the affairs of to-day. The
opponents of Mr.. Cleveland may perhaps
charge him with inconsistency, inasmuch
as four years ago he was himself leader in
a campaign which was largely marked by
unscru pulous efforts to excite labor against
capital and farmers against manufactur-
ers. The country at large. however, will
care little for what was done in the past
since it is evident that Mr.. Cleveland sees
now the folly of his course and is doing all
he can to allay the storm he raised and
check the riotous tendencies of his party.
His speech will be read by the country
with reference to the issues of to-day, and
being so read will doubtless have its in
fuence, not only in universities, but
among men of light, learning and intelli-
gence in every part of the Union.
