Archbishop of Canterbury.

The archbishop Of Canterbury is re-
ferred to as "his grace, and he writes
himself archbishop, etc., "divina prov
identia," whereas other prelates use the
phrase "divina permissione. He is the
first peer in the realm. AT coronations
he places the crown on the head of the
sovereign, and the king and queen are
his domestic parishioners. The bishop
of London is his provincial dean, the
bishop of Winchester his subdean, the
bishop Of Lincoln his chancellor, and
the bishop of Rochester his chaplain.

for quality. 1t was apparent very soon
after Chancellor MacLear's arrival in
this city that his aim was to bring
about an advancement in scholarship in
the university. This idea was most en-
phatically brought out in the inaugural
address. And after all it is far more
important that the University OF Ne
braska should turn out a Thousand
scholars than three thousand were
holders Of diplomas.
Mr.. Estabrook, in his address on be-
half OF the regents, was something OF a
surprise. lie has been known as the
most finished speaker in the state. Last
week he made his debut as a wit, and
his humor is equal to his oratory.
Mr.. Wilson's address was also de-
parture from the conventional. He was
thoroughly democratic. He glorified
the university as poor mans college.
1t was created and owned by the people,
the common people. 1t did not owe it's
existence to bequest OF a rich man
who had wrung his wealth from the
people. Mr.. Wilson's speech was
and was one Of the striking
features of the exercises.

q man who is able to measure up to the
gubernatorial standard with more sue
cess than the gentleman who now holds
this high Office. He should be one of
the first citizens Of the state, and not a
jackleg politician. He should not be an
oil room manipulation or q professional
lobbyist He should not be a man
whose character is under suspicion. He
should not be a man with nothing to
commend him save the fact that he is
q good fellow. A big man is wanted for
this big Office. There is strong senti-
ment setting &c in favor Of makinga new
departure in the selection OF candidates

can convention, and there rs a strong
probability that the men who are con-
spicuously wanting in proper qualitica-

throughout the state, and tire work of
public instruction has been materially
advanced during his incumbency. 1t
was Mr.. Corbett's misfortune to become
involved in distressing incident early
in his official carer which has been will
fully distorted and used to create pre-
judice against him. No one who has
made an investigation of the facts has
failed to be convinced Of Mr.. Corbett's

The president and trustees Of the village
of Spiketown had met in regular monthly
session, transacted the customary bust
ness pertaining to the payment of bills for
repairing sidewalks, says the Chicago Tri-
bune, passed an ordinance concerning the
location of hitching posts, and taken ap-
propriate action as to the construction of
a new fence around the cemetery, when
one of the trustees rose in his seat and ad-
dressed the presiding officer.
Mr.. President" he said, II move you,
sir, that the village of Spiketown hereby

The ConntantinopIe Mnssacre.

A court of inquiry at Constantinople has
I begun an investigation Of the recent Ar
menian Instruction in that city and the
massacre of two thousand or more Armen-
! ians. What Will be its finding? No one can
predict with any degree of certainty. The
finding may be in accordance with the
facts, or It may not The truth may not be
desired either by the Turkish government
or the governments of Europe.
While it is true that small band of
fanAtical Armenians started the trouble,
that fact was no justification for the
massacre of two thousand inoffensive Ar
menians in their homes, places of business
and in the streets. The Turkish govern
ment says it could not control the mob.
There is no evidence that 1t attempted to
do so. There were soldiers in the barracks,
but they were not called out Even the po-
lice seemed Indifferent.
The New York Independent, commenting
on the massacre says: Great as is the
crime of the Turk, the crime OF Europe is
still greater The Turk believes himself to
be fighting for his life. Europe refuses to
lift a finger lest one nation should get
some political advantage over the other,
and America stands equally silent"
There is truth in the foregoing but not
the whole truth. 1t is not wholly selfish
ness which prevents England. France,
Germany, Russia and Austria from in
terfering in behalf of the Armenians and
compelling Turkey to treat them with JUS
tice. 1t is the feeling that interference
means the breaking up of the Turkish en-
pire and great war between the powers
of Europe-a war that would, in all proba-
bility. cost hundreds of thousands of lives
and vast amount of treasure and change
the map of Europe. If it were not the fear
of such a war the Turk would have been
compelled long ago to deal more justly
with the Armenians.

nound to Make TroubIe.

Chairman Jones OF the national demo-
cratic committee is not saying much for
publication about the efforts Mr. Watson
and Chairman Butler Of the populist ma
tional committee are making to force the
/ democratic party to accept the ticket
! that was nominated by the populsts at
| st. Louis, but unless we are mistaken.
! these efforts are causing Mr. Jones a
good deal of uneasiness. We do not think
the populists care so much for the cause
of silver as they do for the success Of
their party. II our mints are to be opened
to the free and unlimited coinage of silver,
they want the populist party to have the
credit for It.
What is their programme? What It is
can be guessed from the steps they are
taking. At first It was not intended to
notify either Mr.. Bryan or Mr.. Watson
Of his nomination by the populists. Now
both are to be notified. OF course, Mr.
Watson will accept, and If Mr.. Bryan
does not accept steps will be taken at once
to make Mr.. Norton of st. Louis the pop
ulist candidate for President, and a pop
each state. If Mr. Bryan accepts the
populist nomination the national demo-
cratic committee win be requested to with
draw Mr.. Sewall from the democratic tick
ct and put Mr.. Watson in his place If
the committee refuses to comply with that
request the populists will do just what
they intend to do if Mr.. Bryan refuses to
accept the populist nomination, namely.
put out a ticket of their own. This ap-
pears to be their programme. They may
not urge it until after the Maine cleo
ton, because they expect that in the cleo
ton in that state the result will show
great republican gains, and hence furnish
a strong reason why the democrat and
and populist parties should combine their
forces.
The populsts think apparently that they
have the democrats in a tight place, and
can make their own terms. We are very
much mistaken If Chairman Jones and
the other democratic leaders yield to them
in any important particular. Chairman
Jones is quoted as saying that under no
circumstances will Mr.. Sewall be request
ed to withdraw 1t would be stupendous
mistake to either request or permit him to
Withdraw mistake from which the
democratic party would not speedily re-
cover. II Mr.. Bryan should accept the
populist nomination and Mr.. Watson
should be put I'M Mr.. sewalrs place, the
populists would be in a position to claim
the MANAGEMENT of the campaign and the
victory If that ticket should be elected,
and that is just about what they would
do.
