Princeton has played an important
part in the religious history of the
country, having stood firmly, from the
beginning, for the Christian religion,
and hundreds of her sons are today
filling pulpits all over the land, and
many others are missionaries in for
eign lands.
Princeton's influence in the fntellec-
tual life of the country has been
marked. To name no others. mention
may be made of Maclean, the first pro-
feSsor of chemistry in an American
college. Arnold Guyot, geographer and
true inventor of our weather signal
service, and Joseph Henry, the dis
coverer in the field of electricity and
magnetism.
All these factors in the history of
Princeton will be brought out in their

student of the university to attend.

strong feeling growing in favor OF hav-

The immense sums of money result

the committees of college men having

Gratis of Illinois, being in pitiably
small minority, have declared that they
will have nothing to do with the state
convention called by the state committee
but will flock by themselves, elect set
of delegates and send them to Chicago to
demand admission. In Nebraska and
Texas the gold men are preparing to play
the same game, and there is little doubt
but lator it will spread to Ohio and In

the silver men are strong.
1t is safe to assume that if this scheme
is carried out and two sets of delegates
from many Of the large and important
states appear at the Chicago convention,
demanding admission, there will be the
biggest kind of row. And the merits
of it will be with the silver men. Much

to be deprecated, there can be no defence

There has been some talk Of raising the
money needed for extraordinary expenses
this year by means Of temporary loans.
A glance at the constitutional amend
ment will show that the only temporary
loans a city whose debt is in excess of
per cent Of its valuation can
legally procure is temporary
loan to be paid within the year it is
made. 1t is perfectly legal for the city
to procure loan in anticipation of taxes
because that loan is to be paid within the
year. But temporary loan which should
extend beyond the year would be Illegal.
The amendment is as follows
No city or town shall hereafter create
any debt or liability, which simply, or IN
the aggregate with previous debts or liz
bilit1es, shall exceed five per oentum Of
the last regular valuation of said city or
town; provided, however. that the atlop-
ton of this article shall not be construed
as applying to any fund received in trust
By said city or town, nor for any loan for
tho purpose of renewing existing loans
Or for war, or to temporary loans to be
paid out of money raised by taxation
during the year in which they are made.
1t is trae that Auburn did resort to
the temporary loan to raise money to
purchase its water works, and practically
evaded the amendment by placing it in
the tax and afterwards abating the
tax. But such bad example as that
ought not to be followed unless in a
most desperate emergency.

A DESPERATE GAME.

Finding themselves in hopeless
minority the gold Democrats are now
preparing to control the convention by a
scheme that is little less than fraudulent.
Mr.. William f. Harrity first preached it
publicly though 1t had probably been de-
termined upon before. The scheme Is to
get mp contesting delegations in all tho
large states in which the silver men are
in majority SO as to keep out the silver
delegates pending the organization of the
convention. This can be done, it
is thought, with comparative ease
because the National committee

of our neutrality laws, and would have
made possible the fitting out of flibus-
tering expeditions for Cuba with i'm

the Cuban insurgents IN this country,

It is said that an attempt will be
made to commit the second district
Democratic convention which is to be
held at Lewiston tomorrow to free silver,
and that the head and front of the IN owe
ment is no less a person than the Hon.
Arthur Sewall, member of the National
Democratic committee from this state.
There is nothing very unreasonable about
this. Mr.. Sewall sometime ago openly
declared himself in favor of free silver,
and it is not unnatural for him to seek
TO commit his congressional District to
that policy. But it is curious fact that
while Mr.. Sewall is Tor free silver he is in

Probably Mr.. Sewall will not succeed in

vention, yet there is much more silver
