WASHINGTON, June l7.-In reply to a

PRESIDENT ANGELL's QUARTER.
CENTENNIAL.

The progress of the University of Mich
igan during President Angell's admins
tration has been not only In the multipli-
cation of departments, in the raising of
standards Of graduation, and in the in
crease of facilities of instruction, hut also
in the growth Of what may be termed
the true university spirit--a spirit that
disdains mere pedantry and loves learning
for its own sake, and that seeks to slough
Off the puerile manners and barbarous
customs that sometimes disgrace Ameri-
can college life. The presidents kind yet
firm bearing, quiet and unostentatious
manner, and genuine and high character,
have impressed themselves upon the life Of
the student community, making it whole
some and free from pretence, A devout
member Of the Congregational church,
and man Of pronounced and positive
Christian character, Mr. Angel has ever
striven to make the university an insti
tuition whose life and influence should
tell on the side of religion in its broadcast
and highest type, wholly free from a mar
row and seotarian character. While no
man as ever failed to be recommended
by him for a chair because of any particu-
lar religious affiliations, it is equally true
that he has sought for those men whose
personal life and character were not only
above reproach, but promised to be help
full TO the student community in the at
tainment of high ideals Martin l..

The agricultural department of the
government now boasts of a very perfect
organization for obtaining reports upon
the condition Of the crops, cereals in store
etc. Agencies have been established in
most of the counties, so that any change
IN the crop prospect throughout the entire
country could be quite accurately reported
to Washington in few hours. Are the
farmers benefited by this splendid system
of reportingS Is it not possible that it
may do them more harm than good? Who
uses these reports to the greatest advant-
age? Not the farmer, but the grain
speculator. Dealers in options bull or
bear the markets upon the strength Of
these reports. The agricultural depart
ment was intended to benedcially serve
the farmers, but the initial uses of these
reports fleece them rather than benefit
them. Would it not be wise to have a
commission investigate this matter.

The death of Alpheus Felch at Ann
Arbor, Mich, removes the last dis
tinguished gentleman who was a member
of Congress with Clay, Calhoun and
Webster, and yet it is forty-six years since
Calhoun died and forty-four years since
Webster and Clay died. Mr.. Felch was
30 years Of age and filled about every posi-
ton of honor and emolument that the
people could bestow upon him save that
of President of the United States. He
was legislator, auditor-general, congress
man, governor, United States senator and

GEN. FINLEY FOR DELEGATE AT
LARGE.

Crawford county will present the name
of Gen. E. B. Finley to the state conven-
ton for the honor of being elected one OF
the four delegates at large to the National
convention at Chicago. General Finley
has earned national reputation as an
earnest, untiring worker in behalf of the
free coinage of silver. For many years he
has devoted his labor and money in the
cause, and to his persistent efforts as much
as that of any other man in Ohio belongs
the credit of keeping Ohio in line for free
silver.
AS chairman Of the committee on reso-
lutions at our state convention in 1891, he
was largely influential in securing a free
silver plank.in our platform: again, as
chairman OF the same committee at our
state convention in 1894, he made the
same fight, and, with others, succeeded
in securing q declaration for free silver by
the Democracy of Ohio.
General Finley is an eloquent speaker,
sound and convincing; is thoroughly
posted on the subject, and nowhere in
Ohio can we find a man better qualified
in all respects to represent us at Chicago.
The Ohio Democratic convention will
be unquestionably for free silver and will
send free silver delegates to the Chicago
convention, and If pioneers in the cause
of free silver are to be recognized, we
know of no better and ADLER advocate than
