The Dingley bill has been "taken up"

OF course the Senate will never pass it

can not get lit removed, it will never

seemed likely til 1t the free silver Re-
publican Senators would be willing to
consider this bill upon its merits this
winter; good many Of them were talk

considered and concluded to resume

UNIVERSITY AND COLLEGE.



(From Paper by President Butler rend
before thu Glericas Club)
The subject OF the paper was The Col
lege in Relation to the University. The
first part Of the paper consisted of con-
dengei account of the rise of ths Univer-
sity. Beginning with the great oolleo-
lions of students, about individual
teachers, carly in the eleventh century,
the organization Of these first into
nations and afterward into college 3.
was traced to the resulting evolution IF
the English University AS typiiei in OK
ford and Cambridge. 1t was shown that
the IN iyersity as at present conceived in
this country and distinguished from the
college, consists Of q collection of special
lied graduate schools, open to men and
women from every quarter. Offering to
them Instr ucton in every k ind Of knowl-
ed 20 and pre-suppcsing the work Of tho
college to have been done beforehand.
The graduate schools Of Hopkins, The
Un1yers ity of Chicago and Harvard were
cited as illustrations Of the university in
this conception Of it. The local college,
the country college If one chooses to
designate it SO. receives new and special
emphasis from these great undergraduate
schools in the cities. Young men and
women must, for economic reasons, find
their undergraduate work as near homo
ms they can. That is to sag in the local
college. MOREOVER the college situated in
proper homs for the undergraduates, and
the semi -paternal character Of the moder
ate sized college makes snoh an institu-
tion the fitting home of the undergradu-

PRESIDENT AND POPULAR VOTE.

People who think that our Presidents
should be chosen by popular vote should
find food for reflection in the statement
from Austin that during the 1sst week
of November the state returning board
was counting tho vote for Texas, and that
even SO long after the election as tho LIST
of De;embar the figures had not been re-
ceived at the capital from six counties.
Fancy the condition of the country after
an election like that of 1880, when Car
field rec ivcd PA electoral sotes and Han

tn wait q month or move for the returns
from Texas in order to learn which can-
didate had a plurality of the popular

ing 8, AGA more for Garfield than for Han
cock in the whole Union. Think, too.

officials who always compose returning
boards in Texas would have had to throw
out 10. 900 Repu blican votes in that stats
in order to lenvo Hancock ahead in the
