There has been of late years quiet
but ntroug ana determined movement
among the colleges of New England
to bring about reform in the grant,
ing of degrees. Fewer of them and
more meaning in those which are
granted, to the end that they shall
represent proved scholarship, aud
convey distinction only where it has
been earned. This has been the pur-
pose in view. Certainly the power to
grant the higher degrees should be
placed in the right hands, and even
then it is one to be most sparingly ex-
ercised. Degrees mean much or little,
according to their source, and the care
exercised in their disposal. There has
been general recognition of the fact
that a degree coming from some small
western college is far less to be desired
than a similar decoration bestowed by
Harvard nr, Amherst or Williams.
These Massachusetts, colleges are eXer-
cising greater restraint than once pre-
vailed They will do wisely to main
tain this new policy even more strictly.
Meanwhile it will be something of n
shock to those who have been attempt
ing to promote this reform in the
granting of degrees to discover that
the French American college of this
city is at liberty to dispense the higher
degrees. This institution will make
no claim to rank with our colleges
whose growth represents $50, 100 and
rs years of slow upbuilding in scope
and scholarship. To permit an insti-
tuition whose work must be so largely
primary in its chnracter-however adj
mirable in its special feld-to com
pete with our real colleges in dispens-
ing degrees is great mistake. The
thing never should have been per-
mitted by the legislature of Massachu-
setts, and the scholarship of the state
may well protest.

AT HEADQUARTERS.
$50 - -----..aDts ofthe EaPi-
Gus Candidates.

ST. LOUIS, No. June The headpuar-
tiers of the national committee are located in
the southern hotel. and as many of the can
didates aS could, have secured quarters un-'
der the same roof. The national committee
of the republican party is composed OF mem
bcrs from each state and territory in the
Union. Its president is Thomas Carter of
Montana, and its secretary is j. II. Manley
of Maine.
The national committee meets in ST. Louis
June 10, a ld makes up the temporary roll
of the convention that is, it considers the
credentials of all delegations. In case there
is no contest the delegation is given its con
Yeutiou credentials. In a district where
there is a contesting delegation the creden-
tials of the two delegations are considered
and the committee decides which delegation
shall have a seat in the temporary orgauiZa-
ton
In the coming convention this item of the
temporary roll is an important one, and in
it is to be found the most formidable rock
that at present looms up before the Mckin-'
lev ship. There are now l50 contests, rep
resenting nearly 300 seats in the convention.
If a majority of the national committee are
Mckinley men they will seat the Mckinley
delegations and the Ohio Napoleon ia safe.
If a majority of the committeeman, how
ever are unfriendly to the favOrite, the
anti-McKinley delegations viii be seated
IN the temporary organization, ana as tHe
delegations seated in the temporary organ
ization by the national committee have q
vote on permanent organization, the COM
pleXon of the national committee is of vital
Importance to Mckinley. When the report
of the committee on credentials is sub
mitted the delegations seated in the tempo
rary organization will, of course vote for
themselves.
The headquarters of Mckinley are on the
ground floor of the Southern hotel, COnVen-
lent to those of the national committee and
of Mark Hanna. These quarters are in
large room. formerly used as store. They
have been profusely decorated for the occa-
sion. prominent feature of the headquar-
ters is picture of Mckinley on horseback in
Napoleon hat painted on a large window
| between the Mckinley quarters and the hotel
rotunda.
The Reed delegations in the city will be
almost as large as those of Mckinley. Reed
has secured headquarters on the second floor
of the southern hotel. i'll order to he near
the national committee. His quarters in
clude u large parlOr and smoking room.
They are elegantly furnished and admirably
adapted to the entertainment Of large
number of visitors
Cullom's headquarters are in the South
ern hotel.
j. II. Manley of Maine, secretary of the
national committee, has elegant quarters
near Reeds, in the Southern hotel.
Allison's headquarters are the second floor
of the Southern hotel. Iowa will put up a
strong fight for her man. and will have
large delegation in st. Louis to help along
his cause.

New Charter.

The new Whitney gas bill will nov
become law without much doubt.
The Senate recently adopted all of the
amendments offered by senator South.
ard to meet Mr. Wolcott's views, and
it is not expected that there will be
any formidable opposition in the
House. In view OF the many amend
ments made to it in the Senate it was
decided 10 postpone action in the
House in order that the men,
bers might see the measure
in its present form, in print The
House refused to pass the origina
Whitney bill over the acting govern
or's veto, by vote of "a yeas to 121
nays. H. NJ Whitley, Nathan Mat
thews and W. NJ. Butler held q con-
ference with the acting governor. The
conference was private, but it is known
that the governor told his visitors that
he would sign a proper gas bill. The
Senate devoted most of one day to
discussing the new measure agreed
upon to take the place of the bill
