THE NEW BRIDGE.

Justice Clement has dismissed the suit brought
on behalf Of taxpayer to prevent the com
missioners of the New East River Bridge from
paying 100000 to cxpunge the rights OF the
company which three or four years ago OBJ
tanned from the Legislature franchise to erect
bridge between this city and Williamsburg.
BY so doing he has removed the only obstacle,
and made the way clear for the commissioners
to proceed with all possible speed to carry out
the task intrusted TO them. 1t does not appear
that the court proceedings have caused any
delay in the preparation Of the plans for the
bridge or in the preliminary work. but never
theless, they have produced a feeling of I'M
certainty that has been annoying II no worse.
The right Of the commissioners to buy out the
old bridge company was expressly granted by
the statute authorizing the erection Of the
bridge although they were at liberty to make
their own construction without reference to
the site selected by the company. They de-
cided that this site was preferable to any other,
but refused to pay the extravagant sum de-
manded by Uhlmann and his associates. IIav-
ing scaled them down from 100000 to one
third of that amount, it is generally conceded
| that they made good bargain and it was TO
determine whether the latter sum was Excess
! sive that the action referred to was begun. The

T.iSSAR COLLEGE.

The commencement exercises at Vassar Col
legc yesterday marked the completion Of The
thirticth year since the opening Of It's doors to
students and the tenth year Of President Tay-

periods may be reviewed with satisfaction by
all friends OF the college. Vassar had ceased
to be an experiment long before Dr. Taylor went
there, and during his administration il has been
less the subject of discussion than in earlier
days: but during these ten years 1t has grown
steadily In strength and resources. The char
meter Of It's work has been advanced It's courses
have been rounded out, and vnssar degree OF

comprehensive amount Of work thoroughly

THE PASSING or COBDENTSM.

"AthanaSus contra mundum as Mr.. Clad
stone once grandiloqucntly called Frce-Trnde
Great Britain, seems to be growing weary. lie
could, no doubt. maintain his ground still Ion
ger against the worldwide hercsy Of Protection.
But for what good? The Athanasus OF old
stood for q spiritual principle, and could for It's
sake we'll stand against hostile world. This
Athanas!us of to-day stands merely for ma
terial gain. OF that we may be sure. From
the beginning of CObdens crusade down to this
present day pounds, shillings and pence, and
nothing more, have been the inspiration OF
Free Trade Thus far the system has. on the
whole, been profitable. 1t is profitable to-day
But how much longer will it continue so! And
if commercially profitable, will IL be so from
political point OF view? To stand against the
world is an heroic thing at times. But would
it be- for England. If in that world were rccl-
oned her own richest colonies! Does she de-
sire to stand alone as Holland standsI These
are the questions the modern Athanasus has
been asking for some time to which the an
swer. at first family whispered in the ear, Is
now shouted aloud from the hOusctops.
Mr. Chamberlain with one Of the most lucid
and methodical of minds, has stated the case
with admirable precision. 1t is, in his view, not
merely n commercial but an imperial question
1t is not merely British prosperity, but inn
peral integrity that Is at stake. The Athana
slus who stands against the world must be not
the United Kingdom alone, but the whole
United Empire To realize this there must be
fiscal and commercial harmony. The Empire
cannot permanently exist half Protectonist and
half Free Trade any more than the United
States could exist half-free and halfslave To
effect such harmony three courses have bean

Not TO denounce the man as an

claim his ability to perform some
cures and perhaps do some good.
The Tribune can say this man pres
ents only the appearance of an H.

man; thoroughly imbued with the
the idea that he is a divine servant,
directed bya spirit (self erected
within HIM which be thinks

able degree that he can with Gods
gift in him cure all ills IN man--in
short he is simple weak religious
lcrank. In plain terms he is man
with a suaye, gentle voice, who has
grown long black hair and whis-
kers; nature by accident made him
to crudely resemble Christ; in the
hands Of 4 schrewd manager, and
