it in drawing from the errors and the sue
cesses of past ages the highest wisdom and
the noblest inspirations for meeting the de-
mands which the future is sure to bring
with it. 1t holds out the lamp of caution
to the explorer in the realms of truth,
guarding g once against the mistakes of
the past and the tendencies which might
lead to their repetition in the future
OF all the sciences history alone selects
the good and leaves the evil behind. 1t
forms the proper gateway to every depart
ment of human learning. So as we come
to the laying of cur first corner stone, it
has been our purpose to let the College of
History precede all others, for history is
itself the foundation of all the sciences.
The Idea Of IL National University.
George Washington was the first to con-
ceive the Importance of planting here al the
national capital a great university. His
grounds for advocating it were based upon
political considerations, namely. that the
American citizen should be trained in
America. in order TO be saved from mo-
rarchical and other notions unfavorable to
the development of citizenship in great
republic. But century of national history
has taught us that the true university
needs more than that 1t needs to open its

THE BRYAN DOLLAR
An Imposing Affair Made Of Cheap Metal for

Is it legal to issue Bryan silver dollars
In anticipation of Mr.. Bryan's succession
to the White House? This is the question
that has been agitating the officials of the
secret service bureau for several days
past If they have reached any conclusion
on the subject it has not yet been made
public.
The so-called Bryan dollar is rather
imposing affair. 1t may be made of pewter.

coins.
Will Make More of Them.
In view of the fact that the secret serv-
ice department never returns any counter
felt money which falls into its hands, Mr..
BinniX felt satisfied that the point had, to
all intents and purposes, BEEN decided in
his favor. and he told Star reporter this
morning that il was his intention to manu-
facture a large number of free Babbltt
metal dollars to use in the campaign in
Maryland.
Officials Refuse to Commit Themselves
The officials of the Treasury Department
in general ard of the secret service bu-
reau in particular, positively refuse TO
commit IL emselves on the question whether
the circulation of the big United States
imitation silver dollar called the Bryan dol
lar" Is or is not a violation of law.
An officer of the secret service bureau
told a Star reporter this AFTERNOON taat
three or four dealers who desired to make
these articles had asked the bureau If
there was any legal objection thereto, and
give an opinion the subject. He added
that such was the rule of the office.
In this particular case the applicants
were given a copy of the law bearing on
the subject. and advised to seek legal coun-
sci to whether the article in question
was in violation thereof.
Evening star., 1896-10-21

The secret service man said that no com.
plants against the Bryan dollar" had been
received at the Treasury Department, and
that no official notice of their existence
would he taken unless they were put in
circulate tion.
He said that the department had merely
declined to say in advance whether their
Circulation was, or was not. violation of
law, and the legality of the manufacture
of the coins will not be passed upon by the
department unless they are actually put in
circulation.
1t therefore appears that persons who
make and circulate these coins do so at
their own risk. and they will only know
what the Treasury Department thinks of
the transaction after its conSummation.

g. The American University is to stand
for the highest ideals in the life of the in
diVidual, the church anT the nation-stan,,
for the highest and the est in attainment
and achievement. The distinguished au-
thor, Max Nordau says that the one great
trouble with this world today-the one
prime reason why it is doing so little that
is worthy-is its lack of ideals. He par
ticulariZeS as to nations: England, France
Germany and the United States have ac-
cording to his statement, no worthy ideals:
have nothing great to inspire and stimulate
them, and consequently are accomplishing
nothing great and noble. Whether We ad-
nit his statement or not, we cannot deny
that the want Of high ideals is lamentably
apparent in church and state. Ii we take
the so-called learned professions, the law
yer, the doctor, the clergyman, the teacher
each and all would accomplish incompar-
ably greater results if they lived constantly
under the inspiration of high ideals
1t Is the fondly cherished hope of the
projectors of the American University tha
it will furnish to a multitude of educated
men the loftiest ideals of scholarship and
character and conduct, ideals that shall Ufl
the leaders of thought and of action in
every department of life to more command
ing heights. Standing here at the capital O,
this favored nation. occupying so conspicu-
GUS a position, this university will have the
greatest opportunity ever given to an insti.
arship and genuine religion and to bless tn.
" orld with their combined and beneficent
influence.
t. The American University is to stand
for equality in privilege amid variety in
environment. Too many agencies are now
active in society whose chief work is 10
level down. This institution is rather to
level up. Into these halls is ever to be wei.
conaed any seeker of truth holding a degree
from a reputable college. Equality before
the shrine of truth Is the motto over these
portals of learning. A sublimer sight the
world has never seen than will be witnessed
upon this favored spot when the representa-
tives of all lands, Of all races. of all classes
of all religions here meet, uniting in pur.
suit of common object and blending thei,

cities when n has talent and faculty,

large for its possessor to become a con
cert singer.
THE fees of the successful concert
singer are large; she is constantly in
demand; her repertory is of songs, not
of entire roles, and is more easily &C
quired; her expenses are limited to the
cost of a few evening gowns, in the
place of scores of costumes. For the
opera singer there is plenty of hard
work, but for that there is the compen-
sation of being associated in many cases
with the famous artists of the world,
