The University of the United States.

There has just been issued from the
Government Printing Office a pamphlet
containing the report Of Senator Kyle in
favor OF the establishment of the Univer-
sity OF the United States. Accompanying
the report are addresses from men promi-
nent in all circles of the higher life of the
nation. presenting arguments to show the
need of such an institution and ans wering
the objections advanced against it in
some quarters. Altogether, it makes very
interesting reading. and it may not prove
uninteresting to point out some OF the
salient reasons advanced for creating
national university.
Attention is called TO the fact that such
an institution as the bill contenplatcs
does not exist in the United States today.
1t is stated that bet ween 1000 and 5000
American students are abroad each year
for postgraduate work in European uni
versities; a confession that American in-
stitutions do not fully equip men for
special lines of work. IT is understood that
many prominent American educators, repre-
senting our hest universities, are at the
present time petitiuning the universities
OF France to open their doors TO American
students for special work-a confession that
European universities have facilities that
we bave not What is really most re-
n,arkabIe is that in the more than hun
dred years of national existence de-
ternlined effort to establish such Il uni
yersity should not have been made long
ago. all the more, as even Washington, at
the very threshold of the nations life,
recognized the necessity for it, and gave
a sum of money to further the purpose.

IN A PRECINCT CELL
First Part of the Ordeal Is Passed Sue
ceSsfully.


So at last we were fairly started and
walked quietly enough behind the lady and
her little girl up the narrow towpath.
There were numerous boats lying in the
sluggish stream and the men on them
stared after us wOndcringly. To all Of
the men the lady gave papers and spoke
pleasantly. but said nothing about me.
When we reached the foot Of the steps
that lead up to the Aqueduct Bridge
the missionary paused at a little tumble
down house to ask the woman who lived
there il she knew me. She went inside to
ask her, and beat on the door ndreiterat-

''Oh, do; she will do you some injury,

The missionary sighed, and we trUdged
along.
Still another time we paused to ask a
woman, who was leaning over her gate with
her ba by, il she knew W me- The two women
whispered together about me. and inter-
rupted them fiercely to ask the stranger
if she was child OF God.
"Oh, do take her to the police, madam -

There is not a word of truth in the fake
editorial published by the Star last evening,
in which it said that President Cleveland
has reminded
Spain politely of her perfidy, and tells
her that the present war, which he admits
is greater one than the ten years war,
is the result of that perfidy; assures her
that reforms must como before she can
hope for peace in Cuba, and then earnestly
adjures her TO promise again. He seems
willing 10 be content with that. If she
will simply agree TO do what she has
stubbornly refused TO do, although under
solemn promise TO do for thirty years, he
will be satisfied. He decides that she is
guilty, but he is willing to take her per-
sonal bonds.
The President thus far has not communi-
Gated with Spain on the Cuban resolutions,
nor viii he do so without the knowledge
of the public.
In this connection the attention OF read
ers is called to the editorial policy of The
Times. AS a level-headed newspaper, it
does not believe i'll commenting editorially
on rumors; or, i'll attempting TO establish
gossip on important questions as a fact
by publishing a grave opinion concerning
its possible effect. The public is deserving
this conservative method of conducting an
editorial column, inasmuch as that depart
! ment of a newspaper is looked upon by read
ers as information, counsel or advice, based
! upon an accurate knowledge OF the subject,
and it very nearly approaches betrayal OF
their confidence TO clothe chlmera in the
hablliments of truth and give Ii editorial
significance.
The Star has also fallen into another

There can be no need" says the report,
FOR an undergraduate university at Wash
ington supported at natl onal expense.
Sectarian colleges have already covered
this field. This bill contemplates an in
stitution for men seeking wide
fields for scientific and phlosophic re-
search, and with the worlds best equip
ments at hand 1t will hardly be disputed
by anyone whose Judgment is OF value that
a national university ought to round out
the educational systems OF the United
States. As the State universities rest
upon the public schools and colleges of
the respective states, so they would form
the propagating grounds, as it were, for
the national university, where the fruits
Of learning would attain still greater ripe
ness. As the report says, "A great uni
versity can be founded and equipped by
The government at Washington at less ex-
pense than at any other place or by any
private institution. Such an in
sttution would complete the grande stedu-
cational system in the world and enable
Americans 10 take most conspicuous part
i'll those researches ADMINISTRATIONS which
are essential to the worlds real progress )"
The bill which this report accompanies
contemplates no eXtravagant appropria.
tions. Only SIS, 900 is asked for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1897, and $25, 900
for the next. Future appropriations and
permanent endo wment are expected to
come either by direct appropriation or by
setting aside part Of the proceeds OF
public land sales. Ii is to be hoped that
Congress will rise 10 the occasion and pass
the bill promptly at the earliest possible
opportunity.

District Revenues and Expenditures.

for no special purpose. If this surplus,
which amounts to several hundred thousand
dollars, were directly available in case OF
an emergency, the injustice would not
be so very grIevous, bat as it stands now
it is a decided hardship upon the tax
payers. Either the money paid by them
ought to be applied to legitimate cXpend-
itures, or else taxes should be so reduced
as to leave no surplus.
TIE whole incongruouS mess results from
the peculiar condition in which the people
of the District find themselves. They pay
millions of taxes every year, yet have no
voice in tue manner and purpose of their
application. The people of the Capital OF
the United states, whose government is
founded upon the idea that there shall be
no taxation without representation have
less voice in the management of their
municipal affairs than those OF any city
in any European country, save. perhaps,
Russia and Turkey. If they had control
Of their revenues they would either ap-
propriate literally or reduce taxes so as
to leave no such surplus as now lies idle
and useless, and they would also know
how to hold their executive Officers to
st riot accounta bility in the matter of
expenditures.
