ing so he necessarily a~ntagonizes one
faction or another. and in so doing he
must injure the institution that has
been committed to his care.
In great crises a mar must follow his
conscience and speak his thought with
out fear of consequences. All men,
however, who are placed in positions
of great responsibility owe something
to expediency, when that debt can be
paid without sacrifice Of principle. To
require of President Andrews that he
change his opinion upon any public
question would be an outrage. To say
that he should not express that opin-
ion freely and frankly when an occa-
sion arose that made it necessary
would be a denial of political n per-
sonal liberty. To say that he should
not obtrude, unnecessarily and Often
sively, upon the public views that must
be distasteful to a part of the interests
under his care is proper, and most peo-
pie will agree that the need Of doing
so should never have arisen. AS far
as the talk of coercion and illiberality
is concerned, one has only to imagine
what would happen if a majority of he
trustees of an educational institution
were ardent believers in free silver, and
if a professor in their employ should
insist not only in teaching the propri-
ETY. Of the gold standard, but in pub
fishing tina opinion in magazine arti-
cles and newspaper interviews.
We are very glad to see this episode
ended in a proper and digniied way.
It should be a lesson both 10 President
Andrews and to those bumptious mem
bers of the corporation of whom Con-
gresham Walker seems to be the chief
and the most irrecOncilable. All will
now be we'll if President Andrews shall
retain a position where he has done eX-
ceIlent work and won golden opinions
from his associates-if we nay use that
offensive word in connection with him
and if he shall at the same time,
without restricting his own liberty OF
thought OF of speech, come to the con-
clusion that a man in his responsible
position does not need to rush into
print at every opportunity when an ex-
citing political contest is on hand.

TOM AND HIS CRITIC.

If a cat may look upon a king, a loyal
Republican may look upo his gar,
and if a cat may look at his majesty, it
follows that it may hump its back at
him and give those other feline mani
festations of disapproval. Logically,
therefore, inasmuch as a Republican is
as good as a cat, he may, if so moved,
lay back his ears, or by whatever is
his habit of expression show his dis
sent from the cars opinions. If the
Republican chance to be a representa-
tive in congress he will, of course, re-
frain from any open demonstration of
disagreement, for it has come to be we'll

that not consumed is because of under
consumption. If consumption equaled
production, there would be neither
overproduction nor underconsump-

was produced. Consequently the ulti-

IN MINNESOTA AND RHODE
ITS NEW STATE PLAYHOUSE
BEING BUILT OF GEORGIA MARBLE,
WITH THE BASEMENT OF
HOME GRANITE.
PRESSURE FOR ALL LOCAL STONE.
George A. StOckweII, Assistant Sec
rotary of Farmers Congress,
Tells of Their Experience.

Minnesota is not the only state that
is going to have a capitol building, con-
structed of white building stone, and
the brilliant Georgia marble seems to
have the preference for the superstrue-
ture, while the foundations are of gran
tie. Such a capitol is being erected at
Providence, r. L., under similar cond1-
tons to the new building which Will be
the pride of Minnesota. In speaking
of this to a reporter for the Gil e,
George A. Stockwell, the third assis-
tant secretary of the National Farm
ers' congress, said:
81 see by the 40 b e that you peo-
pie in Minnesota are about to have a
new state house; singularly enough we
are building one down in Providence,
and Little Rhody" is spending a cool
SO, 200, 900 ON her playhouse. But the CO.
incidence goes still further; our build
ing is being constructed of white
Georgia marble for superstructure, with
a basement of granite, from Westerly,R.
1. That granite is as fine as any in the
world and a great many people wanted
the entire building to be of it, especial
ly as it was a product Of the state.
There were all SOfIS Oh pressure
brought to bear Upon the board of cap
itol commissioners to have them use
home stone, the governor and the ma
jority of the members of the legisla-
ture also expressed their preferences
for it, but the commissioners intimated
hat they knew their business and
awarded the contract as they saw fit,
although a home man got it.
cat first there was a how of indig-
nation from the people all over the
state, and they talked of injunctions
and all sorts of legal proceedings to alb
rogate the contract, but when they
learned that a large part of the stone
was really the granite, a home prod
uct. and that all the rest was to be
dressed on the grounds by home work.
men, they came to their senses and
now are we'll satisfied. The granite is
being cut at Westerly and the marble
on the capitol site, sheds being erected
for this purpose, and a small army of
men is being employed there"

WHY III Is MTHE RESTN

P. D., better known as phil Ar
mour, and best known as one of the
Big Four" who have gathered into
the hollow of their capacious hands the
dressed meat business of this country,
reached his Chicago home the other
day from a trip to Europe. His bloom
ing countenance and flowing burn
sides, his elastic step and satisfied
smile were duly noted and pictured
by the Chicago press, and his views
eagerly besought by the ubiquitous re-
porters. Mr.. Armour was in high spir-
it's. Some time ago, before he went
abroad, he had predicted that wheat
would pass the dollar point and should
go to the half notch between one and
two. Wheat scored a dollar the day
he returned. He felt the glow of the
corroborated prophet who is not with
out honor in his own country. Should
it come to pass that Mr.. Armour had
gone long on wheat and that he real
lied on his holdings and thus got out
of the way of the slump that followed,
it will appear that Mr.. Armour is also

RESCUED IN THE PARK.
st. Paul People Heroes in a Thrill
ing Event.

One of a party of tourists from Yel-
loWstone park, returning yesterday,
brought the news of an almost mirac-
ulous escape from death, and a rescue
IN Which st. Paul people were the lead
ing actors. Several days ago, among the
visitors in the park were DIR. F. P.
Canac-Marquis, Daniel Coyle and
William Barrie, all of st. Paul. Stop
ping at the same hotel with them was
William Hill, an elderly gentleman
from OSaWatOmie, Kan, who. with his
daughter, was making a Western tour.
Leaving the hotel early one evening,
he started with the young lady along
the Lookout for a glance at the Red
Rock, situated at the foot of the Mann
moth Falls. By some misfortune the
path was left and the two strayed
onto dangerous ground. Without
warning there was a crumbling of the
earth n Mr.. Hill fell to what seemed
certain death, for at the foot of the
straight descent was the shelving side
of the canyon, terminating without
apparent foothOld in a precipice, a
sheer drop of four hundred feet.
The daughter, left on the brink of
the crumbling bank, stood powerless
as her father, after the first straight
fall, rolled helplessly down the shelly

Toned by nature into a lonely ledge,
was reached and Mr.. Hill, dazed as he
was by the jar and the terrible roll
ing over the rough descent, grasped
at the friendly foot-hold and checked
his fall almost at the edge of the preci-
pice.
With just presence of mind enough
left to realize that help must come
quickly, if it were to avail, the daugh-
ter hurried back to the hotel and gave
the alarm. By this time it was dark.
To have attempted the rescue even in
daylight would have been hazardous,
but there was no hesitation even with
the added risk. Among those who
heard the tale of Mr.. Hills danger
were DR.. Canac-Marquis and the
others of the st. Paul party. With
out delay the work of rescue was or
ganized, the local men being aided by
E. Amy, of the United States army,
who was also al the hotel. Provided
with the necessary ropes, the rescuers
reached the spot and DR.. Marquis was
lowered carefully down the slope. Mr..
Hill was found clinging to the ledge,
conscious, but weak and faint from his
terrible experience. The rope was tied
about his body and he was raised in
safety, DR.. Marquis following the

FELL THIRTY FEET.
Albert SaIaba Takes "a Tumble and
EscaneS Injury.

Albert salaba, a shoemaker, ffty-eight
years old, living at 1888 West Seventh street,
had a miraculous escape yesterday afternoon.
Salaba started for the upper levee, and in
order to save time attempted to go down the
path leading from the Milwaukee railroad
tracks, on the bluff just east Of Goodhue
street. The distance from the top Of the
bluff to the levee proper is about forty feet,
and Salaba had proceeded down only about
ten feet when a piece of rock on which he
had stepped broke. He fell and made the
distance to the Omaha tracks, about thirty
feet, in about five seconds. Fortunately Sa-
laba intuitively rolled himself as near the
shape of a ball as possible, and to this fact
owes his not being seriously injured. The
fall, however, rendered him unconscious. and
he was picked up for dead by a switching
crew on the Omaha road and carried to the
Western avenue station. Examination showed
that he was still breathing, and the central
patrol was sent for. By the time the wagon
reached the scene Salaba had recovered. and
as he claimed to be not injured he was taken
to his home. Last evening he said he felt
a little sore, and complained of a pain in his
side. but would not allow his family to send
for a doctor.
