Ex-President Andrews of Brown
University has agreed to serve as the head
of the university which John Brisben
Walker, publisher of the Cosmopolitan
magazine proposes to create. In the
prospectus of the university is this an
nouncem snt:
''The course Of studies will be worked
out with reference to the real needs of
men and women in the various walks of
life, and will be designed not only to pro-
duce broader minds, more cultivated in
tellects and give greater fitness for Ger
tain kinds of work, but to make better
citizens, better neighbors, and give q
happier, higher type of man and woman
hood. All instructions, blanks, examina-
ton papers, official circulars, etc, will be
furnished free. There will be no charge
of any kind made to the student, all ex-
pense being borne for the present by the
college. No conditions except the pledge
of given number of hours study, will
attach to the entrance of students upon
the rolls of the university. The UNIVERSE
ty will be formally opened on September
/. Meanwhile, students desiring to enter
upon course will forward to the univer-
sitv the following information: Name
and address; previous courses of study
occupation in life, purposes for which
education is sought, studies which the
applicant desires to pursue.
This announcement is very mystifying
and leaves the reader pretty much in the
dark as to what kind of an institution
point it has and that is free tuition. But
how is it to be supported. Perhaps more
light will be forthcoming later.

Want of connection between the differ
ent branches of our government has often
been the subject of discussion but from
the nature of the case the discussion has
been of an almost hopeless character.
This hopelessness arises out of the very
nature of our plan of government. In
der that plan the legislature was to enact
laws subject only to the right of the Pres
ident to require a two-thirds vote; the
President was to execute the laws and
the justices were to interpret rrthem, not
only IN relation to individual rights, but
also in their relations to the Constitution.

According to the New York Herald
England will join in an international
monetary conference, but with the under
standing that she will not change her own
monetary standard. But what earthly
use can conference be that meets with
the understanding that one of the princi-
pal nations that takes part in 1.-THE
nation that is looked upon by all the
principal European nations is the one to
follow in commercial ideas-will refuse
under all circumstances to do the thing
which the conference is called for the
purpose of bringing about? A conference
held under such conditions would be

1t looks as if Bryan would have to get
a new issue if he is to keep his head
above water. The continued fall of silver
along with the rise of wheat is fast knock
ing the bottom out of the tub he has been
floating about in. His Populist sup
porters in Nebraska are beginning to see
that the silver issue is about played out
and are trying to lift him on to some
other kind of platform Some of the
principal of them discussed the question
at a recent conference, and one of the
number subsequently delivered himself
of the following as the sense of the con.
ference:
1T would appear that the interest is
lessenlng in the silver issue daily all over
the country, and if Mr.. Bryan keeps on
he will have nothing to tell in the next
campaign. Ii we can get him at home
and keep him quiet on the silver question,
elect him governor, and send Gov. HOl-
comb to the Senate next year. all the
factions will be in line for Bryan to make
the campaign of 1900. We have almost
abandoned hope, for the silver issue ap-
pears to be dead but unless on that Issue
we cannot see how Bryan will be an issue
IN the next Presidential campaign. While
his leading supporters think the silver
issue dead, Bryan is not inclined to come
home and go into the state campaigns,
but would prefer to stay on the platform.
Ii we cannot get him on this plan, how
ever, we are firmly of the opinion that he
can never make another race. Even as it
Is we can scarcely get the former fusion
silver forces out to the county conven.
lions They insist that they are too busy
to attend, and laugh at our advice that
they should keep up the party organiza.
tions as they begun Immediately after the
last campaign closed. We accept this as
the forerunner of the inevitable lack Of
| interest in the cause of the white metal
Some attribute it to the great crops and
general business revival, and think the
agricultural element will attend the silver
rallies as soon as the crops are out of the
way, but we think differently. Bryan has
not yet refused to abandon the platform
but at least he has not said he would.
He says he is not willing to stump the
state this fall in the interest of the fusion
ticket"

hunger and cold. Under circumstances
FAR more favorable the misery incident to
rush to gold fields has been great. The
exodus to California in 1s49 and to Colo
RADIO ten years later was attended with
great suffering, though the climate or
these two states is far milder than that
OF the Klondyke and the difficulties OF
getting to those gold fields insignificant
compared with those that await the jour-
ney through Alaska at this season OF the
year. 1t must be borne in mind that
winter sets, in in the Klondyke region
about the middle of September and that
after. chat date retreat is practically i'm
possible while there is slight chance OF
getting any food supply into the region
after that date. Hundreds of the men who
are starting for the district have had no
experience in roughing it, they know
comparatively little of the country and
they have taken few if any precautions
against failure to find a supply of food
when they reach their destination. Moth
ing can be more certain than that there
will be terrible suffering if the crazy
crowd now rushing Alaskaward do not
recover their reason before they get into
the depths of the wilderness, and are
shut off from retreat by ice and snow.

CURRENT COMMENT.
THE DEPTH OF DEGRADATION.
New York SUM-

N4tOW 1OiA houh.)
The Bryan Democrats receive and de-
serve the respect due men who declare
their principles and purposes boldly. They
have courage, at least, and are not sneaks
Everybody knows where to find them.
They themselves know where they are.
They are not afraid and not ashamed to
declare the false faith that is in them.
Contrast them with the contemplate
papers, assuming to oppose the infamous
heresy OF Organism, which have the i'm
pudence to parade their cowardice and
treachery by undertaking a casuistical
defence of the Maryland platform as a
denial of Organism and as sound and
original Democratic doctrine.
What hope is there for the Democratic
party when it's principles are thus torn
into shreds by Populistic ursurpers of its
authority, on the one ii lie, inl by traitors
pretending to defend it, on the other.
These protested organs of the National
Democracy, SO called, are earning the
contempt of the Bryanites and of all the
public, not for themselves alone, but I'M
fortunately for the sentiment for honest
money and civilization which they pre-
tend to represent.
The Maryland platform is a bald at
tempt at political swindle, clumsy.
bungling, and as discreditable to the in
tellect of those making it as it is disgrace
full to their moral sense and indicative of
their political blindness. They are de-
ceiving nobody.
Nothing, alas! exhibits more strikingly
the degradation into which Organism has
brought the Democratic party than this
Maryland platform of cowardice, treach-
cry, duplicity and self contradiction.

How different it would have to be with
us. Our Cabinet is appointed by the
President dependent upon his will, and
can be discharged by him at once. They
are in office for four years if it so please
the President. They cannot be reached
the House or the Senate. They would
share in great adventures without under
going their perils. If they won, it would
be well; if they lost, it would not be ill.
Men SO situated would have but little
influence, save for one thing, and that
would give them great influence. They
would sit in their seats with all the pat
ronage of all the departments, mighty
power, as unjust in its exercise, as mon
strous in it's Details as the briberies of
Walpole. Civil service reform may be
leavening the loaf, but the recent increase
of the population of Washington shows
that that loaf is not for our next meal.
Another point of difficulty is the Sem
ate, which, under our system. represents
the States. How could Cabinet officers
be there? Not to vote, certainly, for that
would very much disturb the PLAN 1t
certainly would not be needful to have
them there to make remarks. The Senate
is not like the House of Lords. 1t can
amend bills which raise revenue and
authorize expenditures, and this right is
exercised in the fullest and amplest man
ner, sometimes giving rise TO Une unjust
suggestion that the amendment is made
to amend and not to improve The Sena-
tors are elected for six years, and all that
was predicted of the great power of the
body when it was created has become
more than true. The advice and consent
that the Senator can give to appointments
to office have been great addition to
their power.
When the House of Lords refuses IN
comply with the demands of the country
the Ministry can appeal to the people. and
in case of sufficient provocation the neer-
age could be swamped in strict compli-
ance with the forms Of law. From the

The Passing of the Indian.

Under the auspices of the Smithsonian Institute systematized efforts are being made to preserve the language of the Indian tribes of America.
 But an unexpected difficulty has con fronted those engaged in the work. A gentleman whose duty it was to go out tu some of the tribes and endeavor 10 have the members talk into a phono- graph or graphoph )ne, Tn order to SC cure a record of the tongue, reported that he found that but few Indians of the present day-And they are older ones can speak pure language. Said he.
 "More than one. half of !he Indians now on the reservations-and this is the case with ali of lhe younger Indlans- converse in English. l. is not good E 1gIi-h, but 1t is the kind they speak d kind of pigeon English. I had the work of securing some Cherokee talk, and in doing SO talked with dozen lead ing men of the tribe.
 "They admitted to me that they did not know one Cherokee who could speak pure Cherokee. They said it was with the greatest difficulty that they could get the boys and girls to speak in their na- tive tongue at all, or to learn even the commonest woris or phrases
 GA few of the Sioux Indians speak pretty well, bu; it is d mixture. In less than twenty years I do not think there will be an Indian ia Inis country who can speak his native tongue perfectly. As far as the Indian children are con. cerned, they use six English words where they use one Indian word. The machines of the day will record ihe lan' gu .ge if it is spoken into them, but lhe fiji :ulry is 10 get Indians who can talk with the necessary degree of accuracy"

What is claimed to be new precipi tation process for cyanide solutions is thus described by the inventor in the London Mining Journal: The princi' pal feature of the Cowper-Coles process is an aluminium cathode, which over comes one of the chef difficulties apper taiuIug to the economical recovery o' gold from weak cyanide solutions b! electrolysis In the S;emens. Haiske process lead foil or lead strips are used. the cutting up of which is ledious maj ter. If several sheets are cut superim- posed the strips cling together, and have to be carefully spread out one by one SO that the surface may he exposed to the solution. cleaD-up is made every eeven or eight weeks, when the wood frames carrying the lead strips are with drawn, the lead strips removed and new substituted, ilIe auriierous lead being ul. timately melted down and conveyed to 8 central works 10 be curellei. This meth Ou l6 UOiI pChclNOJ 'bC io
 bor of fitting the strips into the frames is considerable, and the consumption oi lead is large item, having been com. puted by Mir Won Gernet, at the Wor, cester mine, at one-tenth of penny per ton of ore treated. The Cowper Coles process overcomes these difficulties, aluminium plates being substituted for the lead foll, advantage being taken of the fact that loose oxide is formed on the suffice of the aluminium, which enables the deposited gold to he readily stripped or wipsd from the cathodes as pure gold Gold by this process has been successfully extracted from cyanide solutions, containing only .01 per cent. of cyanide of potassium, 2H dwts. of gold to lhe ton of solution The substitution of aluminium for lead foil or strip enables the gold to be obtained as pure gold and also daily returns 10 be made of the amount of gold recovered.

She Gold Pan.

After experimenting with the horr spoon, sancers, Riotte spoon, the ba,ae, pointed tum lers and all tors of ap pIiances, there is nothing to compare with the old. original, California 20 inch gold pan, stamped out of one piece of sheet iron, with an angle of, say 30 de- grees and no crease in the bend. With this tool and five minutes instruction, bu; with considerable experience, one can rapidly reach a rough estimate oi the value per ton in gravel or pounded rock. That is something that ihe fire ASSAY cannot do for the prospector.-The Engineering Magazine.
