A BRAVE REMONSTRANCE

A majority of the professors at Brown
university believe in free thought and
free speech and they have the courage
of their convictions. They have for
mally demonstrated to their corporation
against the action of the latter body
asked that the whole matter be recon-
eidered.
This action by the faculty Of Brown
university forms new chapter in most
important incident in the educational and
political history Of our country. 1t
means that the conscientious American
educator will not submit to gag rule:
it teaches that money cannot buy their
opinions nor stif1e their convictions.
Contrast this with the action of the
directors of the university who sought
to gag President Andrews in the free
expression Of his honest convictions be-
cause they hoped thereby to get money
bequest from the king Of the Standard
oil trust. There was no other cause for
monstrance pointed out that the univer-
sity under the wise and able management
Of President Andrews had flourished as
it had never fiourished before, and that
there had been a remarkable increase
in the number of students. The fact that
President Andrews was at the head Of
the institution was a great help to it.
What effect the remonstrance' will have
remains to be seen. Perhaps the direct
ors in their eager reach after the favor
of plutocracy will demand the resigna-
ton of all who dared to stand by their
honored head, but if this is done it is
the university and not the professors
that will ultimately suffer.
The Brown university incident proba-
bly, marks the first occasion
where politics and the money
power have interfered in the man
agement of a leading American ed
ucational institution, and it is to be
hoped that the like will never occur
again. 1t casts disgrace upon the people
and menaces our republican ideas. 1t is
not strange that foreign observers should
sound from their critical but disinter-
ested point of view, the note of solemn
warning

IDLE DENOMINATION

The sealing issue between the gov
United States is about to be settled
The Washington conference, which is
now practically agreed upon, Is ex-
pected to take jurisdiction of the whole
question and remove every cause for
further irritation between the affected
parties This prospect seems to give
fairly general satisfaction on both sides
of the Atlantic, there being only certain
lingo newspapers on either side that
take occasion to indulge in adverse crit
icism Of the situation.
Fortunately a struggling newspaper
antagonism of wise purpose is gener-
ally held to be about as ridiculous as the
unanimous newspaper condemnation of
an evil purpose is known to be powerful
Either case reaches the extreme. Upon
this side we have the silly declarations
that Great Britain has been coerced:
that she has been compelled by our die
tatorial stand to surrender while uncon-
vinced to our demands. On the other
side we have the lingo London press
declaring that the promptings of COM
mon honesty on the part of Great Brit
ain, by which she has agreed to submit
certain international questions to arbi-
tration, are acts of weakness that will
SO tend to nourish our self-conceit over
here that our dishonest exactions will
ultimately imperil the very integrity of
the British empire, and that England
should therefore take hostile attitude.
Some of the writers of this sort of
trash are honest in their delusion, some
are undecided from want of fuller infor-
ma ton and some are irreclaimAble lin

A writer maintains that coffee is re-

THE LIBRARY APPoRT1oNMENT

In making up his estimate for the cur
rent fiscal year it is claimed that the
city auditor, in his anxiety to make an
economical showing, has treated the
public library with some degree of
harehness, the result, no doubt, of his
adherence to official routine rather than
10 feeling against valuable public in
stitution. The condition of the funds
belonging to each department of the
city government shows that, with the
one exception of the public library, they
have little or nothing on hand at the
end of the fiscal year. Having nothing
on hand there is a gap Of nearly three
months which has to be bridged over
flow into the treasury. During this time
the council is continually bothered with
applications for temporary transfers
from one fund to another, in order that
tory shows examples of some wonderful
municipal financiering which has been
resorted to in order to meet this pres
sure.
The public library has always man
aged it's affairs so as to have on hand
at the end of the fiscal year enough
money to pay salaries and other current
expenses during the period covered by
the end Of the fiscal year and the time
when tax receipts come in; but this year
the auditor has deducted from the libra
~ apportionment not only the balance
it has on hand, but also his estimate of
the sum total of the two-cent fines that
may be collected during the coming year.
In addition to these deductions he has
made cut of $4,000 on the library esti-
mate, and the account stands as fol-
lows:
Eesimate Of the board Of directors
The herald., 1897-08-05

of the amount required, $30,57S; deduct
cut made by auditor, $4,000, also balance
from last fiscal year. ss1s1.es, and esti-
mated revenue, s13S1.61, and the library
is allowed, net $1S,S0971.
If these figures are permitted to stand
the library will not only be hampered in
it's purchase Of the necessary books re-
quired for its growing circulation and
also in the payment Of salaries, which
are today the lowest paid in any de-
partment of the city or county
government, but 1t will find itself
at the end of the fiscal year
without any money on hand with
which to pay the salaries which will
fall due between that time and the time
of the collection Of the taxes. The de-
ductions made by the auditor will, there
fore, serve their purpose only for the
current fiscal year, at the end Of which
a deficiency will have TO be met and tided
over by some expedient, such as the
temporary transfer and illegal loan from
some fund with money to its credit.
There is nothing to recommend such
systerm of financiering. and it would
evidently be far more convenient to con-
tinue the practice of ignoring the bal
ance on hand, whatever it may be, and
to make a full allowance for twelve
months, which would save the hardship
of discounting salary warrants, an ex-
pedient that it has never vet been nec-
essary to resort to in the library, but
which the action of the present city aud
itor may compel in the future.

DISCONTENT WITH EXISTING
CONDITIONS

Chauncey Mitchell Depew from Lon
don informs the world that Organism"
is another name for discomfort with ex-
isting conditions. He thinks with pros
porous times from now until 1900 the
whole fabric of the Democratic party
as at present constructed will fall to
pieces, but that with a failure on the
part Of the Republican party to produce
their often promised prosperity, Mr.
Bryan will sweep the country.
Chauncey is a bright man but he does
not know it all. He knows what most
people know and he knows little more.
He is partly right and partly wrong.
He is wrong in the use of the word
Organism" There is no such ism. The
principles for which Mr.. Bryan stands
reknown among clear minded people as
Democracy. They were enunciated in
the platform or declaration of princi-
pies by that great national party in con-
vention assembled in the city of Chicago
They were not invented by Mr.. Bryan.
They are not the handiwork of any one
man nor of any clique of men. The
colossal figure of no boss" rose to DOM
mate that convention of unfettered cit
izens The platform was the outgrowth
of the wisdom of many minds. On that
platform Mr.. Bryan was nominated for
clear logic and courageous bearing, he
defended those principles.
That declaration of principles certain
ly does express discomfort with existing
conditions. The Democratic party would
be false to its founders, false to its ira
ditions, false to it's country and false in
the sight of heaven, if it's platform did
not express dissatisfaction with the ex-
listing conditions.
Let US go back. About the time the Re-
publican party had risen securely into
power, two scheming rascals, Jay Gould
and Jim Fiske, one dissolute roue the
other pious hypocrite, as many esti-

steal the Erie railroad from the owners.
They lobbied through the legislature of
New York a seemingly innocent bill pur-

All signing their love of the rain.

The Trust and Prices

The solemn truth is that no trust on
the American continent ever reduced,
except, perhaps. for stock jobbing or
other selfish and temporary purposes,
the price of its product. This is not what
trusts are organized for. There is an
opinion quite prevalent all over this
country that certain trusts have lessened
the cost of production, and therefore
the prices of many commodities. This
opinion is the result of trust niisrepre-
sentation and manipulation. 1t is true
that products have been cheapened but
natural laws have brought this condition
about. Many products would be very
much cheaper than they are If there
were no trusts.-Cleveland Leader.

On the other hand, our writer's who
happen to know something about Eng
lish methods in public affairs, from Of
fetal or other practical experience,
know how to account for British tardi-

in position to judge of the good faith of
Great Britain in the present seal con-
troversy, would be the last men on
either side Of the water to discover eth
er cringing or coercion as an element Of
the approaching settlement.
A thoughtful, intelligent analysis of
the whole situation can arrive at but one
grand conclusion upon the Gazettes
issus of disasters for both coun tries,
and that is that unless both nations shall
go mad the issue Of war must be for
ever an impossibility. The Grand Arch
itect of human government has probably

two great divisions Of the English
speaking family than that of mutual ex-

has successfully studied, until both al
most thoroughly understand about
everything that is known to enlightened
mankind, and yet they do not under
stand one another, but seriously pirate
about war and coercion just as If such
things were commonplace possibility.
Each country is necessary to the other,
and as events continue to shape the
policy of other lands upon questionable
if not, indeed. upon hostile lines, there
are shrewd observers who freely predict
that we may be forced to stand side by
side at no distant day for the preserva-
ton of the best that the world has ever
known upon the lines of humanity and
enlightenment.
