The Andrews Suppression

We have received copy Of the open
letter addressed to the corporation of
Brown University by twenty -four members
OF its faculty, protesting against the move
nent against Prof. Andrews which. as
our readers are aware, has resulted In
that gentlemAn's resignation.
The aEners OF the letter assert that
Prof. Andrews, far from standing in the
way OF the institutions financial interests,
positively has been its benefactor. The
income OF the university has doubled since
he became its president For the year
ending April 10, 1889, the total receipts
amounted to only SCI. o64, while for the
year ending April Is, 1897. they aggre-
gated S15e, 82S. The faculty regard this
as an excellent showing, considering the
hard times Of the past few years.
They observe with force and wisdom
that the financial view of the matter ought
TO be entirely subordinate TO other and
higher conceptions OF the work OF uni
yerslty education. "Eo one inquiries

Talking Down.

A bright woman once said that her hus-
bands friends seemed to gauge her mind
by the fTivolity of her dinner gown, and
confined their conversation To such mat
scope Her husband was famous states
man, and mis- guests Were men who had
the inside track of current events, but
their idea seemed to be that If they
talked OF what really Interested them In
her presence she would consider them
bores. On the contrary, she would much
have preferred that they talked COM
pleteiy over her head and let her under
stand as much as she could than that
they should talk down to her as IL she
were a bright child.
There is something in this, although the
wives of Statesmen do not always have
this complaint TO make, especially here in
Washington. The idea that people-men,
women or children must be talked down to
is still more prevalent than il should be

teacher To arrive at a conclusion which the
pupil has reached long ago Ii is oc-
casionsIly said that one must use kinder
gartcn methods with the masses; but half
the methods OF the Kindergarten consist
in teaching children In the simplest words
things which fifty years ago would have
been cons dered beyond comprehension.
Parallels might be called a sort Of kinder
garten method. but, after all, parab
is one Of the highest forms of literature.
There are people who seem to think it
necessary to talk and write down when
they are dealing with the masses of the
people, as they phrase it. One thing which
fosters this deiusion IS that the one-dollar
man or woman buys a ten-cent book, be
cause that is the only thing possibleon such
AN income, and If the ten-cent books are
trash, the one-doIIar people will read trash
or nothing. Also, If the ten-cent books are
on sale at every bookstore, and the dollar
book at only one or two special places,
there are those Who do not have the time
to hunt for the best, and they take what
they can get.

MORE INsoLENCE FROM AMERICA

As TO the GOWN Butchery,

One OF cur Havana dispatches yester-
day announced that the material witness
70 the bUtehery Of young Gown, the cor
Respondent who was hacked in pieces with
Inachetes by the Spanish soldiers, had been
sentenced to life imprisonment at Ceuta,
presumably TO get him ut Of the way. Gen.
Lee has protested, of course, but it is not
likely that protests viii be Of much avail.
Weyier cannot wen afford to let light fall
upon this or other atrodOus murders Of
American citizens, and it need not surprise
anyone if the witness in the case should
disappear.
At time when the President seems to
be on the point Of assuming a better and
more patriotic attitude in connection with
foreign affairs, we do not care further to
animadvert upon our past disgracein Cuba.
On the other hand, we must venture TO
express the hope that Mr.. Mckinley win
not much longer delay the liberation Of our
citizens still confined in WeyIer's dun
geons; and we are afraid that this cannot
be accomplished without a show Of naval
force in the harbor Of Havana.
We fear delay, because the situation in
Cuba approa cires terrible crisis. AS re-
peatedly We have Urged upon our national
authorities, in the event that Gen. Gomez
should attack Havana in force, there are
the guavest reasons for believing that
Weyler would massacre every prisoner, and
that, whether at his instance or otherwise,
the Spanish volunteers and jafIbird guer-
riIlas would murder every American that
they could lay their bloody hands upon.
This Government should not be taking

son July 1 1 $685. said an Army officer
at the -Ebbitt last evening, Philip H.
Sheridan Win report as a candidate for
cadetship at the Military Academy at West
Point. He has been appointed by President
Mckinley as testimonial OF the strong
affection existing between himself and the
father OF the Candidate. It is especially
fitting that young Sheridan should enter
West Point at that time. Fifty years ago
on j ly 1913, his father stepped off the
little ferry which runs between Garri-
sons and West Point. In the second year
at the academy, while on the parade ground
one afternoon, an upper classfnau spoke
TO him in rather naughty manner, With
of the ranks, calmly laid down his arms
and politely stretched tire impertinsnt ser
geant on the drill ground
He was court -rlartialed and suspended
for one year. This accounts for his grad
uatiou with the class OF 1853 instead OF
1852. Mcpherson, SchofieId, Hood and
others who attained prominence in the
civil war, were members OF the class OF
1853. Young Phil, a he is called, re-
sembles his father in many ways. He Is
inclined 70 be short and stout, is generous
and possesses all the pugnacious traits OF
his father when his Ire is crossed. He is
good student and shows an aptitude
for scientific studies. He has been care
fully trained under the watchful eye of
his mother, and his friends predict bril-
liant career for him at his fathers alma
mater"
