DIR. ANDREWS RESIGNATION.
The London Chronicle Regards it as TIL
Most Serious Blow of the Capitalistic
Oligarchy.

London, July 2S.-The daily Chronicle
this morning devotes an editorial article
to the dismissal of e. Benjamin Andrews
from the presidency of Brown Universe
ty, which action it regards as the most
serious blow the capitalistic oligarchy
has yet struck at social, economic and in
tellectual liberty in America.
The Chronicle says: "There is nc doubt
that, like Prof Bemis, who was dismissed
from the University of Chicago, Presi-
dent Andrews was dismissed because he
warned his countrymen against the
growth of great monopoles.
1T seems certain that a conflict is APP
preaching that will shake the Union as it
was shaken by the great slavery questies,
1t looks as though the splendid millionaire
endowments of American universities
had the unworthy motive of the promo
ton of the interest of the mOnopolists.
We anticipate a great wave of opinion
against the pretensions Of the monopO-
lists as dangerous to free 1om.
This movement will lead to the sub
stitution Of public for private control and
ownership of the big trusts and m0nopc-
lies and the substitution of State for pri-
vate colleges and universities
