"he Building of Endowed Universities
Must Be Checked.
Inc London Chronicle, referring to
The forced resignation of President An
drews of Brown University, says:
There is no doubt that, like Prof.
Bemis, who was dismissed from the
University of Chicago, President An
dreWs was dismissed because he
warned his countrymen against the
great m~onopolies. 1t seems certain
that a conflict is approaching that will
shake the Union as it was shaken by
the great slavery question. 1t looks
as though the splendid millionaire en-
dowments of American universities had
the unworthy motive of the promotion
OF the interests of the monopolies. We
anticipate a great wave Of opinion
against the ~pretension of the mo-
nopolist class as dangerous to free
dom. This movement will lead to the
substitution of public for private con-
troll and ownership of the big trusts
and monopolies and the substitution of
state for private colleges and universi-
ties"
The foregoing is in line with a most
rapid change in public opinion.
Last January DR.. David Starr Jor-
dan, although president of Stanford
university, an endowed institution,
came out squarely against endowed
universities. In an article in the Fo-
rum entitled "The Urgent Need of a
National University" he said: "The
great revival of learning in the United
States, which has shown itself in the
growth of universities, in the rise of
the spirit of investigation, and in the
realization Of the value of truth, can
be traced in large degree to Germanic
influences. These influences have
not come to us through German immi-
grafton, or the presence of German
scholars among us, but through the
experience of American scholars in
Germany. If it be true, as Mr.. James
Bryce says, that of all institutions in
America the universities have the
best promise for the FUTURE we have
Germany to thank for this. It is,
however, no abstract Germany that we
may thank. but a concrete fact. It is
the existence in Germany of UNIVERSE
ties, strong, effective, AND FREE, and
most notable among these is the
youngest of their number, the unsver-
sity Of Berlin. = + =

ALTGELD HITS HARD.
MAKES VITAL PUNCTURES IN
PROSPERITY" WIND BAGS.
Tells the New York Herald Why the
Price OF Wheat Has Gene ~Up-short-
age OF Crops and klondykc Dor
Still Suffering for Want OF Work.

HX-Gov. Altgeld accurately analyses
the present situation in a letter to the
New York Herald:
The American people know that
while the wheat crop is phenomenally
large IN our country, it is a failure in
he South American and European
countries, SO that there must come a
kind of wheat famine. and that conse-
quently the farmer should get more
than $3.50 for his wheat, and would get
that under the financial system which
formerly prevailed in the world so that
ne is even now suffering a wrong
caused by legislation.
The average price of all other com
modities known to the worlds mar
kets has been steadily falling, and sill
yer, whose uses have been restricted
by legislation, has simply kept pace
with the other commodities. as shown
by the London markets. In our coun-
try the price of corn and most of the
other farm products is so low as not
to pay the actual cost of production.
The present advance in wheat, being
due to a temporary cause, cannot give
general or lasting prosperity; besides,
only a small portion of the farmers of
America raises wheat.
Should the Klondike country or any
other country, SO greatly increase the
volume of the worlds none as to pro-
duce prosperity, it would be a demon
stratlon of the correctness of the posi-
ton that an increase in the volume If
money gives prosperity, while a reduc-
ton in the quantity of money produces
paralysis.
The country has now enjoyed more
than nine months of restored conf
dence,' and as a result the great cotton
mills of New England have shut down
because they could not sell their prod
ucts; the coal miners of America are
on a strike against hunger and against
nakedness, and the Chicago City Rail
way Company, which last winter helped
to debauch the legislature of Illinois
and got advantages worth millions of
dollars, has just given notice to it's
men of a reduction in wages.
THE condition of the debtors and
honest toilers is getting steadily worse.
congress has just given the Sugar
+ a year tribute in excess of what
they formerly got from the sweat Of
American industries in order that
these patriots may not amass fortunes
themselves, but may contribute mil
lions to carry elections.
The newspapers are persistently
calling this prosperity, but the Ameri-
can people are not fooled by it.
Nearly all of the events since the
election have tended to show that the
gold standard campaign was a colossal
fraud, managed by the INSCRIPTIONS
agents Of the trusts"

"In the Divine economy 1 don't think
it is lawful or morally right to exclude
any man or class of men from the full
enjoyment of light and heat or the
means necessary and proper for the
support of himself and those depend
ent upon him.
God never intended that any man
or class of men, should monopolize the

men should have a monopoly of these
great agencies of life, necessary to hui
man existence, to the exclusion OF all

If a monopoly of the soil of the earth

material elements Of the earth, or any

a look back with pleasure. I must
write of that Wretched time, but I will
make it's record as short as possible.
Nevertheless, l will be candid, and
show myself in as bad a light as truth
compels. l do not seek to excuse my
self by saying that many another in my
place would have acted as I acted. I
hope there are few in the world who
have passed through such grief and
shame as mine.
At first, without for the moment los
ing sight of the vengeance I meant to
take on the traitor, Eustace Grant, 1
set myself the task of forgetting the
false m who had fled from my side.
| vowed l would destroy the love l bore
her and learn to look upon her with
scorn and contempt, as the basest of her
sex. If the thought of suing for a d.
vGrce entered my head I banished it at
once. I cared not to resume my free
dom. So long as I was bound to n
woman, there was no chance of my be-
ing cajoled and deceived by another, if
ever I could be fool enough to love and
trust another woman as 1 had loved
and trusted Viola.
Besides, ] shrunk from the exposure;
1 shrunk from the thought of being
made a public laughing stock, as a man
whose wife had left him a fortnight after
her marriage. No; I would teach N.Y.
self to scorn, loathe, forget her-that
was all.
But how to forget? If I cursed her
by day, I dreamed of her by night. Then
she came to me, sweet and pure as 1
thought her on the day when I made
her my wife. I saw her soft eyes, her
graceful form; I heard her fresh young
loving voice, and in my dreams was
happy, for I could never dream evil of
her. But again and again, when 1
awoke, and remembered what she now
was, I sobbed as few strong men permit
themselves to sob, and then only in the
dead of night, when none can hear or
see them.
I would forget! T swore I would for

plunged into a whirl Of fierce dissipa-
ton. I became to all appearance the
most reckless of a reckless set. I

the area of any now existing power.
The treaty OF peace, after this bloody
war for the principle just stated is
over, expressly renounees it and tears
it to bits. Greece was not permitted
to annex Crete. Turkey is allowed to
make a virtual addition of the Greek
province of Thessaly to her dominion.
By this treaty the Turks are not oblig-
ed to evaeuate Thessaly until an inter
national financial commission shall re-
port that Greece has fulfilled all the
conditions of the treaty, including the
demand of vast cash indemnity; and,
even then, if single one of the six
powers refuses to approve the commits
sion's report, nothing can be done.
Everybody knows where Germany
will stand. She has been the secret
ally and instigator of Turkey through
out, and the sultans troops will never
move out of Thessaly until Germany,
as we'll as Turkey, has been coerced by
the arms of Europe. Therefore, the
net result of the interference of the
powers is not, as was asserted, to pre-
serve the integrity of the Ottoman en-
pire. 1t has been to add to the terri
tory of that empire the fair province
of Thessaly, and to reduce both the
territory of Greece and it's position in
Europe to practical nonentity for the
sake of Turkish ACKNOWLEDGMENT. Small
wonder it is that Mr.. Gladstone has
been aroused once more to an indict-
ment of this policy of shame and blood
The world will agree that he has stated
but fairly and moderately the situation
in words that have something of his old
intensity of earnestness and power:
The pain, shame and mischief of the last
two years in the Eastern policy transcend
use concerning them. The sum is this:
''Firstly-A hundred thousand Armenians
have been slaughtered with no security against
a repetition and with greater profit to the
assassins.
''Secondly-Turkey is stronger than at any
time since the Crimean war.
'Thirdly-GTeece is weaker than at any
time since she became a kingdom.
'Fourthly-AlI this is due to the European
concert, that is the mutual hatred and dis
trust of the powers.

THE NATIONAL GAME.

Base ball is still the national game.
Golf, cricket and tennis have all had an
inning some time during the season
just closing; but the great interest
among lovers of athletics has been for
the game which America has developed
and at which America can beat the
world. The sensational finish in the
National league has, in some meas
ure, created an artificial interest just
as would an unusually close contest
in any other branch of sport; but the
tremendous crowds that witnessed the
deciding games and the attention paid
by the general public to the outcome
prove that a good share of the en-
thusiasm was only developed and not
created by the unusual conditions
With the history of the last ten days
in mind, it can be stated safely that
base ball is not on the wane 1t closes
the season of 1897 more popular than
the great and characteristic national
pastime.
The closing series of games has done
something more than afford the fans
a chance to cheer or weep. The charge
has been made that brutality was slow
ly growing to be feature of the game
it could be eliminated. Numerous fis-
tic affrays on the diamond during the
course of the summer gave some color
to this charge, but the decisive con-
test between Boston and Baltimore eff
fectuaily disproved that such unpleas-
antnesses are a necessity. With more
at stake for the clubs and for the in
dividual players than in any base ball
games ever before played, there was
not, so far as the Geographic accounts
of the series show, any display of Ill
nature. 1t was good, clean, hard, gen
tlemanly ball, in which both sides
played to win, but played fairly. Base
ball can be conducted without rowdy
ism or brutality, as a test under the
most trying conditions has proved.
Assured that such features can be
eliminated, the public is likely to insist
that they be conspicuous by their alb
Sence in future.
1t appears that the best club has won
title to the championship is unclouded
The friends of the fallen heroes were
the first to cheer the coming cham
pions. The season closes with an
abundance of enthusiasm and good ma
ture, and with the prospects for the
coming year brighter than ever before.
The publics toast to the departing
base ball year is Till we meet again"

THE TREASURY AND THE An
VANCE AGENT

we feel constrained to call attention,
once more to the remarkable treasury
statement for the month of Sente,,
Der. We understand, from the n,ost
reliable Republican sources tba+
prosperity is here There is NO
doubt about it now; there is no more
reason for postponement of the good
times, and we have a right to exnec,
the realization of conditions predicted
by Republicans to express itself in the
financial condition of the nation. The
explanation that revenue is deficient
because of increased importations in
expectation of the new tariff going into
effect is also getting to be out of date.
The month of September is, in most re-
spects, a reasonably fair test There
was less revenue from sugar and less
from wool, probably, than there will
be later on, but the difference is not
great enough to affect the statement
seriously. Notwithstanding this, we
find that the official statement exhibits
an excess of expenditures over re-
ceipts for the last month alone of 3d.
435.717. This is the deficit for a month S
fair working of the Dingley bill. For
the three months of the fiscal year
which have now expired. the deficit IS
