KEEP THE FACTS III MIND.

When DR.. e. Benjamin Andrews ten
dered his resignation as president of
Brown university there was no paper
in all the country that more loudly ap-
plauded the corporation of the uniyer-
stty for its course than did the New
York Evening Post. 1t had 10 kind
words for President Andrews. no harsh
or disappearing ones for the corpora
ton. Such being the case, it is some
what interesting TO note the manner in
which the Post comments on the re-
quest Of the corporation that DR.. AN
drews withdraw his resignation.
The Post says the troubles in Brown
university have been settled. tempo
rarily If not permanently, by the with
drawal of President Andrews resigna-
ton In other words, the situation
which Mr.. Andrews himself created has
been cured by his own act a refer
ence to the correspondence of July 16,
which was given to the press on the
23rd Of the same month, shows that the
corporation on the former date made a
communication touching his promulga
ton of views favorable TO the free coin
age Of silver, showing that it was
harmful to the pecuniary interests of
the institution. No thought of, chang
ing or modifying his views on that sub
ject Was entertained, but on the con-
trary, was expressly disclainled- Mr..
Andrews replied that since his freedom
OF utterance was curtailed by the sug-
gestion made to him by the trustees,
he could not remain president of the
university, and accordingly he rendered
his resignation What follows is a re-
quest from the trustees that Mr.. An
drews should withdraw his resig

MARRYING FOR PENSIONS.

When a young girl nlarries an gid
man who has a million dollars all the
world knows that she marries him for
his money and for no other reason; she
may be very mercenary and lacking in
refinement in its true sense and in pro-
priety but were she to marry an old
man who had no fortune the world
would say she must be daft. But there
are young girls who marry old men
who have no fortunes, and still have
mercenary motives. These are the
young girls who marry old soldiers
who are drawing pensions from the
government. They hope to enjoy the
pension when the old soldiers die the
same as the young girl who marries
the millionaire expects to enjoy his
fortune when he is dead. This scandal
of young girls marrying old soldiers for
the sake of their pension, for it IS moth
ing else. is beginning to attract atten-
ton in those quarters where a protest
against it will be needed by the whole
nation Commissioner Of Pensions
Evans is on record. as saying:
[ think congress should take prompt
action in preventing multiplication Of
pensions through the marriage of old
soldiers. a good many people think
that the prospective pension as q
widow of a soldier is enough TO cause
many young girls to marry aged men
for whom they care nothing except TO
have pension for the balance of their
lives. It seems to me the practice is a
bad one, and L hope congress win take
this matter in hand and pass legisla-
ton to prevent a pension being given
widows OF soldiers of the last war who
marry the soldiers in the future. In
stances have been reported to the bu-
reau of pensions which show that
women have married pensioners on
their death beds in order that a widow S
pension might be secured.
There are still several widows of
revolutionary soldiers who are re-
ceiving pensions. while it is not at all
improbable that the end of the TWEEN
tieth century will see widows of civil
war soldiers drawing pensions.
If there is any way by which con-
gress, through legislative action, can
prevent the requirement of pensions by
young women who simply marry old
soldiers for the sake of securing them.
it should do it, Such widows are
frauds and cheats.

TIE CITY ELECTION.


The city election this fall is a very
important one. and it is a good sign
that the people are already much in
terested in It. The chief issue involved
is that Of honest and economical gov
eminent against incompetent and ex-
trayagant government. Many citizens
are Of the opinion that honest and
economical city government cannot be
had through partisan government. The
only ground they have on which to base
such an opinion is that the present Re
publican government has failed They
certainly show small faith in party

the field, and it viii be the first one

party can and should put up, it will

That which will appeal most to them
viii be men, and those who are engi-
neering the non-partisan movement ex-
pect their ticket to derive its strength
from the men whom they name for
office. Hence the necessity for the Dem
ocrats to put up the very best snen they
have. To make sure this viii be done,
all the members Of the party who pos
sibly can should attend the primaries
and see that good men and women are
sent to the convention. men and women
who are looking for the very best men

pledged TO this or that candidate. If
this is done. a frst-class ticket viii be
named, such a ticket as viii command
the respect and support Of the people.
Democrats should not ignore the non
partisan movement. 1t is almost GER
tain to have the support of the Re-
pubiicans and much Of What may be
called the mugwump vote. It may or
1t may not be formidable, but it has

cations; they will insist that he must

TO OPPOSE DEBs.

A meeting of railway employees was
held in Chicago Sunday to perfect a
branch organization of the American
Railway league 1t will oppose the
teachings of Debs and all that that i'm
plies. Grand President r. S. Taylor Of
Ohio presided at the meeting. He said
there was nothing secret or mysterious
about the organization5 that il was
simply the outgrowth of increasing in
telhgenee among the employees of rail-
roads; that they had learned that it
was more to their advantage to CO.
operate with the men who are paying
them wages than to oppose them at
every turn. This is very sensible talk
and if lived up to would do very much
to improve the relations existing be-
tween railroad employees and their en-
ployers; and applied TO all other occu-
pations il would have the same effect.
There is no doubt but that in the great
corporations there has been much an
tagonisTM between employers and en-
pIoyees. and much which could have
been avoided. Employers have too
often been quite as blind to the fact
that the success of their business was
dependent upon their employees as the
latter have that their own success as
wage earners was dependent upon the
former. An employer cannot grind
down those who work for him and not
get their enmity and i'll viii any more
than they can take advantage of his
necessities at times and retain his good
viii.
There is no doubt that the ma
Jority of the great corporations regard
men as mere instruments to carry out
their schemes and to be treated as
mere instruments whenever they are
no longer in need of them It is this
treatment and the spirit behind it that
has done to much to beget i'll feelings
towards the corporations and large en-
ploying class on the part of the work
ing men than anything else.
This new organization is to oppose
Debs. That is all very good, but it has
one inherently fatal defect; that is the
intention TO take a hand in politics.
The moment that is done political
methods viii be introduced, and poIiti-
clans will try TO use it; and they will
meet With more or less success And
then the organization that is to fight
Debs and his ways will be no better
than they.

As we understand it, Dr. Andrews
has the matter of Withdrawing his
resignation merely under consideration.
That the university was at fault in the
matter is shown by the open letter from
the members of the faculty, the pro-
tests of the most eminent university
presidents of the country, the letter of
ex-secretary of State OlneY, and the
letter of the coplmittee Of the corpora
ton to DR.. Andrews, That letter, dig
nified and in courteous language, of
course said in plain terms that the
members of the committee "signifed a
wish for a change in only one particu-
lar. having reference to his views upon
a question which constituted a leading
issue in the recent presidential election,
and which is still predominant in ma
tional politics, that Of the free coinage
of silver as legal tender at a ratio of
sixteen ounces Of silver TO one of gold.
1t was futher said that these views
were 80 contrary to the views gener-
ally held by the friends of the univer-
sity that the university had already
lost gifts and legacies which otherwise
would have come or have been assured
to it, and that without change it would
in the future fail to receive the pecun-
larry support which is requisite to
prosecute with success the grand work
in which it has entered
That was the head and front Of the
corporation of Browns offending; and
while it is a matter of CONCENTRATION
that the corporation has receded from
its position and requested DR.. Andrews
to withdraw his resignation. still it is

are in mind when discussing the case.
