Sublime ~Impudence.

There have been some queer meetin gs In
the Cooper Union, but the meeting which
10 to be held there next Friday night will
be the queerest Of all. 1t will be "a mass
meeting Of Republicans" and its object Is
"to enter . protest against the effort the
Republican machine is making to turn the
city Government Of Greater New York over
70 Tammany Hall"
The offence Of the Republican machine
against which protest is to be made by the
pretended Republicans" who are expected
20 exhibit themselves in the Cooper Union
Consists In loyalty maintaining Republican
principles, resolving to make a square fight
against the sinister forces Of the Organized
Democratic party, and refusing to accept
the p%retentious candidate n the narrow
and artificial "local" issues, or rather false
issues, presented by q close corporation Of
Mugwumps, sentimentalists, and fanatics,
whose avowed purpose is to smash the Re-
publican party In this city.
II the city is to be put into the power
Of Tammany Hall, the persons responsible
arc tho persons who refuse to help the Re-
publican party, the only powerful opponent
of Tammany Hall, to beat it.
The notion Of calling q public meeting
for the purpose Of reproving the Republican
organization hero for being Republican is
sublimely impudent, and therefore worthy

coys will figure as Republicans" at the
Friday night show.

Tho Debt Of Columbia University.

An attempt has been made by an inconsid-
cradle and intellectually feeble evening
newspaper to answer the damaging facts
recently presented by THE Sun showing
the incompetency Of Mr.. SETH Lows ad.
ministration of Columbia University.
We pointed out specifically that since his
Induction into its Presidency, in 1890, It
has become a college with the greatest debt
Of any In America. We put the amount Of
the debt at So, DOC. Actually Colum.
bias debt is $3, 900, 00O.
The absurd answer Of the evening news.
paper is that the trustees incurred that
enormous and urheard-of debt for a college
rather than sell securities bringing In more
interest than the money could be borrowed
at, and that therefore it was good business
policy. Undoubtedly It was good business
policy not to sacrifice interest in that way,
but how about the policy Of going into
debt for the So, 0,0007 The interest on
the debt must be paid out of the productive
investments of the university, and by its
great amount the income available for pur-
poses Of education is diminished; and that
Is What we said.
A university, which had seven years ago
the richest unencumbered and productive
endowment In America. has been loaded
with debt Of $3,oOO,o0O for the interest
Of which there Is a heavy and constant
drain on the income Of the institution, all
Of which Is requisite to carry out its plans
Of education. Whatever amount is diverted
to paying the interest on the debt is di.
verted from its true and valuable purpose
and the debt is q debt. The university
owes the money.
The consequence, as many sagacious
friends of Columbia now foresee with
alarm, is that the university will eventu-
ally be forced to beg for money to preserve
Its solvency and enable 1t to carry on the
new schemes Of university development 1t
has now entered upon. These cause a heavy
drain upon an income already seriously
reduced by the interest on the debt Of
So, 900, 900.
This is not a cheerful outlook for Colum-
bia University at a time when its Presi-
lent proposes to abandon 1t in the interests
Of his political ambitions, leaving it to
struggle as best 1t may with the grave
financial difficulties into which his admin
istration of its Presidency has plunged it.
When Mr.. Low begins his campaign as a
disturbing political factor, a central fea-
ture of the discussion 1t will provoke will
be Columbia University and his manage.

and will be so regarded everywhere.
Whoever wishes to maintain the Republi.
can party in power and to prevent it from
being dangerously weakened before its
second contest with the Bryan forces in

can candidates here in November.
Whoever votes for the Tammany or the

downfall Of the national Republican party.

Bosses.

Some Of the sorehead Republicans of the
Brookfeld typo are talking about the
splurge of the Citizens Union as "a contest
of tho people against the bosses" Mr..
BRooKTIELD himself has tried to be a boss,
and has not succeeded. The Republican
voters would not have him. If Mr.. PLArT
or any other Republican leader or "boss"
became unsatisfactory to a majority Of the
Republican voters here, his leadership or
bosship would end at once. The case Is
the same with the Tammany leaders or
bosses. Both the Republican leaders and
the Democratic leaders rave got to repre-
bent the majority of their followers or they
will DO put down and out.

body to depose them. They have no con-
stituency. They are not obliged at any
time to consider the desires or the inter
ests of followers, for they have no regular
body of followers.
These men, some Of them the rejected In
capables of Republicanism, some of them
the vagrant amateurs of every new fantasy
of municipal politics, all Of them without
successful political experience and without
popular support or even an appreciation of
popular feeling, now pretend to be the
people, and try to have their grab for noto-
fiety and their hopeless grab for power re-
garded as q struggle of the people against
the bosses. They are bosses themselves,
and bosses of a strange sort, without a hold
upon the people. and without anything to
boss but o toy campaign.

On tho Afghan Frontier.

The extent of the preparations made by
the British Government to suppress the
rising Of the Afridis and other tribes in
habiting the neutral territory between
British India and the Afghan frontier,
leaves little doubt that the end of the pres
emit troubles will bring the Indian frontier
mp to that of Afghanistan. The forward
party In the Government of India has
long desired to effect this object, but the
policy of the Liberal party in England has
been steadfastly opposed to any movement
that would give the Russian Government a
pretext for coming down Upon Afghanistan
from the northwest, and threatening the
extension Of English territorial influence
through Beluchistan into southeastern
Persia. The tenure Of power in England
by a Conservative Government anxious to
find easy compensations for serious rebuffs
In other directions has, however, come at
an opportune moment for the accomplish
ment of designs that have only been de.
ferred, not abandoned.

reliance being apparently placed on the

obvious. 1t being among them that the
anti EngliAh agitation has been actively
carried on. Although the participation OF

emissaries, In this agitation Is disclaimed

ably sufficient evidence to justify them in

doubtful, however, whether ABDURRAHMAN

frontier 1t will meet a formidable force

Persons in touch with the affairs Of the Amer-

sions are inclined to the belief that the next
President Of tho organization, to be elected at
the annual meeting at New Haven, Conn.,, in
October, as the successor TO the Rev. DR. Rich.
ard s. Storrs. will be a layman. Ifsuch shall be
the fact the traditions Of the society, the oldest
OF Its kind in America, will havo been set aside,
for hitherto none other than an ordained min
lister Of the Gospel has held the post of President
The principal reason for the proposed change
is that no clergyman is Mt present available who
would make a worthy successor to DR.. Storrs.
Among those prominently mentioned for tho
office is the Hon. David A. Brewer. Associate
Justice Of tho Supreme Court Of the United
States, who is recognized q one Of tho pillars of
Congregationalism throughout the country.

the whole revolution may not be over

The loss of Quezaltenango, which was ex.
