Tor the purpose of founding colony and

inlet and town started on at the mouth
Of the Copper river. From there to the
Klondike fields is but $50 miles, and Sur
veyor Lacey, of the United States corps,
1t is alleged, has assured the projectors of
the enterprise that it is much more desir-
able an entrance to the gold fields than any
other known routes. He says he has been
over it on foot. Mr.. Sherman was here to
have the Indiana Gold Mining Company
become interested in the San Francisco cor
poration AT meeting of the directors and
stockholders of the local concern held in

stockholders have decided that there is less
risk to run, with more chances of success
in the California enterprise. 1t is the pur-
pose of the last named to send one hundred

NOW OUT OF BOTH JOBS
PETER BISHOP, OF BEAR CREEK
TOWNSHIP, TOO AMBITIOUS.
Supreme Court Rules Him Out OF
mastership Other Courts.

Peter L. Bishop, who was the regularly
elected trustee of Bear Creek township, in
Jay county, appears to be suffering from an
eclipse of his star OF fortune. The office of
trustee was not enough for his ambition,
and. accordingly, when the postmastership
of the village of Bryant was rendered him
he accepted it without manifesting any
aeruples of modesty. The people of his
community, and, particularly the County
Commissioners, seriously objected to the
concentration of honors into the hands of a
few, and a suit was brought to Dust Mr.
Bishop from the trusteeship on the plea
that the state Constitution forbade the
holding of two lucrative offices by one
man.
The Jay Circuit Court found in favor of
the plaintiffs, and Mr. Bishop was declared
to have resigned from the trusteeship by
accepting the postmastership. The COM
missioners then took steps to appoint a
new trustee. Mr.. Bishop appealed to the
Supreme Court, and in the meantime re-
signed his office of postmaster. The SUI
preme Court handed down its decision yes
terday, the effect of which 1t seems is TO
leave the gentleman out in the cold alto
gether. The court reversed the lower
courts decision on the ground That the
prosecuting attorney had failed TO allege
that the office of postmaster pa1d more tnan
$50 q year, offices paying less than tnat
amount not being deemed lucrative by the
law. The court, however, proceeds TO say
that the acceptance of a second lucrative
office operates as ~ surrender OF the HrSt
office held, and that subsequent reslgna-
ton of the former cannot restore the officer
to the latter.

The first application gives instant relief and
the continued use for short time causes a

THE PRINCETON Inn.
What the Omcial Organ of Another
Presbyterian College Thinks.
TJarover Colleoian

1t looks to almost all the friends of coll
leges as If at Princeton very serious blum
der, or worse, has been committed in the
matter of the linn. OF course, it is wrong
to hold the college itself responsible exact
~ as IL would be for any action taken by
its board of trustees or its faculty There
may be incidental to the situation many
circumstances that can scarcely be appre-
ciated by people who are unfamiliar with
the surroundings. Probably there has been
gross exaggeration in the stories that have
been published concerning the drinking at
this inn. A reporter not accustomed TO the
noisy iollities of a lot of college students
would be almost sure to imagine more in
toxication than really existed. AS rule,
all the stories given out by the press con-
corning student misbehavior need to be dis
counted emo mously-
Yet. while in the spirit of fairness the
above concessions are made, the licensed
sale of intoXicants at the request of pro-
fessors and trustees, and with the consent
of silence by the rest of the college au-
thorities, cannot be successfully defended
before the mass of the American supporters
of colleges. The attitude is not the proper
one for any higher institutions of learning.
and pre-eminently not justifable at Prince
ton. Drink cannot wholly be excluded. and
possibly some students may drink less UNI
der the regulations at the inn than they
otherwise would do. But the end does not
Justify the means Probably. also, a good
many students learn to drink at the inn
who would not do so if no such place ex-
listed. AT any rate. unfiinching opposition
to she bar and the saloon is the only proper
attitude for the,authorities of any college.
rms great blunder is, no doubt, in part
an outgrowth of the so-called university
craze, which has seized upon so many of
our higher institutions. Freedom is the
catchword of the movement. and it is a
very good motto for a genuine university
of the German type. But the mass of the
students at Princeton and other American
universities are not old enough in years
or advanced enough in their work TO be left
free after the fashion of German universal
ties. They are mostly boys Just passing
government for them is that which appeals
most thoroughly to their nascent manhood
their youth must not be forgotten. A col
lege inn, with even the restrictions that
this Princeton house processes to throw
around its drinking arrangements, is no
place for them. Even in Germany large
part of them would be in the gymnasia
and German laws rigidly forbid such stu
dents TO frequent the drinking places.
When President McClosh led the move
ment which drove the saloon from Prince
ton he was far nearer the correct policy
than is the existing arrangement.
