College Professors and FREQ Speech,


Liberty of speech is so precious that
congress is forbidden by the constitu-
ton to abridge it, and such arrests as
are common in Germany for lese ma
jeste are impossible here. There is
danger, however, Of carrying this free
dom too far. Il believe IN free speech"
said the duke of Wellington, but not
on board man-of-war," and absti-
nence from ill-timed speech has given
Gen. de Gallifet, the new war minister
of France, the appropriate nickname
of lie Grand Muet. The trustees of the
University OF Chicago not long since
considered the desirability of restrain
ing its professors from undue loquaci-
ty" about controverted public matters.
While the decision was unequivocally
against such restriction, the question
raised deserves consideration, for the
college as an institution has rights, as
we'll rs the teachers within it's gates.
The minister in his pulpit has legal
right to free speech; but when his
opinions misrepresent the principles OF
his sect, he has other rights than his
own to consider. When a professors
pronounced statements are credited
against the university of which he is a
part, his liberty OF speech is moral
wrong, which his manliness should
condemn and his conscience restrain.

Paul, but all things are not expedi-

Money and Maria gex.

From the Providence Journal: Is 1t
lack of money that keeps men from
marrying? This is the reason often
advanced, and 1t seems to be justified
by the recent episode at Chicago, where
fifty couples rushed to take advantage
of free performance of the ceremony
how they We're to live afterward evil
IDENTIFY being less important matter.
Perhaps it is only in the higher walks
of life that the blessed estate of holy
matrimony is avoided on financial
grounds. Society demands more and
more of those who belong to it, and
young men in moderate circumstances
dread the burden OF a wife and family
preferring their own selfish pleasure.
This may be deplorable, but 1t is hard
ly strange.

The Cat and the Coon.

''One of the strangest cases OF AMI

said Baronne street business man,
may be seen at big machine shop
out on Bayou st. John. A few weeks
ago the engineer caught a good-slzed
coon-I mean a coon of the four-leg-
ged variety-prowling around the loft.

knows, and at first he showed fight

establishment. Tom is monstrous
black and white feline, and such tai

licked full grown dogs. The hrst
time he met the coon there was paI-
tie royal, which impartial spectators
declare was a draw. At any rate, 1t
must have given the pair mutual re-

fensive alliance against all other cats

present they sleep curled up in one
furry ball, eat out Of the same dish
and play together like couple OF

A Kind-Hearted Gander.

Ny grandfather had Swan river

the house, and had consequently at.
tached himself to the members OF the
family; so much so that. on seeing any
OF them at distance, he would run
to meet them, with all possible demon
STATIONS OF delight. But Swanny was
quite an outcast from his own tribe
and as often as he made humble over
lures to lue other geese, so often was
he driven away with great contempt
and on such occasions he would fire..
quently run to some Of his human
friends, and, laying his head on theil
lap, seem to seek for sympathy. At
last, however, he found friend among
his own species. An old gray goose,
becoming blind, was also discarded by
her more fortunate companions, and
swanny lost no opportunity of recog-
nizing this comrade in distress. He at
once took her under his protection and
led her about. When he considered 1t

gently take her neck in his beak and
thus lead her, sometimes a great dis

hers. and so turning her to conven-

its body and carefully raise it to the
level ground.

One striking characteristic Of the
admiral Is the readiness with which he
meets every emergency, says Leslie's
Weekly. He is resourceful as well as
prompt in action. An illustration OF
this occurred during cruise which
Dewey took after the civil war, In the
Mediterranean, on the old ship Canaan
daigua. The war fever had died out.
and men frequently deserted. On men,
of-war, boats cannot be lowered with

Three Great Men.

proud. Il saw lots of people, an the
parade-an' President Cleveland" he
exclaimed, strutting up and down the
room, with his hands in his pockets.
Its nice to he great man, isn't it,
mamma?" Posy remarked. Its
good thing to be a great man, but
great thing to be good man.
mamma quoted. and she added, Il once
saw three great men together"
"On PLATFORM" said Posy, eagerly.
Yes, on the platform Of car" smil-
ing. When l was little girl had
brother, who was the only boy in the
family, and he was years old before
name was found for him. Then
father decided that he should be named
for the great general who had just
taken Richmond and helped end the
cruel war. So Grant was his name.
Privately my brother informed me that
he wanted to be called Farragut, for
he was an admirer of the brave ad-
miral. Well, there came day when
special train was to go through our
town, and everybody went down to the
station. l carried bouquet OF mig
nonette and sweet peas which Brother
Grant and I thought nice enough to
present to any great man. BY and by
there was far away whistle, then the
train steamed into view. Cannon were
fired, and the crowd hurrahed. There
were SO many people pushing and jost-
ling. such an array OF soldiers in blue
uniforms, that Grant and I couldn't
see much until we climbed on g hand
