of the fourteen indictments still pending
against him, and the prosecutor says
he is confident of a. conviction and

The international Congress of
Women in Londonis said to be a failure
and an American woman in speaking
of the meeting said that it was mis-
managed. Three hundred leading
women from this country travelled all
the way to London and most of them
neyerlhadi chance to speak their little
piece. We can easily imagine the
wrath of some woman who had gone
5000 miles to air her hobby and then
found some other woman given the

q PRESIDENT ANGEIL, of Ann Arbor,
in speaking before the Convoeation of
the University of Chicago last Satur7
day on" The Old College and the n lew
University" said zone result was
sometimes attained in the old college
which is less easily secured in the great
university of the present day, a result
due MOTIF any superiority in organiza-
ton, but to the limited number in at
tendance. 1t was the powerful i'm
preston of a great teacher, when a
faculty was so fortunate as to have one,
on the minds and characters of the
great mass of the students. When
Elizabeth Mott, or Mark Hopkins, or
Francis Wayland had a class of only
thirtyor forty students in daily con
tact with him, the stamp of the teacher
was inefaceably set upon almost every
student, SO that the whole college took
on the shape and 5coloring Of his
mind" Allsthat Exchanged today, land
we are aiming at bigger results. Every
university-the old time college is dy-
ing out-wants to have the largest of
everything, the largest buildings, the
largest endowment, the largest attend
ance and the professors with the larg-
est reputation. And yet all these
things do not make up for the individ-
uaI influence of such men as Mott,
Hopkins and Wayland. We system
satize more today, and we. turn out
more machine made men from our
Institutions of learning, but they don't
take away with them any very strong
Impressions derived from the individual
contact with stronger personalities.

A BROOKLYN jury has decided that
it costs s., 075 to spank your neighbours
boy, having allowed that amount of
damages to the outraged parent. An
otherj jury sometime ago appraised the
actual value of boy Of the same age
as the Brooklyn boy at 1879, and al
lowed the parent that amount for the
loss of his boy in a railway accident.
The inference is that it is cheaper to
kill boy than to spank him. g

A THE plan to relieve the community
of New Richmond, by assessing the
counties in the State does not meet our
approval. We sympathize with those
persons who, have lost everything they
had gained by years of industry, but
we can never, believe that it is the duty
of. State to levy a tax to restore to
individuals what they have lost either
through failure in business or through
some natural disaster, as in the case of
New Richmond. =, If after the late
: panic State Lei islatures had appropri-
ated money TO set up again in business
the men who failed there would have
beenlan cutlery againstsuch appropria-
tions The sufferers in New Richmond
from cause that they could not an
ticipate are in the position of men who
have failed in business. They must
begin over again. But to appropriate
public money to rebuild New Richmond
would be an 'injudicious precedent.
Again. this idea of State relief, if gen
orally recognized, would tend to destroy
the spirit of generosity in suffering
Every one knowing that he would be
taxed to contribute to the aid OF the
sufferers would not give voluntarily fol
their immediate relief, and would leave
such matters to Legislatures. The
pluck and enterprise that built up New
Richmond will rebuild it, and in the

THERE is a great deal of talk about
our situation in the Philippines, and
some violent anti-expansionists are
condemning the war, and bemoaning
the loss of principle in depriving the
islanders of their country. To our
mind the situation is simple enough.
We have started in to subdue those
Filipinos and we are going to accom-
plfsh that before we listen to any solu
ton of the question of the government
of those islands, Even if we allow
them to govern themselves subsequent
ly we are going to show that we are
their masters and will give them what
we May determine may. be for their
final good. Surely the opponents OF
expansion would not have US withdraw
from the Philippines and acknowledge
that we were unable to quell the in
surrection. We should lose whatever
prestige we have acquired in the East
by Dewey's victory, and should dis
credit not only our own power, but. the
power of other nations that are en-
gagged in extending their influence over
uncivilized tribes. No. We are going
+. to subdue the Filipinos, and thesooner
they are convinced of our purpose the
better will it be for their country.

The people of Great Britain are not
so slow as the 5eute Yankee is apt to
suppose. III 1iie we have been deliber-
ating over she right course for us to
pursue in Cuba capitalists from Eng
land have bought up most Of what is
worth buying in the island, and if. we
undertake to police the country and
ensure a good government we shall be
doing it for the interests Of the bloody
Britisher". Englishmen have already
secured all the railroads and railroad
franchises and have bought from the
Spaniards the beet sugar and tobacco
estates: Perhaps it may be said that
American capital can find better in

believe that English capital would be
invested in Cuba if the capitalists did
not believe that the island afforded
