Is the so called spirit of philanthropy
and magnanimity that has resulted IN
the rich endowment of educational
institutions by mu1ti-mi1lionaires go
ing to react and create menace to
the free character of the schools OF this
country? Is the founding of school,
or the endowment of an institution of
learning, going to create one man
power in the educational system of the
country that will hold our large col
1eges and universities subservient to
the will and the interests of those who
have founded or endowed such institu-
tons? Such a state of affairs would
be most inca1cu1ab1e disaster both to
our educational system and to our ma
tiona1 life. Still the recent events at
Stanford would indicate such possi-
bi1ity, as experiences have in the past
indicated as to Chicago University.
Last November DR.. Ross, of Stan
ford, ventured to criticise certain
methods employed by great corpora
ton in San Francisco as an instance
of current economic wrongs. AS re-
suit, a benefactor of the university,
who is interested in the said corpora
ton. secured the dismissal of DR.. Ross
for thus freely expressing himself on
the question. The enforced resigna-
ton of DIR. Ross has been followed by
the resignation of several other pro-
fessors in the University who take this
way of showing their disapproyal OF
the manifest rebuke to free speech. It
is even likely that stampede may
follow, as the faculty of the institution
are generally aroused to a feeling of
serious protest against such abuse OF
the traditional rights and duties OF
educators.
The learned gentlemen, who are thus
forced by their self respect to sever
their connection with an institution
that seeks to coerce them into puppet-
like obedience to a controlling will, are
assured the sympathy and support Of
every citizen interested in the preser-
walton of the sanctity of freedom of
speech and especially of the free liberal
and unpre judiced nature of our insti-
tutions of higher learning.

In commenting on an editorial IN the
Philadelphia Ledger relative to the re-
sponsibility for the maladm1n1strat1on
of our large cities, the Milwaukee Sen
tine1 asks the rather striking ques-
tion. care our best citizens really our
worst citizens?"
Maybe the Sentinel would have been
a little more accurate if it had asked
care our best men really our worst
citizens?'' Our best citizens are not
our worst citizens, but it is only TOO
true that our best men are generally
ourworst citizens. Their fault is IN
the fact that they allow of a dist1nc-
ton between themselves as individuals
and themselves as scitizens OF the
United States, or the citizens of this or
that particular town or city. 0Iney
have been the cause of building up
in this country three general classes
those who are citizens in every sense
Of the word, those who are merely citl-
zens, and those who are all best citizens.
The first class fully appreciate both
the privileges and responsibilities OF
United States citizenship and are zeal
Gus and conscientious in the exercise
of their powers; the secondi class use
their power of citizenship for all 1t is
worth in self interest; md the last
class, while enjoying all the privileges
of United States citizenship, a cept
none of its responsibilities and neglect
al1its duties. These men are guilty OF
an a1oofness from political duty, city,
state and national, and a depreciation
Of citizenship that are far worse in their
results than purely selfish citizenship.
In municipal elections, especially, are
the first two classes left to fight it out
alone. It is the unfortunate fact that
the good men, who are likewise active
citizens. are far too few in number to
contend successfully with those who
are as fully awake to the privileges OF
the ballot, but less scrupulous IN their
use of it.. The ma1administration that
results in small, as we'll as large cities,
IS not to be wondered at, under the Cir
cunstances, and it becomes impossible
to place the blame elsewhere than up
on. those who, though they complain
loudly of corrupt administration, and
are fully able to correct the evil, are
not sufficiently interested to throw
their weight into the balance against
the vicious vote that has controlled the
elections and the city administrations
previously.

PUB11c sentiment is a tickle and or

PUBLIC sentiment is a tickle and pre-
carious thing. The man who is cour-
az eous enough to hitch his wagon to it
is undertaking a hazardous venture.
He is almost sure to land in obscurity,
but whether he will glide into it softly
and without much of jolt, or whether
he will be dropped into it from some
dizzy height, is the question that
haunts the mind of the thoughtful as
pirant for public favor. America is
the land where public sentimentreigns
supreme, and Americas list of fallen
heroes is 9. long one. Whom it would
destroy it first makes mad. What of
the men who were elected Governors
two or four or six years ago; what of
the retiring Senators and Congress
men; what of the ex-Presidents; and
what of our Deweys and our Hobsons
aud the rest? To the American citizen
who bankers after popularity, when he
dwe11s on these sad instances, visions
will rise that give him pause.

Richard Mansfield has come to Chi
cago in the character of Henry V.
Suppose the situation were reversed
and Henry V were to come to Chicago
in the character of Richard Mansfield.
What would be the impressions of the
once great king?
It is almost five hundred years since
Henry V of the house of Lancaster,
one of the greatest Kings of England.
lived on this mundane sphere. AT
that time the continent of America
was an unknown quantity. No doubt
the festive Hal would find more in the
city of Chicago than his mind could
well comprehend. We are inclined to
think that if the august Henry visited
would look chiefly to those places in
the city that correspond most closely to
the haunts that were his in old London
in the days when Merry Hal and
Poins and fat Jack Fa1staff caroused
in the house of Doll Tearsheet and
practiced the sportive trade of gentle
men highwaymen and footpads. Then
wouldn't the hayward son of Henry
Bo1ingbroke open his eyes at what the
great city of Chicago could offer in the
line of attractions most patronized by
himself and his boons in the days of
his Princehood. What great field he
would find if he chose to seek diver
sion, as he sought it when he held up
the money from the Kings exchequer,
and what wonderful opportunities the
modern city would give him in the
way of a substitute for Doll and her
house. To be sure the gay Prince
used to stay up and out the whole
night, but he would not find much
cause for com plant in this direction in
Chicago. How much more accommo-
dating, even as to hours, the average
Chicago saloon would prove than the
tavern of the days Of Henry, even
though it were a Prince who asked
hospitality. On the whole, we imag-
inc that Prince Hal would find Chi
cago a wonderful and incomprehensib1e
eye-opener. The most reckless dreams
of this disso1ute and untrammeled
youth could not have conceived of the
faintest suggestions of the possibili-
ties and opportunities for vice that the
modern city of Chicago can afford.

Col. TEDDY is always consistent.
Wherever he goes he carries out the
strenuous idea in life. The reports OF
his bear hunting episodes are replete
with suggestions of strenuousness not
any less strenuous than that which
characterized Teddy during the CAM
paigns in Cuba, and in the States
couple of months ago. First he saved
his hunting party from mountain
lion that his dogs had freed and his
party had surrounded, and then he is
himself saved by the timely interter-
ence of companions, from an enraged
grizzly, which, punctured with the
balls from dozen rifles, turned upon
the man who happened to be nearest,
who, of course happened to be Roose-
welt. who stood his ground until his
magazine was empty, and then, seeing
trouble Bruin, turned tail and ran
as he had seen the Spaniards do at
San Juan. But, happening not to be
so good a sprinter as the Dons, the
bear, though giving away weight and
carrying consid cradle lead, steadily
gained on the man who outran Ad1ai
f., until it seemed that Teddy must die
the strenuous death, when, the party
having deposited a few more maga-
zines of lead about the person of the
grizzly, it fell under the weight and
died of exhaustion, not fifteen feet
from Teddy, who, though buried in
the snow, still kept cool.

Col. ROOSEVELT has a way of hit
ting the mark, as evidenced by the I'M
erring aim with which he recently
brought down mountain lion just as
it was in the act of leaping on his
hunting party. The lion is not the
only victim that might testify to this
peculiar talent of the Colonel.

ocean tonnage, that there are more
ships offering than there are cargoes,
that there has been a steady diminu
ton of ocean freight rates-all of these
statements being absolute and bare
faced untruths. There are not enough
ships offering for the cargoes that of
fer, rates are abnormally high for
