From the Chicago Tribune.
 The gambling octopus, with its many tentacles-poker, dice, fan tan, faro, rou- lette, and betting-is firmly irtrenehed m many American colleges and universities and faculties everywhere are now 1ully aroused to the necessity of eradicatlns the monster. At the University ot Mlch- igan at Ann Arbor the authorities are finding that their effort to drive away the gambling octopus is a gigantic undertake ing. The students do not live in dormi- tories where they are under the more or less personal supervision of the fac ulty, but in private families and beard ing houses, where they disobey the eolcts of the university authorities, if they so elect, without much danger of being found out The faculty has decreed that 'Ae students shall not indulge in gambling or betting. Some of the students obey the edict With others it Is about as binding as though the authorities should pass law that the sun should begin shining every day at o'clock or that snow should not fall on Saturday.
 Detroit is only an hours ride rom Ann ArDOr. The llrSL week Ol every hAOilA during which most of the students re- ceive their checks from home, they slip away in large numbers every night to . Detroit where poker rooms abound. The value of the student patronage to the keepers of the tiger in Detroit is so great that representatives of the big gambling hells in that city are sent over every month to Ann Arbor to solicit the stud ents' patronage for the various resorts. The poker and roulette drummers distri- bute the business cards of the gambling rooms they represent and also extend personal invitations to the students and talk to them on the glittering possibilities of winning fortune or breaking the bank in one evenings play.
 Many professional gamblers from Chi cago, Detroit and Milwaukee make reg ular visits to Ann Arbor during the school year. They. organize little coteries who wish. to play poker or roulette and then set up their layouts in some stu dents room, where as many collegians gather as can get into the room and play until their last dollar is gone. Some of the gamblers in the guise of book agents make house to house canvass of the town. They get several students together, and after they have talked awhile about the book they are supposed to be sell ing they propose sa little game just to remind them of the dear old days when they, too, were in college" 1t has some times happened that these gamblers have

NEW YORK IS JUST
 AS BAD AS SOUTH
IN AN ADDRESS UPON ABRAHAM LINCOLN AN EASTERN MINIS TER STRIKES KEYNOTE ON NEGRO QUESTION:.

New York, February 16-Dr. Minot J. Savage. in the Unitarian Church of the Messiah, yesterday, spoke of the race problem, which he said threatens the future of the republic.
 Slavery, he said, would have continued to exist in the north as it did in the south had it been equally profitable here. Dr. Savage continued:
 Senator Tillman, whom I heard at a dinner last night, says that if social and political equality are allowed the colored people, it means in his judgment grad ual mixing, mongrelizing and degrading of the entire people.
 "The black man is not a white man with colored skin. The great science of evolution tells us that there are centuries, milleniums of the natural development, between the position which the white man occupied and that occupied by the black
 T have never been in favor of the kind of suffrage which is conferred upon peo- pie in this country, either white or black I would give the ballot to persons who have character and intelligence enough to make good citizens. But it is too late for that now. The question is, what are we going to do now? And I say l do not know. I would like to have the colored people scattered over the country in groups; let them have control of towns or small cities, and let them learn self government with the example of our methods all around them"
 In an address upon Abraham Lincoln as a Christian the Rev. Dr. George F. Hickman of St. Pauls Methodist Episco- pal church made an appeal for contribu- tions for the freedmen's fund for the elevation of the poor whites and negroes of the south.
 pr. Hickman expresses himself as be- lieving New York to be not a bit better than the south in siding against the negro in what has come to be regarded as a question of rights.
