MONEY OF PLUTocRATS.

tees of Illinois College of this city, has
written from Hong Kong, China, ten
dering his resignation, to take effect
at once, and it has been accepted by
that body
Mr.. Bryan refuses to serve as a tru5;
tee because the board wishes to take
advantage of the offer of Mr.. Carnegie
to extent aid to western colleges. He
says the colleges that accept are sell
ing out Ito the plutocrats of the land
who are seeking to strangle economic
truths"
A month ago Judge owen p. Thomp-
son and NJ. F. Dunlap, both prominent
Illinois Democrats, VINO were trustees
of this college, resigned because Mr..
Carnegie was to be asked to assist in
the institution in its finances.
THE issue presented writes Mr..
Bryan, Seems to me to be vital one,
and even if Carnegie refuses the same
question will likely arise If some other
trust magnate invites requests. Our
college cannot serve God and NAM
mon. II cannot be a college for the
people and at the same time commend
itself to the commercial highwaymen
who are now subsidizing the colleges
to prevent the teaching of economic
truth.

"He did not say where he had been,

'As we were talking-we had not

Every precaution that could make
the parade a success was taken by
the authorities. The line of march, two
miles in length, was wired off. Hours
before the scheduled time the streets
were filled with spectators.
