the present college year with the most
elaborate function ever held at the in
stitution. The most able aud distin-
guished speakers obtainable, excellent
music, military drills, athletic con-
tests and dramatic exhibitions will
be among the features. All of the
college and student organizations will
hold reunions--in short every effort
will be made to attract the alumni
of the college at this time. The de-
tails have not been worked out but
the enthusiasm of both the students
and faculty. in whose hands the ar
rangements have been placed, is suffi-
eient guarantee of the great success Of
the undertaking.

The whole country has been on the
alert over the exposure of frauds in
the New York customs house. But
New York is not the sole offender.
Similar conditions are believed to
exist or to have existed at Boston,
Philadelphia, Norfolk, New Orleans
and San Francisco. Goods have been
undervalued. False scales have been
used for weighing goods which were
the property of persons who used fin
ancial or political inducements to Sc.
cure favorable treatment. Seventy
three employees of the New York Gus
toms house have been removed, and
the press has expressed its pleasure
at the wholesale deoapitation Of the
men who were victims as much as the
causes of vile system. "Sunset"
Cox, once New York congressman
and master of epithet, said, "It is
as easy to run powder mill in hell
as an honest government with treas
ury surplus" Much more difficult is
it to honestly administer a system
which, like our tariff system, is based
on force and fraud. OF course the
exposures have shown such condi-
tion of decentralization as almost to
justify Secretary MacVeagh's descrip-
tion of the place as "nest Of rattle
snakes" but If it be completely clean
ed out it will be as bad in few years
again. An honest customs house is
contradiction in terms. 1t puts the
largest premium known on perjury
and collusion. 1t offers the induce
ment of Independent fortunes to plant
men. No system has ever been devils
ed capable of resisting such influences
permanently.

This whole business of exploration
has got to be regulated by law. There
is still one pole to discover. and there
are several highest mountains to be

bureau of exploration might be GREAT
ed which would preserve some, por-
tions of our too small planet for the
enjoyment of future explorers, and
which would enforce such regulations
of exploration that the controversies
that have been raging over one pole
and two mountains shall not be re-
peated.

This increase is regarded as an index
of the revival of business in the lum-

also the growing use Of National For

THE PARK AS AN ISSUE.

The action of the city council IN
blocking the purchase of the city park
forces the question Of whether or no:
the city shall acquire valuable prop
erty at nominal price, into the mum
icipal campaign as an issue.
That this was the prime object of
the move which has temporarily de-
feated the committee which is holding
the spark property in trust for the
city, is evident.
The meaningless wording of the
motion. which is co constructed to con-
form to charter provisions made OBJ
solete by legislative enactment, was
introduced for purpose.
The purpose was to get this "rider"
which was tackled onto the motion,
through: "Ihe subject is indefinitely
postponed at this meeting" And it
went through, all right.
Mr.. johnson frankly admits his
mistake, and now says that he is
ready at any time to cast bis vote in
the council to take over the park
from the committee. The positions
assumed by Councilmen Watts and
Plamondon are tenable-unfair to
the men who are endeavoring to se-
cure the park for the city, by taking
the oity's warrants in payment, and
unfair to the city in questioning its
integrity through assailing the valid
ity cf its warrants.
And here vital question is presen-
ted. peculiarly applicable to Mr..
Watts and the position he takes on
the park question.
II he is willing to take payment in city
warrants for street lighting and pump
ing city water, why should he oppose
the voluntary offer Of the park com
mittee to take warrants in payment
for the park?
AS to Dir. Plamondon, his theory of
Athena CITY warrants being illegal is
exploded in the palpable fact that SO
long as the warrants are negotiable
and people are willing to receive them
they are good.
In view of the fact that the aoqui-
sition of the park is proposed on such
reasonable terms and at a cost easily
at less than half the valuation of the
property, the knowledge that small
coterie of maloontents should see iit to
make it tho tasis of a campaign issue
under the plea that the people should
have chance to vote on the PROPOSE
tion, Is exasperatingly intolerant, to
say the least, for the reason that aside
from a certain few who have in a
manner opposed the park from its in
oeption, the citizens and property
owners as a whole, want the park
owned by the CITY as free institution
for recreation and pleasure.
The Press has no objections to the
submission of the question of purohas-
ing the park to the people for vote, if
