It is said tbat a discription of the bandits was not obtained. ________ ;• . l®~Hon. Wm. McKinley, of Ohio, In a •recent speech, gave utterance to the fol­ ly Jowingbroad sentiments: £-•- Against those who fought on the other aide in that great conflict we have no re­ sentment. For them we have no bitter- Bess. We would impose upon them no punishment; we would inflict upon them Bo indignity. They are our brothers. We would save them from humiliation. - But I'll tell you what we insist upon, and We will insist upon it until it is secured, •that the settlement made between Grant and Lee at Appamattox, and which was afterward imbedded in the Constitution " Of the United States, shall be obeyed and * respected in every part of the Union. Hore we have never asked, less we will ; ®ot have. Beyond that step we have . never advanced, short of it we cannot •top. |p-'-^The most remarkable overthrow of :V a monarchy that has ever occurred in ? Hie history of the world, took place in Brazil on the 15th inst. A delegation I waited upon Emperor Don Pedro and in. \ formed him that Brazil has advanced far enough in the path of civilization to dis- ™ pense with the monarchy. Don Pedro declined to abdicate, but would yield to force. The imparial family were given one hour to prepare for leaving the gauntry. They then were escorted to ^jgpuaship, ]eft for Portugal as soon as the party were on board. The ,is. Emperor was given $2,500,000, and is to " have an annuity of $450,000 during life. A republic under the name of the United States of Brazil was immediately pro­ claimed. Their form of government will be similar to ours. Not a drop of blood :5^1ias shed. f IQr The Elgin Every Saturday makes file following sensible remarks: "We great deal said against third Why, if a man fills an office with ability and eredit, should he not be re- wiieu? Supposing private enterprises were conducted on that plan. Supposing erery six or eight years the watch, or Condensing, or packing factory changed Ills management, so as to "give some Other fellow a chance." There is no sense in such a proposition. Gov. Foraker was defeated in Ohio, Gen. Grant was de­ feated in the Chicago convention of 1880 •Imply because of the popular prejudice against a third term. Ig there any sense in such a prejudice ? Few rules which ap­ ply to business do not apply to govern­ ments, and the successful business man generally makes the most successful Official. The sooner we get away from ' tte idea that politics is a game of spoils and the sooner we abandon the theory that the offices are simply prizes, to be ,<|ealt out in rotation, the sooner we shall teach a rational political basis. "Give fiome other fellow a chance" is the foolish cry- It disregards qualifications and , gives to official capacity no advantage over incompetency." r I®* The following from %ae Northern Christian Advocate we recommend to a careful perusal of the loud mouth cranks, t who have taken so much pains to circu­ late the scurrilous lie against Vice-Presi­ dent Morton: 'K A correspondent wishes to know the •facts concerning Vice-President Morton's * ^ar fl® we can learn, the •facte am these: Mr. Morton owns a flat called _ The Slioreham." In connection there^ ith is a restaurant. The restau- j-ant undertakes to accommodate its pat­ rons with wines, etc. To do this the pro- ptietor must have a retailer's license which license is the document in question! Mr. Morton owns the building; the real taurant privileges are let out 'to a Mr. Keenan, m whose name the license is ..*• issued. Mr. Morton's relation is that of a, property-owner who consents to have u rartaurant with a wine list on his prem- |s«S. In regard to certain current com- ijijMlt, and in justice to Mr. Morton, it oqght to be said that he does not derive *#*atof income from the objectionable wine list, and we certainly demur at his [called & "saloon-keeper" on the La­ bis relation to this" venture. His by a saloon-keepers' association to honorary membership was a matter entirely beyond his control, and, we fancy, mink as offensive to him as it would be to (Mgr gentleman of Christian instincts and raBn«ment. Our record in the temperance Iftovoaent ought to prevent any misun- <Nw*BPding of our position on this par- tfcMflar Issue. We do not indorse wine nor de we regard with approval the of property for the Vending of in­ to. But as distinctions must be we choose to who ar^. Lake Forwit University. That our renders may know that one of the most promising institutions of learning is now located in this part of the State, we copy the following from the Chicago Interior; A university cannot be made ready In a day, but it can well nigh be so made, and Lake Forest University is a living proof of the assertion, as was shown at the last meeting of the trustees. A few years ago Win. C. Hobo its, D. 1)., LL.D., came to Lake Forest and found the institution a poor struggling child. Upon accepting the presidency, he went to work with en­ ergy and enthusiasm, to make the insti­ tution a university in reality, one that would do credit to its motto, "Christo et ecclesio." To-day, Lake Forest holds up its head, a full grown man as it were, among the most competent institutions of the land. At the meeting of the board of trustees, held Tuesday, Oct. 8, President Roberts' report was full of cheer, snowing that affairs were in a highly encouraging state. The increase in the number of students at the college this year is un­ precedented in the college's history. Every available dormitory is filled. The recitation rooms are crowded almost to inconvenience. The same is true of the academy. Professor and Mrs. Cutting, who have made Mitchell Hall such a charming home for the academy boys, were obliged to turn away as many as twenty student^, seeking apartments at the hall. Plans are out for a new section of academy baildings, to eclipse anything yet built, east or west. Ferry Hall is also well filled, notwithstanding the fact that new accommodations for 120 more ladies were added last year, Professor Stuart was elected by the board to take the chair of Latin, recent­ ly vacated by Prof. Kelsey, who was called to the head of Michigan University's Latin Department. Prof. Stuart is a well-known and capable instructor. He used to fill the Latin chair at Chicago University. The board also appointed two new masters for the academy, and four new instructors for Ferry Hall. The Chicago College of Dental Surgery was unanimously received into the university system as the Dental Depart­ ment. This college is one of the best in the West. Its financial condition is flat­ tering, and its faculty is made up of men who are eminent all over the land. Some 220 students are enrolled in this depart­ ment. Judges Bailey and Moran had previously made application to the board for the annexation of the Chicago College of Law to the university system. The College is yet young, but it has 150 students already. The reputation of Judge Bailey, who is at the headj£of this law school, is a sufficient guarantee of the laws capabilities. A committee, com­ posed of President Roberts, Judge Hib- bard and Mr. Bogue, was appointed to confer with a similar committee repre­ senting the Chicago College of Pharmacy, with a view of uniting the latter to the university. - The board listened to an extremely in­ teresting report regarding the new H. C. Durand School of Arts and Sciences. The architects plans were presented, and received the unanimous approval of the board. This building is to be erected on the beautiful site of the old academy, the funds being furnished by Henry C. Du­ rand. The corner-stone will be laid in a few days. The structure is to be very im­ posing. It will be of brown stone, cost­ ing between $40,000 and $60,000. Com­ petent judge® who have seen the plans and specifications, say that it will be one of the most elegant buildings connected with any institution in the country. The board made liberal appropriations for the library, philosophical apparatus, the publication of the catalogue, and for advertising purposes. The university system is now complete, with the exception of a theological de­ partment. The undergraduate and philosophical departments are at Lake Forest; Rush Medical College, the College of Dental Surgery, and the College of Law, located at Chicago. In the under­ graduate department the intellectual and spiritual life is most prosperous. The standards in scholarship are high, tend­ ing to discourage "special" students to the extent that all but two are now reg­ ular students. Under the spiritual direc­ tion of Dr. McClure, the great majority of Lake Forest students are professing Christians, and "Christ and His Church" will ever be the watch word of Lake Forest University. A Washington correspondent says; " First Assistant Postmaster Gen­ eral Clarkson has completed his annual report. A point which will attract the attention of the Democratic press i8 the comparison of the number of post-office changes during the last year and the year previous* There was an increase in the number of changes from 12,000 to 20,000. If the comparison is made with the corresponding yea,r of the Cleveland Administration the showing would be quite different. In the first year of the Cleveland Administration there was an increase of 13,200 in the number of changes in post-offices, the total number of appointments being 22,747, at com­ pared with 9,547 the previous year. It may be well for the Democrats to bear this in mind before commenting on Mr. Clarkson's report. There has been acon- siderable increase in the number of free- delivery officers during the year owing to the growth in population and business in various cities. Mr. Clarkson has some valuable recommendations to make in regard to this matter, and also concern­ ing the adjustment of salaries and other thinge coming within his division."
