1- cf the large universities devote them
selves to the promotion oi the views of

r- students the benefit of the liberal spirit
>- that is inseparable from the highest
y education. The trustees of Brown unl
i- veralty, by sacrificing President An*

c ceptions, the n- \st distinguished educa
te tor In the country, have shown that

ii lira have fallen in pleasant places,
n H,. is to be at the heed of th” Cosraopol-
- it a unlversliy, which is co be founded
'. by John Itrisb’-n Walker, editor of The
a (■: ni'n -dita'i ?o;igazine. Under the dl
a roction of President Andrews, this new
- Inst it i,tlon will enable thousands of am
t bilious young men and women to se
•' cure all the 1 cneiits of higher education
t without ..ling away from their homes,
and at very small expense.
The plan of the new university Is an
amplification of the Chautauqua Idea,
r and a great improvement on the scheme
of uni-.eraity extension. By means of
> this nstitiitlon, which will be richly en
’ d >wed and s'.dlL'uliy managed, many
1 hundreds of young people who would
- not otherwise be aide to get so much as
s a taste o’ university education will
- have an opportunity of drinking as
i deeply of knowledge «s their ambition
will permit them to go.
While it 1.; trite that such n scheme
cannot take the place of a regular uni
versity education, U is also In •> that It
( wll reach thousands who c-.m-t afford
, the expensive luxury of institiuionr. cn

Excusing' the Republicans.
Mr. Dingicy-g tariff seems to lie brav
inr n hard time of it from the eta t
'Fhe McKinley “democrats'’ view It wit!
awe, and one of them —the editor o
The New A'otk World—seems to regan
It as a mons’roslty. indeed, tho edito
ii so dissatisfied w.th the measure, am
at the same time so anxious to ehieh
his lit” allies, the republicans, that b.<
actually accuses the sliver senators o
being tha prime cause ot its adoption
and he proves it, too. in pretty mud
the sumo way that ho proved that ai
awful “silver trust” waa trying to de
feat the patriotic plana of tho gold syn
dicate.
Wo do not wonder at the anxiety
man!fe.-,ted by the McKlnmy “demo
c’-i's” to shift the rcsponilbllPy for tb*
Dlr,gley ad from th*ir late allies. They
perceive v.-ry clearly that they* will be
compelled by circumstances over which
they have no control to renew the dis
graceful alliance. In order to deceive as
many voters ns they can, the McKinley
"democrats” continue to maintain their
hypocritical opposition to high protec
tion. They denounce the first fruits ot
republican legislation and now pretend
that Ino responsibility for the Dingley
ad rests with two or three senators.
’i’he World says tho swndment to
the sugar schedule increasing tha re

Hugar trust was adopted by a vote of

to not feasible to enter upon the subje
c- at all.
st Ail this matter resolves Itself bax
id Into a question of historical evidem
te which Mr. Reagan fully presents. Th;
v- evid”nce is that Xtr. Davis did send tl
1- commission to its work in good fait!
that that commission did no: receive a
official offer from Mr. Lincoln 1
pay for the slaves; that the report <
v_ that commission Is conclusive evident
■t. cn that point, and hence Mr. Davis h?
’h no opportunity either to accept or di
jf cline such a proposition. Mr. Rcaga
<1 goes on to prove by official and dcci
Ji montary evidence that th” party of tl
id other side, through Mr. Lincoln, m?.'l
Id no such official declaration. Hence, h
dismisses the whole subject as unwo;
’f thy of historic credence.
G History is made from official docn
0 ments, or from solemnly recorded as
11 siveraf.lons of th” principals to an
cause. Since the official records of bot
l * the confederate and federal governmen
contain no suggestions cf any offer
to purchase the slaves, the contention o
~ Mr. Reagan will, no doubt, prevail I:
what history says of the-war. J.nd ye!
' 3 the fact has undoubtedly been estab
ij Jlshed that President- Lincoln did ex
preos to Mr. Stephens In personal con
3 versatlon bis willingness to pay for thi
.. liberation of the southern slaves, as :
r basis of peace. That Mr. Stephens cred
itsd such a statement to President Lin
j coin in numerous personal converaa
j tions Is no longer a matter cf doubt;
f for it has been verified from numeroui
sources of such reliability as to leavf
> this question no longer one cf conten
tion. Since, however, the attitude cl
» President Lincoln, as was expressed tn
f Mr. Stephens, was purely personal, and
, did net become of record, history will
s not give It place In its pr-cserva 1 ion ol
the records cf the war. It is sact —but
I It is not official history.

Provider.”” and the Farmers.
Tt happens more frequently than scof
fers art- willing to admit that provi
, deuce tak”s a hand in passing events;
and there Is substantia! evidence to
show that the farn.er.s of Georgia and
; the south generally have been made the
beneficiaries of a special inierposlGon.
In ira.-ie of the hard times in business
and counncrce the farmers are blissed
with prospects of magnificent crops of
ail kinds. At the beginning of the ; -a
--sc-n the outlook was not at ail propi
tious. A k;t“ rnl dry spring is no’
usually a prelude to a bountiful yield cf
field crops, b it providence, l.y corning
to tho rescue, has made it so this year.
Moreover, the hard times widen beer
with such heavy cruelty on those who
■ have the soil and God’s aeasons
to fall back on, have taught the farm

This means a great deal for ti;-* farm-.;

‘3 The Coming of Democracy.
rt Ti:e democratic party of York county,
pf Pen -. • In • • vention last
In Tuesday nud adopted a set of ringing
■t, and enthusiastic resolutions, Indorsing
j- the Chicago platform, and deno mc.mg
j- the rule of trusts and mononolles.
*- The vigor and fire of the York county
>e resolutions are worthy cf emulation by
a all democratic conventions, large or
1_ small. They reaffirm and reiterate the
j. cardinal principles cf democru y as de
fined and maintained from the days of
Thomas Jefferson to tho present time,
” and “as clearly, exactly and uti'hcrlta
fl tively declared by the regular nitk nal
i convention of 1836, and approve d by : lx
I ralllfon fixe h ndre I tbom nd <: mo
cratic voters who could be neitner se
r‘ duced nor coerced into submission to the
'* truf-ts and monopolies.”
. Tl e democrats cf York go on to de
claro that ti.e millions “whose allegiance
t to their party remains un aa : ?n and
who still follow with increas'ng love
and confiderce William J. Riyaa, the
glorious leader of a n’erious * ;-'i ”, re
. enforced by a muititude cf abused and
_ deluded citizens, will . -• th- cot 1 y
■ , in 1900 and replace th * reign oft.. 0
; I trusts with the reign of the o - nie.”
• ! Tiie York democrats, in ad- : a io
weeping t '■ ra: ■ ft.rse-
i mmt of true democratic doctrine, de-
■ ■ mr-nd ti lt the par-y shall 1 ■ ;.- nijnly

tho republican party en-1 the legislation,
recently enacted.
If any reader Is Inclined to nsk why
j we give editorial prominence to the
' stirring declarations of the democratic
i party in a Pennsylvania co oity. the
answer is that these declarations go to
the root of ‘he matter and sho.j that a
wave of democratic ent ansi a.sin is pre
paring to sweep over tlie country. 'Mia
democrat of York set an exampl? that
may well be foiiowed by all democrat
ic conventions. Th -y do nut mince '.heir
; words; they do no: hedge and equivo
‘ cat?; they do not ride their purposes
! and des'res under a string cf platitudes.
• <>n t’e contrary, they go straight to
; the maik, with a vigor that every true
; d”tnt.- .at will relish and apnfij’id.
j The Con-; u ution is of tho opinion that
! the eoun ry is on th” eve of the great
| est democratic revival ever known In.
I tho history of the republic. The time
i !s ripe for it. AH the signs and symp
