It had to condemn both the republican nnd democratic parties and to pledge support to thn populist candidates. The conference was _ callcd for no such purpose , nor was It au thorized to speak for the members ot the federation upon political questions The pledge of populist support is decidedly pro- mature.

Their persistent violation of the law to regulate railroads without having suffered any of the penalties has led the people to feel that railroad manageis , while In theory no better than unjbody else before the law. are In fact above It. It Is certainly time that something vvera done to show that the managers of railroads are as amenable lo the laws of the land ns are other pe-opto , that con spiracy amotiB them against the public in terests Is no mete justifiable than among those whom they employ , and that their position is not an Impregnable shield against prosecution and punishment for violations of law. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ A nniiAT r/K/s771 / v .sirin7 r. There Is In tcsslon at Cleveland the great est religious convention that has been or will be held anywhere In the world this year. It Is the Internallonil convention of the societies of Chnstan Hinlcavor , an or- ganl7allon of young people for religious work which has had a most remarkable growth since It came into existence thir teen years ago. It now comprises 28,000 .societies , having a total membership ot 1,700,000. There are Kndeavorers In Canada , Great Ilrltaln and olhcr foreign lands , but the great bulk of the membership Is In thla countty. where there are about 24,500 so cieties , having l.noo.000 members in round numbers. In order to appreciate the meanIng - Ing of these figures ono has only to com- pure them with the numerical strength of other organizations the greatness of which U familiar. The number of Frco Masons In this eonntrj Is about 700,000 , of Odd Fellows 725,000 , and of Knights of 1'jthlas 45,000. : The membership of the Endeavor societies outnumbers the Masons and the Odd Tcllows combined , and Is more than three times us numerous as the Knights of Pjlhlas. H largely outnumbers the total membership ot all the labor organizations In the country. It Is Indeed a magnificent army of Chris tian workers which Is comptlscd In this organisation , capable of accomplishing a vast amount of good for the cause In which It is enlisted. Compo ed of young people , with abundance ot energy and zeal , there Is every reason to expect that the organiza tion will go on Increasing In numerical strength and enlarging Us power for use fulness In the sphcto ot Its operation. Quo of the most dlitlugulshlng feutnres ot the Endeavor meetings h their iinsectarlanlsm The basis of the Christian Endeavor move ment Is ltn broad IntcrdenomumtlonalUm , whllo nt the same time It enjoins strict lojalty to the local church or denomina tion with which each society (3 ( connected. This nonsectarlanlsm has been ono of the lending factom In the phenomenal growth ot the organ zatlon Since the dayi of the crusaders the world has not witnessed to rapid a spread of a religious movement. In 1SSI the vvholo oiganlzatlon comprised only two societies , with sUty-elght member * . As already stated the present membership ls not far from 3,009,000 , In view ot what has b n accomplished In thirteen years U would not be easy to everest mala the pos- -i i M of th' future The i ir- t > IK | rniiarly flttra tlvi to JOUIR I | i f r < f < urne It his Its soi'ntl as veil a < Its moral flnd religious advantage Afrmbtjrshlp of II In In Itwlt n credent nl | to social reiptct an well M an att lntlon of right HvlnR mid devotion to moral prin ciples.

The Christian Hn- deavot movement hns a strong foothold In Omaha , there being perhaps two dozen so cieties here nnd a central union. It Is also in a flourishing condition In other portions tions uf the stale. The present labor strike crisis has brought to the front a largo nnd varied nssort- ment of economic Illusionists. K.ich has made hla own peculiar diagnosis and claims to have discovered the only Infallible remedy. While the military surgeons and Ihe railroad medicine men all commend blood-lulling and lead pills as the sine cure for the strike mania and all dlv 01 dors of the body politic , Dr. Jennings Denial est declares that there Is only one cause nnd ono cure for all these Ills and that Is constitutional and stalntory prohibition. In his Judgment nil these troubles have theli oilgln In the stomach and that organ must bo llioioughly "rinsed" with distilled water and kept from contact with rum , vvlno , beer and othet alchohollc beverages. This pre- setlpllon is pronounced by IJr Henry George as no better preventive than a dose of neldlltz powders or an Ipecac capsule. Dr. George af.smcs , us that n lifetime's study con vinces him that the only specific for the present disorders and all fulure disorders , whatever nmj be their nature , Is the single taGlvo us the single tax and labor will be content under any condition or treatment nnd capital will be like a menagerie lion with his teeth all drawn and claws clipped "You're way off , Dr. George , " cry Prof niaud jf ) Mlbsouti and Dr. Stewart of Ne vada. A porous plaster cf the frco and un limited will cure Undo Sam's splenatlc liver and set his kldnejs to acting like those of a bojTree silver and plenty of It at 1C lo 1 will do away with all labor troubles and convert the frenzied anarchist Into a docllo and lamb-like bulng "Give the patient more currencj' , " cries Dr. Crj ptoqram Donnellj. Set the printing presses in motion and distribute a few billions of greenbacks among the tellers ! Tlmt specific applied promptly Is an Infallible cure. "These are all ungodly remedies , " cry the doctors of divinity , and they can bring no relief to a generation of wicked sinners The Lord has brought this nation to grief for the wickedness of Chicago In keeping the World's fair gates open on the Sabbath day and tempting our gospel ministers with the altractlons of Midway Plalsanco on week days Unless jo icpent of jour wickedness 'and slop your Sunday picnics and seek sal vation bj patronising our churcncs there can bo no hope for this Innd. With nil these prescriptions before them no wonder the statesmen at Washington are sorely perplexed. UXIVUKSITIRS , "By a university I do not mean a college , " explained President Low of Columbia college in an address delivered before the New York Stale Teachers association last week , and to Judge from the confusion that exists In the popular mind regarding these two kinds of educational institutions the explanation thus volunteered Is not at all suporflous. Gather at random the different prevailing ideas on tills subject and jou will flnd that as a rule a university Is taken to bo but a moro pollto name for college. This confusion is promoted furthermore by the Indiscriminate usurpation of the name university by Insti tutions that are nothing moro than colleges It not mere pretentious academies. Nor are the pretended unlveisltlcs the only offenders in Ihls line , for the older universities , among them the ono over which President Low presides , attempt to foster both the college and tlio university under one and the same name. The proper distinction comes to the surface now and then , notably with Had- clIITc college , the woman's collcglnto de partment leading to the work In Harvard unlvetslty , but the misapplication of the term Is still frequent , oven with these who ought lo know bettor. A college Is an educational institution for the purpose of developing bojs Into men. A university , on the other hand , Is defined by President Low to bo an Institution whoso aim It Is to glvo to the scholar and to the specialist the utmost opportunlly for study ing any subject which the resources of civili zation can command. A college should put its sludcnts through a judicious discipline of both mind and body ; It must necessarily bo dogmatic to a certain extent ; Its object Is to equip men to bo prepared to enter the various walks of life. The university seeks to stimulate research and original Vork ; It deals with methods rather than materials ; tt endeavors to Hailstorm men into scholars. The work of the college , then , Is compara tively definite ; that of the university abso lutely unlimited As to the question of ex pense , It Is conceivable that a college should have money suine'lent .for Its purposes and | that there may bo no absolute Immediate i necessity for moro. A university , how over , j never can Imvo enough money until there nro no new regions of knowledge to bo ox- ] plored. U must provide for a small handful of specialists' apparatus , laboratories and , books so costly In themselves , perhaps , as to pay nil the expenses of a moderate sized , college. There are always other fields for the university to conquer. To the confusion ot Ideas as to what dis tinguishes a college from u nnlverrfly must also bo ascribed the diversity of opinion on the subject ot the multiplication of edu cational Institutions. A few universities can support all the scholars which the whole country can produce The demand for col leges , on the contrary , Is largely it local demand. Every section of the country must ba supplied with facilities for eollcglalo edu cation , and whllo there nro certain ad vantages to be gained from the consolidation of a university and a college Into ono , It takes many colleges to furnish the students for u single university. There can bo undue multiplication of colleges , but we- are still fir tr-mi il a i > H u > u > i < r nn iv I fti o mailer of nn v.vt < it v ii u we ii > 1 u > > la the develupmiH/ / ! 1 c.xten on eif tluiao vve alreadj have i he linn bflwien the col lege and the unive.illy Is sharp and plain. The college la tNjUt&jewmty bte upon which the university A curious vd&lUO recently rendered by n i coroner's jury Jin , Pemiiv.lvnnfa must give ' rise to omo tlnu'bta n to Ihe adequacy of j our system of cj-'mtlnal Inw. "Sho wa * compelled to yJWtVmlt inlelde" la thu way the vcrilrft * reads , the woman to whom It WfiSrred having died nt her home from fin overdose of mor phine. The Jury , was led to the decision by the claim that thu woman had for three jenrs been under the Influence cf an o.x- minister of her church The latter Imd ox cried Much n pccullir power over her that she signed over to him without teturn ol nny kind till her properly , real and personal , amounting to several thousand dollars. Th y vvero both In the house ut the time the sui cide was committed The cf-minister after wards produced n paper , written In the Ger man lingu.ago anil signed by the deceased , stating that he lud not taken her life. In the face of this the Jury brought In n ver dict lo the effect that the woman died by mtrphtno taken cnnliary to her own will. How to make the law fit a case of this kind Is the perplexing question. The courts know no crime of Influencing a person to commit suicide , and the dllllc'tlty would be to furnish legal proof If the statutes did provide for It. Wo have had frequent stories of robbery perpetiated under a sp"ll ot hjpnctlsm , but the law docs not enable a case to be made against the hjpnotlst Wo also had a verdict of similar character when the coroner's Juty dccl.itcd that the negro lynched by the Omaha mob came to his death by fright. That was merely an other way of naylng that he committed unlcldo under Iho Influence of his pursuers , In Now Yotk , where suicide Is llself n crime , the person exerting the Influence might possibly bo made an accessorj- . But where suicide Is not punishable , how can the law deal with Ihe person who Is the cause of It ? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I'lturiT SllAltlXn HAltl ) 7/JJf-S. The Independent of a week ago gives some recent facts about profit sharing which let In considerable light concerning the workings of the profit sharing system In hard time- ) The arllclo referred to is really an account of nn experience meeting lately held by the American Association for the Ptomotlon of Profit Sharing , and decplto the roseate view which the writer and the promoters of ptolt sharing are Inclined to take the facts as given go to confirm the opinion which we have already expressed , that while profit sharing may be and often Is an excellent thing for particular enterprises nnd for par ticular employes7"1t does not point the way lo the IndnstrlalMnyicnnlum. To the facts iatftie. case of Alfred Dolge , the manufacturer of _ felt goods and the founder of Dolgovllle , N. Y. , who last year celebrated the ( j/iarter centennial anniver sary of the establishment of profit sharing with his employes , we have some time ago called attention. VNol1 only was he unable to distribute any profits or to give Ills cus tomary annual banquet last jcar , but the bus.ness depression Mn the fall compelled him to cut wages 10 per cent In addition. Ilia employes , to 'lie ' sure , accepted the re duction without complaint a fact attributed by Mr. Dolgo to the Influence of his profit sharing system , " & $ "others to their Inability to do better elsewhere. Hard times with Mr. Pomeroj- , the New Jersey ink manu- facturei1 , have been tided over without any profits to share , but also without any of the trouble with employes which some other neighboring manufacturers had to endure. The Nelson Manufacturing company of St. Louis , whose works at Le Cla.re , 111 , are extolled as the triumph of profit sharing In America , did not escape the stress of hard times. Last summer the management a-ked the men to work a full day for three-quar ters wages on the condition that the one- quarter wages should be paid back ns soon as the state of business permitted. This proposition is said to have been accepted by the men "with cheers. " In October full wages were resumed again , and the In ventory at the end of last year showed sufficient profits to repay the wages fore gone , although not enough profits to declare any wages dividend. A number of other c - tabllshments in which profit sharing nom inally prevailed , have never shared any profits with their employes for the obvious reason that under the system adopted there have never been any profits to divide. So far then as the laborer In a profit sharing Institution is concerned , ho has no greater protection against the Inroads of hard times than the laborer who o only In centive to work Is his wages. The former Is siiro to suffer a diminution , if not a total loss , of his accustomed share In the prof its , and ho Is liable to a reduction In wages beslde.s. The employer without profits Is In the same position , w bother or not ho had anticipated sharing with his cmplojes His gains during hard times must test in the greater stability ot his employes , who hope to resume prollt sharing so soon as profits reappear , and for the same reason perhaps In a greater willingness to stand wage reductions without unnecessary com plaint. Profit sharing , however , does not Insure profits , It therefore affords no barrier to the recurrence of hard times. It Is a dcvlco for promoting harmony be tween employer and employe , not a solution of the Industrial problem. The election of Chancellor James II. Can- field of the State university to the position of president of tlia Ohio State university Is a gratifying compliment to the ability of that energetic eduuatbr , but at the same tlmo It calls attention to ono of the weak spots In our western unlveisltles , The com petition for successful professors has become - come so great tlmt it' Is almost impossible to keep ttack of men "engaged In collegiate work. They win their spurs In some west ern university and Aork their way east by steps or leaps ha the case may be. This IB very pleasant fpr the man who Is thus promctod , but It Is ttono the loss detrimental to the unfortunate western university and absolutely ruinous to 3tho stability of both professor and university. The University of Nebraska has suffered ) In this respect along with other western universities , particularly In tlm occupant of the chancellorship. It Is to bo hoped tlmt It will not be forced to endure these constant changes In Its ad ministration The national good roads conference that 1ms been In session at Asbury Park , Now Jersey , with an attendance ot delegates from all but three states In the union , pre sents gratifying evidence of the Increasing and widespread Interest In the movement for Improved country roads In the United States. The- object of the conference la simply to report progress and to discuss the best means for accomplishing Us object. I 1 I i III I < 11.
