But the method of proceedure at Washington is Interesting. It Is the old way of promising and then declaring that the party cannot fulfill its promises.

Dei’AUW'S PRESIDENCY.
It is probable that a considerable majority of those who went to Meliarry Hall Sunday afternoon to hear Dr. McConnell went with some notion of estimating the man and his abilit- by the power of his oratorical effort. If this is true, certainly
their esliiuati must be high. Seldom j I . oads a| . (
has an audience been favored with tt more powerful, more logical or more thoughtful address, though it was delivered under the unfavorable clrcunislances of a first appearance ami in the form of a sermon. But oratory is not the sale requisite of a college president. In taet it is one of the least necessary things. At Its beat it but serves to advertise the Institution, or perhaps more truly, the head of the institution. DePauw University is now well known. It needs neither wider advertising nor m re students. There nuist he now tha organization In the institution its if whii h shall render ii a powerful force In the educational world. Not tiint DePauw does not now have this place, but that place must be cned and strengthened. Departing heads more time for research and writing along depaiimental lines. In other words the president must have a large view of education, a large view of the university's needs. Much of the work niiisi be silent work, speaking through tile Institution and
Ii its president A student indent of affairs, a student ‘ii as applied to life and :tis the president must he. repeater of pedagogical not the man, hut one who anhood's worth and the
truth of manhood. And such a one is Dr. McConnell. If the theme and tv le.-son of Sunday s address reveal
It would appear that Mr Root is to he the Senator from New York. The people the country over seem to think that this will be a step in advance of (he pre ont conditions, it is held that DePew and Platt, both representatives of trusts and rail-
noi the representatives of
the peoph* and should he retired. We are inclined to think that Mr. Root will not help that phase of tile situation. For years a trust attorney, with all his hopes and friendships among Wall Street men, there is little bailee that the people will secure a representative through the placing of Mr. Root in the senate. Now York's interests will secure an able supporter, something Dial Platt has ceased to lie. But tin people will still get only the crumbs that the interests do
not want.
