Advertising Collected each Month. Office over Collins fc KarselPs. Tlie Rejection or I-Iatl-Tile rejection of Murat Halstead, the veteran editor of the Cincinnati Coiumercial-Cazette for minister to Germany, is an outrage that deserves the censure of every newspaper in the country. Mr. Halstead was nominated by President Harrison, his name went to the Senate for con

firmation, and there it was rejected the votes of Republicans. Had he not been qualified, or had his politics been of doubtful repute, there mi&ht have been an excuse

iiicli he could kfive

been defeated. tt lt was argued in debate and is admired that Mr. Halstead was defeated "because, as an editor, he at one time had the courage of his convictions and spoke the truth, while others, through fear or favor, allowed an outrage to be perpetrated upon honest politics and had not a word to say in condemn ation. This was in the celebrated Payne case from Ohio. Four years ago Payne was elected to the U. S. Senate by the most outrageous corruption and stupendous Iraud. With the Commercial-Gazette in the lead the Republicans of Ohio made specific charges, prepared the proof and asked the Republicans of the Senate to make an investigation. When the question was called up for consideration, four Republicans voted against investigation, to the surprise of every one. Editor Halstead was not the man to allow such a breach of trust to go unnoticed, and though the Senators who voted to seat Payne were recognised as worthy Republicans,he spared them uot,and denounced them unmercifully for the vote thev gave to seat a man elected by such methods. Now -Halstead is nominated for an im-

UNIVERSITY NEWS.

po riant of&ot, and as a matter of revenge, or, perhaps as a warning to the public press to guard its crincisros, he is defeated. The oniv inference from such & rtsuit seems to be that ihe Senate says in ef 'ect that the man who honestly criticizes the action of that body, or its individual members, shall ever after be disqualified for office. Or, in other words, he who expects such honors must not under any circumstances censure a member of the U. S. Senate. The press is then to be restricted so far as it h possible for that body to take action. The men who voted against Mr. Halstead because lie radically differed with them in a measure of great importance, would if the opportunity were offered so that tbey dared to do so, place a censorship over the American press and mak it a crime to expose officials high in office. Anyhow such would be the result of the principle, if carried oui. If Mr. Halstead said a libel, or damaged the good reputation of these Senators, the place to secure justice was in the courts of the country, by applying the laws enacted for that purpose. Defeating him for an honorable position simply because they held the balance of power, was only an act of revenge. Revenge is always folly; and there is no place where it reaps its reward so soon as in politics.

The Telephone hopes that Mr. Chambers, the new Republican U S. Attorney for Indiana, will dismiss the last one of the election indictments now pending. They were gotten up by a Democratic grand jury against liepublicans, conceived in malice and born oi partisan hatred. Of all the six hundred witnesses examined; not one was questioned with the intention of criminating a Democrat. Leon liaily, who " worked up" the cases, did not desire to vindicate the law, but only to reap revenge brought about by the overwhelming defeat of himself and his party. A Republican Attorney is now asked to prosecute these Republicans. He will be derelict to his duty it he does not dismiss them without hesitation, and it is a pleasure to know that be has commenced the good wotk. .

Hon. J. N Hocstow, chairman of the Republican State Committee,has been nominated for U. S. Treasurer. Verily, they shall receive their reward.

Johnson, who had bis leg broken in the Sophomore squabble, has returned to college. He is still weak in the ankle joint and uses crutches, but hopes to be free again in a week or two. Seventy-five students failed to pass the chemistry examinations at Cornell last term. As many of them were ladies, the professor declared that "women didn't have ability to learn chemistry, anyhow.5' E. P. Bicknell, class '87, has by careful work taken'front rank among the Indianapolis reporters. He was the only newspaper man in the city

who succeeded in getting an interview with Moore, the champion defaulter. Judge Banta has been in town for several days. While here he has been conferring with Dr. Wylie in reference to the new historical catalogue that is about to appear, as he will contribute the historical article in relation to the institution. Fred Moss accompanied Prof. N.iylor to Plamfield Wednesday night where the Professor lectured on "Magnetism." There are many people in the city and about the University who would like to hear the Professor give the same talk here. The reunion of the class of '84 promises to be one of the interesting events of commencement week, and the probability is that nearly all thu members will attend. The committee on arrangements has mac e out the following programme for the evening entertainment at, the chapel : Orator, W. J. Bryan; Poet, Rev. S. D. ( oner: Historians. Miss Prudenee Arnott, Messrs. McCoy and Beckett: He v. D. 0. Stewart is chaplain; O. E. Bradfute delivers t oe address to those of the class who did not. complete the course; J. L.

Mention was made in this paper some weeks ago, about Sam Graham finding $90 in a pile of rubbish when he was cleaning out a woodshed in the west part of town, and that the money had been pronounced "bad" by Walter Woodburn, at the bank. Notwithstanding this Mr. Graham and some of his friends thought be had a bonanza, and sent the money to the U. S. Treasury for redemption. A day or two after it was returned with the word "Counterfeit" branded on every bill. Graham says he don't know whether the joke is on hini or on the person who claimed the money.

Apart from the defects in the act passed by t he last General Assembly creating and filling the office of State Geologist, to which Governor Huvey called attention in his veto of the hill, o;her blanders have been discovered in it which would be sufficient to condemn it. The bill not only conglomerates several distinct and Heparate matters, such as i,he supervision of mines, the inspection of oils and the superintendeucy of natural as, contrary to the constitutional provision which limits au ac$ to one subject, but anotUer fatal mistake is made in reflecting to make auv mention of the naturalras inspectorship in the title of the bill. Altogether in is a remarkable exhibit of ihe ability of Democratic legislator to frame defective legislation.
