The following paragraph from a report of the proceedings of the Michigan Presbytery, held in Detroit last week, may interest many of our readers: The report ot the commlttee on the advlsabllity of fouuding a Presbyterlan college in Michigan caused a warm and protrac ted dlsoasslou. The matter nnally went over untll tliis afternoon. Captain E. P. Allen, of YpMlantl, one of the llrst speakers after the noon adjournment, dlscussed the subject wlth characteristlo vigor. If the Presbyterlan church wants to reach tbeyoung men, he sald, 11 must go where the young men are. Ttaay are at Michigan Unlversity, and there they will continue to be as long as that Instltutlon continúes to furnish the best education to be had in the state. The churches Kbould rally together and capture the State Unlversity for morallty and religión. They shouid prevent any man not a bellever in God from occupylng a chalr In lts faculty. If the Presbyterian church founded a college of lts own it would do Jnst so much toward the making of the Unlversity an Infidel instltutlon. Tuis is sound coramon sense, and if other denominations in this state liad acted upon it they would not only have been saved many of the continuous embarrassments whlch their struggling little cglleges are subjected to, but they would have maUTially helped the moral tone of the great University of Michigan. They criticize it now because tliey afflim that its tcndency is toward Intidelity, and yet all the time, by withdrawing their support from it, they help to bring about the very evil they might avert. Here already the best aids for culture by way of books, aurt museum and teachers. Then why not make it helpful to the cause of righteousuess, rutlier than to pull it down. The appoititinent of Win. Sclieimerhoin postmaster at Hudson brings another newspaper man to the front. We lind no fault with the administration for rewarding the workers of tbe party, and eommend the principie of giving the offices to those who always do the most for the party. For an editor works for his political principies fifty-two weeks in ¦ ytar, while many auother man whose services consist of two or three days' peddling slips, makes a greater noise over it and claims the best offices as a rev:inl. In this state the wieldcrs of a migbtier weapon than the sword and the men of more influence than the dry goods box wUittlersare properly the ones who now draw the prires.
