Chicago University Must Wait

The exaggerated stories that have se abroad about the phenomenal sucess of the ünlverslty of Chicago, ■svluct slfted down to truth appear like many other' Chicago wondere, merely wind. It is asserted by one who has ibeen there and knows, that the actual attendance is ecarcely 500 bastead of 1000, and they are all domiciled in close and unoomfortable quarters. The University oí that great city may develop into something immens f in the eourse of time, but that it will take time is quite evident. It is,next to impossible for a great eeat. of to spring into existente at once, no matter how great an endowment it may have. It takes time to develop a great university. It takes ibrains to iill its various chaii-B successfiilly. College presidenta - successful college presidents- are not found by .the asking. Neither are college professors. Money can not inake brain.s, and It can not always hire them. Chicago University will not Bpring into the arena a fnll fledged institution. It will have to undergo what all othrr institutions have bad to undergo before it can reach promi: aence and euceeas, . e., the laying of a foundation. The Leland Stanford Jr.. University of California, has an endowment of nearly $20,000,000, and lias been in existenee for several years, and has nati beached a. .great altitude yct. It will in time, thiougti, by wiae management. It is la.ving a BOlld iondation. On this foundation it will build, and in time ttoe Leiand Stanford Jr., will be to the Pacific States what Harvard and Yale are tp tlie atlanti' stands, and tin1 ünlversity of Mkhiii-an is tö the great Oentrai statcs. it niay chafe Chicagw some, but she will have to learn tliis lesson: Omnia veniant 'qui expectat. Jodge Greeham has rendered a deton Ui.'ii practically vitiatee the interstate eomuurce Iaw, and renders it l i Wlicn Judge Gresham end cd tihe Ibench he was a raili(i:ul attpniey, and does not appear te have treed hims 'lf from railroad influen -i's a eufflclent length of time yet to iet as an impartía! judge, avIicii the iniciTsts of those corporatiems ore at stake.

Wonder how the aaitanje men who wanted to nomínate hita for president last fall will relisli thart decisión? The Judge ought to he of no account as a populist idol after this.
