We do not speak in disparaze- ment oL justitutions already gstnhl?sucd when we say thst certain things. in this dircction ain vet 1o be done. We have not yet in the West cither 3 Harvard or 2 Yale. Is ituot o ask ourselves whether we are to have sime 3 sacn 8 school? and, i o to cousider what are mears to that end- A unif y—one really such—rightly located and efliciently conducted could not fail tobea Sast power for good in the wide region stretch- «away from Chicazo to the north, the west, the south. Not 1o speak of what it should o directly fn the service of education, it would pecome @ centre of educational stimulus and impulse to the whole West, while st the same time rousing. distipliningz, avd Secting the scholariy spirit. The West has one great. things already in education; 1t has ‘on recoeition, also, in classical and general Jiterature; but jts greatest works in these girections Temain still to be undertaken. Is it pot time to begin planning and working ona Jarger scale? Aud can such plans appropriateiy ceptre anywhere else but in Chicago? Itis uederstood that the founders of the {oiversity in our city contemplated. a school ‘ith proportions such as we have intimated sbove. Not a college; not a colleze with one ortwo professional attachiments,—but an insti- tution growiug stesdily to the measure of & gpiversity o the strict meaning of that word. The building up of such institutious is, in this country, Of mecessity; 3 work of time. Even where some wealthy and generous benefactor, s in the case of the Jonns Hopkins University st Baltimore, supplies the endowment, time, 2od patieoce, and the co-operation of mauy wise and willing workers, are needful to a tomplete result. Even when buildings are reared, snd library-sheives are flled, and all the apoliances of scientific study and experi- ment are complete, there is still to be achieved that educational prestige and status whi h will enroll the name among the great universities of the world. How much more is all this true when there Is no one wealthy benefactor to fur- pish codowment, and buildings, and library, and apparstus, and whatever else is necessary 10 the Yighest order of educational work: whenall this must be the fruit of awide co-operation, and that co-operation sceured by paticat and persevering sppeal from man to men! 1t is o sastthine to do; Fet in this, as in every other csse, there is a jirs! thing which is always prac- ticable—and that is, to begin. We called attention recently to the efforts pow on foot to place in a position of efficiency the University which has now for nearly twenty sears borne our ity name. This Unisersity has ‘chieved considerable reputation as an institu- tion of learning. There have been various opin- jons as to the efficiency of its administration in time past, In certain respects, but it bas, during nearly the whole period of its history, had upon its Faculty men of uational reputation. The writiogs of Dr. BoisE and Ur. AMATREWS rank ‘thich smong scholars and in the literary world, sihite the alumuiof the institution justly feci that they have found in the classes of the Univer. aluable opportunities for echolarly acquisition. Yet wnen the utmost is said in these particulars that truth will wasrant, it still remains to be said that the institution has by no means reached the stendard contemplated by its founacrs. The question vow presented to our citizens is, therefore, whether the present op- portunity shall be seized to take up this work and carry it on to perfection. The plan upon which the present administra- fon is proceeding was intimated bv us in our recent article upon this subject. We are glad to know that President Exsox and his co-la- Borers meet with much encourszement in their appeal to the citizens of Chicago. We hope 1o Tear of their entire saceess in the special object they kave in band,—the payment of the debt,— and this will be the ioniag of still larcer efforts, the outcome of which shail be & univer- ity of which we may all be proud. —————— A very important rumor comes from over the sea, being repeated with insistence by that by no means sensational paper, the Jndependance Delge ot Bi 1s, to-wit: that thereistobe a chuoge on the throne of Holland. WiLLIas L, the present King of the Netherlands, is pretty old, and desperately enamored of bis | mistress, the Countess D' AMEOISE, a half-Arab beauty, whom he would bave married imme- diately after the death of Queen SormiE but for the remoustrances of his advisers. The sandal has been svery flazrant, and ii is alto- gether likely that the infatuat:d old monarch s williog 10 ablicare to cojoy her company. His son, the Prince of Orange, is ouc of the most Parision of Parisiaus, and leads a by no means repufable life in the gay Capital e would not hesitate to choose be- fore a throne: and the younger son, Prince ALEXANDEE, is an fuvalid, so that the crown is kely to pass 10 the collateral house of Nassau. the hedd of which is Prince HENkT, King WiLLiax's brother. He is to marry at Coblentz next month the Princess Many of Prussia, and acute peepers into the millstone of Contiuental volitics ceclare that, with this King and a Prus- gian Queen o the throne of Holland, the. next step will bea Zollverein, and then will come the absorption of Holland by Germany, Dpati- rally aud peacefully, and the German Empire will have a German Rbinc indecd and a eplendid coast upon the North Sea.

Citcaco, May 11.—The robbery of the Govern- ment throagh the Mueller contract for the stone- work on the Chicago Custon-House and Post-Office Poulding 18 one of the most disgusting steals ever brought to light. Of courae there is mo other rationdl conclusion than that the 15 per cent clause in the contracts for the crection of public build- ings was devised and adopted 1o facilitate stealing. Architect Potter snid of it: *‘Ism persunded that it is founded upon 8 mistaken principle, and that s0long as the profits arein proportion to the ex- pense of the work the department will find great difficulty in keeping the cost of the same within reasonable limits.”” 'This i8 2 very mild view of The case. A far juster view isthat the mon who Would propose such_a system must be either o aave or o fool. Exactly how much the Govern- ment has lost through the Mueller_contract frauds T3 9ot yet known. Butif it should prove tu be $100, 000 or 500,000, still the sum, smaller or larger, Is amere Dagazelle to the probable losses ek have occurred through other large Govern- ment contracts let under the 15 per cent system, — as tne New York snd Boston Post-Of- Secs and the State Department —at Wash- ington. On the Chicago _ bulldinz some o teds of men were employed parts of two o three yours, and eacn snd every one of these was compelled, on E:Xn of discharze, toidle his time away in order that the cost of construction might be Increased to the ntmost limit! And, ns the Dot syatem was in operation, for many years, in Boston, New York, \Washington, and’ all other cities where public boildings were in process of crection_under the supervision of Multett, it is Preshmable that thousands of men werc ‘idling Dot lime away, under compulsion, on euch structures, for no other Snmuse than the robbery e Government and_the enrichment of con- tractors, _ We are quite sure that the public by no s realizes the devree of moral depravily es- sential tothe perpetrationof these pecaliar frauds. They are altogetber unique. and they are mon- strously hideous. Let us analyze the thing knowa 5% 815 per cent contract: 'The agentof the Goy- ernment says toa stone contractor: 1 wish to construct a large building in Chicago. I propose first. to pay_you for the stone and, second, to allow you 15 per cent on the cost of cutting and Ccarvinz it as compensation for your services o hecvicing the operation. The contractor ac- cepts. a8 who would mnot, and proceeds to dump thousand of tons of stone in the cutting yords of Ihe Government, Then the Government émpluys 100 stone-cuttors at S3 per day each, and ecta them to work under :the supervision of the contractor. The contractor' protit per day on the lapor of these men is 5135. Butit id the same whetaer the men Jon full day's work, or a half day's work, or & uarter day's work. Verysoon the men observe That the hends of messes In the gangs of laburers work with extreme moaeration, accomplish next to nothing in_fact. Then theyare told that the otk is to be done with great nicety, and that they Voo mot expected toaccomplish moro than the heads of messes. Then some particalarly etupid work- Inan, who nsists upon doing u day’s work or a balt duy's work in eight nouars, 1s discharged. By this time there are none €0 stupid 88 DO to have taken the hint, and all dawdie over their work g8 men do wno arc under contract to kill Time. The resmit is that the 500 men consume four days in accomplishing the woriof oae day, Thereby increasing the cost of the stone-cutting job in the proportion of $900 to 33,600, ana in- Jveasing the perquisites of the contractor in the breportion of §185 to $540. In other words, U e @\ deliberately robbed of three d Jaoor out of every four it pays for, in order that it iy bo compelled to pay the contractor, who robs it. 15 per cent on the gross amount of the robbery. Vo lanauate is adequate to the just chacacteriza- tion of this monstrous rascality. The common thief who picks the pocket of the passer-by in the Lieet is a whitc-robed saint as compared With the agent of the 15 per cent contractor, who sneaks about among Government stone-cut- fers adviswng them to do mno more than two hours' work in a day, on pain of diecharze. The Superintendent of Coustraction who permits such roobery by **loating, " is necessarily corrupt orDlind, and tie Government Architect who opens the way to the perpetration of such frauds ought bo be indicted, tried, and punished for & delin- quency without excuse as it is without parallel. But the Architect in_this cass 18 not withoat re- sources. He waw kicked out of the Tregsury De- yurlmcnl, but, from the sanctuary of his elegant homie in Washington he continues to hurl profane anathemas at the heads of all who differ with him on the subject of architecture, or any other sub- ject. It was to be expected that little Muilett Irould defend his 15 per cent cotracts, and he does not dieappoint the expectation. In the face of late disclosures showing conclusively that enormous stezls have been perpetrated under the 15 per cent contruct system in the construc- tion of the Chicazo Government building, Mr. Siullet has the etfrontry to declare that hid con- tract with Mueller **was equitable and advantage- ous Lo the (overmment.” 1f a man's word is good T propostion as it is backed up Ly oaths, the word of Mutlet is perhaps better than that of any other manin A i But the tooth of time gol times demolishes word, oaths, and all, This is the case with Mullet's word in regard to the Chi- cago Custom-House stone. In his report of 1873, hesaid: **The cutstone for the bui iding is from the quarries at Buena Vista. The materizl i3 of the best quality, and the workmanship unrivalled.” The army of workimen now cmployed in putung a new face on Mullet's material *‘of tbe best quality *’ composing the walls of the Custom-House Euilding, but which rotted awey before the roof vwas on, is 4 sorry commentary on Mullct's wo: to say nothing of the oaths upon which 1t rests. Mullet s undoubtedly a great lar; it is known That he hasa stock of profanity sufiicient fora whole army of blasphemers; it remains to be in- quired whether be wasa pactuer with Mueller in Ris 15 per cent for the roboing of the Government, which he Mnllet, was paid to save, not rob.
