Ahna rests his record as a reformer Ln his State on tho establishmont of two splendid colleges, ono for wVomen at Rock Hill, and the oth br at Fort Hill, the latter boing appropriately enough the home of his one-time prodocessor in the Sonate, John C. Calhoun. Mr. Tillman, who has hoon as signed to the Naval Committe, has nlow in hand a bill, tho object oft which is in general terms to fsup ploment tho work donio at tho Na val Academy, by proper instriuc tion at the agriculturll 1111(1 1110 chanical colleges of the United Statos. One of tho best of those is the Clomson College of South Carolina. This bill it is understood, will receive thlio Support of many of the Senators, and especially of Senator Squiro, of Orogon. Within the next fow wooks a number of woodon war vessols oil Atla1tic coast will b0 disposed of in someI way, an(d it has been sug rosted tliat :their machinory be utilizoa at some of the leading Scientific collogos. Of the vessels that must go are tho Franklin and the 'Wabash, wvhich might bo sont for illustritivo purposes to a Vir ginia and Massachusetts collego. The scopo of the hill is some what larger than t-his. In addition to oncouraging tho students, n crosasing tlio oflicioeicy of the Na val Acadomy by bringing tho ii stithiution into fiendly rivalry withi other sciontific colleges aiid pro viding i naval ongineering rosorvo without cost to the gove'(rn1mol'it, tlhore is atiotlier educitionil foa luro in Clhoe hill.
