THE NEW YEAR.

Once again We renew our GREETINGS to
our readers upon the advent Of another
year-.this time with grateful retrospect
of the past annual circle. and with moro
hopeful view into the coming future. It
has been the unhappy lot. Of individuals TO
mourn--the inevitable penalty Of mortality
the loss cf dear and valued friends; to
lament the failure Of enterprises, the dis
appointment Of expectations, or the reverse
Of fortune. But il is rare that there has
been 50 little of national disaster to chron-
icle, or 50 much Of widely diffused good
fortune in health, in bcuntiful crops in all
that is at the foundation Of peoples hap
piness and prosperity. Aud the old year
closes and the new one comes in IN glow
Of hopeful ext ectation that gives the hap
Piest atiguries for prosperous year. For
at length the storm Of sectional hate is lul-
led. The passions Of party are hushed to q
great extent. The tres a common broth.
erhood are once more admitted. The fires
Of comprehensive patriotism are again re-
kindled. Common purposes and common
interests are again acknowledged. Justice
and generosity, and fair dealing once more
take their places in the national counsels,
and We Of fse South, shut out for 50 long
from the sympathies Of the world, enslayed
when all others we're free. impoverished
when all else was prosperous, mourning
when all tbs world was rejoicing, can now
look forward cheerfully and hopefully int
future pregnant with good. ard signi6,
cant in promise.
That all these expectations may be rea,
lized, and that health aud happiness. ant
Individual and general prosperity may b
the happy lot Of all is our heart felt wish fol
all our readers.

incredulous II informed that a man
was choked to death by an oyster,
but still it is not beyond the range OF
possibility that it could happen. The
case about to be reported did not end

His face changed rapidly from pale
to red and from red to almost black
He was choking, without doubt, anc

OUR COLLEGE.

BY this 1 mean the college owned and
run by the people Of Kansas and for the
special benefit of those who expect to be
useful, earnest workers in the more COM
mon places of life. In fact it is an insti-
tuition located at Manhattan, and cher
ished by the State, that her sons and
daughters who do not expect 20 become
professional men and women may receive
a practical education that will fit them
for their life work. This is as it should
be. We have Normal Schools and q
University that prepare teachers and
professional men for their work, each
under the care and belonging to the
State. 1t is certainly right that the
more common laboring classes also
should have ample educational facilities.
The greater part of the people belong to
the departments of labor that are taught
in our Agricultural College. Not only
is farming a part Cf its educational bus
iness hut carpentry, smithing, shoe
making ant in fact, all the industrial
pursuits, are practically taught by ex-
perienced and competent men. Teleg-
raphy is also a department of the in
structions given. Horticulture is prac
tically and theoretically taught. Music
IS taught both vocal and instrumental.
A great many young ladies attend there
who have ample advantages to learn by
practice along with their mental studies
the use of all sorts of household machines
and even the use of that friend of hu-
manity-the cook stove.
Some of the States have so instituted
and managed their Agricultural Colleges
as to make them but farces or tailends
TO- the other institutions. But so far
Kansas has kept her endowment OF land
from the Government and its proceeds
sacred to the purpose for which it was
given.
But there is danger, or at least appre-
hension of danger to this valued COM
mon-folks college. There is an attempt
being made by some of the special
friends of the University at Lawrence to
absorb the Agricultural College or to
attach it to its extremity. Were this
done as they desire it would be much as
DR.. Howsley, the venerable ex-president
of our State Horticultural Society stated
at the last meeting, "but mere kites
tail switched about in whichever direc-
ton the kite moved" Now, We do not
want such calamity to befall this
school of the Industrial classes of Kan
sas. At the meeting just referred to
where DR.. Howsley spoke SO warmly
against t..is proposed invasion Of the
rights of the working people, the society
The Iola register., 1875-01-09

unanimously passed resolutions strongly
protesting any such consolidation Of
these institutions. Let the people be
awake and the next Legislature instruct
ed to act a. shall best serve the public
interest. Prof Riley, the great ento-
mologist Of Missouri, said at the late
meeting of the Horticultural Society at
Emporia, that he was obliged to say
"that the Agricultural College of his
own State was but farce-a humbug." !"
