1t is proposed to put the price of adj
mission to Prof. Mendenhall's lecture at
the popular price of twenty-five cents,
thus putting it in the power of all to go
and take their families. The people of
Washington have proved themselves lib
eral in their encouragement of learning
and the enjoyment of talented lectures,
and we are pleased to see this liberality
answered in corresponding reduction of
prices. Science should not be exclusive,
but should be placed within the reach of
those of moderate incomes as well as Of
those of more means. We hope the peo-
pie will show the lecture folks that there
f Is more to be made by doing the fair thing
than by making their audiences too Sc
lect, by means of high tariffs. Let there
be rousing house, and we may hereaf-
ter expect that the cheap rate is perma-
nently established. Electricity and the
Telegraph are subjects in which all are
interested, and we need not remind the
people Of Whshin gton that Prof. Mem
denhall is the man to explain them. We
might add, in parenthesis, that the Pro-
fessOr, though now Ohio's pride, as a
scientist, is in perfect sympathy with the
laboring and producing classes, and is
one of the most splendid, all hail, good
: fellows in the world.
