THE STATE UNIVERSITY.

The Hiawatha World: "rhe Kansas
University, seYenteen years old, is always
compared by its critics and enemies
with Michigan University, more than
forty years old. But the policy pursued
by the two states is very disimilar-

gan; here, sometimes, ennity and ma
Lightly.
"For the year just closing the Kansas
University has received from all sources
about $31 ,000-her enemies trying to
make the sum even less.
michigan University received from
interest on endowment fund, $4,000;
state tax, $4,000: naturalization and
contingent fees. 100000 This $147,OO
is supplemented by over $4,000 in
special appropriations. This shows the
different policy pursued by the two
states.
"Our university not only needs less
niggardly appropriations but also the
establishment of high schools, prepare
tory schools, all over the state. We
should have sixty in the place of eight
cen. The faculty OF our university have
labnred Tor the establishment of these
schools The press of Kansas and the
intelligence of the state is on the same
side, AMI victory is constantly coming.
'Just now the university is in danger
of being dropped into the political arena
and being kicked as a football between
the contending parties. The contest
will continue, to the damage of the uni
versity, until Glickism is killed at the
polls next year. Since Chancellor Mar
vim took the helm, eight
years ago, there have been
no internal disscnsIons at the uniyer-
slty. The standard of the college has
been raised every year; there has been
unity and harmony, and the attendance
OF students has more than quadrupled.
His resignation Is now in the hands of
the regents, and he insists upon Its ac-
ceptance. We suppose nc "must CO."
but Kansas will always be his debtor
for the great work he has done.
'In the end the right will triumph
and the university take its place by the
| side of the best institutions of learning.
Then how pitiful and contemplate will
appear these snariing Criticisms, this
mean opposition. aud these political

Prof. Sogard Thursday showed Us
a copy OF pamphlet OF sixty pages, en-
titled "Kansas," which he has lately
translated into the Danish language for
emigration purposes. The document is
e most valuable one for the purpose de-
signed, containing many useful facts
and figures relative to the resources Of
the state. II contains number of nota-
BILE illustrations, among which Is-One OF
the State Normal at this place, the State
University at Lawrence, the Agricultn-
raj college at Manhattan and the State
House at Topeka. In every detail the
original has been very diligently cop
led into languages whose pcssessors
will one day send a vast concourse Of
immigration to this country and especi-
ally to Kansas. There have been q. 900
copies of this pamphlet printed in the
Scandinavian language, and the same
number in German, all OF which are to
be sent abroad at once. To Prof Sogard
mainly is due the credit of this enter
prise. When the bill legalizing the
printing of these documents had passed
the senate In the last legislature and
gone to the house, where It was laid on
the table for dead, Mr.. Sogard, realizing
the value Of such publication tor both
his countrymen, and other foreign
netionalities, and the state at large

through with the above gratifying re
suits.

A VegetabIe Product,


Only used in AYKR's AGUE CURE, has
proven itself never falling and rapid
cure for every form OF Malariai Dis
order, Fever and Ague, or Chills and
Fever. No injury follows its use, and
its effects are permanent. It rouses
the system to q condition OF vigorous
health, cleanSes the blood OF malarial
poison, and imparts q feeling of COM
fort and security most desirable IN
Ague districts. It Is an excellent tonic
and preventative, as well as cure, of
all complaints peculiar to malarious,
marshy and miasmafic regions. The
great superiority OF AYERS AGUE CURE
over any other compound Is that IL
contains no Quinine, Arsenic, or min
eral; consequently It produces no
quinism or injurious effects whatever
upon the constitution. Those cured
by e are 1eft as healthy as IL they had
never had the disease.
The direct action OF Ayes AGUK
CURE upon the Liver and Digestive
Organs makes It . superior remedy
for Liver Complaints, producing many
remarkable cures, where other medi.

for the editor of the Wichita Eagle:
"Ben Deering is editor of a newspaper

manages another newspaper and
breaches for another church at Carter

City, and is now leading a camp meet

that the editor of the Eagle should re.
form before it is eYerlastingly too late.
How much better it would be for him to
quit blovisting 80 much about Wichits
and Sedgwick county; to stop stealing
editorials from THE NEWS and Other
good papers, and go to preaching and
holding camp meetings about the coun
try than to pursue his present wilfnl and
head-strong course. Let him conside
well the example of Ben Deering, ant
commence to do better at once.

We do not know as sorghum is To be-
come king, but that the product Of The
sachariue plant is coming to the front
in importance as an article of commerce
there is no doubt The present sor-
shum commission, headed by Professor
Collier, formerly of the department OF
Agriculture at Washington, is making
it exceedingly uncomfortable for DIR.
Loring, the present commissioner of
agricultural. The history of the war
over sorghum, which is AT pres
ent IN full swing and promises
to call forth considerable attcn-
ton from the next congress, is briefly as
follows: When DIR. Loring came into
control of the agricultural department
he found that LeDuc, his predecessor,
had made sorghum prominent subject
fer investigation and development. But
he, for one reason or another, after acur-
sorry examination of the merits of this
cane, pronounced il suitable for the man.
ufacture OF low and heavy grades of mo-
lasses. but not suitable for the manufac-
ture of high grade sugars. Thus he dis
missed the sorgum industry from the at
tentiOn of the bureau; but Professor Col
lier, of the same department, who had
given the matter careful in
vestIgation, was OF decidedly
different views as TO the
merits of the product These he ex-
pressed with such warmth in paper
which he read before the National
Academy of Science as to cali forth
sharp rcprimand from his superior, DR..
LorIng. The differences between the
two men attracted so much attention
that the National Academy of Science
appointed committee of experts to in
vestigate the matter and make report,
which they did in April, 1882, and
which was noticed at the time in these
columns. The results of their investiga-
tion agreed with those of Prof. Collier
and were therefore adverse to the opin-
ions Of DR.. Loring, who accordingly sum-
marily dismissed the question again by
quietly pigeon holing the report. Col
AACA was ACL1ONOO AIOl4 LLC
ment, but having defended the sorghum
interest so valiantly, he was offered the
leadership of a proposed sorghum COM
mission. His party have extorted from
DIR. LOring partial, and therefore IN
printed report OF the find
ings of the committee of experts which |
had been appointed by the National |
Academy of Science and had reported so
unfaY oTably for himself. and so favora- |
bly, for the deposed Collier. The sor-
ghum interest is further demanding the |
removal of DIR. LorIng as commissioner |
of agriculture, and SO much stir is like |
Iy to be made before the offended sor-
ghumites are appeased that the next |
congress will likely be called upon to |
take some action in the matter.

HIT AGAIN.

Wonders will never cease, sure, and
the question is beginning to assume
serious shapeas to where the advocates
of free whisky, often called personal
liberty" will turn for consolation. The
last Democratic legislature of Missouri
passed a stringent license law, known as
the Downing law. 1t was approved by
a Democratic governor, and has now
been decided to be constitutional by the
Democratic supreme court of the state.
"ThIs decision" says the Globe Demo-
Graf, with reference to the constitution
ality of the law, ana its application to
the city of St. Louis, sustains the meas
ure fully. 1t affirms the right
of the state To prohibit the sale of
intoxicating liquors aud to impose a
price for granting individuals permits
sion to do that which it has the right 10
prohibit The price thus paid is not a
tax IN the meaning of the statutes; but a
license. The law in question must be
regarded as a police regulation estab-
lished by the legislature for the preyen.
ton of intemperance, pauperIsm and
crime, and for the abatement of nuis-
ances.'" This decision in Missouri SO
soon after the establishment of the con-
stitiOnality of the Scott law in Ohio
Will doubtless strike terror to the ranks
OF the free whisky party everywhere.
