REFORM IN COLLEGE EXPENSES
Increase Ia the Cost of an Edueation-An
objectionable system.
fU.n. r...tv Q


objectionable system.
iBsstm Hrrald1
The Improvement of college instruc-
tons in the last quarter OF a century
has been both rapid and significant.
The great institutions like Harvard and
ale have gained something like the
breadth and enrichment that belong to
Oxford and cambridge. They have led
the way in the advance movement for
u liberal education, and a hundred in.
ferior institutions have followed their
example. This is a great ga n, fol
which the whole country is thankful.
But the increase in college expenses,
which are now nearly double what they
were twenty-five years ago, is not a cor
responding gain, but a serious burden,
both TO the colleges and to those who
desire to educate their sons.
some increase in tuition is to be ex-
pected as n return for the increased
facilities furnished, but this is no
ground for complaint. 1t is legitimate.
The present cost for the average student
Mt Harvard and Yale is 81, 900 a year.
He cannot 90 through college respect
ably at a much lower rate. This is
twice the sum that it cost in 1860.
The strictly college expenses cannot
now be more than a third in excess of
what they were then; the cost of living
is not more than a third greater, and
the increased expenses must represent
things which are not set down in a col
lege education, but purely adventitious
to it. They stand for athletics, for
boating, for luxurious living, for class
dues, which are established by men who
have plenty of money and impose their
social habits upon men who are con
paratively without means.
There seems to have grown up IN our
leading colleges a system by which
students are co compelled to put out money
freely for this, that and the other thing,
which have nothing to do with the ends
for which one goes to college. The class
decree this or that, which means that
the wealthy men in the class dictate 1t,
and those who do not fall in with the
plans of the ruling men, and pay their
part, are severely snubbed. This is the
spirit that has gradually crept into
many Of our best institutions, and has
run up the expenses to a point where
the cost of a four years stay in college
has exceeded the means of man who
intend tho higher education for their
sons. This explains the increased ex-
penses of the college course, and reveals
a state of things that ought not 10 be
encouraged.
( our institutions of learning mean
anything, they are intepded to make
men Of education the leaders of thought
and society in democratic communities,
AM the men who usually develop iato
leaders are the elf.madc individuals,
w-o trace their origin TO humble and
horest LOmes in the country. The best
ding that our col cges can do is to in
crease the facilities for the education of
these men. They make the bone and
sinrw OF the counlry's greatness, and
the excellence of our colleges has been
that alma mater could point to some of
our strongest men in the yarioss walks
Of life. and say that they were her chill
dfcn The large increase in college g T.
penses is n serious obstacle in the edu-
cation of these men.

Newspaper property in Chicago is
far better than in New York. Mr..
Whitelaw Eeid, editor of The New York
Tribune, remarked during his late visit
to this city. The field here is unlim-
tied, while VIC can scarcely go fifty miles
in any direction without Gneountering
opposition. asst there is Boston, west
Philadelphia, and north Albany, where
local pride keeps up excellent journals.
Here there is no opposition in the west,
and acme in the northwest until within
a short distance Of ST. Paul and Mime
apolis. Fast and south q broad
held stretches out which makes
Chicago the garden of the newspaper
business and its papers unsurpassed.
In New York the cutting Of prices to
2 cents seems to be cramping tho papers
which went into Il. and the result is be
coming noticeable. remember Horace
Greeley's saying: 4 always exneet to
be poor myself, but | want The Tribune
to be rich HS followed il, too, in his
career as its great editor. While spend
ing little money himself, he never spared
expense for his paper when money
would get The news. The mistake Of
the New York papers has been in cut
ting down their incomes so that their
expenses must be considered, gripping
them in a vital point.

The Only two great commanders now
living who faced each other in making the
thrilling and crimsoned annals Of the late
civil war, are Gen. Joseph f. johnson
and Gen. William r. Sherman. Grant
met Lee. Joseph aud Sidney johnson,
Beauregard, Buckner, Bragg and Penn
bcrton in battle, as chief commanders,
and of them Joseph +. johnson, Bcaure-
gard and Buckncr still survives,
Meade. who met the terrible shock of
battle at Gettysburg, was borne to the
City Of the Silent within a short time Of
the imposing Southern pageant that com
mitted the dust ofLce to mother dust and
Thomas and Hood, who fought the last
great battle OF the war At Nashville, both
sleep the dreamless sleep of the dead.
Sherman and johnson alone remain of
the great commanders who locked horns
with each other in the fame Of battle.
Their campaign from Chattanooga to At
lauta, and from Atlanta to the sea, was
the most brilliant of the war, and they
arc the only two great commanders who
are left to ST down and talk their battles
over, as they often do in the hearticst
good fellowship
OF the many commanders of the heroic
Army Of the Potomac, none remain with
the single exception of Gen. Mcclellan.

Now THAT the newspapers who so I'M
scrupulously advocated the losing side in
the last presidential election, have so got
into the habit of talking about and trying
to ridicule the presidents rule of often
sive partisauship, as a proper cause for
making removals, the remarks Of that
staunch old Democratic organ, the Aba
ny Argus, on that subject, are very much
IN order. The fact that Secretary Man
ming is said to be one Of the owners Of
the Argus, does not lessen the signifi-
canoe OF the article, which opens thus:

There are towns and cities and neighbor-
hoods IN which ostracism, by Republicans,
has been carried to such an extent that
the facts would be startling II they were
to be accurately stated.
Speaking of the young men who choose
to join the Democratic party, the Argus
goes ON to show where the offensive
craftsmanship has been made TO shine;
The line OF discrimination would be
drawn against him If he engaged in mer'

CyRE O PILES

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense
of want of weight in the back, loins and
lower part OF the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he has some affection
Of the kidneys or nelghboring organs. At
times, symptoms o~findigestion are present
iatnlency, uneasiness Of the stomach, etc.
A moisture like Precipitation, producing a
very disagrceable itching, after getting
warm, Is a common attendant. Blind,
bleeding and itching piles yield at once to
the application of Dr. Bosanko's Pile
Remedy. which acts directly on the parts
effected, absorbing the tumors. allaying
the intense itching, and effecting a per-
manent cure. Price 60 cents. Address

The BeRuties Of Mexican Feather wor
iCor. San Antonio Light

Inc hehutfes OF Mexican Feather Nor
iCor. San Antonio Light
While in Mexico | tried hard to find
u how they made the lovely birds on
cards which they offered for sale on the
streets. A friend took me to the house
of one Of these artists. 1t was a little
hovel, where he sat on the mud floor and
toiled. But when he heard us coming
he put away all his work and would not
let us see it. He was an Indian, with
brown skin and black, straight hair. lie
wore ragged clothes and had an old
blanket TO keep him warm at night.
/ oor rs he was, no money would tempt
him to show us the secret process he
had learned from his father, which had
been kept in the family for hundreds OF
years.
Great skill is required to produce a
perfect picture. First, the Indian traces
on the card tho outlines Of the body of
the bird in wax, Just enough for the
feathers to stick TO. Then he begins at
the lower part and places them on, one
at a time, one row tapping over tho
other as a slater lays states. lie works
very slowly and patiently. Perhaps
this is the secret of his perfect work,
and the reason that no other people
have been able to equal him. Tho re-
suit Is u bird that looks rs though it
might sing or fly. The eyes are made
with small glass beads, and the bill and
feet are painted so nicely that they ap
pear to be part Of the bird. Then he
paints a twig or branch for it to rest on,
or makes II from n feather, and his
work is done.

The Penalties and Perils OF Property.
charleston News and Courierl
There are real trials of soul and spirit
that come with prosperity. The more
hardy traits of character do not always
thrive in an atmosphere Of ease as un-
der the constant stimulation of noces-
sity. Even when a man has earned his
money or his high position b. persistent
effort he may find himself more slothful
and less enduring, more earthly and less
self-denying, more duly satisfied and
less high in his ideals in the lap of lux
ury than when he fought for his life,
inch by inch, with the stern proved foe
despair.
In his poverty man dwells upon the
great. good things that may be wrought
by riches. Too often in his wealth he
hnds the small. unworthy things more
potent to occupy his mind. The pros
porous man Is sought out by the multi
tude, is made to feel the falsity of
many things through the trying test
OF wealth, Is beset and wearied with an
inlnity of cares cast on him and with
the cold resentment of those who CON
slider every dollar of his income a dol
lar taken from theirs. His charities
ARE treated as q matter of course, his
denial of any petition is magnihed into
an evidence of contemplate meanness,
his thrift is called penuriousness, his
generosity extravaganza. Certain So
cial requirements accompany wealth
and station, and ii a man dreams that
by attaining eminence he will escape
care he makes n sad mistake.
