Lincoln in 1860, Hayes in 1876 and
Garfield in 1880 got into the presiden-
tial chair as Gov. Cleveland will, with
ont the consent of half their fellow
citizens, all being minority presidents.
John Quincy Adams, who was elected
by the house, and Hayes, who was
elected no one knows how, were the
ONLY presidents who did not lead in
the popular vote. In the former case
Jackson had plurality over Adams
and in the latter Tilden had an undis'
puted majority over all.
In the same connection the Gto6'
institutes comparison between the
voting population and the actual mum
Der of votes cast, which shows sur
prising number of absentnes from tn

only 40 per cent. of the qualified voter
cast their ballots, while in Rhod

Champion: among other "kansas
thingsn which it is duty to be proud
of, is the State University. 1t has a
fine building, situated on an imposing
height. overlooking one of the loveliest
prospects Of mingled town and coun-
try to be seen in Kansas. 1t Is yearly
sought by an increasing body of STU
dents, and the alumni are-now becon-
ing quite numerous, but an investlga-
ton of some figures recently given to
the public, shows that the glory at
taching to the State through the pos
session of such University is very
economically sustained. COMPARED
with the Universities of the States OF
California, Minnesota, Missouri, Mich
igan and Iowa, our University stands
lowest in point of endowment; receipts
from endOwments receipts from stu,
dents receipts from all sources; ana
pays its chancellor and professors the
lowest salaries. At the same time IL
stands fifth in point of attendance.

THE OLD YEAR AND THE NEW.

The year that died last night was
heralded by almost numberless proph-
cts of evil as one that would be full OF
woe and calamity. i'll luck to every
nation upon the earth was predicted
with the confidence of profound con-
viction. And although the details
have been neglected in some cases, it
must be admitted that these predic-
tions have been in the main fulfilled.
AS pointed out by the Atchison Cham
pion.
England is suffering from dull, hard
times; the usual amount OF Irish dis
content, and the expense of a military
movement in Egypt which seems to
have no adequate reason or compen-
sation.
In Russia, the Nihilists are still at
work, and on their new line of opera
lions seem more formidable than ever.
The assassination of an occasional Off
cial is no longer heard of, but the coun-
try is flooded with Nihilist publica-
tions, and the army is honeycombed
with what i'm Russia is called treason.
Germany is feeling the weight ofthe
enormous military establishment; the
iron rule of Bismarck is becoming irri-
tating: the army is not the idol it was;
there is talk that the ranks are thin.
ned by suicide-and then it costs SC
much.
Spain, always miserable, is just now
more miserable than ever, owing to
the health of the wretched King; anC
the prospect of a revolution.
France, which might be happy, ha:
become involved in a foolish war will
China, and having got in does not
know how to get out. Hence blood
trouble and taxes.
The Kingdom of Italy, with thu
best intentions, is hampered by very
poor, ignorant population, heavy tax
es and the cholera.
Our own land of the free, is the LAM
of the idle and penniless to
greater degree than it has been 70
years.
All these, however, are national ca
lamities, and in comparison with ISIS
the past year seems to have brough
relatively few blows that strike at th
individual. The year 1888 was crow6
ed full of railroad accidents, flood
fires, ship wrecks, explosions, cyclone
earth quakes, pestilences, snow slide
tidal waves, and every other natur:
and unnatural accident and phenom'
non that could take life and destro
property. In that respect the yea
that is now ended has been less calan
itous. Let US hope that the New Yes
will be still kinder, and that it may |

pose them, Happy New Year.

rest. The said African appeared at
the door with a pistol and shot gun
and said he didn't want to be arrested.
The valiant Constable and his aid lift
ed their hats and saying, "All right;
that settles it," retraced their steps to
the city. Here they armed posse of
brave and valiant citizens and again
sailed forth to make the arrest. The
African again met them at the door
and upon their call to surrender, coolly
took ain over his knee with his pistol
and fired. Part of the posse had been
sent in on the flank to provide against
any such emergency as this, and his
fire was promptly answered by load
from shot gun which sent some shot
through his coat and drove him into
the house. The valiant Constable then
laid siege to the castle and was just al
the point of ordering an assault along
the whole line when flag of truce
!, was hung out at the window and the
enemy was tltlI III. 4hC hSSio "os
disarmed, handcuffed and brought by
the Sheriff, with the aid of a specia
guard, safely to lola, where he now
lies in jail-another t6ibute to the
shrewdness and valor of Constable
Herforth. Seriously, however, Il
seems that the length to which an of
ticer can go in making an arrest for
misdemeanor depends very much, il
the opinion of the liquor men of Hum
boldt of whom Mr.. Herforth seems tt
be an especial pet, on what the misde
$ meanor is. They cannot find words
strong enough to express their con
: demnation of an officer who shall ven
ture any force, even when resisted, il
arresting a man charged with violat
ing the liquor law. But they cal
cheerfully furnish all the men ant
shot-guns necessary to arrest darkey
charged with simple assault.

A oUANDARY AND A PRAYER.

To advertise 'em. or not to advertise ZEN,
That is the question.
Whether it's better for the editor
To hiring a thousand curses on his head
BY "writing up'' these dimpled, dainty dam
sells,
or say nothing of their glowing charms
And by ignoring, 'fend them? To ofend-to ig-
nore,-
No more !; and by ignoring say we end
The bitter taunts the thousand harsh reproaches
The editor is heir to-'tis contamination
Deyoutly to he wished. To write-to ignore -
To offend in either case -ay, there's the rub
For in the after years what woes may come
When We have shulllcd of this single life,
Must give up pause and make us look
A little out For who would ever dare
To venture on the matrimonial sea
With one whom he at one time had offended
To brave the angry squalls so sure to follow,
The clammy biscuits and the cold potatoes,
The muddy coffee and the feeble tea,
The glucose and the oleomargerine,
And, more than these and worse than all o
these,
The querulous complain is, the scoldinS tongue
That make mans life burden-who, we say,
| Would run these risks when all men know
| ssReyenge is sweet" especially to women?
Uncertainty thus makes us quake with fear,
| Well knowing that an equal fate is ours
Whether we do, or 10 not, advertise them.
| And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied DER with the pale cast of doubt.
| And leaves us in quandarY.
