suggestion Of your correspondent. "Pro
Bono Publico," in to-day's REPUBLICAN,
to open all the hydrants and spigots un-
til the reservoirs are emptied Of all the

and executed by the authorities imme-
diately. Already this foul water has pro-
duced summer complaint among children
cholera morbus generally. Tho water
now being used has been condemned by
the medical faculty, aud the various an
alyses show its poisonous character. The
mothers and children Of tho District are
already grateful to you beyond expression
for your noble efforts in this great cause
of humanity in having had the courage
first to denounce this outrage on public
health. They now cry aloud for the
opening Of tho hydrants to lot the poison
Gus water run of at once before u cholera
morbus epidemic sets in. If the authori-
tics will not act Immediately let the peo-
plo rise and do it themselves. There
need be no fears Of being fined for the
act, for self preservation is the first law

such resolutions, and the publication
of the same
The resolutions adopted by the stu
dents at that time, it is not our purpose
to discuss. They were criticised by
some of the Regents as being self-as
serting and dictatorial in their tone.
In so far as that is true, they were at
fault, and we do not approve Of that in
them; yet we think it would have been
far better had the Regents simply
passed them by, and not, acting under
a momentary impulse of resentment,
passed series of rules, one of which
is an unquestionable infringement on a
fundamental right-the right of petit
ton and the others either arbitrary OF
else meaningless.
But these rules are not only objcc-
tionable in themselves, but they are as
rules opposed to the spirit and letter of
the government of this institution.
1t is not sought to enforce right action
here by means of laws and penalties,
but to call it out by appealing to and
relying upon the manhood and woman
hood, the Judgment, and good sense OF
the students.
We deem the passage of these rules
unfortunate. There is no demand for
them no gain can come from their
enforcement. They will be constant
occasion for ill-feeling and distrust.
We trust the Regents will see the I'm
wisdom of their action in adopting
them, and take steps to restore that
perfect harmony which should exist
between them and the students.
E. W. Keyes, better known as
Boss Keyes," member of the Board
of Regents, and one of the men that
lobbied for Hiles in his attempt to or
ganize the Town of Grant last winter

advocate of the rule and now says 81

will have to leave the University. >

morning [ wished for all the good
things other selfish children wished
for. I dreamed [ was walking on a
stony pavement near great city. |

other revelry. as if there was festivities
in the city. 1t was dusk. A little
way ahead Of me, I saw woman
dressed in dark clothes, standing
beside a donkey seeming very weary.
Presently I saw a man coming hurr e lily
from the city, and said to che lady, [
cannot find lodgings. | went to every
door. There is no room for us there.
The lady sighed and murmured some
thing about the will of God. And
they moved to the side of the road
and into hole in the great gray rock
with which the road was boarded on
that side. Then seemed to get dozy
and could not see anything but dark
ness, Yes! | was alone in the dark.
How long I couldn't tell. But after
a while [ seemed to see something
where those people had disappeared.
[ rubbed my eyes and saw lighted
taper in the cave, in the rock The
lady was kneeling before crib, the
man standing close by. The donkey
stood on the other side Of the manger.
But in the manger on poor bed OF
straw lay an infant shivering and
crying softly. At first [ couldn't
understand what it said, for it was
speaking. And can you guess who
the child was [ knew it all at once.
[ cannot tell how That it was the
Infant Jesus, who's birthday we
celebrate every Christmas. He was
saying through sobs, "What are you
thinking Off" But he answered his
own question. You are thinking what
all selfish children think on Christmas
Eve of nothing but vanity and luxury
to satisfy your greedy tastes. But you
think not of Me who has come here
in the cold to suffer for you. And
He wept anew! and said. "What
will [ have for Christmas present

to give me their hearts. that is all [
want and [ will give them all the
goodies they will wish for, not only
Christmas but through all Eternity. y

sometimes low like murmuring and
lisping, then loud, high, glorious,

words, "qLoria an ercetsis." Peace on
