The Mistakes Of Youth.

Red Wing Republican.
Bro. Heatwole, in the Mortified
News, in an article warmly commend
ing the recent free-trade, protective
tariff speech of Mr.. Cole, says: Henry
Clay, the great advocate of the pro-
tectiye system, said that Industries
which could not thrive with a protec-
ton of 20 per cent ought to perish -
Mr.. Heatwote is too yOnng to remember
personally the fact that the Democratic
party in Henry Clay'S time favored a
horizontal revenue of exactly 20 per
cent ad Yalorem, that Henry Clay, all his
life, opposed that tariff and advocated a
higher one for the protection of Amer
lean industry. If he had lived through
that period he would hardly have be-
lieved that Mr.. Clay said what is above
quoted. Mr.. Heatwole is said to be a
candidate for congress, and we shall be
entirely willing to support him as free
trader, a protectiOnist, or lOw-tariff
man, but the young men must not eX-
pect to make free traders of those old
protectionists who have already died as

place was full. Suddenly there was a

hanging up. She had lost something.

Everybody looked up and down, all

happened to catch hold of something on
the back of her dress. 1t was her
cloak, and it was tied around her waist,
and hung where she had thrown it off,
gracefully OH her hustle. There's an
awful lot of human nature in very

COLLEGE EDUCATION.

Is college education of advantage to
persons engaged in journalism? was
the pertinent question propounded by
Mr.. SMALLEY to the st. Paul Press
club at their annual banquet last night.
The history of journalism in this coun-
try wonld probably negative the propo-
sition. The great editors of America,
the men who have been the most con-
spicuous in journalistic work, as a rule.
have been men who never saw the in
side wall Of college or university:
while many others who entered jour
nalism, possessed Of most thorough col
lege educationS, never even rose
to the surface. And yet it would
seem to be bold assertion to
say that a college education is a

A THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
Four Young Men Afioat on Lake
Michigan

- CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-The agonized cries
of four young men who, after dark,
found themselves floating out into Lake
Michigan on huge cake of ice, brought
scores of people to the piers, at Thirty
seventh street, tonight. The four young
fellows. Peter PaulsOn, Thomas Ash,
James johnson and J. M. Whiteside,
had been out for holiday frOlic on the
ice. Not till o'clock on their return
did they suspect that the thaw had part
ed the ice from the shore and the mass
was breaking up and drifting away. A
sheet of water fifty feet wide
lay between them and the land,
and the gap was gradually widening
under the Influence of sharp wind
that began to cover them with spray,
while the rising waves dashed off great
sections of the ice flow upon which the
lives OF the quartette depended. For
over an hour men, women and children
watched helplesSly the four running
frantically about on the ice and family
heard their hoarSe shouts for as
sistance. Whiteside, who was I'M
able to swim, restrained his COM
panions with difficulty from jumping
into the freezing flood and attempting
to swim ashore. When finally boat
had been brought from the nearest
point, a long distance up town, it was
found to be leaking badly, and the
police who manned it had to put back.
By this time Whiteside was nearly
crazed from cold and fright, and the
others were in little better condition.
The police, not without peril to them
selves, managed, however, to take them
off safely at last. They were at once
carried to their homes and put to bed,
exhausted, but Supremacy happy.

disadvantage to man engaged in any
department of industrial or professional
life. If it be true that it is, the fault
must lie in the courses which are pre-
scribed by the college authorities. 1t is
a lamentable truth, which is more recog-
nlzed every day, that the average college
and university courses are devoted too
much to the study of impractical sub
JectS. For the average man this life is
too short and there are too many things
10 be crowded into it TO permit a useless
waste of time in the study OF
things which can have no practical
bearing on the duties of our respect
i've stations in life. The average col
lege graduate comes out OF school with
his head checked full of classics and the
higher mathematics, which are of no
more practical value to him in ordinary
business pursuits than they would be to
the man in the moon. The first four
years of his business life are usually
spent in unlearning what he acquired
during his four years course at college,
thus virtually making waste of the
best eight years of young mans life.
This to some may seem broad state
ment, and yet the experiences of thou
sands will verify it.
The question that Mr.. SMALI.EY pro-
pounded to the Press club last night is
one that is not confined to the field of
Journalism. 1t takes wider range and
bears upon every department of bust
ness life. If college instruction spoils a
young man and renders him unfit for
active business pursuits, then the queS-
ton naturally ariSes,i it best to abolish
the colleges? BY no means. But let
there be a reconstruction of college
methods. Let the college curriculum
embrace more of the practical and less
of the ideal. \ course of training which
would teach young men self-dependence
and Self-reliance would be an excellent
substitute for study of the dead lam
guageS. An opportunity to study
human nature and 20 acquire a knowl-
edge of the world would be of more
value to our boys than years devoted to
bordering over abStruSe problems in
mathematics, which are forgotten as
soon as the college doors close behind
them. This is an age of true Baconian
philosophy philosophy which was
comprised in two words. UTILITY and
PRoGRESS, and our educational meth
DDS should be made to conform with it.

Three Buildings Burned.
Special TO the GLOBE.

special 10 the GLOBE.
PRESCOTT, Wis, Jan. 22.-At about 3
o'clock this morning fire was discovered
in the vacant frame building south of
the Central house and owned by Louis
Jurgens. The alarm was given, but be-
fore large enough force could be col
lected the flames were under such head
way that they could not be checked,
and soon the sample rooms to the hotel
were wrapped in flames. From there
the fire spread to the hotel proper. The
crowd could do nothing, but try and
save the other buildings in the imme-
date vicinity. The fire was thus
checked, as no wind was blowing, but
the three buildings already mentioned
were burned to the foundation. The
loss Oh buildings is about as follows:
Joseph Reychent, Central house and
sample rooms adjoining, $1,000; Louis
Jurgens. building, 5000. At the hotel
some of the household goods and stock
of liquor were also burned. There was
no insurance OH any of the property
burned.

THE WEATHER SERVICE.

The service performed in behalf of the
peoples interests by the weather bureau
and signal service is little understood
and still less appreciated by the public.
1t is in fact one of the most important of
the minor departments of the govern
ment. The work performed by the OBJ
servers who are stationed from coast to
coast, and from our northern to our
southern boundary, is no holiday task.
1t is labor of the most arduOnS kind,
particularly for the brave fellows sta
toned at isolated and exposed points.
And it is costly service, too, but its re-
turns far more than counterbaiance
both the expense and exposure involved.
The service, which is the best in the
world, has been brought to degree Of
excellence that is simply wonderful.
By means of it the farmer living a
thousand miles away from a storm CEN
ter is warned of its approach and is
enabled to make provision toward Secur-
ing the comfort and safety of his
family and his stock. Railway mana
gers, warned in time. can make arrange
mentS for the maintenance of traffic
and the safety of their passengers.
Lake and ocean mariners, through
timely information of impending storms,
can reach port of safety Or prepare for
coming gales. In fact, there is hardly
single branch of business or COM
merce in which in some way the
weather bureau does not render marked
service. In the Northwest its efforts
are particularly noticeable. and its ben
efits especially manifest. In view,
therefore, of these facts. it is certainly TO
be hoped that congress will vote the adj
ditional appropriation asked by the
head of the signal service to extend and
improve the operations of the bureau.
1t is measure to which the North
western congressman particularly can
lend the weight of their infiu ence with
the assurance that they will be sus-
tanned by the public.
