THE LEGISLATURE MUST ACCEPT.


1t should be noted in passing that the law
called for the assent to it of the several states
by legislative acts. This assent, and the itali-
cized portions above and below quoted, indi
cate that the letter and spirit of the law gives
the Legislature of each state complete power
over the fund. Thus the Legislature may give
the fund to an institution and subsequently
take it away from that institution and give it
to another college if, in its wisdom, such
change will better fulfill the purpose of the
act. This is a most important consideration,
as will appear later.
Then came the Hatch experiment station act,
approved March 2, 1887, ITO establish agri-
cultural experiment stations in connection with
the colleges established in the several states,
under the provisions of an act approved July
2, 1862, and of the act supplementary there
to-" This provides for an annual appropria-
ton of 900 to each state for an agricultural
experiment station to be department of said
colleges. The Hatch act provided:
That, in any state in which two such colleges have
been or may be established, the appropriation here
matter made to such state or territory shall be
equally divided between such colleges unless the
legislature Of such state or territory shall oheree d.
rect.
The Hatch act also contains the following
proviso and section:
That in states having colleges entitled under this
section to the benefits of this act and having also ag
Ticutal experiment stations established by law sep
arate from said colleges, such states shall he author
ICED 10 apply such benefits experiments at stations
established by such states; and In case any state

1t will be noted that the total sum required
in Vermont to permanently establish and oper-
ate its agricultural and mechanical college calls
for the payment from the state treasury of
only $4,000. This is only fraction more than
81 for each farm in the state. 1t is only about
one-quarter of per cent of the value of the
annual farm products in Vermont. Certainly
the state can afford to make an investment
which promises such vast returns for such
minute outlay.

Smith and Godfrey Will Have Their
Glove Contest Tonight.
A scientific battle with soft gloves will
be contested tonight at Cronheim's
Theatre, Hoboken. 1t is to be q twenty
five round go between Ed Smith, Of Den
yer. and George Godfrey. the well known
clever colored fighter of Boston. who has
defeared a score of crack heavy weights
Both men are exceedingly clever and
both are in perfect condition. Eastern
people are familiar with Godfrey's ability
as a scientific, strategic and hard hitting
pugilist. With a winning record TO sup
port his skill the colored man enjoys the
confidence of the Boston sports, who will
back him for big money. They say
1--WE know Godfrey. He has shown us
what he can dc. Smith has yet to show
what he a do. We prefer to put our
money on the man who has shown us
something"
Smith whipped La Blanche in a punch,
kncked out Mike Cleary and Tom DAILY
and made a great stand OF five rounds in
front of Peter Jackson. When only nine
teen years old he proved himself too clev-
err for Jack Burke, whose skill with the
mitts is well known. Cunning Jack en-
gagged him to travel with a combination.
The Irish lad" and Smith did the wind
up at each performance.
The show travelled westward from Chi
cago. BY the time it reached Omaha,
having made a few stops. Burke and the
public knew Smith was the cleverer of
the pair and Burke found it convenient
to discharge Smith. Since then Smith
has developed into a powerful man of
about $50 pounds. During his prepare
ton for the present match he has had the
advice and assistance of William Null
doom, Mike Cleary. Jack Ashton aud
Jake Kilrain. So careful a financier and
so good a judge of boxers as Muldoon
offers to back him for $1,000 of his own
money. A better expression of confidence
could not be made. All indications favor
a rafting contest that will decide a lot OF
money.

Farm Mortgages.


The continual harping of the Demo-
cratic press upon the depression of agIi-
cul ure and the mortgage indebtedness of
the farmers throughout the West, has a
direct tendency 10 impair the farmers
credit and to increase the rates of interest
to borrowers. This effort to create false
impression as to existing facts is per-
sisted IN for the sole purpose of drawing
the farmers to the Democratic party, pos
sibly without stopping to think of the
bad effect such course Is sure to have.
Such an effort directed against any bust
ness or dvocation of life would have the
same ad effect, and would inevitably work
injury to the interest so attacked. What
business man or mechanic in any com
munity could withstand such system attic
effort to depress his business and
destroy his credit? If people will
stop to think seriously TREY Will
discover that the farmers of Hamilton
County have been as successful as q whole
as any other class, and thi they are
gradually and surely lettering their con-
dition. OF course there are individual
exceptions, as in all general rnles, but
the farmers, with all the disadvantages
of crop failures and low prices, are as
we'll of as the majority Of people engaged
in other callings, and We believe greater
per cent. of them succeed in making n
good living and of saving something
every year than the most of people Gu
gagged in other branches of commercial
or productive industries. Take it, for
example, right here in Webster City.
There are men here who have been in
business for twelve, tif cen and twenty
years who are not as well fixed" as many
farmers who began in the county with
far less capital. The business mans
time and capital have been employed in
dustriously all thes3 years, and yet he
does not seem TO be much better off than
when he started. AS in the case of the
farmer there are exceptions to this
rule but upon the whole the farmers
average of success is higher than that of
the business man. Come to Webster
City on any public occasion and see the
large number of farmers families who
come to town in comfortable carriages
aud buggies, whose dress and general ap-
pearance give unmistakable evidence of
thrift and prosperity. and { will be seen
at once that no class are more surely
keeping pace with the growth and adj
vancement of the country than the farm
ers and this effort to make 1t appear for
purely part purposes that they are inn
poverished and depressed beyond all
other classes is simply absurd End mis-
leading, and has direct tendency to I'M
pair the farmers credit and subject him
to great injustice. We are glad the farm-
ers, as n class, are doing as we'll as1they
are, and believe they are intelligent
enough to see the purpose that impels
party managers to the course thew are
pursuing TO enlist the farmers sympathy
and catch his VOTE Webster City (l0uG)
