UNIVERSITY EXTENSION.

There are great many things to be
said in favor of popularizing higher ed
ucatiOn, and extending facilities in an
intellectual direction to men and women
who cannot undertake the conventional
courses. This may be done by found
ing and endowing local institutions of
learning at various points throughout
the country or by holding out to stu
dents who work at home during such
leisure as they can secure, the
hope of diplomas and degrees in
recognition of their efforts. ANY
scheme which impresses ON peo-
pie the value of study, and calls at
tention to the fact that the mind has its
pleasures as well as the body. deserves
commentator. Lecture courses, read
ing clubs, associations for scientific in
vestigation, debating societies, high
schools. small colleges. the methods of
study provided under the modern name
of university extension-all these serve
a useful purpose and make for the
happiness and improvement of those
who take advantage of them.
But two things should be remem-
bered. One is that in none of these
ways can real university training be
had. and the other is that money is not
necessary to enjoy the best educational
opportunities which the country affords.
1t does not require large income to
take the regular course at Yale or Har-
ward college. 1t does not require any
income at all if the young man seeking
a degree has good ability, character and
a
and capable of improving himself will
find the doors of these Places closed to
him because he cannot pay his tut
ton, and hundreds of young men
are every year enrolled in their
catalogues who support themselves
entirely by their own efforts at
the same time that they are pursuing
their studies. 1t is better, of course, to
have means enough to live on during
ones course; and, if this is not possible,
even few hundred dollars at the out
set will be helpful. But really, neither
of these things Is imperatively needed,
and there are successful men all about
who fought their way to commencement
day without dollar OF capital to bank
on.
1t is an open question as to whether
the education which either Yale or Har-
ward gives is worth the trouble or the
time it takes. 1t is thoroughly unpracti-
cal, little visionary and suggestive,
rather than informing. But it has a
character peculiarly its own, which no
substitute can possibly possess. The
instruction elsewhere may be better,
the lodgings more comfortable, and the
food more palatable. But there are ira
ditions and associations about an old
college which impress themselves on
every one who comes in contact with
them. The memory OF great men who
are dead, the careers of living alumni
and the presence of famous scholars,
achieving in their particular lines, ere
ates an atmosphere which has real es-
sence of its own, and permeates the
views of the students breathing it. 1t
may not be better than another atmos-
phere, but there is no doubt that it is
different; and, while the man who has
not spent part Of his life in venera-
bic university town may never realize
it, he surely has missed an experience
which nothing else can duplicate.

THE HARVEST FESTIVAL.

The executive committee of the Peo-
pies party took a needlessiy gloomy
view of the contemporary situation
when it protested against the proposed
harvest festival" at Minnea polls be-
cause it might be calculated to depress
the price of wheat. If grain sells at
lower figure than it ought to, it is not
because there is any belief abroad that
surplus is at hand over the worlds
demand. Every one recognizes that,
after all which the bountiful har-
vest of the West can afford has been
garnered, there will still be a shortage
of many millions of bushels. The price
of wheat has fallen because the new
crop has been thrust upon the market
in greater abundance than can be as
simulated at once, and the farmer pays
the penalty which every man does
whose circumstances prompt him to dis
pose of his property without regard to
the actual present needs of the con-
sumeis. The capitalist who buys when
a commodity is offered cheapest and
holds until it has risen in value, because
1t Is required for consumption, gets the
big profit. The farmers themselves
might do the same, had they the means
and the business skill to follow this pro-
gramme also.
But even if wheat does not bring all
that is desired, there is no Disgusting
the fact that this is year of excep-
tional promise to all who are engaged
in agricultural pursuits. or who are in
terested in them even indirectly. The
yield in the Northwest is undoubtedly
above the average, and the crop failures
in Europe insure for it complete and
remunerative disposal. An individual
can disguise his good fortune if he
thinks the cry of hard times and pow
elty will increase his returns. But il is
not to be expected that whole commu-
nifty will. A conspiracy of a million
people, all agreeing to wear long faces
in order to bear the market, is an i'm
possibility if secretly they are rejoicing
in their hearts. A jubilee of some
kind is appropriate, and no place can
be filter for such project than Mime
apolis, because it leads the world in the
handling of grain. The press of our
sister city has twitted the GLOBE with
diSparaglng It's proposed celebration,
but such really is not the case. The
GLOBE made light of paper schemes,
founded OH nothing more substantial
than newspaper notices and resolutions
of business mems clubs; and it urged our
neighbors, if they wanted a festival or a
convention, to look to the guaranty
fund as the starting point.
This was good advice, and it has had
a stimulating effect. The Harvest Fes-
tival, it is now settled, will be go; and
popular enthusiasm having been ex-
cited, there is no question about the
success of the enterprise. The GLOBE
commends the idea, and predicts its
satisfactory contamination. There will
be display and enthusiasm worthy of
the occasion, and there could be no
higher promise than this.

A WAR CLOUD.

Sweden and Norway are on the out
skirts of the great European powers,
and not very imposing in magnitude;
but they are of interest. especially to
great number of people in this and
neighboring states. They are not in the
direction to which eyes would easily
turn for any unpleasantness or unpacifc
movements. But there is trouble brew
ing there. Sweden insists upon large
expenditures for coast defenses, which
Norway alleges have become too bur-
densome and not to be endured longer.
The cabinet OF that country, also, would
have independence in the management
of foreign affairs, and believes that it can
make coast defenses utterly needless.
Sweden is imperative, however, in its
policy, and language is thrown out that

His head it will ache

At night 10 worry and frebt.
He porrows from every friend
Until they refuse him to lend;
In time he becomes
To even his chomes
A nuisance, disposed TO the lend.
He looks no one straight in the eye;
Without ready cash he must buy
On tick and take tough,
Unstable slough,
And pay tor it awfully hye.
He isn't free man at all:
To those whom he owes he must Grail
And cringe and oDey
And hide from their way,
Disguised in bonnet and shall.
Without any system of guard
His money melts quicker than lizard,
And when il is gone
His watch he will pone;
For others he has to work huard
When old, not comfort he knows;
Dead broke" 10 the poorhouse he COWS
And suffers, of course,
The keenest remorse.
