THE QUARTERLY MEETING,
(Scrutator.)

Any one questioning lhe capability of the mem.
bers of the Pieran circle to lay aside their
weighty studies and enjoy themselves to their
hearts content for an hour or so. once in every
three months, should have been at the meeting of
that body which was held in the chapel of this in.
stitution on Sunday last, when his doubts would
have disappeared even as the mists in the valley
fade before the rising sun.
1t is of the bylaws of the circle that each
quarterly meeting be devoted to miscellaneous
exercises: that is any member is permitted to
give recitation, song or, to read special pa
per on any subject, comic, sentimental, or reli-
gious. This helps to a considerable degree to re-
lieve the monotOny of continued study and is
much appreciated and availed of by the members
The subjoned program. which had been prepared

THE vICE.PRESIDENT'S ADIEU.

THE vICE-PRESIDENTs ADIEU.
Mr.. President: Owing to the fact that was lot
aware of my release occurring before the meeting
of Jan. 10. wish to convey to the members of the
circle through you my very sincere regrets. use
this term with propriety in this instance because
am disappointed in not spending half hour with
the Exchange Editor (although have had sew
eral half hours with THE MIRROR editor and am
still alive). or finding out what the son of Erin
told his shipmate at sea. say am sorry that
will not be present to hear all this and other
lectons not emitting the productions of our
native poet-but 1 am very happy in the other re-
spect that have ceased to be a ward of the state
of Minnesota. fully expected to be present at
this meeting. and when learned that would be
released sooner than calculated, | assure you
that did not ask the Warden to allow me to
main until spring.
1 of course resign the office Of vice. president
and while 1 am sensible of the fact that the men,
bers of the circle have conferred honor on me
by elevating me to this distinction. wish it to be
distinctly understood that 1 am not candidate
for reelection.
am of the firm belief that my release came at a
very opportune time, because there is a very
grave doubt in my mind as to what the ultimate
outcome would be were 1 ever asked to preside
over another batch of class reports. One member
generously told me ought to be hung, while an.
other expressed his regret on my not having two
years more to serve so that he could nominate me
for president next time. Both were doubt hon.
est in their wishes, but, Mr.. President L have
been unable to fathom in my own mind, to which
one l should feel under most obligations. There
fore my escape was timely to say nothing of what
our "hustling" secretary may have had in store
for me- Allow me to suggest, parenthetically that
the members had better keep a sharp watch over
the American flag during this American Year,
you are liable to suddenly it decorated with
a few green tints by the secretary. He is loyal
Irshman" and unless mistake it, he will glory in
the distinction.
Seriously speaking (for my five minutes must
be nearly up) wish to express the sincere hope
that every member of this circle will find much
profit in the course of readings, as I can honestly
say that have found-and the very best wish
that can leave you all circle. and as individ-
uals, is that the future will be brighter. far
brighter than ever was the past. and may all sue
cess attend you. Sincerely Yours.

THE SILVER QUESTION.

Third party leaders are constantly
misleading the uniformed, onnearly all

they are trying to do as 10 the silver
question. They are asserting that
Democrats of the present Congress
defeated the silver coinage bill, which
is not fact. VIVA, they did do in the
House. WAS simply TO postpone acton
on free coinage until December, which
is only a few months of. Their rea-
sons for doing so was, that if the bill
had been passed before the November
elections. it would have endangered
pafiv success. and silver being of mi
nor importance did not wish to take
chance of losing everything in a vain
effort to pass the measure, when the
Republican Pfe1idcIt had indicated
that he would veto it.
1t is estimated that free coinage
would Increase our cit uiatlg me

the millionaire mine owners would
reap most benft from it, We of the

ordiDg a little relief.
As statistics show that the farmer,
and consumers of this country lost

the enormous sum of one billion dol
lars, which is equal to over sixteen
dollars per capita, or eighW-fye dol.

FUN OR FOLLY.

Why is a tariff imposed on imports :
To protect American manufacturers.
How does itprotect them?
It enables them to get higher prices
than could be obtained, except for the
tariff
Why do manufacturers fear re-
duction of the tariff?
Because it means a reduction of pri-
ces.
If the tariff did not increase prices,
what would be the consequences?
The manufacturer could not get any
more for his goods.
Does the Mckinley bill increase the
du.y on pearl buttons?
/ Greatly; from % per cent. to %
| per cent. and p cents per line. On
an average the duties have been
! luadrupled.
What has been the elect
! If our Republican friends are to be
believed, prices have fallen, and our
people are getting buttons cheaper
than ever.
Then the decline in prices mus
have ruined the manufacturer?
There is some difference Of opinion
concerning the condition of this in
! dustry. Yesterday we quoted from
one manufacturer who said that pear
buttons could not be made in thi
country except by convict labor. Blu
here is another witness, himself {
