UNIVERSITY ENTEssIoS.
Citizens OF this city will note with
pleasure that the lectures Ia the uni
veTsity extension course Will be re-
sumed this fall. Grand Rapids was one
OF tho lrst cities to organize an extern
slon center IN Michigan, and the popu-
larlly OF Us lectures last winter attests
the wisdom of continuing them this
year. Tnis community Is extremely
fortunate n being located 50 cOnyen-
lently near 10 such al intellectual cen
Ter as Ann Arbor. Ii has every oppor-
Iunity 20 listen 10 some OF the widest
known and most thoroughly informed
educators IN AInerlca-lncludlng spe-
ciaEsts, whose work has made them
known and respected, both IN tins
country and abroad. At the present
time the discourses OF Prof. Victor
Vaughan, dean OF the medical faculty,
will attract the most popular interest.
lie Will give Il course on bacteria, spe-
cial reference being had TO the disease
germs of cholera. Prof. Henry G.
Adams would probably attract more
attention If he should deliver course
OF lectures upon wages and prices, as
ne was one of the statisticlans and
economists who assisted III the prepare
ton OF tue report of the sub-commlt-
tee Of the senate committee on finance,
which showed that wages had IN
creased and the cost of living had d.
mlnished during the period following
the enactment of the Mckinley law to
the presen. time. Prof. Adams, how
ever. Will not do this. He will lecture
upon political economy. and will UNI
dOubtedly be received with as much
popular favor AS any OF the lecturers,
as his lectures are known TO De very
entertaining. He is recognized au
thority IN political economy circles.
The other lectures are Prof. Demmon
on English literature, and possibly
/ Prof. Mclaughlin on American history
and Prof. D'Ooge on Greek art.
VERY few intelligent laboring men
/ will commend the action of the Chica-
| 20 trades assembly in declining an in
vitation TO participate in the worlds
| fair dedicatory parade. The reasons
assigned for declining, with the accom-
panying outbursts of inflamatory social
! istic rant, will not appeal to the sense
of patriotism entertained by the great
majority of working men. Labor Is
/ too honorable to be disgraced by the
/ leadership of men who Will close their
eyes and turn their heads when cour-
teous recognition Is made of the ma
tional character of labor organizations.
/ ABOUT everything possible and i'm
possible has been attributed as the
cause for the cholera visitation but the
reason assigned by the Rev. jerks of
/ indianapolis Is more startling than
anything yet announced. He says the
cnoIera is forerunner of the second
coming of Christ. If so. it's a differ
/ eut kind OF forerunner than most
/ anybody would expect To come.
From the numerous collection of
cand dates for county offices the re-
I publcans will DO able to make wise
/ selections tomorrow. The convention
7 itself will differ from the Donnybrook

OyE of the most brilliant speakers in
I America, the Hon. J. Sloat Fassett, OF
New York, has been engaged to deliver
/ the address before the state conven-
/ ton OF republican clubs to be held in
I this city September 81. II Is a matter
for congratulation that the republicans
Will be 50 highly favored.
