PRESIDENT ELIOT of Harvard, is of the
opinion that college sports are being car.
ried too far. His annual report just pub
lished, sets forth the dement's of what he
considers the excessively of sports, and
says:
'ln the highly competitive sports which
give rise to exciting intercollegiate con-
t~ests-namely: boat racing, baseball, and
football, there have been developed in re-
cent years some evils Of a serious nature.
NO sport which requires of the players
more than two hours a day during the
term time is fit for college use. No stu
dent a keep up his studies and also play
his full part in any n OF these three
sports as at present conducted. In the
game OF football the players have been
forced by public opinion to overtraiu and
overWork until there is great risk of in
jury and even death. To become brutal
and brutalizing is the natural tendency Of
all sports which involve violent personal
collision between the players, as in foot
ball."
In the matter of remedies the pres
ident suggests that there should be no
freshman intercollegiate matches Dor
races; no games, inter. collegiate or other
should be played on any other but
college fields belonging to one of the
competing colleges or in the college
town; no professional student should
take part in any intercollegiate contests;
no student should te a member Of a un-
lversity team or crew in more than one
sport within the same year; no football
should be played until the rules are so
amended as to diminish the number and
the violence of the collisions between
the players and provide for the enforce
ment of the rules; intercollegiate con-
tests in any n sport should not take
place oftener than every other year.

OFFICE OF COUNTY AUDITOR,
BISMARCK, n. D., February 2, 1894. !

Fargo is doing a considerable business
now in the line Of divorce, and if real,
live princes, princesses, dukes, duchesses,
and others of the nobility can be brought
to see the advantages of the town, as a
place to procure separations in cases
where the marital bonds are galling-it
will be quite a thing-inancially-for
Fargo.

The proposed remodeling of the sys

The proposed remodeling of the sys-
tenn of representation in republican
national conventions is a move in the
right direction, and it's results win work
good to the party in elections. The
chairman of the republican national COM
mittee is sapguine of the adoption of the
recommendation of the subcommittee,
which is to give to each congressional
district in the country one delegate, and
one additional for each 1000 votes cast
for the last presidential candidate of the
party. In the opinion of the Pioneer
Press and other republican journals this
system is more satisfactory than the old,
and party voters will be delighted. They
are weary with the spectacle of republi-
can conventions controlled by delegates
from states which cannot give one cleo
toral vote to the candidate of the party.
In the language of the Press, there never
was the slightest reason in logic or COM
mon sense for aprortioning delegates ac-
cording to population. 1t has now be-
come apparent that the practice is not
only unjust but dangerous. 1t is upon
the delegates who represent solid demo-
cratic constituencies that candidates1be-
gin to work long in advance, and by
these that the nomination is frequently
dictated. No Il wishes to deprive a
single republican of his representation in
the party's convention; but the system
which gives a republican in a state where
his party is helpless, ten times as much
voice as another republican in a state
where his party controls the electoral
vote is in the last degree absurd and in
furious. This is what every republican
hopes is about to be remedied.

The Following problem was sent to
Prof. Curtis of the Red Wing Com
mercial College last week for arith-
metical solution:
gentleman has a garden in the
form of an equilateral triangle whose
sides are each 200 feet. At each cor
ner stands tower; the height of the
first is 30 feet, the second 40 feet, and
the third so feet. At what distance
from the base of each tower must a
ladder be placed that it may just reach
the top of eachi And what is the
length of the ladder, the garden being
a horizontal planet
IL has been claimed by many quite
noted mathemasicians that the above
problem cannot be solved by arith
metic, but Prof. Curtis has mailed an
arithmetical solution and demonstra.
tor to the sender, thus establishing
the fact that his reputation as a math-
ematician is not overrated.
During his residence in Red Wing
the professor has received many prob
lens for solution, some of them having
come from places at remote distances
one coming from the Naval Acade-
my, Annapolis. Md. Mr.. Curtis has
ia no case failed to return satisfac-
tory solution

Thomas Ii. Carter, Chairman of the
Republican National Committee, was
in Chicago recently on his way home
to Montana. He is reported as saying:
1T is possible that the National
Committee, : it's regular meeting.
will adopt the recommendation of the
Executive Committee on the change of
representation in the National Conven-
sinn. The change recognizes the
RICH of the communities that gave tie
bunk OF tie vote TO the party to domi-
nate the choice of the convention.
Instead of two delegates from each
Congressional district we propose to
place il at one, with an additional
delegate for each 1000 votes cast in
the district for the last Presidential
candidate of the party. In the past
the action of the convention has been
controlled by the delegates from the
states in which there Was TO possible
chance of securing the electoral vote
tor nominee. The change will mini
mize the influence of the delegations
that are always given in consideration
for some bargain.
There will be some opposition from
the members of the committee from
the southern states, but as the new
basis is founded upon right and justice
| have no doubt of its adoption.

The times are decidedly out of joint
Tue last week in February made a
worse showing in some respects than
wa5 ever before known in this country.
Wheat reached the lowest price it ever
sold for. and this low price cannot
have been caused by what is termed
'overproduction," since the amount
raisel in 1898 according to the an
norlcement given out by the depart
nentof agriculture was only 300, 000.-
600 bushels as against $4,000. 900
bushels in 1892 and 900, 100000 bushels
in 1871.
The failures during the month OF
January 1894 numbered 20S0 with
liabilities aggregating S3l 100000
The total number of failures for 1923
was 15.50S with liabilities amounting
to 1892 l53. $40. sum larger by S275,-
100000 than the total aggregate of
failures for 1892. The loss to de-
positors in savings banks in the state
of New York alone are shown TO be-
S5I. 100000, comparing 1893 with 1892
Here are some figures equally start
ling:
For a period of tel months from
April 1892 to January 1898 inclusive
the volume of business as represented
by the bank cleaIings in sixty cities
of the United States was S5l ,720, 49,
224, from April 1898 to January 1894
inclusive. the amount as represented
by the clearings of the banks in the
same cities was S4l, $40 056.67l which
shows that business suffered to the
enormous amount of ten billions of
dollars in ten montbsl
Along what lines have democratic
promises come true! They promised
US better times. They predicted that
wheat would be 81 % bushel under
the administration of Grover Cleve-
! land.

An Aberdeen, Scotland, paper says
that one very singular feature in the
formulating of the tariff bill is that all
its promoters and indorsers are South
ern Democrats. Not a single Northern
or Eastern sta is represented. They
have not aske'. counsel from practical
men engaged in manufactures. The
Southern states are simply consumers,
not manufactures, hence their desire
for cheap goods. This will be but a
temporary benefit even to them, as
their surplus population, who could
not find work in tobacco and cotton
planting, and having to compete with
colored labor at that, emigrated East
and North to find work and good
wages. All this seems for the present
to have been lost sight of.

pests is that many of the farmers of
