This newspaper has frequently pointed
but the ridiculous proportion that the
number OF students who are able to attend
school at the Rhode Island College of
Agriculture and Mechanic Arts bears TO
the number of professors tnat the State
pays TO teach them.
As already pointed out, from the latest
catalogue, OF the III pupils at the school,
only go are pursuing the regular courses.

ulously top heavy as regards faculty as well

of only a handful Of pupils and IL gradu-

the little district school in some back
country section.
Another point is OF interest in this con-
nection: In the catalogue of 1898, there

students OF all kinds, OF whom 60 were
taking the regular courses-five more
than are on the rolls in the catalogue OF

President Washburn, in his report, made
the amazing statements that "in order TO

imperative that we have sufficient funds
to add TO our teaching force, which is at
the present time overworked

A LESSON IN BOOKKEEPING.

Congressman Hansborough of North
Dakota or Of some rotten borough oil
that bogus state, with bogus population,
with about enough bogus citizens 10
send q bogus Hansborough to congress-
we repeat the aforesaid Hansboroush'
amused himself excessively by asserting
during the Sunday session OF congress
that England will never make war upon
the United States, because it has already
captured the United States financially,
has undersold our cotton spinners and
made $S,0O0,000 by the purchase OF
one Of our batch Of bonds.
Mr. Hansborough's memory is exceed
ing limited in casting up our account with
England. The items he mentions are a
mere bagatelle compared to the amount
of money England has made out OF the
United States by reason of the action oil
the Republican party in totally destroy
ing our merchant marine and by these
laws permitting England to absorb and
monopolize our ocean carrying trade
England has made money enough out Oh
this carrying trade that the Republican
party handed over to it after wrecklng
every freight carrying vessel in our naval
marine by obnoxious laws, which the
Republicans have always prevented the
Democrats from repeating, to enable TINS
tight little island to buy every bond the
big United States may offer for years to
come. Mr.. Hansborough of North Da-
kota ought not to forget such large items
in the balance of accounts between the
United States and Great Britain. III
these obnoxious laws destroying our mer-
chant marine, the Baltimore Clippers
and the finest feet then sailing on the
ocean, passed by the Republican party,
had never disgraced our statute books,
Great Britain would not have had the
yold to plank up for United States bonds,
lor would the United States have had
10 20 into the market as a borrower from
foreign capitalists. Just to think OF it,
England has cleared over $6O,OOO,OOO
annually carrying products of the United
States that belonged according to the
rules Of trade to our merchant marine.
England ought to be able to buy our
bonds, and IL the Republican party is
given sufficient sea room it will wreck
pur entire commerce. We do not know
who Mr.. Hansborough is, perhaps some
adventurous politician who has captured
a rotten congressional borough in North
Dakota, but whoever he is, we desire to
give him lesson in bookkeeping that
his limited experience in affairs has never
before suggested to the small organs of
though in his cerebellum. We know
his insignifcance protected him and his
party from che mention of these weighty
facts on the floor of congress in answer
to his charges against Democratic ad-
ministration.

appropriation bill and measures raising
revenues. Then we had better shut up
shop and go home. By so doing the state
will be better off" m
Senator Presler said: Because GU
DAYS have passed and we are getting Dut
50 a day is no reason that we should
adjourn and 90 home. There are several
important bills we ought to pass, among
them a general land bill. We ought TO
agree to take up these important bills ana
pass them. But we are not prepared TO
decide on these matters tonight
and 1 favor adjourning until
tomorrow night
Senator Dbrell said: 81 think we had
better postpone action until tomorrow
night. If the motive was to simply con-
slider the measures demanded by the plat
form / would vote for it. We want to
see the platform first, however, and see
that they are in it. Judging from press
reports the governor has said there is q
demand for an arbitration law. If that
is in the Democratic platform l have
never seen it. There is such demand in
the Populist platform, but l have seen
it nowhere else. There are some recon-
mendations in his message today that
are not in our platform and never will be.
| am sorry that message came to the
both branches of the legislature. 1t
simply gives the Populists a club to WELD
on us. 1t is unprecedented as far as |
can learn"
Senator McComb: 81 did not hear the
message read and have not seen it. If it
is a rebuke it may have been deserved,
but | never knew senate that was more
devoted to it's duties"
Senator Gage said: "While l flinched
little when the governor laid on the
whip, the more 1 think of it the more l
feel that it is deserving. If what we are
doing will be held before our eyes in 1896,
and if we don't redeem our pledges our
majority will be whitfield down to fine
point"
Senator Boren said: at seems to me
that the gubernatorial cato'nine tails has
been used successfully. Some of us seem
to be scared and seem to accept the gov
ernor's charge that we have been derelict
in our duty. | believe it is our duty to
remain here to effect legislation that is
necessary to the best interests of Texas.
1t is not in good taste or according to
precedent for the governor to point out
that we have accomplished nothing. Ii
smacks too much of dictatorship 10 suit
me. 1t is in the province of the legisla-
ture to determine when it shall adjourn
and what laws it shall pass. While l re-
spect the governors opinion and want
his advice l am opposed to being driven"
! Senator McComb: SIS it not fact
/ that this conference is mere coincidence
and not the result of the governors mes
sageT
Senator Boren: mo, sir; never heard
of it until after the message came in"
Senator Stafford said he thought the
message q very timely document, and
Lieutenant Governor Jester said he did
not believe that the message applied to
the senate.
Pending further discussion by Senators
Colquitt, Rogers, Steele and Goss the
caucus adjourned until tonight without
doing anything definite.

DISTINGUISHED VISITORS.

the lot the age of consent bill. The colo

a man gets United States senatorial
