CTS. Professor Moore thought that an association might be formed for the pro- motion of the study of elementary sci enee, and volunteered to identify any specimens, mineral, botanical or zoolog- ical. which might be forwarded to him. He suggested that the schools might collect valuable minerals and plants, which could form the nucleus of school exhibit from Jefferson county.
 At the conclusion of the discussions Prof P. M. Roof, president of the illsti- ute, called the attention of the teachers to the meeting of the Southern National association, which meets at Hot Springs, Ark, December 90 to January 2.

Cheap hotel rates can be secured and a large crowd will be in attendance. Hot Springs is a delightful place for a mid-wlnter meet ing. All who are thinking of attending should report as soon as possible to Pro- lessor Roof Birmingham. who is the Southern Educational association man. ager for Alabama.
 Prof. H. P. Burruss, the critic, read a well prepared and comprehensive report setting forth the work and reviewing the conclusions of the institute.

season was not very glorious one. Four games with as many defeats is not a record to be referred to by many of our enthusiasts The boys have already started in to redeem themselves, and it IS safe to say next years eleven will eclipse anything south.
 On the diamond we expect to hold our past record. We have with us the fol- lowing men from last years team: Her ring, Milner, Thetford, Reynolds and BeStor, and there is some good material among the new men. E. D. Smith is man ager and G. Reynolds captain of the [ team. On the gymnasium team the fol- lowing are back: Ferguson, Pelham; Wing, Herring, Edgar, Burr, Godfrey, Gholston and Teague. Pelham is the manager and Ferguson captain of the team They are in training at present and expect to put up a good perform ance at the opera house at no very dis tant date.
 Tennis seems to be @ fad among a good many of the boys this year. Several clubs have been organized and a tourna- ment next spring, in which Greensboro and Auburn will be invited to participate is spoken of and if carried through would no doubt prove a success. A good many of the cadets visited the fair dur ing Thanksgiving week and of course saw the Auburn-Georgla football game. our boys wore Auburns colors and as- sisted them in their yells and it was with pleasure that We saw our sister col lege eleven walk off the field champions

ELECTION LIES.

One of the chief purposes for which
the Associated Press is maintained is
to lie. The hope of the parties that
maintain it is built upon the expects-
tion that the American people will
continue to be deceived and kept in ig-
norance by the falsehoods which it
scstters broadcast throughout the land.
The late election furnished one Of
the occasions for the performance Of
this most important duty of the
association. Immediately after the
result was known, the story was tele-
graphed from Indianapolis that the
Peoples party In that State he'd de-
cided to disband; that the committee

THAT GREAT REPUBLICAN MAJORITY.

At the opening of the campaign this
year there were a number of people
representing different political parties
who expressed desire to remove the
Office of Chief Justice from the domain
Of partisan politics by nominating
candidate by petition, thus making
him candidate of the people instead
of a political party. There we've quite
a number Of Populists who expressed
themselves favorable to this plan.
They were willing that Judge Martin
should be the nominee, and would
have given him their hearty support
had the Republican managers been
willing to have non.psrtissn Judge
elected, or had Judge Martin been
wise enough to hold himself sloof
from the selfish partisan schemes of
the Republican committee. The gang,
however, counted upon Judge Martins
personal popularity and thought they
saw an opportunity to work up little
buncombe for next year. They thought
they could make him the candidate of
the Republican party, that everybody
would vote for him anyhow, and they
could "point with pride" to the over
whelming vote he received as showing
the immense and irresistible strength
of the party in the State, and sffording
new proof that Populism is dead.
What is the resultp Judge Martins
vote will sum up about 5000. This
Is at least %, 600 less than the Repubti-
can vote of last year. Judge Martins
personal popularity did not count
against the spirit of partisanship which
was unwisely injected into the contest.
In speaking of his election Republican
papers are very careful now not to lay
any stress upon the vote he received,
but don't they scream about his ma
jority over Charley Holiday They
fairly make the prairies ring with the
cry of 10000 or $4,000 majority for
their partisan candidate, but all their
hoped-for buncombe for next year has
gone glimmering. The majority is

MAI. HUDSON RETIREs.

The Topeka Capital Of Sunday
November II, contains an announce
ment over the signature of Mai. Hud
son Of change Of management of the
paper. Maj. Hudson retires from the
editorial chair which he has occupied
since 1879, and announces the cessation
Of his right, title and interest in the
paper. The capital passes into the
hands of j. r. MulVane, President Of
the Bank Of Topeka, under whose di
rection it will hereafter be published
Referring to the cause which has
made this change necessary Maj. Hud.
son says;
The continued depression in business fol
the past five years and the destruction Of
realty values have made the burden Of increas
ing indebtedness too heavy. have no apollo
gles to offer as 1 have done the best l could
under the circumstances, and have no com
plants to make as the indebtedness was OF
my own creation.
No fsir.minded person can do other
wise, of course, than regret that mis-
fortune should befsll any man. In
this case, however, the regret is tenn
per eddy the reflection that Maj. Hud
son is merely one of many victims Of
conditions which he has helped to es
tablish and maintain. He does moi
suffer alone from these conditions. II
is to be hoped that now, since his re-
tirement from editorial work, he will
be more honest with himself and those
with whom he may associate than
he has been heretofore. The state
ment quoted above affords some hope
that he may be. Heretofore he has
had much to say of the unparalleled
prosperity Of the country, especially
prior to the advent of the present
Democratic administration. NoaO he
carries the era of depression and of de-
clining values back full five years,
which would include good part of the
late Republican administration, which
he has constantly insisted marked the
most prosperous period of our national
existence. He ought to have dated
the beginning of declining values much
earlier than he has done. The date he
names, however, affords q sufficient
answer to his former pretense that
the depression began with the present
administration and is a result OF
its policy. The brief paragraph which
we have quoted compared with former
editorials in the Capital illustrates the
difference between the business man
dealing with the cold, hard facts of &C.
tive business life, and the politicsl
demagogue scheming for the success
of corrupt party. There is no doubt,
as he states, that he has done the best
he could under the circumstances. He
has probably done as we'll as any man
could do under like conditions to pay
his indebtedness and save his property
but the conditions have been against
him. We extend all the sympathy we
possibly csn"under the circumstances, y
but really conditions are not favorable
for as much Of that as they might be,

r1R HORR AND SILVER.

The friends of silver monometal-
1ism are making a labored attempt
TO show that Mr.. Horn is gold bug
and in his debate with Mr.. Harvey is
representing the gold standard only.
But Mr.. Horn made his position SO
plain in his opening remarks and at
different points in the debate, tnat
they will hardly be able to do this.
Speaking of his position the New
York Morning Advertiser says: INF.
Horr has formulated in a few words
his position on the silver question.
He is not opposed to bimetalllsm. he
believes in the concurrent use or both
gold and silver as money, but only on
safe and sound business principles.
This is right. 1t is the attitude OF all
sensible and patriotic citizens. LII Is
the attitude of all true Republicans,
one of whom is Mr.. Horr. 1t is a
question, however, whether silver
fanatics and demagogues can be con-
WINGED by such reasoning. What they
want is not the joint use OF silver ana
gold, but silver monometallism. Their
object is to secure deprecated dollar
by which debts can be scaled ana re-
pudiated. If they believed that silver
would circulate side by side with the
yellow metal under free silver coinage,
the bottom would drop out OF their
cause. Admittedly many OF the VIC
Tins of the silver craze are sincere.
Undoubtedly most of them intend TO
be honest. But it should not be for
gotten that it is appeals to their
cupidity and greed which have mlsled
their Judgment and reason, and it IS
to be hoped that Mr.. Horr will sue
coed in demonstrating conclusiVely to
these misguided persons what monu-
mental folly it would be, even from
the most selfish standpoint, to force
free silver coinage upon this Re-
public"

to conform with present conditions
But this could not be done, as Mr..
Cleveland would rather sell bonds and
plunge the country still farther into
debt and trouble than to raise it to
prosperity through law under which
it was prospecting when he took up the
reigns of power.
But congress can make changes
which will bring the needed revenue
into the treasury, and at the
same time afford proper protection to
such industries as the Wilson law
more or less crippled, as the wool and
wooden industries, for instance. Then
if Mr.. Cleveland sees fit to veto, let
the responsibility rest where it prop
erly belongs, upon him and his party.
The Republicans can well rest with
the matter so placed before the coun-
try. The pursuing of such course
would be sensible, business-like and
patriotic, and with the experience of
the past two years and half, would
meet the hearty approval of the
people.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1895-07-26

The FREE PRESS believes that the
people of this city want the city light
ing done at the lowest possible cost
for good service, and that the majority
of those voting for the bond issue did
so for the purpose of providing the
council with funds so that if it found
the city could do it's own lighting
cheapest it could put in a plant.
1t would therefore seem that if the
best interests of the people are to be
looked after, the proper course for the
council to pursue would be to recon-
slider the vote by which the Andrews
resolutions were lost and then adopt
them, and so receive bids along this
line as we'll as for city plant. 1t
would not conflict with the making OF
arrangements for putting in city
plant in the least, but it would furnish
the council and our citizens with full
information upon the subject as to
which course is the cheapest and most
practical and also open up chance to
secure for the city the full benefits OF
the electrical field at the lowest posi-
BILE cost.
The course which the advocates of
city lighting and the council pursues
looks as though they were afraid to
have any such information placed be-
fore the people.
If their claim as to the cheapness
of lighting by city plant is true,
they have nothing to fear. If it is
not true we will warrant the assertion
that there will never be a vote of cri-
ticism secured for making contract
with a private corporation.
The statement that the passage of
the resolutions would be proceeding
backwards is the merest balderdash
and not worthy of passing notice.
Any movement which secures inform
alton as to what is the best for the
greatest number of people is not pro-
ceeding backward nor can it be tor
tured into meaning such.
