1t is hard to tell whether il is knock
out drops or merely plain drank that
possesses thu essayists Of the present day
in regard to women who have taken a
college course. One begins to get very
tired of the eternal talk concerning
them.
A college bred young woman is mere
ly girl with good brain and good
health, ambitious to do something use
full in the world. She learns the branch
es OF science young men have been
learning at college since colleges began
and the new tangled ideas besides. To
her credit, be it said, she learns these
things often better than the young men
do. After she graduates she steps out
into the world and usually makes some
use of her education, which is also to
her credit. She either becomes teacher,
or college professor, or maybe doctor,
lawyer or she goes in for college settle
ments, and sometimes it pleases her TO
remain just nice, sweet girl, who does
nothing in particular.
But now your anatomist, your essay
list, Your newspaper writer, your social
statistic crank, and heaven knows who
else, takes her up and examines her I'M
der the microscope. Most of their inyes-
LEGATIONS run along one and the same
line, whether "a college education de-
creases or adds to her chances for mar
riage.
When the girl began her solid, syste-
matte and altogether admirable college
training, undoubtedly she did it with
out thought of her chances to marry,
one way or the other Since it did not
trouble her, why in the name Of all that
is reasonable and sensible should it
trouble anybody else? What, indeed,
has a college training to do with matri-
mony anyhow? Investigators do not go
about with spectacles on nose inquiring
into whether college bred men marry or
not. Why should they in the case of
college woman?
in brief, the question of whether a
girl college graduate marries or not is
nobody's business except her own and
that of the man, happy or otherwise
according as she takes or rejects him.
The college girl is an ornament to So
ciety wherever she is, and she is some
thing better than an ornament. She usu-
ally gives some reason why she should
exist, which is more than can be said of
some of those who are prodding into her
private life. At any rate, give us rest
on the college girls matrimonial
chances

The New Apportionment.

The committee in charge have
agreed upon an pportionment bill
and have reported the same to Gov.

in the plan as first outlined by Mr.. A

Grant and Crawford counties viii

LaFays tie, Iowa & Green the seven
teenth, and Richland and Vernon the
twenty-eighth.
Two assembly districts are allotted
to Grant county. Bloomington, Little
Grant. Lancaster, Liberty and Clifton
and the towns north of them constitute
the first district and the rest of the
county the second,
The plan as reported is, so far at
least as this part Of the state is
concerned, fair and satisfactory We

scheme Tor other portions Of the state

One Of the most characteristic stories
told of the lamented Eugene Field is
that of his inheriting $50, 600 at the age
of 81 and spending it. His father and

nobody with any shadow of control over
him. So the generous, romantic boy in

and they went TO Europe The two
young fellows actually blew in" the
whole of that 500, 900 in two years. II
just swatted the money around said
Field. Then he came home and began to
work for his living, He was man who
could afford to spend all his fortune in
two years, for he was a genius But it
would hardly be safe for others 10 follow
his example There are few geniuses
among the wild young men who throw

1t is astonishing what quantities of
good advice people who are not farmers
are giving TO farmers. Everybody ex-
cept just the farmer himself appears to
knoN Why the agriculturist is not boom
ing with prosperity, and what he must
do IN order SO TO boom. The farmer
must vary his products, says one writer
who never dug potato in his life. Ruin
is in the raising of one or two crops
alone Why did not the farmer have a
supply of ready grown cattle to meet the
late rise in beef? says one. That he did
not shows amazing lack of foresight,
this writer thinks Let us see Suppose
the farmer has dozen fine beeyes to
market First he must ship them to the
live stock commission men in the city,
himself paying the freight ON them. The
commission man sells the animals to the
butcher, making his own neat profit ON
them. The butcher kills them and sells
them anew 60 the wholesale meat dealer,
making also his neat profit The whole
sale man disposes of the meat by the
half or quarter carcass to the retailer.
The wholesaler again makes his little
per cent Last of all the retailer sells to
the consumer and makes his per cent.
With all these people between him and
the consumer making their living of
that steer, how much is the farmer like

The enlisted soldiers at Fort Sheridan
who lodged complaints against their su-
perior officers for making them do duty
as Wallets and domestic servants have the
sympathy of the people of this whole
country. There exists exactly as much
reason why a captain in the regular
army should black a private soldiers
shoes as there is why the private soldier
should black the captain shoes. Amer
lean citizens enlist in the army to fight,
not to wash officers dishes and clean of
ficers clothes. BY an act of Justice,
which should long ago have been accom-
plished in this free republic, private sol
diers of education, military ability and
bravery, are now put i'll the direct line
of promotion for even the highest offices
in the army of the United States. 1t
will look well, will it not, for griz-
ely, gruff old colonel hereafter to be
messing with dashing young captain
or lieutenant who used to black his shoes
and clean his clothes? Down with the
whole wretched army officer arlstocracy
system Everything that serves to give
it another kick is to be commended. The
enlisted soldier owes duty to his coun-
try, He owes the strictest obedience to
ais officers in respect to military mat
ters. Outside Of that he may be and

would ncnea. tho wealthy Only.

Some of our states and very many
cities and counties and nearly all rail
road and manufacturing corporations
who have outstanding bonds, together
with many individuals, have borrowed
money, agreeing to pay principal and
interest in gold. All of them who sur
viyed tho panic which would onsue
(from "a drop to tho silver standard)
would have to buy gold Mt Il premium 10
pay their debts.
Question. Why did these states
cities, corporations and persons agree to
pay i'll gold?
Answer. Because by 20 doing they
got money at lower ratio of interest,
and i'll some cases could obtain tho loan
i'll no other way.
Question. the free coinage of

Answer. 1t is certain that the great
majority of persons who owed debts
would DO ruined because of nn inmcdi-
ate demand Of thoir creditors for the
money due. a national bankrupt law
would speedily DO passed If any debtor
could hold on until values were read

Question. What classes of persons

fortune owing no debts would be injured
