DECLINE OF COLLEGIATE CONCEIT
1t has become a matter of remark
that the college graduate is neither as
scholastic nor as conceited as he was a
generation ago, say an exchange. Both
changes are commemorate, and both are
result. of sweeping changes in the COL
lege itself.
The whole spirit and aim Of the
American college has undergone a rad
ical transformation in the last quarter
OF a century. In the old days when
Greek and Latin were synonyms for a
college curriculum, the highest aim of
the student was scholastic-book know
ledge. His chief desire and that most
persistently encouraged by his instruc-
tors was to become a lifelong bookworm.
Today the whole attitude Of the college
graduate is changed. His energies and
thoughts almost universally turn to
practical science or to some scheme of
philanthropy. His heart is in the out.
side world and his sympathies are with
men instead Of with books.
But this change does not altogether
account for. the decline in that old con
ceit that used to make the college grad
uate a by-word for impractical youthful
pomposity. The decline Of conceit is due,
nevertheless, partly to the same cause.
In the old dave ubon fba Ana -.
guages constituted about all there was
of higher education, it was perfectly
natural that a youth should come forth
at the end of his course with the firm
conviction that he "knew it ALL,
Now the field of learning has SO broad
ened that there is little chance for
even the most self-complacent boy
to imagine that he has covered the whole

KEN1UCKY.s DEMOCRATS.

Kentucky might be called a bowling Joy
forever. When it comes to making a beau
tiful combination of Bourbon whisky and
Bourbon politics, the Kentucky democracy
takes the rag off the bush and sets the
ghost of Barnum groaning with covetous
envy.
1t is safe to say that no other state, and
no other combination even in the state of
Kentucky, could do what the Louisville
convention has done-nOminated a free
silver candidate for governor on a gold
platform. BY a. vote of three to one the
convention adopted a sound money plat
torn n Endorsed Cleveland and Carlisle
by name. Then it turned around and nomi-
mated General P. w. Hardin for governor
an out-and. out 16 to l man who had
stumped the state for free silver, and who
is as much out of place on a sound-money
platform as a bear on skates. 4
But the whole circus performance is ex-
planned by one utterance made on the con-
vention floor. eve propose to stand by
your ticket, 10 matter what platform is
adopted" shouted John S. Rhea amid the
pandemonium. II have grown too old in
the service Of the party to desert it at the
eleventh hour''-Journal.
1uem our mo man Is
loyal to his party who threatens to de-
sert it because his individual views are
not reflected nor Endorsed by a majority.
So true as it is necessary that the will
of the majority prevail that a republican
form of government be perpetuated, so
true is it that the adherents of a political
party must submit to the doctrines held
by a majority of it's members. A con-
vention is the proper place for party diff
ferences TO be fought out and settled,
and when once settled abided by. In
adopting this plan the democracy of
Kentucky has probably saved itself to
the democratic column. Much as the
TRIBUNE would be pleased to see the re-
publican ticket elected in Kentucky,i it can
but admire the loyalty of it's democracy.
1t is an example worthy the emulation
of the republicans of North Dakota.

OFFICIAL PAPER BURLE|GH co.
THE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.


The agricultural college which was
located by the constitutional convention
at Fargo has just held it's fourth COM
mencement exercises. Hon. J. H. Worst,
the new president of the faculty, came
in on the morning train and when asked
about the college said:
Eyes, I have been selected as presi-
dent of the agricultural college and go
into office on July l. The ommence
ment exercises just closed were we'll at

graduates acquitted themselves with

deuced deep thought and extensive re-
search.
The Institutional force of the agricul-
tural college is an exceptionally able
one. Each professor is an expert in his
special line of work and the student can
be accommodated in any field of re-
search, or taught any branch of study he
may wish to pursue. While there is a
regular four-year college course with a
preparatory course leading up to it,
there IS in addition a short winter course
for the accommodation of young men
whose educational advantages have been
limited and who wish to pursue such
branches as mathematics, languages,
etc., to better equip themselves for bust
ness.
The idea that the college teaches moth
ing but farming and butter.making is
erroneous. 1t teaches everything that
pertains to agriculture, care of animals,
ETC., and in addition all that pertains to
the business and p%leasurable side of life,
just as the physician studies geography.
grammar and mathematics before he
grapples with physiology, anatomy and
materia medica.
GA graduate of the Fargo Agricultural
college is thoroughly grounded in all
branches of study essential to a liberal
education, with a special adaptation to
that part of the business world known as
farming and it's concomitants.
"a shorter course means the same
thing, only less complete and amplifed.

FOURTEEN years ago today Charles
Guiteau fred the shot that caused the
death of President James A. Garfield
and for which he was tried, convicted,
executed, and thirteen years ago today
being just n year a ter the shooting
his body was buried in the jail yard at
Washington, D. G. President Garfield
and Secretary of State Blaine had gone
to the Pennsylvania depot, on Sixth
street, in Washington, to take a train
for Long Branch. Just as they entered
the waiting room Of the depot, at 9:30 a.
m., the assassin fred two shots, both of
which took effect, one penetrating the
right arm, and the other imbedded itself
in. the right hip, and which after long
months of suffering caused the presi-
dents death. Time has explained many
theories of the cause of the murder ex-
tant at that time to have been unfounded,
and the sober judgment of the American
people after fourteen years is that it was
rather the work of a mailman than an
act of deliberate and sober judgment, or
caused by any combination of circum-
stances. While Charles Guiteau was
undoubtedly insane, it was not of that
species of insanity which in law spare
mems lives because of mental incapacity
to commit crime. President Garfield
was stricken down in the pride
of his full manhood, but had previously
written his name indelibly on some of
the brightest pages of his country's his
tory. From the tow-path to the White
House, his was a march of honorable
competition and successive victories for
the right.

he spoke at q number of populist rallies.
The governor was feeling splendidly, his

decided in Maine, Illinois, Iowa. Ohio

Mr.. Hannah argued that the fact
that the Bible had been read in tie

hundred years without opposition was
a part of the history OF the state. and

GUARDED BY DEPUTIES.
SHEBOYGAN FACTORIES TO BE
PROTECTED.
Manufacturers Call on the Sheriff fo1
Aid, and One hundred and fifty
Deputies will be Appointed.

Sheboygan, Wis. May 31.-A crisis in
At a meeting of the manufactur 4rs
they decided, in view Of the pacific
attitude of Mayor Born to call upon
the sheriff for protection. This was
brought about by constant gathering of
men about the factories in the morning
md a. night, despite the fact that the
mayor has issued a proclamation pro-
hibiting the same. The call upon the
sheriff was made through the district
attorney. This afternoon Sheriff .iras-
horn swore in about thirty deputies
and will add to the list until $50 is
reached.
About o'clock the deputies, in COM
mand OF Sheriff Grashorn and Deputies
BornefeIdt and Buchen, marched to
the plants Of the Phoenix, Sheboygan

be Oh hand when the strikers gathered
at quitting time. The move Of the
manufacturers had been noisei abroad
and instead of 300 or 400 strikers be-
.ng on hand as usual, only knots of
several were standing about. They
were promptly dispersed by the dep
uties and told to move on. Some
showed reluctance, bIt they were kept
moving. The usual shouting to the
men as they left the factories did not
occur One arrest was made, but it
was Of minor Importance.
Mayor Born attended a meeting Of
the strikers at 4 o'clock in the after
noon and advised the men to keep
away from the factories. This ac-
counts for the few numbers. The
mayor also made a tour Of factories
this morning. He has claimed that
no intimidation has been going on, but

THE HOUSE CRICKET.

Miss Edith burlington gives a very
ineligible description of that familiar
insect, the house cricket The chirp-
ing noise, which is the main character
istic Of this beetle, is made by the male
insect for the purpose of serenading
his sweetheart. Having no voice, he
uses his wings, and in a most admir-
able manner Beneath the gray scales
on it's back the cricket has q couple of
patrs of extremely lovely wings.
Through the upper pair of these, near
the middle. run two stitfiSh neryu"eS,
which are hard, and resemble little
files. When the cricket wishes to
make himself agreeable he raises bis
wings, bends his body slightly forward,
and quickly rubs his files against each
other. The sound is made greatly
louder by a fat plate on each wing,
which. acting somewhat like the parch-
ment of a drum, causes the rasping
of the files to be heard far and wide.
The female cricket has no musical in
strument Of her own, and she cannot
reply to the chipping; but, though
dumb. she possesses a fine pair of ears,
which are situated not in her head but
in her legs.
The cricket, being partly a burrow-
ing insect, has a protective mask which
covers the face, and, being hinged like
the visor worn by a knight Of old, can
be lifted at will. Beneath it The
cricket's tongue appears, a curious kid
ney-shaped organ of elaborate struct-
ure which enables its owner to suck
up the moisture it needs. It's food is
slender, and consists of grains Of Jour
or crumbs too small for the broom to
remove. and where crickets are numer-
Gus they are useful as scayengers in
removing dust.
