Stafford POpulists Pass Resolutions.

The Stafford county Populist commit
tee held meeting at st. John, April u,
and adopted a series of resolutions. The
meeting was largely attended by the
Populists of the county. The resolutions
call attention to the fact that the maxi
mum freight rate plank in the State
platform was made an issue in the last
campaign, and that certain Populist
legislators, knowing this, defeated
the will of the people, and these
members are severely denounced. Gov
ernor Lesdy's veto of the Senate bill is
approved. The resignation of all Popu-
list members who will not pledge them
selves to vote for maximum freight

demanded in order that the people may

Changes at the Agricultural College.

OnunSes tJ Jn0 AGRICULTURAL C0il6g9.
In a recent issue of the Capital it was
stated that about half of the professors
at the Agricultural College had been re-
moved by the new Board Of Regents, and
that paper proceeded to make great
deal of political capital out Of the affair.
The facts are that the following persons
declined to accept reelection: George
H. Failyer, professor of chemistry and
mineralogy; Charles @. Georgeson, pro-
fessor Of agriculture; Silas G. Mason,
professor Of horticulture; Mrs. Nellie
Kedzie, professor of household economy
and hygiene; ]. S. G. Thompson, super
intendent Of printing. By agreement
four other places were passed over until
the June meeting. All of the others
were retained. President Fairchild
stated emphaticBlly that he would not
accept a reelection. The board elected
Thomas E. Will, professor of economic
science, to succeed him. Professor Will
is an able man, liberal thinker, and it
is believed that he will make an excel
lent President.
No forced changes we're made, all Of
those retiring having declined to con-
tinue their work. The Capitals report
was SO manifestly unfair and untruthful
that Ell. A.. Perkins, President of the
State Editorial Association and editor of
the Manhattan Nationalist, who was
the Capital correspondent at that place,
sent in his resignation as the best OK.
preston Of his indignation at the prac-
tlce Of such newspaper methods. He did
not send the dispatch which was used;
his report was suppressed and this un-
truthful one inserted in it's place. That
the Regents have no intention or desire
to conduct the institution on political
lines is shown by the fact that Secretary
Coburn Of the State Board of Agricul-
ture, who is a Republican, has been
asked to consider the matter of accept
ing the chair of agriculture made vacant
by Professor Georgeson. The Regents
propose to build up the college by secur-
ing the services Of the most competent
men in the country, irrespective of their
political ideas.
