The State Schools.

After speaking Of the high condition
and repute of the state colleges the
governor calls attention to the fact that
Vermillion university was rebuilt with
out cost to the state by the citizens Of
Clay county at an expense of $4,000
and advocates an appropriation to
properly put up the buildings. He
would also have the legislature place
graduates OF the university on a plane
with normal school graduates. The
Springfield normal school which was
the earliest established, but which has
never had an appropriation except the
10000 acres of land donated by the last
legislature, he thinks should be given
proper funds to carry out its work.

'is what Will make 1000 gold dollars.
These are the circumstances under
which you are now looking at the gold.
The supply OF gold in the world has
been diminished TO n quantity only
sufficient 10 make one thousand gold

to the supply Is enormous. You will APP
preciate II as truth when / say that the
gold In one OF the Thousand dollars
would, under these circumstances. buy
the State OF Illinois. and there would
barely be an expressibIe decimal in
arithmetic that would express the price
or either pound OF cotton or bushel
or wheat as measured in gold. Under
these circumstances. the price OF cot
ton or wheat would be far below one
cent per pound or bushel as expressed
In gold dollars. And the price Of n
wooden mantel would likewise be much
less than one cent.
And yet" continuing he said. "un-
der these circumstances. you would stu
call the drop Of gold a dollar or worth
a dollar, even though IL would buy the
State Of Illinois. Your senses cannot

lesson we learn from II is this:
That when the demand for both
gold and silver was thrown on gold
alone. 1t increased the demand for gold.
and while 1t advanced corresponding

 J. c. McClain had interferred with Officer Mcknight, and his fun cost him a dollar.
 Tine last chiefest and funniest case or Ithe day was that in which J. R. Pitts was charged by employees of the Louis vile and Nashville railroad with drlv- ing into and damaging a freight car with a one-horsfe wagon.
 J. H. Britton, yard man employed by the Louisville and Nashville, was the company's witness, backed up by a switch foreman named L. E. Body and a brakeman named Win Kurze. All the witnesses made monkeys of themselves upon the stand, and were obliged to admit that the wagon had been run into by a flying car, which stopped within three feet after striking the wagon. Britton said that the car had been sent Ito the railroad shops for repairs, but Judge Feagin smiled at the statement. He was evidently of the opinion that the prosecution of Pitts was purely an att tempt of over-zealous railway emp oyes Ito sidetrack a damage suit, so he dis missed the case against the defendant, taxed the costs of the suit against Britton and ordered the arrest of that worthy and his co-swearers, Body and Kurze.
 To sum up, justice held full sway in the inferior court yesterday, and bids fair to play lone hand hereafter.
