created stir in college circles here by
his severe arraignment of college
sports in the course of lecture last
night.
He said that in the colleges lots of
inhumanity and brutality exists. Haz-
ing, rushes and class fights are COM
mon. Physical contests have become
more important than intellectual work.
The press gives more space to football
games and class rows than legitimate
college work.
He declared that the plea of physical
development in the colleges is shame
holds sway. 1t is the effort of the ami
NAL to return to the physical. These
contests are attended with danger and
demoralizing tendencies. Football is
as bad as prize fighting. Card playing,
theater-going and cumming in clubs
and fraternities are all out of place in
college.
We are glad to see there is one sens
ible and honest man left among these
dispensers of education, at a price.
The daily papers have encouraged
this condition of things. If the people,
instead of being grave and thoughtful.
and conscious Of the immense RESPONSE
bilities resting upon them, in the ef-
fort to preserve free institutions on
this continent, can be turned into a lot
of bowling hoodlums, whose highest
ambitions is to kick leather ball or
outrun jack-rabbit, then it will be so
much easier for the robbers to plum
der the country and establish an aris-
tocracy of thieves on the ruins of liberty
and intelligence.

JUSTICE AT LAST.

The leading Republican gold-bug
daily paper in Chicago is the
Times-Herald. In November last
it did its utmost to elect
John R. Tanner, Republican gold
bug, governor and to cover Governor
John P. Altgeld, Populist and Demo-
cratic candidate, with obloquy and in
fanny. Now Mr.. Tanner has signnd
bill, which was passed by the most cor
rupt legislature that ever sat in the
state of Illinois, and which places the
street railroads of Chicago beyond the
power Of the people, to maintain five
cent rates for twenty years to come;
and thereupon the Times-Herald comes
to the front, June 10, and deDounces
Tanner and praises Altgeld, as follows:
"In this hour of shame, in "iew of
the prostitution of the governorship of
a great state at the sol citation of cor
porate greed, the peop', who have the
Least right to complain are those who
at the bidding of corrupt machine
nominated John r. Tanner for COVER
nor and supported him at the polls AS
they sowed so have they reaped.
These people sinned against knowl-
edge. Tanners life had not been pass
ed in a corner. Although of obscure
origin, his name appeared early in a
way never to be forgotten by his neigh
bors. For some Of the materials Of his
biography we must search the records
of court and Jail in southern Illinois.
For others we must follow the tortuous
trail of a fugitive from justice across
the prairies of Illinois and the wilds Of
Missouri and bark back with mana
cled prisoner who is to face second
trial for homicide. Once more escaping
ernor became TWo-Pair Jack, whose
fame as politician, a poker player and
an all-around good fellow was the talk
of the state from Kankakee to Cairo.
'NOr was the later life of John r.
Tanner a sealed book. The people
knew whether his associates were
changed for the better or his pastimes
became more refined as the years wore
on. They were made familiar with the
circumstances under which the treasury
of the state was looted and who were
the benfciaries of that appropriation Of
public funds. 1t was matter Of COM
mon notoriety that John r. Tanner, in
his capacity as chairman of the state
republican committee, prorogued the
general assembly of Illinois in order to
avert the exposure and punishment of
boodlers. This almost on the eve Of his
nomination for governor.
Knowing these things and reminded
of them, the republican party nominal
ed and the people elected John r. Tan
ner to the high Office which he now dis
graces. tt is automatically reported
that John F.. Altgeld was offered $780,
900 to sign gas bills such as John r.
Tanner signed a few days ago. He
spurned the offer.
How much would the corporations
have been willing to pay for Governor
Altgeld's signature to the Yerkes-Al-
len bill?" Is
Oh! Thoughtful, honest men of the
Republican party, see how you have
been misled. This very paper, of Chi
cago, helped to elect this murderer and
jail-bird, and defeat the honest man,
whom 100000 could no. buy to do
wrong! Can you follow such guides
farther? Will they not sell you out
