THE LEGISLATURE

Not qui the usual number Of normal
school bills have been introduced into
the legislature at this session Possibly

didates in the past have become discour-

three and even four times.
Normal school bills are encouraged by
several kinds Of people. The people OF
Lincoln like to have them in'ro1uc d
because good mary people como to the
capital TO aid the bills. There are com
mittees from the towns TO lobby for
them. Sometimes money is paid TO in
fiuential men to act as Lobbyists. The
members o. the legislature from those
towns are vitaly interested in the meas
ures. They use every effort for
success and their votes will be placed
where they can obtain votes in return.
So tn y are legit mate trading property
for oil enterprises in the legislature.
For this reason the members with nor

There is not, never has been, and never

demonstrates that no legislature has
ever been brought t. the point where it
had the remotest int .tion 10 pass such
bill. Once or twice as in the case of
Fremont bill has teea able TO pass one
house rs an act of persoual friendship
but it has always understood that The

WONDERFUL AGGREGATION.

The Forepaugh and Sells brothers Circus
Pleased Large Crowds Yesterday.
When q place has been found large
enough for the purpose, and the popula-
ton of q few outlying towns joins that of
the city of Providence, there is presented
to view remarkably fine looking body Of
men, women and children. Occasions
promoting this beauty show are rare and
of more than National Importance, but
they occur.
The reception given yesterday to the
wonderful human aggregation and the no
less astonishing animal kingdom that
forms the Forepaugh and Sells Brothers
Consolidated Circus, was one. The guests
arrived about 80 Sunday morning and
between that fraction of an hour and 10 80
last evening, they were given the freedom
of the city and almost all the money of the
crowd.

1t Is not necessary to say more than that
the claims made by the advance notices
were good circus truth, and that the ad-
jectives Of the press agents were not more
numerous than the good things of the
show.
The circus has gone, the crowd has dis
persed, and there isn't peanut In Provi-

Columbus. o., June 29.--with the un-

candidates and their workers here last
night, the anti-convention contests were
very animated. The field has concen-
trated against r. Il. Hough as the fav-
0rite for governor, and will fight him to
q decisive ballot. The Press Post, the
central Democratic organ, questions
Hough's orthodoxy on the silver question.
Ex-Congressman 8. s. Yoder has pub
lished statement about Hough being an
original Bryan man at Chicago, and
wanting free silver plank in the state
platform three years ago. With the Bit
ter fight made on Hough there has been
considerable rise in the booms Of other
candidates. While the fight for the head
of the state ticket is very animated there
ls no visible opposition to Mclean. Even
the gold Democrats, who are In attend
ance at the convention, favor HIM for
senator. notably Lawrence T. Neal, who
was McKinleys opponent for governor.

Amherst, Mass, Jue 29-Never In the
history Of Amherst college has COM
mencement week been attended by such
excitement ~ prevailed here last night.
Gates and Morse" are the cries. and
IL Ia very evident that the large body OF
students and alumni here assembled II
overwhelmingly In sympathy with Pro-
fessor Morse and IL anxiousiy awaiting
the action Of the trustees today.
The history of the trouble goes back
two years. when Professor Edwin A.
Grosvenor was made professor of modern
history, a new chair created without
the knowledge and during the absence
Of Professor A. ID. Morse, who held the
chair Of history. 1t is understood that
at the time Professor Morse was on the
point OF resigning when he was prevailed
upon by his friends and President Gates
to remain for a year, when Professor
Grosvenors connection with the depart
ment would cease.
However, Professor Morse's illness
made Mr.. Grosvenor's retention neces-
sary, though the trustees went on record
last year giving Professor Morse signed
btdteinent promising tnat ahteT a year
he should again retain full charge.
In the spring of this year Professor
Morse was In California for his health.
Two weeks ago President Gates In 4
circular letter TO the alumni took oc-
casiop to speak In congratulatory terms
Of the complete recovery OF Professor
Morse. This wss followed by the re-
! IsnGagement OF RSufeesor GrpgyenQy COX
another year and the resignation Of
Professor Morse.
Today the trustees will meet and the
resignation OF Professor Morse will off,
cially come before them, and 1t Is
thought will lead to an inquiry into the
methods Of administration pursued by
President Gates, and the students and
alumni seem to hope that this will bring
about the defeat of President Gates.
