Ao! Boys.

The New DOMINION extends a
hearty welcome to the hundreds OF
students that are focking to the I'm
iversity at the opening of the new
gear.
We extend to them the freedom OF
the city, for we know that they have
always had it, and will always take
it, and there is no other class of oul
population to which it is more free
~ accorded.
They help to enliven the social
circle, they stimulate every business
interest, they cheer the public thor
oughfare by their presence, and they
do more than any other single thing
to make the town prosperous.
Therefore the New DOMINION feels
authorized to extend to them the
latchstring of the town, and invite
them to free pull. They are a
CHEEKY part of our population, max
ing merry every nook of our town
not excepting the midnight houl
which bctimes is made resonant
with the hideous "yell.' We are
disposed to be tolerant with the
boys, because they are boys and be-
cause behind all their badness there
is keen sense of humor we all en-
joy.
The Daley New DOMINION will
keep track of the boys and they will
always find it friend in need, Civ
ing them the news they are most in
terested to know, as well as giving
them chance to be heard upon
matters of special concern to them.
We wish them pleasant and profit
able year at the University.

Bryan,s Failure ns a Lecturer.
ne Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
II turns out that Bryan is a failure as a
lecturer. His first manager. who thought
there was money In Bryan" has disposed
OF his contract after the one experience at
Atlanta. where the receipts fell far short
OF expectations. This manager thought
that in two years he could make SOO.000
for himself out of Bryan, and that that
person could make half that sum. He has
found out that defeated presidential can
didate is not necessarily a gold mine.
Bryan's first lecture was delivered before
an Atlanta audience composed largely OF
men who had voted for him and had more
or less faith in free silver. The deliberate
verdict of the Georglans is that the lecture
was a failure. II was not worth paying
81 to hear especially when that dollar is
gold and Is worth, according to Altseld,
90 cents.
The Atlanta Commercial (edited by n jeff
Davis Democrau sets forth some of the
reasons for Bryans failure. Prominent
among these Is the lack of dignity dis
played by the lecturer. Evidently the peo-
pie Of Atlanta have no objection to Bryan
leCturing as an individual. but they have
a most serious objection to- Bryan, hut a
short time ago a presidential candidate
and still posing as Il prospective candidate,
selling out the honors conferred upon him
by his party to q theatrical manager
the Commercial. should have never Te-
trograded into Bryan. the willing hireliIs
of merccnary spectators" !
| The question OF personal dignity and
| good taste is not the only one urged by
| this Atlanta paper II claims that both
| the orator and Grafton we're failures. 1t
| boasts that there are a hundred better
| speakers in Georgia, having more original
| ity and thought than Bryan, and no one
| who has heard him will question the state
| ment or the further declaration that those
who listened to him were overwhelmed
with the gloom of dense disappointment -
| But there was no reason TO expect Bryan
| would draw as lecturer He has not the
| ability. a politician with deep voice and
! fluent speech. speaking on a subject in
| which many are deeply interested, can al
| ways get big crowd and much applause
| But when he charges an admission Zee
| and enters into competition with other lect-
| urers the conditions are changed. People
| will not go to hear him unless he can in
struct or entertain them. Bryan can do
| neither. He is merely q skyrockety stump
| speaker.
The outcome of this vainglorious scheme
| is only too apparent. II he should go en-
| with the forty-nine remaining lectures.
charging only a 5O-cent fee, he will be so
played out by ;he time he gets through
that his party would not pick him up as a
candidate for constable. The Commercial
is undoubtedly correct when it says: His
failure eliminates him from any further
connection with the reform movement .
Bryan would have done better to accept
the offer of the New York firm and be its
lawyer. Then he would have been sure
of good income for q year or two at
least.

Mckinley Promises.

From the Chicago Times-HeFald.
Mckinley did not promise that a bank
which loaned more than twice its capital
to one borrower of doubtful credit could
retain public confidence after the fact was
disclosed. He did not promise that boom
values in all our ambitious cites would be
Immediately restored. or that real estate
paper in boom city banks would at once
become available. He did not promise that
Il golden stream of hard-earned money
would Immediately start up again from the
factory towns and savings banks of New
England into the offices of the numerous
defunct loan and trust companies of the
West. He did not promise that the mem
ory of a decade of watered stocks, sand
bank mortgages, cornfield additions. boom
town confidence games and general extrav-
agance on other peoples money would i'm
mediately fade from memory. or that the
burnt child would not be wary of fire He
did not promise that great crop Of soft
corn should bring good price as a mod
crate crop of sound corn, or that oats of
poor quality should sell as well as good
quality. He did not promise that a state
like Iowa could lose S15.OOO.O0O worth of hogs
in one year by disease-a sum equal to the
silver product of Colorado-and have just
as much money to spend in Chicago as
though it had not lost them
The Mckinley promise was to give peace
and security to the country; that under
that condition money would appear in am
pie quantities; that under an ample reve-
nue. the problem of the gold reserve would
disappear and that with the tariff so ad-
justed as to protect home industries and
open reciprocal markets the genius and en-
ergy of our people would promptly work
out the wished for prosperity. The supply
of money Is now In sight, and Europe owes
$50 600 900 more which would come II those
to whom II is due knew what to do with
1t here. And yet more will be available as
railway earnings and other profits become
attractive and as the tide of investment
slowly turns back to us. The Mckinley
prosperity is to be based on the production
and exchange of actual wealth by an in
dustrious people. and can't be done over
night with a lead pencil. II is to be
growth, not imitation. 1t won't be fast
enough to suit the methods of some people.
but the country has had enough of their
rapid gait and its consequences to last
some time.

large part of AIcKinley's big vote was
fraudulent, and that many convicts. luna
tics and dead men were voted for the Can
ton major
Inasmuch as the states mentioned gave
Mckinley more than half a million more
votes than they gave Cleveland in 1892, the
activity of the Republican managers in
bringing to the polls such large number
of .convicts, lunatics and dead men" must
have been something phenomenal Fur
thermore. it is not true that the states
mentioned were supposed to be close, even
from a Popocratic standpoint. for no less
an authority than Chairman Jones, of the
national committee, issued daily campaign
bulletins claiming them for Bryan by plu-
ralties ranging all the way from 10000 to
10000.
The plain facts are that the intense in

LAST YEARS RAILWAY GROWTH.

The United States leads the world in rail-
way mileage. It has more miles of rail-
road than all the great European countries
together. The activity in American rail-
way construction has been especially
marked in the last nine years. In fact the
building proceeded at a rate altogether too
rapid for the good of the people who in
vested their capital in this kind of enter
prise. 1t was in some respects good
thing for the country-or rather for those
portions of the country, mostly in the
West where the new roads were construct
ed, as it expedited settlement and facili-
tated the making of homes; but it was
species of boom enterprise the reaction of
which is responsible in large measure for
the severe depression of the last few years
in many Western states.
According to the Railway Age, of Chi
cago, the amount of new steam railway
track laid in the United States in 1886 ap-
proximated l,S02 miles, just one mile less
than that of 1885 The South, as a whole,
contributed $50 miles, while New England
built only thirty miles, all in Maine and
Vermont. California leads off with 1S6
miles. The neSt largest contributor is
Louisiana, with l04 miles, "hlle AlchlSdh
takes third place with 140 miles. Those
three are the only states showing more
than 100 miles. New Hampshire, Massa
chusetts, Rhode island, Connecticut, Me-
braska, South Dakota, Wyoming, Neva-
da, Idaho, Arizona and New Mexico had
no railroad extension, and only one mile
was built in Kansas and five in Iowa
The following table shows the record of
new mileage built in each of the years
from and including 1887, when the great
push reached its maximum:

From the Chicago Times-Herald.
A decision of great and general interest
on a point never before raised has just
been made by the New York court of ap-
peals.
A passenger on street car rendered the
conductor n s. bill to pay his fare, but the
latter was unable to change 1t. The pas
senger then refused to pay and was told
he must leave the car. He declined to do
this and the conductor elected him. There
upon he brought suit for damages. The
court holds that the rule OF the company
that change shall be furnished only to
the amount of 81 in payment of scent
fare is not unreasonable, and must be
conformed to by the public. 1t is a rule of
convenience both for the company and for
the passengers and no hardship can result
from it's enforcement. Being known, 1t is
not difficult for an individual to provide

does not seem to catch on in the manner
