THE PROFESSORS BUDGET.
A College Instructor Writes os His Salary

 sineo my object is not to idealize my ex, periences, but to toll the truth. I may sa1 frankly that the principal reason why 1 nave remained hero has been the financial one My salary Is S2, GOO year. It Is n small sum for any professional man to earn, and it is certainly less than the col iege would gladly pay if it were able. On the other hand, it comes nearer to coincit- Ing with the cost of living here than do the much larger salaries of some friends of mine who occupy chairs in the great uni- versailles Most of the people even the more prosperous of them, in the commu- nlty in which the college is located. do not have so large an income as do tho profess ors, and we even find ourseIyes-rather uneomfortably, it must be said-looled upon by our townsmen as a sort of local moneyed aristocraey.
 But the conditions of living are unques- tlonably easier and in many respects more attractive here than in many other places. Rents, for example, are decidedly lower. My house. while not on the main street. is centrally and pleasantly located, with q generous strip of lawn, a bit of garden in the rear and some fruit and shade trees Tho house is very plain, somewhat old fashioned and imperfeetly arranged, but 1t is in good repair, and has, unlike the houses of most of my neighbors the mod ern conyeniences of gas, furnace and bath. room. The rent Is $850 a year A house equally good and as well located could rot be had in any university town or city that know of for doubIo that sum.
 On the other hand, meats and groceries are nob very much cheaper here than else. where. Indeed my wife often regrets tho absence of largo city markets and stones with their lower range of prices hnvc recently tren comparing expense accounts for a number of years back and find that the annual budget averages about as fol. lows:

Rabbits and Fruit Trees

D. W. Brockway of Whitewater. writing

ALAWYER'S DODGE.

The smart Aleckism of at least one
Pop statesman has got him into trouble.
Webb McNall, Leedy's state insurance
superintendent being desirous as a late
convert, of proving his worthlness as
reformer. issued an order revoking the
licenses of two of the most substantial
insurance companies of the country, for
bidding them to longer do business in
Kansas, unless they paid claim OF flf-
" thousand dollars which the courts
had failed to sustain as being valid. The
Eagles dispatches of yesterday morn
ing contain the information that the in
surance companies in the case have
brought suit against Mr.. McNall and
his bcndSmen for the sum of $1,000,
which amount they claim they have
been damaged by the unprecedented or
der of McNall. This action Will cause
somebody to sweat, presumably Mr..
Ieedy's man and his bondsmen. The
suit is brought in the United States
court McNalI's first plea in defense is
an old one which will interest lawyers
and courts, especially if it should be
sustained, as in such event a state ap-
pointee would stand superior to any in
reference upon the part of the federal
Judiciary. McNalls attorney cites the
eleventh amendment to the United
States constitution as defense, which
declares that the judicial powers of the
federal courts do not extend TO suits
against a state by citizens Of another
state McNall holds that he is the state
of Kansas, persona-officio. The decision
of the court will be awaited with inter-
est. Pop philosophy and expedient, I'M
like that of Horatio's, embrace every
thing ever dreamed Of in earth or un-
der heaven.

PROTECT OUR HIDES.

The Eagle having advocated the Re
publican policy of protection, still ad-
heres TO that doctrine. But lis protect
i've tariff ideas are not of ''penf-up
Utica character It does not believe
that the west can be made 10 flourish
commercially and financially like a
green bay tree simply by protecting the
leading manufacturing interests OF a sec
ton or corner of the country. We want
to hear all of New England's factories
humming. and see all the chimneys OF
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New
York pouring out volumes of smoke,
with every wheel and hand busy, but
not at the expense. entirely, OF the pro-
ducing west. which holds 10 reciprocity
as well as protection. There are no.
enough hands in the eastern factories:
though all were busily employed at
good wages, under high protective tar
iff, to consume the entire products OF
the west. And even if this were so.
there is no reason why we Of the west
should be forced TO pay higher prices
for The products of said eastern factor
les and at the same time be content TO
accept the old low rule of prices for
what we turn out.
a few years ago the Eagle was found
fault with for criticising a like feature
of the Mckinley bill. The Dingley bill
is open to the same objection. The west
as whole has one prominent leading
industry, common to every state. From
the Mississippi river to the Pacific
ocean. from the lakes TO the Gulf OF
Mexico comprising twenty-one states
and territories, in every valley, upon
every hill and mountain side, in every
canon. over every prairie, are scattered
cattle. Cattle raising is the one common
interest of all this region, constituting
more than half OF the territory OF the
United States, and containing millions
Of people, and the one prominent inter
est susceptible Of protection. Its cereals
and fruits cannot be protected nor its
meats or other products, eggs excepted
But cattle can be. and directly, by tar
iff on hides 4 two-dollar specific duty
on dry hides would add millions Of dol
lars to the west, and also millions to the
general revenues of the country, which
is the one pre-eminent end of the Ding
ley bill, and that, too, without burthen-
ing the shoe factories of New England,
which would add ten or twenty cents
to the price of each pair of shoes which
the west would have to pay or go bare
footed. Yet Senator Lodge notified the
house that no bill protecting dry hides
could pass the senate, and the item was
left on the free list.
The protective policy Of the Republi-
can party should not be made a one
sided arrangement. The party cannot
afford TO have it so, whatever the inter
ests of New England may desire or the
importers of the great cities may de-
mand.

IN RESTRAINT OF TRADE.

That traffic associations are in re-
straint of trade and commerce. and op-
posed to the fundamental spirit of en-
terprise, through competition, no sane
man ever doubted, even before the late
decision of the supreme court. Trusts
and combines are offensive monopolies
for defensive purposes. If they are
right for railways, they are right for
every conceivable interest, concedlng
that pooling, based on tonnage, at COM
mon points, TO be defensible, the rules
of traffic associations are unquestionably
IN restraint of trade The effort, there
fore which Is 10 be made for re-hear-
ing of the Trans Missouri Traffic asso-
cations case will prove abortive, and
our dispatches of yesterday announce
that such effort will be made. Senator
Chandler's amendment TO the Foraker
bill is, therefore, no joke While Mr..
Chandler may entertain no idea of its
adoption, its discussion will afford him
the opportunity TO expose the one-sided
selfishnesS of trusts and combines in
general, 10 show the danger that threat
ems to throttle enterprise Of every char
acter and TO paralyZe industry every
where The body of the Chandler bill
declares that it shall he unlawful for
different and competing merchants,
manufacture and other producers of
commodities which are or may be the
subjects of interstate commerce, TO enter
into any contract, agreement or ar
rangement for the division of apportion-
ment among themselves or with others
in like business of the whole or any Of
their gross or net earnings. or for tie
restriction of production in their bust
ness. or for the fixing of prices OF conf
moditieS by the order or recommends
tion Of representatives designated on
behalf of the various parties 10 any
contract or agreement or 10y the order
or recommendation of the majority of
such representatives for the mainten-
ance of prices of commodities once fixed
or the enforcement of any such CON
upon any of the parties thereto, and
each day of the continuance of any
such contract shall be deemed a separ-
ate offense; provided, however, that
under conditions named in the bill, it
shall be lawful for such merchants.
manufacturers and producers 10 enter
into such contracts. agreements or ar
rangementS which shall ne enforcible
between the parties thereto.
The bill then gives the interstate CON-
merce commission supervision over the
business done by merchants. manufac-
turers and other producers under agree
ments made in pursuance of the au-
thority given by this bill and by the in
tersiate- commerce Act. The body Of the
Foraker pooling bill is adopted by Sen
ator Chandler, but for the words used
IN the railroad business" he substitutes
throughout the bin the words used in
manufacturing and trade"

DRUM-HEAD MURDER.

Whatever may be the criticisms of
Morgan's attitude in the senate touch
ing Cuba's cause, one thing is certain,
and that is every fair minded man will
vehemen1y protest if General Rivera
is shot by order of Weyler. 1t would
be an objectionable outrage which
would receive the condemnation of the
civilized world. 1t would be a drum
head murder, furnishing occasion for
the United States TO interfere and rec
OgniZe the insurgents, in order that so
barbarous 4 warfare as that which
Spain is prosecuting may not be any
longer waged. No civilized nation
would permit a brutal general Like
Weyler TO butcher prisoners of war in
cold blood. 1t would be stain upon
the name and honor of Spain if Rivera
is shot, and il will be the duty of the
American government 10 protest.
