A. SHORTER COLLEGE COURSE.

sTudge Simeon E. Baldwin Advocates
 Three-Year Academic Course.
 A noteworthy contribution to dis c11ssion of the Academic University sys- tenn in the United States, is the address of Judge Simeon F. Baldwin made be- fore the Section of Legal Education Of The American Bar association. It is nlea for allowing the fourth academic wear to be spent in professional study His argument may be summarized thus:
 The professional courses have been heightened a full year within the last twenty-five years. This was necessa- rv movement, which must be retained. During this same period the preparato- ry schools have been compelled to add . wear to their course of study, owing to the increased requirements for admls- sion to the colleges and universities. This gives in the last year of the pre- paratory school course what formerly was studied in the freshman year, and has increased the average age of ad- mission from about seventeen years III 1S7O to over nineteen years in 189o.
 Meanwhile the four years of the col 1eee course has remained the same, ano Inc senior class receives instruction 1T many subjects which were formerly taken in the graduate courses The final result of this is that when mar graduates from college he is nearl! fwenty-three years old. This mean That before a man is fully educated ant ready to start in his profession hls ag' is twenty-five or even tWenty-slx.
 Professor Baldwin then goes on U say. "I believe that public sentlmen 5ustifies and will soon insist on reduc 4ion either of the time now asked iron the average student for the colleg course, or of that demanded by the pre- naratorv school Each of these lnstltu lions has been pushed into a posltlo which does not belong to it. The pre- naratory school should not De occupy ing the place formerly accorded to LII freshman year at college. The colies senior should not be occupying the piac formerly accorded to the resident grao nate" Continuing, he adds: Props blv to restore each to it's old posielo

LIVING ON MONKEY MEAT.
A Story Told by An American or SIX
 Month in Oaxaca.

A Story Told by An American of Six
 Month in Oaxaca.
 Living in Mexico is often disastrous experience to the foreigner who IS not acuuainted with localities and customs. | In the case of John Bascon and hls companion, an Englishman, named Martin Hayes, their experience was such but it was also interesting. Tn conversation with MT. Bascon that gentleman stated the following to an .'Enterprise" reporter:
 Not long ago I came up from Guatemala with an Englishman named Martin Hayes, and we had three bur ros laden with goods. We prospecteu all along the line to Tonelado, and stopped one week with an Indian at Tehuantepec. While there we learned that in the district up to Tonelaoo there was plenty of gold, as another Fnglishman had passed through there with s9,000 which he had banned out at certain point somewhere in the fegloh of San Pablo, in Oaxaca. We traced inc gold along the streams for sixty miles. and reached as far as san Mlgusl. We were very hungry by thls tine' having rnn short of provisions, and, going across the mountains, were tolu 1 that we should be careful, as bandltl 1 were numerous. Soon after two men met us not far from San Miguel ana 1 they both had rifles. They ordered us | to halt, but pulled revoVler ana LOOK their guns away from them ana marched them on in front of us. When we arrived at San Miguel one of them entered a complaint before the Jese politico charging us with holding them mn hut the Jese knew the men too well to listen to their story, and the result is one of them is still ln Jali at lifa' | place. , o
 "When we left San Miguel we secured a mozo to guide us to where the E7nglshman referred to found ms sola,

 We found his skeleton, with the legs

ONE OF THE BEST FEATURES
Of the Pyramid Pile Cure

Is the fact that it cures every form or piles without one particle of pain. This desirable point is not obtained by the use of injurious op,ates which smply deaden and paralyze the nerves of the parts and make matters worse in the long run, but it is done solely by it's re- markable healing and soothing eifects'
 And while it thus gives immediate re- lief, at the same time the disease IS not merely checked, but a radical cure IS rapidly accomplished.
 And the point we want to make clear is that all this is done without particle of pain.
 This fact is one reason for the great popularity of the Pyramid Pile cure and constitutes one very great differ ence between it and almost any other kind of treatment for piles.
 Every kind of surgical operation for piles is eXcruciatingly painful besides endangering the life of the patient and | in most eases is not to be compared with the Pyramid Cure, neither in mak- ing successful cures without pain nol 1 in cheapness and safety.
 l The Pyramid Pile Cure has been be fore the public too long and it's merits recognized by too many people to allow I it to be classed with the many salves suppositories, pills, etc., and you run n(
 risk in trying it, as is often the cast with new and untried preparations.
 If you are ever troubled with an!
 form of piles or rectal disease, do no
 forget the Pyramid Pile Cure. Pre-
 pared by the Pyramid Drug Co.,, Mar shall Mich, and sold by druggists at 5 cents per package.

would be the best solution of the pro- blem. But there are great diff faculties in the way of any reduction of the High school course. It is impossi- ble unless the college yields something, and the college is more likely to yield at the end than at the beginning of it's term of study
 Professor Baldwin suggests as a solu- tion that the academic senior should be allowed to elect the first years studies in that department which he intends to enter on leaving college. In this way It would reduce the college course to three years for those who intend to take a 1 professional education. Besides this 1t l might be advisable to grant leave or absence to meritorious students during senior year.
 In closing Professor Baldwin adds: ''But these devices are for the benefit of the man of exceptional ability. The welfare of the average man is far more l important The brilliant scholar might wait till twenty-six or tWenty-seVen before beginning his professional ca reer, with some hope of bounding al once into a practice that would be the just reward of superior talents.

ELECTIONS V

In additions to the election of Sena
tors in several States, twenty-five States
in the Union, will hold elections for
Governor and other Ssasehouse fl ,ers
this year. Little Rhode Island takes
the lead, her election occurring in
April. Next in line is Alabama, the
election there being in August. Ar
kansas holds hers in September and
Georgia in October.
In twenty other States, the cleo
tions occur in November. These States
are as follows, viz:
California, Connecticut, Idaho, Kan
ses, Maine, Maryland. Massachusetts,,
Michigan, Nebraska. New Hampshire,
New Jersey, Nevada, North Dakota,
Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Texas, Wisconsin and Wy
omiDg.
The elections in these States will
doubtless contribute much to the gay,
ETY. of the Nation, and the people will
for the first time be called upon to de-
eide as to the alibi which President Nc
KInley's General Prosperity is said to
have sworn out.

WE ARB TALKING "sEoPJ

We could fill up a page of our pa
per with kind words and other express
sions of appreciation Of the work done
by THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER, clipped
from letters sending removals and new
subscribers. While space and mod
esty forbid that we should do this, we
hope none OF our readers will construe
our failure so do this as meaning that
we do not appreciate their words Of en-
couragement. Yes, we appreciate
them, friends, and we appreciate most
Of all your work in sending new sub
scribers and renewals along with your
own renewals.
We hope every subscriber will re-
solve to send Us one new yearly sub
scriber before March LIST. Any one
who does 90 will have the date on his
label moved up two months ahead.
Send us two new yearly subscribers be
fore March LIST and you get the paper
four months free, or if you send us
three new yearly subscribers, we will
credit you with six months ahead, The
way to get new subscribers is to send
us the names and addresses Of those
who you think may be induced to sub
scribe. We will then send them sam
pies and they will become acquainted
with the paper. Later, when you call
on them and ask for their subscription,
they will know something Of the paper
and probably be ready to subscribe.
Or probably a better plan would be to
let US send you a bundle OF samples,
and as you distribute them among your
neighbours, you can speak a good word
for the paper, and you VIII be more
likely to get their subscriptions,
Whether or not you wish to solicit
subscriptions, We shall be glad if you
will, at least, drop us a postal giving
names and addresses of those who may
possibly become subscribers, and stat
ing whether OF not you will distribute
a bundle of samples for us.

We stated last week that the latest
news was to the effect that Daniel L
Russell was still Governor of North
Carolina. The Caucasian also stated
thati it was still Ec Governor Andrews.
And the Norfolk Landmark, which
doesn't like the drift of things, tells the
same tale by angrily exclaiming:
Governor Russell is evidently the
controlling stockholder in the State OF

GOES FOR BRE'R L1NNR1

In a recent speech in Congress, Rep
resentative Linney, of North Carolina,
said that If the system Of civil service
continues, he will not get 10. 600 votes
next year neither will the Republican
party in the State present force enough
to grease a gimlet to bore the hole to
bury themselves.
John Allen, Of Mississippi, according
ly pulled eff his gloves and "went for'
Mr.. Linney. In a speech made last
Tuesday MIR. Allen, referred to Linney'a
statement by saying:
"Now, I am not going to abuse the
Republican party Of North Carolina for
voting last year for that party on a
platform that said this civil service
policy should not only be continued,
but should be extended; they are not
to blame, and I will tell you why I do
not blame them for it. There was not
probably n in fifty that could read
the platform, and they knew no more
about the civil service plank than they
did about the other supposed principles
of the Republican party. Laughter
and applause

which, as your great and good friend,
| propose to apply to the State of North
Carolina. Let US grant to North Caro-.
lima in this civil service matter 'auton
omy.' Laughter. I believe that il

now in the White House is trying to dc
