MUNICIPAL LECTURES.

In his latest effort to extend the phil
anthropic activity of municipal admin
istration. Mayor Quincy of Boston has
provided for series of Free Municipal
Lectures"
Commenting on this action OF the
mayor, the Transcript says:
Whatever may be ones opinion as to
the advisability of the expansion" Of
municipal enterprise into this and sim
liar fields. there cannot be two opinions
among those competent to judge as to
the educational value of such lectures
Certain it is, that a body of citizens, as
well as an Individual, cannot live by
bread alone" Therefore If organized
government is to concern itself with the
needs and wants of the governed
1t cannot stop with the meeting of the
mere material needs, but must go be-
yond that, as far as expediency, dis
eretion and the tax limit will allow.
The general scheme of the proposed
Free Municipal Lectures is a sort of
university extension. Or, more exactly
speaking, 1t Is a kind of school extern
sion, since the calibre of most of the
lectures is to be such as to make them
intelligible and helpful, particularly to
that class Of our inhabitants which has
not had the advantages of secondary
education. In a well ordered system of
public instruction, such work would
properly take its place with the COM
mon schools and the evening schools
whose efforts 1t means to supplement
Wltn Grass OF persons beyond the
reach OF both. Indeed, just this is the
conception of its value on the part of
the board of education of New York
city, under whose direct charge and
under the capable management of it's
agent, DR.. Henry Leipziger. an elabor-
ate course OF free lectures is given each
year in all parts of the borough.
The Washington legislature has

presidents policy. Further east people

THE BRIBERY STAGE
Has Been Reached in the California
Senatorial Contest

Sacramento, Gala, Jan. 16.-The con-
test for United States senator is grow
ing sensational. D. NJ. Burns and q.
S. Grant Jr., the leading candidates,
are holding their votes, but no signs
are being made. The statement pub
lished in San Francisco that Howard
Wright, speaker of the assembly, had
been offered money by U. S. Grant has
caused considerable excitement. Wright
alleges that he borrowed $3.50 from Mr..
Green who acts as Grants agent but
says he was in no way bound to Grant
and will pay the money back. Wright
says the money was borrowed last Au-
gust, before the campaign commenced
and that he never promised to vote for
Grant and did not intend to do so.
On the first ballot for United States
senator Wright voted for Bulla but
later changed to Burns and on the sue
ceeding ballots has voted for him.
Green says that the money was lent to
Wright, who is an old friend, and that
there was no understanding that he
was to vote for Grant. Speaker Wright
has threatened to bar representatives
of newspapers who have attacked him,
from the house. Exciting times in the
assembly are likely to occur. There
may also be an investigation by the
assembly as to the nature of Wright's
transactions with Green.

A COUNTY PRINTING ROW.
The Commissioners and Newspaper
Men of Mitchell County
in Tangle.

Reloit, Jan. 16.-The deadlock be-
tween the commissioners of Mitchell
county and the three Beloit newspapers
over the county printing matter ap-
pears to be as firm as rock.
The commissioners, two of whom
are Populists and the other a Repub-
lican, claim they acted in good faith and
on the earnest solicitation of a large
majority of the taxpayers of the coun-
ty to cut the printing bill down and
award it to the lowest bidder, no mat
ter what the politics of the paper was
Three bids were received from the Be
lott newspapers, two from the Republi-
can organs and the third from the Pop
ulist paper. The commissioners say the
bids of the Republican papers were both
lower than that of the Popu1ist organ,
but that owing to a misunderstanding
of one of the Republicans editors all
of the bids were rejected and new ones
asked for. When the next batch of
bids were handed in all Of them were

MINERS FOR EXPANSION
Resolution Opposing Annexation of
Philippines is Defeated.

Pittsburg, Jan. 16.-When the convention
of United Mine Workers resumed today it
was announced that the scale committee
had not completed its work and all MEM
bers who had suggestions were requested
to present them to the committee.
The committee on constitution reported
several amendments, which were adopted.
Among them were the following:
An increase in the executive board from
six to eight members, exclusive of the pres
ident and secretary treasurer; no district
having less than 5000 members shall be
entitled to representation on the execu-
tive board.
Resolutions were then presented oppos-
ing the annexation of the Philippines on
the ground that they are inha abited by s.
100000 persons, mostly of the coolie labor
class, and their admission would be most
threatening to American labor and to the
organized trades of the country; also OPP
posing the Endorsement by the convention
of any political party or candidates who
are opposed to the principle of common
ownership. Both were defeated.
A resolution to put forth efforts to or
ganize the miners in the anthracite region
was adopted.

Boston slums and Churches.

IFrom the New England Magazine.1
OF all the great cities OF the country
there is none where it should be easier
to put an end to conditions such as Mr.
Wadlin and Mr.. Estabrook and now Mr..
Woods and his associates have made
known to us with such startling defin-
iteness. If all men and women, private
or official, from the mayor down, to
whom the message comes, aroused to an
earnestness which would shame and
make ridiculous any poor jealousy about
precedence or exact procedure, would
unite with resolution, Boston could
quickly be redeemed. The churches

1t has been expected that Speaker
Osborn would be ready to announce his
committees when the house meets at
o'clock this afternoon, but he stated at
noon that he had not completed the
list md did not know how soon he
would be through with them.
Frescoers have been at work on his
rooms today SO that he could not get

I couldn't understand it at all. 1 spoke

Sent Part of the Wrapper.

Those who are supposed to have in
f1uence with Governor Stanley receive
many curious requests for endorse
ment for various positions. For in
stance, when Private Secretary Allen
opened his mail this afternoon he came
across a letter from an eastern Kansas
patriot, who wants most any kind of an
office under the administration, and he
asks Mr. Allen to endorse him. His
chief claim on Mr.. Allen is that he is
a subscriber for the Ottawa Herald, Mr..

he enclosed a piece of the wrapper in
which the paper had been sent him,
bearing his name and address.

TO OIL THE ROADS.
Standard Oil Co. Offers Miami County
Crude Petroleum for Experiment

Paola, Jan. 16.-The Miami County
Good Roads association will, at it's next
meeting, discuss the proposition of
using crude petroleum In constructing
roads. 1t is reported that the Standard
Oil company has offered to send free
of charge to any county desiring to
make the experiment sufficient crude oil
to make one mile of road, the county
receiving it to pay freight charges.
The manner of using the material is
said to be to construct first the usual
dirt road, which is then to be covered
with crude oil, which unites with the
soil, making a surface impervious to
water, and, at the same time, forming
a composition equal to macadam, at
much less cost
