The statement that Eugene Crum has
resigned as the populist nominee for
congress in the Third district, which re-
Gently made its appearance in a number
of fusion papers, is branded as canard
by DR.. Bryant, secretary of the central
committee. He is certainly in a posi-
ton to learn of such a resignation if
there had been one and he would surely
have heard of the fact if he had been
appointed to fill the vacancy. 1t is such
transparent falsehoods as these that are
hurting the fusion cause and will make
populist votes. The fusionists are
sprlnging their roorbacks too early in
the campaign and they are likely to
prove boomerang with disastrous eff.
fects. How Congressman Robinson can
allow his lieutenents to resort to such
tactics without administering severe
rebuke is astonishing. 1t is very evil
dent that the fusion trust fears the popu-
list movement and means to discredit
it by fair means or foul.

This is not campaign argument of

the Union, has so far as in its power,
dissolved it. Il II Under its repeated

1t seems to be quite generally conceded
that Helen Gonger and Mary Ellen
Lease are two Of the most abusive
speakers of the campaign. They use
the advantage of their sex in most ma.
lignant terades against the leaders in
the two parties and the result is more
harm than good to the cause they claim
to represent. There is no occasion for
abuse in this campaign and if party
cannot present logical arguments to
support its stand 1t should retire from
the platform. 1t is probable that neither
party would be the loser by retiring
both women from the political arena.

1t does not require very old person,
or one with an infallible memory. to
recall the time under Cleveland when
hogs in this country were given away
by the carload by farmers who could not
afford to buy feed for them; when they
had no corn and the price was 80 cents
bushel. Nor does it require the turn
ing back of the pages of time many
years to recall the situation when the
farmer very sensibly figured that it was
cheaper to burn corn than it was to sell
it and buy coal. These are pleasing"
rememberances of democratic pros
perity" not easily forgotten. They
were the two extremes. Times of
radical fluctuations in prices prevailed
and the Nebraska farmer was loser
both ways. When he had no corn and
was compelled to buy he ;paid 30 cents
bushel. When he had corn to sell the
price was 6 to 10 cents bushel. And
the fusionists are now trying to con.
vince him that that was prosperity, '
that times were better then than they
are now. They will quote that 50-cent
a-bushel- -for.corn price with a smirk and
the remark weren't those grand ole
times?" and to'..the exclusive consumer
they will go with'nthe 7-cent price ant
make the same kind..of remark. None
of them are likely to be misled. They
will like time better when prices have
some sort Of stability and can be figured

UNIVERSITY NOTES
A Return Game With Indians to Be
 Played at Tucson

His many friends in Phonsix will be grieved to know that Will Marian. the big left guard on the University team. is lying very sick at the university His condition has been such that the doctors have not thought it wise tn move him 50 he has besn made as com fortable as conditions will permit. in one of the sunny south rooms. He was taken i'll last Tuesday, and his mother and aunt arrived the next day to take him in charge. MT. Marian was notified, at his mine, north of Phoenix, as quickly as word could be got to him, and arrived at the univer- sity Friday morning.
 Dr. Hughes, of Phoenix, was sent for, and is in charge of the case. The stu dents have been particularly interested in the case, and, with the quietness of the building and the excellent care he is receiving. there is a we'll grounded hope that the patient will recover.
 The university eleven has challenSeI the Phoenix Indian school team for a return game, to be played in Tucson. Saturday, December 9. It has been accepted, and both teams are hard at MOIh pIdGlltlllS LuI lle COHL+St. l inS game will be the first big game Tue son has ever witnessed, and promises to be as good one as was ever played in the territory. The University boys made good showing on Thanksgiving day and, although their play showed plenty of room for improvement, they surprised Phoenicians. Material is not lacking, and with the experience gained with the last game, and two more weeks of conscientious team work, the boys hope to blot out the de feat of last Thanksgiving.
 Friday night was Longfellow night at the Philoma thean society. The evening was delightfully."- spent with instrumental and vocal selections fol- lowed by an hours delving among the treasure volumes left as a life work Of a grand old man.
 Considerable interest has been shown lately in tennis. The game is grew ing in favor at the university among the students of both sexes and every evening sees the courts lively with groups of spectators and sets of pla y- CTS. It is gratifying to note the spirit with which the young ladies ar= adopting the sport as an eXerc!se and already the school can boast of some very passabie knights and ladies of th= racket.
