The homjly which the grand jury reads

than absurd 1t has not occurred to
these gentlemen to attempt to show that

is usually committed after midnight goes
without saving. The attempt to charge
such circumstance to the fact, as stat
ed by the grand jury, that city saloons
are open after midnight, is simply
puerile
Let these gentlemen not forget that
during three Republican administrations

was frequent and rampant, and citizens
had virtually no security from criminals

was any honest attempt to close the

out thousands of graduates, few OF
whom will be farmers, and they not
especially prepared for farm life. The
university is well satisfied with the plan
of its school of agriculture and its dairy
school The dairy school is now suf-
iciently large TO supply experts to the
butter and cheese factories of the state,
just as some of the professional schools
have a large enough attendance to sup
ply all the men needed in the respective
professions. But the number of good
farmers needed is legion. And now, that
the school has attained such a good
who will attend will be limited only by
the number of buildings and teachers.
The authorities say that in spite of the
fact that no advertising is done that the
institution is overcrowded and that
further additions to the numbers depends
upon enlarged facilities. All the rooms
available for girls are already applied
for and only few more boys can be
accommodated with the present equip
ment. 1t is believed that no difficulty
would be experienced in bringing sew
eral hundred more scholars to this
school
The state experiment station, also, is
worthy OF enlarged facilities. Its work
in developing better knowledge of
foods and soils, its experiments in dairy
ing in growing and breeding new fruits
and grains, it's discoveries in relation to
insect pests, and in the diseases of
animals have demonstrated that it pays
the state to have the business of farming
studied by a-corps of trained scientists.

THE GENTLEMEN FROM NEBRASKA.
Since two bankers are to represent the
state of Nebraska in the United States
senate. there is hope for the Democrats
in Maine and for Republicans in Texas.
Indeed. disfranchised gentleman of
color in the South need not be surprised
should he be the choice of a Democratic
legislature in some future senatorial con-
test
If it had been predicted ten years ago
that Populistic Nebraska would open the
new century by sending two bankers to
the senate, the reckless prophet would
have been convicted of insanity on that
statement alone. railroad president
for governor of Kansas would not have
been so incongruous.
The excitement of the last campaign
in which everything was subordinated
to the national issues, allowed Banker
Dietrich to slip into the gubernatorial
chair, and the deadly deadlock gave him
a chance to slip into the United States
senate Willard, the other senator-elect,
has had no experience with national af-
fairs He has been in the banking bust
ness during his life, and now at the age
of sixty-five finds himself elected to the
United States senate from Nebraska
without his knowledge. srch is politics
in Nebraska
The opponents of the present method
of electing United States senators Will
see in this unexpected breaking of the
Nebraska deadlock a strong argument
in favor of direct election by the peo-
pie Neither of these gentlemen was
wanted by the voters, and so far as is
known neither possesses any particular
fitness for the office As a general prop
osition, an adjournment without election
is preferable to compromise on I'M

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATIoN.

The University of Minnesota is to he
congratulated upon the success of its de-
partment of agriculture at st. Anthonv
Park. This success was not achieved
without effort and sacrifice on the part of
the regents and other friends of the uni
versity. But we enjoy best those sue
eesses which have cost us dearest The
period Of experimentation has now passed
and new influence has gained a place
among our educational Institutions. The
delegations of farmers who annually visit
at the experiment farm between the two
cities always come away delighted. The
business and professional men of the
cities look upon the agricultural and
dairy schools as worthy of all needed
financial support.
Our excellent educational system has
too nearly left out the needs of those
who live on the farm. A classical edu
cation is no longer recognized as giving
shat peculiar mental drill 1-..fch will
take the place of technical knowledge in
the industries. The people have a grow

pleasant to realize that the farmers of

Excepting the few who are pursuing
the higher course in the college of aeri-
culture, or have positions as teachers or
eXpcrimenters, nearly all the graduates
of the school of agriculture have returned

farm homes and in leading in making
farming more systematic and more re-
munerative Our text books and in
structors in our universities. colleges

schools, tend to direct the ambitions of
all pupils toward the general in education.
There is too sharp contrast, gap. be-

school curriculum, and this is especially
true in relation to farmers

AVAILABLE REVENUE OF CHI,


The future negotiations over the settle

among the powers over the indemnity to

be based upon what each thinks he ought
to receive, but upon the ability of the
Chinese nation to discharge the obliga-
ton. The final demand must be based
on the available revenues of the empire
China is in the position of bankrupt
who has made as assignment for the
benefit of his creditors. He can't pay all
in full, but is willing to turn over his
assets to his creditors to be divided pro

way eliminated from the problem; what
follows is between the creditors.
From the preliminary statements of al
legged damages to be demanded by the
powers, China will be called upon to paw
