 The motion that a modern college course is essentially a rich boys blessing is greatly shaken by figures just collated with regard to the students of Columbia University. 1t is as closely established as may be that fully 40 per cent of the young men at that institution earn DOT ton of the money necessary to take them through. Ten per cent of them earn half of their college money. About per cent earn the whole sum- including living expenses.

Congressman Hit has jumped into the Illinois senatorial scrap, but his chance for hitting the job cannot be rated A l.
 There seems to be rivalry between King Eddy and General Butler as to which shall be the whole thing i'll the tight little island"
 Charleston's exposition was opened with a sample of Chauncey DepeW s best pro-nuptia1 oratory. Here's hop ing it better luck financially than Buff falo had.
 The ship subsidy job has had few of it's ugly spots covered up, but It IS the same old steal in principle, and the democrats in congress will be ex- cusable for resorting to any sort of tactics to prevent it's getting through.
 The movement alleged to exist in congress to force the Cubans to ask for annexation by refusing them fa- vors is not creditable to those engaged therein. It has been believed by many American statesmen, from Jef- ferson to the present day, that the an nexation of Cuba was inevitable, but that offers no excuse for unfair meth ods to bring it about.
 Really, Governor Savage of Ne braska ought to feel ashamed if he doesn't of dismisslng his private secre- tary because of fear of his rivalry when the next republican state conven- tion meets. He has taken the surest way of giving Mir Lindsay a boost fol the republican nomination for governor and as he is chairman of the state cen tral committee he is in q position tC take full advantage of it.
 A little consistency on the trust question would improve a consid erable portion of the press. Al though continually saying that it is tht states that should control and curb tht power of the trusts within their Dor ders, as soon as a. state executive moves against the big railroad trus and invites the cooperation of other state executives, these papers sheer d him as though he had committed { crime.

Attorney Knox was con firmed by the senate yesterday after a delay that was very tantalizing to the president So far as can be learned such a thing is un- precedented in the confirmation of q cabinet officer and the delay argued the greatest lack of confidence ill the discretion of the chief executive. The delay in confirmation was simply a concession to the labor organizations, which have objected to MT Knox on the ground of his alleged connection with the trusts, but that made it none the less mortifying to MT Roosevelt.

The decision rendered on Friday by suited in q bitter disappointment for q large majority of the people of the United States. The selection of AG- miral Dewey as president of the court led people to believe that Admiral Schley would receive the fairest treat ment and that a verdict which would practically exonerated him would be rendered. Some of the more conserva- tive pointed out that on merely tech nical grounds the court might be obliged to find that the admiral had been negligent of certain duties, and no one believed that Admiral Dewey would finch from criticising his broth CT officer if he found grounds for so doing. As it is, the people have, from the minority report submitted by Ad- miral Dewey, grounds for believing that even from technical standpoint there was nothing feprehensible in Ihe admirals conduct and, at the same time, they have the opinion of the ma jority of the court that he was guilty on every count of the ''precept." Need less to say the friends of the admiral feel that the navy department knew what it was doing when it selected the officers who sat with Admiral Dewey and that fair trial has not yet been had. Attorney Raynor who worked so hard to clear his friend from every charge, expresses himself as bitterly disappointed and believes that Admiral Schley should appeal to the civil courts for vindication. Whether Admiral Schley will feel that he can afford such course or not remains to be seen. In the meantime it is believed that congress will take up the mat | ter and make thorough investigation looking not only to an examination of the acts of Admiral Schley in the prem
 ises, but with further view to ffxing
 the blame for the Maclay history, and
 if it finds Admiral Schley innocent of
 the charges of the '.precept," to bring
 ing to light those persons who are re
 sponsib1e for what looks like q perse cution.

NATION DIVORCE SUIT,

Q.-How old are you, MT Nation?
 Al am B. The defendant, my wife, is 54.
 Q.-Was Mrs Nation a professor of religion when you married her?
 A.-Yes, she belonged to the Chris tian church, and so did l.
 Q.-State when the first serious trou- ble occurred.
 A.-Well, was preaching at .he First Christian church in Medicine Lodge. When I was preaching slle would get up in the midst of my ser mons and speak out, saying: sIt's not so" or she would quote passages of Scripture.
 Q.-What further trouble?
 Al spoke to her and told her to keep quiet. She did, and then organ ized Sunday school class, which met ill the court house. It was composed of children from all over town. They would march over town and sing. Things became so objectionable in the Lodge that I had to quit my charge.
 Q.-During all these years from 1895 till now, how has the defendant treat ed you?
 A.-When she was at home it was a contiual jaw, jaw, jaw. She had a disposition to boss. me in everything She took some of the furniture and traded it for young horse that was badly crippled. She doctored it up and traded it for another horse. which she claimed as her own. l fed and cared for the animal, however, and the fur niture she traded for it was mine, too. Then another time I had $500 in the nd csb al. vr1 T bought property here. She signed the ton. was in the Territory when she did all this.
 Q.-What else has she done?
 A.-Well, it would be hard to say all that she has done. She has called me what all. She would call me these names in the presence of visitors, and say she had to make the living
 Now, MT Nation,' interrupted Judge Gillett, "I might not call bad what you would call bad, so tell me | just what she said you were'' ''She called me a hell hound" re- piled Mir Nation. 'sand a hypocrite. a pauper and a yillain-that last being the common name she had for me'' Q.-Did she ever write any letters about coming back? (After she had started on her smashing tour.) These letters were produced, and while they were being read aloud Mrs Nation cried for the first time. She soon regained her composure, and then | it was that she started toward David, threatening to slap him. Her attor. neys succeeded ill keeping her back. | o@ 4f~ Jnf a1.4 \ 1 lowing:
 You are not needed in Wichita al all, but the 'Smasher's Maip will need l your help. I will go down to Wichita to that farce of trial. am going 1c do Gods will just as he told me. Dc not tell anyone what I write you, you old fool. Burn all the letters I have sent you. Kiss Jack for me. Wife"
 By Attorney Martin--Who was this Jack she wanted kissed?
 A.-Why that was a dog.
 Mir Nation seemed indignant. When the dog was mentioned Mrs Nation seemed touched and cried soft ly. She had the dog in the court room with her.
 Mrs Nation stated that soon after they were married they went to Texas They resided on a farm. l Q.-What was the first crop on youl farm?
 A.-Cotton.
 Q.-Who put it in?

The first public example of the dig nified and concerted opposition which win be offered by the democratic minority in congress was afforded hy the dissenting report of the democrats of the house committee on ways and
 Which was presented to the house on last Friday Mir Richardson presented the minority report which denounced the measure as another step in the well marked line of imperialism"
 The report goes on to say that We oppose the whole policy of the majori-
 ty i'll dealing with the Philippine
 Archipelago. We believe that instead
 of the effort they are making to set up and hold permanent colonies, there should long since. have been inau-
 gurated policy assuring to the people of those islands stable government and their ultimate independence. The re-
 port goes on to demonstrate how thor oughly impractical, even from a com
 mercial standpoint, is the republican
 policy and submits that in addition 10
 the original $2O,0OOOOO paid to Spain for the islands it has cost the govern
 ment the past year $85,OOO,0OO to main- tain the army of occupation, without | taking into account the increased eX- pense of naval service and the appall- l ing number of lives which have been sacrificed. In return for all this the United States has received from the islands trade amounting, during the past year, to $5,427 ,7O6, while foreign
 nations have received Philippine trade
 amounting to $4S,00O,0OO during the
 same period. The minority report will,
 of course have no effect upon the
 course of the majority and the bill will be discussed during the next two 4 days and on Wednesday afternoon
 will be passed by the house. Mir Rich
 ardson's report may, however. have
 the effect of opening the eyes of the public to the frightful price the couh- l try is paying for the qualification of republican imperialistic ambitions.
