This is what DIR. John Bascom,

ri mean the Chicago Univer-

ton of the youth of the public, ac-
cepts money which has been gained
in direct defiance of laws aud
prime pies laid down by that public
it vitiates its influence OH the
minds of those students upon
whom it is its duty to exert a
good and moral influence.
81 never go near the divinity
school in Chicago without wanting
to tell them what | think of their
accepting money made by under
selling of poor men, crowding
them out of business and immedi-
ately raising the price Of wares
which you will allow others to
sell; accepting, | say, this money
out of the ruin of good and hon
es tradesmen, and trying to train
young men to the gospel with this
money and under the influence of
such men. For if you accept that
money you are under obligations
to and so under the influence of the

whole thing is wrong"

REPRESENTATIVE Hiatus succeeded in
having the Biggs binding-twine
bill passed by the House this af-
ternoon by vote Of ia to 5,
after short and sharp debate that
called down the protests of the
supporters of the measure on the
heads of the few oppouen S.
Some time ago Senator Biggs
introduced aud passed a bill in
the Senate providing for the es-
tablishment of a binding Irvine
factory in the Penitentiary.
Thirty-five thousand dollars is Sc
aside to purchase equipment and
machinery and $15, 900 for a new
building. The sum of $l25, 0GO is
to be used as a revolving fund.
Hams moved that the rules be
suspended aud the bill taken up
for final passage shortlyafter th g
Governors message had been read.
The motion was carried without
dissent. He then told nf the
great need for lower prices for
binding Irvine.
"The trust charges us just as
much as it sees fit" he said. eff
we establish this factory, we can
have a relief from au oppressive
monopoly"
Tichacek of st. Louis arose to
protest against the bill. 1--WE
have thousands and thousands of
employees in st. Louis" he said,
"who are working in Irvine factor
les. Why should the State put
convict labor in competition with
themH"
Hams, O'Fallon, CresOn, Smith,
and Farley asserted that no bind
ing Irvine was manufactured in st.
Louis or Missouri. Gibson of
Charlton protested against the
passage of the measure. On ques-
tons by Haines, he admitted that
he was a dealer in the article.
On roll call only five voted
against it, they being Gipson.
Riley, Selph, Tichacek and Dolan.

A dreamer and q man Of action
loved woman.
The dreamer said: 81 shall write
verses in her praise; they will touch
her vanity, and she will love me for
them"
But the man of action said: How
old-fashioned. shall corner the stock
market, and that will bring her."
So the dreamer wrote verses, and he
induced friend of his, who ran 10
cent magazine, to print them. And
the man of action cornered something
or other, and became a Millionaire.
In the meantime the girl married q
man who inherited his money, and
lived happy ever after.
But the dreamer was so proud of his
verses that he didn't care, and the
man of action was so busy that he
didn't care.
The only one to suffer was the man
she married.-Smart Set.
