Social Science Club Meeting.

ID Z
The regular fortnightly meeting of
the Social Science Club came OH on
Tuesday evening. The business part
of the meeting was mainly the con-
sideration and arrangement Of the
years program. The name Of Mr..
sGnbin was proposed for membership
and his election was unanimous.
The paper for the meeting was en-
titled criminology by Chas M. ]. Stew
ems, and It was one of the best papers
yet presented to the club. MI, Steys
ems has had the subject under investis
cation for nearly q year, and the paper
embodied the results of the study of
eminent specialists on this most in
teresting subject. The paper should
be published SO that the pleasure and
instruction it impaired to the club;
members might be more widely ex-
tended. Mr. Stevens offhand talk,
closing the discussion that followed
the reading of the paper was decidedly
enjoyable.

him possessed of much nerve to think
he could be elected governor. but it
was an exceptionally good year for

likely to have one and there certainly
should be no break in the chain here.
In fact there were very plausible fig
ures to base the hope of a democratic
governor in this state upon -Four
years ago the republican majority in
this state was $4,000. He estimated
that 1000 populists and 5000 gold dem

to make that majority. That vote
taken from the republicans and given
to the democrats would make differ
ence Of 24,000, and thus give him 1O,-
900 majority. 1t is true that 10000
new voters have come into the state,
