Old Magazines Wanted

When our pupils attempt to investi-
gate any topic beyond the limits of the
Textbook, to search for points on a
subject for debate, or gather material
for an essay, they are made to feel sore
ly the want of reference library. The
magazines, old and new, are full of just
such material as we need and would
consequently be very acceptable gifts.
BY classifying and indexing they could
be made quite convenient for reference
Kindly send us any magazines you may
not care for.

more than the whole of Great Britain
we must look for some other solution
of the problem
The favorite explanation now among
American shipping men is that the la
Dor cost of construction here is so
great. and that their running expenses
are so high, owing to the princeIy
wages and the luxurious fare lavished
upon their crews, that they are unable
to compete with foreigners. But peo-
pie who know the rcputat ton of Amer
lean ships among seamen find it hard
to take this hypothesis at its face
value.
Certainly the difference between the
wages of American and foreign ship
wrights and sailors is no greater than
that between the wages of American
and foreign locomotive builders and To-
connective engineers. Yet we are able
to build American steel machines to
run on land. operate them by the most
highly paid labor known in that line
and haul freight with them cheaper
than it can be hauled anywhere else in
the world. Why can we not do the
same thing with steel machines to run

Hearst have agreed to support Cleve-
land if he be nominated, that gentle
mans stock appears to be coming up.
If a possibility should arise for STAN
peding the convention in the direction
of Princeton, there is little room for
doubt that it will be improved by the
Olney and Harmon men and by many
of the Parker men.

The race problem seems likely to
plague the British colonies Of South
Africa as greatly as it has portions of
the United States. The blacks are per-
mitted the suffrage in Cape Colony on
the same terms as the whites the pos
session of a yearly income of $50. They
are being educated with the whites in
the public schools, and go per cent of
the pupils are black. They nave or
ganized a powerful African Methodist
Episcopal church of their own. and
their votes are being sought by both
the white parties. Some of the blacks
are already boasting of the time when
the Kaffirs will boss the whites. IN
asmuch as the white population of
Cape Colony is only 81 900 and the
black $4,000, there would seem to be
some grounds for this claim. However.
the white population is rapidly increas-
ing. and probably its voting power is
advancing more rapidly than that of
the blacks, who as yet muster consid-
erably less qualified voters than the
white population.

THE SHIPPING MYSTERY.
IFrom the New York world.l

From the New Y DIRK World
The marine commission which began
its sessions in this city yesterday may
succeed in throwing some light upon
the hitherto insoluble mystery of the
disappearance of the American flag
from the high seas.
Shortly before the civil war the
American merchant marine was the
greatest in the world. In 1860 we had
1888, sos tons of shipping, against 4
e5S.6S7 tons for Great Britain. The next
year we had $3.50. s1S tons. For some
time it was the custom to attribute the
subsequent decline to the depredations
of the Confederate cruisers, but that
explanation was disposed of by the fact
that our tonnage was greater in the
year the war closed than at any time
in the next 35 years.
Then the favorite theory was that
the change from wooden to iron ship
building in. the ffties had transferred
the power of cheap construction from
America to Europe That explanation
was all right as long as our metal in
dustries were weak, but now that we
hold the unquestioned primacy of the
world in iron and steel, of which a
single American company works up

MehI can play about as well as any
backStOp in the Valley league Both
Pittsburg and Leavenworth were in
need of man to go into the cage So
both made oVertures to Mehl. Leav-
enworth got to him first and he
agreed to report there last Monday to
try out Pittsburg came to Topeka on
Monday and needed a catcher, Sc
Deaugh having broken his leg
couple of days before. Mehl consent
ed TO catch simply as a try-out- He
suited Pittsburg to a finish, and Man
ager Baldwin wanted to sign him
right then and there. But right after
the Plttsburg game Mehl got up and
went off to LeavenWorth to play with
the Orioles. Manager Baldwin began
to kick up the dust, saying he had
first lien on the little Wash burnite.
Mehl would have played in Leaven-
worth tuesday, but it rained. Yester-
day was on off day on the schedule,
and consequently he did not play
again Both teams claimed him, and
were trying 10 patch up some KIND or
deal. Last night Mehl quietly
packed up his grips and came to To-
peka- When his friends found him
this morning they wanted to know the
why and wherefore.
Not going to play professional ball
this summer. That's ALL" said Mehl-
NO particular reason. Was made
some nice offers, but simply don't
want to-"

go this spring any more.''
There is little question but what

and should he play professional ball it
would put him under the ran of the
conference rules. He can return to
college and still not be barred from
the athletic teams. He states that
ne PAID all of his expenses to Leav-
enWorlh and vas not reimbursed.
manager Baldwin of Pittsburg states
that he paid nothing to MehI. and
none OF his expenses. The I,eaven-
worth management is ready to make
similar statement. So if any of the
