College Course In Politics.

TO Columbia university belongs tho
credit of offering the first course de-
signed to give students a practical
knowledge of the conduct Of political
affairs. That institution has asked
the bureau Of municipal research In
New York to give the members Of the
class the benefit Of the experience II
has derived from the study OF the At
fairs OF that city, and the invitation
has been accepted. The growing dc
mand for the adoption OF the scien.
tific methods of city governments
lends support to the view that college
men will be in demand In this de-

the propriety and usefulness Of uni

Farm Employment for Criminals.


Gov. Harris of Ohio believes that
criminals can be employed on farm
with advantage to themselves and the
state. He proposes that prisoners In
the penitentiary who are not col
firmed criminals be transferred to the
reformatory and put to work on the
state farm. 1T Is the conditions OF
our cities that breed crime" says the
governor. Most of it can be traced
to idleness and drink, and idleness Is
frequently the cause of drink. There
Is little drink in the country and p-ac
tically no idleness. If the young mai
who had slipped over the bounds of E
law were taught scientific farming be
would come to like it and escape the
associates who carry him down Wher

William WINDOWS Story Of the Way
In Which He Routed Financiers
Who Were Selfish and
Grasping.

About year before William Win
dom. who had been United States SEN
atOr from Minnesota and secretary of
the treasury in President Garfields
cabinet, returned to public life at the
head of the treasury department in
President Harrison's first cabinet in
1889, met him in the office of CON-
mon friend. By chance the converse
ton turned upon some of the Incl
dents associated with Mr.. WINDOWS
brief service in General Garfields
cabinet.
Senator" / said, Il have always
been anxious to know how it happen
ed that you hit upon the precise plan
by which you COMPOUNDED and put to
rout many of the great banks and
bankers of the United States in the
late spring of 1872"
The senator laughed heartily,
why" he said, that plan was due
entirely to one of those curious
chances, these accidental discoveries,
out of which sometimes great triumphs
come.
you may remember that the con-
gress which sat in the last months of
President Hays's administration pass
ed an act authorizing the secretary of
the treasury to refund very large
issue of bonds which bore five per
cent. interest with new issue bear
ing only three and a half per cent. 1t
was legislation that caused the bank
ers of the country to be very much put
out. They wanted the refunding bonds
to bear at least four per cent. inter
est and, if possible, four and half
per cent, and because they did not
get what they wanted they began to
surrender circulation in very large
amounts, so large, in fact, that there
was danger of great stringency in
the money market AS / now recall It,
they surrendered about thirty millions
Of circulation in the course of four or
five weeks, and the situation was
made all the more serious by the ap-
parent intention of the bankers to sell
the government bonds which had been
returned to them by the treasury
when they surrendered circulation.
Consequently, President Hayes, not de-
string to have the money market
greatly upset and the bonds probably
deprecated, vetoed the refunding bill.
and great was the Joy of the bankers,
who felt that they had won the vic
tory.
"A few weeks later, when / became
secretary of the treasury, one of the
important matters that speedily came
before me was those five per cent.
bonds. The government would soon
have the option of redeeming them,

American cardinal, Rt. Rev. John

that he was pastor of the New York
city church where John D. Rockefeller

time there was widespread ru-

Tammany Hall crowd. 1t was ru-
