University Lecture Course.
Editor of the Counter:
On account of the numerous breaks in regard to the University lecture course we desire to make the following explanation. Last fall Henry George, Riley and Kenan were promised us by Major J. B. Pond, of New York, and on his assurance these men were advertised. A letter from Pond dated Sept. 26 reads as follows: "I enclose contract for Mr. Kennan Feb. 10th. Henry George you can have late in January or February. He wants to do all his lecturing in a bunch. I will ascertain as to the date I can give you on Riley."
Any fair minded person can see from this that the committee were justified in advertising these men. Henry George had to spend the winter in the Bermudas on account of poor health or else he would have appeared on the course. Riley in a letter on Nov, 5th says, "No one has authority to make dates for me as I am not lecturing this season." The contract for Keennan was broken without reasonable excuse and in consequence legal proceedings have been commenced against Pond. The University lecture course deeply regrets these unfortunate yet unavoidable circumstances, and has been making and is making every effort to secure satisfactory substitutes.
In place of Riley, Eli Perkins was substituted, as he was the only humorist obtainable, and we assure all who will hear him tonight that they will be well pleased. In regard to the other vacancies we cannot at present state, but hope to be able to secure able men in place of Kennan and George. But if this fail rest assured the University lecture course will do the fair thing. If we are not able to fill out the course matters will be settled satisfactorily to all.
The Lotus Glee club will be at the opera house April 4th. This is the finest concert company on the road and costs the course $200. We thank our friends for their patronage and assure them that everything will be settled in a satisfactory manner.

The Question of Athletic Grounds.
At a meeting of the Athletic committee held Friday last, the question of permanent location of athletic field was decided and put in the way of permanent settlement.
The committee decided in favor of the Massachusetts street grounds and declared themselves prepared to close the deal subject to one proviso.
They declare themselves prepared to contract to pay $6,000 for as fine an athletic field as ever laid flat on the ground, provided the students of K. S. U. with the help of the citizens of Lawrence will raise enough money to provide a suitable grandstand and permanent fence.
Those of us who are interested in
athletics, (and who is not?) have now an opportunity to do something for the advancement of that interest of K. S. U. We believe that the choice made by the committee is not only wise but popular with the students of the University.
The proviso to purchase leaves the matter in the hands of the students. On us rests the success of a movement which will redound to the credit of our Alma Mater.
This will not be accomplished by a small majority subscribing 50 cents or $1 and then hang off paying for a month or two in payment. Let us have a fully attended mass meeting early next week, learn from those who know what is required of us and then roll up our sleeves and do something for old Rock-chalk.

Ode to the Metre,
What Gilberg in his affidavits said of thee,
Oh metre tell us truly is it so?
That by instructions of the lighting company,
Thou oft are regulated to run fast or slow?
Thy gas'ly face here on the mantle now I see.
Where eight day clock once told my time to go.
Her papa put you there, with fell economy.
to make it know how gas and time doth flow.
Ah, well and now alone from sympathy for thee
That thou mightiest rest from arduous nightly toll.
We'll turn off gas, by love's bright light we'll see.
And schemes of papa, time and gas man fail.
Fi's two, what ho! like time and tide art
thou I see,
And ever moving though now fast,
now slow.
Yet mortal hand has never once stayed true
Off turned the gas or on, thou 'rt always on the go

German politics will scarcely seem itself any more with Bismarck retired and Windthorst dead. In the opinion of some Windthorst was as great a man as Bismarck himself, and only failed to be as famous because he was a Roman Catholic and leader of the Roman Catholic party in Germany. As it was he wrested from the German government more privileges for members of his church than any one before him was able to do. He managed his party in the German parliament with the skill of a Cavour. He held them together as one man. Often when Bismarck wanted a majority for any favorite measure he was obliged to call the clerical party to his aid. In return for their votes Windthorst always secured additional advantages in the famous kulturkampf. He exacted the fullest price for his party's compliance in the matter of votes. If he had been on the side of the state religion in Germany there is no honor he could not have aspired and reached. And there is none who can take his place.

Large cities ought to have at least one municipal lodging house, apart from the police stations, where decent strangers who have no money can go for a night's lodging. It often happens that excellent people who are not acquainted with city ways find themselves in need of just such a lodging house. Women and children get lost, strangers are robbed and swindled, and strangers are robbed and swindled, and it is not fair to them to put them into a lodging with police criminals. Decent, cleanly quarters ought to be provided.
The failure of a bank in Illinois will cause serious loss and inconvenience to some savage chiefs on the Congo, it is said. The reason of it was that the bank was the depository of a considerable fund which supported the Congo missions that were under the charge of Bishop Taylor. The missionaries appear to have practiced hunting native children from the chiefs and putting them into the Christian schools. They called this "trendening" the youthful egreses. They educated them to civilized lives. The missionaries got boys for nothing, but girls they had to pay thirty dollars apee for. Meantime the chiefs got rich and fatt, and everybody was happy all around. It seems, however, a peculiar way of suppressing the slave trade.
