The faculty acted wisely when they decided to open the University on Friday nights. The new interest that is being taken in the various literary organizations clearly demonstrates this.
We gratefully acknowledge the receipt of a large bundle of back numbers of the COURIER, sent to us by J. D. McLaren. We hope soon to have all of the COURIERS from beginning to date conveniently bound in volumes for the use of students in the library.
THE Washburn Reporter accuses us of clipping from its columns without giving due credit. If this has ever been done, it was an oversight, for we should indeed feel humiliated to publish as original any thing that had been written by the brainless chumps that edit the Reporter.
FROM a casual reading of the college papers from all parts of the country, the interest in oratory seems to be at low ebb. Athletic contests, last spring in Eastern colleges, were of such an interesting nature that students have not ceased thinking and
talking about them. In this connection we may urge our own speakers to make thorough preparation for the local contest. Let us have more speakers this year. Let all who have any ambition in this direction enter for the contest. Even those who fail will have gained much training.
THERE is one thing that the Courier desires to call attention to and which should interst every student. At the recent Y. M. C. A. state convention held in Abilene, the University, the head of the educational institutions of Kansas, sent but one delegate, while little colleges, not much better than high schools, sent three, four and five. It is to the interest of us all to see that our University is largely represented in such meetings. The delegate we sent was a very able one but we should have had a dozen there. We ought to have shown the whole convention that the State University leads in Y. M. C. A. work as it does in all other things.
Oratorical Meeting.
The question may be asked, "Why spend time in bringing to light supposed sixth century manuscripts of half completed English poems, when the average student can not find time to read a few of the modern authors?"—Times.
The above fully illustrates the scholarly attainments and high appreciation of literature possessed by the Times. And especially does it appear the more ridiculous when it is known that the "half completed English poems" referred to, are donations to our library from a noted man in this state who has always taken an active interest in the welfare of K. S. U., and is now placing many valuable works in the library at his own expense. What would be the feelings of this man could he see such appreciation of his gifts! No doubt he would feel proud that his benefactions bad been bestowed upon such an intelligent(?) and appreciative(?) lot of students as the Times represents. But, fortunately, the limited circulation of this "representative sheet" of K. S. U. forbids the possibility of its ever reaching the gentleman's notice. It is to be hoped that the Times will endeavor to cultivate a small amount of literary taste, enough at least to enable it to criticise justly and intelligently. And that in the future when speaking of things concerning which it knows nothing, it will at least have the good grace not to speak ill of them. Finally, we would recommend it to spend a part of each day in considering the fact that "beggars should not be choosers" and that "benefactors should be revered."
Room No.11 was crowded Tuesday morning when Dent Hogeeboom called the meeting to order. Otis and Street were nominated for temporary secretary. A roll call was demanded, and Street put in a claim for the secretaryship until a successor was elected, on the ground that he had been elected by the executive committee, which consisted of Mushrush, Kellog and himself. The election was held during the absence of the chairman, Mushrush, and without his knowledge. The friends of Otis protested that it was the business of the presiding officer to appoint a temporary secretary. However the point was allowed to pass, and Street commenced to call the roll. The name of Brewster was omitted and Street refused to insert the name. Mr. Brewster presented a share signed by the president and secretary. Mr. Street had sold the share caused by the vacancy of Mr. Brewster's share (which the secretary gravely announced he had annulled) to Mr. Taylor, and had recorded it, although it lacked the signature of the president, which, according to the constitution, is necessary to make a legal share. In the good humored confusion which followed, L. A. Stebbins surprised his admirers by announcing that he claimed a vote because he was an honorary member of the state association. After the laughter had subsided, the meeting adjourned.
in the speech that is attributed to him in the circular just sent out by Messrs. Stebbins, Harrington, Bestrop, Draper and Allison. This is the circular in which those undersigning it accuse Gen. Rice of promising that Canfield should be discharged in the event of Humphrey's election.
Among the number of duck shooting parties Saturday were those of Herbert Armstong, Frank Edson and Ed Bassett, who took in the ducks at the lake, and the party of Pickering, Hadley and Deverell, who annihilated the creatures up the river.
Political Science Club.
At 8 p.m. last Friday, instead of 7:30, as at first intended, the Political Science Club met in Professor Canfield's room. Ed Martindale had a commendable paper on the Senate, and Mr. Scharder on the House Proceedings. Miss Mamie Pugh's paper on Pauperism was much appreciated by the club. Mr. White reported on Immigration and John Mushrush expounded Finance and Industry. The entire program was carried out except that Street was too busy with oratorical schemes to be present.
UNIVERSITY POLITICS.
Republican Club.
The University Republicans deny attn Gen. Rice made the remak
At the hall of the Young Men's Republican club, University club assembled Tuesday night and held another rousing meeting, seeming all the more enthusiastic on account of the fray that was promised for the following night. Mr. Martindale presided on account of the absence of President Wilmoth. Ackley, Workman, Pomeroy and Martindale warmed up on the subject of the grand old party. Mr. Wheeler closed the program with a song. The club now meets regularly on Tuesday night, instead of Friday night.
THE JOINT DISCUSSION.
A. L. Wilmoth, president of the Republican club and Dick Horton, president of the Tariff Reform presided. The first speaker was Mr. C. E. Street, who compared the periods of free trade and protection in this country, and the English laborer with the American. Harvey F. Bear was the next speaker. Mr. Bear said if the manufacturer could be supposed to pay higher wages in proportion to his profits, the theory that protection increased the price of labor would probably have some foundation. Mr. Bear referred to the Carnegie iron-works and others, and closed by reading extracts from the works of Rebublican writers and speakers.
Mr. J. Wade, the next speaker compared the wages of American citizens with the wages of the laborers in free trade countries, and showed that the condition of the country during the free trade periods was not as prosperous as the democrats maintained. He described the condition of affairs during these periods. Mr Cooper closed the argument for for the negative by describing the benefit free trade had given to England.
The next joint discussion of the political clubs will be on the 3rd of November. The question will be "Resolved, that Protection does not benefit the American farmer."
Dr. Lippincott's Return.
The Chancellor got back from his two weeks trip Tuesday,and expressed himself as well pleased with it. While away, he visited the Mound Training school at St Louis, the Smithsonian Institute at Washington, the University of Pennsylvania and Princeton College. He was present at the laying of the corner stone of the new library of the University of Pennsylvania.

Marie Prescott.
Justice rendered to this wonderfully gifted woman would be extravagant praise if applied to almost any other actress upon the American stage. Beautiful of face, faultless of form, queenly of presence and perennially great in art, her imperishable work in roles has made her name a monument in art and has contributed as much as any other cause to keep alive the public interest in those ideal women of the stage whose survival is the safeguard of the legitimate drama. Since her debut in 1877 she has never lowered her exalted genius to the enactment of a single unclassical role, and for this reason if no other she deserves the respect of every earnest admirer of true dramatic art. The name of Marie Prescott has ever been synonymous with all that is finished in art, and will remain transcendant in public esteem as long as a Rosalind has wiles to charm, a Portia grandeur to exalt or a Juliet tragic force to awe or electrify. On Monday evening of next week this distinguished artiste will be seen at Bowersock opera house as Portia in The Merchant of Venice, of which character she is the most noted exponent now upon the stage.
