F. MOTTO — Fraternity Rule Must Be Broken.
Entered at the Post Office at Lawrence, Kan.
pae, as second class matter;
LAWRENCE JOURNAL COMPANY.
Poor fraternity system.
ANOTHER sample of fraternity disintegration in K, S. U.
AGAIN it is the COURRIER's lot to herald the severed connections of two young ladies from their sisterhood, which they entered as the ideal of all that was sweet in life. "Honorably dismissed" and "resigned," are the conflicting terms now given the public by lips wont to meet in the honeyed kiss of blessed sisterhood. Within one year, seven out of the nine fraternities of K. S. U. have experienced resignations or expulsion, of members. Such is a terrible showing for fraternal feeling."

LAST weeks issue of The Louisville Republican comes to us with "all home print." For local news covering Pottawatomi county the Republican is one of our most acceptable State exchanges. Published at the home of our worthy President it was perhaps from reading the Republican he got his first ideas of aggressive, never flagging journalism. Col. Hayes, formerly of Ohio and E. D. Anderson, a young man of Kansan enterprise are the editors.
Our poor "Soporific E. C." the Review, again this week makes one of its far between visits to us. This time it is filled with slushy prepoetry re-hashed from past days of K. S. U. the effect of the reading of which pertains to the experience of the small boy in the beginning of the watermelon season. The editorial department is the only redeeming feature of the issue and even it, is quite soporific. Exchange manities to be funny at the expense of the COURIER by devoting half of his department to a nauseating attempt to say something funny. Poor old "Soporific E. C," when will it bloom again?

The publishers of The Current announce that, by a recent sale, this leading Western weekly becomes the property of George W. Wiggs, Esq., a Chicago capitalist, and that its entire management will be intrusted to Alva E. Davis, Esq., a publisher of experience and wide acquaintance and interests. The editorial direction will remain in the hands of Gustavus C. Matthews, formerly of the Louisville Courier Journal and the Indianapolis News (who has been an associate editor from the founding of the paper in 1883), and of John McGovern, late of the Chicago Tribune, who assumed the duties of an associate editor of The Current in July, 1884. We learn that with the recent purchase the differences so long existing between The Current and the Western News Company come to an end which will be profitable for both parties. Hereafter The Current will receive the aid and encouragement of this powerful distributing concern.
Remember Wiedeman when you want toys.
ONE of the most important things which the holidays produce in the was of an intellectual recreation, is the Kansas State Teachers' Association. Once a year there assemblies at Topeka, a body of the most valuable, earnest, self-sacrificing men that this enterprise State can furnish. The session for 1885 will begin Dec. 28 and last four days. The coming convention promises to be one of the best ever held in Kansas. Not only the professors but the students may be greatly benefitted by going to Topeka for a day or more. It is quite true the University is not a normal school, but every citizen needs a good general idea of our school system and of school men, their thoughts and methods. Nowhere can this be gained quicker or more accurately than by an occasional attendance upon the State Teachers association.
Once more the holidays are here. After several months of hard study, the student is glad to lay aside his books, and emerge again into the busy merry-making world. How pleasant it is "to see the old familiar faces and hear the old familiar voices again" at home. What a succession of happy associations follows the thought of Christmas holidays! What pleasures, what delightful times! As the bright hues, delicate touches and tints of light here and there relieving the dark back-ground make the canvass sparkle with the vigor and reality of life, so these pleasant recreations, coming now and then to relieve the toil and fatigue of mental discipline, are the bright spots in a students life. To-nay begins the two weeks of holiday for the students of Kansas State University,—two weeks, the COURIER hopes, of unalloyed pleasure for all. Before you leave, we ask a favor of you, and that is, that you take a copy of the COURIER home with you and show it to your friends and tell them what we are doing here as a college and induce them to join our ranks. A pleasant time to all, and may you return with a clearer mind and a better heart for study again, is the COURIER's wish.
OUR SPANISH NEIGHBORS.
The present New Orleans exposition is aiming at a laudable object. The United States ought to control the trade of the continent. Instead of that we are overshadowed by England in the ports of our next-door neighbors. We expound our views upon the Monroe doctrine while our real influence among the Spanish-American republics is small compared with that of Europe. The time is coming when we must establish closer intercourse with these countries, not only for the sake of pecuniary profit, but for the sake of continued peace and good understanding among the countries of both Americas, Political and commercial prudence would not have allowed our relations with these countries to drift at hazard this long.
In a circular recently sent out by the New Orleans commissioners, a suggestion of real worth is made. He argues that Spanish is the only foreign language of any great practical importance to the people of the United States. All the republics to the south of us are Spanish. The leading foreign market for our surplus manufactures must be Spanish-America. We must go there for business purposes, and ability to speak the language will be worth millions of dollars to us. The commissioner thinks, therefore, that our colleges should encourage students to learn Spanish. The future of our necessary intercourse with our Spanish neighbors is so evident that the suggestion should command attention.—Kansas City Times.
Such training is in demand now and no school in the United States is so peculiarly well situated, being directly in the path of this trade for such instruction, as K. S. U. Our board of regents say they have not the money. As students we say cut some other department for it. Direct practical instruction should be extended whenever possible. We believe the legislature in its coming session, the matter brought before its attention, would make the proper small appropriation necessary.
Twice per day the homes of Lawrence and thrice the business men are visited by our ever faithful, never failing mail-boys. How many think or know of the work required to get out our letters and papers with such systematic, never delaying regularity? Five o'clock a.m. these winter mornings finds Allie Diggs at his table where Lewis or Guest the night clerks have stamped "Lawrence" and dumped the night mails distributed all for the five carriers, who each takes the same from their pigeon-holes to their own tables where it is arranged as per delivery. Soon Howard Duncan and Willie Spalding are out over the west part of the city with Mr. Jas, Hughes and Walter Willis on the east and Ward Harmon over the river and we are awakened from our morning dreams by the cry of "mail." Frank Davis acts as general substitute. On the special delivery service prominent is Walter Gairnes who on the arrival of mail has a s. d. letter in our hand "winkle."
Postmaster Shannon and Assistant Woodruff are to be congratulated on the efficiency of their force and the systematic order to which everything about the office is reduced. Though the carrier system is but a few month old in our city, complaints of anykind are exceptional. No class appreciates this more than our students.
THE LIBRARY.
While the University is growing in all of its departments, those departments which are seen at a moment, and do not require investigation to appreciate their growth receive most recognition in the college papers. It is of more importance that we have a first-class library, which lends aid to all students, than that one department should be so greatly enhanced, to the neglect of the others. A library is one of the essential requisites of a university. It concerns more students than anything else connected with an institution of learning. The library of the State University is making slow but sure progress. At the last session of the legislature, the library fund was doubled, making it an annual fund of $1,000. The accessions to the library since August first have numbered five hundred and three volumes. These have been distributed through the various departments To the departments of literature, history and political science, the greatest number of additions have been made. The books treating of these subjects are used by the general body of students more than any other. Among the volumes added to the department of history and political science, forty six congressional volumes are the most valuable. Owing to the perseverance of Prof. Miller the collection of the proceedings of congress has been secured. Only eleven volumes are wanting to make a complete report of the legislative power of this country. In addition to the new volumes one hundred and fifty-four old volumes have been rebound and placed on the shelves since August first. Five daily, and fifty-three weekly newspapers are placed on file for the benefit of students. Of the daily papers, two are published at Lawrence, two at Topeka, and one at Hutchinson. The weekly papers are published in the various towns in the State. The leading periodicals of the country are received. The "Century Magazine," "North American Review," "Atlantic Monthly," "Harper's" Monthly Magazine, and magazines of music, art and science. The library is be indexed. When this work is completed the facilities for using it will be greatly increased. The system of indexing is that used in the best libraries of the East. The subjects are carded and arranged in alphabetical order. Some volumes have as many as fifty cards. The books of the library have been selected with care, and as a result all

We fell in with Mr. Wm. Stark, of San Marial, N. M., a few days since, and he said he came to this city four weeks ago so blind that he had to be led about. He could distinguish light from darkness, and day from night, but that was about all. A cataract began to grow over each eye last December, and continued to increase till it became as above stated, so blind that it was necessary for him to be led about. When he came to this city he placed himself under the treatment of Doctors Kimberlin & McKee, and was by them treated with an eye drops. The knife he had to be used. He says since he has been treated for this difficulty he can now get around by himself without assistance, and his impaired vision is constantly improving. He did not look like a blind man, nor like one that four weeks ago had to be led around, and yet this is the account he gave of himself and how he came to see. That tender member, the eye, had passed under the surgeon's knife and had not suffered damage, but had rather been recovered from the night that was set ting in upon him.
Our line of black and colored dress silks, although perhaps not quite so large as a few weeks ago, represents as good qualities and popular makes as can be found in any other dry goods house in the city. If you contemplate buying a silk dress during the next year, buy it now. We save you money; we know it. L. BULLENE & Co.
