THE Courier is solely a paper of 1888.
"What is the matter with Somerville A. Mineighle?" "He is all right."
--the University. Success to the bill. It will accomplish a double purpose, that of supplying the University with a good Library building and at the same time being a fitting memorial to the heroic citizens of Kansas, who now occupy soldier graves.
THE Courier lambets the fact that a secret paper, the Night-Hawk, is published at Washburn.
It is the height of literary attainments for an editor to get off jokes in his paper, which no one understands or is interested in but himself. Yet he must have amusement.
NEXT Wednesday is the day set by the Constitution for the semi-annual election of the officers of the Times Company. If you are not a voter, why not? All subscribers can become voters.
The Review is out to day, and is the first to publish the markings of the contest. We congratulate Bro. Kellogg, but we don't think it is fair. The next thing we hear of will probably be the Century publishing the press dispatches ahead of the dailies.
The Sixth bi-annual report of the Board of Directors of the Historical Society is at hand. It is a very neat and finely edited volume about the size of K. S. U.'s annual catalogue. The report shows the society to be in a very pros' perous condition.

WE WOULD like to call the attention of our contemporary to the late contest, however unpleasant it may be. TIMES stockholders—first, second and third places. Convier stockholders—fourth place. Verily we possess the eloquence, as well as the brains and muscle of the institution.
Owing to the removal of the *Tribune*, the *Times* is unavoidably late this issue. Hereafter, now that we are permanently located, and with a new and energetic staff, the Times will be out on time with its usual promptness. Hoping that our readers will bear patiently with us, we again greet you all.
Hon. John K. Rankin has introduced a bill in the legislature to appropriate not more than $150,000 to erect a memorial ball in Lawrence to the soldiers of the state and the citizens of Lawrence, who defended the town against the raiders. This bill designates that the building shall be used for a Library building for
Another meeting has been held, it is needless to mention here, and another resolution adopted deploring the unhappy conditions which permit the inculcation of free trade theories at the Kans. University, and asking the legislature to use measures toward removing those who are perniciously active in sowing tares among the wheat. It is hardly necessary to explain that the pith and point of the resolution. If we admit it to have these attributes, bear directly upon Professor Canfield, a man of whom the State of Kansas and her favorite school have reason to be proud. Many times before has indignation raised its threatening form and clamored for the official head of Canfield, which it would carry on a pike, an object of derision to those whose heads are very small and a reminder to all that while opinions may be held with impunity they can be expressed in safety, sometimes, only with reserve.
The position of a true teacher requires that he avoid as much as possible giving the impression of personality to his instruction. The importance attaching to his work on this account cannot be over estimated; and because the structure he rears is for all time, those for whom he labors can hardly be too exacting. But the teacher, and even the just judge, shows through the cloak of authority and position more or less of the bias of the individual. The most scrupulously impartial teacher of history will unconsciously betray the name of his religious denomination as he takes his class through the record of those times when the cross adorned the hilt of the sword and paradise lay in its shadow.
Canfield has done no more that thus. Addresses which he may have made outside of the University have no more to do with the case than have the political intrigues and speeches of county superintendents and their teachers in giving to the education derived in the common schools a partisan complexion; no more than have the lectures of Canfield and others in changing the opinions of those who see no nearer a resemblance between the conditions which existee in the declining years of Greece and Rome and those of the present age in the United States than they are able to detect between the noonday and the night. Professor Canfield, the Rev. Annie Shaw, and others who entertain kindred ideas have yet to find their first convert to that belief among those who read history by the light of reality rather than by that of imagination.
It would therefore appear that those who apprehend and cry out against a spread of pernicious doctrine through the medium of the Kansas University are fighting a phantom of their own raising. Protection has been the right arm of the nation hitherto, and it will be its strength henceforward; but to demand the decapitation of those who do not cherish this idea is to confirm the belief of the opposition that our being "a rotten case, abides no handling."
The classes taught by Canfield have had no greater proportion of free traders than would be found among the same number of self-educated men miscellaneously thrown together.
It is time to let up on such resolutions as the one to which reference has been made. Truth, which is might, will prevail without them. —Neeton Republican.

THE SOD-HOUSE
In that sod house at night,
A fire breaks b light,
We are dotted without come and go.
And faces so bright, as the pure morning
light,
Are burned in the soft yellow glow.
'Tis only a sod-house yonder,
It stands on the prairies bleak.
And there nothing at all, on the outside
world.
That pleasure, or glory bespeak.
But what may we know from outward show?
Arpearances of times deceive,
As much we hear,
Though it seems very clear,
We may not always believe.
There it stands, and old quant,
While the smoke, curling faints,
Hear the thunder. And the good folk within,
He is the wind with a moan hurries by.
As the wind with a moan hurries by.
Far removed from grand sights,
life's sweetest delights,
rumors of our arrival we roam,
lifeline, at its best, though it be in the west,
Reminds us of childhood and home.
—N. W.Merrifeld.
NOT YET.
A poet with wings
May fly when he sings,
May fly when he walks around.
While his head reacts round,
A poet's defense

When things go away,
He blazes away,
Till he rouses ice
That so翠 like dreel,
That so翠 like dreel,

Till we get a res,
When we get a test,
When we can't do better,

THE SONG OF THE FARMIK!
Ho, n *jolly good am I!*

Libris kibbity
And a twink of the eye
That tells us, "I'm no guy",
The bartender and chaff.
With stories I'm arsenified,
And may I be jambred,
And may I be supplied to supply
A fruit jamboree, science club free,
Or even a Faculty high.

This has been better for Peter than Wire.
For it's made of pure peet-rol-e-um.

Make a three-foot sport I am "right."
And when no one is near

On the 'buy' alcohol I get tight.

WEAK, wan and tired looking the TIMES made its appearance in a selfish world already overcrowded, with a labored apology for its untimely birth. Foreseeing that its frail and delicate constitution cannot weather the storms, nor survive the trials and tribulations of earthly existence, with a philosophic view of life, it has already begun preparations for its departure, that it may die gracefully and peacefully. Doubtless some loving friend may be found to write its obituary and the earth shall know it no more.—Courier. Oct. 12, 1888.
H. Nux Nomica
And we are still here. We may have been weak, etc., but we are here to stay.
With this issue, the present editorial staff of the TIMES lays down the reins of authority to a new staff of editors, all of whom are unsurpassed by their literary ability and the TIMES readers, who have so patiently borne with our short comings and inabilities as newpaper writers, will draw a sigh of relief. While our productions have neither been able nor original, we have done all in our power to make the TIMES a representative paper.—a paper representing all factions, and a paper worthy of the recognition of all true and enthusiastic University students.
The TIMES is, and will be the leading college journal in the great State of Kansas, and with the greatest hopes for the future success of the dear little TIMES and further, the best wishes for its readers, we greet our superiors—the incoming editorial staff. Again kindly thanking the students of K. S. U. for the recognition of our limited ability by bestowing this great honor upon us we, remaining ardent supporters of the TIMES and its interests, take our leave of the editor's chair.
Mr. D. W. Poe, by no means deterred by the ridicule his resolution awakened, comes to the front with a bill to prohibit in all institutions under the charge of the State the teaching of any of the doctrines of the Cobden Club, and to substitute in all cases the title "President" for "Chancellor" and "Trustees" for "Regents." Mr. Poe is a fine looking man, and is neither a crank nor a wag, but a healthy appearing Republican who is tired of the effete airs of monarchy, one proposes to fight them out of a Republican State. As he repeatedly assured us he is a warm friend of the University and its faculty, and would do nothing to impair or injure its welfare. The University has no better friend in the Legislature than the stalwart member from Butler, Mr. Poe—Lawrence Journal.
If the impression we received from the above article is correct the Journal also makes a misstatement. It infers that "the Doctrines of the Cobden Club" are taught in some of the institutions of the State and that the University is one of them. We should think that the Journal is well enough acquainted with the University and its professor of Political Economy to know that "the doctrines of the Cobden Club" are not taught in the University.
We would advise the Journal man to go a little slow. Let him remember that he is advocating the same thing, in principle, that the British did when they prohibited our fathers from worshiping as their conscience dictated.
True the theory of free trade is discussed in the Political Economy class, but so is the theory of protection To prohibit the discussion of free trade theories, and this must be what the Journal and Mr. Poe are trying to do, would be to prohibit the study of political economy; that science, without the knowledge of which our statesmen would not be competent to administer the affairs of government. Can this be their purpose? We hope not. Let us rather suppose that, in their enthusiasm to farther the interests of protection, they have overshot their mark and that they will soon return to a realization of the true situation of affairs in the University.

versity.
The subjects treated by the University students in the oraterical contest, which was reported in the Capital-Commonwealth yesterday, indicate a high order of talent on the part of the young gentlemen named. It indicates further, that the lines of instruction at the University are extending in new directions. In India and elsewhere, it has a noise Demosthenes made when he talked to Greecians about Phillip of Macedon, or, instead of devoting time and talent to a rehearsal of events in which men and women now living take little interest, these fine young men take up living subjects and discuss living issues, and every one of them of a political character. One of them delved into our own political history in order that he would know more about the cynic in American politics; another did the probable effect of the large and growing indulgence of bad foreign blood into our body politic; the third speaker gave additional reasons for restraining dangerous immigration; the fourth man discus-
A DIAMOND KING.
The Fortune Made by Mr. Barnato in the South African Mines.
B. I. Barnato, one of the wealthiest diamond miners in the world, is a candidate for Parliament from Kimberley, and is making a bitter personal fight for the office. At a recent public meeting, in denying some statements made against him by the opposing party, Mr. Bernato related the history of his career in the colony. It reads like a page from the "Arabian Nights." He said that he came to the colony in 1873, and in 1875 he bought the first claim in Kimberley, paying a good price for it. In 1881 he owned four claims, which he floated into a company for £25,000 a claim, making with the machinery, an aggregation of £115,000. That was his first attempt to put himself in a good financial position, and he succeeded. This was called the Barnato company. In 1884 he bought the Stewart ground, paying the highest price ever given in Kimberley. Yet with that speculation alone he made £20,000. After the company passed out of his control, although the claims stood at £35,000 each, the concern paid a dividend of 9 per cent within three months, and did so at the expiration of each following quarter, until the claims at the end of nine months represented a value of £33,000 each.
In the course of time the ground became covered with reef, and a heavy mining debt was saddled upon the corporation. Mr. Barnato loaned the money to aid the company, although, as he naively admitted, "Had I put the property up at auction I could have bought it at an enormous profit. Standard shares were at £17; Kimberley Centrals, with their claims, valued at £2,000 each, were at £25, and I am convinced that I could have bought in the Barnato block with great advantage to myself. But what did I do? I am agamalgated with the Standard Mining Company, and brought the shares that originally cost £50, after four years' work, up to £150."
This will give you an idea of how wealth can be amassed in the diamond fields. Now let me, in concluding, repeat Mr. Barnato's own words regarding his present fortune. In the same speech he said: "The exports of this colony are £9,000,000. Of this, Kimberley exports one-half. Now my opponents say that I am not a fit or proper person to represent you in Parliament; but let me tell you that I represent half the exports of this colony. The diamond industry of this colony is a government within a government; and if I am fit enough to sit on the board of the consolidated mines, as holding one-eighth of the mining interest in Girquialand West, along with such men as Hon. C. J. Rhodes and the representatives of the historic house of the Rothschild, surely I am quite good enough to represent this constituency of Kimberley and Beaconsfield."
You can estimate from Mr. Barnato's holdings what his income must be. It is only a question of time, and of the continuance of the diamond yield, when the South African diamond king will eclipse in wealth the Indian Maharajah and the railroad monarch of America—Cor. Jewelers' Weekly.
