CONCERNING THINGS KAN-
In another column will be found a somewhat lengthy report of the meeting of the Philological Club Friday evening. The amount of space given is, however, fully discussed for by the interest of the topics discussed
After the regular program, according to our reporter an informal discussion was held upon revival or rather perhaps upon the continuance of poetry. Naturally enough the drift trifled into Kansas poetry. The "Sunflowers" were spoken off—and that too without reference to the biding—and much hope was expressed for the future of poetry in Kansas. There was indeed in the tone of the discussion something which could have made even the hearts of Prentis, Wilder and all of the good old Kansas enthusiasts quicken with pride. We can almost hear some of them say "Kansas Poetry? Why yes, loads and loads of it. With wheat at a dollar a bushel and 1,800,000 people who could not write poetry." But nevertheless no one will be more surprised at the recognition of a possible Kansas poetry by the State University than these same original Kansas. For the University, with many thoughtful men all over the State, has paid, until recently, very little attention to the real estate rhymes which have thrilled taxpayers of the commonwealth. Some of them bound in book form were on our shelves but were unclassified and generally unread. About a year ago the librarian, with with the Herd Book and several volumes of Agricultural reports as a nucleus, established a Kansas shelf to which the works of Prentis, Ware, Steele, T. Brower, Peacook, Wilder, Mrs. Hudson, Mrs. Humphrey and others have been gathered. An effort is being made to put on this Kansas shelf every Kansas book of any importance and donations of such books are gratefully received. These books may
be valuable some day as the starting points of a future Kansas literature.
The piece of Eugene Ware's closing,
"We have made the State of Kansas to-day,
And to-day she stands completep;
First in freedom, first in whist.
Award will courts wgreat,
Ripened hopes and richer stanzas,
may be read by the student of Kansas poetry in ages to come, with a feeling akin to that the Kansas student of to-day experiences in pouring over the war scene of Renaissance."
The Kansas spirit finding that Mt Orend would not come to it has come like Mahomet to the mountain and the sentiment voiced by Prof. Robinson Friday evening when he said that Kansas generally returned to Kansas, was uttered by Senator Ingalls fifteen years ago in the old Kansas magazine. "Kansas exercises the same fascination over me that she does over all who have ever yielded to her spell. There are some women whom to have once loved render it impossible to love again. As the 'grey and meloncholy main' to the sailor, as the desert to the Bedouin, as the Alps to the mountaineer, so is Kansas to all her children. No one ever felt any enthusiasm about Wisconsin, Indiana or Michigan. The idea is preposterous. They are great prosperous communities but their inhabitants can remove and never desire to return. They hunger for horizon. They may have new homes without the malette du pays. But no genuine Kansan can emigrate. He may go elsewhere but no other State can ever claim him as a citizen. Once naturalized the allegiance can never be forsworn.
And if such is conceded to be a fact by inillegent men and women—if there really is a Kansas spirit, some one will in time receive its inspiration and a Kansas poetry will come forth.
POLITICAL SCIENCE CLUB.
The first meeting of the Political Science Club under the new scheme of evening session, was held last Friday evening in Prof. Canfield's lecture room. An unusually large number were present, which indicates that the work is gaining in influence and insures the future permanence and success of the club in its chosen field of investigation.
The program rendered water United States state . . . E. Martindale Finance and Industry . . . F.O. Schroeder Finance and Industry . . . J.A. Mushrush The -state a d the -tour . . . Manie Pugh The Control of Immigration . . . W.A. White The work of the closing hours of the first session of the Fifthth Congress was reported on behalf of the Senate by Mr. Martindale, and on behalf of the House by Mr. Schroeder. The present session has been the longest continuous one on record and, as is usual previous to adjournment of Congress other topics will be substituted for the work itither devoted to the Senate and House. J.A. Mushrush reviewered the changes in the general financial and industrial aspect of the country for the past two weeks. This report embodied all labor trouble, strikes, changes in the markets, condition of trade, rates of interest, etc., that affect the business world.
Miss Pugh reviewed an article in a recent issue of the Political Science Quarterly on the relation of the "State to the Poor." The writer maintained that all the laws that have been enacted for the benefit of the poor have resulted in ultimate failures and though they seemingly are fit subjects for philanthropic legislation, no satisfaction benefit to the society would be derived.
The "Control of Immigration" was the subject of another review by Mr. White, protraying the evils arising from the continuance of an indiscriminate immigration policy, the proportion of the native to foreign born citizens in this country was given and recommended restrictive legislation thereon.
We promise you that future meetings of the club will be made as interesting as possible and though you cannot become members, visitors will always be made welcome. The time of meeting has been changed to 8 o'clock.
T hus lack of a thorough knowledge of parliamentary law is very noticeable in all the meetings of students. In the literary societies is the place to get your practice. Therefore, for that purpose, if for no other, join either Orophillan or Athaeneum.

A DROP OF INK.

A drop of ink—how much it holds
Upon my pen-pet n新然 wet; my
A brilliant man; my petals
For perhaps, if I could only get
It rightly spread upon the sheet
Of paper r, spotless, free from stain,
Alas! I gaze out in the street
And chew my penholder in vain.
Maybe within that ink drop
A poem its designed for me;
my muse its usest top.
Because you see, my muse are lame,
An epigram it may contain
Repote with wisdom when with wit
I'm sure aside all doubt and fear.
Maybe my Fat will help me then.
All men of genius, i suppose,
Dash down their burning thoughts re hiat.
I'll do the same myself—here goes!
By Jove! I've only made a blot!

Why don't we ever have any theatricals in K. S. U? Harvard has her Greek plays and other eastern colleges do something of this sort. Michigan University has just established a chair to be devoted to the subject of play-writing. We surely have talent enough here if it only could be utilized. If a play were gotten up and properly managed, it would be very interesting end of a great deal of benefit.
Dramatic work in connection with the literary societies would be found extremely interesting and would do a great deal toward keeping up the society interest. If it was too much of an undertaking for one society to give a whole play once during the school year, one act or scene from some standard work, well acted would be a great addition to the cut and dried program of the regular literary society. This feature of giving a play once during the year and scenes from plays at some of the meetings was adopted last year by the German society, and from all reports proved very successful. Unity Club has carried out such a program also, and if Orophilian and Athenaeum should adopt this feature it would be looked back upon as one of the most pleasant feature of the society life. As Athletics will not occupy us during
As Athletics will not occupy us during the winter months, why not direct some of our surplus energy to this kind of work. We could rely on the faculty in selecting good works and in getting them up, and a good play well given could be made the event of the winter. Is not this worth thinking of?

The tennis season has nearly gone. The rackets will soon be laid away and that ravishing tennis suit in which some fair maid has sauntered down the street, only to drive the arrow deeper into the heart of guileless youth, will be seen no more, alas, until the gentle zephyrs blow again. The calves in the lot next to Luther's will now roam undisturbed and commence to fatten. In the park all will soon be quiet. The autumn leaves driven by the chill November blast, will scurry across the tennis ground, unobstructed by the Whit (e) man's tread on the two feet of verdant Snow. The gracefull Reed, nipped by the cold blast, will no more pipe his reedy lay of "Love all Game, and Deuce." The gushing Brooks will then be frozen o'er and the Shell (a) bar(g) kers delicate tones will then be heard no more. The playful canter of the Fox and the lofted tle of the De-Beta Bear will linger long on the frozen air but at last all will be silent there. And the whispering leaves will breath fourth a song and this is what they will say, Alack-a-day! Alack-a-day! We hope that spring is far away.
The Faculty have made a long step in the right direction in throwing open the University to the students, on Friday evening, and the first two evenings have fully demonstrated the wisdom of the act. The next step which they should take is to keep the library open longer Saturday. As it is, the opening of the library on Saturday is of practically no benefit. It is open such a short time that few students come up at all on Saturday. Opening the library all day Saturday would be of especial advantage to those students who are doing special work, or to those who are writing theses in which they have to do considerable reading. As it is they have to take the time during the week, and always at the expense of some other study. It may be said that this would be imposing too much extra duty in the library. If the librarian had to be there all of that time, it might be true, but it is not necessary. Some of the upper classmen who are acquainted with the library could be found who would be willing to take charge of the library on Saturday, and relieve the librarian of any extra trouble. We hope the Faculty may see it advisable to inaugurate this plan.
Now that the base ball season is over, K. S. U. students should turn their attention to something to take its place. Many substitutes might be mentioned, but probably the most practical is foot ball. It is understood that several of our neighboring colleges have foot ball teams and if K. S. U. would organize a team, we might have some exciting contests before the winter is over. Each of the classes might get up teams and have some inter-class games. Or, each of the fraternities might have a fraternity team, and play inter-fraternity games. Any arrangement or any game that might be suggested would be preferable to the usual languor in regard to out door sports. Let some one set the movement on foot, and see if we cannot organize several good teams in the next month. K. S. U. has plenty of material and it only remains with her students, whether
we shall be able to organize a foot ball team, with which we shall beat our rival college in this as we do in all of our other contests.
Reform Tariff Club vs. Republican Club.
Last Wednesday evening at the court house the two clubs held a joint debate on the question "Resolved, That the Protective Tariff is a benefit to the wageworker." The affirmative was led by C E Street, who proceeded to show by statistics the financial condition of the United States compared with that of England in 1970 and 1880. He then compared the wages paid in the two countries and after a twenty-five minute discussion of facts and figures closed with a comparison of living and wages in Austria with living and wages in the United States. Mr. Street was followed by H F M. Bear on the negative side of the question. Mr. Bear said that the wages paid the laborer depended upon supply and demand, that protective tariff helps the manufacturer, but the factories employ foreign labor at 60 cents per day. "England pays 45 per cent more for labor than protected Germany, and 65 per cent more than protected France, while higher protected Mexico and higher protected Russia pay lower wages than either of the other countries, and China, a country that has had Protective Tariff for 200 years pays 20c per day for common workmen and 40c per day for skilled labor." Mr. Baer enlarged upon the increase of wages in the United States from 1850 to 1860, read statistics of wages paid in several occupations showed that wages in the same industries differed in the different parts of the United States. Mr. Baer received applause from the old and young, men and women, in the audience. J. M. Wade said the price of wages in the United States in 1880 was $1.00 per day while in free trade Norway it was 7 cents. He said that his opponent's statement that we had free labor was no argument against Protective Tariff, but according to this statement we ought also to have protection on imported labor. He said that protection gives varieties of employments, making better opportunities for men to become skilled workmen.
H. E. Copper continued comparison between United States and China. Made mention of the panic in the United States in 1873, and closed with statistical statements on immigration to the United States. Mr. Wayde in a closing speech of ten minutes referred his opponent to Free Trade Ethiopia, re-discussed the immigration question and compared the imports and exports of the United States during the fifteen years prior to 1861 and the fifteen years following 1873. The meeting adjourned to meet one week from Saturday of this week.
The average American liver, says an authority, is always more or less out of order, which is hard on the American liver. One might ask the same authority how it is with the average American who is not a liver, and then the data is scarcely obtainable.
