A Problem to Solve..
1 When eejwiking of Nebraska, tlie
flrt tiling that the farmer, proudly
boasts of U the state, 11 ul vitnI ty. Km
pcclally is this true of the wild ami
woolly pop. It Ik thu one purely pop
ullslic fiislitution of the whole" state
Mm foundations were hi id in tin early
history or tin state when (lid inllu
ence of Miuwifln hud not died out of tbe
republican party, when the members
of that party were proud to proclaim
tiKsir neiier mat ail men were created
equal and tliat governments, derived
ull their just power from t lie consent
of (he governed, J 11 those- halcyon
days, when we went about the streets
declaring that 4 he United fclafcs wan
.(lie greatest, and grandest nation on
the face of 1 lie earfh, f hat "1,'nele Ham
Kwnwrleli enough to give us all a farm"
and that this laud was the only lam
of the free and home of fhe brave-
In those day fhe plan of the great
university wan formed and "the be If,
enacted" duly attached, Thu young
"nieii and young women now flock to If,
by fhe thousands to prepare them
selves for the. duties of life. Nebras
ka leiidw ull the htnl en In intelligence,
Her pralrfeN are covered with all the
races of pauperized Euro', but we ed
ueafe iheui and make good citizen
out of tlieiu. We Instil into I hem a
deejier love of liberty. We unite them
into a wwniKwIte raee that leads all the
states in average intelligence, In brav
ery 011 the battle field and in flu? o'-eu-iMttlon
of MMKe. To the university
i4ongs the crowning glory of (lie
work ihat Is the pride of the age,
That fhe new university reaches all
soi ls and condition of man is evident
from the tabulation of the oeeupution
of the parent. As would be expected
in, a (rreat agricultural state, I he farm
ers lead, sending the large representa
tion of (fir) students. Idilsning iople
of ail sort ore well represented, There
is a notable increase as compared wlfh
the last ble-nnJuni in the attendance of
the children of the professional men,
ministers, physicians, lawyers, teach
ers and engineers, showing that these
critical classes have now such confi
dence In the university that they nre
not patronizing other institutions.
The general resnt by the cAaneel
lor, fortified by the epeiidcd spec! tie
rejsirts, give only a alight conception
of the many-sideness, leimirkuhle
growth and consequently urgent de
111a nds of the university for pecuniary
supisirl. 'The unanticipated increase
during the past blenniuui In the mil
' verslty has made it difficult for the ic.
genfs to maintain without a deficit,
ily the utmost economy and almost im
Hwitlon iiK)ii their employes have
they barely succeeded in doing so,
with the exception of a slight deficit
In the fuel, gne, water ami light ac
count. Add to the accumulated needs
that the economies practiced have been
the most eo-nservative estimates as to
the normal Increase in the university
for the coming' blcnniiim and it will be
evident that a considerably larger sum
than the university has had will be ne.
eessary for lt inninteneiM'e, apart
from its fxsinslon. The regents have
made the budget after repeated delih
erations as small as thev could oil the
side of expenditures without threat
ening actual retrogression In their
caution it is a question if t'hey 4-1111 h
Just., saying nothing of being generous,
in meetng the demands that -J he fin
rents and youth of Nebraska w"ll make
upon them. The estimated resources
are:

sity will receive from the United totates
government for the next two years
$25,000 annually, knowm as the "Mor
rill Fund" (act of congress, 1890), lim
ited to the special uses by the act of
congress; also $15,000 annually for the
United States agricultural experiment
station, limited by act of congress to
original research and experiments up
on subject connected with agricul
ture. Also there will be collected from
students of the university for various
university purposes sums estimated,
per uniium, ns follows: Mntriculwtlon
and diploma fees, $4,000; law college
tuitions, $4,500; laboratory cash depos
its, $4,000; also, farm cash reeeipti,
Hiinualiy, estimated at $!)00.
These will be asked to be formally
appropriated by seHirate bill or bills
to the specific cases.
lit addition to the alwive, the follow
ing appropriations from the state gen
eral fund for buildings mid permanent
Improvements have to lie asked:
Tor a farm school and experiment
station building and for healing, light
ing, power and water supply pliwit and

Kor a university-soldiers' nieniorftil

form scales and paving atwmt fhe
same, and scale house, $20,000,
To meet the ubove cxpeiidll ores the
bond proposes the creation of a build
ing and permanent Improvement fund
for 1 he university by the levy f a Ian
tit ft If) of a mill upon the grand assess
ment roll of 1 lie stale for 11 period of
five years with the proviso that not
more than $,'0,00O be expended In a
single year. If this plan prevails, the
'bills for buildings will be so amended
as to wit Intro w the appropriation from
the general fund and charge It against
tlie proceeds of (he special levy,
The regents feel tliat It Is their duty
frankly to call the attention of Mm;
legislature to the fact that tae iinlvei
sity has outgrown its income and that
the time has arrived for the legislature
to make sonic sensible provision for
the adequate support of the instiln
1I1111, A glance at the diagrams
(pages .Will) vill show that tin;
growth of the university Is entirely
oal of proportion lo I be growth of tlie
Income. Two thousand students enn
uot safety be Instructed for the same
sum as one thousand. The many de
mands made by reason of the age and
feme of un institution of first rank
en 11 not, be met .without augumcNfcil
funds. As to how the Income of the
university sliull lie increased, is for the
legislature In its wisdom lo say. To
cut down tlie expenses of
I he university farHicr, at (his
critical, period of its growth,
would reduce its rank, prob
ably for all time, would deny its privil
eges to the boys ami girls of Nebraska
prepared to avail themselves of them,
and doiiibfelss would meet with gener
al disfavor among the K-ople of tlie
stale. The university cannot be
blamed for its growth. It has raised
its standards of admission and schol
arship and is proHsing to raise them
still higher. Furi Iter relief cannot be
sought in this direction and have the
university kept In connection with the
schools, Neither can the university is
lilamed for tlie Tailing olT of Its In
come by tlie reduction of the grand as
sessment roll when naturally It might
have been expected to Increuse. I he
natural remedy would Is the proper
assessment of llie slate. This again
is a matter Im voikI the province of the
regents. The only courses (hat seem
to be oih'ii at the present time are the
appropriation in lump sums from the
tale's general fund to supplement tlie
income from the university fund, or
the increasing of the rate of the uni
versity levy, or the laying of a spe
cial levy.
There are t noo voters Isdng educat
ed lu this university and another thou
sand who will Is voters when the con
stitution is changed. I't the yell still
Is- heard on every hilltop and every

SJrd's conduct that day was heroic, bis
Icath most trugia, When thu btigudo

meat, "You can take ir, in SO minutes."
Major t'orsu of thn First cavalry, wiu
went forward with his battalion after
tha capture of "Kettle" hill, was also
killed
The Infantry reformed lines at the
blockhouse and took position to resist a
counter at tuck, which a littlu later was
threatened from thu Spaniards in front.
The block hnuNij was a brick buildiug,
loofihoJed. with trenches 011 each flunk
and in front, West of it, toward Hanti
atfo, thu ground falls into a deep depres
sion 8lx hundred yards westward, 011
both sides of the main road to tiuntiugo,
the Kpuuiidi had strong works. On the
Anno lean right and left of this depres
sion the heights sre abrupt, and pos
session of (have was essential to the
holding of the blockhouse as well as of
"Kettle" bill, been u ho the heights ou
the American right of tho blockhouse
itself are higher than "Kettle" bill.
As Kion as the cavalry took pommsslnn
of "Kettle" bill, us already described,
many of the soldiuis bad rushed for
ward to the west crest and opened with
their carbiuei upon the Hpaniarda
arouud tlie heights in front. Majors
and captains got their battalions and
troops together and with a cheer charged
forward. Two troop of the Third cav
alry, led by Major Wessels, Captains
Mm ton, Hunter and Morguu, dasbed
straight for the building known as tbe
San Juan House. The Ninth and Tenth
cavalry, with part of tbe rough riders,
seemed to strike for the bouse, but
owing to obstructions the line became
mixed. Un tbu charge (here wete some

also weakened by tho dofectiou of some
hundreds of voluuteers, had been
strengthened early iu the day by tho
Twenty-first Infantry from Pearson's
Second brigade. This regiment bad been
detached by (Jeuernl Kent to assimt
Hawkins, but owing to the crowded
road bad not got into position in time to
ehargo with thu Sixth aud Sixteenth.
However, it lost uuder the fire at tho
crock uud alno in ascending the hill
close upon (he heels of the other regi
ments. Menuwhilo what of the crest south
west of tho blockhotiHO, tho region
which maims to bavo been most easy for
attack by thu Spaniards? Kent's Second
brigadu, under 1'earsoii, nsbuf ore stated,
bud orders to rest its left upon a green
knoll 011 tho same rblgo with a block
hound 000 yards south, With that Pear
son's orders stopped. When this bri
gade, consisting of thu Kenond aud
j Tenth, crossed tlie creek, the (ire hud
, somewhat abated. .Still thu biitf.ln was
j roaring on thu right and men werodrnp
1 ping all around. WikolT was lying dead
in the bud of the stream. Jn order to
advance It was necessary to break the
line into columns of fours, The water
was two to three feet deep aud tho
bunks lined with thick brush, Entering
tho Held, tho column was struck by a
bouvy fire, but it swept on, passing Ha 11
Juiiii blockhouse oil tbu left of Wikoif's
and Hawkins' troops, driving thu Hpuu
birds from bill to hill to their trenches
over t,hn crest. Taking position on the
crest at a dlstuucii varying form 400 to
1,000 yurds from thu advanced Hpanlsh
trenches and batteries, the brigade held
out iigaiiiHt 11 t(irrihh) lire, Tho men lay
down tinder the shelter of the crest end
fired steadily, not having time to in
trench 1 The experience of Pearson is an ex
ample of the complications tliat may
impel a stilsirdinato to anticipate his
chief, After tho brigadu had established
itself ou tbe front lino, to the left of
the captured blockhouse, one of Kent's
aid came up with an order to Pearson
to inuke thu very move ho bud already
curried out, During the day Kent bud
modified bis original orders to Pearson.
If is of course impossible to depict
the condition of the troops in tho line
when night closed in, Words fall to ex
press it, Tho bout was awful j tbe mou
were soaked through and through; they
bud bud no food since morning and no
prepared meal then and had none that
night, excepting lu a few casus where
packs were brought up from Iho bud of
(ho creek 011 the shoulders of already
woruout soldiers. The ground was very
hard, being com posed in some pluees of
calcareous rook, There was no grum-

bling, no depression of spirits, only de
termination to hold on, and a wish for
support, although, while they did not
know it, there was none to give thetn.
All the infantry and cavalry were on
tbe front Hue and tho only help to be
looked for was the coming of Lawton
down the El Cuney road lo threaten tbe
Hpauiards on tbe unprotected side 0
Santiago,
Lawton moved up, It's true, but not
nntil after midnight and (hen unseen by
tbe Spaniards, uutil be reached their
pickets, about 000 yards from tbe right
of the cavalry line ou the crest, as be
fore stutcd. There he halted, and seut
beak to Hhnfter for renewal of orders.
Calls (or support for the troops in
trenched ou tho Han Juan ridge bud, of
course, reached Shutter at various times
duriug the afternoon and evening1 of the
1st, and be told Lawton that as things
stood the quickest way to get iu position
in aid of Wheeler's Hue was to counter
muri'b to the crossroads southwest of K
Cuney and come Iwck to F.I Posu, thenee
