dan. Every one ascribes this demand
for. Howard's resignation to Mrs. Stan
ford and deplores it, for, carried out to
ita logical end, it kills free speech at
Stanford. . -Prof. Howard has made a
reputation - as a singularly clear lec
turer, and he is .widely-known by his
"Local and Constitutional History of
tbe United States."
Tbe Chicago Record, which has
never been accused of entertaining re
form Ideas or of being a socialist or
anarchist, comments on the situation
in tbe Stanford university after the
following manner:
When Dr. Edward A. Ross of Stan
ford university criticised the manage
ment of a San Francisco corporation
as an Instance of economic wrongs be
was acting well within his rights of
free speech the rights essential to
tbe maintenance of universities. The
chief benefactor of tbe university, who
has heavy Interests in the corporation
in question, struck a blow at this priv
ilege In insisting upon Dr. Ross's dis
missal. When Dr. George K. Howard, how
ever, another prominent member of
tbe faculty, took occasion to criticise
this encroachment upon free speech,
while himself rtill retaining his chair,
he was taking a position which will bo,
challenged as neither dignified nor
consistent. Dr. Howard has made It
possible for his opponents to allege
that it is one thing for a college pro
fessor to insist upon declaring the
truth as be sees it. and that it is quite
another thing for him to attack bis
own college upon the policy of its
management, thus injuring its contin
ued Influence end usefulness.
However true it may be tbat a mem
ber of a university faculty cannot In
reason be permitted to attack his own
university while still remaining in it,
the fact remains that the original re-
Fponsibility for the whole trouble rests
with the wealthy patron, who seems
to believe that the donation of mil
lions to a university carries the right
to dictate what that university shall

Some very sharp criticism was made

CAPETOWN IN DANGER
lUatest ?twi From South Africa U of the
Most Startling Character The
Boers Still Advancing.
The news from South Africa con
tinues to be of the most startling char
actcr. That that .was received up to
the hour of going to press confirms all
the worst fears of the English gov
ernment. A cablegram under a Lon
don date of the 16th says:
The casualty list shows that there
has been seven engagements, with a
loss of six killed, seventeen wounded
and five missing, at Murraysburg,
where the Dutch are said to have been
joining the invaders. Murraysburg is
sixteen miles west of Gfaaf Relnet. In
dications are pot wanting that the de
cision of th government to send rein
forcement has not been taken a mo
ment tco soon. Colonel Colville's mo
bil "column, which has been pursuing
t'ne Boers, has been obliged to rest ft
Greylinestadt to erect a blockhouse
and to cease operations until rein
forcements arrive.
General Paget has taken his force
to Pretoria to refit. Many of the m.i
are suffering from enteric fever.
Three hundred Boers captured a
small convoy at Bronkhurst spruit
near Pretoria, but made off after lib
erating the prisoners. '
General Brabant, while addressing
a conference of mayors at Capetown,
said the authorities were anxious to
keep the war away from Capetown, if
possible, but tbat the only hope of do
ing this lay in sending 10,000 men to
the front. He urged that no precau
tion should be omitted to prevent tbe
enemy from advancing further south.
The Poultry Show
The most successful meeting in the
history of the state poultry associa
tion is being held this week in Lincoln.
The auditorium, the scene of political
meetings, and balls of state, has been
transformed into a gigantic chicken
house, where 1,500 birds and forty Bel
gian hares are on exhibition.
FTom .l o'clock until evening ever
day there is a . cock crowing contest.
Eight fellows are placed in coops, side
by side,' on the stage, and given five
minutes in which to express them
selves. The vim and energy with
which they enter into the competition
is surprising and side-splitting.

The Populist State Committee and Many
Workers From the Various Coun
ties la Lincoln.
The populist state committee to
gether with a large number of earnest1
reformers from various parts of the
state held a conference at the Grand
hotel yesterday and last night. It has
not yet adjourned. The afternoon was
spent in a general review of the last
campaign. From every part of the
state came the same story of the im
portation from other states of voters
and the very large amount of money
used hv the republican party tor cor
rupt purposes in carrying the elec
tion There can be no reasonable
doubt that from 15,000 to 20,000 voir
ers were brought into this state and
their votes cast for McKiniey.
ThP following resolutions were
nassed:
"The state committee of the people's
fndenendent party of the state of Ne
braska does hereby congratulate the
reform forces over the magnificent
fight made by them during the last
campaign. And we do hereby reaffirm
our allegiance and express iuture ad
herence to the principles promulgated
by the people's party at ,Sioux Fans,
May 9, 1900, but our committee look
with suspicion upon the large in
creased vote polled by the republican
ticket at the recent election, and we
deplore the reprehensible methods
proved by indisputable evidence em
ployed in colonizing ana corrupting
voters by purchase and by furnishing
transportation to persons who were
not citizens nor legal voters, bringing
them into the state and transporting
legal voters from the state.
"And we further deplore the fact
that the fair name of the state of. Ne
braska should be stained ana uisgracca
by the use of the large sums of mon
ey, as was reported by L..D. Richards,
treasurer of the state committee of the
republican party, amounting to nearly
$60,000 in this election. And it is alto
gether probable that this amount only'
represents a small portion of the funds
spent by that party.
"Our committee point with pride to
the splendid record made by the sev
eral state officers elected , by the fu
sion forces, and we especially call at
tention to the large amount of money
turned into the school fund of our
state and disbursed to its many schoo'
districts. - And that all monies coming
into the hands of the state treasurer
and other officers, has been promptly
and properly accounted for, thereby
raising the price of state warrants
from 6 per cent discount to 1 per cent
premium, notwithstanding the fact
that the Interest on them has been re
duced from 7 per cent to 4.
"We congratulate the people of Ne
State Agriculturists
The state board of agriculture held
its annual meeting in Lincoln during
the first of the week.
The following officers were elected:
President, E. L. Vance, Pawnee City;
first vice president, J. R. Cantlin,
Webster, Dodge county; second vice
president. W. E. Ewing, Franklin,
Franklin countv: treasurer. E. Mc-
ntyre, Seward; .secretary, Robert vv.
Furnas. $rownvnie. rne latter two
erentlemen were re-elected.
After considerable discussion tne
board voted to . heartily indorse tbe
bill now before the legislature which
provides for an appropriation for the
state fair. All" other matters relating
o legislation affecting the interests of
the board was. referred to the board of
managers. I
A resolution was adopted urging the
legislature to pass the bill protecting
the butter interests cf the state.
":A resolution was adopted favoring
an agricultural exhibit at the Pan
American exposition commensurate
with the Interests of the state.
A resolution opposing the passage
of the bill now before congress pro
vlding for the distribution of seed?
by congressmen was passed. This
measure was characterized as a use
less waste and a benefit to no one, and
it was thought that the representatives
at Washington should be requested to
vote against it. .
Martial Law
The heavy hand of the military stil
lies upon the state of Idaho and mar
tial law is still in force there. How
ever, as soon as the new governor took
his seat he washed his hands of the
whole matter, -countermanding all the
orders that Governor Stuenberg had
Issued, having a tendency to estab
lish imperialism in that state. Among
the most important orders issued by
Governor Hunt as soon as he was in
ugurated was the following:
"It is hereby ordered that the order
of the governor of the state of Idaho
dated May 8, 1899, and by which per
sons desiring to secure employment
m any of the mines of Shoshone coun
ty, Idaho, were required to secure a
permit from the representative of the
state, Is hereby revoked.
"You will not Issue any more of said
permits or require persons seeking em
ployment In said Shoshone county to
secure the same.
"The services of George T. Edmiston
as state deputy will be dispensed with,
and you are hereby directed to notify
him of the same. No deputies in the
future will be employed at the expense
of the state until you report the nec
essity of. the employment. This order
takes Immediate effect."
RACE: OF A PARIS GENDARME.
Pierre Delolre Learns an Odd Custom
of Aaaerloan Horsemen.
The growing custom among Ameri
can horsemen of riding bareheaded Is
not generally known 'among Europeans
and In some cases has caused rather
amusing misunderstandings. A recent
arrival from Paris relates the follow-
ng , experience of a French mounted
policeman: One evening Pierre De-
oire, mounted gendarme, was riding
slowly in the Bois de Boulogne, be
moaning the unkind fate which gave
him no opportunity for showing his
skill and bravery. "Why couldn't I
have been among those sent to disperse
the rioters In the Rue Chabrol?" he
thought.' "And the week before, why
couldn't that horse have waited until
was on duty . before running away
with the rich American lady? Why"
But here his thoughts were suddenly
nterrupted by a quick clattering of
hoofs behind him. He drew rein, and
as he turned his head a horse' with a
hatless rider dashed by him like a
flash. "A chance at last!" thought
ierre as he drove his spurs savagely
nto the little mare's sides and started
n mad pursuit up the Bois. "Run
away! runaway! runaway!" sound
ed the fugitive's hoofs upon the road.
After you! after you! rafter you!"
pattered the little French mare as she
gradually lessened the distance be
tween them. On they tore. Once, un
der an arc light, the man ahead turned
halfway in his saddle and looked back
over his shoulder for an instant. The
vision of that set face made Pierre
renew his efforts, and the little French
mare responded nobly. "After you,
after you, after you!" she pattered, and
soon only a length separated the two.
Three hundred yards more and they
would be on even terms. Now on the
right, some two hundred paces up the
road, the lights of the Cafe Madrid
came into view. "Sapristi, the cafe!"
shouted . Pierre, hoping that the hat-
less rider might still have enough con
trol to guide his horse from the tables
and windows that meant his certain
destruction. "Yes, the cafe!" an
swered back the other in a voice that
evidently showed he realized his dan
ger. But the mad horse seemed at
tracted by the lights and did not
change his course. Pierre was des
perate. Now the little mare was even
with the other's saddle girths.but there
n. . I- A . ' 1 1 CI 1
musw lauies omy any yanuo
away. Now they were neck and neck.
Both horses, with nostrils dilated and
blood-shot eyes, were straining every
muscle. As they went tearing through
the gateway the little mare forged her
nose slightly to the fore, and Pierre
was just reaching over to grasp the
rein, when, as if by magic, the run
away stopped. "You have won,
m'sieur," drawled Its rider with a
slight American accent. "What will
you have to drink?" But Pierre De
loire had already turned his horse to
ward the Bois, and was once more
cursing at unkind fate in general with
a special clause added pertaining to
Americans.

The Pope's Poem
The Streets of Washington.
R. A. Danvers, who is engaged in the
real estate business in Washington, D.
C, when seen at the Fifth Avenue ho
tel said: "It doesn't seem to be gen
erally known, but, like Paris, Washing
ton is laid out on military lines, and
cannon planted at certain points would
command a number of approaches.
Take, for instance, the White House.
Through its center the following
thoroughfares pass: Vermont, Con
necticut, New York and Pennsylvania
avenues, and Sixteenth and G streets.
The center of the capitol Is the same,
as is also the center of almost every
square or circle in the city. While the
naming of the streets is simple and
easy to follow to residents, to the
stranger it is most confusing, owing
to the way in which the avenues cut
diagonally across the numbered and
lettered streets, and these streets calm
ly move a half block away before again
taking up their line of march. If a
stranger, say, was going up Fifteenth
street, when he got to K., although the
street swings there slightly to the
right and proceeds on a different angle,
he would undoubtedly continue along
It with serene confidence that he was
still in Fifteenth street, whereas he in
reality would be In Vermont avenue,
while the real Fifteenth street is half
a block northward. That's as plain
as I can make it and about the only
thing it really seems to explain is how
very confusing our streets really are."
New York Tribune.
The Pope greeted the new century
with a poem. It was written in Latin
and was cabled In that language to
New York -wt ere it was turned into
English prose. The following is "an
extract from it.
Woe to the laws which have nothing
divine!
Where is the awe of honesty now?
What faith remains on earth?
Only divorced from religion the rights
of man crumble and fall in ruin.
Do you hear ; the horde of mad phil
osophers, conscious of what
they are doing,
Extol what is impious and strive to
proclaim brute nature as the
supreme divinity?
And false to the promptings of nature
loathe the divine origin of tbe
race as a thing inconceivable,
and, .
Catching at empty shadows instead.
it lowers the human race to t.e
level of the brute.
Alas! Into what an abyss.of honor has
their blind and helpless pride
been plunged!
Keep, oh mortals, for all time the
dread commands of God.
He alone is life and Ho the unwailing
truth;
He alone the way that leads to heaven.
He alone avails to turn the fleeting
years for mortal good.
Lately He Himself led to the sacred
tomb of Peter the throngs of tbe
' faithful who sought the holy
places not in vain,
Piety thus showing itself anew and
with hopeful augury of the fu
ture. Oh, Jesus, arbiter of the coming age,
now arising in its course,
Look down, and by Thy divine power
force the rebellious nations to
follow better things.
Scatter tbe seeds of benignest peace
and let the. wrath of tumult and
horrid war now cease,
And drive to realms of darkness what
deceives the minds -of men. -Let
Thy spirit alone direct; let Thy
rule alone control,
That the nations may hasten to obey
Thy laws. I
May there be one shepherd and one
shrepfold and one faith In ever,-
mind! .
I have finished my course;
Twice nine lustra have I lived,
My life Thy gift, do Thou now add the
crown.
Grant, I beseech Thee, that the prayer
of Thy Leo be not in vain.

of how a protective tariff may work
great harm and suggests that the
prospective grain duties may operate
in a similar manner."

Chinese Orator
Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese min
ister, is becoming the most popular
orator In the country, and receives
quite as, many invitations to deliver
public , , addresses and after-dinner
speeches as Mr, Depew. His diplo
matic duties permit him to accept but
few of them. He is going to St. Louis,
Chicago and Indianapolis during the
next month, but has been compelled
to decline all other engagements. If
he ? accepted every invitation he re
ceives he would be on the lecture plat
form or at some public banquet every
night. Mr. Wu is a very pleasing
speaker. He has a droll way of telling
truths that takes with an ' audience.
His speeches have done much to
change the opinion prevailing among
the American public about his own
people. There is no man in the diplo
matic corps who is more highly re
spected or who enjoys a greater degree
of confidence from the government, his
colleagues and the public . generally
than the Chinese minister.
Bicycles In War.
The present campaign in South Af
rica is practically the first opportunity
the military authorities have had of
putting the cycle corps to a real test.
As scouts and. skirmishers they have
proved most useful. The cyclist corps
attached to the Durban Light infantry
recently covered a route of ninety
miles in one day for the purpose of
obtaining information of the Boer
forces, doing no small amount of fight
ing on the way. The rapidity of their
movement startles the enemy, who
ought to be unable to cope with the
tactics a cycle corps adopts. They seem
able to get away with most anything,
however.
Protected Distress
"Protection" is working very great
hardships upon the German working
people. A cablegram from Bremen
says: "
"Great bitterness has been caused in
certain circles by the fact that the re
cent advance in the price of American
bacon and lard makes importation no
longer profitable. Thus the poor are
deprived of the opportunity to buy tbe
