"There is honor oven among thieves,"
but some have yet to learn this elementary
principle in the semi. barbaric code. One
of the llrst elements of a civilized man is
to be able to uckuowlegc an honorable
defeat as well as to survive a victory
Men as well as nations have been wrecked
in both ways. But the man who can
not show a sprinkling of the first clement
presupposes poverty of the last. "Verily

Most of their inventions have to do with
household rpplianccp. Most of their in.
Tcntions are inferior to those patented in
1879; this is accounted for by the increase
of ten above the average number, which
is sixty. "Among the past year are a jar.
lifter, a bag holder, a pillow sham holder,
a dress protector, two dust pans, a wash
ing machine, a fluting Iron, u dress churl,
a fish boner, a sleeve adjuster, a lap table

(J. 8. Senator from Nebraska is an import
ant event in political circles. Gen. Van
Wyck is well known not only in our own
state, but the most flattering notices have
been given him by the press of other
states. Considerable interest attended the
choice of Senator at this time. At pres.
cnt there rro two forces at work in the
politics of Nebraska, Eastern capitalists
and corporations and the people them
selves. The impqrtuncc of tho senatorial
contest therefore lies in this fact. The
practical question to be decided was,
-filial 1 men who are not citizens of Neb
raska, but wlp have largo monied inter,
csts here, or shall tho people themselves
nay who shall bo senator from Nebraska.
Much feeling was exhibited by tho stu.
dents during tho contest as to its outcome.
The Student but expresses tho general
sentiment of tho students when it says
it considers tho election of Gen. Van
Wyck a complete victory for the people,

not of mm section but for the whole slate,

He is what the world calls a level headed

the colleges of our country the best stu
dents arc the boys from the farm. In the
workshops, behind the counter, in the
halls of legislation, at the bar, in tho fo

redths of tho men who stand upon tho

They were barefooted, wore patched

Most ouc.half of the people of this conn

boys in the race of life? Fooling, curl.
ing their hair and polishing their boots,
while the rough country boy is plunging
bare.footed along tho road to fame. With
book under one arm and a few extra
clolhcB in his hand, he passes tho elegant
homo of the town boy and looks in on
ease and luxury, almost for the first time.
He may be called a tramp and refused a
crust; one day ho will return and buy
that mortgage-covered houso, and become
the honored citizen of that town. Where
did that boy get his noble purpose and
his unfaltering courage ? They were born
to him on the farm; they were woven in
to his fibre by early years of toll ; the
warp and woof of his life are threads of
gold. Prof. S. A. Knaw.
