EN'TEEED AT THE LINCOLN TOSIOmCI Al
SECOND-CLASS MATTER.
rUIILISHED EVERY BATUKDAY BY
of young Adam McMullen a year ago,
Mrs. Manning espoused tho causo of
McMullen, much to the displeasure of
the chancellor, who was very bitter
against tho unfortunate student, and it
is not difficult to trace a connection be
tween the events of a year ago and the
late action of tho chancellor in recom
mending a reduction of salary.
I FOK BRYAN ;
FOR FREE SILVER.
ONE PHASE Exception is taken to
OF 6ome of the closing
CANF1ELDISM acts of Chancellor
Can field. The chancellor conceived a
dislike for Miss Smith, the registrar,
and in the opinion of many of the
alumni carried this dislike too far. It
is 6aid that Miss Smith possesses some
of the positive qualities that so con
spicuously mark Mr. Canfield, and her
lack of pliability is doubtless tho only
reason Canfield had for his opposition.
Miss Smith has many friends, and the
chancellor was requested to take no
action in her case inasmuch as he was
soon to leave. But ho was determined,
and went so far as to recommend her
removal shortly before his departure.
This apparently uncalled for asperity is
resented by those who like to see
justice done, and it is altogether prob
able that Miss Smith's interests will be
protected. It will also be remembered
that the salary of Mrs. Manning, the
instructor in elocution, was, on the
recommendation of the chancellor,
materially reduced at the last meeting
of the board of regents. Mrs. Manning
has rendered able service, and there has
been no objection to her work. But it
is not forgotten that in the persecution
STILL. DISCUSSING If there is any one
THE subject the peo-
SOCIALEVIL pie of Lincoln are
weary of it is that discussed at the min
isters meeting Monday morning. It
isn't a pleasant topic, and experience in
Lincoln has shown that very little is to
bo gained by the constant agitation.
Some of the ministers were guilty of
certain indiscretions of speech at Mon
day's meeting that were not calculated
to add to the ministerial dignity which
is essential to the welfare of the church.
Mr. Chapin may not like Mr. Graham
and he may have very strong views on
the subject of the social evil; but he
was certainly not justified in saying
that the present mayor was elected by
the bums and thugs of the city. Mr.
Graham was elacted by a large and rep
resentative body of men who must
necessarily resent Mr. Chapin's imputa
tion. And if Mr. Chapin went too far
in one direction there are thobe who are
of the opinion that the chairman of the
meeting, tho Rev. Dr. Lasby, leaned
altogether too far the other way. Cer
tainly all good citizens desire to see law
and order maintained so far as possible,
but it seems to us that it is timn to
stop these public discussions of the
social evil. We have had too much of
this sort of thing. Mayor Graham is
on record with reference to this question
and he should take care that his per
formances are as good as his promises.
If he does not do what he said he would
do he should be reprimanded and if
possible made to keep his word. But
let us avoid these sensational public
meetings. There are many things so
much nicer to talk about.
BEYOND ALL Governor Hoi comb is a
HOPE man of peculiar polities.
OF CUKE He does 6ome strange
things. But thus far at least be has

JPAROD OH OUR PMfcOORAMis
REV. EDWARD ANDERSON
D.D., of Connecticut, an ardent O. A. R.
man, will deliver the national address on
July 4.
of Lincoln will bo tho pianist of the assea
bljr. and everyone knows that means first
class music. Mrs. Jones has been at the
assembly many times and always makes
friends.
REV. J. D. STEWART
IRS. BENJAMIN
of Aurora, will conduct tho Adult Normal
Class as last year. Iter. Stewart has had
much experience in this work, and always
makes his lessons of much interest. The
normal work is the fundamental basis of
Chautauqua, ltis theonethingthatmakes
an Ideal Chautauqua Assembly.
MISS GERTRUDE I. ROBINSON
of Michigan, state president of the W. C
T. U.. will be at tho assembly fire days.
This will ensure a large attendance of
women, for Mrs. Benjamin is ono of the
national workers and speakers. She will
conduct four parliamentary drills.and it Is
possible for a person to become yery pro
ficient in parliamentary usages by attend
ing these drills.
Of Chicago, the most celebrated harpist of
that city, will be present for two days. A
fine harp, well played, makes the finest
of music, and it is only neccssay for a per
son to becomo a listener, to becomo a loror
of harp music
MRS. L. G. COREY
MRS. WILL OWEN JONES
o Lincoln will hare chargo of the C. L. 8.
C. work during the assembly. Sirs. Corey
is a lire Chautauquan. Sho has been inter,
ested in this work many years and has at
tended many assemblies. All Chautau
quans will immediately feel at home.
CHAUTAUQUANS, plan to come to Crete for the ten days You will get
new inspiration.
MINISTERS, plan to come to Crete. You will get new ideas, meet new
thinkers and in every way broaden your field of usefulness.
TEACHERS, come to Crete, meet new people, find out what the world ia
thinking. A week at Chautauqua Assembly is an education.
Mr. Gaflin as umpire, it does not occur
to any reasonable person to assail that
approval. Mr. Rtewater not being a
reasonable person, gets very much
excited and proceeds to abuse everybody
connected with the award. Mr. Rose
water's malady is getting worse every
day. It is now freely admitted by his
friends that his insanity is of the incur
able kind.
THE TWO PARTIES When we consider
ON the procedings of
SILVER QUESTION he national con
vention of the league of republican clubs
at Cleveland this week and recall the
late Sprinfield convention and other
demonstrations of democrats, we are
justified in the opinion that whatever
didos the democrats may cut on the
silver question, the republicans will
remain firm as heretofore in the advo
cacy of honest money. A vigorous
effort was made to carry the Cleveland
convention for silver; but it did not
avail. There will be no other important
gathering of republicans till 'DC and
the regular national convention will not
depart from the principle laid down in
preceding conventions. On the other
hand the democrats are hopelessly split.
It will be impossible to bring tho two
factions together harmoniously, and it
is probable that a new party may be
formed.
THE COURIER'S Last December The
second Courier gave away
VOTING CONTEST $300 in cash to the
winners in a coupon voting contest.
This week we inaugurate the second
contest. This time we offer two high
grade bicycles to the man and woman,
affiliated with any of the local wheel
organizations receiving the largest num
ber of votes. Full particulars are given
elsewhere. The wheels to be given
away are standard 8100 wheels, and
they are worth trying for. Who will
be the first to start the ball rolling?
