The continued existence and steady growth
OF any institution Of learning proves two
things: First, executive ability Of the high
est order, which makes Itself felt not only in
the upper stratum Of collegiate affairs, but
throughout the structure down TO the feeblest
bylaw; and second, that spirit Of liberality
and far-sightedness which tends 10 keep
abreast Of to-day.
The munihcence Of the founder Of Vassar
College would have been vain without these
conditions, and that she IS what she is, proves
the worth Of those shoulders upon which fell
the responsibilities born Of this generous
philanthropy. The college situated at
Poughkeepsie, N. Y, bears the same relation
TO the higher education Of young women, as
do Yale and Harvard to that OF men. A
glance through the catalogue discovers a
course Of study male possible for young
ladies only by the founding OF this institu-
tion. Standing amid her TWO hundred acres,
with miles Of walks, her lake and other
facilities for out of-dOOr exercise, her newly
erected laboratories and cabinets, her
library and reading room, museum Of natur-
al history, Astronomical obse rvatOry and her
gallery Of art, she Ia a monument alike Of
the splendid liberality Of her founder and the
equally splendid achievement on the part OF
the Nassars Of to-day.

LOOSE ABOUT THE TRUTH.

The reader Of current events must
come to the conclusion that Garfield is
a confidence prevaricator The Har-
risburg Patriot in a late issue draws
this picture Of the man who wants to
be President:
General Garfeld's testimony before
the De Golyer Investigating committee
is characteristic instance OF his habit
of prevarication. He declared in his
vindication speech to his constituents
in 1876 that he had labored hard dur.
ing most of a night in preparing the
brief of argument for the DE Golyer
pavement for which he received the
$4,000 fee, and that heargued the case
before the Washington Board Of Public
Works.
When before the Investigating Com
mittee as witness he was asked first
whether he filed an argument with
the Board, and he answered that he
had IAN impression" that he had filed
it, but was not certain" Two years
before he boldly told his constituents
that he argued the case before the
Board, He was next asked by the
Committee whether he at any time
appeared before the Board or made
any argument whatever. He answered
~ do not remember that | did but |
did speak to Governor Shepherd on
the subject, giving my opinion in its
favor" When Governor Shepherd was
brought on the witness stand he test.
fed that all Garfield did was to speak
TO him once on the subject.
This is the way in which the Chair
man of the House Committee on Ap.
preparations earned his $4,000 from
DE Golyer, by speaking once to Boss
Shepherd. lie told his constituents
of his arduous labors in preparing an
argument for the De Golyer wood
pavement andof his delivering the argu-
ment before the Board of Public Works.
lie subsequently swore that he argued
the case before the Board, but when
cross examined he "could not remem-
Der" that he did. Finally, when the
whole matter is sifted down he earned
his fee by speaking once to Boss Shep-
herd.
Such is the man who is presented to
the American people by great party
as a candidate for the exalted position
of President.

ONE GRAND ISSUE.

Among oil the great truths onuncia.
ted by the representatives of the Ma.
tional Democratic party in the Cincin.
matt Convention, there was none which
ELECTED more sincere ard unanimous
response than the Conventions with
ering denunciation of the great fraud.
There is not man in the United
States with an intellect above that OF
the clam who does not know and, in
his heart admit, that the Convention
stated simple fact when it declared
that the great "lraud of 1S76-77, by
which, upon a false count of tho elec.
toral votes Of two States, the candidate
defeated at the polls was declared to
be President, and, for the first time in
American history, the will of the peo.
pie was set aside under threat of
military violence, struck deadly blow
at our system OF representative govern
ment."
There is no intelligent man who docs
not know, no man who will not admit
that the Democratic party presented
to the world a noble example of patri.
otism when il consented TO submit, for
time, to that unparalleled crime;
when it calmly decided to be robbed Of
the results OF its victory and permit
the defeated opposition to triumph by
criminal methods, rather than plunge
the country into the horrors of civil
war. That example OF patriotic devo.
tion to the good of the people, that
sacrifice on the altar Of peace, has no
parallel in the history Of any country.
But when that decision was made,
and the victors assumed the place Of
the vanquished, they believed that the
great crime OF the age would be re.
membered and punished in 1880, and
the Cincinnati Convention stated only
an admitted truth when it asserted
that this issue precedes and dwarfs
every other; that il imposes more
sacred duty upon the people of the
Union than ever addressed the con.
science Of a nation of free men.
If the American people are worthy
OF freedom, if they deserve immunity
from successful plots OF revolutionary
conspirators, if they are fit to guard
the priceless jewel of liberty, if their
necks are not intended for the yoke of
despotism, if they would not decree
that fraud may again triumph and an.
archy assume the place of order-if,
in short, they are intellectually and
morally capable of selfgovernment,
they will put the seal of overwhelm-
ing condemnation on the party that
"struck deadly blow at our sys-
tenn of representative government

GARFIELD AND THE FRA I'D
OF 1876.

The leading Republican organs in
Indiana have dropped the issues of the
campaign and concentrated their forces
in villainous personal abuse of Mr.
Hendricks. This shallow device is in.
tended to draw public attention from
the record Of Gen. James A. Garfield,
but it will not have that effect.
On the contrary, Gen. Gar6eld's re-
cord in the matter of the fraud OF 1876
which Mr.. Hendricks has recently pre-.
sented in such vidid light, will be
scanned with the same scrutiny that
the organs of Gen. Garfeld's party be
slowed on Credit Mobilier and De
Golyer some years ago, and the con
clusion will be as damaging as was the
Poland report, which contradicted his
oath.
1t is not uncbaritable to remark thai
the more one investigates part OF Gen
Garfeld's public life, the more one il
inclined to concur in the opinion ex
pressed by bis Republican neighbour
in 1876, that "HE OUGHT TO BIZ
! IN THE PENITENTIARY."
Those who don't 60 quito so far a
that will compromise on the deolara
ton of those Radical organs that, il
1873, rose up to assert most vehemently
that Gen. Garfield "MUST BE KICK
ED OUT OF CONGRESS"
And yet there are people who want
this man Garfield to be made President
ofthe United States, whothey said dyearI
ago fought 10 be in the penitentldry."

The LAST FRAuD.-An exchange
says "The statue ofex. Governor John
W. Geary, authorized by an act OF the
Legislature, was erected over the grave
of the deceased on Wednesday week,
in Mount Kalmia Cemetery, at Har-
risburg. The statue was erected un-
der the supervision Of Commission
consisting of Governor Hoyt, Secre-
tary of the Commonwealth Quay and
Secretary OF Internal Affairs Dunkle.
Over forty designs were submitted,
that chosen by the Commission being
the design OF Mr.. George Starkey, OF
Scranton. The statue stands on a pc.
destal, the whole twelve and a half
ieet high, the statue being six feet four
inches high. The figure represents
the Governor in full Major Generals
uniform, tho left arm resting on flag
draped column, In the right hand is
held the undress military hat worn
dnring the late war; in the left hand
gauntlet. AT the foot Of the statue
is cannon ball On the pedestal is
the white star OF Geary's division, and
beneath the star tablet bearing the
words, Major General John W. Geary,
in Gothic letters. The monument is
of bronze the base and pedestal Of
granite. The Legislature, in 1878, ap-
propriated $4,000 for the purpose and
this amount will be paid to Mr.. Star.
key now that the monument is placed
in position" OF all the Governors the
State ever had, Geary was the least
entitled to thisrs5, 900 grab because,
through him and George 0, Evans the
State Treasury lost 100000 at one
clip.
