whom We Mourn.

Wedo not feel altogether sure that we
should open our lips in coincidence with
our bereaved fellow-citizen who is about
to descend from the state superintend-
ency of the public schools. We do not
like to enter house of mourning to
which we are not hidden. We know we
are not entitled to a place among the rel
atives at the approaching obsequies but
still as it is an event of local interest, +,
we may be permitted to stand about the
house and watch the proceedings with a
becomingly sad countenance.
We have felt an interest in the de-
parted ever siEce he arose and shone III
the headship of that odd institution, of
wonderful heads and trustees, the Mil
lersville normal school. It seems to be
enough to stamp q man as great, to sim
ply exhibit him at the head of this
school book manufacturing establish
ment. There he is the great C I am"
and even when he gets into Lancas-
ter he continues to be the great &C. I am !"
and cuts off students heads on our
streets and street cars, with ferocity
worthy of Chinese mandarin. We do
not believe that when Superintendent
Wickersham left Millersville the autoc-
racy there had reached its present growth,
but the seed was there and the influence
followed him. The afflatus was within
him, and buoyed him up in the discharge
of his duties as superintendent of the
common schools of. the state and pub
Usher of the School Journal which We
bslieve is ordered to be read as a
text book at least to be paid for. The
professor would not have been a true
Millersville professor if he had not pub
lished something profitable if not valu-
able.
The Millersville afflatus buoyed up our
departed friend, too, on the stormy sea of
politics but only for awhile. It wasn't
much of a life raft and would upset in
the waves so much so that the profess
sor got sick !; and last summer confided to
us his belief that the Republican party
would be beaten and deserved to be,
and that the experience would do
it good. But when the ram
shackle concern got glued to-
gether in the fall, he seemed to revise
his opinion, and even became so excited,
because we could not follow him in his
sudden change of front, as to threaten to
order all the advertisements out of the
INTELLIGENCER. Here was the Mil
lersville spirit in full blast in the
professors mind, SO many years after he
had left the village. No doubt he really
thought he could do it; and probably
those delightful trustees would have
passed a resolution affirming his right to
do it but advising him not to try. May
be they did !; and that may explain why
the INTELLIGENCER is still published
while our dear superintendent is now our
dear departed, whom we mourn. Peace
to his ashes!

SENATOR ANGUS CAMERON, whom the
Independents elected senator in Wiscon-
sin six years ago, against Carpenter, has
developed into full fiedged boss, as often
sive az his namesakes in Pennsylvania.
His election to succeed Carpenter is
charged to bribery. Several very serious
rumors are afoat. One is that member
of Assembly has suddenly been able to
discharge a mortgage of 1900 on his
homestead. Another is said to have been
promised a senatorial nomination in one of
the southwestern districts. A dispatch
from prominent Republicans of Milwaukee
predicts serious breach in the Republi-
can party in the state as the outcome of
his election. Tie same politicians who
secured Sawyer's election six weeks ago
have pushed Cameron through. The
party is now divided into what arc called
monopoly and anti-monopoly parties, and
unless the trouble is happily smoothed
over serious breach is looked for in the
state election next fall. The state press
is loud in denouncing tho Milwaukee
postoffice ring, and states as fact that
the railroad and other corporations con-
tributed all in their power to elect Sawyer,
and that Cameron belongs to the same
CLIQUE.

Harry Seldomridge, son of Isaac Sell
domridge, has arrived home from Fort
Mackinaw, Mich, where he has been sta
toned for the past two years. He served
two years and nine months in the regular
army, and was discharged about five
months ago on account of sickness, having
been confined in the hospital at that point
ever since. Mr.. Seldomridgs does not
know the nature of his disease, but
thinks it was caused by the sudden change
of climate from Texas, where he was first
stationed, to the intense climate of North
ern Michigan. He states that he had to
walk eighteen miles on ice, from the fort
to ShebOygan, where he took the stage to
the nearest railroad point.

HARPER & BROTHERS, announce their
intention of publishing Immediately an
edition Of "Carlyle's "reminiscences " in
a volume containing twelve portraits at 60
cents, and in a number of the Franklin
Square library at Is cents. This is in re-
taliation for the publication at s3 of the
same work in advance by Charles Scrib-
ner's Sons, the latter obtaining their copy
through Mr.. Froude, the editor, while the
Harpers claim that by an agreement ef-
fected by Mr.. Carlyle, in 1879, through
Mencure D. Conway, they held the right
recognized by trade courtesy to print the
"reminiscences in America. The Phila
