social standing. His conduct SO far

When Major EilwoOd Griest was can

Wiley to support Smith, and his effective

Fourth ward, was we'll calculated to raise
the majors dander. Griest has been on
the war path for Wiley ever since, and will
not be happy until the collectors bleeding
scalp hangs at his belt. He is especially
vicious in this weeks Inquirer, being stirred
to fresh assault by the news that
"various names have been mentioned in

"in accordance with some visionary ideas

A Biil That Needs Watching.

New Era.
It is one thing to demand tho reasons
which have led the State Agricultural COL
lege to fail SO signally in doing the good
work expected of it and quite another to
give the annual appropriation it has been
receiving to sundry other institutions scat
tered here and there over the state. This
latter, We regret to learn, the enemies oi
the college now propose to do. A bill has
been drawn up by the men interested in
securing share of the spoiis which they
would wrest from the state and appropri-
ate to themselves. This modest bill gives
IS 600 yearly to the University of fennsyl
vania. 1t gives the same amount to a COL
lege in the western part of the state, as
yet unnamed the normal school at West
Chester is put down for 81, 500, and some
unnamed normal school in the western
part of the state is to be the recipient of
an equal sum. Besides the above, $1,000
more are to be paid to each Of the already
indicated normal schools annually for the
maintenance Of experimental stations
laboratory fixtures and other things. The
state board of agriculture may, if il
sees fit, adopt either of the three expert
mental farms in connection with the ex
pcTllucuIdl SCstIlOuS, OuI Il ILLS Is UCcIIlCu
inexpedient, then the boaod shall be au
thorized to sell either or all of the said
farms, and purchase others, convenient
ly located and adapted TO the purpose
aforesaid" There are a great MANY other
provisos of various kinds in the bill, dc
timing certain other things that shall be
done at these schools, and by the profes
sors who teach in them, but the gist of the
bill is in what we have given above.
We now begin to appreciat. what the

sincerely opposed to any further grant of
aid to it. seeing that profiigate waste and
poor results have thus far characterized
it. But we entirely agree with our local
contemporary that this movement must
be in Il higher interest than that of an or
