Serious Charges Against an Alleged
 Syndicate in Pennsylvania.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 21-A morning pa- per tomorrow will publish six column ar ticle on the management of the soldiers or phan schools of Pennsylvania, which al leges not only official discrimination, neglect and corruption, but also that a syndicate is profting at the rate of $50, 900 year in the management of mum Der of the schools A voluminous array of figures taken from the books of the institu- tions and from those of the soldier orphans department of the State are given to support the allegations. The article says: Though the war ended twenty-sne years ago and though all the children whose fathers on the field have long since passed their majority, the soldiers orphan schools are still maintained by annual appropria- tions from the legislature mainly for the encouragement of few men whose faces are we'll known in the lob by at Harrisburg. Strange it may seem, yet it is nevertheless true that syn dicate headed by ex-Senator George Wright of Mercer county profits at the rate of about $50, 900 a year upon the management of four schools located at Mt Joy, Mercer, McAllis- ter and Chester Springs" There is evidence that the chief clerk of the soldiers OrpldD department, JduloS !I. l aIl, nao a participator in the profits of the Nit. Joy school and received checks for three years in succession at the rate of S1,5O0 year, all of which was charged up in the books as "loans." The State pays specific amount per week for each child admitted to schools under pri- vate management and the State laws require that the children shall be fed and clothed in addition to the instruction. The express requirements of the law have been literally disregarded. When this fact was called to the attention of the State superintendent of soldiers orphans schools, Rev. E. E. Higby, he remarked: "Wen, guess they get more than they would at home" In some of the syndicate schools children are packed together in bedrooms and in school rooms like herrings. At McAllister the boys bedding was found to be in dis graceful condition. At Mercer in consequence of the penurious methods of the manage ment, some of the boys bathed in pickle barrels. two boys to each barrel. At Chester Springs some twenty-five or thirty pupils have been deprived of school ing for three months or more upon some pretext Twelve children were crowded in hovel at Mt.

LETTER FROM URBANA.

Mr.. Etlitor.-It would be pleasure
for me to give you the news from
here, but your readers are so far away
that it would not be Of general inter-
est to them.
I see in late issue of THE HERALD
that some of your farmers are going
to try the Dayton Hedge Fence. Now
as brother farmer, and one who has
had twenty years. experience with a
half a mile as line fence, half mine
and half my neighbours, would say
We tried every way to make it pig
proof, but all in vain. The Hedge
Co. will say, Garard and his neigh
bors did not attend to it in the right
way. Well, may be we did not, but
we came to the conclusion that it was
a nuisance as line fence, and my
neighbor has rooted his out and put a
nice board fence up, and stretched a
barbed wire on top, that not only
makes it pig proof, but will turn any
kind of unruly stock. AS for mine, I
hired regular hedge man to lay and
wire it, and the consequence is that
half of it will die and is dead now.
That is twenty years. experience. 1
will not condemn hedge fence, only
as line fence. Most all hedge fence
in this county is set on the road sides,
and when nicely handled and taken
care of, it makes farm look nice ;
but on the other hand, if the farmer
is careless and don't take care of it, to
the passerby it will be unsightly and
horrid looking.
The outlook for fruit of all kind,
except peaches, never was better, and
where there are peach trees they, too,
are promising. Wheat looks pretty
well; it will not make as big crop
as it looked in the spring when it
came out of its winter quarters. 1t is
two weeks earlier than last spring,
which indicates good crop. The hay
crop is very heavy; clover will soon
be ready to cut corn is stan ding we'll
on the ground, but it is a nice time to
clean and cultivate it.
The health of the county is good,
very few deaths. OF our Virginia
folks, never go to Urbana but what
| see some one who has lived in Vir-
ginia at some time. We always sa-
Lutte each other with Well, how is

A DEMOCRATIC OPINION OF DEMO-
CRATIC RULE In THIS STATE.

1t is useless to disguise the truth !;
the fact is that foreign capital boy
colts West Virginia, aud our cit,
liens of moderate means cannot en-
large their resources, year by year,
as men, in like circumstance, are do
ing in other States; the fact is that
scarcely any one IN West Virginia
is prospering unless he is pension
er on some millionaire who has a
back door staircase to outside cap
ital: the fact is that money cannot
be obtained in the open market for a
West Virginia enterprise, aud that
the very few individuals who alone
have access to outside capital are
buying our most valuable proper
ties for a mere trifling price; the
fact that the condition which now
prevails in this State is exactly the
condition to make rich richer and
the poor poorer.
If our people are wise, they vii
rebel in each county against the
professional managers of local pol
itics, and, for once, elect to the Leg
islature men who will represent the
general public instead of cliques. :

DEFEAT OF THE HOME RULE BILL

At the division on the second
reading OF the Home Rule bill in the

The FIVE hundred or more people

large penknife was clasped in heI

the knife was placed in her hand by
the murderer to allay suspicion
The woman is well-known, from the
fact that she was closely connected
with the murder of a man named
Mcdonald at McCoy's several years
