will forever rebound to the glory, and
continue to increase the honor of its
ph,lanthropic founder.
In The year 1866. The late Hon. Asa
Packer, of Hauch Chunk. appropriated
the sum Of oJOO.UUO and l15 acres Of
land in south Bethlehem to establish
an institution of learning. in which
young men might be afforded a complete
technical education in civil. mechanical,
and mining engineering, chemistry and
metGllWgyJo which was added school
of general literature, in which instruc-
ton is given in the modern languages
and the ancient classics.
In addition to the gifts made during
his lifetime, Judge Packer. by his last
will, secured to the University an en-
dowment of Sl1, 100000, and to the
University Library S500,000
The winter meeting of the Lehigh
University Athletic Association, held in
the gymnasium on Saturday afternoon
last, was most successful one and the
athletes of Lehich are to be congratu-
lated on the good exhibition they gave.
This is but the third Of the gymnasium
meetings, and the exhibitions given are
becoming more popular yearly. 1t is
evident that the gymnasium is not only
benefit to the student but an absolute
necessity, for in 1t he is able to secure
the much-needed exercise necessary for
close application to study, and as
study enlarges the brain and expands
the mind with knowledge, so the gym
nasium developes the body and pre-
serves the health. l..

more directly in contact with the people
at large, than any other class Of office
holders. If any complaints is 20 be made
1t might justly come from the Demo-
cats, who see partisans of the most Of
fensive stamp enjoy the trusts to which
they are fairly entitled. These Repub-

agents Of the party in all the rural dis
tricts. Their Offices are the centres of
attraction. and they are used openly to

factors in the coming Congress elections,
and no matter what sentimental orders
may be issued from Washington, they
will DO their best, if retained in office,
to elect Republican Representatives.

THE Rev. Madison G. Peters, who Is
also well known as platform lecturer,
startled the Ministers Union at their
meeting Monday morning, in Philadel-
phia, by hurting a few strong arguments
for Sunday journalism at Dr.. Rufus
Clarke, who had bitterly denounced
Sunday papers as 'children bonn Of
hell" DIR. Clarke had declared that
Sunday papers were established against
Gods will. Mr.. Peters said Sunday
newspapers could only be competed
with by wide-awake ministers who could
write sermons as attractive as the pa
pers. DR.. Clarke declared that the
devil was responsible for Sunday papers
and that they are against the Constitu-
tion of the United States. Mr. Peters
then said that ministers could fill their
churches if their sermons egualed the
productions of the press. On motion
the matter was referred TO the commit
tee on Sunday observance. In our
opinion the Rev. Madison C. Peters is
very level headed on the question Of
Sunday papers. f.

the Gubernatorial nomination: Meth

THE STATE FIvBECEs.

If the report of State Treasurer Livsey
for the year 1885 demonstrates ANYTHING
clearly, it is that the estimates OF fiscal
officers as to the income to the State
from given revenue laws are of no value
whatever. The estimates for the general
fund of the State for the year were 81, =
4T5,500. The actual receipts were $6,-
1852, 522.93, or more than forty per cent.
above the estimate. This large increase
occurred under the workings of the old
law, which had been in force in its main
features for years. An estimate under
the new law, which is being fought in
the courts at many points, would be still
more unreliable.
The condition of the State debt NAV
be said TO be very satisfactory, The
total interest bearing debt is placed at
Sl7,Sl4,S00. As an Offset the State
holds in its sinking fund railway and
government bonds to the amount OF
SS,000,000, leaving the net debt about
Sl0,000,000. As this Indebtedness is
being decreased under present laws at
the rate ot three quarters of a million
yearly, the Commonwealth may cont.
IDENTIFY look forward TO being clear OF
debt in a short time if the present policy
is maintained as it should be.
The danger that the debt will not con.
tinue to decrease as rapidly as the con,
dition Of the State finances warrant lies
in the constantly growing tendency tc
appropriate money for alleged charitable
purposes. Treasurer Livsey has classi.
fled the expenditures under existing
laws for the current year, showing thai

charities, penitentiaries and care of the
insane, 81, ,425, 900, and for the National

Washington News and Gossip.
From our Snecial Corresnondent.


Mr.. Enron: The week has been
characteristic Of early spring. In re-
sponse to the genial influence of sun
shine and showers nature begins to
awaken from her winter sleep. The
crocuscs and other early blossoming
plants have appeared as sort Of ad-
vance guard to the wealth of blossom
ing veriure which will soon transform
the public parks and grounds into the
bowers of beauty, which have for years
rendered the National Capital the most
attractive Of all American cities in the
springtime.
With the return of spring work has
been resumed upon the various unfn-
ished buildings, both public and private.
and the present prospects are that
larger number Of buildings will be erect
ell during the season than during any
previous year in the history of Wash
ing,on. The long disputed question as
to the location Of the proposed new
Congressional library building, which
has occupied so much of the time Of
Congress during the past two or three
sessions, is likely to be settled at an
early day In fact it may be said that
beyond a reasonable doubt the bill now
pending before the House, which pro-
yides for the purchase Of a square Of
ground east Of the Capitol upon which
TO erect the building, will become q
law.
Among the bills recently introduced
in the House is one which proposes to
open wide straight street from the
center Of the Capitol building to the
center OF the Washington Monument.
1t is difficult for the ordinary mind to
conceive what purpose in the direction
OF either utility or beauty can be served
by the opening OF such an avenue
through lhs attractive park which now
separates those structures. The pro-
posed street would simply connect two
splendid architectural structures. and
without accommodating the public in
any way, would deVastate the artistical-
ly designed plan of the grounds and in
voiye the destruction of many Of the
rare and beautiful trees, which are
among the chief glOres Of Washington
aud should be preserved at any cost.

Mr.. E. c. Nledt has secured subscriptions
of $1,000 toward the construction of the

prevailed that the HERALD has not been ia
vorably inclined towards this bridge, The
HERALD urged the extension of Main street
to the river and the construction of the
Chavez street bridge before Messrs. Niedt
and Stearns ever saw Los Angeles. At the
present time the people of Los Angeles city

cured the requisite subscription to erect
bridge. There is no use in obstructing their
plans Let them be carried out The Cha.

enterprise should antagonize the other.
Both bridges must be built In short time
East Los Angeles will contain 10000 people.
