Colleges,

The Presbyterian board of aid for COL
leges and academies has expressed most
decided opinion in favor Of an increase
in the number of colleges, especially in
the West. The common complaint has
been that the country already has more
colleges than 1t can support respectfully,
and one Of the speakers at recent meet.
ing Of this board in Philadelphia CON-
planned that TO construct colleges, gather
students and then withhold financial sup.
port was an old story In the west. The
truth is that money is too scarce now in
the Western country to expect very much
OF It to be devoted to institutions OF learn
ing, and 1t takes something more than
money to make a college. 1t may be, as
another delegate observed, that Germany
has one hundred more colleges and thir-
team more universities than this country /;
but though she Is very much smaller in
area than these United States she is very
much older. A great many generations
have had chance to die and leave their
millions Of property for the advance ment
of learning in Germany.
Undoubtedly We neld colleges but,
nst Of all, We need to bring those We
have Into more healthy condition. In
70 profession is ability and hard work
- poorly rewarded as In that OF the
American college professor, and to
give this laborer the hirs of which
b ID worthy, II might bs well to urge an
incrsa2e OF colleges. The demand for his
br tns would certainly drive up the price,

Sane Suicides.

Five suicides a day Is about the average
crop OF the morning papers, and 1t is easy
to believe statistics that show an alarm
ing Increase Of this crime.
The reason and the best remedy ought
not to be very hard to find, but the fact
that the evil prevails where education
and culture have been carried TO their
highest point, and that We pride our.
selves on the rapid and steady rise of the
whole people to standard of intellectual
development never Sefore attainable by
any but the favored few, appears to JUS.
tify the fear that this variety of crime Is
bound to increase.
It lis charitable, if not comforting, to
class this increase Of self slaughter with
the increase Of insanity, and to ascribe
both to the wear and tear of mental
machinery by the high pressure methods
Of the age. Unfortunately for this theory,
the people who commit suicide usually
give very little ground for the assump'
tion of lunacy, and seem quite at
home In the word, save In their manner
Of leaving it. Suicides are often insane,
but they are as often quite clear headed
and strong minded. In such cases 1t
viii usually re found that they have not
shown firm belief in a hereafter, and in
fact very little interest In the question
Qf what might be beyond. Death was q
blind plunge in the dark for them, and in
life they probably tried to do right, and
live happily, accepting the principle that
virtue il its own reward. They would
assent to almost anything about the great
unknown country from which no traveller
returns, for where was the use Of think
ing about matter that did not concern
their present life and duties AS a re-
suit their view Of life was like Chinese
landscape, all foreground and no perspec-
tive. Their possible three score years
and ten was magnided out of its true
proportions, and the little troubles Of this
LIE became great burdens beyond human
strength. The lack of the true idea OF
the relative proportion Of human life to
the promised eternity, is the cause Of
most suicides of sane men.

Youghiogheny Coal company, directing
the mine superintendent to serve the
miners with notices to vscate their homes,

shown that he ever evicted tenant. 1t Is
said that tenants were evicted under this
notice but perhaps 1t was only threat 1t

ceded, to meeting tho condition which
would vacate Mr.. SCOTS seat Men, whe,
they get excited, are apt to make rash
spromises. Mr.. Scott IL pretty generally in
a state Of excitement, but he has msnsged
very well through his life not to get caught
In Improbable contracts. Perhaps II
would he profitable to him to leave Con-
gress, where the conditions are not suitable

handles facts too csrelessly. The Dispatch

whose labor was credited TO the father q

what has become of Whit Monday ?
This year you could not tell 1t, on the
streets OF Lancaster, from any ordinary
Monday. Yet in other years they were
80 crowded with country visitors that
they were hardly passable and the
hotels were so full that you could scarcely
enter them. The glories Of the
day have been disappearing for
some years, and now 1t seems to
have died altogether. Some say that II
is because there is nothing In the amuse-
ment line any longer provided to espec.-
ally attract visitors. But 1t must be
remembered that 1t was the visitors that
produced the amusements, and the latter
must have ceased to be profitable, to be
abandoned. We do not have the flying
horses, doubtless because the flying
horses ceased to pay (; and this was be.
cause they were not sufficiently patron.
ized and that was either because the
Whitsuntide crowd became too small, or
because II ceased 10 have taste for the
Whitsuntide amusement.
Doubtless, the last is the true reason
for the decay OF the celebration OF the
day. 1t never was clear to the ordinary
understanding where the fun OF Whit
suntide came in to the country lad and
lassie; especially the lassie, who was left
by her beau or her pa, standing along the
wall of the hotel parlor, while he was
searching around for fun or beer. And
funny and solemn rows they were of wall
flowers In gloomiest bloom.
There was fun in the buggy-ride COM
ing into town doubtless, and perhaps,
too, in going home, II the young man was
sober but there was the most meagre
sort Of show for pleasure in the crowded
streets, outside the pleasure Of peanuts.
The boys and girls Of the country have
found out that peanuts and buggy-rides
are to be had on every day In the year,
when they have time for them, in the
country as well as the city and they
have sensibly concluded to take them at
home.

Great Scott.

Mr.. william L, Scott seems to be as
peone 20 misstatement when he speaks
extemporsneously as when he reads his
manuscript. Mr.. Dalzell has shown that
Nr, SCOTS statements in the colloquy he
had with Dalzsll and Brumm, Eere quite
dii1erent from those printed in the Record
after Mr.. Scott had revised them ; and
% Mr.. Scott did not deny them, 1t must
b understood to be true that he with.
drew material assertions that he had
made In the debate and substituted
Others, which had not been made.
It - the habit OF congressman, we be-
lieye, to revise their speeches made on
ths floor for publication in the official
Record; but 1t is not permissible to do
this, when the remarks Of others have been
based upon the statements, the withdrawal
or alteration of which Is desired, until
those others at least have been consulted
and have consented. Mr.. Scott made a
radical alteration OF his speech, without
consulting those who were affected by 1t,
even charging Mr.. Dllzell with being the
special counsel OF Truss; charge which
he certainly ought to have made to his
face IL he desired to make it at all.
We have said that we are dissatisfied
with Mr.. Scott's inaccuracy In this de.
bate and that we believe that he as
sumes role as the leader of the Demo
cratic party In Pennsylvania which hii
characteristics and temperament will mol
enable him to maintain. Mr.. Scot
achieves his prominence by the supposed
FAVOR of the president, into whose Penn
gylvania representative he has beer
elected, or has elected himself we d.
mot know how the fact is /; but we do be
lieve that the president Is a man OF ex'
cellent sense, and that he has not handed
over his share Of the control of the Dem.
ocratic party of Pennsylvania or any
other state to any man. The presidents
legitimate influence over his party IL

and Is only too glad when II

that one 10 restless and pushing as Mr.
Scott should rush out of the hose hous'
