The PHILADELPHIA Press has me-

The Philadelphia Press has made a
thorough canvass of the state to see
how it will vote on the prohibition ques-
ton next June. From this canvass it
"appears that the country is likely to
vote for prohibition and the cities
against it. In other words. If the pro-
hibition amendment is to be defeated
the cities will have to return such large
majorlties against it that they will swal-
low up the majorltles given for it in the
country" As the poll was non-parti-
san, including leaders of both parties
and all the members of the legislature,
it must considered as accurate as a
forecast can be.

A Noble Gift.

As commemorative of the initiatory
step in local philanthropic enterprise
which when fully consummated vii
challenge the gratitude of our people
in as full measure as it honors him, we
reproduce on another page in this Is.
sue of The WING, an excellent portrait
of our esteemed citizen the Hon
Jacob Tome.
Under the name and title of "The
Tome Male and Female Seminary Of
Port DEPOSIT" he has just filed a GER
tificate of incorporation of free insti-
tuition OF learning for both sexes IN that
town, which he proposes in the near
future to endow with sufficient income
to carry out in the fullest sense the OBJ
jects and purposes of its incorporation.
We are not informed whether Mr..
Tome has or has not decided upon a
plan of organization and basis of en-
dowment for the proposed seminary.
He may donate for Its uses half a
million or a million of dollars. But of
one thing all may rest assured, that he
will donate every dollar required to per-
feet its organization, and to secure its
perpetual maintenance, and that the
same practical intelligence and sound
business judgment, that have marked
his career in life, will control him in
this important enterprise.
Apart, however, from the public in
terest excited over the probable loca-
ton, and possible endowment of the
institution, We confess our interest cen
tiers more upon its character, its objects,
and its aims. In fixing this character.
Mr.. Tones strong, practical, everyday
common sense will find ready express
sion. This is indicated ID a single
clause of its charter, which leaves the
introduction of the technical or manual
training feature of popular education
for both sexes, to the discretion OF its
trustees. This feature must prove an
inestimable adjunct to the mere schol-
astic character of the Seminary. The
popular demand of our day is for such
a system of education as will fit the
youth of both sexes for successful me
chanical and industrial careers. So far
as "our boys" are concerned, the ex-
acting demands of the Trades Unions
have practically broken up the Ameri-
can system of apprenticeship. That
system was once the bulwark of our
American industries. Technical Insti-
tutes, and Manual Training Schools
must help to supply its loss, as well as
assist in breaking down fictitious no
tons of responsibility attached to GER
tam professions and pursuits. The fea-
lures of the proposed Seminary which
provide school for girls where they
may be instructed in work which opens
an enlarged field for them, specially
commend this enterprise. An advanced |
civilization has removed the stigma
from labor in America. All honest
labor IS respectable, alike for sons and
daughters, and he who by the contrl-
button of his brains, or of his wealth, or
of both, makes easier the individual at
talnment of skill IN any avocation of
life, is indeed benefactor of his race.

There is now less speculation on the
Cabinet problem than there has been al
any time since the November election
The silence of General Harrison has
baffled the most persistent agitators
and the general feeling is that the
country will have to contain itself il
patience until the nominations are trans
mitted to the Senate. This was the
case with General Grants Cabinet, its
composition being matter of doubt
until the names were published on the
day after his Inauguration.

Bitter complaints of the inehciency
of the postal service are coming in from
the West. These complaints are doubt
less well grounded in majority OF
cases, but the sufferers should be pa
tient. On the 4th OF March measures
will be provided for restoring the entire
postal system to the high level of eff
cheney In which the Republicans left it
four years ago, and in little while the
public will find nothing in the service
to grumbfe about.

Baltimore, Md, Jan. 81 Especial -
The Methodist ministers OF Baltimore
will not pass resolutions suggesting to
General Harrison whether or not he shall
attend the inauguration ball. Rev. w.
L. ID. GLENN has for more than a week
had resolution eondemning the ball and
suggesting as much more appropriate
commemoration of this event that a
Union religious service be held on the
night of the 4th of March, in Washington
to which the President and his family be
invited and in which ''the blessing and
guidance of the God of Nations be in
voked upon the Chief Magistrate, his
administration and the country"
This was expected to come up in the
meeting, but the Ministerial Association
will not take action on the matter. Pri-
vately they say that, while opposed to
dancing and balls, they look upon the
Inauguration ball as an institution which
has existed since the beginning of the
Government, and with which President
Harrison will have nothing to do except
to attend as an invited guest.
