interesting only our only com
petitor left out the point Of
the joke, in its own simple
way. 1t purported to describe
the way an English tailor went
about getting up a suit of clothes, and
his supercilious contempt for Ameri-
cans The joke was that the clothes
did not fit and there is nothing else in
the item, but our only competitor left
that out.
But there is a still better joke about
it. Our only competitor credited the
item to the Pittsburg Bulletin. The
truth is the original article appeared
three months ago, with illustrations,
in THE SUNDAY MORNING NEWS.
But our only competitors memory is
poor.
WE rejoice to know that our romantic friend,
General E. Burd Grub, has recovered from his
political bruises. Crusaders Castle, No. IA,
Knights of the Golden Eagle, debated the other
night the question, (which is Worthy the
Greater Admiration, the Works of Art or the
Works of Nature?'' General E. Burd Grubb
stood up for Nature, and his side won the de-
bate. OF course. Isn't a game chicken worthier
of admiration than a chrome of a game
chicken? -Ne1o York Sun.
This is not fair. The General is a
gentleman of artistic taste, and doubt
less possesses that love ofnature which
is the truest test of refinement of soul.
We have never said and " will say
that the General is aught else than
an amiable, cultured, pleasa MT and
socially popular man.. He is no states
maj and no politician, and it was a
pity he came out of the sphere which
he adorns to meet with disappoint-
ment and Encouragement in n for
which he is unfit by nature and train.

COLORED EMIGRATION.
Two Mcasures on the Subject In
tFOduced tn the senate.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The
matter ofproviding place for the
colored people to emierate and be at
peace was brought to the attention
of the Senate to day. Senator Glib
son offered a resolution instructing
the Committee OH Foreign Relations
to inquire into the expediency and
practicability of acquiring or setting
apart territory for the occupancy of
the colored citizens of the United
States; also as to how far and in
what manner the Government can
aid them to settle there. 1t was re-
ferred to the Committee or Foreign
Relations, which will report by bill
or otherwise.
Another bill by Senator Butler on
the same suject provides for the
emigration of colored people from
the Southern States. Any colored
person desiring to go to a foreign
country to settle, and being too
poor to pay the cost Transportation
can apply to the nearest United
States Commissioner, who will give
q certificate. This sent to the
Quartermaster General of the Army
will procure the needed transporta-
tion. The bill approrria tes $5,OOO,-

THE SICKNESS AND DEATH OF
DR, HIGBER.
superintendent of Public schools.


LANCASTER, Dec. 10.-The city
was shocked this evening by the
announcement that Rev. DR.. f. E.
Higbee, State superintendent of pub
lie instruction. had been stricken
with paralysis and was in a critical
condition. The Doctor was stricken
late this afternoon at Mifflintown,
Pa, where he had been in at.
tendance on the teachers county
institute. For some time past he
has not been enjoying the best of
health, and during his discourse
this afternoon it was noticed by his
auditors that his face paled and
flushed alternately and assumed a
strange expression. On concluding
his address the Doctor left the hall
and started for the railroad station.
While in the waiting room he fell to
the floor stricken with paralysis.
He received medical attention and
was then, at his own request, put
on the train, and taken to Harris.
burg by Master Builder Edward
Weimer, of the Pennsylvania Rail.
road Company.
At Harrisburg DR.. Higbee was
about to be removed to the hospital
when it was thought better to send
him home and he left for here at
o'clock, arriving at 9, being still un.
conscious.
He was removed to the residence
of his son.in-law, Professor George
F. Null, of Franklin and Marshall
College, where he lies at midnight
unconscious and his condition ap'
parently unchanged from when he
was first attacked, DR.. j. Z. Baker
his attending physician, states that
his entire LETT side is paralyzed but
that the right side is apparently
unaffected. He declines to give an
opinion as to the probable effects
of the stroke, saying that it may
pass off in twenty-four hours, but
tina serious consequences may fol-
low.
DR.. Higbee is of a naturally frail
constitution, which latterly has been
undermined by hard work and adj
vanclng years and his many friends
here entertain the gravest fears OF
the outcome of the attack.

Governor Beaver 1ssues a b'rOclamn
tion Reviewina His Past Career.

HARRISBURG, Dec. l3.-Gover-
nor Beaver to>night issued the fol.
lowing proclamation:
"It again devolves upon the ex'
ecutive the sad duty Of announcing
TO the people of this Commonwealth
the death of an eminent citizen and
faithful official. DR.. E. e. Higbee,
superintendent of public instruction
died this morning at his home in
the city of Lancaster. For nearly
nine years and by the appointment
OF three successive governors he
served the people of this State with
singular fidelity and purity and
singleness of purpose, as the honor
ed head of the educational DEPART
ment Of the State government.
"He was born March 27, 1880,
and graduated from the University
of Vermont in 1s49. He received
his professional education at tho
theological seminary at Mercersburg
in this State, and entered the min
istry in 1856. He became professor
of languages in Hsldelburg College,
Ohio, in 1850, but three years later
removed to the city OF Pittsburg
and resumed his labors in the minis
try. Soon after he returned, as one
of it's professors, TO the Theological
Seminary from which he graduated
and in 1869 was elected to the presi-
dency of Mercersburg College, which
position he filled until his appoint
ment as superintendent of public
instruction in 1881, and this latter
office he held by reappointment in
1885 and 1889 until the time of his
death.
"Dr. Higbee was man of broad
culture, a polished and thoug ghtful
scholar, familiar alike with the treas

ures of ancient and modern thought

and literature. AS an instructor, at
tainments and varied resources
brought to him abundant success in
every department of effort, and as
an educator in it's broadest and best
sense, he had attained a rank among
the first in the nation. AS a public
officer he was painstakihg and con-
scientious; as a man he was pure
simple-hearted, genial, gentle and
kind.
"The teachers of the State and
his associates in the great work OF
education loved him with final
devotion and the Commonwealth
trusted him as a pure, noble, true
and honest man.

The Contest Tor Governor.

7 he campaign for the Republican
nomination for Governor is fairly
opened d. Senator Delamater unfurl-
ed his flag last week, and General
Hastings has promptly followed in
throwing his standard to the breeze.
These are the central figures of the
contest but not the only ones. In
the background stand Secretary
Stone, Major Mortooth and poseib-
ly General Goblin and Others.
The episodes of the past week
have chrystallized the issue. 1t had
long been understood that Senator
Delamater and General Hasting were
in the field. But there had been no
formal avowal, and whether they
really be rivals for the nomination
or whether they will be running
mates pacing in the same harness
was not altogether clear. The past
week has determined this point.
When Senator Delamater, fresh from
his visit in Washington, to
Philadelphia and ran his flag to the
masthead it was plain that he had
mapped out his campaign and knew
his ground. Then came the stories,
following General Hastings visit to
Pittsburg, that he had formed an
alliance with Magee and Montooth,
and would rally the opposition to
Senator Quay. This forward move
meut on the other side demanded
prompt action, and General Hast
ings meets it by dlsavowing the re-
puted com bination and frankly put
ting himself in the field on his own
merits.
Delamater and Hastings are thus
openly and fairly in the race, each
for himself, each standing on his
own feet, and with no common un-
derstanding. Both are entirely
worthy of the honor to which they
aspire. Senator Delamater, who
first publicly declared his candidacy,
has made an admirable record in the
Senate, and has shown great apti.
tude for public affairs. He is able
and cultivated, with high executive
talent and signal faculty for organi-
zation. Few men have made so
large an imrpess on party policy or
gained 80 strong position in party
councils in so few years. General
Hastings is widely known and popu-
ar through his conspicuous service
at Johnstown, his commanding
presence and eloquence on the
platform, and his activity in the
National Guard. His capacity and
popular strength are recognized, and
ne most vigorous champion of
Relublicanism.
The party will have worthy and
acceptable candiilte in either. And
there are others VINO must not be
counted out Of consideration. Sec
retary Stone is admirably qualified
sor the Governorship and is not
