MANUAL TRAINING FOR ORPHANS.

The report of the special Committee on
Manual Training was yesterday submitted
to and unanimously adopted by the Sol
diers' Orphans Schools Commission. The
report states that three schools now sup
port 512 children at per capita cost of
s14O per annum. That there should be
so many soldiers orphans children
under 16 years of age 80 years
after the war is somewhat surpris-
ing, but it seems that there are still more
applications coming in. The proposition
of the committee is that the three schools
be maintained as preparatory institutions
to Manual Training School to be estab-
lished. 1t is suggested that the three
schools be made to maintain 750 children
at $40 per capita and the Manual Train
ing School $50 ata per capita of $500 year.
The preference is to be given to soldiers
orphans, and after that the vacancies are
to be filled by selections of INDECENT and
destitute children from various sections of
the State. Gradually it is expected that
the Manual Training School would absorb
the preparatory branches with resultant
diminution of expense.
There is no doubt that manual ira lining
would be an excellent thing in educating
orphans to earn their own living. The
proposal, judged as whole with reserva-
tions made for criticisms of its details
when the bill reaches the Legislature, out
lines the establishment of what should be
very useful charitable institution for
the State. 1t is clear that the number of
soldiers orphans must continually de-
crease, and the State will be doing well
to provide means for teaching other desti-
tute children. Such an institution, prop
erly maintained, would be profitable in
vestment of any funds the State can
spare, by its tendency to lessen pauperism
snd crime in turning out boys and girls
well qualified to make an honest living
who would have poor chance to make
their way in the world otherwise.

A PIECE OLE IMPupENCE.

Steamship companies have been making
q loud-,ored declaration that no more
steerage passengers will be carried, as the
20 davs' quarantine deprives them of all

their loss in this direction involves fewer
beats and higher prices for the aceommo-

has been a suspicion of threatening in the
manner Of the announcement, hut the
country has borne it with wonderful

These dreadful thincs, however, are not
TO happen at once, and in some quarters
there is an evident inclination TO make the

an entirely secondary and unimportant
consideration. But valuable franchises
have been conferred by the city, and that
conference entails some regard for
patrons, even though it be but of an incl
dental nature. How the public is going
to force the corporations to think at all of
its claim to decent treatment is not, how
ever, very clear. Individual growls and
complaints are a mere waste of breath.
The only hope of redress lies in strong
concerted action on the part of the
afflicted, ard even the aggregate pressure
to be brought to bear thereby is by no
means certain of success. The traction
companies have a monopoly at present,
and until new competition is obtainable
they can and are likely to keep their hands
in their pockets and ask their ill-used
passengers: "What are you going to do

stend setting forth their in ndividual infantiie
Christmastide wishes and needs. The utter
ances were the children's own, and were
not in any case suggested by our represen-
tative. They tell their own story and need
no elaboration from u.s.
That they have struck responsive chora
in many charitable hearts is evidenced by
several letters that The DISPATCH mas re-
ceived on this subject. and one lady whose
name appears below has expressed her SYM
pathy in the practical way that sympathy
should be expressed, and is most valuable.
THE DISPATCH supplements this lady's con-
tribution by its own check for $50. and
calls upon all who have been blessed
WITH more of this worlds goods and cheer
than have these little ones to assist in max
ing Christmas for them as happy as their
own.
THE DISPATCH will see that these children's
needs are supplied, and that Santa Claus
shall be no mere name to them, but prac-
tical entity. A hall will be hired at Home
stead, q well supplied Christmas tree will be
furnished, and each little tots wishes shall
be, as nearly as may be, satisfied.
There are thousands of charitable hearts
in our midst who will, without doubt. coop

edged in these columns from day to day.

that there are people in this country who
recornize greatness even when it Is found

to Offset the ridicule cast upon the British

Cleveland's Plurality in His Own State Is

ALBANY, n. Y, Dec 15.-The State Board of
Canvassers met at 2:40 o'clock this after
noon. Attorney General Rosendale was alb
sent on official business. The other mem
bers of the board, Comptroller Campbell,
State Treasurer Danforth, State Engineer
Schenck and Secretary OF State Roy, were
present. Under the new law the board had
simply to canvass the total vote cast for
each elector by counties.
The vote for electors shows: Democratic,
highest, John Lang, 6549cs: Democratic,
lowest, Richard Croker. 654.s35. Republican,
highest, Frederick =. Morris, 6U9, 459: Repub-
lican, lowest, Paul Tuckerman, 6O9,252. Pro-
hibition, highest. S. W. Mason, IS. 1913; Pro-
hibition, lowest, Daniel 3. Sill, Is, l73 lcial-
istic Labor, highest, Samuel jacobson, Il. .91S;
Socialistic Labor. lowest, Erastus Pellenz,
1883. Peoples, highest l6,430; Peoples,
lowest, l6 426. Four electors ON the Peoples
party ticket each received 16, 430 and three
each received l6 42S. The board declared
that all OF the Democratic electors were
duly elected, as shown by the certified re-
turns filed. The plurality for the Demo
cratic elector who received the highest vote
over the largest vote cast for any Republi-
can elector was therefore 45,449, which was
the highest plurality cast ior the Demo-
cratic candidates Tor President and Vice
President through the electors. The total
vote cast for all the electors was 4S, l5S, 526.

AN INSTRUCTIVE INCIDENT.

A drunken Pinkerton watchman mar
rowly escaped lynehing in Chicago on
Wednesday night. Exhilarated by an over
dose of liquor, he presumed on his
authority" as an "0ficer" to arrest a
man elected from a restaurant on the
charge of refusing TO pay for his supper.
He escaped an angry mob, thanks to the
timely assistance of policeman. The
danger he had escaped was apparently
without warning for him. For, having
distanced his pursuers, he made an at
tempt to arrest women walking along the
street. Again he fell into the hands of a
crowd, and this time his uniform, coat and
cap were torn from him. His immunity
from serious personal injury-not to say
the preservation of his life-was due here
solely to the advice of the cooler headed
among his captOrs.
Such is the story sent cut from Chicago
and it is highly significant of the disfavor
in which the Plnkerton organization is
held. 1t is safe to assume that the mans
drunkenness and ill-behavior were not the
sole cause of the passions aroused. Un-
uniformed citizens when they molest a
man or insult woman upon the street do
not as q rule excite mob violence. They
are either promptly suppressed by on
lockers or held and handed over to the
nearest policeman. 1t is the badge of
this mans Office and his masquerading as
a servant of the law that caused the seri-
Gus trouble. It would be unfair to assume
from this example alone that too much
careicssness is used in the selection of the
employees of the Pinkerton agency Even
members of the regular police force have
been known upon occasion to get intoxi-
Gated and make display of over-officious-
ness, or even brutality. But this incident
exemplifes the fact that there is in the
public mind q deep-rooted contempt and

not going unanswered. Throu ghout Chris
tendon the Christmas festival brings light
and cheer to oil, but most OF all to the little

with suitable remembrances for the chill
dren at Homestead is o matter requiring no
great expenditure nor much laoorious
effort All the more reason why others
should follow the example OF the charitable
lady whose appreciatfve letter with a sub
stantial enclosure for the purpose yesterday
reached The DISPATCH and is this morning
printed in another column. Santa Claus
will see that donations are duly applied to
making the festival q cheerful one for the
thousand and more children who otherwise
would be disappointed.
