The Philadelphia and Reading Rail-
road Company has, for the third time,
passed from under the control of its
stockholders, and into the hands Of re-
ceivers. The story of their failure is
practically the same old story Of every
other failure. Namely-the carrying
Of too great a capital for the amount Of
business done, taking false and mis-
leading steps in the way Of extensive
improvements and expensive acquisi-
tions, and borrowing money to pay in
terest. 1t is to be hoped that their
collapse is not lrremediable, and that
if the company reorganizes it will be
on more sound basis. One of the first
acts of the receivers was to announce
that all wages would be paid in cash.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S, 1893.
The President is as proud of the legis-
lation which placed the finest ocean
steamships in the world under the
American flag as of any single accom-
piishment of his administration, and in
private car went over to New York
on the 22nd-6tting day for such
a deed-in order to raise with his own
hands the stars and stripes over the
magnificent steamship New York.
President Harrison was accompanied
from Washington by his entire Cabi..
net and a number of prominent
Congresmen and other officials. The
United States cruiser Chicago, now
in New York harbor, fired the National
salute of twenty-one guns, as ''old
glory" reached the masthead of the

Here is one reason for Judge Ores
hams having voted the Democratic
ticket: Just before Justice Brown was
appointed 0 the U. S. Supreme Court,
a deleg tion of Chicago lawyers came
to Washington to urge the President
to nominate Judge Gresham to the
vacancy; they told him how magnani-
nous such nomination would be, and
gave him to understand hat they were
here with Judge Gresbam's knowledge
and consent. The President heard all
they had % say and then told them
there were two reasons, either
sufficient, why he would not nomi-
nate Judge Gresham. First. the
appointment did not belong to the Sec
tion in which Judge Gresham lived !;
second, he would not put himself in
the position to give people the right to
say that he had sed one of the highest
appointments in his gift to placate a
personal enemy. II was this refusal
that determined Judge Gresham to
withdraw from the Republican party.
How he coquetted with the Populist
Presidential nomination and finally an
noInced his intention to vote the
Democratic ticket is known to all
newspaper readers.
Democrats regard Mr.. Clevelan nd's

The Democrats in the House tried to
cripple the Federal supervision of Con-
gressional elections by attaching an
amendment to the Sundry Civil Appro-
priation bill, prohibiting the payment
of any expenses incurred by prosecution
under the laws relating to the election
of members of congress. The Senate
promptly struck out the amendment as
soon as the bill was taken up. The
gentlemen who are so anxious to put a
stop to federal supervision of elections
will have to wait until the next Con-
gress gets together; this Senate will not
sanction any of their schemes, no mat
ter how cleverly they may be disguised.
The pension laws will not be turned
upside down at this session of Con-
sgress, aI5hough there was strqng ef-
fort towards that end made by the
anti-soldier Democrats, resulting in
three-minute free fight on the floor of
the House.
1t is significant that Representative
Compton, of Maryland, who is prob
ably closer to Senator German politic-
ally than any man living. should be the
most outspoken man in Congress
agains the selections already made for

joking Compton, said to him: ''If you

suit. They tortured the physical be-
ing in the vain hope Of purifying the
spiritual nature The mental, moral
and physical natures must be cult
vated and developed. There has
been but one answer that seemed to
approach perfection. 1t was given
about eighteen hundred years ago.
Under it has arisen civilization SUI
perlor to any other the world has ever
known. 1t has broken the shackles
from the slaves of superstition. It
has lessened the frequency and also
the horrors Of war. 1t has filed the
land with schools and colleges. This
civilization has raised woman from a
condition as low as the beast of bur-
den and made her the loved friend
and honored companion of man.
The formula for this solution is
Whatsoever things are honest, what
soever things are just, whatsoever
things are pure, whatsoever things
are lovely, whatsoever things are of
good report; if there be virtue, If
there be any praise think on these
things"

peaceful neutrality Of the country
when the clamor Of the people was
wickedly crying for war.
Some nations have called her sons
great for the glitter of gold. Some
because of deeds of valor Some for
shrewd craftsmanship. Others for
ability to slaughter an offending peo-
pie, But the highest tribute ever
paid to mortal man was when an IN
telligent people called the father of
their country, first in peace, first in
war, and first in the hearts of his
countrymen.

May Remove Some Of Them

The boards of regents Of the state
university made several changes at
the institution while in session there
this week and it is not at all improba-
BILE that some members of the faculty
may lose their jobs before the end of
the year.
Certain members Of the board are
of the opinion that there are few
professors who are too radical in their
political beliefs and who are eager at
all times to show up" the present
administration and perhaps take too
much interest in it to be occupying
positions which are created by the
state.
The board does not believe in
changing positions with their lustruc-
tors all the time, and when they get a
good man like to keep him, but it is
their belief that if politics should not
govern them it ought not to be dealt
in to any great extent by the teach
ers.
A committee was also appointed by
the board to thoroughly investigate
the workings Of the institution and
the duties of each teacher. There
has been some complaint made that
certain members Of the faculty did
not have enough work to do to war
rant their service another year. The
board thought that perhaps some fea.
lures Of the work of the institution
might DO encouraged.
Superintendent of Grounds Brlce
was removed and Wheeler elected to
succeed him.
John Watts was elected as superin-
tendent of the erectlon of tho Spooner
library building, and a contract was
entered into with Howell & Van
Brunt, architects, of Kansas City, for
plans for the new structure.
"Ihe present school year has been
a very successful one" said Senator
Rodgers, a member of the board Of
regents, "apd the institution Is one Of
the strongest in the west. The I'M
provements thst are to be made this
year will add greatly to the facilities
for the work Of the school, and they
are improvements that have been
needed for a long time. A larger at
tendance than ever before is expected
next year."-TopeEd Press.
