of the Successor OF
George W. Childs.

Phil ADFI PHIA Feb l3--Ihe Ledger IN
its editorial columns says; me fuollc
Ledger, founded in 1885 and OF which |
George W. Childs was editor ana proprl-
etor from Dec. 3, 1854, to Feb' - 1871,
passes, by reason of his so universally
lamented death, and in consonance with
an agreement entered into during the life
time of each by Mr. Childs and his friend
and partner Anthony j. DreXel, under
the absolute ownership of the DreXel es-
tate, and the editorial and business man
agement of George w. Childs DreXel,
whose name appears at the head of this
column as editor and publisher. The
formal announcement of this complete |
change of proprietorship and directapn of /
the Public Ledger makes necessary the /
statement that it involves no change in /
the character of this journal, as its char
acter was created and maintained by that /
wise, just man, who for 80 years of unre-
mitting energy and sagacity wrought in |
high principles, good conscience and un-
selfish public spirit to render the Public |
Ledger worthy the confidence, respect
and support of popular intelligence and
virtue. That Mr.. Childs succeeded in
doing this is testified to by the e,;traor-
dinarily long continued and existing
prosperity of the Ledger, the general
esteem in which it Is held, the wholesome
influence it exerts, and the respect enter
tanned for it by its contemporaries.
Governorship of Ohio Next Year and
Then the Presidency,
CLEVELAND, o., Feb IA special to
the World dated Columbus o., from a
very close personal friend of Ex-Governor
Campbell, and who is also an ex-state
official, states that, notwithstand-
ing his declaration that he is out of poll
tics, the ex-governor is now intending to
secure, if possible, the democratic nomi-
nation for governor in 1895. The facts
seem to indicate that this arrangement
had been made with President Cleveland
and probably also with Senator Brice 1t
is stated that several very wealthy demo
Gratis of Ohio have expressed a willingness
to furnish the ex-governor all the money
necessary to carry on his campaign. 1t is
stated that Mr.. Campbell declined to ac-
cept place in Mr.. Clevelands cabinet
with this course In view and that the OBJ
ject is to make the election to the COVER
norship stepping stone to the nomina-
tion for the presidency which will come
the year after. The report from Wash
ington that Ex-Governor Campbell will be
nominated to congress to succeed Houk
is discredited here
Studies in Athletics.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, Feb. 12.-Dr ].
w. Seaver, associate director of the Yale
gymnasium, has given out table of
statistics compiled from the examinations
of atheletics during the past few years.
He reached definite conclusions regarding
the development obtained by baseball
football and aquatic training He finds
that in general satisfactory and symmetri-
cal physical development is obtained bv
training for the crew or football eleven,
but that baseball training results gener-
ally in unsymmetrical and irregular deyel-
opment. His table of statistics shows
that comparatively few of the muscles
are normally developed by baseball prac-
tice and establishes the conclusion that
for all-round development baseball train
ing is not desirable
