A TRUE PHILANI,HROPLST.

OF all the wise men of this country
who bestowed their riches upon the
people or in institutions for the bene-
fit of the masses, there is none who is
entitled TO more credit than Stephen
Girard, who founded Girard college
and bequeathed thereto sufficient
means with which it will be maintained
for all time. The Oregonian speaking
of this splendid institution says:
The twenty-ninth annual report of
the directors of Philadelphia City
Trusts includes the report rendered on
January l of the current year by the
authorities of Girard college. In &C.
cordsnce with the wise purpose of it's
founder, Girard college limits itself to
che task OF qualifying its students for
success in industrial callings as distin-
guished from the so.called liberal pro.
fessions. Stephen Girard died De-
cember 26, 1881, and left by his will
tract of land on which Girard college
was to be erected and the sum OF So ,OOO,-
600 for building purposes. To the
maintenance of the institution was de-
voted the entire residue of the estate
computed a. the time to be worth
So, $50, 900. This fund has increased to
over S2O,O00,000 exclusive of the col
lege grounds and buildings. By 1S4S,
when the buildings were completed
and the institution was opened, the
annual income lad increased to
S11S, goo, and it is now about 81 ,0O0, 900,
after all deductions have been made
for expenses of collection and for re-
pairs on real estate. The number of
pupils now lodged and taught is 1888.
Boys are admissible, under conditions,
between the ages of six and ten, and
discharged at the age OF 1S, unless en-
ployment has been previously secured
for them.
Under the conditions named in Cir !
ards will, the college was founded to
receive "as many poor white male Or
phans (the word orphan has been con.
strued to mean fatherless child) be-
tween the ages of six to ten years as
the income shall be adequate to main
tain" The will further declares "that
those children that shall merit it shall
remain in the college until they shall
arrive at between IA and
Is years OF sge; they shall then be

WORK is NEEDED.

Congressman Champ Clark in a
speech at Jackson, Miss, recently
said that nothing short of death can
prevent Bryan from being the next
democratic nominee and nothing but
the intervention Of the Almighty will
keep him from being elected" Such
talk sounds we'll coming from the
eloquent lips of Missouri's silver ton
gued congressman, but 1t takes more
than mere talk and eloquence to. land
a presidential candidate these days of
political chicanery and trickery.
Work, earnest, faithful work, backed
by good, common horse sense will do
more to land democratic candidate
in the White House than all the blow
ing from all the stump orators of the
land.
To wrest the reins of government
from the party in power, work of edu-
cation will be required, not windy
orations or repetition of threadbare
arguments. The people must become
convinced that the present custudians
of public affairs are not steering the
ship of state in safe channels, They
must know that change will result
beneficially to the masses; that the
government is not at present con-
Quoted for the good of the people at
large. but in the interest of the favored
few. Unless they are convinced of
this, they will not seek to make a
change next year. The party in
power is rapidly convincing the people
of this fact, but it developes upon
democracy to impress upon the minds
of all that the bread winners of the
land are not getting their just dues.
In other words the democratic party
cannot hope to succeed by asserting
as Mr.. Clark does that Bryan or any
other man will be elected. The reason
of the voter must be appealed to, and
be must be shown where his interests
will be better served by change of

The war against the Fllipinos is un.
popular because of the fact that Ameri-
ans do not approve any move that is
intended to hamper the independence
of people or make them the subjects
of government against their choice,
for it is almost universally believe d
that the right to rule should be by the
consent of the governed. But we are
engaged in war, and since the head
of our government refuses to listen to
overtures for peace. the war must be
maintained, whether right or wrong.
No patriot will consent to seeing our
flag trampled upon or the natlcn dis
honored. Therefore the people sub.
NIT to being taxeu to keep up the war,
although majority are convinced it
never should have been started. The
war must be pushed to final termi-
nation, but there will be reckoning
when the men who are responsible for
it come up for reelection.

Kentucky democrats made all kinds
of fools of themselves when they al
lowed Goebel to run their state con-
vention and nominate ticket to suit
himself, and now they are heaping up
more foolery.by undertaking to run an
Independent ticket which will result
in giving the state government into
the hands of the republicans, which in
the South, means turning things over
to the colored race. Their opportunity
to purify politics was in their state con-
vention, not now to bolt the ticket
nominated and insure the success of
the opposition

The Thirty-fifth regiment, being
formed at Vancouver, is filing up
rapidly, says dispatch from that
place, and then it goes on to state
that 35 officers and 244 men have re-
ported for duty. This is filling up
rapidly indeed. just think of it, pa
men have been secured to fill up a
regiment of 1000 men. This looks just
like the war against the Filipinos was
the most popular job the nation has
ever undertaken. Men are fairly
fiocking in to get chance to butcher
the natives Of the archipelago.

A Sensation In italy.

Rome, Dec. "a great sensation has
been caused throughout Italy by the
trial Of two railroad men on the charge
OF numbering and robbing, in a railroad
car near Palermo, Signor Notarbartolo,
a former director of the Bank of Sicily,
and one of the most notable citizens of
Palermo.
The trial was attended with a num-
ber of dramatic incidents, the murder
ed mans son accusing Signor Palizzelo,
a member of the chamber of deputies
from Palermo. of giving the order for
the murder of Signor Notarbartolo.
As a result of this accusation the
chamber of deputies met to-day in spe-
cial session and authorized the prosecu-
ton of Signor Palizzelo, who was ar
rested in Palermo this evening.

F . SO Decides.
Frankfort, KY, Dec. S.---All pretense
of fight for the certificate of election
as governor has been given up by the
Goebel people, and whether contest
will be made in the Legislature is real
ly yet to be determined. 1t will de
pend very largely upon the wording Of
the opinion which Commissioners Ell
lis and Pryor will hand down at 10
o'clock tomorrow morning. 1t implies
that the commissioners believe fraud was
committed which might invalidate the
election, did they as canvassin8
board have the legal right to go behind
the certified returns, it is almost Ger.
tain that contest will be made 9th
erwise 1t is uncertain
The other Democratic candidates for
the minor offices on the state ticket,
acting on the belief that the commits
sioners' opinion win contain implica-
tons of fraud, have already decided to
fight before the state contesting board
for the positions to which they believe
themselves entitled. They held several
conferences during the day, but it was
not definitely determined until o'clock
in the afternoon to make the contest.
Commissioners Ellis and Pryor were
busy all day writing their opinion, and
1t was dark before Mr.. Ellis. who did
most OF the writing, had finished his
task Neither he nor Judge Pryor made
any denial of the fact that they would
decide that Taylor Is entitled to the
certificate. They would not discuss
the matter, but tacitly admitted 1t was
true.
Commissioners Ellis and Pryor sign
ed the majority report. in which they
held, as a board of canvassers, they
have no right to go behind the returns
OF the county boards, that their duties
are purely ministerial as canyassers,
and that the face Of the returns as re-
ceived by them from the counties show
the election Of the Republican state
ticket.
Accordingly. the report says. certi-
ticates Of election We're ordered issued
to each candidate thereon Commis-
sioner Poyntz presents minority re-
port, which he closes by saying:

London, Dec. General Forester
Walker has sent the following dis
patch, dated at o'clock last (Friday)
evening, to the war office from Cape
Town:
Telegraph and railway communi-
cation to Modder river has been re-
opened. A battery Of field artillery and
a battalion Of infantry were dis
patched from Modder river against
Oommandant Prinz Loos' force of l.
coo Beers, with one gun, who had de-
stroyed the railway. Our losses were
fourteen in wounded.
Belmont has been strengthened by
infantry and two guns, and a cavalry
regiment and troops from Naaupoort
occupied Arundel Thursday.
Some interesting light Is thrown on
the position of affairs along the west
ern frontier by dispatch issued by a
Boer agency last evening in Berlin
The dispatch says:
"Commandant Prinz Loos' force is
near Jacobsdal, between Modder riv-
er and Riet river. General CronJe Is
still on north bank of Modder river,
his rear being protected by fortified
positions at Spyfontein. The hills be-
tween Modder river and Spyfontein
and those between Jacobsdal and Riet
river are occupied by Beers. Com
mandant Delarey's force is stationed
between Gras Pan and Honey Nest
Kloof."
II this Berlin dispatch be correct
and 1t is especially significant when
judged in connection with General
Forester Walkers advices to the war
office-there must be some 1900 Beers
around Lord Methuen. who is believed
to have 11,0OO men. Kimberley, how
ever, possessing an armored train, can
materially assist Methuen by harrass-
ing the Beers from the rear.
