If Clark should, after all, present his certificate of appointment, Senator Chandler, on behalf of the committee, would press the resolution vacating the seat, and would also in- sist upon the reference of the Clark credentials and those of McGinnis to the committee on privileges and cleo tions. There they would be kept under consideration until the adjourn ment of congress, so that there is no hope of action at this session, and therefore no hope of action by this congress, since it would be too late at the short session next winter
 The l5Oth anniversary of the birth of Stephen Girard, which was duly ob- served on May l9 at the famous educational institution which bears his name. and which still fourishes for the benefit of fatherless boys, served to bring out the remarkable fact that, by wise management, the endowment of Girard has grown from s5 000,00O to S26, 6,000000, giving it an tn lae haF H ~ any university in the world. The founder, in his investments for the fu- ture of this college, as in his provision for it's purposes. put his trust in the development of his country. Surplus income from more and more produc- tive mines and real estate adds to its endowment nearly Sl,00O,000 year. As the fund grows the benefaction embraces an enlarging number of pupils. The increase during the early years cared for hundreds in sparse population but it advances as the country fills up. and will take under its fostering care thousands in the fu- ture.
 It is to be noted that nobody was ever suspected of impertinence or de- signs upon our rights or hostility to our commerce until we got our big new navy. and then we discovered that Germany, Russia, France, Eng land, Italy and the whole world were ready to jump on us at any moment and do us deadly harm. Of course, no one is going to infringe upon our rights and no one thinks of attacking our ports or commerce. But We are in imminent danger all the time of mak- ing ourselves so fresh that somebody will feel bound to resent it.-Johns- town Democrat.

THE DOUBLE STANDARD

manipulate the finances of the world
and enslave those who deserve to be
happy, by virtue of honest toll.
Everywhere there is going up a cry
for relief from the thraldom that is
abroad in the land, from the yoke
of Shylock tyranny that is bearing
down upon those whose Drawn has
created the wealth of the world.
Gold recommendation has wrought
a condition that has reduced great
army OF American citizens to a con.
ditlon that has made the heart sick
and caused the true patriots of the
nation to blush with shame at the
appalling spectacle they are called
upon to behold.
The small aggregation of pretend
ers who are clamoring for a single
measure of values and the conse-
quent enslavement of those who
contend for the principles of the
pioneers in the nations eventful

be checked.

the fact that the nations destiny !

country now had the double stand

because of the gold standard, but in
spite of the British measure of values

The laborer will rejoice in the change

As an offset to this kind of expan-
sion it is pleasant to imagine how
our material advancement could
have been aided by less cost in
money, and all the dire effects of
war avoided, and the arts of peace
and the promotion Of all industries
advanced. Factories and machine
shops would be producing tools
and machinery instead Of rifles
and cannon. This agreeable condi-
ton was and is needed today. And
under wise and beneficent national
policy, would have been in progress
now. Simply stated, all this could
have been accomplished by the build

of our great rivers (now running to
waste) over our vast arid domain.

GOVERNMENT LAND LEASES.
