News and Courier must have
noticed how persistent that
Journal is in reproducing every
thing of a disparaging nature
that is written about Senator J.
L. McLaurin, and it also at
tempts to turn every thing posi-
bic to Tillman's credit. If Sena-
tor McLaurin was narrow
minded. resentful and selfish
politician, he would punish Char

Laurin is doing a conscientious
duty for Charleston and the
State. and while it may not be
pleasing to him, he is too broad
to permit himself to be infuenc-
ed by the conduct of a newspa-
per that has had a mercenary
reputation, ever since the days
of that famous letter Damn
principle its money we want. 1"
When the heart of every Char
lestonian should have been glad
on the day the exposition gates
were thrown open, the News &
Courier comes out with what it
designated an "Expositionissue," :"
and in it, there was reproduced,
a long winded anti-McLaurin
editorial from the Greenville
Mountaineer, and several edl-
torial squibs from other news
papers on the same line. Then
in giving credit to whom credit
was due, the statements relating
to Senators Tillman and McLau-
rim were so glaringly unjust that
even some Anti-McLaurin rea-
ders signifed their disgust at
the News & Courier's unfairness.
There is no doubt that Tillman
deserves credit for trying to
help Charleston, but that is no
reason to rob McLaurin of cred
it for succeeding where his col
league failed. In the allusion
to Tillman's special pains is taken
to emphasize Charleston's graft
tude to Tillman. to the extent
that it calls upon the people to
do Tillman's bidding next sum-
mer and, it virtually said of Nc
Laurin, we must take all he will
give US, because it is nothing
but his duty. Notwithstanding
this, McLaurin prepares resolu-
tions for Charleston, and is so
unselfsh that he permits Till
man to gratify his jealous vani-
ty to introduce them, and the
News & Courier to give Tillman
the credit. "Chickens will come
home to roost," but may be the
News & Courier is like our State
Democratic Chairman Willy Jones
who is credited with, in 1890,
after Tillman was elected, when
advised not to join the Tillman
party, as the thing was only
temporary and would soon
change. He replied by saying
''if they change any faster than
me, they will have to be damned
wide awake" Tillman was IN
the saddle, but when the News
& Courier and the State both
attempt to ride with him, the
girth broke, and all three are
scrambling in the mud like so
many swine in a wallow.

been established a new four-year
course. entitled "the course in COM
merce and industry" In this course,
business and the business life are re.
garded not as an occupation but as a
profession with principles that must

adequately performed and with aux

During the past year the university
library has been enlarged and re-cata-
logued, with thorough system Of
cross references.
The year was one of great activity
in the department of archaeology. The
result of last years field work by
Messrs. Furness. Hitler and Harrison
in the Mega Hills. of Assam and OF
Mr.. Culin among the Indian tribes of
the Northwest have enriched the eth
nclogical collections. while that Of
Professor Hilprecht, in Babylonia, has
exceeded those of all previous years
in the extent and value of it's finds,
and in their archaeological Importance.
1t will take many years Of decipher-
ment and collation. TO gather all the
fruits of these Babylonian records; but
Professor Hilprecht Is so expert In
handling the subject of his lfe-work
that, while the excavations and coll
lections are going on, he is able to
determine point after point in the his
tory, the daily life. and the religious
thought of the dwellers by the Eu-
pirates. The contributing member
ship in this department has more than
doubled in the year and the resources
considerably increased.
Notable events of the year were the
opening of the new law school with
impressive ceremonies; the opening of
the new museum of science and art:
and the laying Of the cornerstone OF
the memorial tower and gateway, in
memory of the sons of Pennsylvania
who fought ia the Spanish American
war.
During the year donations from all
sources for university purposes
amounted to $53.15l.39. 1t is interest

CURE FOR THE GRIP.

The New York Press reproduces from the Pop.
ular Science News article on the grip OF
which this is the concluding paragraph:
'The all important thing is for the invaded
person TO institute al once a treatment favor
able to prompt relief and cure. Fortunately
synthetic chemistry has given us remedy in
phenalgin, Which can be absolutely relied upon.
In adult doses of ten grains washed down by a
good hot toddy at night Ito be repeated in an
hour IL necessary, prompt relief to all discom'
forts will be secured. The action of the phenal-
gin is not only to relieve pain and distress, but
to open up the eXcretory organs and correct the
general perversion of secretions as indicated by
the bad taste in the mouth, etc. In the morning,
unless the bowels have sufficiently moved, tea
spoonful two OF sulphate of soda may be given
in a glass of hot water to flush them more thor
oughly. 1t may be well to continue the phenai-
gin in fvegrain doses every three or four hours
tor several days, to be followed later by tonic
composed as follows: Capiscum | grain,
quinine 2 grains and strychnine 1-50 OF gram,
in a pill or capsule three times day"
Those who object to the toddy on conscien-
tious grounds doubtless can secure equal results
by using a hot lemonade.

For q Decent State Capitol.
. r is REPORTED in the Harris
burg correspondence of the

burg correspondence of the
Il Philadelphia Ledger that there
is a disposition among members
of the legislature irrespective of fac
tion or party to assent to the PROPOSE
ton, embodied in bill prepared by Sem
ator Fox of Dauphin county, that the
state capitol building should be COM
pleted at the earliest possible moment
and with an end to the contemplate
factional by-play and pickering which
have hitherto interrupted this neces-
sary result.
The Fox bill appropriates $4,000, 900
to be expended in four years at the
rate of s1,25O,OO0 a year. the details of
expenditure and supervision to be en-
trusted to commission of five per-
sons, including the governor and four
men appointive by him. The commits
sion shall receive no compensation for
its services. but shall be reimbursed
for the actual expenses incurred in
connection with their duties, and any
vacancies occurring in the commission
shall be filled by appointment by the
governor. Immediately upon the ap-
pointment of the commission it shall
| as speedily as possible have drawings
| and specifications prepared and let
contracts for the execution of the
work. The commission may make such
| notifications in the construction of the
building already erected as it NAV
deem advisable, but the building must
provide ample accommodations for the
| executive and departmental branches
| OF the state, as well as the general
assembly. The contracts shall include,
the removal of the two buildings now
occupied by the secretary of internal
affairs and the secretary of agriculture.
and shall provide temporary quarters
for these departments. Contracts shall
go to the lowest responsible bidders.

to the insincerity of those who tried
to play to the grand stand on this
subject. 1t Is the merest shell, barn

specimen of halting enterprise. The

afflicted with the hallucinaton that

4 DECREASE of III in last
~ years attendance at the
4 n University of Pennsylvania
is noted in the provost's
annual report. but it is explained by
the prolongation of the courses and in
crease in the requirements of admis-

cine and dentistry. AS matter of
fact there was during the year an in
crease of rs in the attendance of pupils
from states and territories other than
Pennsylvania, This speaks volumes
for the universty's growing reputation
for efficiency
The most important matter discussed
by Dr. Harrison in relation to the col
lege Is the readjustment of those
courses intended to prepare students
for the study of medicine. This has
been solved in arranging it so that,
under certain conditions, a student
may be senior in the college and a
freshman in the medical school stimuli
taneously, thus enabling man to
take degree in arts or science and
one In medicine after seven years of
study. Certain special courses con-
nected with those in finance and econ

The obligation to give transfers was

fore 1t is to the interest of the faction
which Van Valkenberg and the North
American represent that the Ash
bridge administration should be dis
credited before the people. Recently
there was held in Philadelphia a mass
meeting of citizens before which
Bishop Potter of New York, appeared
that charged Philadelphia with being
the wickedest and worst governed city
in the world. Out of this meeting
grew n committee of distinguished
men who are planning to conduct a
campaign of municipal regeneration.
Back of this honest manifestation of
reform purpose can plainly be seen
the intrigues of cast-off politicians
hungering for reinstatement and re-
venge and It Is necessary to separate
the honest from the dishonest factors
in this campaign of attack upon the
present mayor of Philadelphia in or
der to understand the developments
from day to day.
But, regardless of motives, specific
charges of vice and immortality merit
unsparing investigation and Judge
Finletter has done well to put the
wheels Of justice in motion promptly.

in the North Americans accusations.

vealed. but remedied and those re-
sponsible for 1t punished to the full
extent of the law. On the other hand,

The distinction which comes to Mr..

of the committee to which all labor
