THE p,Ncuor PARTY.

There has been some talk Of run
ming Pinchot for Governor of New
York. Only little while ago he was
proposed as the Republican candidate
for Governor of Pennsylvania. We
do not think he would run well in
either state. What he ought to do Is
to set up an independent republic of
his own with Garfield as Secretary OF
State and CLAWS at the head of his
Department Of the Interior and Kerby
as his private secretary. The rest of
the outfit could very readily be OBJ
tanned from the Insurgent forces in
the Congress.
Since Pinchot left the service Mr..
Taft has rescued something like H.
100000 acres of coal lands for the

Attorney General Wickersham in be-
half of Col John s. Mosby.& AS Was
stated In the Gazette of Saturday, so
soon as Judge Keith learned that tho

Mosby's resignation OF the position re

letter to the Attorney General asking
him to reconsider the matter and with

Mosby have not been politically affili-

little reason to expect proffered aid
from such quarter but Judge Keith,

YALE's HEST AssEr-A MAN.

Arson Phelps Stokes, Jr., is his
name. He Is u clergyman by calling,
a doctor of divinity, an educated,
high-sprung, high strung gentleman,
a model citizen and long headed man
of business. He Is the Secretary of
the University, and to what the New
Haven TimesLeader calls his "friend-
ship. loyalty and far-seeIng action"
Is that institution indebted for much
of it's present activity. DR.. I1ndley,
the actual. as we'll as titular. head
of the school, has borne agreeable
testimony to the effectiveness OF Dr.
Stokes's work. Five years ago the
finances of the University were in a
critical state. The enrolment Of
students was satisfactory; but. with
an increase OF 80 per cent. in at
tendance. there was an increase Of
only per cent. in income. DR..
Stokes submitted a plan for increas-
ing the endowment by $4,000, 900.
Some persons who did not know him
thought that the scheme was not prac-
ticable: but DR.. Stokes Kept on
ploughing." as the saying goes. and
the additional endowment for which
he planned. not to say plotted, has
been secured. with the result that ad-
vances for income and for realty buy
ing of nearly 100000 have been ex-
tinguished, unproductive realty has
been reduced from 100000 to $4,000,
salary payments have been increased
20 per cent. and the income for the
library raised from $4,000 to s70,ooo
That is record of which the friends
of the University have reason to be
proud

CHAMP CLARK AT HOME.


Champ Clark returned to his home
in Bowling Green, Missouri, last week,
and was given great reception by
his friends and neighbors without re-
gard to political lines or Affiliations.
For the time, all differences of opinion
were forgotten in the desire Of his
neighbors to pay their most distin-
guished fellow-cit the honor due
him. He made a fine speech, heart
to-heart talk He RETAINED from the
discussion of partisan questions. He
was simply glad to be back among his
neighbors once more, and he thanked
them all for the delightful reception
they had arranged for him. One pass
age of his speech was particularly
affecting and effective. as follows:
when Sir Walter Scott was on his
deathbed he turned to his beloved som
in-law. Lockhart, and said: BE a
good man. When man is elected to
public office, which should be in all
cases regarded as a sacred trust, he
should resolve, above all things, to be
a good man. That have tried to be,
