Probable Fate of the “Garb” Bill.
The Know Nothing element that
exerts a controlling iofluence in our
state Legislature, and which has pro-
ceeded with a high-hand in pushing
measures of sectarian intolerance, has
been called to a halt on one of its pet
schemes, known as the “Garb” bill.
This measure was intended to antag-
onize citizens who belong to the
Catholic church. With no public
sentiment demanding a change in our
school laws that would bring about a
sectarian restriction, the dark-lantern
influence forced a bill into the Legis-
lature, designed to place limitations
upon Catholic teachers in the way of
dress. No other sect was intended to
be reached, the oath-bound fanatics be-
lieving that they would effect their
exclusion purpose against the church
they intended to proscribe, by pro-
viding in their bill that no teacher
shall wear a dress that would indicate
a religious persuasion. Such intolerant
measures, however, are usually found
to be sharp-edged tools that are dan-
gerous to handle. The dark-lantern gang
find themselves cut where they least
expected it. The Dunkards and Meno-
nites, who habitually wear a dress
indicating their sect, have poured in
their remounstrances against the “Garb’’
bill, tor they see that if it should pass
they would be excluded as school
teachere, or else would have to lay off
their accustomed dress at the com-
mand of Republican Know Nothings.
This bas put such a different com-
plexion upon the intolerant project
that in all probability the party lead-
ers will sneak the “Garb” bill into a
pigeon-hole before the Senate can con-
cur with the House in passing it, where
it will be allowed to die an ignominious
death. But this Legislature will not
escape the disgrace of entertaining a
measure that was intended to enforce
religious intolerance and create sec-
tarian disturbance.
The Massachusetts Legislature
recently sent a committee down Sonth
to inquire into the causes that are
drawing the cotton manufacturing in-
dustry from the eastern to the south.
ern States. They appear to have a
colored member in that Legislature
and he happened to be selected as one
of this committee. The trip turned
out to be a very unhappy episode for
the colored brother, as he was most
contemptuously treated and shamefully
snubbed by his white colleagues, who
used every means to let the unfortunate
black legislator know that they con-
sidered him nothing but a nigger. Such
conduct on the part of these Massa
chusetts Republicans was properly re-
buked by the Democratic Governor of
Virginia, who included the colored
member in the invitation to the dinner
he gave the committee when it stopped
in Richmond, and paid him especial
attention. Nowhere are the colored
people made to suffer more from race
prejudice than.in intensely Republican
Massachusetts.
——The bill for enlarging the force
ard increasing the expense of attend-
ing and supervising the public grounds
and buildings at Harrisburg passed
the Legislature and was promptly
signed by the Governor. One of the
principal objects of the bill was to sup-
ply Captain DELANEY with a lucrative
office, but the A. P, A., which has
been largely running this Legislature,
opposed it because DELANEY was of a
naticanglity and religion that were
obnoxious to them. They saw noth-
ing else involved in the question but
DEeraxey, and he was the son of-a-gun
they were after. They would have de-
feated the bill, but Quay stepped in and
ordered the &Legislature to pass it.
Devaney was useful to him as an
Irish Catholic stool pigeon and he
would not allew him to be turned
down. The boss is more powerful than
the dark lantern fraternity.
——1Itis a happy circumstance that
the liability of the United States gov-
ernment to Italy for the lynching of
Italian subjects by a mob in Colorado,
has been satisfactorily adjusted, to
which consummation the good sense
and action of the Governor of Colorado
greatly constituted. What a fool com-
plication bloody-bridle Waive would
have made of it. This case goes to
show the advantage of electing men ot
gense to the gubernatorial office. A bull
in a china shop is not a more trouble-
some animal that a fool Governor of
which fact there have been recent ex-
emplifications in Colorado and Oregon.

The Religious Garb Bill.
(Continued from page 2.)
Friends and others, from teaching in
the schools of the state—why, it will
exclude William Penn, if permitted to
return to the earth, to teach a public
school on the soil he dedicated to re-
ligious freedom. It will extend further
in its action and exclude every clergy-
man from the officers of teacher, echool
director, county superintendent and
state superintendent of public instruc-
tion, it will close the doors against any
clergyman holding office in state nor-
mal schools, or taking part in or deliv-
ering a lecture at our county institutes
| unless he is arrayed, any way from a
tailor’s dude to the advertising agent
of a menagerie show, or a lewd comedy
troop. But this law is intended to op-
erate against Catholics only.
The others have been wearing their
peculiar garb from time immemorial
without exciting the fears of the patri-
otic orders. Now, I say such a law is
pure and unmitigated persecution and
is designed by its friends for no other
purpose. It is passing a law in order
to persecute in the future persons who
have done no wrong in the past. It is
denying school directors of one district
the right to hire school teachers of
their choice, which is accorded to all
directors throughout the state. Such
alaw will violate the Declaration of
Rights, article 1, section 4, which
reads: “No person who acknowledges
the being of God and a future state of
rewards and punishments shall, on ac-
count of his religious sentiments, be
diequalified to hold any office or place
of trust or profit under this common-
wealth,”
The Sisters acknowledge all this.
Yet because of their garb they must
be excluded from holding any office or
place of trust or profit under the com-
monwealth. No style of dress is pre-
scribed for other teachers in the pub-
lic schools. In the matter of dress all
are free to adopt whatever style of
dress they may choose; the sisters
alone are debarred from the same free-
dom. Their religious dress is a badge
of their profeesion and they wear it
from motives of conscience. To deny
them the right to wear this garb when-
ever they please is denying them the
liberty ot eonscience.
In a word, it is vicious and malicious
legislation, but it will not injure the
Catholic church, and as time rolls on
she will calmly sketch the monumen-
tal folly of the religious garb bill. The
vast body of the American people are
on the side of right and justice. They
form and shape sound public opinion.
The Catholic church in their sight is
no menace to our free institutions, on
the contrary, in her unity they see a
model for national unity ; in her teach-
ing a remedy for all the moral evils
which disturb society and retard the
nation’s progress ; they see the sancti-
ty she fosters by her laws of marriage
in the domestic fireside : the models of
chastity and obedience in ber priest-
hood and religious orders ; her love for
holy poverty in a time when the greed
of mammon enslaves the possessor and
grinds out the life of the sons of toil ;
they see the care she takes to instil in-
to the youthful minds the unadulterat-
ed teaching of Jesus Christ; and they
are gradually learning from the Catho-
lic church that if Christianity is worth
preserving education must be Christian.

Peace is Assured.
Japan will Not Press on to Pekin. The Japanese
Government Afraid to Announce the Change
to the People—An Alliance Formed With Rus-
sia That Will Enable Japan to Bid Defiance to
England.
New York, March 24.—A special
to the Zribune from Yokohoma says:
From an official of the state depart-
ment it is learned that Japan has de-
cided on peace, although military and
naval preparations go on as though
the original plan ot marching on Pe-
kin were still unabandoned.
Both the emperor and Count Ito fear
the effect of any announcement that
the government is willing to grant
peace. The common people are still
insane over the war and they will be
satisfied with nothing short of the
mikado directing terms of peace at
Pekin.
The most important recent occur-
reace here is the alliance between Rus-
sia and Japan.
The terms of this compact cannot be
given definitely, though they are,
broadly, that Russia will not oppose
any cession of Chinese territory to Ja-
pan and that Japan, in retura will per
mit Russia to occupy one Corean port,
with right of way to the territory,
Siberian way and the use of Japanese
dock yards and coaling stations.
If this alliance has been formed, as
good authorities believe, it puts Japan
in a position to defy England and re-
fuse any British suggestion during
peace negotiations.

General Walter W. Greenland died
| at his home here at 10:30 o’clock Satur-
day night. The ex-Attorney General
and former candidate for Secretary of In-
: ternal Affairs has been ill for about three
| months with a valvular trouble of the
heart and a disease of the lungs.
After his Christmas vacation he re-
turned to Harrisburg to finish up his
duties as Adjutant General, and contrac-
ted a cold on the way.
At New Year he was confined to his
room in the hotel. He did not go to his
department at any time thereafter, but |
conducted all the military arrangements |
for the Governor's Inaugural from his
room. He gradually grew worse and on |
inauguration day he was taken to his |
home in Clarion by his brother. i
On March 14 he was so much improv- |
ed that the family and friends took hope
that he would get better, but on Satur-
day last he was worse, and kept grow-
ing weaker until his death. He leaves
a wife and four children. The oldest, |
Walter, is a student at State College.
The funeral took place on Wednesday at
10.30 o'clock there being no military
display, but Gov. Hastings and his staft,
ex-Gov. Pattison and his staff, Hon. W.
U. Hensel, W. Harrity and many other
distinguished men attended. General
Greenland was Past Master of Clarion
Lodge, No. 277, of the Free Masons.
Governor Hastings telegraphed for
Adjutant Stewart on Sunday and on
Monday official notice was taken of
General Greenland’s death in a circular
to the National Guard.
CAREER OF ADJUTANT GENERAL GREEN™
LAND.
Walter W. Greenland was born at
Coatesville, Chester county, Pa., on
January 6,1846. In 1862, when only
16 years of age, he enlisted in the Union
army as a member of the One Hundred
and Twenty-fifth Pennsylvania Volun-
teers. At the battle of Antietam after
one color bearer had been killed and an-
other wounded, the gallant young
Greenland seized the flag and bore it
throughout the remainder of the fight.
For this signal bravery he was thanked
on the field of battle by Col. Higgins,
who commanded the regiment. After
the war he studied civil engineering,
and then moved to Clarion county.
Greenland became superintendent of
several oil companies, and was Prothon-
otary of his county for six years. In
1880 he joined the Sixteenth Regiment
of the Pennsylvania National Guard.
service, and in 1891 he was made Quar-
termaster General on the Governor's
staff. A year later he was appointed
Adjutant General by Governor Pattis-
on, to succeed General McClelland.
General Greenland was conspicuous at
the Homestead riots in the summer of
1892.
The Democratic State Convention on
June 27, last year, nominated General
Greenland for Secretary of Internal Af-
fairs. He was very popular with all
classes with whom he came in contact.

THE CounTY BUILDING BRIDGES. —
The Commissioner’s office in the Court
House has been a roosting place for all
the bridge agents in the country for a
few weeks back. Good cigars and bad
cigars are pressed on the officials and
clerk Robert Hunter has gotten more
gum rattles for his baby than the pos-
terity of that promising cherub wil]
chew up in the next two centuries.
This is not to say that any one is be-
ing led from the narrow path of straight-
forwardness in doing the business ot the
county, but bridge men, as a rule, are
pretty whole-souled fellows and, of
course, on occasions of this sort they are
personifications of prodigality. There
are three bridges to be built in the
county this spring. One over Spring
creek, at the foot of Lamb street, in this
place. It will be a 120 ft. single track
bridge and the contract has just been
let to the Nelson & Buchannan Bridge
Co., of Chambersburg, Pa., for $2,400.
The superstructure is to be delivered by
May 20th. At a meeting of council
Monday night the contract for building
the abutments was awarded to R. Me-
Cafferty & Sons.
The other two bridges to be built are
| each 120 ft. structures over the Moshan-
non creek and in the construction of
| which Clearfield county will bear half |
the expense. One of them will span
i the Moshannon on Presqueisle street in
| Philipsburg where a better bridge has
| long been needed. It will be built by
the joint efforts of Centre and Clearfield
i counties, Philipsburg borough building
one abutment and Chester Hill the
| other.
The third bridge is a joint county
| bridge over the Moshannon about three
| miles above Karthause. It was original-
i ly erected about six years ago and with-
stood all floods until this spring when
an ice gorge behind it carried it off
down the stream and broke it up so bad-
ly as to render its reconstruction next to |
an impossibility.

A Reply to the Philad elphia Press Ed -

The Following is Dr. Geo. W. Atherton’s, Presi.
dent of The Pennsylvania State College, Reply
to an Editorial in the Philadelphia Press, Is-
sue of Thursday Last.- It Was Mailed to the
Press the Next Day,
Stare CorLLEGe, Pa. March 22.—An editorial
in the Press of yesterday undertakes to show
that the bill now pending in the Legislature
to establish free Scholarships in The State Col"
lege ought not to pass. Such an article from
such a source is amazing. It is conceived in
a spirit so different [from that manifested by
the Press when advocating the interests of
Higher Education generally, and contains so
many obvious inaccuracies of statement and
inference, that I must ask space fora reply
under a few separate heads :
1. The Bill does not propose any expendi-
ture whatever “for all time to come,” nor any
specific expenditure for any time. It propos"
es to establish for the’next two years’ one,
Representative, and ten for the State at
large, to be filled by appointment
This is a maximum of 264
Scholarships at a maximum expense of $52,
80000 a year or $105,600.00 for the next ‘wo
years if every Scholarship should be contin.
ually filled—a thing which, in the nature of
the case. could hardly be expected. The ap
propriation for Public Schools for the next two
years is expected to be $11,000,000.00, of which
the maximum amount thus set apart for free
Scholarships would be LESS THAN ONE PER CENT.
No more Scholarships can be filled under the
jaw, until after the next meeting of the Leg-
islature, when, if the system were found not to
work well, it could be modified in any way
that experience might suggest [The Senate
Committee on Education has reduced the
maximum number of scholarship to 177, ata
maximum annual expense of §35,400.]
2. The Bill does not add one dollar to the
‘permanent charges on the State Treasury.”
It merely provides that a certain very small
amount (never exceeding three per cent.) of
whatever the Legislature may appropriate
from time to time for Public Schools, shall be
set apart for the maintenance of Scholarships
for the benefit primarily, of the pupils and
graduates of these schools. To the holders of
Scholarships it remits all College charges of
every kind—tuition fees, incidental fees, shop
and laboratory fees, the free use of text-bookg
and, since the College is required by United
States law to maintain military drill, one full
military uniform, including overcoat, every
two years. The direct money value of these
concessions will be from 875 to $100 a year-
Fifty counties of Pennsylvania are now repre-
sented in the State College, and the effect of
this measure will be to stimulate and vitalize
the public schools throughout the Common-
wealth, since parents in all localities will in-
sist upon having teachers who can prepare
their children to take advantage of the oppor.
tunity thus given for an advanced education.
In view of the widespread conviction that the
large State appropriation is not helping to im.
prove the quality of the Schools as much as ‘it
ought to, I can conceive no method by which a
small portion of the appropriation can be so
wisely and effectively used for that purpose as
the one proposed in this Bill.
This matter was admirably stated by Dr.
Pepper, Ex-Provost of the University of Penn-
sylvania, in an address delivered at the State
College last year when he said :
“Is this the time to advocate, in this audience
of thoughtful men and wornen who know how
hard it is to create taxable yalue—Is this the
proper time to advocate larger—far larger—
appropriations by the State of Pennsylvania
to the cause of highereducation ? My friends,
| it is the most fitting moment in the history of
this Republic to advocate that * * * * If
there is one thing that is coming to be recog-
nized in this State, and in every State in this
i Union, IT IS THE TRUTH THAT HIGHER AND BROAD-
ER EDUCATION, AND THIS AS FREE AND GENERAL AS
IT CAN BE MADE, is the very best thing for our
young men and young women * % % #
Unless we can educate a great body of men
and women in the methods of sober, sound
thinking, and teach them to be true teachers
of the people upon the great questions of so-
cialism, how can we stem the flood of igno-
rance and the tides of passion which will sweep
over this country, as its population increases,
with a voluce and force such as the world has
never had to contend with before? * * =
It seems to me that if we cannot afford to give
to every boy and girl in this Commonwealth a
good grammar school education, and then the
chance of a good high school education, and
then the chance of a good College or Univer-
sity education, we are poor indeed—not only
poor in resources, but poor in ambition, and in
our conceptionof life * * * # J hope the
time is coming when the taxpayers will ap-
prove of the principle that every child of this
community shall have the opportunity to rise
by his or her own efforts from whatever posi-
tion birth and circumstances may assign, to
the acquisition of the highest scientific or lit-
erary attainments, so as to have the chance of
enjoying the honor and emoluments that at-
tend them. Formy own part I can think of
no way in which it would be wiser and more
fruitful to expend a part, and it would require
only a small part of the current revenues of
the State.”
3. The suggested comparison with Cornell
is unfortunate. The writer is either ill in"
formed or disingenuous. He refers to the
State College as “an Institution already the
beneficiary of the State to a large amount in
the grant of substantially as much of the pub-
lic lands as laid the foundation of Cornell Uni-
versity, This grant alone has given every
county in New York free Scholarship in Cor-
nell.”
The Legislature of New York sold the lands
granted to that State, under the act of 1862, to
Ezra Cornell for 60 cents an acre. He agreed
to pay that amount to the State outright, and
then locate the lands, and hold them for an
advance, giving to the University the entire
benefit of that advance, less the cost of mane
agement. He gave an endowment fund of
$500,000 to begin with, besides a site for the
University, and enlisted the co-operation of
wealthy friends, whose combined gifts already
run up into the millions, while the proceeds
for the land grant alone for New York will ex-
ceed $5,000,000. On this basis the University
established one free Scholarship for each As-
sembly District, (not “county”), but the last
two Legislatures of New York, on the ground
that this was putting to heavy a burden on
that wealty Institution, has made large appro.
priations for buildings and equipment for
some of the departments.
The grant to Pennsylvania amounted to 780,=
000 acres, and was sold by a Commission of
State Officers, with the honorable Governor
Curtin at the head, for the trifling sum of 56
31-100 cents an acre. The total proceeds
amonnted to $439,186.80. On the recommenda-
tion of the Surveyor General, the amount was
increased so as to make an even $500,000, and
the College has since been receiving $39,000 as
the income of that United States fund for an,
nual maintenance, while Cornell has an annual
income of $500,000. For the last 15 years the
College has maintained one free Scholarship
for every Senatorial District in the State,
in proportion to its endowment is a
i that, for convenience of distribution, they are
larger number than is provided by Cornell.
4. The mention of the State College as a |
¢*heneficiary” of the State gives a key to the |
misconception which pervades the entire artie
cle as to the relation of the College to the State !
It would be just as correct to call a public .
school a “beneficiary® of the State. The Col-
lege is, on the contrary, merely the agent
through which the State and the United States
have jointly undertaken to give “a liberal and
practical education to the industrial classes’
of Pennsylvania “in the several pursuits and
professions of life.” Its courses of study are
fixed by the act of Congress under the di-
rection of the State Legislature, and the Leg-
islature has pledged the “faith of the State” to
tulfill that trust. The State, accordingly, in
making appropriations to the College is not
giving grants to a private institution, but
simply expressing the measure of what it
proposes to do for higher education as a
branch of the entire system of public instruc.
tion.
5. The remark of the Press that the con-
ditions for obtaining the scholarships “are not
made stringent,’ is an error. Candidates are
required to be fully prepared to enter the
Freshman class, the standard of examination
is to be fixed by the Board of Trustees, to be
uniform throughout the State, and the County
Superintendent, with two others, is to be in
charge of the examinations. The mere fact
assigned to Senatorial and Representative dis-
ricts seems no more to justify the suggestion-
that these scholarships may be improperly us-
ed for ‘‘ patronage,” than does the similar dis.
tribution of West Point and Annapolis ap-
pointments by Congressional districts.
6. The Press declares that it ‘‘would wel-
come a comprehensive plan for (linking our
common school system to the higher educa-
tion in the State University and the State Col-
lege.” What that plan would be I have no
means of knowing. But why should not the
Press give its powerful aid to this first practi-
cal step in that direction? And has not the
time come when the State of Pennsylvania,
throughout its whole system of administra.
tion, should give public support to what is
public and leave to private support what is
private? Very respectfully,
Geo. W. ATHERTON.
