The assertion that farming does not pay is refuted by many farmers of to-day who have made a study of their business,have adapted themselves to their conditions, and are putting forth their best efforts to succeed where so many, unwilling to adopt the same habits of industry, fail. A striking proof that success in farming depends more upon the man than anything else is afforded by the case of a young" man who was a stu dent four years ago in the short course in agriculture at the Pennsylvania State College. In a recent conversa tion he remarked that he had left col lege with scarcely a dollar in his pocket and rented a farm of one hun dred and forty acres on halves. In four yearr1 time he has practically cleared himself from debt, and his arm equipment would sell for about three thousand dollars. In other words, he has saved nearly eight hun-1 died dollars a year since he has been farming. Dairying and stock raising, which go very well together and which are well adapted to his conditions and locality, are his specialties. When asked what he thonght of the value of the short course in agriculture, he replied that without having had that course of instruction he could not have accomplished what he had. The above is one of the many ex amples of young men who are suc ceeding in agriculture and who are at tributing a large measure of their suc cess to the instruction they have re ceived at the State College. The demand of the farmers of the State upon the College and Exrkri ment Station is greater now than ever before, and if the "Agricultural Con ference Bill" is passed by the present Legislature it will, by providing suit able and adequate equipment, put the College and Experiment Station in a position to do better and more ef fective work for the farmers of the State than is now possible. WASHINGTON. From our Recular Correspondent. Washington, April 22nd 1901. Denials having been rendered ridiculous by press dispatches from Manila giving names and details, War Department officials now con fess that there have been extensive frauds in the commissary branch of the army in the Philippines, and announce with a flourish of honesty and virtue that an official investiga tion is now being made with a view to the exposure and punishment of all those who have been guilty of wrong-doing. This announcement would have carried more weight with the disinterested public had it not been accompanied by another saying that the conduct of the in Testigation had been placed in the hands of Adjutant General Corbin. General Miles is the commander of the army, and as such should Tiave directed that investigation, and if the truth, and the whole truth, re gardless of whose toes might be trod on, had been sought, it would have been allowed to remain in his hands, where it properly belonged he had proven his fearlessness in uncovering fraud in the embalmed beef cases But if the object of the investigation be to whitewash the guilty officers who have Repub lican political pull, and to make scapegoats of those who have not, the choice of General Corbin to di rect it was wise. He has a record 01 political partisanship never equaled by any holder of a major general's commission in the United States Army, and there have been some radical partisans in the army, too, while General Miles has never been a partisan and is suspected of believing in Democratic principles. Major George B. Davis, one of the officers said to be implicated in the frauds, is now in Washington on sick leave. He has been connected with the commissary branch of the army for several years, and was re garded as General Eagau's right hand man when he was Commissary General. Major Davis was at the War Department last week and was questioned by Commissary General Weston. He denied the charge cabled from Manila that the books of Evans & Co., government con tractors, showed that sums of money had been paid to him and other of ficers ; also that he had any knowl edge of wrong-doing on the part of either officers or contractors, and announced his willingness to return to Manila at once and assist in the investigation. He might be able to render valuable assistance in the whitewashing. Mayor Carter Harrison, of Chi cago, whose third election to that office has caused his name to be more or less talked of in connection with national politics, spent the most of last week in Washington, quietly resting. Asked the blunt question, whether he had any in tention of entering' the national po litical arena, Mr. Harrison replied : "I am not fooling with national politics. It is enough for me now to attend to my duties in Chicago." When asked what the Illinois Leg islature was likely to do, Mr. Har rison said: "The Republicans in that body have done almost nothing outside of a discussion of appor tionment bills. They have a quar rel among themselves over the sub ject, and I should not be surprised it the Legislature adjourned with out passing any measure for appor tionment." That the Philippines must neces sarily be a large and continuous source of expense to the United States has been evident from the day Spain goldbricked us into be coming their owners. A board of naval officers, under orders from Secretary Long, are now engaged in preparing plans for a $5,000,000 naval station, which is to have a $1,000,000 dry dock, at Olongapo, Subig Bay, Luzon. Those plans will have to receive the approval of Congress before they can be carried out. Sen. Cockrell, who was met com ing out of the White House, where he had iust had a talk with Presi dent McKinlev on the subiect. said oi the coming visit to Washington 01 a committee ot the Cuban Con stitutional Convention: "The Cu bans do not apparently fully grasp their status. They are not now a government. They have no power to treat diplomatically with the United States. The present con stitutional convention was called in to being through our agency. It only has power to submit to the United States for approval a plan or constitution for a representative government. If we reject it out right the existing status continues They can do nothing. But if the modifications and conditions which 1 we propose are accepted then they can proceed to organize a represent ative government. And until such 1 a government is organized the j troops of the United States in my opinion, cannot be completely with drawn. I am firmly convinced that the convention, after it hears the re port of the commission which it has sent here, will accept the Piatt amendment. I believe that the members of the commission will learn much of value to Cuba on their visit here, and that soon after their return the constitutional Con vention will take favorable action." Every republican President from Grant to McKinley has had dreauis of establishing a respectable white republican party in the South, but every effort to maice the dream a reality has miserably failed. For that reason President McKinlcy's effort in that line, in South Carolina is more amusing than alarming to Southern democrats. Senator Mc Laurin, who has been for all practi cal purposes an . administration 1 Senator for several years, although ! he only actually withdrew irora the democratic caucus iust before the adjournment of the last session of i Congress, is expected to act as j President McKinley's assistant in picauiu uiiempi to nun wic urtam into a reality. The first open move was the appointment of John G. Capers, a gold democrat, to succeed a republican as United States Dis trict Attorney for South Carolina. The next is awaited with more or less curiosity. The effort among learned men and women to fix a code as to what does and shall constitute a gentle man is likely to result in little more than the effort. For while there are, in general, many characteristics that must be found in a person, be fore he can properly lay claim to the honor of being a gentleman, they are so widely diverging in their nature as to make any set rule impossible. A gentleman might be found in the occupant of the crudest backwoodshut as well as in the cultured, refined college settlements; a gentleman might be found driving a coal wagon, as well as presiding over the lortuues of some great busi ness enterprise; a gentleman miglit be found among the roughest types of long shoremen as well as among the first cabin passengers of the fastest ocean grey-hound. Where ver honor, virtue, courtesy, integrity and respect for the rights of others are found in a human being there can also be found a gentleman; no matter what code may be laid down by the learned men and women who attempt to regulate such things. n Baeung Absolutely touRE Makes the food more delicious and wholesome STONE'S VETO UPHELD. Suprome Court Affirms Legality of School Fund Cut by the Governor. Philadelphia, April 22. The supreme court to-day in an opinion by Justice Mitchell affirmed the decisisn of the common pleas court of Centre county sustaining the right ot the governor to cut down the ap propriation made by the legislature for the support of the public schools. Judge Mescrezat hied a dissenting opinion. This decision was rendered on the appeal taken from the judgment enter ed by Judge Love, in the common p'eas court of Centre county, in favor of the defendant in the case of the at torney general at the relation of Pat ton township against State Treasurer Barnett. This was an application for a mandamus upon the state treasurer to compel him to pay to Patton town ship the proportion of the appropria tion made by the legislature to which the township was entitled for the sup port ot its public schools. The suit was begun because the state treasurer had refused to pay more than the pro portion of the appropriation due it on the basis of the amount fixed by the governor, which was $1,000,000 less than had been appropriated by the legislature. It was contended that the governor, while he might veto an entire item, could not decrease the amount appro priated in that item and approve the item to the extent to which he had fixed the sum. It was further con tended that the Centre county com mon picas court had no jurisdiction in the matter because all suits against the state government or its officials must be brought in the common pleas court of Dauphin county. Judge Love over ruled both of these contentions and refused to grant the mandamus. An appeal was then taken to the supreme court, and on application made to it some twenty-four school districts of Montgomery,counly were permitted to join in the appeal as parties asking for A VILLAGE SINKING.
