That Impression appear' te hnvc been established In the mind of (Jeverntir Edwards.

It Is net often that politics ind murder mysteries become Involved. Hut something of the sort nppears te have happened in New Jersey, Gossip in the northern part of the State Is bnsed upon the assumption that "powerful political Interests" hae Intervened te bring the case of the Hall Mllls murder te an Indefinite end and te privent any further airing of scandals that may have preceded It. Dominant Interests In the New Hrunswick area are ltepubliran and Geerner Edwards is n Democrat. Tills does net mean that the Governer Is at tempting te make political capital e it of a domestic scandal and the t raged te which It led. Hut it does mean that the Statp police will net he !cs energetic because of the peculiar political circumstances of the mystery that they are called upon te solve. It ought te surprise no one if the sec ondary sensation at New Hrunswick is as great as the first one. It already K clear that persistent but rather clumsy efforts have been made te conceal extreme im portant underpins facts of a sort ! which police and detectives and, tinall, courts and juries are ordinarily guided.

HAVE WE A JOHN WELSH FOR SESQUI-CENTENNIAL? Success of Exhibition of 1876 Was LnrRcly Due te Public Confidence In spired by His Financial Leadership JOHN WANAMAKKK'S recent statement that the sue ss of the Centinnlal Exhi bition of 187(t was ver.v largelv due te the work of Jehn Welsh has revived lntciet In a mm who was once one of the most nota ble figures in the life of Philadelphia Mr. Welsh was a banker and wns n rich man, as riches were considered in these da.vs, though he was prebabl net a mil lionaire bv an.v means. Mr. Wanatn.ikci'i statement that the Centennial was made possible through the work of Mr. Welsh might well have been amended te sa that it was made possible by the chniacter of Mr. Welsh even mere than bv his work. He was a man whose whole business and private life was founded en a perfeetl plain understanding of the value of heiiestv, frugality nnd thiift. At the same time he reiegmcd the paiameunt duty of ever.v successful man te de all that was in his power for these who were net able te achieve se much success. Perhaps the whole seciet nf Jehn Welsh's success with the (Vntinni.il lav in the fact tint his previous public activities bad wen for him the absolute confidence of all the people of Phlladelphli , Inaln of ,,c people in ether parts of the ceuntr.v vvlie.e business activities had brought them in con tact with him. He had alvvajs steed out as a man who considered It a ptivilcge rather than a dut.v te promote meviments that were for the public welfare. His was a guiding voice in the deliberations (,f the Sinking Pund Commission and In the affairs of the Heard of Trade. Te hlni and hi unselfish activities was ver.v largel.v due the splendid result el the Sanitarj Pair held in Philadelphia te help the wounded and dlsticsscd sc.!di,.rs f the Civil War. His genet eus method of handling the crisis which almost lest the Pan mount p.,rk project te Phllatlelpl li, ns t e.ucd In another column en this pige tmlav. is t.v plea I of his genius j accomplish Ins things personally when eidinai.v mm mittees and beards and iemmilnns seetac d powerless and lacking in the Initiative ind leseutces nuessar.v te attain the den,., j end. When Jehn Welsh accepted the chair manship of the lieatil of I "Inanie for the Centennial Exhibition the whole i inject at enie appeared te the p. eple of Phlladelphli as something concrete and admirable sud denly brought out of the mae of things inchoate and questionable Mr. Welsh's flaiacter alone v as siiffii lent te hrin this about; his work merelv lent taciimntuin te a force which his charatter started The widespread response. vf ht first ap pr.il for popular subscriptions te tinn.ice the Centinnlal Pair was sullident evidence of this. Without qiictlen, the leaders of everv form of Industiial and professional life in this citv tallied te his support ami worked faithfully and hard te eirtr out the plans which he made It was sufficient te them te knew that Jehn Welsh nid that it was geed. That made it geed and they acted according!. The panic of 17.", was meugh te kill nnv nevrmeiit sponsored In a man who had lesc of the public confidence than Jehn Welsh It "as a disastrous thing for every man, .vemin and child in the country. And most thoughts were se bus with the prob lem of earning enough te keep the home tegitlur that It was little short of mar velous that Mr. Welsh was nli'e te keep the Centennial project alive In spite of the gi neral public Jeprss!en The sponsors of the present movement for the Sesfiul-Ceiitennial Exhibition for fer tun'itelv are firing no such financial con ditions as there wire priet te the opening of the fair of 17(1 There is nothing in the life of Ph'ladilphm or In the I'nlted Stntes today that could be considered an lnsur lnsur nieuiuable obstacle providing some mch leader as Jehn Welsh can he found What we need tedii.v is net meidv further organization and continued publicit se much as a man whose naiiie can Inspire the united support that came te Jehn Welsh Have we such a man' DEFERENCE DUE TO US IN THE Northwest, Interest In the impo sition which the Citv of Pettland, Ore., lias been planning te held in l!H.'."i is known te be kien. The enthusiasm aroused has, however, evidentlv failed te blind backers of the project te the intrinsic significance of n fitting celebration of 150 cars of national Independence, The letter addressed by w. J Heffman, (dlter of that rxcellmt newspiper, the Portland Oregeiiian, te W. Preiland Ken elrlcl; unmistakably Implies that Philadel phia hns a prier claim upon public attention throughout the rnuutrj. The ipustlen of postponing the Portland fair in eider te preserve for the Sesiul-Centennlal its due of piemlnence has been raised. (iterge L. linker, Maer of Portland, is anxious te learn something definite of Phila dolphin's Intentions, since Oregon voters will be nskeel te decide this November whether $.'1,000,000 shall be raised by taxation for the already thriving enterprise te signalize progress In the Pacific Northwest. These inquiries suggest at least a partial answer te a question which Philadelnhlans hava been propounding; What does the gen EVENING PUBLIC LEDGERPHlEAlELPHlA" MONDAY, OOTOBEB 2. eral public knew of the xverld fair and Is It Inclined te esteem highly the historical values of the movement? It seems that Oregon understands that the anniveisary of an 'epochal event Is worth recognition. Ne publicity campaign Is re sponsible for this deference thousands of miles from the birthplace of American Inde pendence. What is apparent is the funda mental meaning of the retl-lettcr date. This is an asset which has net been fully appreciated in this community, but It con tains a command which will be increasingly dltlictilt te repudiate ns the anniversary year draws nearer and nearer. THE PEOPLE WON CONDITIONS in New Yerk ere gratify ing te these who have confidence In the political wisdom of the people. They prove once mere that when an Issue is squarely drawn the people will decide right. The great mass of the Republican voters desired the renoinlnntlen of Governer Miller and the great mass of the Democratic veteis favored the nomination of former Governer Albert E. Smith. Governer Miller announced before the nominating convention met that lie would he willing te become a candidate te succeed himself only If the candidates for the ether State offices were In sympathy with his program, but that if candidates of nny ether kind were i hesen he would decline a renominatlen if It were made. The Republican organization leaders, who vvete aware of the popular strength of the Governer, found themselves compelled te ield te his wishes. The candidates for the ether executive offices nre pledged te co ce co epeiate with him In carr.vlng out his pto pte gram for putting- the business of the State en a business basis, for weeding out the superfluous jobs and for economies nil along the line. The leadership of Governer Miller is nd mitted, and when he is re elected the head of the Republican Pnrtv in the State will sit In the Governer's office in the Capitel at A I ha n.v 'I he nomination of former Governer Smith bv the Democrats him made Smith the Democratic leader of the State. The dele gates te the lonvcntlen wanted him as their candidate Muiph. the Tnmninny boss, knowing his perseml popularity, was will ing that he should he selec ted, but Murphy also was willing that William Randelph lienrst should be en the same ticket as a landldate ler the nltcd States Senate. Smith, hewevei. refused persistently te be n candidate en the sum,, ticket with Hearst. Smith was se stmng with the delegates that Murph did net date disieg.ird him. Hearst perceived what was piiug en and formally withdrew hi fore the nominating session of the lonvctitien was ( ailed te order. Then Smith was nominated unanimous!. He had beaten Heatst and Murphv ami H.vlm and hid usemd his p.nt.v from lontie'l b.v Ile.itst. Men of all parties can cengiatiilate him en his exhibition of dcti iiiilnatien and can congratulate his pa it en its acceptance of Ids judgmmt en the ceuisy te pursue in dealing with Hurst. Whatever the outcome of the election may be, New .erk is mtiiiii of having a callable ami honest man in the Governer's chnlr. There ought te he no doubt, hew ever, of the re-chctien of Governer Miller. The things which he has done ncedul doing while Smith was Governer, bit Smith neg lected his oppeitunitles. Governer Miller has dune tlum. On Ills record in the Gov Gov ereor's office he H far u.me cbsining of popular support than Smith His task Is net luniplrtcd.

JOHN WELS.H DOMINANT FIGURE OF CENTENNIAL Head of Finance Beard Faced Great Obstacles nnd Had te Carry Exhibi tion Project Through Disastrous Panic of '73 IX DISCUSSING the problems confronting the bnckers of the Sesqiil-Centenninl Ex hibition. Jehn Waiiatunker recently madn the declaration that without the work of Jehn Welsh the great Centenntnl Exhibition held here in 187(1 would probably have been Impossible. His remarks were caused bv an old photograph of the members of the Heard of Pittance, who carried the burden of all the preparation for the Centennial and who faced conditions far worse than any that confient us today. Mr. Wanatntikcr Is the only surviving member of that Heard of Pinnncc of which Jehn 'Welsh wns chairman. In the dajs immediately following the Civil War Phila delphia had few business men who inspired the confidence ami respect of all classes of people as Jehn Welsh did. He was net a public man, using that term in its leferencc te activity in politics, but he wns n very public-spirited man. IT IS net etil.v for the Centennial that Philadelphia of today should icmember Jehn Welsh. Ills work there undoubtedly brought him mere fame than nnj thing else lie did. but one net of his has had a mere Instlng value, though it is an act that Is leinenibciecl bv ver.v few This was his part In establishing Pnlrmnunt Park ns the great est pln.vgieuiid for the public in the country. Seme time before the Centennial was thought of the gtcat Pratt estate, which covered all of what we new knew of ns Lemen Hill, wns put up for sale. There were some tentative suggestions that this estate should be bought by the city and be turned into a public pnrk. and Jehn Welsh nt once approved nf this suggestion and tried te have it can led out. The project fell through, however, owing te a lack of general public interest, but Welsh was se convinced that it was the ptoper thing te ele that he bought the estate himelf for .?.')00,(li)0 and said that he would held it until Philadelphia realized that ,it should have some pin; ground for Its citizens. Mr. Welsh held the estate for several .vears, ami m the meantime these who were interested continued te stir up public opin ion until theie was enough popular demand tei make the citv authetities take action. Then when a definite move was made for the establishment of tbe pails Mr. Welsh sold the Lemen Hill estate te the cit.v for exaetl.v what he paid for H without taking advantage of its Use in value meanwhile. THE Welshes vvcie a fine old banking fami in this eit.v. and in the da.vs of Jehn Welsh the house was known as S. W. WeNli. Jehn Welsh at that time lived .at the southeast cettier of Eleventh and Spruce streets, and for niinv sears was nil active vcsti.vm.in in Old St. Peter's Church when Iiishep White-, the first Pietestnnt Episcnpil HMiep in Peniisvlvnni.a, was lec tor. His biethcr, Samuel Welsh, was also a vesti.vman theie, and these two members of the famllv vvete noted for the philan thropic work thev did m connection with the church, while the ether brothel. William, was eepiall.v prominent for his interest in Gliaid College. When the project for the Centennial Ex hibition was first htciaihcd it met with plenty of pi niile who believed that the scheme should be caiiicd thieugh, but vel few of them weie willing te undertake the details and nobedv seemed te have any idea of bow the neeessarv money should be laiseel. The idea was enl.v an uli.i until Jehn Welsh wns peiMiided le join the Pinance Committee and incept the chairmanship of it. IT WAS Mr. Welsh who put thieugh the tremendous lob nf organizing a nation wide mm hluc for Uic selling, of stock at SIO per -li in te people all ever the country. Through his banking connections he wns able te persuade leading limine leis in evers city te lepiesetil the Centennial organiza tion, and thce men get together local mni mittecs te stir up Intunt in their syctiens of the i eiinti.v . .Mr Welsh then eiganized ,a gient ma chine in Philadelphia te prove that this citv was willing te r.inc as minh inene.v as it nsked an.vbeelv il-c te ennti ilaite. He fnimed an aim of siih-i-eiiiimittees, each one representing a l rule or profession, and he named te these mmmittft't, the most ptemlnent men in' then individual fields of work Subscription books were imiuediatelv cir culated and SKI suh-i riptieiis began te pour in The weik et selling stock ptegiesseel ipnti' rapiellv at lu-st The State of New Jeisev bought S 1 1 M I ipimi weith of shares and New Haiiipshiie, Cnniicetiiiit and Delawaii. benight SKI. COM vvnith each; the Citv of Wilmington bought S.'OdO and New Yerk Citv made up a list totaling about S2,")0. 000. IN TUP, very midst of these activities came the failure of .lav Coeke, which neught en the disistreus financial panic m isTis This was enough te dlsi'euingi' anv one but Mr. Welsh, and the ethet meinheis of the Pinancial Committee centinui d te work ting, gcdls in spite of this ebsiai li lt was their aim te open the doers free from debt, nnd with the panic cutting off n large source of their suppl.v of mene.v , the membeis of the Heard of I'luance from their own pen kits paid tm a gieit deal of the prepnratei) work which had te go en in spite of the panic As the panic- subsided and money began te ciic-ihte again the- beaid hud the mint in this eitv i'sue me-iueirl.il meil.als which were sold at M, !:., ,-?; and $," each, niiel a geed deal of revenue was mlsed by this means Pennsvlvania appropriated a million dol lar! te the exhibition, ami Philadelphia up up prepiiateel one- million and a half and also erected the Callnv lull and Giranl avenue bridge's ever thn Schuvlkill, casting about two and a half millions. IN THE spring of Js71 a bill was intro due I'd in Cen.'iess te appiepnati- four mil linn dollars as the shale of the test of the ceiiiitr, but the re piese nlalives fiem the West voted selidlv against it .md n was (bleated Mr Welsh anil his associates were cou ceu cou ftenttel with the statement that they must be abb- ti assure the financial end 'of the project befeie Cengiiss would make an ap ap piepriallnn, and this meant aihlitienal weik It was ncinnipllshi-d, however, and the Con Cen giess of 1S7."-17i passed a bill appropri ating a million and a half dellais 'lhe co-operation of Cengiesslin ill meant the end of the tmuhles of the Iteaid of Pinance, but Mr. Welsh's weik dining the preceding vnrs had been se notable that Piestdent Hives, wishing te show the coun ceun trv's appin latien, made him .Minister te England III 17S Ml Welsh iiccepteil this appointment with a geed deal of misgiving, ami he bud net been in the- position long before he lealized that the- subterfuges of diplomacy vvete net te his liking, and he resigned It is interesting te knew that the hest0sn dining his iif-idcnce m England was his daughter, who is new Mrs Themas U c. Stokes and who lives nt Wlssahiekeii ave nue and Westvievv street, in Germantown. THE. Centennial was net the only great public movement in which Mr. WcNi, took a leading pint. Aside from his posi pesi posi tiens ns a membei of the Sinking Pund Cem. mission nnd president of the Iteaid of Timle, he wns pn-sldent of the gieat Sanitary Pair held here dining the Civil War for the pre. motion of hospital and relief work among the soldiers Hut the (Vntennlnl nnd the opposition he had te overcome le biing hIkiiu its sin cess deflnileh marked him ns a reallv picnt pub-lie- benefactor, and further pioef of his tm. selfishness was given when, sheitlv after ward, the people- of the eitv piesented him with a geld medal and ,10,000 te icpay him in some mensure for the gieat sums he hail personally given te the preji'et. Mr. Welsh promptly tinned the $.",0,000 ever te the University of Pennsvlvania fur the establishment of the Jehn Welsh chair of English literature. J0 . ..

"We hear n geed deal tedav about the aristocrats of binms This is all light in its was. but we de net want a bieins of tirislecrac.v, and there is a wide eliffeiencc between tbe two things-. While most edu cators could and should have the aristoc aristec nicy of biaini, bv which we simply menu a higher brain cultivation, we should fellow the plan of making that higher education available te the masses, se that the seuug man who does net eeme within the uristoe uristee nicv of wealth shall still have the oppor tunity for a professional career ahead of him if he desires it. "I feel that there is a strong tendency te limit the aveiage Individual in the estab lishment of this se-inlled niisteci.icy of brains. This is evidenced b the fact that most of tlie higher institutions of learning are nstiicting the size of then- classes. As u rintler of fact, one of the most noted medical schools in the country has new limited its classes te 100 students. Suggests n City College "New, if education is te he of advantage te the inelivieliml, it should he e-asilv avail able for the masses of the people, M.v view of making thnt possible is the establishment of n i-ltj college, se that brains ami in-ii-ntivi- should he the motives for the nc-quiri-ment of a higher education rather than that menev should be. as it often Is at pies out, the determining fuctut. "I believe that the establishment of a city college would icsult in the moving up of the high-school giaduates into the higher brunches of teclinicnl and piofessleu.il train ing and thus leave room in the levvei grades for the thousands of .xeung men and women who are new groping for an edjicatien. "I fuitlier believe that the lack of edu cation is nt least in a measuie icspeusihle for the gieat crime wave which lias engulfed the count r.

Passing nf the Country Docter "Hut te letiiin te the cost rather than the results of education The passing of the oeinilry elector, these heroic and self -sac-i lining men who accomplished se much nf geed for their fellow human beings, is, 1 believe, laigely due te the great i est nnd the immense amount et Hum involved in the nc-quiiement of the necessity) education.
