Concerning Lehigh University.
1 . I
A peculiar feature of the educational
problem In Pennsylvania Is shown In
the Inexplicable Jealousy with which
many eminent citizens appear to view
the requests of an endowed college like
LohlinPiinlvorsIty for temporary state
aid. Lehigh Is nn Institution which,
thanks to the generosity of Asa Packer,
has for thirty years enriched the citi
zenship of this commonwealth to an
amount absolutely beyond computa
tion. From Its doors have emerged
hundreds of the most proficient en
gineers In the country men whose sub
sequent endeavors have added millions
upon millions of dollars to the indus
trial wealth of Pennsylvania and of the
United States. Under the terms of this
university's endowment hundreds ot
free scholarships have been held open
to ambitious young Pcnnsylvanlans,
and have been Instrumental In adding
largely to the state's educational equip,
ment.
Hut of late years the university
funds, being chiefly Invested In Lehigh
Valley railroad stock, which has passed
several dividends In succession, have
so' far declined in productiveness ns to
put before the management of the In
stitution the necessity either of acquir
ing temporary outside assistance or
else of suspending the Institution's
usefulness. All who aro familiar with
the limitations of school work will ap
preciate the fact that to close a univer
sity's doors for a time would be equiva
lent to inflicting upon It an nlmost fatal
blow. Continuity of work Is almost In
dispensable In such a field. The failure
of Lehigh to secure from some source
means whereby to tide over Its flru.n
clal embarrassments until Its regular
endowment fund shall again yield the
normal Income would constitute a mis
fortune to the commonwealth Blniply
beyond measurement by words or fig
ures. In this emergency an appeal was
successfully made to the recent legis
lature for temporary relief In tho sum
ot $200,000. IJut all nt once a howl
arose In certain quarters. Itepresenta
tlves of other Institutions, themselves
not In Lehigh's need, charged favorit
ism and undertook to dissuade the gov
ernor from attaching his signature to
the appropriation. One Judge on the
bench Sam Miller, of Mercer rushed
Into print against the allowanccthough
why ho should be hostile to technical
education cannot bo understood. In
short a peculiar and Inexplicable op
position, not so eminent as vociferous,
has developed, utter obllvlousr-to the
state's tremendous debt to Lehigh and
so determined upon "knocking the Le
high Valley crowd out" that they are
apparently reckless of tho Injury which
would thus come to the cause of public
education. Wo have faith that despite
this reckless clatter the governor will
recognize his. duty In this matter and
sign tho bill.
We fear that tho sultan of Turkey
would not fare well at the great Amer
ican pastlmo of poker. lie Is too easily
bluffed.
Hands Off Hawaii!
It appears from the latest Washing
ton advices that a double significance
attaches to the recent dispatch of Rear
Admiral Beardslee on the Oregon to
Honolulu. One of tho most trustworthy
of the 'Washington correspondents, Mr.
Stevens, of tho Globo-Demoorat, an
nounces that tho admiral's Instiuctlons
aro positive and sweeping. At tho first
Indication of undue Interference by the
Japanese or anv other power In Ha
waiian affairs, he Is to land marines
and hoist tho American flag. He Is to
bo the sole Judge of the necessity for
such action und It Is the talk among
navy circles that ho will not require
much urging.
Furthermore, It Is assorted by this
correspondent that President Dole, of
tho Hawaiian republic, stands ready to
supplement Ueardslee's Instruction In
a manner which will shut out any In
terference. Tho Globe-Democrat man
asserts: "A deed of cession of Hawaii
to the United States has been drafted.
It Is complete 'In all respects but one.
It wants only the signature of Presi
dent Dolo to make It effective. While
the American admiral waits only for
tho valid reason to land, the Hawaiian
president Is ready to sign tho deed of
cession tho moment tho American au
thority puts foot upon that soil. Tho
situation Is sharply defined. It only
needs the first act of meddling by an
outsldo power to develop Into an ob
ject lesson In robust Americanism,"
This Intelligence dovetails nicely with
the report via Vancouver that Count
Okuma, the Japanese minister of for
eign affairs, has declared It to be
Japan's Intention to resist American
annexation of Hawaii to the utmost.
Despite tho diplomatic, disclaimers of
tho Japanese minister at Washington
that his government ha had no In
tention of competing with tho United
States for control of Hawaiian affairs,
It has lately become plain as a pike
staff that she was Just on tho point of
nabbing tho coveted territory when
President MoKlnlcy exploded tho bomb
shell of the annexation treaty. All th
subsequent wriggling and scolding of
the Japanese would be Inexplicable
save on tho hypothesis that It Is the
outcrop of baffled, covetousness strug
gling to find a pretext to hang a further
hope on. That the Japs were crouch
ing for tho spring when Uncle Sam in
tervened Is tho uniform testimony of
every American traveler who has
viewed tho facts cither at Toklo or at
Honolulu, Against such testimony tha
denial of the Japanese themselves will
naturally not prevail,
It could be wished that tho annexa
tion treaty might be ratified by tho
senate at once. Then tho suspense
would bo over and all tho world would
bo In a position to know what to ex
pect. Hut If In tho hurry of senators
to ndjourn after tho conclusion of the
long nnd heated tariff session the mat
ter should be deferred until next win
ter thcro Is consolation In the knowl
edge that proper precautions have been
tnken to protect Amcrlran Interests In
Hawaii und to keep foreign hands off.'
Those who feel disposed to crltlcizo
the governor's veto of tho Ormo bill
levying a ten per cent, tax on storo or
ders, checks, dividers, coupons, pass
books or other paper representing the
wages of labor should bear In mind his
accompanying note, of which the fol
lowing extract Is the gist: "The
owner of u company store who
seeks to compel his employes to pur
chase any portion of his earnings In
storo goods by the Issuing of store or
ders, or other devices, could not bo
hindered In placing, however unjustly,
the additional tax on tho amount of
such orders upon his employe, This
bill deprives tho laboring man of tho
means of obtaining credit, either from
his employer or from anybody else, and
would make him In addition thereto
pay tho tax sought to be Imposed by
this measure. If the bill should becomo
a law ho must cither pay cash for his
coal, meat, clothing nnd other neces
saries of life, or go without them, or
pay 10 per cent, above what any other
man would have to pay to got credit
for such necessaries." In other words,
demagoglsm again overreached itself.
Real Cause of the Strike.
In reply to numerous requests for a
brief statement of the exact causes of
the present great strike of bituminous
coal miners, President Hatchford of the
miners' organization offers tho follow
ing comparison of wages paid In 181)3
with those paid now, and says It
nlone tells tho whole story:
Tho great mining district of western
Pennsylvania paid for mining In 1893, thin
vein, 7') cents, and thick vein 63 cents a
ton. Tho rato paid at present Is, thin
vein, 47 to fil cents a ton; thick vein, 23
to 30 cents a ton. During tho same year
the prices In Ohio and Inulnna woru 0
cents and 75 cents a ton, respec
tively. At present tho prico Is
51 cents n ton, or less, In both
states, with reduction offered, or at least
contemplated, to 43 cents n ton In conse
quence of the low prices In western Penn
sylvania. This ratio of fallen wages
holds good all along tho line, nffectlng
every mining state almost equally alike.
In tho great Hocking valley district of
Ohio tho avorugo wngo per miner, in one
of tho largest mines, for a period of eight
months, from Oct. 1, 1898, to June 1, 1S97,
was SCO per man, or fT.GO per man per
month, gross earnings. From this amount
tho cost of mlno supplies Is deducted,
leaving the remainder wsili which to pay
houso rent, coal, etc., and support his
family. At another mlno In tho same dis
trict tho gross earnings of thirty-nine
miners Is shown by tho written state
ments of the company to oggregato $223.98
for two weeks' labor, or nn average of
J2.S7 per man per week for the same
period. The deductions for company
store, powder and rent, including some
back rental, aggregate $019,029. The de
duction for storo alone, which bespeaks
tho total cost of supporting thirty-nine
families for two weeks, amounts to $179.05,
or an uverago of $2.2S per family per
week.
Mr. Hatchford gives a history of trm
various attempts mado by tho men to
secure from the operators a reidjust
ment of the wage schedules and says
the unpleasant alternative of a general
strike was not decided upon until after
alter every other attempt to preserve
the livelihood of tho men had failed.
The amount of Increase In wages de
manded Is but 9 cents per ton over the
former scale, together with a readjust
ment of machine mining, which will
place 11 upon an equal basis with pick
mining, giving to each Us just pro
portion. It Is nntural that In the face of such
hardsh'i'f, there should bo a dlsposl
tlon on the part of the strikers to hold
tho rpcrators severely responsible.
President Hatchford voices this ten
sity of :ellng when he pronounces tho
strike "nothing less than a spontan
eous uprising of an enslaved people,
whfi have determined to submit no
longer to tho cruel, heartless and In
human conditions Imposed upon them
by unscrupulous employers, which
have reduced them and their depen
dents to actual starvation." Hut even
he Is moved to qualify his words. "In
justice to n large majority of employ
ers It should," ho adds, "bo said that
they aro not responsible for this con
dition. It Is due to tho actions of a
few who have cut prices far below
tho demands of the market, thus de
moralizing trado and cutting wages
Indiscriminately, until the point Is
reached where men can no longer live
by their thrift and Industry."
In this light tho strike of bituminous
miners become virtually a public tes
timonial to the superior business
Judgment nnd humanity of the an
thracite operators who, In preference
to permitting tho prices of hard coal
to fall "below the demands of tho mar
ket," have by concert of action started
prices upward toward a level which
offers the promise of living wages and
fair profit. Wo commend the forego
ing words of President Hatchford to
those professed friends of labor
throughout the country who have fall
en Into tho habit of denouncing the
anthracite coal operators as robber
barons nnd extortionists because they
endeavor to securo a margin of exis
tence for men and mlno on the coal
whloh they put before tho public.
If tho mugwump wero only as perfect
In action us he Is exalted In criticism,
what a peach ho would be!
The Railway Problem.
Tho Engineering Nows contains an
article by F. W. Wilson which might
bo read with profit by thoeo who favor
government ownership and operation
of railways. Mr. Wilson lately paid a
visit to South Africa. Ho went a be
liever In government ownership. He
returned a confirmed antagonist. In
South Arfrlca, whero tho government
runs tha railroads, passenger faro Is
C cents a mile and the freight rato per
ton mllo Is 2 cents, contrasting with 2
cents and eighth-tenths of a cent In
the United States. Tha passenger
couches aro about tho quality and com
fort of an American , freight caboose,
and tho speed made by them IsMlttle
better than tho speed of our trains.
No provision Is mado for heating In'
winter and complaints as to nervlco
nro nnswered by tho stony glaro. t
It may bo argued that South Africa
Is n new country not yet developed nnd
that therefore It Is unfair to take Its
experience with government ownership
oh representative of that theory of
railroading. In somo degreo such a
plea would have competency; but un
happily the facts aro nearly It not
wholly as bad In older and more pop
ulous countries where the government
manages tho business of transporta
tion. Tho whole tendency of govern
ment ownership, npart form tho vlc
lousness of tho principle underlying It
a prlnctple whloh by denying tho
field to prlvato enterprise establishes
itself as essentially unrepubllcnn Is
to cultivate contempt for tho Individual
passenger or shipper; to mako the
business of transportation fit certain
beaurocratlc rules rather than to fit
the rules to tho conditions of that busi
ness; and In a general way to lllus
trato how not to do It.
That tho government should In the
Interest of the people- exercise vigilant
but prudent supervision over the meth
ods employed by the railroad compa
nies Is a fair condition of the grant of
charter rights and of the extraordin
ary privilege of eminent domain. It is
In this direction that Intelligent agi
tation will aim Its endeavors for re
form. Government ownership would
bo fraught with hazards afi unneces
sary as they are ominous.
A statement Is published In the
Washington Post, ostensibly "by au
thority," to the effect that Secretary
Sherman did not want to sign the note
to Ambassador Hay on the Bering
seal controversy because Its language
seemed to him to be too harsh. The
statement adds that he was finally
pressed to yield. Who pressed him?
It Is clear that this alleged "state
ment" Is false. There Is nothing In
the Hny note to be ashamed of and
furthermore we don't think John Sher
man Is a man to bo forced to do what
he thinks wrong. Someone must be
lying.
Ruthven, the autl-Romanlst agitator,
Is again In trouble. At Victoria, B. C,
he has been released from Jail on $300
ball after promising not again to utter
slanders concerning tho Catholic
clergy. It is evident that our criminal
jurisprudence does not provide prop
erly for such chronic disturbers of
the peace.
.
It seems that most of the predictions
that the administration will declare
war on the gieenbacks and strive to
give tho banks a monopoly of the note
Issuing power originate with the pres
ent amiable secretary of the treasury.
Mr. Gage has some things yet to learn
about politics.
Editor McLean's determination to
withdraw from the Ohio senatorial race
attests his commercial shrewdness. He
evidently forsaw that he couldn't get
a half-way Interesting run for his mon
ey. P?ril of Being
Too Poptilar.
From tho Washington Post.
It must bo a callous and a selfish heart
which does not go out In compassion
theso duys to the Hon. William McKln
ley. Ho Is president of tho United States.
to bo sure, and ho has more power than
tho head of any civilized or seml-civl'.lzed
nation In the world except the czar of
Russia. His Is tho proudest position of
them all, moreover, because he rules by
tho consent of tho people, because ho la
tho choice of thoso over whom ho pre
sides. Ho Is tho ono man living who gov
erns 75,000,000 of enlightened human be
ings as tho result of their own deliberate
preference. It Is Impossible to lmaglno
a position more brilliant than that which
Mr. McKlnley occupies today. And yet,
wo say again that It must be a callous
heart which docs not feel for him, even
In this hour of his glory and his exalta
tion. o
Surely never boforo In tho history of tho
country has a president been so beset by
claimants and petitioners, so besieged by
solicitation nnd importunity. Of course,
much of this is Cue to tho fact that he U
inoro widely known than any one who
ever entered the executive mansion be
fore. What wo mean Is that ho Is per
sonally known by and on terms of uffec
tlonnte Intimacy with moro men than any
president In the whcle list was at the mo
ment of his Induction Into ofllce. Mr. Mc
Klnley's military service, his twenty
years of congressional life, his long prom
inence In Ohio polities all these combined
with his personal attractions, his gift of
making friends, his kindly nature, ana
his simple, unaffected manners, have en
veloped 11m In a popularity which, how
ever welcome to a man of his tempera
ment, Is for the moment tho chief causa
of his afflictions. It Is perhaps safe to
say that a large majority of those who
now clamor for admission to his presence,
and thereby mako his life well nigh Intol
erable, entertain for him tho cfecpest and
slncorest regard. The chances are that
they admire and esteem him personally
and that such services as they may have
rendered would havo been at his dispo
sal, If need were, 'without the umallost
promlso of reward. It Is easily conceiv
able of a man of Mr. McKlnley's charac
ter that men may lovo and help and ad
mire hm for himself. It Is conceivable
of theso things which now make Mr. Mc
Klnley's pathway one of thorns that they
havo not once considered how appalling
a burden they are Imposing upon tho man
they so esteem and honor. The fact re
mains, however. The Importunities by
which Mr. McKlnley is beset; tho con
stant, fierce, and unrelenting claims upon
his time; the tireless assiduity of those
who seek his audience; conspire to make
a persecution beforo which tho most In
trepid man on earth would stand aghast.
o
Tho simple truth of the matter Is that
theso excellent and well-meaning persons
aro making tho president's life unbear
able. If ho were a selfish and coarse
grained man. Indifferent to the feelings
of others, ungrateful for affection und
Bcrvlce, and Inscnslblo to the sorrows and
disappointments of his fellow-men, Mr.
McKlnley would experience but llght dls
comfort under the conditions that now
prevail. Ho would simply close his doors
upon tho crowd and leave them to per
sist or to despair as they might prefer.
The trouble In his case Is that he sympa
thizes with one and all of them, wishes to
see each applicant nnd to say or do for
him what he can In the way of encour
agement and kindness. Eminence has not
estranged him from his fellow-cltlzens.
Ho Is as genuine, as sincere as unaffected
as ho was In his quiet country home at
Canton, where all regarded him and all
wero free to enter the circumference of
hi sympathies. We think so well of hu
man nature as to believe that If those
who now besiege the executive mansion
so stubbornly and yet so unavalllngly
would weigh the considerations wo havo
ofTorod them they would abate some
thing of their resoluto persistency.

LOOKING AHEAD.
From tho Philadelphia Ledger.
The Fifty-lifth congress, which Is now
In extra aewtlou, and which will not meet
In regular session until December next,
will cxnlro March 4. 1899. Tho houao of
representatives, when organized, was com
posed of 200 Republicans, 133 uemocrats,
17 Populists and Bilverltes, und there woro
two vacancies. Tho next election for rep
resentatives will occur In November, 189S.
The United States senate comprises 43
Republicans, 33 Democrats und 12 Repub
lican Sllverltcs nnd PopullstB, with two
vacancies, one In Oregon, to Jill which H.
W. Corbett, Republican, appointed by the
governor, has filed his certlflcnte; and one
In Tennessee, caused by the death of
iHham G. Harris, Democrat. Mr, Harris
Is succeeded by a. Democrut, but the Ore
gon case Is In doubt.
Tho terms of tho following senators cx
plro with the present congress: Califor
nia, 6. M. White, Dem.; Connecticut, J.
R. Ilawley, Rep.; Delaware, George
Gray, Dem.; Florida, Samuel Pasco,
Dem.; Indiana, David Turple, Dem.;
Maine, 'Eugene Halo, Rep.; Maryland, A.
P. Gorman, Dem.; Massachusetts, II. C.
Lodge, Hep.; Michigan, J. C. Burrows,
Rep.; Mtnr.ctota, C. K. Davis, Rep.; Miss

M, Cockrell, Dem.; 'Montana, Leo Mantle,
Sllverlto; Nebraska, W. V. Allen, Pop.;
Nevada, V. M. Stewart, Sllverlto; New
Jersey, James Smith, Jr., Dem.; New

Rep.; Rhode Island, N. W. Aldrlch, Rep.;
Tennessee, W. B. Bate, Dem.; Texas, It.
Q. Mills, Dom.; Utah, F. J. Cannon, Sll
verlto: Vermont, Redfleld Proctor, Rep.;
Virginia, J. W. Danlol, Dem.; Washing
ton, J. L. Wilson, Rep.; West Virginia, C.
J. Faulkner, Dem.; Wisconsin, J. L. Mitch
ell, Dem.; Wyoming, C. D. Clark, Rep.
Of tho 30 retiring senators 11 aro Republi
cans, 15 aro Democrats, 3 are Sllverltcs
and ono is a Populist. Tho holding-over
senators will bo composed of 32 Republi
cans, 19 Democrats and 8 Sllverltcs and
Populists, leaving tho Oregon vacancy out
of the calculation,
o
With respect to tho retiring senators,
tho Republicans are qulto certain to re
tain representation In Connecticut, Maine,
Massachusetts, Minnesota, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island and Vormont, and they will
probably succeed In Michigan and Ohio.
There Is considerable doubt as to Wash
ington and Wyomlng.Tho Democrats will
retain their membership from Florida,
Mississippi, Missouri, Texas, Virginia, and
probably from Tennessee, but In every ono
of the following states the chances are
against them from present Indications:
California, Delaware, Indiana, Maryland,
New Jersey, New York, North Dakota,
West Virginia and Wisconsin. The four
retiring Sllverltcs and Populists will
probably bo succeeded by senators of tho
samo poll1 leal faith ns their own, al
though Utah may send a Democrat In
Mr. Cannon's place.
o
It will be noted from this that tho
chances of controlling the next senate are
strongly In favor of tho Republicans, but
there is a large proviso, namely, that in
dustrial prosperity sets in.
THE BUZZARD.
From the Times-Herald.
Tho buzzard will fly almost an Incredi
ble distance If need be In search for Its
chosen food. Ovei fields rich with waving
grain and sweet with perfume of flow
ers; past clear, sparkling brooks which
carry health in every ripple, It soars, with
never a stop, far above all tho attractive
things of lifo. It Is seeking tho dead. In
stinctively and unerringly It finds the
carrion on which It feeds. In tho econ
omy of nature tho buzzard may fill a
niche of Its own and sorve a helpful pur
pose, but tho scavenger bird, too cowardly
to fight, too lazy to earn a living by active
competition and too debased to havo any
aspiration above tho offal on which It
gorges its 111-odored carcass, Is not a fig
ure to attract nor a model to be admired.
o
But certain buzzards do not rty.Same of
them walk and wear clothing. Those that
fly havo no vclco; thoso that do not have
little els?. The calamity waller Is tho
buzzard of tho Industrial world. He does
not hear the hum of awakening prosper
ity: ho docs not percclvo the smoke aris
ing from factory ch(mneys long given over
to tho leatnerea masons lor tneir namta
tlons; he does net know that bank clear
ances are heavier, that business failures
aro fewer, that times, however hard they
may be, are better now than they havo
been at any period since Democratic mis
management and admlnlstrattvo Incill
clency sent wages and profits down to
low-water mark.
The calamity buzzard sees nothing
which makes for business Improvement,
becauso he does not look for It. He Is
seeking not for commercial life but for
industrial death. If a firm becomes em
barrassed ho sets up a loud croaking to
apprise the whole world of tho disaster.
If a strlko throws out of employment a
few workmen In a certain Industry ho
maintains that the wheels of progress
nro completely blocked. He croaks be
cause a Republican administration has
been unablo In four months to repair all
the damages of twice as many years of
misrule. Ho croaks becauso a tariff bill
has not brought a floodtlde of prosperity
oven beforo it has been formulated and
placed upon tho statute books. He croaks
becauso it Is his nature to croak, Just as
1', Is tho naturo of his feathered proto
type to fly. But he Is a bird of HI omen,
at all times and under nil circumstances,
and tho voters of any stato who adopt
that symbol for their party standard will
see their colors trailed in the dust at the
polls.
