The Republicans of Pennsylvania, by their duly chosen representatives, will meet In Stato con vention Thursday, April 2a, 1890, at 10 o'clock a. ra., In the opera house, city of Harrlshurg, for tbo purpose of nominating two candidates for rcprcscntatlvcnt-lnrgo In Congress and thirty two candidates for Presidential electors, the selection of eight dclcgatcs-aHargo to tho He publican National convention, and for tho ransactlon of such other business as may bo presented.

In another column will bo found a com munication from a prominent member of the Citizens party, who asks soveml pertinent iicst!ons bearing on tlio deadlock in tho Borough Council over tho election of n suc cessor to Oscar Bettcridgo as Water Superin tendent. Our roi respondent appears to bo in a cynical mood, or else his judgment has lost its cunning. Tho Citizens party elected a majority of the members of Council, and the people de mand from them that they organizo that body from a Citizens standpoint, if possible, and without detriment to tlio interests of the taxpayers. Persona! interests, however, should he secondary to tlio public weal. Tbo public water works, a valuable plaut that his cost tlio taxpayers over 150,000 to erect, is without an official head. Oscar Bettcridgo is no longer Water .Superintendent; the Borough Council is deadlocked on the elec tion of his successor, and the Water Com mittee, to whom is delegated tho power to appoint temporary, is in tlio bamo predica ment. Tliis is a state of air.ii is that should not exist, to which every member of Council will agree. Tho selection of Water Supeiiu tendent cannot be classed with tbo election of Town Clerk or policeman tho foimcr should be a man of moio than ordinary ability; lie has it in bis power to either save or squander the people's money, and can mako tlio plaut a paying investment or a "white elephant" for tlio borough. Tlio necessity for immediate action in fill ing the vacancy, therefore, will bo readily acknowledged. Tho only question is how can tho vacancy be filled aud to whom is duo tho responsibility for tho deadlock. Looking at tho matter frum a party standpoint, wo bolievo Councilman tlablo is pursuing a wrouj course. As wo lao previously stated, tho Citizens paity has aright to expect, with eight members in that body, tlio control of thu organization nnd selection of officers of Council. Tlio Democrats concede this. There are three candidates for tho position, and the choice of the seven Citizens mem hers is.A. 1!. Lamb, with Mr. Gablo voting alonie for Philip Gable. Conceding that both moil aro competent fur tbo position, it is hardly reasonable, tu say tbo least, to expect seven men to acceded tu tho demands of one The Citizens members aro bound by thu caucus majority, aud if Mr. Lamb was con sidered competent and worthy enough tu re ceive the support of Mr. Gablo and the other six Citizens members last year, when ho was named for tho position, surely there can bo no reasonable oxcuso otl'ered fur not giv iug him the samu support this year. As matters stand now, Mr. Gablo is tlio balance of power in botli Council nnd tlio Water Committee. Tho people will demand that tlio deadlock be broken aud a Suporin tendent bo placed lu charge of tbo water plaut. Thero is too much at stake to allow matters to stand as they aro. Whether tho Water Superintendent is to bo Itctteridge, Limb or Gablo is a question that needs solu tion, nnd at once It may be necessary to ask the court to settlo tbo dispute. Hotter that than allow tho plant without uu official bead, Get together, gentlemen, or do tho other thing. Tub order of court granting to tbo County Commissioners and Controller permission to erect a new hospital building at tbo Alms house and make other necessary improve ments, will meet with tho sanction of tbo taxpayers. The new hospital eauuot bo built too boon. lllciiAitu Fi.v.nn, tlio well known politi cian of Ilutlcr township, has announced him self as u candidate for County Commissioner subject to Republican rules. Mr. Flynu has labored in aud out of season for tho success of his party, and If faithful work nnd party Unity Is to bo awarded tho nomination could fall in no moro worthy hands. THE STONE BILL. With an immigrant population at present of loss than 15 per cent., says tho New York Advertlsor, over 50 per cent, of tlio white penitentiary convicts and white inmates of tho poor housos ill this country aro foreigners, Such is thu averment or tho majority mem- bore of tho Houso Immigration Committee in Cougross. Tliis I? a startling statement. It shows that tax immigration laws aro a prolific caiM of the growth of crime and iiauporism lnthouiilteu states. uonionstraies mat they are a cause of Increasing taxation tho people It proves that thoy aro produc tive of evils which, unless checked, must sooner or later bocomo a grave inonaco. Instead of founding homos horo this class of foreigners feeds tho prisons and almshouses and adds seriously to tho burdens of tho uativo population. Kvery conslderption of public wclfaro, moral and material, requires that greater discrimination shall bo exorcised in admit- ting immigrants lu this country. Such is the purpose of the Stone bill, providing for the inspection of immigrants by United States Cnmumls. That hill should Ik) ittsscd.

'1 ho Opening of tlio Institution mi Aus picious Kcnl, The formal opening of Wood's Business College lust evening was an auspicious event, one which was a Btrong reminder of tho untliusiastii' scenes in educational Work of n few years ago when tho teachers' county Institute was hold lu this town. It nttrnctcd a large attendance of tho Intellectual class of tho community nnd nearly all tho public school teachers nnd many elorgymcn took occasion to visit tho Institution nnd loam something of what tho management contem plates. There wore many pcoplo from neighboring towns also in attendance. Tlio rooms of tho college woro crowded by visitors long beforo tho timo intended and President S. I. Wood nnd his corps; of as sistants wcro kept busy extending courtesies for smiio timo beforo tho hour fixed for tho formal reception In tho opera houso. Tho Orant Hand was hired for tlio occasion and after giving a street concert occupied ono of tho collego apartments, rendering a program of excellent selections while tho collego stair took tho visitors from ono hall to another nnd explained tho uses to which they will bo put when tbo students get down to work. At about 8:30 tho formal reception took placo in Ferguson's tlicatro beforo a very large audience. After an excellent overture by Prof. John Jones' orchestra tho curtain was raised and revealed tbo stage decorated with many very beautiful and fragrant Easter flowers'. Scuts on tho stago wero occupied by Hon. O. F. Williams, of Seranton, who Is at tbo head of tho business collego in that city and formerly Consul to France; Prof. S. I, Wood, Rev. T. M. Morrison, S. G. M.

Several addresses wcro made during tbo evening and wero intersporscd by selections from tho orchestra under tho very ablo conductorship of Prof. Jones. Prof. S. I. Wood was tho first speaker nnd occupied tlio platform about ilvo minutes, during which ho stated tlio circumstances that led to tho establishment of his collego hero. Ho said that in selecting Shenandoah as a location ho took into consideration tho condition of tho public schools of tho town, which ho classed as being at tbo head of tho school system of Schuylkill county. His experience has taught him that where thero aro tbo best public schools yon find the best business colleges. Prof. Wood laid stress upon the statement that business colleges aro in no way in opposition to tlio public schools, but a helpmate to thoso who pass through them to tho bettor spheres of life. Miss Mazo Monaglian gave an impressive recitation, "On tho Rappahannock," aud was followed by S. G. M. Ilollopoter, Ivri who spoke of tho advantages of a good business education and commended Prof. Wood and his college. l!ev. T. M. Morrison, pastor of tho Presby terian church, was tho next speaker and addressed tbo audience very effectively. Ho gave wholesomo advice to those who aro en rolled ns students of tho college and pointed out the advantage to bo gained by thoso who will prove truo to themselves by being loyal to the institution, and defending Its reputa' Hon. After another selection by tho orchestra Hon. O. F. Williams was introduced and spoko for several minutes witli excellent of- feet. He is an orator with a commanding presence and held tho undivided attention of hisaudieneo throughout his remarks. Ho spoke highly of Prof. Wood and predicted a great future for his college 1'rol. Thomas Martin, tho organizer of tho college, was tho last speaker. He suited that in turning over the Shenandoah institution to Prof. Wood ho completes a list of 100 business colleges he has organized in the tinted States. Tho conclusion of tho address was fol lowed by tlio distribution of very pretty souvenirs of tho collego in tlieaudienco, after which tlio exercises closed with a selection by tho orchestra. Tho souvenir consisted of bluo enameled pennant flying from a white metal stall' and hearing tho initials of tho collego "W. I). C" in white letters. After tho close of tho exercises Prof. Wood, his faculty and a fow invited guests enjoyed a collation at tho Ferguson Houso, which was of nn informal character, but nono tbo less enjoyable I ho collego is located in tho Ferguson building, nt tho northeast comer of Main and Centro streets, and has possession of tho en tiro third floor and all but a very small part of tho second. The apartments nro dlvldol into olbces of tho President and Principal, shorthand school room, business course, English branches and lecture rooms. Iu the latter lectures aro given on commercial law.
