Address *11 ComMBtcatkm* o THK H i£RALD, CAPE nAY, N. J.

SATURDAY, MARCH 7, 1903. NoUce. M. A. tVull is no longer connected «itli this paper, nor has he been since I'ccrmber last. No bills are payable to him. but at the ollice of the iiajter, or it> attorney, Lewis T. Stevens.

Realization of Lincoln’s Wish. When Ocncral O. O. Uoward was on the point of leaving Washington for Chattanooga with his command thirtynine years ago. during the civil war, President Lincoln especially commended the Tennessee mountaineers to him.' wished him to understand and appreciate them and expressed a hope that some day they would have larger opportunities, especially In schooling and In securing a higher education. Some years later General Boumrd began the task of securing an endowment fund for the Cumberland Gap university In Tennessee and a few days ago announced that he had succeeded In raising $200,000 for that purpose, thus rtaUxiug. In part at least, the wish of the martyred president. In comparison with the endowments of many colleges and universities this endowment Is small, but the Inspiration of it and the spirit with which General Howard has carried on the work of securing the fund make It a notable and commendable bequest and will no doubt be the means of accomplishing much good. The university for which this modest endowment has been secured is perhaps not so well known or presumptuous as many of the Institutions which have tM-eq richly endowed, but It has the field and facilities for dolqg excellent work. It has academic, normal and Industrial deportments. The academic department begins with the primary school. Teachers are Instructed In the • normal department In the Industrial department boys arc taught farm work, carpentry, masonry, typesetting and other trades, and the girls arc Instructed In all branches of domestic work. There are more than 300 pupils on the rolls who pay their way cither by work or money. General Howard says that when the institution was started there were in a group of fourteen counties 2,000.000 people without -chool privileges.

••Now For Peace." Under the above caption the Newark News prints the following: ‘■Strenuous elfort* are 1 icing put forth in Cape May County to harmonize the liepuhfiiNin'fai-tion.s'. The first act of Assemblyman Cruse, after having purchawd a newspaper, was to print a good likeness of Senator Hand and eulogize him to the skies. The next step toward renewing former friendships will now be watched with in-

terest.”

If the impression prevails throughout the State that the Republican* of Cape May eou-'ty are divided, they are surely mistaken. The last visions of factionalism were banished some time ago, and last autumn the party was so united in the campaign ol Lewis M. Cresse for assembly that the whole ticket, fromCongre.^s to Coroners received 1200. -With leaders of Cresse's stripe there can be no factionalism. Senator Hand leads no faction. He supported the ticket

igh Cn

blamed on Senator Hand. The faeni above says that Assemblyman Crease has bought a newspaper, but it surely is not the Cape May IIehau>, and it was the pniy paper which published a sketch and likeneas of the Senator previous to the publication. The News, the Cape May Star and Philadelphia Record all have "another guess” on the ownership of the Cape

May Hekald.
