He is not likely to be recalled to the Presidency, like Cleveland hut, on the other hand, he is not likely to drop into obscurity, like II ayes. He will simply have to fashion his own career, as other men do. WILBERFORCE'S LIFE WORK M.

SHAW OX ONE OF ENGLAND'S GREATEST SOCIAL REFORMERS. should be no further waste of time. The committees should give special and diligent attention to forward all measures of public importance, leaving the snake and crank bills to the last, to be reported negatively when there is nothing important remaining to be done. Pounder of the Boston Conservatory of Music and a Great Composer, Roston, January 10 Julius Eichberg, director of the Boston Conservatory of Music, which he founded In 18i7, and one of the greatest violin teachers in the country, died to-day. Julius Eichberg was born in Dusseldorf In 1824 and destined from the very first by his father, a man or uncommon musical culture, to become a musician.

As a child he was nulurally a prodigy, and he did not pass through the phenomenal period without exciting much attention, playing, among other places, at a court concert before the Emperor Nicholas of Kussia. At the age of 17 Julius Eichberg left Dusseldorf und entered the Conservatoire of Urussels as a pupil of the celebrated violinist He Beriot, while he studied composition under Fetis, the very eminent critic. At the end of two years he received the first prizes at the examination both for violin playing and composition. He came to this country for his health and as tlie director of music in the Boston from to ISHfi lie became known as the first composer of English American operas. "The Doctor of Alcantara," composed in HKI2 for the modest musical resources wf a theatrical stock company, lias not vet lost its popularity.

It was followed by The Hose of Tyrol," "A Night in Koine" and "The Two Cadis," a work which contains some delicious music. He also composed many songs und pieces for the piano. Iu 1SII7 the Boston Conservatory of Music was established, with Mr. Eichberg as director, and his brother as business manager. This left Mr.

Eichberg ut liberty to devote himself to the thorough artistic success of his undertaking, which has well repaid his unceasing work by growing in excellence and intluence with every yeur. Mr. Eiehborg was especially noted as a teacher of the violin, in which capacity he earned a national reputation. EDUCATING THE INDIAN'S. The Lincoln Institution Shown to be in Prosperous Condition.

Tho meeting was attended by about ono hundred representative business men. who came principally to express their dissatisfaction with the treatment received from the olllciuls in the matter of the allotment of space. Several letters were read from prominent firms who declared their intention of declining to exhibit owing to the siimllncs of tho space given them, and others becauso their rcquestH for space were ignored altogether. Louis E.

At the request of the president of the association Z. Taylor llickards. Commissioner Woodsidu addressed tho meeting on the question of the allotment of space.

So far as it goes it's a healthy sign when a railroad stock gets on the list. Thus Philadelphia's is quoted. J. Marshall Wright's unanimous reelection as Chairman of tho Democratic State Committee was a just recognition of his eflici-ency and skill as tho leader of the Democratic forces.

Chairman Wright didn't bring Pennsylvania into the revolutionary line last fall, but he cut off nearly 20,000 of tho average majority, with Philadelphia not in battle line, and he has sowed the seed for promising future harvests. The.ro will he a perfunctory sort of a battle in Pennsylvania this year, but it will be something of a drill parade for 18114, when both sides will buckle down to business; and Chairman Wright won't be likely to miss any tricks in the game. There have boon times this winter when the man in the street car would have looked on some ono heaping red-hot coals on his head as a positive kindness. Two of the newly-elected United States Senators had a very close call on Wednesday last. Stephen M.

White, the new Democratic Senator from' California, was elected by tho vote of one of the Populist members, ho resides in Mr. White's home, Los Angeles. Present Senator Cushman K. Davis, of Minnesota, was re-elected by just the requisite number of Votes, notwithstanding an open bolt against him in his own party but enough is as good as a feast." If anything could excuse tho numerous cases of burglary going on, it is that almost anybody would prefer getting into a comfortable house such weather as this to staying outside. The Faihuill Railroad ordinance seems to have got fixed at last in a way to meet all objections.

A section has been added providing for a change of grade in the streets it will cross and for the erection of bridges at the cost of the company when the streets shall be opened. With this provision against grade crossings there is no reason apparent why the ordinance should not be approved. It might just as well have been framed properly at the first. There's not an otliec-liolder who ouldn't like to be elevated for an example rather thcu thrown out as a suggestion. If the present snow-fall continues to lie on the streets and pavements a few weeks longer there is a possibility that the snow-cleaning ordinance will lie spliced to cover the entire city.

An amendment to this ell'eet was introduced into Councils yesterday. If the usual January thaw should develop the pnqioseil ordinance would probably be forgotten, but if it remains cold the Councilmauie memories will duubtlcsslic jogged to the point of passing it.

The lecture, one of a series given under tho patronage of the Lecture Association of the University of Pennsylvania, was on William Wilher-force.

The lecturer began The last letter from Wesley to Wilherforee, written February 84, 1701, contains these words, Unless a divine power has raised you up to be an Athanasius to this generation and shall support you against the enemy of the world, the opposition of men and devils must surely wear you "The crusade in which Wilherforee was a leader against tho system of shivery and the horrible traffic in human flesh was onu of the general results of the evangelical revival in Kngland, of which we have been studying. Few epistles are more creditable to their authors thau those which are left on record as concerning tho abolition of tho trade in human flesh. To-day we are not all of the religion of Wilherforee but we must all respect the man who raised the nation to a sense of the moral wrong ot slavery, who awakened tho conscience of the people to battle against the selfish greed of vested interests and who finally swept away the curse from the kingdom. AMBITION' PUSHED AKIDK. "It is fully as worth our while to study the, lives of William Wilherforee and tho humanitarians of his day in conquests over human greed, as to spend our time on considering that scourge of Kurope, Napoleon.

Tho character of Wilherforee is far more worthy of admiration than that of his contemporary, that royal scoundrel, George. IV. Wilherforee was a statesman of great force, falling into the second rank only because ho lived in the days of such giants as Pitt, Fox and Burke. A parliamentary speaker of eloquence and power, a favorite in society, well born and highly cultured, he used his talents for the good of mankind in preference to securing for himself what would havo been considered high post. An intimate riend of the younger Pill, there was no position under the government, even that of Prime Minister itself, to which he might not have aspired yet with a rare uuscliUhiiesg he delilierately renounced ambition and de-Voted his life to the cause of the, down-trodden and oppressed," Mr.

Shaw sketched the life of Wilherforee, giving Hull, in Yorkshire, and as the place and time of his birth. A curious fact concerning Wilberforce's early life is that at the age of 14 he rote to a friend a vigorous protest against the slavery system, although it was many years before he. devoted himself to the inline which was to prove his lite work. At 17 WillHTibree came into possession of bis fortune, ii fact hich nft'. ctc.l his hole life ut Cambridge, here he shortly went.

The peovekb that one man's meat is another man's poison is not so far positively abrogated by anything brought out in the Homestead trials.

Hill Will lMhl. It is known that John L. Him. has been not only tho backbone but the head, tho heart, the legs, the arms, the fingors and tho toes of the Building Commission. Xo dozen men ran be autocrats at once to exercise the same authority.

When a number are given despotic authority, there must be a despot of despots, and there is only one man in the Commission who is in all respects fitted to he the central figure and master autocrat of that body. That man is Sir. Hii.l. He has ability, courage and fidelity to thoso who serve him. He is an expert in all tho sinuous ways neces sary to maintain an authority that every citizen abhors, and he could smooth the rough places over which the Commission had to tread better than all tho others combined.

He believes in one-man power, and he is a fighter from away hack. Others may consent to die without a struggle, but he won't, and he read the riot act to his hesitating comrades and demanded that they should unfurl their flag and fight until the last ditch engulfed them. Mr. Hii.l is quite right in assuming that the Commission should be heard at Harris-burg, and he is quite right also in kicking all qucstious of punctilio aside in accepting the challengo to battle. The Commission has abundant notice of the effort to abolish it.

It has the entirely united and earnest demand of the press of the city; it has the practically unanimous demand of Councils; it has the otlicial demand from the Mayor, one of its own members, and it has the unmistakable expression of popular sentiment, all calling for its overthrow. It has lino upon line, precept upon precept, hi re a little and there a little, and much from about everywhere summoning it to a final struggle for its existence, anil only those of the Commission who ure ready to surrender can shiver (ii silence and wait for an invitation to attend their own funeral. Mr. 11 II. is right in demanding that tho lluilding Commission shall bo heard at llar-risburg.

The most hopeless criminal is entitled to impartial hearing and trial, and so is the Coin mission. Let Hi l.l. be instructed to go to Harrisburg with the Council Committee, or rather let him instruct himself to do hi, and let the representatives of the people who have been robbed be met face to face by the men ho have robbed them. That is the way to deal with the issue, and if Mr. Hi l.l.

ami his associates ran give any good reasons why absolutely autocratic, irresponsible authority should continue to expend millions of the people's money without accountability, let the reasons be heard and justly considered. tin uuc point Mr. Hll.l.secnistobe forgetful. With It i mi on such a mission to Harrisburg should ln the one man who is in the dual attitude uf representing the Commission and the people, who pay the plicr for the Commission. That man is Mayor Sri AHT, and be should lie oue of the iiicliilicrs of the lssly to aiiouipany Mr.

THE TIMES, PHILADELPHIA. EIGHT PAGES PHILADELPHIA. JANUARY 20, Hojxs for Boiler Transit. The Traction Company, operating a greater mileage of passenger railways thau any other company anil having the largest capital ami revenues at command, very properly took the, lead in the movement for the introduction of improved motive power. While the extent of its operations, giving it something the aspect of a monopoly, may have intensified the suspicions of some conservative citizens, it gave the, broadest possible field to the discussion of the subject, and thus made the, final decision most complete.

It must be recognized that the recent judgment of the Supreme Court upholding the trolley ordinances was moro than merely a technical decision. It recognized not only the authority of the Councils to authorize the use of improved motive power on the street railways, but also tho public necessity for itch use. It was uot simply a victory for the Traction Company; it was a victory lor I he general demand for rapid transit. If there had been no such demand apparent, it is questionable if these suits would have taken the course tin did. Tho Supreme Court's decision is thus a sutlicicnt direction to the Councils to facilitate in every proper way the introduction of the electric motor.

Other railway companies are entirely justified in availing themselves at once of the results of the Traction's battle, and they should lie met by the Councils in a frank and friendly spirit. The electric motor Is now here needed more than on the suburban lines, such us tho Krankford and Koiithwurk and those hading to ticriiiuiitf.wii or lines crowing the northern part of the city. Indeed the use of the trolley will loan to easy communication a wide territory that is now practically inurecs.il. mid must thus lie of Itrcal advantage to the city. Part of this territory is covered by theTiuc-tion lines on hich the trolley is already authorized the Krankford and Suit Ii- wark.are operated bytl rigiual inra.ru- tioin, which ure abundantly able to supply a well-regulated n-niiv.

Many of thoe lines have already upplird to the Councils for the necessary authority, and it should lie granted at subject, of course, to the smie run-ditions iuiosfd in 1,1 lo can in order to acrurr the liot possible results. The trolley promises the only ilium dial- solution of the probb in uf rapid fr riiila.h Iphia, and no hi n'eilai -i lie plan din its way. 1 1 l. a g. fad lh.it Mllll.l IIIHli I In' but the way the in-is of Ihe lo Mint -i tos nil utr thaning forth, hi is i irruni lautiul i tin must Is lii vr of it los in lln! pull, ul.ir Win ir i imi In loll iiiim the Quay hid.
