Henry Clay Frick, nt one time a part
ner of Andrew Carnegie, Is animated by
a desire to do something which will
thro Carnegie's library scheme In the
shade. Mr. Frick realises the impos
sibility of outdoing Mr. Carnegie in his
chosen line, and consequently has con
centrated his gift of moneyon a sin
gle institution. He has declared his
intention to found a university with a
capital that will render It Independent
. of the public. , The Frick University,
- if it Is ever built, will not be compel
led to select a president noted for his
success In convincing millionaires that
a donation to a university is not only
a wise investment, but one that appeals
to men who have an ambition to figure
in history In some other capacity than
as a mere money-maker. The condition
upon -which Mr. Carnegie founds li
braries Is likely In the not remote fu
ture to obscure his fame. The library
he founds will bear Carnegie's name.
but It will be supported by the public.
Twenty years from date the public will
have given twice as much to the li
brary as Mr. Carmgle, but it will still
bear Carnegie's name. At the begin
ning of the twenty-first century people
will wonder why a library that is main
talned at public expense Is spoken of
as being the gift of a single individual.
If Mr. Frick is Wise he will elude the
trap that Mr. Carnegie has pointed out
He will found an institution that can
live on its endowment. Such an lnsti
tution may properly bear the name of
Its founder. It will provoke no ant
mosities. No one will question the
right of a man to give his name to
an institution to which he has given
so much money that it can live on the
interest of the original investment
AH good republicans will support the
regular ticket nt the polls today. Bet
ter men for city attorney and the coun
cil could not possibly have been nam
ed, and thorj is no tvason why they
should not be cleoiid. Republicans must
lurn out and vote th ticket

Evening Telg.-am: Portland business
meu will do well to be alert with ref
erence to the possible change in gov
ernment transport business between
this country and the Philippines. If
the business should be turned over to
private hands, Seattle, with the Boston
Transportation company and Mr. J. J.
Hill pulling for it, expects tc secure
this very valuable commercial acquisi
tion; but if the business goes away
from San Francisco it is by no means
certain that thes vwple and Seattle
can secure it nil. Portland has some
very Important advantages that Se-
atle does no iwssess. Among these are:
Proximity to needed supplies; a fresh
water harbor, larger wharfage accom
odations, and elose by the best quar
ters In the Unite! Stat?s for returned
soldiers. As to objections that Seattle
will raise, th!y are not serious, and
such as they are will soon be obviated.
Work on the improvement of the mouth
of the Columbmia will be begun next
spring, the channel this side of As
toria, already sufficient, will be farther
deepened, and we will have a capacious
dry dock.

An auction sale in Shanghai of some

curios In the Celestial empire. The

"The imperial sean chair used by the
emperor on his way to the temple of
heaven was one of many curios offer

Chinese purchasers brought a price of
11 taels only for the chair. A Bet of

Oregonlan: No territory should be
brought Into the Union nor kept out
upon ihe grounds of partisan gains or
loss. The lives and fortunes of hun-
dredU of thousands of people cannot
honestly or decently be made the foot
ball of political ambitions. Tet every
body knows that Just this discreditable
thing will lie done Just so long as we
have territories to supplicate, in the
future as it has been done in the past.
The pitiful thing about It is the near
sightedness that has to do duty for
political presci.-nc. The objection to
Arizona and New Mexico Is their un
fitneos. and not their political affiliation
with the democratic party. The view

length of timj is precisely as fatuous
an the similar view concerning Oregon
44 years ago.
