system of education, in West,
Virginia, is the want of any pro-
vision for the higher education Of
women. We give both sexes the
same advantage in the Common
Schools and the Normal Schools,
but when young woman, in COM
pany with her brother, asks to en-
ter the State University, as stu
dent, we close the door in her face.
The State should either open the
doors of the University to both
sexes or else it should found an in
stitution offering equal advantages
for the higher education of women.
If we will thoroughly grade our
primary schools and firmly estab-
fish our intermediate Schools and
open the doors of our University
to both sexes, we may then boast
Of having ian educational ladder
with one end in the gutter and the
other in the University"

THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
Speech of Hon. ". II.
Traverse.
I'LL of Which 1oos u Mag
nifce,at Nothing.

Ats o'clock last evening an in
telligent audience gathered in the
Commencement Hall of the Uni
verslty, to listen, as they sup
posed, to an address before the w.
Va. Historical Society, by the
Hon. w. H. Travers, of Charles
ton, Jefferson county, and were led
in prayer by Rev. w. E. Powell,
Of Parkcrsburg, w. Va.
Kramer's band made its first ap-
pearance, youths and maidens,
men and matrons, arrayed in their
very best new bonnets and suits
came out in all their glory on dress
parade, and every thing seemed to
promise pleasurable evening.
But alas for human expectations |
The Vice President of the Univer-
sity arose and announced to the
audience that owing to circumstan-
ces beyond their control neither
the President Of the Historical So
ciety nor the speaker of the even
ing would be present. He assured
the adience, however, that emin-
ent speakers from different parts of
the State were present, and that
some Of them might be expected
to address the meeting. First, he
called for the Fret Vice President
of the Historical Society. He
not presenting himself the sd, 18th,
5th, 9th, 9TH, &c. Vice Presidents
we're called, all of whom failed to
respond. Then all the officers in
a body. and finally. any and all the
members of the body were request
ed to come forward. Hon. G.. c.
Sturgiss, being the only member
at hand, he was promptly called to
the stand and took charge Of what
then promised to be a scout O.
bushwhacking experience meeting.
Mr.. John Barton Payne was the
first to respond to the call Of the
Chairman. His remarks were
necessarily somewhat scattering,
owing to the total absence of prep
aration, but withal very sensible
and quite entertaining. The Chair
man wishing to draw upon fund
Of ideas, "Matured by age and
modelled by experience, next
called upon his venerable frie nd
Ex-President Thompson, who said
that the infrmities of age would
prevent his appearance before the
audience.
Encouragement seemed to sieze
upon the Chairman, who frequent
ly called out "Josie" Kramer's
Minstrels, by way of stimulus to
his tagging spirits, who never
failed to respond in sweet and
pleasing strains. The Vice Presi-
dent of the University made his an
nouncements, Rev. Mr.. Wilson Of
Richie county pronounced the
benediction, and the audience, like
DR.. Arnold's notable Dutchman,
event out"
The Historical Socity will hold
its anniversary meeting sometime
during the week, probably on the
afternoon of Commencement day.

The University and the Railway.

One favorite objection to the Uni
versity is its location, meaning its
want of accessibility by railroads.
This, if it be real objection, is like
ly to be soon removed.
The proposed Iron Valley and
Morgantown road will extend from
point on the B. & Q. road, near
Hardman's switch feast of Grafton },
through Preston county, and vtd
Decker's creek to this place, with
the view of extending it northward
to the city Of Pittsburgh at an early
date. The surveys for the road are
being pushed with all dispatch pos
sible. The righteof way has been
partly secured, and local subscrip-
tions to the amount Of nearly $780,
600 secured. Eastern capitalists
have pledged themselves to furnish
the residue of the money needed to
build the read. 1t is expected to
have the road under contract this
summer.
The Pittsburgh Southern marrow
guage) will complete locating surveys
through this county across the State
via the Tygart Valley river to the
Ca,+hooo+ +,,;, rooeo, t. ;o ;otapJ
ed to make this road part of a line
from Pittsburgh to Salisbury, North
Carolina. 1t is backed by Pittsburgh
and New York capital. 1t will make
Morgantown a point, reaching Pitts
burgh by way of Greene and Wash
ington counties.
Harrison and Marion counties have
voted $25o,000 to aid in constructing
a standard guage road from Clarks-
burg north along the Monongahela
river with view to connecting at
Fairchance with the Southwest Penn
sylyania road, or at Brownsville with
the Pittsburgh, Virginia & Charles
ton road, both branches of the Penn
sylvania Railway Company's road.
Active negotiations are going on
with the latter company for financial
aid with fair prospects of success.
With any or all of these roads
completed the University will be
made easy of access from all parts
of the State.
No less an authority than the Sec
rotary of State, Mr. Blaine, recently
said, in view Of the construction OF
Railways now proposed in this State,
that ''better openings for young men
were nearer at hand in West Virginia
than in any ofthe Territories. Let
young West Virginians dedicate
themselves to the development of the
State, and fit themselves to fill these
openings"

A Cheerful Political osstlool.

In the States where the Democra-
cy has been sundered by internal
discussions the gaps are closing up.
In Virginia the recent elections show
ed that the readjuster split had been
shorn of all strength by the withdraw
al of the Democrats after Mahone's
bargain with the republicans. The
republicans also desert Malone. The
Democratic success pure and simple
will be very great in Virginia. The
gaps are closed. In New York there
will be no more Democratic dissen-
sions. In both Of these States the
Republicans got into power through
Democratic faction fights. At the
next elections the republicans will be
hurled from power. In Maryland
the voice of harmony will prevail.
The leaders will not permit the folly
of fomenting discords that will lead
to the overthrow of the party. The
Democracy has a great duty before
it, and it will not weaken itself in the
hour of trial.-Inder.

crowded around TO congratulate
their successful fellow Knight. A
crown was then placed apon the
point Of the lance OF the most sue
cessful Knight, and handsome bou-
quets upon the larces Of
each Of the. others. After which
three hearty cheers were given
the Judges and the Hon. d. B.
Lucas. The four Knights. accom-
panied by the 1eader, Sir Lancelot,
advancing to the Grand Stand,
when the crown was placed at the
feet Of one Of Morgantown's fair
est and most intelligent daughters,
Miss Matte Boughncr. Congrat-
ulations poured in upon the new
Queen of Love and Beauty.
The Knights reformed in line,
paraded the streets of the town,
headed by the Band. 1t certainly
was an exciting and enjoyable af-
fair. 1t was really pleasant to see
what interest the young ladies in
the Grand Stand took in the con-
test. The color came and went in
cheeks as fortune placed the laurels
first upon the brow of one Of them.
Some of the girls were, it is sup.
posed, disappointed. There could
be only one Queen. We must also
call to mind that there were prob
ably a few Knights disappointed.
But all seemed to enjoy the exer-
else hugely. The coronation exer-
cises proper took place in Acade-
my Hall last night.
At Top. NJ. last evening a large
number of invited guests assem-
bled at the Commercial Hotel to
witness the coronation of the Queen
of Love and Beauty, and to par
take of the bountiful supper pro.
vided by the Knights.
When all the guests had arrived
the Knight of the Emerald Isle
accompanied by the Queen, each
of the other three Knights accom-
panied by the Maids of Honor,
stepped into the large and commo.
dious parlors of the Hotel. Hon
Jno. Barton Payne, Of Kingwood.
had been selected on behalf O
these Knights to make the corona
ton address. He reformed the
task assigned him we'll, after which,
headed by the Queen and hel
Knight, the guests, forming a pro-
cession, repaired to the table, which
was placed beneath an awning ir
the yard of the Hotel. The
repast was gotten up in the --latest
style-consisting of Ice Cream,
Strawberries, Nuts, Cakes etc
Beautiful floral decorations taste
fully adorned the tables. The scent
of flowers perfumed the air. A:
soon as they had partaken of thi:
bountiful feast, those who delighted
in tripping the light fantastic toe,
passed into the Ball Room. Kra
mer's excellent orchestra furnished
the music for the occasion. The
festivities were prolonged until ear
ly this morning.
The Tournament, taken as {
whole, was a complete success
Morgantown people will not soon
forget it, on the contrary, the sport
is likely to become intensely popu
lar and demand repeated repetition.
The following named gentlemen
were the successful Knights: W.
w. Houston, E. w. Bedinger,
Benz. Williams, Percy Latham
The honored ladies were as fol
lows: Queen Of Love and Beauty
Miss Matte Bolghner; FRS
Maid of Honor-Miss Mamie Hoge
Second-Miss Mollie Hayes; Thiro
Miss Ida Rinehart.

Every young man in West Vir-
ginia should bear in mind that they
can attend the University as cheap
as a second rate Academy. Many
young men now attending make
two dollars per week cover their
boarding expenses-club boarding
for the past few years has become
very popular. No young man need
fear being unable to educate him.

him as are given West Virginians.
They should all weigh we'll the fact
that they can, at the West Virgin

school-obtain liberal and adj
vanced education, at lower rates
than at any other school ofthe same
grade in this country.

THE local elections in Virginia
pan out badly for the Mahone-repub-
lican readjuster combination. Lynch
burg, Norfolk, Portsmouth and Alex
andria have given more than the
usual Democratic majorities, the
number of votes cast considered.
friedrich county, at one time con-
trolled by the Mahone-republican
combination, has once more taken
her place in the Democratic column,
whilst Rockingham county, the here
tofore stronghold of the readjusters
and the home Of Congressman-elect
Paul, has repudiated the coalition
and elected the Democratic candi-
dates for clerks of the county and
circuit courts.
The spring wheat prospects are,
considering the reduced! acreage,
highly satisfactory. In Minnesota,
Nebraska and Dakota, which are al
most wholly given up to spring
wheat, there is a largely increased
acreage. The prospective increase
in Minnesota will average twenty
ave per cent, though in some of the
newer counties the yield will be
doubled. In Kansas, Missouri, Him
DIS, Wisconsin and Iowa there is a
marked decrease in acreage, because
farmers now believe that fall and
winter sowing is the most profitable,

RoBBINa TRAINs.-It seems hardly
safe for travellers to dispense with the
revolver IN view Of the frequent At
tempts TO rob that have been made
during the last few years by masked
men, DO b In city and country. No
place seems secure against the desper-
ate men who have made such outrsges
q business. These rascals are masters
Of their iniquitous trade and 60 at 1t
with as much care ss a Lieutenant
would take in an attack upon the out
post of an army. Their weapons are
of the best and they themselves wear
the apparel of gentlemen and show
the skill Of adopts. The facts Of the
robbery ofthe train on the Rock Island
Railroad, on Friday, reminds one of
the stories of the bandits that infest
Italy and waylay the travellers to Mex
leo. There will be no safety If the ac-
tions Of these fellows are not stopped
by some rigorous and immediate mode
of punishment. The trains on the
Delaware railroad could AZ we'll be
robbed since the last Legislature made
the carrying of revolvers a penal Of.
feDse. 1t might be well for the West
ern railroad companies to furnish arms
to their brakesmen, aud the express
companies to have an armed guard or
take some measures to put q stop to
such transactions. Such robberies are
on the increase. They are perpetrated
In the very heart of the cities as well
as in the small towns and in the rural
districts. There were not less than
three highway robberies reported on
Saturday committed in daylight and
without regard to the presence of nus
merous persons passing in the vicinity |
where the desperate crimes were en-
acted.
