A larger number of students are in
attendance at the University at this
time than at any other fall term in
its history. The members of the fac
ulty are all in high hope of its pros
rerity, and the work is going on
smoothly in all its parts. The pres
ent business prosperity Of the State
should see at least double even that
number and no doubt would if We
had railroad connections with other
parts of the State.

Some fellow who thides behind the
non de plume of a"West Virginia law
yer" has lately issued a pamphlet
giving history of the working of
the Supreme Court of West Virginia.
1t is alleged that the Court is too
tardy in its work and is continually
accommodating cases that will not be
decided for years and that after a
while it will be useless to try to get
case decided before that Court.
There is probably some truth in the
matter referred to.

A Contemplate Practice.

An exchange has the following very sensible
remarks upon the primary meeting system, which.
just at this time. come in very opPOrtsnely for
Baltimore county:
There has been In vogue for some years, a
practice In the selection Of delegates 10 noninat
Ing eOnveniions, which Is reprehensibie in the
highest degree. We refer to the practice Of set
ting mp delegate who has promised 10 support \
certain candidate. The thing 10 gcneTalIy done
By one Who has . friend or perhaps q relative
whom he wishes nominated, he then makes Il =
point 70 secure - strong . man - he can get who
will pledge himself Ia support his man, regardless
Of what other important work may have 10 be
done. Having secured his man in this way be
goes about among the voters and urges his election,
and thea takes the strong grOand that there
should be harmony among the people; the har-
mony In bis case consisting in the fact that his
man u supported BY the delegate whom he wishes
elected. The honorable way % eieeting delegates
is 10 let the voters assemble and vote FOR . good
man, 20 repressnnt them, and after his election
has been effected let such instruetions may be
desired BY the majority be given him, and By
ably bound, whatever his on private preferences.
by this system the people woald be enabled 20
vote for good men and thea vote against certain
instraetions, while With the present system the
people are often obliged % vote against q man
simply because he represents some individuals
interest whom they cannot endorse. A delegate
would then be elected 10 represent the people, nov
they are elected 10 represent certain individual
candidates. II is By this eontemptibie kssiness
that divisions and factions are created In the
party. Making up states is poor business, aud
the less Il e indalgsi in the better for the poIiii-
cal parties."

Mrs. Poteet's sad death was the removal Of an alb
dominal tutnor. Only last April did the lady find
any inconvenience from the tumor, and since then
its growth was 80 rapid as 10 neee.sitate its re-
mOval to escape certain death within few months
at most. Accordingly on Friday Of last week
Surgeon -tieneral Wales, assisted by Drs. Dyer,
Holden and Dickson Of Washington, and DR..
Maddox, Of Rockville, removed the tumor. On
the morning Of the operation Mrs. Potcet, who was
lady Of about 81 years ofage, met the physicians
IN cheerful mood, entertained them awhile on
the porch. and then proceeded 90 her room where
she prepared herself for the operation, having
