There are no Normal schools in
this immediate section, and if they
are to be upheld from mere local con.
sideratiohs, then we have no interest
in maintaining them. We are also
aware that there has been ever since
the Democratic party came into pow
er, some who have from the first,
shown very great hostility to these
institutions, but thanks to the good
sense and discretion Of the majority,
the Normal schools still live and are
likely to do SO for some time to come.
In the Senate the other day a prop
osition to turn them over to the
counties in which they are situated,
provoked an animated discussion
Doctor Barbee made one Of his great
est efforts in favor Of the bill, but
was foored, the Senate having refus.
ed to order the bill TO its third read
ing. He had been hunting up sta
tistics and spoke at length from man
uscript. Having no statistics at
hand, nor the inclination TO 60 into
the real merits Of the subject, we
will content ourselves for the present
with saying that our legislators had
better economize in some other direc-
ton.
Professor Pendleton, as high au.
thority as there is in the State upon
educational matters, held that they
are valuable on account of the facil.
ity they afford for higher grade of
education, that they prepare teachers
for graded and high schools, that
they supply Suitable men for County
Superintendent, and that they pre-
pare "the intermediate training be.
tween the graded or high school and
the college"
Governor Mathews in his last
message, boosted Of the progressive
policy that had been shown towards
our free schools, and it has been the
boast of nearly all of our representa-.
tive men in the Democratic party,
that our schools have attained to
greater efficiency under Democratic
administration. The Normal schools
being valuable adjunct of that sys.
TEN, should be let alone. Let the
Standard of our schools be raised
higher and higher, let our motto be
restigia nulla retrorSum.

libelous sketches of members of the

taken from the editorial Cores.

tstcr." No such articles were ever
published in the Register, nor has the
editor ever sent a letter to this office
containing such illusions 10 the Hon
orable gentlemen of the Legislature.
The Register here disclaims the arti.
Giles and all knowledge Of them. We
do not know, or can we conceive the
object the Leader had in giving pub
licity to such infamous articles, and
then showing its cowardice by cred.
iting them to this paper, No Editor,
who had a spark Of manhood or
honor, would bSguilty of perpetrat-
ing such fraud. We have all along
had q very high opinion of the gen.
tleaen who own and control the
Leader, but we must confess that
that opinion is shaken since they
have so baseby attempted to do US
and our papers personal injury. We
admit they have right to criticise
gentlemen in q manner that suits
depraved tastes, and take the conse.
quences of their articles, bat they
have no right to place such articles
to The credit Of the Register.

Colonel Lan,isOll.

Col. Lamison's card in reply to the
reported interview as copied from
the Gallipolis Journal and our COM
ments last week upon the same, will
be found in the Register this week.
The Colonel says he was misunder-
stood and not correctly quoted by the
reporter. What he does say over his
own signature shows that he really
entertains nothing but the best of
intentions toward Point Pleasant,
and appreciates What little the peo-
pie have been able to do toward en-
couraging the great enterprises
which he represents. In, speaking Of
the Colonel last week we said some
things which were prompted entirely
by the interview" and which Of
course, would not have been said had
the Colonel been correctly reported.
AS it is, the improvements will
go on, we will cheerfully do all we
can to aid them, and Col. Iamison
will still be a welcome man among
US.

Republicans and Democrats.

The two great political parties Of
the country contending for the future
control Of National and State affairs
are at this time INDUCING in much
quiet speculation as to the best
means Of accomplishing their re.
spective ends. Contemplating calm.
ly the methods used in the past by
the Republican party, and the means
now put forth to win by substituting
the people Of doubtful States, we
would fall short Of our duty as a
journalist if we did not from time to
time call attention to the disreputa-
BILE efforts Of this self.same party to
perpetuate its power. Looking back
upon the past six months we find
the Chief Executive of the Nation,
unmindful Of the dignity Of his high
office, seeking indirectly to control
even the municipal affairs of States,
thereby offering a prize for converts
to the party of "great moral ideas"
Money having at all times been, in
the estimation of that party, such an
important factor in maintaining
party supremacy, the twenty pieces
OF silver are more eagerly held out
than ever to see where the Judases
are to be found.
In Texas they seek a coalition un.
der the plea of reform. In Georgia,
"free ballot and a fair count" In
North Carolina, prohibition, and in
West Virginia the same unholy ALI.
ance is sought to be made under the
special plea of more greenbacks, TEN.
perance reform, etc. In old Virginia
they aided in readjusting the State
debt by offering to each convert q
prize commensurate with the goods"
delivered, thus seducing to their sup.
port enough to turn the scales in
their favor, knowing that their sue
cess in the next Presidential election
must very largely depend upon the
lnroads they can make upon the
Southern States. How to combat
successfully the efforts of this most
INSCRIPTIONS foe is the question of
the day. President Arthur is an
adroit politician, and is slowly and
stealthily drawing around him some
OF that old pack under whose guild.
ance our government well.nigh be
came by-word and a reproach.-
Capitalization has gone on until
the government has gotten almost
beyond the control of the PEG.
pie. We believe the great mass of
the people to be honest, but being
absorbed in business under the high
pressure system of the day, look upon
themselves as very unimportant fac
tors in the management of govern
mental affairs, and so matters go on
from bad TO worse. Again, we have
in our own midst, and in every COM
munity, a large and intelligent class
OF Democrats, who, from false pride,
or disgust" as they call it, at party
Vaccination, keep aloof from the
primaries, or county and State con-
ventions, and when the work is done,
cry aloud, eve are gone" We would
say to all such, that it is their plain
duty to take an active interest in
party affairs, because they are deeply
interested in an honest administra-
ton Of the government. 1t is not
right that they should leave to others
less capable the very shaping of the
foundation stonc-the county organ
ization. If too modest to lead, then
fall in the ranks and be no longer
drones in the great Democratic hive.

by reason of pending legislation af.
