SteaQy naoltS ana Sentiemanly conduct
made him hosts of friends, and at the
age of 2l years he was elected clerk of
his county. He was afterwards elected
to fill three successive terms as member
of the territorial Legislature, in which
position he acquitted himself in manly
way, as was his nature. Billy was also a
member of the constitutional conyen-
ton and member of the state senate in
the first general assembly of the state.
In 1882 the southern part of the state
arose as one man and asked that Mr..
Meyer be made lieutenant governor of
Colorado, which was done. How he con-
Quoted himself as president of the state
senate and as acting governor, during the
absence ex-governor Grant, is well known
to you, Mr.. Editor, and to your Denver
readers.
Mr.. Meyer is candidate for the re-
publican nomination for governor, and
aud that party could not find a man to
nominate in the state who would better
please the working masses of the state,
and as the workingmen are beginning to
open their eyes and realize their power
at the ballot box, the party which hopes
for success next November will do well
to consider their wishes.
Now, Mr.. Editor, / have no other OBJ
ject than to see man who is friendly to
our class elected to the governorship of
the state, and ! hope you will so under
stand this letter. I hope the working
men of Denver will fully investigate the
candidates mentioned and that they will
forcibly make their preference known,
being satisfied that Mr.. Meyer will not
suffer by their action. ;
/ shall have more to say on this subject
in short time, if.you will permit me.
Youm for the best man, G. n. E.

forward an account Of your meeting to

Is II An Issue q?

The Republican journals profess t. be
on the tariff question which are manifested
by the Democratic journals. The Cincin-
natl Commercial facelionsly remarks that
"the Richmond Dispatch is hard Al it t.
convince Virginians that the tariff plank in
the Democratic platform means protection
TO American INDUSTRIES" Wen, we have
quoted the language OF the platform. aud
we have explained that It's declaration for
such protection OF American workinen rs
will protect them from the competition OF
foreign, low-priced laborers is entirely con-
sisteut with its declaration that all tax
alton should be for public purposes
only. We have shown also that on the
wArTERsoS theory that 1t is wrong to pro.
teet American industries the platform has a
double tongue, aud uses one Ia speaking to
one class and the other In speaking TO other
classes. However, here In Virginia. as we
have repeatedly had occasion to say before,
Il Is immaterial whether ours or the Wat.
tersonian construction Of the Democratic M
tional platform be the correct one. Neverthe-
less, since Mr.. WAITgRsoS not only persist.
in maintaining that his is the true sonstruc-
tion Of that platform. but the popular one.
we must be excused for calling his atten.
tion TO some facts or reports from Louisiana
that seem TO have been overlooked by him.
Here Is what Mr.. WArrERsoS says:
alt must be obvious TO all good tac,icians
that IL 10 the science Of war TO strike the
enemy at bis weakest point. and therefore
20 ayod pressing the Republican party on
tire TART issue would be slmost a, fatal =

That Is rather indefinite as Ii stands; but
interpreting II, in accordance with Mr..
WATTsRsox's well-known creed. TO affirm
that all protection OF American industries

Tie Educational Year.

We publish this morning series OF let.
tiers giving points Of interest in respect Of
the various incorporated higher male insti.
tutions OF learning in the State. The out
look for the educational year, as evidenced
ty these letters. Is most encouraging. With
tie exception OF William and Mary. where
operations have been suspended tempora.
MY for the purpose OF clearing off debt
rendered necessary by the fortunes OF war,
our colleges and universities make what,
I'll things considered, may be termed most
excellent reports. All OF them. with the
same exception, anticipate an increase
OF matTiculs;e> over last session. Sew
raj Lave Lad scceSS0ns to their en-
dCwmcnls; Others have such access
sions IN prospect, and the financial
condition of each can be said 30 be
improved. Even the venerable Williams
burg institution, around which cling so
many memories sacred to all VirginianS.
should not be discouraged. Her affairs are
now in the bands OF active. earnest alumni.
and the action Of her friends at their meet
Ing recently held at Norfolk is guarantee
that il will not be long before she resume9
her work OF usefulness. And what is trlc
Of the outlook fer our male colleges is, we
learn upon inquiry, true as general propo-
Siiion OF the outlook for our female colleges
srd male and female academies and private
schools. The year promises to he one OF
educational progress throughout the state.
All this l. most gratifying and significant.
II bears testimony not only TO healthier
financial condition OF our people and to the
ability Of parents to send their children TO
school and college, but TO The fact that
there i growing sentiment IN favor OF
higher education. 1t affords evidence OF
widespread recognition that education is
progress. no matter in what walk Of lie
the future may lie.
Another point to he noted in this cOnnec.
ticn is that comparison Of the catalogues
sevcrally Of our colleges and universities
for the last few years shows
marked tendency TO raise the stand
aid OF education. This i, also gratifying,
and constitutes an earnest appeal to the
friends Of education for the further endow-
mcnt Of these institutions. Every advance
menl in the standard of education imposes
additional work upon our faithful and, for
the most part, poory-paid professors. The
deSiderdfum Of our institutions Of learning
is power TO keep good men when they are
once secured, ~ paying them what they
can command IN other states. While in
creased patronage in the way Of increased
matncua,ion will 90 far towards placing
q college in position to pay for talent. no
Institution Of learning should be depend
ont upon such 4 source of revenue for
that purpose. The value OF an institu-
tion-its ability TO keepup its standard and
do thorough work-lieS in marked de-
gree In its independence, and that indie.
pcndencc can only be- reached through
ample endowment.

only feasible proposition that we have ever

q sitting down and "evolving from the
depths Of his inner consciousness an arti-
fetal language known TO nobody except

Ceccssors, he suggests that convention OF
learned men he held to decide which one
Of the living languages shall be made the
universal language.
We recommend our own tongue. There
are more than hundred million, OF people
whose vcrnacugr is English, and these
people are distributed all over the globe
In Great Britain there are 3J,000,0O0. In
the United States nearly G0,0O0,000. In
the Dominion OF Canada 100000. In
Asia, the islands Of the ocean. and in
British possessions elsewhere, other
millions. Why rot Use these many
millions as base OF operations? In fact,

ever finds himself In any place where he

Railroads and telegraphS are making the
globe very small compared with what it
used to be. 1t will inevitably result from
these and other causes that mankind will
have universal language, if not, as Gen.
eral GRANT once suggested, a universal
