More Sensible Words About the Uni.
versfty.


The West Virginia University, 10.
Gated at Morgantown, w. Va, as is
now generally known throughout
State, and indeed the whole country,
has become, we are glad to know,
one of the first institutions of learn
ing. Since it's present organization
it has taken new life, and is to-day
a college of which, not only the peo-
pie, but the State may we'll be proud.
Parents having sons to educate, can
now have but little excuse, if any,
for sending their sons away from
West Virginia, for that purpose.
The President, E. M. Turner, as we
stated some time since, in acknowl-
edging its annual catalogue for
1886, is a master workman, and
with the united assistance of an earn
est and scholarly faculty and corps
of teachers with which the Univer-
sity is blessed, it cannot but attain
to the highest order of usefulness.
Parents having the moral and intel
lectual education of their sons at
heart should not fail to remember,
but patronize the West Virginia
University. - Fayetteville Enter

We are tOlu unat MT. Dlalne, MI
James G. Blaine, the Hon. Jas. G.
Blaine, late left candidate for Presi-
dent of the United States, has become
Knight Of Labor. We know some
thing of Mr.--wc mean the Hon. JAS
G. Blaine's habits of industry, and
therefore, the news did not entirely
take our breath when we heard it,
1t was day of great labor with Mr.
Blaine when he learned that the
State of New York had given him
the coveted majority. If that was a
day of labor why might not there
have been a night of labor? One
night of labor is u small affair, but
a great many Knights is very diff
ferent thing to any one, no matter
whether he he jew or Gentle, and
and in some respects Mr. Blaine
does not differ from other men.
The question will of course be
discussed as to what branch Mr..
Blaine shall preside over, and on
this point we beg leave to offer the
following suggestions: We suggest
that he at once be appointed Chief
of the Amalgamated Cooperative
Union of the Workers of Steal, as
this article has been very popular
with the country at large for some
time past, and especially so with
Mr.. Blaine's friends. New develop
ments in the trade are not impossi-
bic. We, therefore, cordially recon-
mend this plumed Knight of Labor
as the most eminently fitted person
in the Brotherhood to fill that high
and responsible Office. The Siemons
and Bessemer processes, and the
Brady and Dorsey processes would
in turn give way to the new Blaine
hot blast process, an invention pure
ly original, and which will consign
all other processes to "innocuous
desuetude." How completely all
other labor luminaries will now be
extinguished by this great arc light
which has so suddenly shot into
their midst.
The chief of the Mule and Horse
Drivers Association will now scarce
ly be noticed. The head of the
Conglomerated Rag Pickers will be
no more than an ordinary man.
The boss of the Bivalvular Brothers
will draw himself into his shell.
The captain of the Scavengers' Select
Society will settle back into his
Shiny sewer, Disguised with the
homage paid to one man, who only
a short time ago left the order of
Plumed Kninghts to join the Knights
of LABOR. Chief Arthur can now
learn how to shift his locomotives
from the Burlington and Missouri
River Road to the Star Route.
Master Powderly will be shown how
money is made by taking something
widely from a lecturing
tour Martin Irons will possibly
lind out exactly how many irons to
put in the fire at once, and the dance
will 60 on to the merry music of
"oh, sound the pipe and tabor,
We're the friends Of honest labor,
We're the bravest set Of Knights in all the land.
We boycott all the lawyers
And certain soul destroyers--
Wei boods, and we have got the sand

The time schedule that has just
gone into effect on the Fairmont and
Morgantown branch of the y. Il O.
Il. H., is causing the travelling and
business relations with Morgantown
great distress. II it had been pur-
posely arranged to discommode
Wheeling and place her at great dis
advantage, it could not have been
done better. For instance, the train
leaves Fairmont for Morgantown at
8 A. NJ. The train from Wheeling
arrives at Fairmont two hours later.
Passengers, mails and perishable
merchandise II any, must lay over
until evening, SO that when they get
to their destination all business has
ceased until the next day, and thus
from ten to fifteen hours are lost out
right. In these days of fierce com
petition and push, when every hour
is of the utmost value. an unnecces-
sary delay is matter of serious
moment. Let us hope that this ar
rangement, so much like the days
Of the Morgantown coach, will not be
maintained. Wheeling folks would
dislike greatly to spend an entire
day on a railroad to travel less than
100 miles, and we have no doubt
such snaily railroading is equally ir-
ritating to the folks at Morgantown.
The feeling over the Encouragement
appears to trouble the people at
MorgantOwn as much as it does us.
Here's what the New DOMINION saws
on the subject:
1--WE now have two trains per day,
but our mail facilities are in a bad
shape. We don't get the Wheeling
papers until 9:l0 at night, and they
cannot be opened until the following
morning. A change of some kind
Is badly needed
1t is apparent the change suits
neither point, and some other sched-
ule would be an improvement on the
present One.--7Wheeling Register.

Commencement.

NVmmcHCcmcmts
The one great event in the yearly
history Of a University town is the
celebration OF the Commencement,
season. There are, of course, other
events, expected or unexpected
which attract momentary attention
and interest--thesc things every
town has; but the ell absorbing
event that comes to University
town with the regularity of the
clock work of the heavens and the
brightness Of day in June, is the
Commencement feast intellectual.
1t is looked forward to from the
opening day Of school in the early
September.
1t is longed for by many and
dreaded by some---some in town and
some in the University.
We said it was like day in June;
to some it is like day in June with
clouds and showers in the evening.
Then the Faculty looks the wisest
and most learned.
Then the boys bear themselves
with the most Importance.
Then the cadets look the most
military and most like the guardians
of the public veal.
Then the town throws open the
widest its gates.
Then the tables groan the loudest
under their burdens of viands.
Then the ladies look the most re-
splendent.
Then the best clothes are worn.
Then our.distant friends gladden.
MS with their presence.
Then the country pours itself into
the town.
TO all these things the revolving
wheel has brought us once more.
To Regents, visitors and strangers
within our gates we extend a hearty
welcome. The best we have is at
your service. Make yourselves a,
home. What you don't see call
for.
Tomorrow will be the closing day,
the grond finale, and we hope to see
our country friends, as well as those
from neighboring towns, turn ont en-
mdsse. The University year of $3.50
will die tomorrow night, but it will
die with its boots on.
The NEW DOMINION wishes the
young men joyous summer vaca-
ton and hopes to see them returning
again in September, bringing with
them many more Of their brothers
and their friends; and we would like
to add, "their sisters and their cous.
ms and their aunts."
The University year has been
prosperous even above expectation.
The discipline has been excellent.
The work has been conscientious
and thorough. But next year will
be better still. There will be two
hundred pupils enrolled. The State
will become more and more interest.
ed and the University will be recog-
nized as it deserves.

MI. Manning has resigned his po-
sition in the cabinet as Secretary OF
the Treasury. Wethink West Virgin
ia can furnish substitute who will
fill the chairMr. Manning has vaca ted,
with as much shrewdness, as a cabi-
net officer, ability as n financier, and
general executive talent, as did Mr..
Manning himself. We refer to our
distinguished ex-senator, Hon. Hen
ry G. Davis.
If Mr.. Cleveland does not discov-
erin Mr.. Davis, during his visit with
his bride at Deer Park, a financicr
we'll suited to fill the place in his
cabinet vacated by Mr.. Manning, we
may attribute it to the peculiar cir
.cumstances under which the visit is
made. Those best acquainted with
Mr.. Davis have been accustomed to
name him in connection with the
Treasury portfolio. His talent runs
in that line. His character as q
practical business man would inspire
confidence in his administration, and
his general acquaintance with the
leading business men of the coun-
try, together with his experience
and observation in many lines of in
dustry would give him practical
qualification. 1t is in the Treasury
that we need practical statesman
ship. We want no theoretical cranks
dabbling with the public currency.
The Presbyterian General Assem-
bly, at Augusta, Georgia, last week
gave the evolutionists what they
must regard as settler" in reaf-
firming the faith of the church in
the unity of Adams race. Adam
and Eve, the Assembly asserts, were
created body and soul by immediate
acts Of the Almighty's power; that
Adams body was directly fashioned
by Almighty God, without any nat
ural animal parentage of any kind,
out Of matter previously created of
nothing, and that any doctrine at
variance Herewith is dangerous
error, etc. Good old Presbyterian
doctrine doesn't admit of q monkey
at the initial end of man, though
he may learn and perform monkey
tricks from youth to hoary age.
The gist Of the Assembly's conclu-
sion is that If Prof. Woodrow will
let the first parents Of the assembly

they will let alone the first parents
of the Professor in the Geological
Garden. Virgiaia Free Press.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. /.
December, all things taken into consideration
opens under conditions favorable to good
trade the closing month of the year Yet too
much should not be expected. as the near ap-
proach of the annual settlements naturally in
creases conservatism in all branches of trade
While merchants and manufacturers are ex-
pecting good year in 1887 there is disposition
to curtail operations the remaining thirty DAYS
In prices there were but few fluctuations to day.
In all staple groceries the tendency of prices is
upward rather than the reverse, and a good
volume of trade is in progress. In the prod
uce markets there is good deal of activity
and the range of prices is better than
thirty days ago most articles Eggs lead off.
Apples, potatoes cranberries and choice butter
are in good demand at the quotations While
poultry is no higher, the market is taking bet
ter shape and better prices in The near future
are practically assured. The provision market
presents no new features, but packers talk
higher prices in the near future The wool mar
ket is in strong position, although rather quiet
