VIRGINIA POLITICS.

Virginia is a Democratic State by al
least 10000 majority.
The only reason why the Democracy
Of Virginia does not assert itself is be-
cause of old-woman siatesmanship.
In 1880 General Mahone saw that the
people were irritated at what he called
the old Bourbon rule. The white dis
iric,s voted for Malone because he had
educated a certain number of men
against the old idea of Bourbon rule.
OF course, General Malone and
Wise and Riddleberger and
all the gang were mere political gam
bcrs, but they did catch on to vital
idea
Now, what the Democratic leaders in
Virginia ought to do is to take lesson
from that same idea that beat US in the
Cameron Daniel campaign
Virginia is Democratic State but we
cannot hold her unless We use practical
Democratic ideas.

THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA.

We learn that the Board Of Trustees OF
the University of Virginia have under
consideration the establishment OF new
degree. or rather the adoption OF an old
degree to new requirements. 1t Is SAID
tina, the title Of Bachelor OF Arts Is 10
he offered for proficiency, or graduation
IN certain branches OF science and hui
man knowledge. The degree is to be
honorable In itself, and TO Indicate
snecial character Of study and intellectual
raining, and not, as now, 10 be taken as
next below a Master OF Arts. II is
known and familiar fact that the Jack OF
Of all Trades Is not the highest style OF
expert. "Non omnia possumus omnes
and "Cuilibet In sus arte credendum' are
approved maxims. Concentration was
Napoleon's winning policy Specialism
In everything is taken as condition OF
great success in our day. The expansion
or generalization involved in the attain
ment of the masters degree is suggestive
of the efforts of one that "beateth the
air" 1t is a grave question whether The
honor Of the A. NJ. is not a great deal the
best part of 1t, and whether the struggle
for it does not cultivate vain glorious
ambition far more than devotion to
science or large manhood. Certainly
single hearted devotion to study, love OF
intellectual pursuits for their own sakes,
love OF light, of truth, of manhood s
largest capabilities and actual attain
ments, regardless of applause are the
great purposes Of education-making
man happy in the enlightened discharge
Of the duties Of life. We confess to being
skeptics about the Masters Degree.
The new Bachelors degree is to send
out the well informed gentleman; not
The professor. 1t is to mark the pro-
ficient as an enlightened man Of affairs;
as one whose mind has been exercised
who has been aroused to the privileges OF
his dag and generation. A great author
ity tells US that "all knowledge should
be referred to use and action" And a
greater than he tells US that "the wisdom
of a wise man is to understand his way
that the "excellency OF knowledge is
that wisdom giveih life to him that bath
IT," "Rerum cognoscere causas' is the
sum OF human knowledge. Is 1t
not possible for man to scan
the course of empires and meh
80 as. at once, to feel his nolhingness
and his greatness TO learn of the ex-
papse and limits Of the world he occu-
pies; to have a general view OF the great
facts Of physical science, the philosophy
of history, without being qualified to lee
ture on the subject.
Hitherto learned institutions have too
much magnified the mysteries, and learn
ing aud practice have kept too much
apart. The learned man, conscious OF
his ignorance, has been afraid OF the
business man; and the business man,
awed by learning, has been afraid of the
man of books. If our Bachelors degree
shall help TO the production OF intelli- |
gent and sensible gentlemen, who are
not afraid of literary titles aud know
the use of books as well as men; who
will exempIfy, in the enjoyment Of a
higher style of life the great advantages
OF intellectual training and useful knowl-
edge, our university will have done a
great thing.
