And spotless woman gave him her hand,
And the world strcwcd their pathway with

And She followed bllndly, where fond love led
And love unchecked Is Il dangerous guide.

appearance.
Children who wear spectacles are
not an uncommon sight. A well
known eastern oculist says that this
is often made necessary by the use
of baby carriages in which infants
are not properly shaded from the
sun. Many of them are uncanopied
or else have some little arrange
ment that throws no more shade
than a butterfy's wing. An old
fashioned baby cart with hood is
not so stylish, but it is much better
for the eyes of the helpless infant.

DIR. Higbee our State Superintend
ent of Public Instruction, has sug
gested that teachers salaries he in
creased 20 per cent. and that the
standard be raised accordingly.
This is II good suggestion. As
things are now, possibly most teach
ers get all they are worth, but men
and women would enter the pro-
fession if paid well. We should like
to see the Doctors suggestion car
ried into effect in the primary
schools mt least. Here is where the
most talent and learning are requir-
ed, and, therefore, the best salary
should be paid. Unfortunately we
grade salaries according to the as
sumed dignity of the grade taught.
High schools and grammer schools
are looked upon as something won
derful, and teachers all want to get
there, partly for the salary, and
chiefly from the sentiment that such
n position is more dignifed. All
this is very funny, of course, as ev-
cry man with two grains of sense
should know that the child mind is
the hardest to instruct. So in the
primary schools the merets tyro is
placed on the last graduate from the
High School. The country districts,
especially, should think of what DIR.
Higbee has said, rs the majority of
children there are small and, there
fore, should have the best and wis
est instructors. If you want good
ability you must pay for it and
when you do pay for it insist upon
it being of good quality: If our
rural friends should agree to pay 20
per cent. more salary they could
get teachers with better certificates
and the schools would improve ac-
cordingly.

The position Of the Governor seems the

Constitution conld not hsve Intended that
such a thing should be possible. They pro-

their wisdom is seen IN the assurance that
the sitting Governor will continue to par

THE CONTEST FOR GOV ERNOR'
It has become fashionable in a few days
to speak Of ''West Virginia's three Cover
rors TIE fashion viii not last long;
West Virginia has only one Governor the
man who sits in the Governors Office, aud
performs the Governors duty.
1t is the privilege Of every citizen of the
State, who is so disposed, to contest the
right by which he does this, but itremains
with the contestants to show the falsity Of
bis claim.
The contest at Charleston, in the
opinion Of the REGISTER, is simple,
despite the efforts of politicians to cloud it.
Pending the final decision Of q contest for
the Office Of Chief Executive, the hour ar
rives when that official should take the
cath Of his high office, and assume its
duties The tribunal from whose aci the
Goyeruor-elect deriyel his authority, has
not decided which man has received a
msiolily OF the legal votes cast
in the State. 1t may be Gen. G0FF. It
may be Judge FLEMING. I, may be tie.
The decision is suspended, and thus
the claims Of both Judge FLEMING and
Gen. GoFF are left in absyancs.
Gen. GoFF qualified on Monday, bat he
has rot yet shown that he has the right to
qualify. To do SO would pre-determiue
the very question which the Legislature Of
the State will decide in special session.
Sir. CARR's claim is based on that
clause Of the Constitution article VII,
sec. 49,. which provides, among other
things, that the President of the Sen
ate shall succeed in ciss the Gov
ernor fails tOquslify, etc. Enough has been
said TO show that the issue does not in
volvs a ease Of this kind. It is more than
me5e failure to qualify. 1t is the failure
in the eyes Of the law TO make
= decisive election. There Is one case IN
which the President of the Senate would
have inst CAIN. It would be when
candidate who had been declared elected,
by the legislature basing Its action on a
majority Of the legal vot,s, refuses or
reglects TO take his Office. Prssiden,
CARR's right would have been unques-
toned bad such a complication arisen.
Gov. Wilson's claim is by virtus of the
Constitutional provision, that tn, Governor
shall serve until his successor has bee9
elected snd qualified. There is no proof
that a successor has been elected. Ger

CO-EDUCATION AT THE UNIVER-
SITY.

The narrow vote by which g resolution
authorizing the admission Of young wO-
men to she State University, failed in the
State Senate, is sufficient to justify care
ful consideration Of this question by the
friends of education. The sprightly little
college Journal published at the University
has taken it up and dsvotes very able
article to it,
1t assumes the position that no special
preparation is needed for the adoption
of co-educatiOn. Throw the doors
open and the additional wants Of the in.
stitution can be supplied as they arise"
This would be a very convenient method
of solving the perplexiug question. 1t
would cut the Gordisn knot in an instant.
bat it is a fact, that very d On authorities
doubt it's pr5etica5ility. A letter from
the distinguished President of the Univsr-
sity. which which wes read in the State
Ssua.e leld directly 20 the de-
feat OF the co-education resolution. L set
forth plainly the difficulties in the way
and the increased expenses which would
be necessarily incurred. The Legislature
being, as it should be, an extremely eco
romical body, was strongly influenced by
this last special consideration.
Asa matter Of fsct it is within the dis
erection of the Regents of the University to
admit women, whenever it seems sdvisa-
bic to do 50. IL is fair to presume that
they have not been admitted because con-
ditions were not ripe for such a course.
Before many years the State will be in a
rosition 10 create a school of higher educa-
ton for her young women. The demand
for such education rs an excuse for .
mixed school viii be removed. Thera are
already many private institutions in the
State which supply the needs Of our young
women completely.
In the light Of these facts, is it the part
Of wisdom to take any step in this matter
that may impair the efficiency of the Uni
yessitJ? The move at best would be q
venture, and the rewards only temporary.
