Not Pleased With the Action of the Ex-

COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 30.-The determi-
nation of the executive board of the United
Mine workers and presidents of state or
ganizations to defer the surike in the in
terest of the eight-hour labor day does not
seem to have been definitely settled even
among the miners of Ohio. The executive
board made proposition to Ohio operators a
to continue Mt the old rate for mining and
accept the nine-hour day for the year be-
ginning tomorrow. Operators refuse to
accept unless they can have assurance tina t
the agreement will not embarass them to
such an extent that competing fields like
Illinois and Pennsylvania will beat them in
the market Ohio miners convened this
morning and are considering the matter.
Some of the miner delegates representa- q
strong districts are disappointed over th e
action OF the executive board in postponin q
the strike for the eight-hour day.

WASHINGTON, April 30.--There is good au-
thority for saying that the United States
has not had any negotiations with France
respecting the Mole St. Nicholas. The
squadron OF evolution was not sent to Port

naval demonstration. An effort was made
by representatives of this government to
secure Mole St. Nicholas by purchase or
otherwise, but these efforts, it is learned,
resulted unsuccessfully.

Came to = Later Conclusion

PrrrsBuRa. April 3o.-Late Tonight the
master builders concluded not to lock out
other trades and the. result will be that
all will work on present contracts until
they have gone as far as they can without
carpenters. when they will find themselves
,T simply unable to proceed, not locked out.
The master builders determined on this
move to protect the builders in other cities
and so trades outside the carpenters could
not have pretext for striking for eight
hours and thus causing the movement to
spread. Reports from many towns in this
section say carpenters generally are strik-
ing for eight hours and indications noint
to the strike spreading rapidly.

THE -prohibitlonists have aroused
antagonisms which will put an end to
their political strength. Their lnsolence
in the past has been almost unbearable
and to them is due the fact that the pro-
hibitionists developed any strength at
all In this state. The custom they had
of demanding specific answers from can
didates for the legislature accompanied
with a threat in case the answers were
not satisfactory, was not calculated to
make them friends or commend their
case strongly to those predisposed IN
their favor through principle. Now they
advertise the names of those democrats
who voted against the repeal of the local
option law and those who from absence
or other cause did not vote on the ques-
ton at ALL The purpose is to prevent
the reelection of any OF these men. That
is every principle of democracy is to be
subordinated to the one idea advocated
by these men.
This dictatorial attitude is due to the
fact that in the past candidates have sub
mitted to the inquisitorial practices of
these men and thus tacitly acknowledge
ed allegiance to their interests. There
is no more danger of prohibition being
carried in this state than there is that
the heavens will fall. Ifanything could
bring it about it would be such proceed
ings as those at GAINESVILLE.
Insolence never makes friends and Of
ten provokes enmity even in those who
are inclined to be favorably disposed.
For instance; the people of Manitowoc
county will hardly yield ready obedience
TO a demand coming from GAINESVILLE
that it select representatives who will be
the tools OF men who want to prostitute
the party to their own selfish ends. The
complaint the prohibitionists make that
brewers and liquor dealers outside of
Milwaukee are no longer standing by the
organization should be a warning instead.
The brewers and liquor dealers outside
of Milwaukee realize that such intemper-
ate proceedings as those of the conven-
ton at GAINESVILLE might cause a very un-
pleasant reaction.

metic. But this state of affairs is not
peculiar to the Wisconsin University.
There are many graduates of the boosted
colleges of the East who are unable to
solve some of the more difficult problems
in common school arithmetic. Even
the Michigan University with its splen-
did reputation furnishes its full quota
of weaklIngs in the elementary branches
among its graduates. 1t is the system
of admission not the institution which Is
TO blame for this state of affairs. To the
high schools of the state is to be charged
much of the odium which attaches to the
University, unless it be deemed an otfense
to assume that the high schools do fully
what they assume. The candidate who
andergoes an examination for admission
does not find that the bars are let down
to any considerable extent. The writer
examined an applicant from this county
within the last two years who sought
admission to the University. On the
branches required this applicant could
teach majority of the graduates whose
high school diplom as were an open ses-
anne. Still he was conditioned and pro-
perly so.
The teaching ability" which is sine
qua non in the common and high schools
has not the same field for exercise in the
college where mature minds are trained.
1t is scholarship which counts there
There is no denying the fact that the
faculty of the Wisconsin University are
lacking in that individuality which
leads to Independent investigation.
But the environments are largely re-
sponsible for this. There is an isola-
| ton from intellectual currents, narrow
ness in the surroundings which are fatal
to full intellectual expansion. The petty
criticisms of the state department fur
nishes an illustration of the atmosphere
which surrounds the University and
tends to check its development.
| 1t is unco mmon thing for men to
| decry things which excite their envy. If
| the value of a college course can be belittl-
ed in popular estimation, the lack of col
| lege training will not be unfavorably COM
mented upon. To judge a college or
university by the standard proper for a
ward school, and with experience not ex-
tended beyond the latter, must startle
more for the egotism manifested than by
| the conclusions reached. Five months
experience as state superintendent, hav-
ing merely incidental relations with the
State University will hardly justify the
dictatorial attitude of Mr.. Wells or in
vest his opinion of President Chamber
| lain with the sanction of authority. In
deed there are many who will not even
concede it the intangible merit of being
well -informed.' Haste to criticise an in
institution such as the University may
be excusable in a man of large experience
and broad scholarship, for the reason
that he could form correct judgment
on comparatively slight examination; but
it may well be doubted that such man
would do So Fools rush in where
angels fear to tread
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1891-07-02

THE State University is now under
going somewhat critical investigation,
caused by the report Of the board of
visitors and that peculiarly IN the
state superintendent which leads him
to believe that independence and abil-
ity are best shown by truculent
manners. So far as the report of the
board OF visitors is concerned the uni
versity has no cause of complaint as
similar reports might truthfully be made
of every like institution In the land.
Visiting committees too often perform
their duties in perfunctory manner and
dwell only on the good features of the
institution they inspect. 1t is rarely
that defects are revealed When they are
it is not always the institution most de-
serving of censure whose shortcomings
a-e exposed. Yale and Harvard could
furnish material for most scathing re-
port if either or both were scanned by a
censorial eye. Indeed, West Point, which
seems to have been taken as the standard
OF excellence by the visiting committee
OF the Wisconsin University, derives
much fits glory from the enchantment
of distance. The reputation of West
Point, even in mathematics. rests more
on tradition than upon the work it is ac-
complishing. Proportionately. there is
much more mediocrity graduated from
West Point than from the Wisconsin
State University. The latter has hardly
attained to the dignity of a university as
yet To make 1t such under existing con-
ditions would be to impair its usefulness
as the head of the educational institu-
tions Of the state. 1t cannot be compar-
ed with Johns Hopkins for the reason
that its functions are dissimilar and will
remain so until the educational needs
of the state demand university as its
educational head instead of q college.
There can be no doabt that many grad
mates of high schools which are on the
accredited list are wholly unfit to begin
a college course. There are many uni
versity graduates who have no real know
