STATE UNIVERSITY.
President wins:on's Annual Report to the
Trustees.


The annual report of the president
of the State University is an excel
lent one and interesting. 1t was sub
mitted TO the trustees Last Friday in
Raleigh. During the term 385 stu
dents have been enrolled, those from
this State numbering 352, or So more
than the greatest enrolment in the
history of the University. Three
years ago there were only 196 stu
dents. The growth of the UnIversi-
ty is seriously hindered by the lack
of dormitories. In every room in the
buildings there are nov at least two
students, aud many room III the vii
lage. There is also need Of COM
mon hall, providing good food at So
or 81 month. A second story add
ed to the gymnasium would serve the
purpose. There Is also need of a Y.
NJ. C. A. building. The need of
more teachers, is urgent, in fact they
must be provided for. The student
body has during the year shown a
very marked capacity for self govern
ment. There mas, no. been a serious
case of dicipline, and there has not,
In DR.. Winston's twenty-elght years
acquaintance with the University,
ever been less vice, or drunkenness or
disorder all this has been brought
about by the harmonious co-opera-
ton of the faculty and students.

FIrst-All money, silver, gold, or
paper, should be issued by the gen
eral Government, and should be legal
tender for all debts, public or pri-
yate.
Second-All money should be
based on a real estate security which
can neither be lost, stolen or destroy
ed.
Third-No money is of use to a
nation, as a medium of exchange,
until it is in the hands of the peo-

FOurth-Most men are better cit
lzens if they own portion of the
real estate of the country.
To secure these ends | make the
following propositions:
Frst-Let the general Government
issue all money. silver, gold or paper,
in >ach quantities as the needs of the
people map require, the amount to be
determined by congress, making it a
legal tender for all debts, public and
private, making the money redeema-
Die In either gold or silver bullion,
at the option of the government, at
the market value of the bullion on

to be pre- sented.
Second-Let no paper money be
issued that is not secured by bond
and mortgage on unincumbered real
estate.
Third-Let the government loan
this money to the several States, in
proportion to the assessed value of
their real estate, taking the bond of
the State for security, and charging
them one per cent. interest per an
mum for the same.

not less than two years nor more than
six years.

After consultation with Bro. WOrth.
We have concluded best to change our
shipping plans. 1t is this: To
furnish the Subs with a stronger cas-
or crate and have them TO ship to
Raleigh under their guarantees here

crates and the crates sent from Subs.
to be returned TO them. The cost Of
crates by this means will be Of less
expense to Subs, as only four or five
will be needed during the year by
them. The expense of handling will
be as much, but we think by this
means we can protect you, and per
haps can ship much more adyanta-
geously and to any market We may
see fit. The Subs. will use the slips
as now, and from this office We can
catch up with those who DO not care
how they ship, and they only will be
the sufferers. We propose that ~"
eggs shall 90 into market as fresh
eggs that are not. All small and
damaged eggs will be discarded and
will be sold here at what will bring
BY this means We can protect each
| shipper and protect the Alliance eggs
and soon be able to put them on the
some footing as heretofore In North
ern markets, and secure continually
the best prices. Eggs should not b.
over week old and should be KEEP.

end in packing Would be 9 lad t"
hear from our shippers IN regard to
this arrangement.
Under our present method, l see
no possible chance of getting our eggs
back to the high standard they Occu-
pied one month ago and keeping
them there under this plan propose Il
| see no reason why 1t cannot be
done in short time. Poultry and
all products are low. | be eve that
we have secured the best houses for
shippers in the cities named. AT
present no firms stand higher than
those we will direct shipments to.
The firm in Baltimore that several
of our brethren have shipped poult-
ry to and lost by them, learned had
become very untrustworthy anu
could not be depended on. Fin
poultry was only bringing 9, 10 cents;
extra, sometimes II. Parties want
ing to ship will be furnished ship
ping directions on application to Bro.
Worth. The plan will be put int"
effect as soon as possible, but until
notified, continue to ship as hereto
| fore.
To sum up the whole matter, will.
say that ne one can now say what VT
get for our eggs. No regular price
can be secured until every packag
is as guaranteed. That we have had
a terrible setback in prices by our
own CarelessneS cannot be denied;
that we can never secure the highest
prices for any class of goods unless
we put them in first-class condition.
The merchants who handle our goods
are not fools, and they do not care
to handle goods which are not as re-
presented. DO not ship eggs to this
market. 1t will not pay. Will let
you know as soon as we are III con-
dition to handle them here.
Fraternally,

howl of derision that would greet
Hampton's declaration of 1877 Of

1892 and vindicate the honor and
manhood of the people. Our people
are brave and virtuou5; they are hon

conscience rich in maxims of moral

nifty. They have been misled, de-
ceived, betrayed, tritle with. insulted.
"Machine" domination has reduced
them to poverty and made them po-

A WORD TO POPULISTS.
w. S. BARNES

From our location here at Wash
ington we are enabled to ascertain
many items of Importance that can
not be obtained elsewhere. Among
the very important pointers, especial
ly to Populists, are the extraordinary
preparations being made by both the
old parties for the coming campaign.
Never before have such early and
elaborate preparations been made for
"a congressional election. Both old
parties have headquarters here, with
d full compliment of help, and both
have printing Office Of their owp
and under their control. In fact,
campaign documents are now being
printed and sent out 10y the hundreds
of thousands. Now, what does this
all mean? Why this early and vig-
orous campaign ? 1t is because both
parties are fearful that the next
President will be selected by the
House of Representatives. This is
the long aud short of it. They will
talk in the most insulting manner
about the decay of the PopuliSt par
ty. They will print the most out
rageous falSehoods about its fading
members, and at the same time make
their extraordinary preparations fol
checking its rapid growth. They
know our strength far better than VT
do ourselves and are making ready
in advance to meet the emergency
Now, let every Populist take courage
and begin the struggle anew. Lee
each one from now until the poll;
close next November make hghI
for life. The battle is now on anc
cannot be avoided. Cowards, era
vens and traitors must be driven ou
and none but the true and tried
placed on guard. Let there be ut
side-tracking in this fight. Let i
be demonstrated once for all whethe1
the man or the dollar shall rule il
this nation. Begin the campaign
now, begin it at once. Go after tn,
common people, bring them to /;
sense of their true conditions. LIE
the politicians alone. The Demo
cratic politicians of the South ar
cravens and pie hunters; they vii
do anything to contipge n office
The republican politicians of tn
West are no better, but far NOR
shrewd. The entire East is agains
us. save few brave and NOBLE men
eontending against great odds. LIE
all such men as Bryan, Bland, VOL
cott, Livingston, and Daniel alone
their friendship ls blighting ali
their assistance will never be re
ceived. Begin to hold meetings
; organize clubs, send for literature
subscribe for papers, and make th
: country feel the power of renewe

Now that the cuckoo is abroad in
the land the definition of the Demo
cratic insect given by the Democra-
TIC New York Sun Is interesting:
''A political cuckoo is ii man who
5 wilIng 10 defend an unworthy po-
iiucal cause, not because he believes
III 1t, but because he hopes, by SO do
tng, to- curry favor with some indi-
vIdua! in Office, whose personal COM
fort it may promote. A person by
becoming a political cuckoo sacrifices
independence and conslstence. He
ceases TO have a mind of his own, if
he had one before. He becomes, as
it were, an autOmatOn but that is
not all j.; be must attack and traduce
those of his associates who have re-
tanned intact their political manhood
and personal independence"
Ethnologlcally speaking, the cue
koo is a bird who never builds nest
but lays its eggs in the nests Of other
birds for them to hatch out. North
Carolina furnishes All emiuent speci-
men of this specie. Ransom has
made and unmade Republican and
Democratic officials, under all ad-
ministrations, by laying his eggs in
Republican nests. For twenty years
North Carolina appointments have
been incubated according to the cue
koo methods. But the fool bird re,
fuses to hatch .Ransom's eggs any
longer. Elias was forced to resign
the collectorship of the Western dis
trict-''in the interest of party har-
mony." Simmons nomination has
been hung up in the Senate since last
September. The egg wont hatch in
its new nest. The sceptre has de,
parted. Ransom and his Republi.
can allies in the Senate have got to
the parting of the ways. They draw
the line at Simmons. ..I

PARTY PERCENTAGES.---AS SIGNIFIC-
Ant LESSON TAUGHT THE FIGURES
[Waskington. D. c., Post.l

tWashingto ID. o., Post.)
s'As between the votes of the Re
publican aud Democratic parties at
the last five Presidential elections
there has been no striking variation
of percentage. The two parties,
Notwithstanding what seemed to be
at times sharp issues of division,
have kept on singularly even lines,
perhaps unfortunately y so for the
real good of the country. If parties
are to. be kept SO nearly balanced
there is great danger that none of
the policies on which they profess to
differ will be definitely settled, and
our financial and revenue systems
remain in condition Of injurious
uncertainty.
OF the total popular vote in the
Presidential election of 1876 the
Democratic percentage was 5O.S6 ;
the Republican, ~ 81. In 1880, the
Democrats cast 1920 per cent. of the
whole vote and the Republicans 1881.
In 1884 the Democratic percentage
was 48 AZ, the Republicans 1922.
In 1888 the Republican percentage
was 1870 and the Democratic 1864
In 1892 the Democrat percentage
declined to 1898 and the Republican
to 42.S4, the Populist and Prohibi-
tion vote being larger than for pre-
vious years, and respectively $40 and
t2.l7 per cent.
This is certainly strange balanc-
ing of parties, and inferentiallY sug-
gestlve tnat they are divided rather
by distinctive names and organiza-
tions, by Sins" and "outs," than by
material differences as to what should
be done for the welfare of the coun-
try"
Read the above again and see the
lesson that it teaches. 1t shows that
in all the elections up to the last one
that the parties have been and stayed
divided, not on great issues that
concerned the pocket book of the
voter, but on questions that appealed
to partisan and sectional feelings OF
! the voter.
| The election of 1892 teaches a lit.
tie different lesson. While the old
parties tried desperately to fight the
battle Oh the old issues, yet there
was new and powerful influence al
work. Millions Of voters were read.
ms and thinking for themselves
And while large number OF these
thinking voterE aid finally vote the
same t.oket as of old, yet the number
who did vote against the old parties
against more abase, ridlcule anC
pressure than was ever seen befor'
III a campaign) was enough to scat
ter the old partisan and seotioDa
lines and bring 80 the front the liv'
and real issues. And while large
par. of these voters came from tn
Republican party III the West thai
from the Democratic party in tn
| South, yet the Democratic part
ipolled in the last eleetion smalle

this, the party was victorious, but

Both old parties will lose still heay

The Simmons literary bureau pub
lished the statement that action
would be taken in Simmons case to-
day without regard to Senator
Vanoe's presence, Following this
falsehood was the sensational story,
started in Simmons office, that Vance
was dying. Not a word of truth in
either report. Not until Vance says
the word will any action be taken re-
jecting the nomination. The people
will rejoice to hear that Senator
Vance is getting well. All reports,
except those by the Simmons wire,
are favorable, indicating slow but
certain convalesence.

OBITUARY.

Isabelle Coss was born in Maryland
March %, 1881, and departed this present
life April 70, 1894, at her residence on
Scotch Ride, Belmont county, Ohio. On
June 20, lS4S, she was united with John
Coss in the bonds of holy wedlock. Dur
ing all these forty-six long years they en-
dured the cares and shared the Joys OF an
agreeable and pleasant domestic life.
Few people seemed TO be more strongly
attached or devoted to each other. But
oh, death hath broken these ties so dear,
and left husband lonely and berett.
To this union thirteen children were
born. Nine of when are left to mourn the
loss Of dear mother; four dear ones hav-
ing gone 10 their Savior's many Mansion
House above. The sons and daughters llv-
ing are al highly respected and well-to-do
people, rejecting honor and credit upon
the subject Of this obituary.
Isabelle Coss was a valuable and consist
ent member OF the Presbyterian Church
for many years. Seldom did the storm or
inclement weather keep her from waiting
on the means of grace. How sad 1t is that
those so useful to the home and church
should be suatched away. But suchis the
lot of us all; and when the summons comes
we must answer.
When paralysis was doing it's work and
she was nearing the last hours OF life, the
future 10 her was a delightful theme.
Eight long weeks Of intense suffering was
endured without a murmur.
Those who knew her, knew her only to
love her. So tender, so cOngenial, so
motherly was her character.
Dearest mother, thou hast left us,
And our loss we deeply feel;
But It's God that hath bereft us,
he can al our SORROWS heal.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When tae uay OF life has ied,
when in Heaven with JOY VIII greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed
The funeral was attended by an unusual
" large number OF friends and neighbors.
Religious service conducted by Revs. ROB-
erts and Pringle. And in the Ferryview
cemetery near Martins Ferry, Ohio, her
body was tenderly laid TO rest awaiting
the voice Of Him who shall speak the dead
TO life. Z. Z. CULLEN.

The Enclosure Seems TO be More Attract
i've Than Ever Before.


The Moundsville Camp Grounds never
seemed moro beautiful than yesterday
afternoon. as one strolled through its
shady parks, fragrant with the breath
of the pines and vocal with the song OF
birds. This is the most delightful
season to live upon the grounds; the
trees and grass are OF beautiful deli
cate green peculiar to the season, and
the birds in their eagar, watchful at
tentlon to their domestic duties, are a
source of endless enjoyment The trees
that were so closely trimmed lastsprins
as 10 excite fears that they were per-
manently injured, are exhibiting de-
gree of vitality as pleasing as 1t is sur
prising. Several families have already
been on the grounds preparatory 10
moving there the latter part OF the
month. A number OF the old trees that
were considered dangerous have been
removed, and the new ones that have
been set out are doing well. The faith
ful dogs that have kept guard over the
deserted grounds during the winter are
still at their Dosts, and welcome with
tokens of joys that only dog can ex-
friends TO them in other days. A few
cottages are advertised for rent or sale,
scarcely az many as usual at this time,
and the probabilities are that they will
find ready takers.
Your correspondent has conversed
with many persons during the psst win
ter, who will come TO Moundsville this
year to attend the Assembly and camp
meeting for the first time.
Everything so far points TO success
ful season at the old camping place, and
1t should be the united aim Of especially
the Methodist people OF this vicinity to
uphold, strengthen and extend the good
influences of this lovely spot.
That harmonious Christian counsel
may prevail to make this old camp
ground the means OF doing much good
this coming summer in the salvation OF
sinners, the building up OF believers,
and the general Quickening Of the
churches Ia this beautiful valley Is the
earnest prayer OF the writer.
