The Secret o Good Government.

The special committee appointed by
Governor Carr to investigate the condi-
ton and government Of the university
made their report at the recent COM
Increment. The committee was COM
posed OF Rev. j. l.. Stewart, of Cllnton,

AFTER careful enquiry and investiga-

that at no period in the history Of the
university has the general department OF
the students been better or their habits
OF study more commendable. In this con-
nection Il gives the committee great
pleasure to say that drunkenness has al
most entirely disappeared. They were as
sured by number OF persons OF extern
sive observation that they had not seen
a case OF II for years. II seems to the
&C mmittee that these good results come
chiefly from three causes:

her Russian ally, of the three nations that

the arDitrators OF the nations. IL is even
true of the smaller countries neutraIized

trality, 1t Will be the neutrality Of the

SENATOR VEST TURNS ON THELIGHT.

When Calvin s. Brice. operator OF
49, york city. had manipulated the
Ohio Legislature into commissioning MIN
a. ranresent the State of Ohio in the
IYr,tad States Senate, one of his first acts
WAS 70 lease for term of years the
house formerly occupied by Daniel Web
ster. by doing which he necessarily IN
vi,ed a comparison which was destined
from the beginning to prove most unfor-
tunate for Brice. His next act was to
brick up the front entrance to the house,
where persons entering 1t could be seen,
and the only mode OF access TO 1t since
has been through the carriage entrance.

Ohio senator from New York in his own

and OF other protected monopolies have

for this thoughtful act.
Ohios United States Senator Brlce. of
New York, went before the Senate inves-
tigating committee last Saturday and
swore himself out of all connection, past,
present and to come. with the Sugar
Trust. and we have not the slightest
doubt that all OF its other agents and
partners In n Senate who have not al
ready done so will do the same in the
fullness OF time. Nevertheless We think
II profitable TO lay their testimony in be-
half OF themselves on one side for a time.

SOUTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY.

The organization yesterday OF the
Southern Railway Company under the
charter granted by the last Legislature
Is n notable event in the march Of pro-
gress Of the South. To give even the
briefest historical resume Of the railroad
situation In the South twenty years ago

ineffective. most expensive and unsatis-
factory to shippers. most Improbable,
and. therefore, distressing 10 investors
would be far beyond the limits Of this
notice. but most instructive and inter
estlng history might be written, and, II
fairly and impartialiy done, there could
be but one conclusion in every unpreJu-
diced mind. and that would be that
tie consolidation of all the railroads
now to be taken up by the Southern Rail-
way Company. and their conduct under
one wise and able management, with
abundant capital to render the best SER
vice, Is one of the greatest benefactons
that could befall our southern country.
The work Of unravelling the complex
tiles into which the Richmond ard Dan
Vile Railroad Company and the Rich
mond and West Point Terminal Railway
and Warehouse Company had fallen was
undertaken by Messrs. Drexel, Morgan q
Company, and was worked out with con-
summate ability by Messrs. c. II. Coste-
and Samuel Spencer. of that firm How
great the difficulties were can never be
understood by those who hereafter will
only see the rich fruits of their patient
and judicious labors But as were the
difficulties SO is the triumph great and
the goal to be attained was worthy Of the
labors.
Any man who has had practical ex-
perience with short and wafring lines OF
iailroad-be he shipper or owner-will
welcome this new pfa when the best SER
vice Is rendered by respOr sible carrier
for the least money consistent with JUS
tice to the property itself and to the
owners.
Such an era has dawned here, and for
the first time will the Richmond and
EanviIle Railroad Company and all its
leased lines. ramifying through six States

consolidated not only with its own sub
ordinate properties. but with the East
Tennessee Railway system.
Under the leadership of Messrs. Drexel
Morgan & Company. whose international
reputation for wisdom and wealth makes
them one of the foremost financial con-
Germs of the world. this great southern
system will come before the world in
new light and with redeemed standing
The benefits TO the whole territory served
by these lines are manifold, and capital
will freely follow where such safe guides
blaze the way.
1t is gratifying that this great system
should have for its first president south
ern man. Mr.. Samuel Spencer native

cock discussed the battle. The ngure IS
supposed to represent him In the act OF
telling his associates that the brunt OF
the battle would fall on Round Top. The
sculptor's idea has been 10 represent the
the intellectual characteristics OF the com
mander. and not the merely physical.
The height OF the horse Is nine feet six
inches to the withers. and the entire
height of the statue Is seventeen feet.
The horse stands on a well designed ar
chitectural plinth, the work Of friend or
the sculptor. On each side is a car-touch,
bearing on one the name Of the sculp-
tor and on the other the name Han

General Hancock is represented seated
in the saddle i'm a position which Captain
Ward. who was his aide during the war,
has pronounced very characteristic There
is no sword or other appurtenance, the
purpose being TO make the statue broad
and dlgnifed in effect. The face wears
an expression Of intense interest and the
eyes are looking out over the field. The
horse has three feet on the ground, and
one raised, paving the air. The sculptor
says that this position Is one which will
add dignity 10 the statue.
General Walker and General Fitz John
Porter have both seen the work. and pro-
nounced IT dignihed and life-lke. Mr.. FL
well says that he is indebted TO them and
Captain Ward for assistance in the de-
velopment OF the statue. 1t has taken
seventeen months 10 complete the work

Phils delphia, who are to cast the statue
in bronze, will take eight months more 10
do that. The pedestal, which IS TO be Of
