1t is an open secret that the election
of Prof. F. w. Boatwright to the Presi
dency of the Richmond College, has
been received with much disfavor by
some of the students and at least part

Governor O'Ferrall was seen last
night in regard to the published state
ment that there is a grave scandal con-
pected with the selection of textbooks
used in the public schools of this State,
and that methods not at all creditable
either to the company that supplies the
books or to the State officials who
authorized their use are practiced.
The governor said that in his opinion
and so far as he knew there was not a
word of truth in the statement. 1.-THE
State school board, which consists OF
the Governor, the Encouragement and
the superintendent ofpublic instruction,
selects the books used in the public
schools of the State and the published
statement alleging fraud is the first and
only intimation of any such charges
that has reached my ears" said the ex-
ecutive. If there is any foundation
for these charges the Governor says he
will be glad if it is made known, that
he may have the matter investigated.

Can be made as means to relieve the ills

low to be profitable to those who pro-

IT Is now proposed that q course in
physical training shall count with the
intellectual courses in determining the
right of student to a degree at Har-
ward. Judging from the ability OF
many of the college graduates in this
country now adays, it seems that more
attention is paid to physical, than to
mental exercise in American colleges,
and, if that be so, why, of course, ath'
letics should be no inconsiderable factor
in the attainment of a collegiate degree.

NJ the election there last Wednesday IL
went republican by large maj ority.
That it did SO was little surprising TO
the people of the rest of the country
as the election was a local one. in
which politics and the approval or CEN
sure of the present administrator
were not involved. until they learned
that the man whose name was at the
head of the democratic ticket is mug

the reason became plain: and to many
democrats the result was just what 1t
should have been. Democracy ana
mugwumpism are Incompatible.

AN OLD DECISION CITED.-As stated
in the GAZETTE of that day Eugene V.
Debs, president of the A. R. u, and
the head of the great railroad strike
last summer, was yesterday in Chicago
found guilty of violating the injunction
issued last July by Judges Wood and
Grosscup.
Judge Woods in his decision said.
Numerous cases and text writers are
cited to show that equity has jurisdic-
ton to restrain public nuisances upon
bill or information filed by the attorney
general on behalf of the people.
1.-THE Supreme Court of the United
States, in the case of the mayor Of
Georgetown vs.. the Alexandria Canal
Company txii Peters, 91-9S), where an
injunction was sought against obstruct-
ing the navigation ofthe Potomac river,
the court said
Besides this remedy at law, it is
now settled that court of equity may
take Jurisdiction in cases of public
nuisance by an information fled by the
attorney general. Whilst, therefore,
it is admitted by all that it is con-
fessedly one of delicacy, and, accord
ingly, the instances where it is exercis-
ed are rare; yet, it may be exercised on
those cases in which there be eminent
danger of irreparable mischief before
the tardinsss of the law can reach it, "
