Colleges and Prosperity.

1t is pointed out that there is nc
branch of educational life which
sooner feels the effects of hard
times, or usually is slower to recov-
er from their effects, than the col.
leges. BY some practical men q
college education is rightly OF
wrongly regarded as a luxury, some.
thing excellent in its way, but by ne
means Indispensable. By these the
abandonment of projected course
college for their sons is naturally an
almost certain and immediate result
of business uncertainty or financial
stringeney. To great many others
college education, hardly obtained
at best by reason of the piuch OF
poverty, becomes an impossibility
when hard times set in, and they,
more than the rest, are affected.
This year the reports from all
sides are uniform. The entering
classes at all leading collegiate in.
situations are reported large At
the West Virginia University the
enrolment is the largest in the his
tory of that splendid institution.
These are most gratifying facts,
none the less SO on account of the
proof it affords that prosperity is at
last and beyond preadventure as.
sured.-Register.

The calamityite is getting into
closer quarters all the time. His
latest bowls and walls have been the
treasury deficit (Which by the way
was caused to pay the prodigal debts
OF Reeds congress) but even that is
now gone. The Wilson tariff law
is showing more and more its value
as revenue producer and harbin-
ger of commercial prosperity for the
people Revenue receipts for Sep
TENDER not only met the demands
but made gain of nearly three mil
lions of dollars. AT this rate Mr..
Cleveland will not only pay the
enormous debt piled up by the Har-
rison administrator but will leave
another surplus.

DRAGGED TWO MILES.
The Frightful Experience of a Lady
Horseback Rider.

RocKwooD, W. VA, Sept U.s.
Miss Jennie Grow of this place met
with a horrible accident one day
this week, which will result in her
death. She is young woman about
% years of age, and her father is a
prominent business man. A few
evenings ago, with several lady and
gentlemen companions, she went
horseback riding. Suddenly the
animal SHE'D, and Miss Grow slipped
from the saddle. Her foot was firm
ly set in the stirrup, and though she
made desperate effort to free her
self she was unsuccessful. The horse
became more frightened by her fall
and started to run at breakneck
speed. Miss Crows companions tried
to overtake the frightened animal,
but could not until she had been
dragged for distance of two miles
over stony road Her clothing was
almost torn from her body, and her
head, breast, shoulders and arms
were solid mass of bruises, cuts
and abrasions, The flesh and hair
had nearly all been torn from one
side of her head and face, and she
presented most horrible appear
ance. She is still unconscious, and
no hopes are entertained of her re-
covery.

The Social Circle.

A delightful dance was given Fri.
day night in Municipal Hall by
those two popular young society
leaders Messrs. Mccoy and Caldwell
to numb Der of their young lady and
gentlemen friends. There were &c
numbers on the program and until
after ! o'clock A NJ. the devotees OF
Terpseehore glided over the polished
floor in the maze of the giddy waltz.
The affair was one of the most pleas
ant since the opening of school and
is only forerunner of many more
that are to follow.
The social features of University
life this year promise to surpass any
year in the history of the institu.
ton. The young gentlemen who are
among the leaders in the social life
of the University are not dude OF
butterflies of fashion but good
scholars and hard students. They
know that recreation is necessary and
have planned many functions that
will tend to brighten their school
life and break the monotony of the
everlasting grind that goes on from
September till June.

Who, safe beneath their garden-rock
In all connections rest
When wars and tumult's waves run

Unmoved, above the storm they lie,
They lodge in Jesus breast.

Our Savior's swift approach declare,
And bid our hearts arise:
Earth's basis shook, confirms our hope :;
Its cities falls but lifts MS nm
To meet thee in the skies. W.

ed by such blessings to the country.
how much greater prosperity should
we have been enjoying had it been
succeeded by a bill such as the coun-
try expected and voted for in 1898.
The very imperfectness of the pres
ent law pleads like the wounds of
Duncan, trumpet tongued against
the supreme atrocity of the McKin-
ley law. There was one feature, at
least, of the Wilson German bill
against which no Democrat protes-
ted and that was the repeal of the
worst features of McKinleyism. The
Mckinley lawfound the country pros
porous and left it PROSTATE. The
present law found the country pros
trate and helped it to. its feet. To
say full prosperity returned at once
would be to talk nonsense, for bust
ness when so grievously wounded,
cannot recover in a day. But it is
not too much to say that business
has been improving steadily ever
since, except so far as the Republi-
can legislation on the currency has
tended to retard it. The country
still suffers from the degradation of
the currency accomplished by the
Republicans in 1862, and will con
tinue to suffer until the forced loan
then levied is repaid. But the con
trast between the tariff bills of 1890
and 1894 is altogether in favor OF the
latter"

report, which will be sent to the gov
eminent authorities at Washington
in reference to q free Monongahela
river. The Coal Exchange in this
report will set forth the points as to
why the river should be made free.
and the Navigation Company will
argue strongly why they should con-
tinue to control its system of locks
and dams. OF course the inforn.a-
ton contained in both reports will
not be made public until it is sub
mitted to Congress. 1t is known
that both sides have submitted ex-
traordipary testimony.
The Monongahela Navigation
Company is making a great fight,
although it is believed that the
stockholders are willing TO part with
the plant if they get a fair price for
/ it, The Coal Exchange wants them
to get what it is worth, and does not
want to antagonize the company in
any way. Engineers have already
submitted testimony, giving, in their
opinion, what the plant is really
worth The value of the franchise.
of course, is not included in the fig
ures. This will be a matter for the
government to decide.
The Coal Exchange is not over
looking anything to its interest.
The arguments set forth in both re-
ports are said to be very forcible.
Tomorrow is the last day that re
ports can be submitted, aud moth

contain until Congress meets All
that can be said at the present time
is that free river is of vital impor.
