AT the recent meeting of the Brit
ish Association Mr. r. L. Bowley
read paper embodying a compar-
ison of the rate of increase of wages
in the United States and in Great
Britain, 1S60-91. Wages have fol
lowed very much the same course in
both countries, rising to a maximum
in 1873, falling till 1880, and then
rising, till in 1891 the level of 1873
was again reached. Wages in the
wool trade followed a different course,
and did not make much progress in
England, whereas in the States they
increased rapidly after 1873 1t was
now found that in the limited area
of industry considered, real wages
had increased continuously in the
United Kingdom, till they stood
more than 70 per cent higher in 1891
than they did in 1860, while in the
States real wages rose with the same
rapidity till 1873, were checked, and
finally fell in 1880, and then rose
rapidly, till in 1891 they were nearly
go per cent higher than in 1860.
These conclusions, however, must
not be taken to represent industry
IN the States or in England as
whole, since it had not been possible
to include agricultural wages. Pro
fessor Edgeworth observed that
wages were now about the same as
they were twenty years ago but
their purchasing power was 80 or 40
per cent higher.-BradsFeets.
This is the view of a non partisan
and is taken from non partisan pa
per, and yet the ealamityites are busy
telling the people that wages are now
lower than ever before. In reality
this statement shows that wages are
now from 80 to 40 per cent better
than they were twenty years ago,
when the Republicans had every
thing their own way. And why are
they better? Simply because the pur-
chasing power is greater In other
words the laborer can get just as
much for the same amount of labor
as he could twenty years ago, and
every dollar now will buy as much
as 81 40 did then. This is just what
the Democratic party has always
advocated Whilst under the Re-
publican rule the 40 per cent in
crease in the purchasing power of
the dollar would have gone to foster
trusts and monopolies, and yet the
Republican party says that it is the
friend to the poor laboring man.

UNIVERSITY NOTES.
A Good start TO Become Famous in
Athletics.

1t is beyond question that athlet-
les, at the W. Y. T., is on the move.
At a mass meeting Of the students
on Friday, DR. Hartigan made the
announcement, that five or six med
ais wonld be given, at Commence
ment, to those most proficient in the
different sports, such as, rowing,
running, jumping etc Fifty dollaIs
will be given by Senator Stephen B.
Elkins for a medal. Postmaster Cen
eral VIM. L. Wilson has given DIR.
Hartigan the privilege of selecting a
medal, for which be will furnish the
money The Governor has also
promised one.
This makes Field day next com
mencement, an insured thing. The
prizes not only give the boys an in
centive to work, but it also makes
them sure Of Field day. A number
have begun training already. There
will be a large number of boating
crews organized. The two best will
compete for the medal.
This movement will show the
Board of Regents that the boys are
III earnest about athletics. and prob
ably be a means Of inducing them to
provide more suitable and ample
grounds. 1t is disgrace to the
State that the students have TO rent
their own grounds, for foot ball and
baseball matches.
The State is able to furnish every
thing needed, but until it does the
students mean to do their best to be
sin it,"
Last Friday morning, Chapel ex-
ercise was called for o'clock, in
stead of S:15, as usual. Most of the
boys expected lecture on hazing,
but they were disappointed. Intro
dueed by very neat speech on ath-
etics by Prof Armstrong, the ques-
tion, of money fol the support Of the
football team, was presented The
response was very liberal Prof.
Outright started the ball rolling
by promising $40. The President
raised" him So Messrs. Reynolds,
Ford and Yost also gave $40 9th
ers responded literally.
The foot ball team is getting in
good training. A second team has
been organized. Mr. G. NJ. Ford
was elected as its Captain. He will
arrange several games to be played
by them, during the year. The first
team will play Latrobe, at Union
town, on next Saturday That will
open the games, which will be played
for six consecutive Saturdays with
but one exception, and that is the
26th of this month.
Quite a number of boys went to
Pittsburg last week, among whom
were Babb, Cramer and Friedman.

at should please the people of
West Virginia to know how well
their State University stands with
the outside world. In the University
of Pennsylvania medical school a
student from the West Virginia Uni
versity, who has taken the special
course in anatomy, is given full cred
it for the work certified to have been
done by him. The student from Johns
Hopkins is given no more credit. So
with students from the engineering
department They are received 10
the school of mines and mining of
Columbia college with the same
credit as is given students from Cor
nell and the Troy Polytechnic. This
credit for work allows a student to
lay his foundation at much less cost
than though he we're obliged to put
in equal time in large city The
work of the law school of our Uni
versity commands recognition. Last
summer in a neighboring city in an

West Virginia Coal.

The Coal Trade Journal SAYS
"The West Virginia coal and coke
is of very superior quality. The
Flat Top coal on the Norfolk &
Western railroad and New River
coal on Chesapeake & Ohio railroad
are said to equal any other mine in
the United States The Upper Mo
nongahela coal, produced in what is
known as the Fairmont region, pen
etrated by the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad and the Camden system of
railroads, is continuation of the
celebrated Pittshurg seam. The Mo
nengahela River from the State line
to its source at Fairmont, distance
of about 40 miles, flows through
this great coal belt as does also the
West Fork river from the head OF
the Monongahela to Clarksburg, a
distance of 81 miles. The West
Fork, which is the tributary of the
Monongahela river flows from the
south along the general course of
the basin of this great coal vein
which rises on both in opposite di-
see'ions from the river thus making
it accessible for cheap mining and
having natural drainage to the river
on both sides.

/
ly Investigated.
Charges against the management
of the Weston and Spencer asylums
by some newspapers in this State
has been the subject of much com.
ment.
Gov MaeCorkle when interviewed
had the following to say:
The universal consensus of opin.
ION OF people all over the country
in regard to the Weston Asylum is
that it is splendidly managed in
stltutlon and there is not a word of
the adverse newspaper statements
which have been made about it that
have any semblance of the truth,
The whole truth is that there are
several people who are not satisfied
with the way in which they were
treated in the management of the
Asylum, and the other trouble is that
there are a number of people who
have been discharged aaa who have
never forgiven the management for
their discharge, and they have kept
this warefare up. The people through
out the State are well aware of this
state of affairs, and no honest person
can question the management of the
Asylum.
zone of the papers, | have forgot
ten which one, mentioned the fact
that one of the Directors of the
Spencer Asylum has been dealing
with himself. Now that will be
shown to be about as follows: One
of the Republican members of that
Institution, Mr.. Foster, has some
stock in hardware store in Hun
tington and the uperintendent sent
some orders to that store, when as a
matter of fact Mr.. Foster never knew
the orders were at the store, in which
he only had some stock, until short
time ago. Mr. Foster is one of the
most reputable business men in this
country, and man of high character
and fine standing, and the moment
he heard that this was done, he had
it stopped. By reason of the motor
lety of these charges | have ordered
a most careful public investigation.
This investigation will take place
ON the 10Th, and notices have been
sent to every one interested in prov
ing these charges with the request
that they come there at an open pub
lie investigation and prove their
charges. Yoa will find that the
charges will not be proved and that
they are about as | have detailed
above, Without intending any self
adultation, | say, without fear of
contradiction, that the institutions
OF this state are to-day managed as
well If net better than at any time
in the history of the State of West
Virginia"

Can't Go HOss Meat.

Bob McEldownev of the Wetzel
Democrat as will be seen from the
following editorial which appeared
in last weeks Democrat draws the
line at "hoss meat"
"The bike and the trolley having
driven the noble horse from the
streets and highways, what to do
with him is the question. 1t is pro
posed to eat him, and horse flesh is
being sold extensively in in the Ger
man and French markets. 1t can
not be denied that the horse is a
cleaner animal than the COW or the
hog, but the same might be said of
the cat, and nobody is hankering af-
ter cat meat. The horse is health
Ter animal than the average COW or
hog, but he gets far better treatment.
And he eats only healthy food,
drinks only pure water and never
touches whiskey, except when it is
forced upon him. But if horse flesh
is to become staple food the fat,
thick legged and round BANNED
horse that nobody cares about, will
bring the highest price in the mark
ct. We are afraid that we have
come into the world too late to enjoy
horse meat. We have learned to eat
frogs and oysters, and to drink beer,
things our ancestors would not
touch, but we leave "hoss meat to
posterity."

A Varied Matrimonial Experience.

Mrs. Susan d. Morgan, who lives
near Harper's Ferry, was last week
found not guilty in the United States
Court at Baltimore upon trial on an
indictment charging her with hav-
ing committed perjury in swearing
she was the widow of Lawson Nor
gan, soldier, when she had never
been married TO him. Mrs. Morgan
not only testified on the stand that
she was married to Morgan, but pro-
duced witness to the marriage, and
the jury acquitted her. The testi-
mony ia the case showed that the
defendant has had an interesting
matrimonial experience. About thir-
ty years ago, when she was Miss
Susan Haines, she married Frederick
White, a Union soldier. Soon after
the marriage she was deserted by
her husband, who confessed to her
that he had another wife living.
Seven years later she married Law
son Morgan, another Union soldier,
and they lived happily together up
W IuC Oiuc vi his uedtu SeFcD tteu
years later. She then applied for a
pension, swearing that she was Nor
gan's widow, which was substantial
ed by other dispositions. For making
this oath she was arrested about five
weeks ago at her home.
While the case was pending she
engaged to marry another Union SOL
dier, John Muse, of Washington, d.
G. At his instance she recently in
stituted proceedings for divorce
against her first husband in Hagers-
town, on the ground that the first
marriage was nudity. 1t is expect
ed that the divorce will soon be
granted. In answer to Lawyer Har-
ley's questions Mr.. Muse said he in
tended to Marry Mrs. Morgan as
soon as she obtained her divorce.
Mrs. Morgan is about fifty years old.
She has never had any children.

Prospective Father In Law Of the Duke
of Marlborough Visits in New
Haven.

William X. Vanderbilt, who is
shortly to become the fatherin law
of the Duke of Marlborough through
the latter's marriage to his daughter,
was in New Haven on Tuesday after
noon with a party of Lake Erie rail
road officials, They occupied a spe-
cial train of three cars. Vanderbilt
was accompanied by President Cald-
well of the Lake Shore railroad,
which is also one of the Vanderbilt
lines; Elk Judge Jas. II. Reed, Presi-
dent of the Pittsburg Il Lake Erie
railroad; General Superintendent G.
NJ, Beach and Superintendent j. B.
Yohe.
The Bellevernon branch road is
being extended to Fayette City, un-
der the direction of the former Gen
eral superintendent of the Lake Erie,
aud also of the Pittsburg Division of
the Baltimore 81 Ohio, E. +. Hol-
brook. The extension has been
very difficult one, having cost over
$500 a mile, and one of the objects
of the trip up the Monongahela, be
yond the mere inspection of the road,
was to see the advisability of eentin-
uing the road on up the Monongahe-
la river to Morgantown and thence
to Charleston, w Va The company
have had this in contemplation for
some time, and it is thought the
visit of Vanderbilt means the imme-
diate carrying out of the plans
After an inspection of the road at
Bellevernon, the party went back 10
McKeesport and came up over the
Youghiogheny Division to New Ha-
ven. The officials stopped somewhere
on the road during the night, but
where is not known.
The visit of Vanderbilt has been
surrounded with considerable mys
terry, and strict orders were left at all
points where information was posi-
BILE to keep the whereabouts Of the
party secret. This is the first trip
of Vanderbilt over the Lake Erie d
Pittsburg, McKeesport d Youghlo
gheny roads, and all that was given
out was that he desired to see what
kind of a line he had The party

Theworkingmen, and the business
men dependent on their trade, will
bear in mind that in every section OF
the country employers have, volun-
tarily, advanced the wages of their
employees. This is good sign and
must be particularly gratifying to
every Democrat in the land, when it
is remembered that the Republicans
prophesied the destruction of all our
Industries in the event of the enact
ment of the Wilson tariff bill. Ev-
cry farmer who buys clothes for him
self, garments for his wife and child
rem, provisions for his larder, or tools
and implements for the farm, pays
only about one-half as much for them
as he did few years ago when all
these goods were sold under high
tariff rates. What he sells, whether
it be wheat, corn, potatoes, butter,
eggs, or any other product he gets
Jusc s5out as much if not more good
money than he received for the same
things few years ago. Now this
being the case is it not certain that
the farmer is much better off under
the reduced tariff taxes which are
the results of Democratic laws, pass
ed by a Democratic Congress and
signed by Democratic President,
than he was when the Mckinley tar
iff enriched the trusts at the expense
Of the farmer and toiler, and a Re.
publican Congress, and Republican
President, took good care that moth
ing should disturb these trusts who
thrived only under Republican swaA
