THE SCHOOLS AGAIN.

The Statesman editor is evidently
badly lost without its lengthy cor
respondent and quondam editor and
professor of photography Mr.. Cox.
We sympathize with him, but then
the taxpayers do not pay man to
instruct schools and in addition to
run politics and newspapers, nor do
they want q professor who adopts
low grade instead Of a high grade of
education. If the pupils, or pupil,
will not keep it up to level plane
of study, and will not take an educa-
tior, then no instructor can instill
it whether he be Cox or Carman, but,
that is no reason why any pupil
should be folsted on the public, with
a full dress certificate, when in re-
alltyit is q lie, and they are only half
shod and half dressed in culture or
education. tits question of quality,
and not thin, gauzy mirage that is
wanted in the schools, and it is this
kind of quality that people want,
just as they want q high grade Of
either stock, products and -four,
and not q low grade. We have
never met Professor Carman but
once, and that was mere introduc.
ton, and presume that he does not
bother editors, as his time is, or
ought to be taken up with his pro-
fessional duties. II reminds us of
q remark that we once heard of
preacher to wit: If he spent his
time gossiping at stores and not in
study he would preach very poor
sermons. So with a teacher, let him
attend strictly to his business, not
run newspapers, politics, teach ortho-
graphy to the old gray headed citi-
zens and taxpayers-but teach the
echool-a gosling should know that
much.

SUGGESTION TO PENNSYLVANIA.

Quay, as is well known, won in
Pennsylvania and did so without the
aid of Senator Cameron, and there is
a grave doubt Of the reelection of
Mr.. Cameron. He is not old Simon
by a long shot but he is powerful in
wealth and has had large experience.
But civil service hardly means life
service, and we beg leave to suggest
to our Pennsylvania friends the
name of brainy man, in every way
qualified to succeed any outgoing
Senator, as q good and proper per-
son for the place. His name is plain
John Stewart, now Judge of Frank
lin county.

In the Mountains.

1t was our pleasure a fortnight
ago to take a tour to the mountains
of our old new State, and although
we had on several occasions journey
ed thitherward, yet we were never
so impressed with its grandeur and
beauty as now. 1t was grandly
picturesque panorama, which pre-
scented itself to our admiring eye, as
first one beautiful valley then anoth-
er which passed from our view all
too soon for you know the iron horse
doesn't pause for sentimentalism.
The mountains are rich with coal,
oil, and many varieties of valuable
minerals, all combining to make our
State very desirable spot and one
of which, (if we were not always,)
we are now justifiable in being
proud of this goodly heritage. We
followed winding Cheat River and
the famous Black Water immortalized
by Porte Crayon, David Strother,
(by the way, n native of Berkeley
county, and so graphically describ.
ed in his "Black Water Cronicle,"
published in Harper's Magazine in
days Of yore. As we ga2ed upward
to those lofty peaks of the old ALE
gheny, and then downward glanced
at those wonderful freaks of nature,
those deep ravines we thought how
much we would enjoy summer out
ing here, around this weird, wildly,
romantic, shady, sequestered spot by
the riverside, listening to its cease.
less ebbing and flowing on and on to
join and mingle with other greater
waters! Elkins was our destination.
1t is, you are aware, situated on the
W. Va. Central R. r., and is well
known as the home of Hon. Stephen
B. Elkins. The town numbers some
1900 inhabitants swho seem to be
thriving, active people. The town
is yet in It's infancy (only five years
old), and, OF course, every thing has
fresh, bran-new appearance, seldom
seen in older places. 1t has fine
courthouse, banks, stores number
ing 30 odd, and best of all it is
honored by at least q half dozen
houses of worship, among them is
the new Presbyterian church which
was dedicated last So ath, and the
sermon preached by Rev. DR.. U. D.
Hoge, of Richmond. The church is
a massive structure of stone, and ar
chitecture of superior order, and
having the sweetest chimes calling
to worship, and here let US say, the
whole affair was the gift of Senator
Davis and brother, as memorial to
their sainted mother. 1t cost $40,-
600. The present pastor is Rev.
Scott Lingamfelter, who is also
native of our county, and much be-
loved by his flock Fearing my
mountain trip may tire some one, l
retire.

WINCHESTER PREsBYTERY.-The
Winchester Presbyteriy, in session
at Round Hill, in Frederick county,
Thursday settled the case of John
T. McKown and Johd D. Gordon,
elders of the Presbyterian church at
Gerardstown, this county, against
the session of that church, which is
represented in the case by DR.. John
B. Willy, clerk of the session. The
case has for two years embarrassed
the sessions of the presbytery and
resulted in division of the church
at Gerardstown and the resignation
of the pastor Rev. E. L. Wilson,
now of Leesburg, Va. For what
they deemed sufficient cause the
session of the church dismissed
Messrs. McKown and Gordon from
their eldecships in the church and
those gent'cmoH appealed their case
to the presDy terry at its session last
year and it was continued until the
session this year. After heated dis
cussions the presbytery sustained
the action of the session. only three
votes being cast for the appellants
Rev. j. Harry Moore, OF Keyser,
was counsel for the appellants, and
Rev. DR.. F. M. Woods, of this city,
represented the defendants.
The only other business of impor-
lance transacted was the admission
of Mr.. Abner Hopkins, Of Charles
Town, son of Rev. DR.. A. G. Hop
kins, to the ministry. His liberal
views on baptism caused much dis
cussion, but only one mem Der refused
10 vote for his admission. He was
ordained at Charles Town on Sun
day by Rev. j. Harry Moore, Rev.
DR.. Jas. r. Graham and Rev. DR..
Hopkins.
The presbytery transacted good
deal ofroutine business and adjourned
Saturday. Every church in the
presbytery was represented by its
minister, and the representation by
delegates was unusually large.

National Encampment Iof the G. A. r.

LOUISVILLE, Sept. 10.-The twen-
ty-ninth encampment Of the Grand
Army was opened with fine parade
on the arrival of Commander-in-
Chief Lawley and staff at 1880 a. m.
While the reception of the comman-
der-in chief and his staff was the i'm
posing event of the day the recep-
lions at the depots of Grand Army
posts and veterans arriving in groups
were equally interesting. Special
trains arrived as fast as they could
be handled at the depot, and the To-
cal escort was kept busy.
All the headquarters Of the state
departments are open and those of
Minnesota and Colorado are very
hospitable in the contest for the To-
cation Of the next encampment at st.
Paul or Denver. While the influx
from the northern states is tremen-
dous, yet it does rot surpass the
tide from the south.
The attendance Of confederate
veteran is very large, and they are
active in helping the people OF Louis
vile entertain the yankees" The
city is literally covered with folds of
red, white and blue.
Probably the most important bust
ness that will be transacted at the
present encampment will be the join
ing of the Woman's Relief corps and
the Ladies Auxiliary of the Grand
Army in one order. While it has
not been fully determined to do this
it has been recommended and the
sentiment in its favor is such that
there is hardly doubt of the con-
summation of the plan.
The Women's Relief Corps has ex-
pended nearly 100000 in chart
table purposes. 1t works in all
channels, while the other body being
confined in its labors TO the wives
and relatives ofveterans is necessary
limited. If the proposed plan is
carried through the work will be on
a greater scale than has ever been
known before,

THE ATLANTA EXPOSITION.

This promises to be great affair
and We, regret very much that West
Virginia failed to make any appro.
priation for an exhibit. 1t will open
on next Wednesday and though
Georgia failed to take any part in
the centennial, or the Worlds Ex-
position, yet we are glad to note
that such large, wealthy and pros
porous States as Pennsylvania and
Illinois have taken a deep interest
and will have the largest buildings
on the grounds. Amity and court
esy should always exist between the
States in such matters and when in
ternationaI the Great Union should
always be there.

THE YACHT RACE.
Defender Wins the First The Second
Given TO the Defender on a Foul.
Defender Wins the Third.

New YORK, Sept. 9.-TLe first
race of series of three best in five
between the British yacht Valkyrie
III and the Yankee yacht Defender
for the Americas cup, the token of
the championship of the world, was
sailed Saturday afternoon outside of
Sandy Hook, and resulted in vic.
tory for the Defender that was, in
some respects, the most notable
known in the history of English at
tempts to build a better yacht than
the Americans could do.
The figures show that the Valkyrie
crossed the line four seconds in adj.
| vance of the Defender; that the De-
fender rounded the flag marking half
the journey, in windward work, three
minutes and twenty-three seconds in
advance of the Valkyrie, and that
the Defender crossed the finish line
eight minutes and sixteen seconds
in front of the Valkyrie. With the
time corrected, the Defender won by
eight minutes and forty nine seconds,
truly q victory which must satisfy
all America.
Sept. 10.-Valkyrie III the British
yacht, won today the second race. of
the series OF five which she is sailing
against the American yacht, the De-
fender, She won by Al seconds.
corrected time, in the sail of thirty
miles, or by l minute l6 seconds,
elapsed time. The Defender was
crippled by Valkyrie atthe start and
the race was protested by Captain
Half.
At the finish, when it was seen
that the American yacht had not
only lost nothing in the last twenty
miles of the course, but had actually
gained, a great shout went up for
the gallant struggle the home vessel
had made.
There were cheers for the victor,
too, but although Valkyrie III was
the first challenger since III to lead
over the home line, the honor of her
performance was lost sight of for
the time in the grand effort of the
Defender, for the American heart
loves the hard loser in a fight and
loves him the more when he loses
through no fault of his own.
Sept. 12.-Both yachts started in
todays race but the Valkyrie immed-
diately after the start came about,
hoisted protest flag and withdrew
from the race. This gives the race
to the Defender as the race of Tues.
day was decided in her favor. The
America cup, therefore, for another
year remains at home and the United
States is still champion of the world
for fast yachts.

Dangers of Playing fiost.

MAssILLoN, o., Ser .lber 9.-For
some time past thet 4fdents of Pros
pect street have been annoyed by
what superstitious people called a
ghost. Last night Frank Webb and
William Conrad, wishing to have
some sport, dressed themselves to
represent the ghost. Henry Ryder,
on his way home, saw the pair, and,
thinking it was the much talked-o
ghost, fired at them. Webb received
flesh wound in the arm, and Conrad
got ball in his heel. Neither are
seriously, though painfully, injured.
