AN APPEAL TO THE DEMOCRACY.

We entreat the Democracy to look it's
gloomy prospects squarely, but not the
less brayely. in the face and make the
best Of misfortunes by putting aside the
temptations of the demaRogues and the
allurements of free silver, and to raise
the standard of regenerated Democracy
It's guide the Constitution and It's hope

President some such loyal champion of
the party first principle of equal rights
as David Bennett Hill of New York.
Then 1t will look to the future, feeling
that the Democratic party, founded by

tho heritage of every patriotic American
will be preserved, and that it's ultimate
triumph will again wait upon time

OF Contemporaneous Human Interest.

CDIaSeH1ps>F3DeOuS Il UfTffn AnCSrpSCs
Augustin DAILY has given one phrase
TO American literature that, whatever
may be its defect as logical statement,
has taken such deep root in current
English that it is doubtful whether it
can possibly De eradicated, and probably
never will be dislodged. The phrase is,
"Of contemporaneous human interest. I"
Mr.. Daily employed it originally in de-
scribing one of his adaptations of the
piaybill. The literary critics scored the
phrase unm orcifully at the time and
tried to ridicule it out Of existence, but
1t seems that despite the irresistible
conclusion that no play could possibly
possess any interest for trees Or cattle as
distinguished from ''hunan" creatures
Mr.. DAILY had filled long felt want
with it, for it is now met with increas-
ing frequency. Doubtless every enc who
uses it does so under mental process
charging the responsibility on DAILY, but
it is one of those winged phrases that
drops III like an old time friend whose
clothes are not above criticism. w agll-

HISTORY
is GOING TO REPEAT ITSELF
The Campaign of 1896 analogous 10
1881

The history of 1884 is being re
peated so far as the Republican par
ty is concerned. 1t was then that
the "Plumed Knight, with intrepid
John A. Logan, lead the Republican
forces. Blaine was nominated with
as much whoop and hurrah as Me
kiniey, he vas far more able man,
and his mate, General ,no. A. Lo-
gan, was in himself host, compared
with Hobart. Republicans shouted
themselves hoarse, aud Republican
papers devoted columns to explaining
Just how it would be impossible for
the Democratic party to ever elect
President. They tried to make the
people believe that if Democratic
President was elected. all business
would at once suspend. the negroes
would be driven back to slavery,
and the roar of the cannon of anoth
er rebellion would reverberate from
Hill to hill, and from ocean to ocean,
But there was strong element in
the Republican party that did not
believe all this and that did not en-
dorse the nomination of Blaine and
Logan. This element met after the
convention much as Teller and his
thousands of followers met after the
st. Louis convention, and condemn
ed the platform and candidates much
as Teller and his followers have
done. and finally endorsed the Dem
oeratic platform and supported the
Democratic candidates much as Tell
er and his following will likely do.
The result was that in spite OF all
the falsehoods and extravagant as
sertions, the Democratic candidates
were elected. Just as they will be
this fall.
In spite of the Republican predie-
lions of calamity, the nation prosper
ed and during the first four years of
Democratic rule there was piled up

1t might be added here that when

in the University but promises to be
very popular as electricity as mo-

! cry other power and this will cause a
demand for hundreds of young men
educated for such work.
The courses leading to the degrees
of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of
Science are arranged largely with
reference to the training and culture
value of the subjects selected; but
these courses, especially in their
science subjects, have felt the touch
of the new spirit which has made all
education more practical
The course in Agriculture is ex-
ceedingly full and practical. The
student in this course has most ex-
traordinary advantages as the Uni
ted States Experiment Station for
West Virginia has virtual control OF
the Agricultural course. He can
see the experiments that are car
ried on by the specialists who make
up the staff Of the Station and thus
make his education completely prac-
teal. Besides the other good work
that the Station is doing, it offers
these most excellent advantages te
students.
Besides these complete courses
leading to degrees there are special
courses which deserve a separate ac-
count
The Department of Biology offers
a course in advance of its regular
work, to young men who want to &C
to medical college without taking
a degree at the University.
If the students who take this
course show a proficiency satisfac-
tory to their instructor, he gives

EQUIPMENT.
1t was said of olden time that a
log with Horace Mann on one end
of it and student on the other would
make well equipped college.
Modern education does not under
value the Importance of the true
teaching spirit, the worth of person
ality of the teacher, but it has come
to appreciate the value of the best
possible equipment IN all sorts OF
school work, and especially in the
science work and practical work.

In these DAYS of specializing along
all lines. of practical teaching and
training. of laboratory methods in
education. It is useless TO ATTEMPT to
carry on a first class college or uni
versitv without monev-and a great

j for small colleges with no financial
foundation but tuition collections, is
past. The student who attends such
schools robs himself of hundreds of
advantages which he might have for
the same outlay at well endowed
and well supported school.
The West Virginia University can
offer to West Virginia boys and girls
the very best things because it has a
large income. 1t is financially able
to furnish the best things. 1t has
