Satisfactorily Adjusted to All Concerned.
Special Dispatch to the Iutelligencer.
MoRGANToWN. W. Va, April H.
The board OF regents, after a, short but
busy session, adjourned yesterday at
noon. Much OF the business receiving
attention was of minor Importance, the
weIghtier matters being left over until
the June meeting.
The following orders relating to the
much discussed attendance upon chapel
exercises were among the most import
ant ones passed:
Resolved that the following shall be
standing orders of the board and so
into effect from date:
1.-THE first recitation hour OF the uni
VersIty shall begin at St6 a. IN.
2-That all students Of the university
shall assemble In Commencement hall
at 1Ol5 a, M, each school day for roll
call, when the roll Of all the students OF
the university shall be called AND all
necessary announcements shall be
made.
2-Thnt after roll-call and announce
ments, any student may quietly aud or
derby withdraw. after which the presi-
dent or such person rs he may designate

else OF reading, SINGING and prayer, nj
ter which the regular class work shaIl
be resumed at 1880.
4-That every absence Of any student
from roll call shall count dGmerits; 20
dement's shall count 4 Of from the
general graded standing Of the student

from the university by permission OF
the president and the dean OF the college
to which he belongs.
6-That all previous orders OF the
board OF regents and the university fac
ulty pertaining to chapel service be ana
are hereby repealed.
This order is pretty generally mp
proved and is deemed In every way
worthy Of the consideration given 1t by
the board.
Among other things done Of more
than ordinary Importance, was the In
creaBing Of tic facilities which the COM
merclal department offers By the cleo
ton Of Mr.. Buchanan White, as an HS-
sistant to Professor Willis and the plir-
chase OF four new typcwrlting ma
chimes. This department has proven II
popular one aud most excellent results
have been obtained by the introduction
OF the course.

Greater New York.

The people Of Greater New York are
beginning toask what kind of municipal
government 1t is proposed to give them.
The idea Of a city Of three millions of
people ls very captivating, and yet 1t
does not follow that consolidation will
mean better city government. There
Il reason to fear that the city govern
ment may not be so good as 1t is now.
From the birth Of the Idea thoughtful
men have seen that the scheme is
fraught with danger II the greater
city is to have form OF government
that will put 1t in control Of the tax
grabbers at the start, the people of
Greater New York will lind it harder
than ever to shake on the venal ele-
ment and next to impossible to get good
government.
Good government Is better than big
city, and in this country 1t seems that
the larger the city the worse the city
government.

nomination for the presidency why not
let him have it? 1t would be pleasure
to all of'us to see him submit himself in
that way to his countrymen. Perhaps
he would make a better run than Mr.
Cleveland could make. but, barring
Cleveland. he would get fewer votes
than any man who could be named. The

The action OF the Cabell county Re-
publlsans in lnstructlns their delegates
to the district and state conventions to
vote only for known Mckinley men does
not mean that they lack confidence in
any of the men who are in the field. 1t
means that they wish to declnre their
strong preference and want no mis-
takes made. 1t is also intended to be
the answer Of cabeiI county to the allie
CATION that West Virginia Republicans
are likely to send other than Mckinley
men TO the national convention.
The claim promptly made that the
two delegates chosen in the Third con-
gresslonal district are for Reed has
aroused the Republicans Of the whole
state. The Third district delegates are
for Mckinley beyond question, hut it
suits the combine to claim them SO as to
weaken the moral force Of West vir-
ginia In the preliminary skirmisning,
ON a straight fight no combine man
would have show in West Virginia.
and the disposition of Republicans is
to see that avowed Mckinley mon who
can be trusted go to the national con-
vention, No others need apply.
