TROUBLE AT THE UNIVERSITY.

Almost ever since the Board oil
Regents Of the University at Morgan
town held its annual meeting and
elected the present faculty there has
been trouble brewing Although
herculean efforts have been
made to build up the institution
and though these efforts have been sue
cessful toalarge degree, therehas been
a spirit of unrest among the students
that at times bordered on insubor-
dination. Only the self-control of the
students and desire on their part to
avoid scandal prevented the de-
plorable condition of affairs becoming
public.
Matters had reached such pass
that special meeting of the Board of
Regents was held last week and an
effort was made to patch up a truce
between the students and faculty
The stringent rule making attend
arce at chapel exercises compulsory.
on pain of expulsion for absence three
times without an excuse, was modi-
he'd. That the rule was obnoxious is
demonstrated by the fact that the
first morning after the charge was
made one hundred students got up
and walked out when the president
began to read the Bible. That it was
in plain violation of the constitution
is not doubted and that the former
Board erred in adopting such a rule
IS equally clear. 1t was one of those
things which demagogues promulgate
Tor effect upon a class of narrow gauge
men and which are not intended to be
enforced. The president should have
had sufficient discerIlment to discover
that fact.
The Board of Regents may not
know it, nevertheless it is a fact that
the president of the West Virginia
University is not the man for the
place. He is said to possess executive
ability, but it has been demonstrated
that his ability is not OF that calibeI
which is required for a position O
that character. The dean of the law
school does compare with Prof Brooke
yet he holds the higher rank. His
appointment was a reflection upon
the ability of Prof Brooke and his re
tention will result in the resignatio,

It is conceded that one of the re

Of Regents, now that beginning ha
been made, will continue the goo,

to the position it should occupy a,

Queer Logic.

The Statesman apparently cannot
understand why Mr.. Dayton has moi
done in six months what Mr.. Wilson
failed to do in twelve years. Then il
is said, ''We do not wish to be un.
derstood as condemning Mr.. Dayton
for not getting those bills through
Congress because we know it is i'm,
possible. " A most remarkable ex
hlbition of candor! 1t is impossible
because there is no money in the
treasury.
This was not the case with Mr.
Wilson. There was a surplus O
funds during all of the time lie wa.
misrepresenting this District. He
himself, said he could not afford tc
bother with such triAes; that he mus
devote his energies apply his thee
ries) to (the destruction of the indus
tries Of the whole country. That i,
one reason why the people have ne
further use for him.

Mr.. James w. Poe, an intelligent
colored Republican, we'll known in
this section, has a strong letter in an
other column in which he urges the
nomination of Senator Elkius for
Vice-President While our distin-
guished Senator would grace the po-
sition and add strength to the ticket,
we are assured that he has no aspira-
tons of that character. His wishes
and desires are that he be allowed to
continue to represent the State OF his
adoption upon the floor of the Senate.
No greater burden could be imposed
upon a man of his temperament than
to be compelled to preside over the
deliberations of so deliberate a body
as the Senate Of the United States.
At the same time we are sure he will
appreciate the sentiments expressed
by Mr. Poe.
