Tho great state of Nevada Is going in
strong for ast, To accommodate the is
tic artists and to elevate the tone of her
people, she made the prize fight legal on
her sacred soil, The effect OF this was at
once seen. immigration was stimulated
as 1t had not been for years.
Fitzslmmons and his party and Cor
bett and his gang moved in and camped.
Capital came. All the sports brought
more or lesn money. Business doomed,
chiefly the telegraph business, but any
sort Of business boom Is welcome out
there Now the art sense has taken a
higher flight.
A bill to appropriate $1,000 to buy a
champion belt for the winner Of the Cor
bctt .Fitzslmmons fight has been intro
duced in the legislature. The amount is
small, to be sure, but 1t shows the spirit
OF a free. independent, hlgh-mInded and
ambitious people.
Nevada may be as candle that Is al
most burned out but she has made up
her mind to attract the world with one
mighty splitter before she gives up the
ghost,

Newspapers that complain of the
great cost OF the inaugural festivities in
Washington are barking up the wrong
tree. All that Congress has approprI-
ated is 5000. The rest is raised by pop
ular subscription apd the sale Of prIvt-
leges.
The subscription is in the nature Of a
guarantee fund. It is believed that
about $4,000 will be realized. Any bal
ance remaining after paying expenses
will be given to charities in the District
OF Columbia. outside of all this large
amount of money will be spent by vlsI-
tors, but they are glad TO spend it and are
not proper objects of sympathy.
So long as the people make the display,
at their own cost and in their own way,
a pageant at the time OF Inauguratlng a
President will not necessarily suggest
that the underpInnins of the republic is
being knocked away.

Bradstrcet's: The market remains
strong, with purchases free. when the
large business dnoe since the year
opened is considered. Boston wool
sales since January foot up 59,264. 500
pounds. The business the past week
was in excess OF 100000 pounds, over
half being foreign fine wool. The latter
included 100000 pounds South Ameri-
can crOss-bred. OF which 100000
pounds were taken by one manufac-
turer. The sales also included $4,000
pounds Australian and about 100000
territory grades. This business is all
due to the expectation Of duty being
put on wool, and manufacturers are
stocking ahead. General prices are not
materially different, and are based en-
tirely on the cost to import. Quarter
and three-eighth blood unwashed
neeces are about &c higher. however,
the range being from l7iEc down as to
quality. Teh next London auction sale
OF wool will commence March 3.

THE UNIVERSITY.

What tho Legislature Did for It-Ths In-
StItutlon Never Before In Snoh Favor.
Special Dispatch 10 the IntellIgencer.
CHARLESTON, W. Va, March L.
So much has been said In the newspR-
pcrs concerning contemplated action OF
the Legislature affecting the University
that Il is well, perhaps. to state what
was done, now that the legislature has
adjourned.
The board Of regents will remain
composed Of nine members, not more
than five OF whom shall be Of the same
party.
The preparatory department was not
disturbed. everybody being Of the opih-
lon that we do not have enough high
schools yet In West Virginia to prepare
our boys and girls for the University;
and the preparatory work Mt the bni-
Versity is OF such a high order
that here is nothing yet TO fully take It's
place.
Appropriations were made for the
building OF a wing to one OF the build
ings, the purchase OF more grounds
etc. besides for the operating expenses
OF the University.
The report Of the joint committee OF
the legislature That visited the lnlVer-
sity concludes as follows;
"The West Virginia University Is
great Institution. and the more we In
vcstiGated its magnitude. management,
and the work Of each department in de-
tail. the proudcr we were of the great
achievements and powerful influence

rately each and every department in

management has been exceptionally
good. and we recommend the proper
support and encouragement OF this In
stItutlon,"
This report expressed the sentiment
and Judgment OF the entire legislature.
The University never before stood in
such high favor " it'll the people Of
West Virginia and the country at large.

The Prs.iasnt and tAe People.

An opposition newspaper publishes a
picture OF the palace car in which Major
Mckinley goes to Washington and the
ordinary coach in which Mr.. Lincoln
made the journey, The idea is to show
that Mr. Lincoln was plain person. one
Of the people. and that Major Mckinley
gets as far away from the people as he
can.
When Mr, Lincoln wen, 10 WaShIng-
ton to take his scat as President the PAL
ace car OF to-day had not been developed.
HIS Journey was made thirty-aIx years
ago, when raiIroadlng convenIences were
in their infancy. He had no more chance
to go to Washington in such car as Ma
jor Mckinley uses than George WASH
ington had to steam into the national
capital on gravel train.
Appeals OF this sort are wasted on the
American people. who are glad for their
chosen Chief Magistrate to have all the
comfort he can get. There has been a
Euod deal OF banging at our Presidents
for using government dispatch boats for
their pleasure. President Cleveland has
been fine target for that sort of thing,
but the people have had no sympathy
with 1t.
SO long as the President does his duty
the people are willing that he shall have
the best that is going. and IL he desire to
use a government hhat not needed at the
time they are perfectly willing that he
shall do so.
And when the President has occasion
to make journey by rail the people do
not ask that he shall be at pains to ride
In the shabbisst and least comfortable
car he can find. The great American
public Is neither mean nor crazy.
