Awarding the Monongahela Dams.
Pittsburg Times.

The contract for building the six
new dams ON the upper Monongahela,
which had TO be re-let owing to the
failure of former bidder TO furnish
bonds for the work, will go to c. /.
Mcdonald, OF Pittsburg, for 5000, Sl4,
unless some unforeseen obstacle pre-
vents. The price is regarded as low,
but the bidder is no novice, and hp
probably knows what he is doing
Taking that much for granted, the
unfortunate delay which followed the
failure of the other bidder to qualify
for the job may now be looked upon
as at an end. With reasonably good
luck the contractor may be ex.
pected TO set TO work fairly early In
the season, and to make rapid head
way on his job. The time OF finish
ing is not so particular. 1t is the be-
ginning that is important. For half
a century il has been the dream OF the
West Nirginian that he might some
day have water transportation to get
his coal out to market. Now the day
is in sight when the river will bear
away his fleets and bring back the
money that will unlock the great
treasure house that Nature has con-
cealed among the mountains OF the
upper Monongahela and its tributar-
les. West Virginia is probably the
most richly endowed OF all the coal
States OF the Union. Perhaps no.
where else in the world is there such
another body Of valuable bituminous
coal. The Fairmont coal and the
Fairmont coke, hampered as they are
by their distance from the world OF
industry, are chasing hard after the
famous product of the lower valley.
When the new dams are finished and
the mines Of the Falrmont region are
opened TO the market, and with easy
access, West Virginia will begin to
know what prosperity is, and what
the lavish hand of Providence has
done for that favored section

Is said 10 Have "a Master in Uxytuber-
culine.

The Royal Academy of Medicine at
Belgium has designated DR.. Van
Lair to make an examination OF DR..
Hirschfielder's oxytuberculine, which
he claims cures consumption. The
formula briefly stated is veal soaked
i'll water and its juice then boiled and
filtered. Glycerine, peptone and salt
are then put in the liquid, which is then
made slightly alkaline by carbonate
of soda. In this liquid germs of
tuberculosis are grown. When fully
developed, the liquid with the germ
is boiled and filtered, and the result
ant liquid is tuberculine. This
forms the basis of Hrschfelders
preparation. Peroxide OF hydrogen
is added to it and the mixture is heat
ed for thirteen hours, when it be-
comes oxytuberculine. It is clarified
by caustic soda solution and bora
cic acid is put into it to prevent de-
composition.

ernor has appointed as his successor
the Hon. p. c. Eastman, of Mason
City, to fill the vacancy on the
board Mr.. Eastman is a college
= graduate and is one of the most
prominent and successful farmers OF
the State All of the State farmers
organizations passed a resolution re-
the Governor to appoint a
farmer on the Board, because Prof
Atkeson was the only representative
of that interest on the Board of Re
gents Of the University. The Gov
ernor felt that this great interest
should be recognized in the leading
educational institution of the State,
for the reason that the great bulk of
the students must necessarily come
from the farms OF the State. Three
gentlemen residing at Huntington
all of whom are educated gentlemen
and we'll qualified for the place, were
urged for The vacancy. All OF them
however, are lawyers, nd as the le-
gal profession was already largely
represented on the Board OF Regents,
the Governor deemed it proper to Sc
lect man from some other walk in
life than that of the legal profession.
There can be no question as to the
fitness of Mr.. Eastman In addition
to the fact that he is an educated
gentleman, he has long been promi-

ken of them that no effort was made
at all TO get the returns last night
and consequently every one was in

morning papers came in. This is
the first election in years that has
seen such condition here. The 9th

STRIKES SETTLED.
The Miners Of the kanawha Are Gran
ted Terms.

Charleston, Nov. 1.-THE strike of
the miners IN Kanawha and Fayette
counties is settled, and thus the
last of the labor troubles in West
Virginia disappear. Labor Commits
sioner Barton, who has been here for
the last two days in consultation
with Governor Atkinson, received
information by wire this morning
that the operators at Montgomery
and in the New River district had
arranged matters with the strikers;
that two Of the largest mines would
resume operations tomorrow, and
that all the other mines would be
opened on Monday with union men.
The strike was for the recognition
of the union, which has its strongest
hold in that section, and up to late
last night serious trouble was antici-
pated The terms of the settlement
are that the operators will employ
the union men and recognize them
as such, but reserve the right to
employ non-union men with them in
any of their mines should they choose
TO do so. The miners have agreed

current as moral books for the young:
but the phrase actually describes the

Gently appointed To the headship OF
the West Virginia University. More
remarkable still, DR.. Raymond's re-
markable promotion has been achiey-
ed within twenty years. In 1877 he
was selling papers in the streets OF
Chicago. Then he found a place as
office boy with George NJ. Pullman,
udied shorthand and became Mr..
Pullman's private stenographer. A
business career seemed to be before
him, but he preferred u college edu-
cation and worked his way through

tary TO missionary bishop, and his
Unsuitable thirst for knowledge went
with him. While in India he learned
Sanskrit. On his return to America
President Harper offered him some OF
the extension" work Of the Univer-
sity, and from this he went to the
University Of Wisconsin as professor
OF sociology. His recent promotion
makes him, at twenty nine, the
youngest college president in the
United States.

HAPPINESS BY COMPARISON.

To the visitor from America, whose
impressions of Liverpool are derived
from the Mersey, with its miles of
crowded docks, its stately st. Georges
Hall and the notable structures that
occupy Lime street, its galleries, mu-
seums, and great free library, the city
seems, as it really is, magnificent.
But leaving the handsome residence
and business quarters and going
down to the docks and the quarters
where the lockers live, the visitors
ideas will soon change. Here at al
most any season he will find from
10000 to 10000 wre.ched men on
whom hunger has set its mark, wait
ing for casual employment, or the
remote chance of being taken on the
regulardock force. AS consequence
OF this stern competition labor is
cheap and where so many men are
waiting for chance to earn food for
themselves and families, the tenure
of employment is extremely precar-
ious. The general result is that
large portion of the lockers are al
ways within quite measurable dis
tance of starvation. Out of popula-
ton of 1859 persons 272,372, &C.
cording to DIR. Rentoul Of Liverpool
receive aid from medical charities.
Even the better class, those who pay
$75 or $3.50 year rent for their cot
tages, are usually stranded by brief
spell of sickness or lack of work.
Much the same condition of affairs
prevails in most other European
cities, the good times" of the labor
ers there being such that most Amer
lean laborers would quit work on
general strike were American employ
ers to treat them in the same way.
When the American laborer, there
fore, stops for a moment to compare
his lot in this land of opportunity
and plenty with that of the most
favored laborers in most countries of
the Old World, he will wonder he has
not been congratulating himself in
stead of repining. Comparison of
this sort is not only philosophical
but tends greatlyto cheerfulness and
contentedness with ones lot, while
not at all tending to that happy-go-
lucky kind of cheerfulness immortal
lied by Steele in one of the charming
essays of the Tattler. Human de-
sires always outstrip human capaci-
ties. They can never be fully graft
fed, and happiness, if the old philos-
ophers and Sacred Writ be our guide,
is as near the grasp of the lowliest
laborer as of the king upon his
throne.

CARD FROM REV. E. J. FELT.

apparently prevailing in the East con-
corning my suspension of the work of
the ministry, feel that personal word
from me to the public is required, that
no injustice may be done the Universe

My resignation of the Tacoma pas tor

cations requiring from me such attention
and action as render it impossible, for
while, to do justice to pastoral work. 70

Our WniversaIist Easter.
Oak Park. Ill.

WE had the largest congregation at
any Easter service during the present
pastorate. Easter lilies, with their pure
white petals and delicious fragrance,
speaking language which we need but
to understand and rightly interpret to
furnish proof of immortality. The SER
mon, on the topic, 1.-THE Life That is to
Come" was an attempt to set forth what
we may nationally expect to be the char
acter and conditions of the future life.
In the Sunday-school the regular les
son was omitted and special exercises of
song and recitation suitable to the day
we're held. Members of the infant class
and adults took part in the program,
which was designed to impress the sig
nificance of the day on all.
The collection was only slightly in ex-
cess of the amount pledged to the State
missionary work, leaving little for the
General Convention. AS we do not
want to be wholly delinquent, another
collection may soon be taken for this
purpose. The communion was observed
at special afternoon service.

THE SUPREME MOTIVE.

MAN is a moral being and must
act from motives. He cannot act
without a motive for every intelligent
and rational being must have rea-
son for his action. To act without a
reason is to act blindly and irration-
ally.
The motive is not the cause, but
the occasion for action. Man him
self is the responsible cause of his
own actions, but motives present the
necessary conditions and occasions
without which he could not act. but
for which rational, moral and respon-
sive action would be impossible. Just
as light is not the cause but the nee
essary condition of vision; as the at
mosphere is not the cause but the
condition of respiration; so motives
are not the cause, but the occasions
and conditions of human action.
They present reasons for, and in
ducements to action, but man can
