MIR. VIII SONS GOOD WORK.

The Memphis Commercial Appeal
says:
Washington and Lee University Is TO
be congratulated on having the distin-
guished statesman. William l.. Wilson. at
its head. but what a pity ii is that such
man could not be kept in public life
10 continue the great work he has done
for the good OF the people. North, South,
East and West
Our contemporary does not take the
comprehensive view. Mr. Wilson is con-
tinuing his great work. II our contempo-
rary has read his scholarly address on
the occasion of his inauguration. Il has
no doubt been impressed with the fact
that Mr. Wilson proposes, as far as he
may, to educate the young men who shall
be committed TO his care in the science
Of government with a view Of making Of
them statesmen rather than practical
politicians.
Nor viii Mr. Wilson connne himself to
his own school From the earnestness
with which he treated this subject in his
address, we believe that he will do all that
he can TO inspire other educational insti-
tutions in this State to the importance Of
training the youth in the ways Of states
manship. No man understands better
than Mr.. wilson the need OF such train
Ing for the reason that he has been In

columns and we believe have truthfully
said. that the whole free silver movement
was a movement in the direction OF fiat
money.
The Populists have not hesltated 10 say
that such was their intention I'm advo-
eating free coinage. that II was but
stepping stone TO an unlimited Issue OF ir-
redeemable greenbacks which they think
to be necessary TO the prosperity of this
country.
We firmly believe that II the free silver
novoment had succeeded and had result
led. as 1t would have resulted in disaster.
tho next step would have been for fat
money. The whole movement was a
movement for cheaper money. Mr.. Bryan
himself has not denied that fact. and
those who earnestly desire cheaper
money will not stop at one experiment
IF free coinage does not meet their de-
mands, they will not hesitate to resort
10 the printing press.
Mr. Bland is a little more frank than
some Of the others. but we have no doubt
that a large majority Of the ultra free
silver people OF this country are at heart
DESTROYS OF an unlimited greenback issue
And why shouldn they be? They be-
lieve that the government stamp makes
money without regard TO the intrinsic
value OF the thing stamped and II by the
stamp OF the government forty cents
worth OF silver can be converted into n
dollar. why is not that stamp equally
magical when put upon a piece Of silk
paper? We say that the whole argument
OF free coinage pushed to its logical end
inevitably leads TO fat money.

public life and has seen the lamentable
lack OF craftsmanship among those who
make the laws Of this country and who
direct its affairs.
Mr.. Wilson has served, his country well
and has acquired rich experience ut
Washington. He now returns TO his fav-
orite vocation and we feel sure that not
only the institution over which he pre-
sides but every other school in the South
will feel his influence in the direction
which we have named. He has not by
any means quit working for his country.
10 has simply chosen another field and
a field in which he will be more useful II
possible. than in the activities Of public
life at the national capital.
