The travelling salesmen who were
SO much in evidence on trains and
in hotels talking for the gold stand
ard in 1896, are now losing their
jobs because the gold standard and
falling prices have driven their
employers into combinations and
trusts. Now one salesman will rep
recent the combination, thus
throwing many out of a job. When
the campaign of 1900 comes on
these "good fellows" will have moro
time to electioneer than they had
in 1896.

THE
Summer Quarter at
the University
Begins July | and Continues u Weeks

Glasses will be formed at the
opening of the Summer Quarter at
almost all stages of all subjects
elementary and advanced.
Teachers especially will find
courses that will exactly meet their
wants. The Summer Quarter brings
together the brightest and most
energetic educators. The atnos-
phere is charged with intellectual
enthusiasm. 1t is an inspiration
a help that no ambitious teacher
can afford to miss.
Students who cannot remain the
full twelve weeks may stay one
term (six weeks) or whatever por-
ton of the quarter they desire.
The Summer Quarter is not
"summer school," 1t is an integ-
raj part of the University year.
Summer Quarter work counts to-
ward degree the same as work in
any other quarter. All depart
nents will be in full operation.
In addition to the regular faculty,
eminent specialists from other In
stitutions will lecture.
Tuition is free to West Virgin
ians. Expenses for the entire
twelve weeks, including board,
may be made less than $50.
Students attending the Summer
Quarter may continue their work
by correspondence if they desire.

Reform i'll State Expenditure.
The expense of running the
State government, and running the
public institutions, has increased
within the last few years out of
proportion with the growth of the
State. The Legislature, at eRch
session, is confronted with seri-
GUS condition. 1t finds estimates
on file and recommendations in re-
ports, calling for an amount of
money, which in the aggregate,
largely exceeds the apparent rev.
enues of the State. Itmay be con-
tended that the Legislature should
ignore tho estimates and apply the
keen knife of economy. This it
does, but at the succeeding session
is confronted with an indebted
ness to tho extent of the deficiency,
SO called, in the appropriation
made. One of two things must be
done, and done in the near future.
There must be decided retrench-
ment in tho matter of expenditure
of public money, or else substan-
tial increase provided in the
amount collected. The best way,
possibly, to meet the situation,
is to divide tho burden by doing
both. Within the last few years
there has developed an unusual
spirit of prodigality in the expendi-
ture of public money which should
be curbed. 1t is not based or
sound judgment nor justified by
liberal economy. Not only has
there been an unnecessary eXpan-
sion in the matter of expenditure,
but also in the scope Of our public
institutions. There is too much
disposition to extend the aid of
the State beyond the limits of the
public obligation. There is not a
public institution in the State but
can be conducted on more economi-
cal lines and not cripple it's intend
ed usefulness nor unduly circum-
scribe its Legitimate sphere. In
stead of cultivating, in the public,
spirit of dependence on the State,
the effort should be to make the
individual Independent of public
support.
Public institutions, other than
those of an educational character,
should be restricted in expense, to
the lowest limit consistent with a
liberal regard for the laws of hui
manity. The question of the OK
pendituro of public moneys invol-
YES the rights of othors, and the
right of mono should be more seri-
ously considered or more sacredly
respected than that of the taxpay-
or. The money collected from him
through the medium of public tax
alton is supposed to be required
for public necessity and should be
expended with reasonable econo-
my. Under no circumstances
should it be applied to promote
the interest, or to serve the mere
pleasure or whim, of those who are

The youngest college president
in the United States is Mr.. jerome
FL. Raymond, who no further back
than 20 years ago was a twelve

way to success lay through stenog-

appointed private secretary to Pull

afterward to Miss Willard, whose
great correspondence he attended
to for years. At the same time he
studied diligently. He went to col

the chair of sociology in small
Western hall of learning. While
attending GLASSES he was never
beaten at study but once, and that
was by young lady. He straight
way married her. She now assists

PittsDurg PresDytery andLynch-

at the recent meeting of the
Pittsburg Presbytery the Rev. AL
Ian Douglas Garlic, as he stated in
our dispatches yesterday, did not
hesitate to speak his mind in re-
gard to a resolution denounoing the
recent lynching in the South. He
fearlessly characterized as "bun-
combe" that stereotyped utteranoe
denouncing the South for outrages
which when'perpetrated in northern
States, go unmentioned. 1t is
worth while reproducing the full
text of the Rev. Carlile's remarks:
GAS one of the barbarians, want
to oppose the whole resolution with
my whole heart. / regard it as a
piece of cheap buncombe, which
will do no good whatever, and will
only make feeling in the South
rankle toward the North. The res
olution is unjustly sectional, as
many parts of the North are just as
guilty. Again, / would not vote
against an action which, under SIM
liar circumstances / would do my
self. If my wife were assaulted
and murdered as in the Georgia
case 1 would cheerfully pull the
rope"
How many men are there in the
North who do not in their hearts
applaud the sentiment of DIR. Car
lilies words2 How many husbands
are there in this section who would
not, also, pull the rope" under
the circumstances mentioned2
Hadn't we better remove the
beam from our own eye before at
tending to the mote in the eyes of
the husbands and fathers of the
South?

that debt due to a trust cannot
be collected by law in that State
The trusts are in themselves illegal
organizations and can have no
standing in a court of justice. In
this case the National Lead Co.
sued a merchant for bill of goods.
and the defense which the court
sustained was that the Lead Com
pany was trust and that under
the laws of Missouri it's contracts
were illegal, and that it could not
collect bill for merchandise sold.
The court sustained this conten-
ton and decided the case against
