NEVADA UNIVERSITY.
The Legislature Stands by That
Institution.
(From the Reno Journal }

From the Reno Journal)
A Journal reporter talked with DR..
]. E. Stubs yesterday concerning the
present and future of Nevada's S crown
ing glory, the State University. The
doctor has just returned from Carson,
where he was employed during the
past few days in presenting report to
the Legislature, and also making sug-
gestions for the aid and advancement
of the university.
The love the people of Nevada bear
for their leading educational instltu-
ton is shown by the action of their
representatives at Carson in passing
the university bill. In view of the
fact that economy in all directions is
absolutely necessary in order to place
the State on a firm financial basis our
representatives realize that it would
be fatal to the best interests OF the
State to prevent development III
higher education by falling to render
the university the aid it's growth de-
mands. The bill was thoroughly con-
sidered before being voted upon, both
the House and the Senate exacting
complete and explicit reports on the
University's present condition. The
ports and the support given the bill
after due deliberation and debate indi-
Gates their attitude on educational ad-
vaneement.
In response to a remark about the
truthless newspaper rumors concerning
his intention of resigning in order to
accept a higher position elsewhere, DR..
Stubbs said:
HI hn ff7VfE
intentions; it is truly strange how such
stories originate Only one thing
could influence me to sever my con-
nection with the university, and that
is the positive knowledge that the State
is unable and unwilling to assist in the
education of it's young men and wo-
men.
my one great ambition is to see our
State University rank third among
the colleges of the West; to see it hold
the same position in regard to Berkeley
and Stanford as does Amherst to Yale
and Princeton. Amherst is not so large
as Yale or Princeton; it's roster num-
bers only 300 or 400 students. More
than this is not allowed; yet when the
Amherst graduate stands beside the
Yale graduate he feels well equipped

does. and is often the more competent
of the two; hence an Amherst diploma
goes Just as far as one from Y ale.
II would have it so with the Unl-
versity of Nevada 1t need not be great
in numebrs to be of high educational
standard We would have the young
men who graduate from its halls feel,
as they go forth to work for the state
upon whose soil they were reared, NO
men have had better college training
than has been given to US by the loyal
people of Nevada

CoMMIssARY GENERAL EAGAN
President Mckinley Commutes the
Sentence of the Army Officer.

WASHINGTON, Feb. THE Presi-
dent to-day caused to be promulgated
the sentence in the case Of General
Charles p. Eagan. The court martial
sentence was dismissal from the army,
and the President has commuted this
to six years suspension from duty,
which covers the remainder Of the time
prior to General Eagan's retirement in
January, 1905.
The following is the text of the order
of the President:
The court-martial composed of off,
GERS of high rank and distinguished
services, has found General Eagan
guilty of conduct unworthy an officer
holding a commission of the United
States, and obnoxious in the highest
degree to the discipline and good order
of the military system. Such behavior
is especially deserving of condemnation
in an officer holding his rank in the
army and charged with the perform
ance of difficult and important army
administrative duties in a time of great
public emergency, and from whom,
when subjected to adverse criticism, an
unusual degree of restraint and con-
stant and unfailing self-control are con-
fidently expected. The proceedings
finding said. sentence in the case Of
Brigadier General Charles p Eagan.

commissary General of subsistence, U
aoxA. eAkse eowcsa CO., xsw voax.

COmmlSSary General or subsistence, u.
s. A., are therefore approved. In
view, however, of his gallant conduct
in battle upon more than one occasion,
which merited and has received the
warm commentator of his superiors,
and Of his long and honorable record of
service extending over period sur
passing in duration that usually al
lotted to General, having regard also
to the mitigating circumstances which
were developed during the trial of the
case, and in Difference to the lrecom-
mendation to clemency submitted in his
behalf, the sentence imposed by the
court is commuted to suspension from
rank and duty for six years.
''WM. MCKINLEY
1t was stated by the Adjutant Cen
eral that General Eagan's suspension
carried him to within a few days of
his retirement. and to the age limit.
He will be reinstated in time to retire
with the regular rank and pay provided
IN such cases. The sentence of sus-
pension, according to legal-officers of
the department, does not deprive Cen
eral Eagan of any part of his pay, but
as the sentence reads without rank
and duty" he loses his allowance, which
include communication of quarters, ra-
tions and fuel and his horse allow
anees. This is quite a large financial
item.

LITERARY NOTES.

The war in South Africa between the
British and the Beers is awakening an
intense interest in the dark continent,
the land toward which the worlds i'm
migration of coming years will be direct
ed. Most opportunity comes the an
nouncement that William Harding. New
York cable editor of the Associated Press,
has a book on Africa nearly ready. en-
titled War in South Africa: The Dark
Continent from Savagery to Civilization
TO De published this mont by The Do
mlnion company of Chicago. Mr.. Hard
ing should be eminently qualified to pre-
pare a comprehensive and valuable work
on this subject. Not only has he ira
Veled extensively in the dark continent.
u for years all cable information from
AFRICA and the old world has passed
through his hands before being given to
the American public. The forthcoming
volume will contain a full account of
Africa from the earliest ages to the pres
ent day, including a detailed account Of
the causes and vents of the British-Boer
war.

NO RATIO IN THEIRS.

A great deal has been said of late rela-
for Bryan, and the Nebraska mans
friends have done no little political bank
ing on the strength they expect to receive
from the empire state. But it appears
that New York is for Bryan because
Bryan is for New York. With the late
silver leader ready to place free coinage
in the background and suppress the issue,
the Tammany men have no hesitancy in
coming to his support. The Hon. Richard
Croker, chief of the Tammany warriors,
expresses himself as follows as to the
issues next year. His words may be
taken as voicing the sentiments Of the
democracy of New York:
Anti-imperialism will be heard palmer
than all others. 1t will be the biggest
issue and the best help to the party.
After it, l believe, will come opposition
to trusts. which are becoming more num-
erous and more dangerous every day the
republican party remain in power.
These issues, / think. will go ahead of the
money question. l don't believe the party
will consent again to be absolutely COM
mitted to the ratio of 16 to 1. l do be-
lieve that the majority of the people are
in favor of bimetallism, and are content to
go no further than that in the declaration
to be made in the party's platform. Con-
gress is the body to settle the currency
question, and it is my opinion that the
best thing to be done is to declare for
bimetallism at a just ratio, and leave it
to congress to settle what the ratio is to
be. A democratic congress can be de-
| pended upon to do the proper thing.

A WHOLESOME EFFECT.

Evidently the adnonition of the chief
justice had a wholesome effect.
This morning the Anaconda Standard
comes to hand with such great problems
of government as the Welcome case left
out of its editorial repertoire.
Yesterdays Helena Independent was
not as usual sent out in fire-proof mail
sacks, and even the Butte Miner lacks
its customary display of pyrotechnics,
though it essays a brief reference to the
matter.
Though the Standard has muzzled it's
thinkatorium for the time being, and al
SO dropped the rogue's gallery from it's
art department, the most surprising
event in newspaper circles is the sud
denness With which the Helena Inde-
pendent has fetched up
A few days ago that organ donned the
most livid war paint that the market
afforded, and swore by the great horn
spoon that it would NOV a swath through
the serried ranks of the enemy that was
all wool and a yard wide.
Its editorial matter would have rails
ed a blister on the cuticle of a wooden
ham.
The way it sailed into men prominent
in the anti-Clark wing of the democracy
made the ice house sizzle.
And it pledged itself to keep up the
fusilade until it's enemies escaped from
the state under cover of darkness, and
changed their names before locating in
Borneo.
But its ~ferocity seems to have expert.
enced a sudden chill.
Compared with yesterdays editorial
page of the Independent, a butterfly is
q ferocious bird of prey.
1t could have been read in any church
in Montana, without causing the con
gregation to draw their revolvers in
| self-defense.
1t said nothing against the anti-Clark
men, nothing for the Clark men, and
created genuine surprise by not advis-
ing the supreme court as to what il
ought to do in the premises made and
provided.
If this great change was brought
about by the remarks of Chief Justice
Brantley, the scientific truth of the eff
fects of mind on matter-especially edi-
torial matter-is again demonstrated.
