AT the recent meeting of the board
of directors of the State Hospital for
the Insane at Weston very serious
charges were made against the Super
intendent, DR.. Stathers. The charges,
which were quite specific, and signed
by some well-known Weston men, ac-
cuse DR.. Stathers of numerous acts of
immortality and of general official and
personal misconduct. The board of
directors received the charges, but ad-
journed until nextOctober without TAX
ing any action. The matter has caused
considerable excitement throughout
the State, and there is some criticism
of the board for its neglect to investi-
gate the subject.
Somehow or other we do not take
much stock in these charges against
Superintendent Stathers. The people
of Weston regard the Asylum very
much as some of the Morgantown folks
do the University. Unless it is man
aged as local beneficiary its officers
become the target of all sorts of abuse
and persecution. When the present
movement against DR.. Stathers is
sifted, we will bet round sum that
its chief promoters are would-be or
have-been employees or individuals
who are actuated by personal and pri-
vate spite. Nevertheless, the sooner
the directors make their investigation
the better. 1t is a singular fact that
the only persons interested in this af-
fair are Republicans.

how the government was feeced by
everybody who had dealings with it
during the Spanish war In May,
1898, the government bought from the
Merchants and Miners Transportation
Company Of Baltimore the steamer
Chatham, paying for the vessel the
enormous sum of $35O,OOO. Immense
amounts were spent in fitting up the
steamer as repair ship, and under
the name of the Vulcan she was kept
in service several months. Last week
the steamer was resold to her former
owners for $l75,OOO-just half the
sum that the government paid for her
a year previous, The company made
a fine speculation.

ulously low rate offered by New
York advertising agent for tremeu-

the richest companies in the world,
and ought to be made to pay fair
price. We have no doubt it is willing
to do so, but it has placed its business
in the hands of an agency that is try
ing to get a great deal for nothing.
We hope the newspapers of West Vir-

hoodwinked in this particular case.
