Pedagogue Tells What w. ".
u. Needs.

Takes Up RaymOnd's Report-Discusses
1t in Detail-End0rses the Recon-
mendatiOns-Sh of the Expenses
Borne by Uncle Sam.
"Pedagogue. writing in the Wheel
ing Intelligencer has the following to
say which will interest people here:
Through the courtesy of President
Raymond. of our State University,
the writer has received copy of the
biennial report of the board of regents
and the president of the West Vir-
ginia University for 1897-9S. After
reading both reports carefully, he
must confess that although he has
tried to keep himself In touch, as far
as possible, with the great advance
fnent made by the institution during
the past few years, it is very much
greater than he had ever dreamed of.
If this carefully prepared report could
be read by all friends of education in
the state they would not only be
proud of our University, bnt there
would be no difficulty in getting the
necessary appropriation to make it in
deed, what it is fast becoming in spite
of all adverse circumstances, one of
the very leading institutions Of our
land. One thing in the report Of the
president is worthy of commentator
above all others, /. e., his bold stand
against allowing politics to have any
thing whatever to do with the man
agement of the affairs of our Uniyer-
sity. This has been the bane of the
institution in the years vast. In say
ing this, | do not charge any one
party, for both have been TO blame,
not only in regard to the University,
but also the normal schools. May
this never be the case with any of our
schools in the future, but may the
policy pursued toward them be SO
broad that it will be above the influ-
ence of party or creed of any kind
whatever. If our legislature at its
present session would pass a law APP
propriating yearly a tax of one half "a
mill on each dollar of the assessed wall
uation of the property in the state. it
would do wise act.
A great many people think the en-
tire expenses of the State University
are borne by the state, when the fact
is the United States government pays
more than the state of West Virginia
does. During the past five years the
federal appropriations have been $751;
$50 in excess of the state appropria-
tions. So we can see that we are un
der many obligations to Uncle Sam
for the success of our leading school.
An appropriation made for any one of
our schools should not be considered
tax, but an Investment; and there
is no investment that pays greater
interest. 1t really pays into the
treasury in dollars good rate of in
terest, while the value of the true
manhood and womanhood given back
in return for the outlay cannot be
counted in money value.

WILL RESORT TO INJUNCTION.
The plan OF the Democrats, In such
an event, will be TO go into court and
restrain the Republicans from passing
any appropriation measures. This
would entail an ugly legal battle
which would last until the next Leg
islature convenes. In the meantime,
the Democrats say, all OF the humane
institutions and departments OF the
State would be penniless and would
have to close up shop.
The Republicans, on the other hand,
say there will be no trouble on this
score. They have already figured up.
on such move and claim that IL the
courts are against them they have
plenty Of men in the party willing to
advance the State all that 1t needs for
its appropriations. They further say
that If the Governor recognizes the
House which they may organize. this
fact will make it a legally constituted
body.
1t Is now doubtful whether the vot-
ing for United States Senator will be-
gin at noon tomorrow. The failure
to settle the legislative fight may
postpone it. Roth Elkins and Scott
wish this matter hurried as fast as
possible, but in order to accomplish
it the Republicans will have to do
some great hustling tomorrow

With the formal exchange of ratitica
tiOns of peace treaty at Washington this
week our stormy adventure with Spain
was officially terminated An eventful
stirring year has stretched between the
breaking of of diplomatic and CONNER
cial relations and the resumption OF
friendly intercourse
We are at peace with our late foe, and
so welcome Is the era OF renewed ann
cabilty aud intercourse, the wonder
grows that nations should ever find il
necessary to face each Other as fierce and
slaughterous antagonists. Our national
mission in the Anulles-the expulsion
of Spanish sovereignty, the termina-
tion of devastiug strife-has been ac-
compliseed at cost of hundreds of
American lives and many hundred mil
hons of dollars, unreasonable grief over
the lost and the Sutferings of our de-
Tenders and much humiliation over mis-
takes and the scandals agitated over
the management of our army. Still it
was the only honorable solution of the
frightful problem

FRIDAY, APRIL Il, 1899.

The farmers won "A sweeping victory
in the house last Wednesday by passing
the sugar bounty appropriation bill, the
final vote standing - TO %. The oppo-
nents of the bill did most of the talking,
but the representatives from the rural
districts promptly swept aside all the
amendments that were offered for the
purpose of fixing stated amount for
the bounty. While the bill provides
100000, there is another provision that
all deficits shall be paid out of the gen
eral fund, which leaves the bounty at
one cent a pound and limitless. The
farmers had the votes and realized what
was of the most benefit for the farmers
of the great beet sugar producing state

The republican party has always III
the past adopted such policies as We're
suited 20 the needs and necessities Of the
people, and it may safely be relied upon
TO continue that policy In the future.
That the trusts which are being formed
in nearly every lineof industry and en-
terprise are working harm is probably
undeniable, but that the republican
party is IN any manner responsible for
their existence is not susceptible of
proof, and those who hope 20 prejudice
the tariff which is doing SO much TO re-
vive business and restore confidence by
charging il with the burden of their
creation, will signally fail Trusts would
have come just the same, no matter
what party or what policy was acend-
ant, and 10 is the duty Of the hour, re-
gardless Of party TO minimize their in
furious effects until such time as con-
gress shall enact laws which will prevent
the harm TO communities which now
seems imminent. That many of the
leading industries have met serious loss,
and some great disaster, during the past
few years is quite true, but that organ
lied monopoly should permit them 20 re-
coup in a single season by eXorbitant
prices we do not believe. Partisan
malice charges the republican party
with fostering these unjust combina-
tiOns. but public sense Will repel the I'M
just accusation and calmly await the
needful remedy.

Senator G. =. Heald has introduced a
Joint resolution in the state senate that
will attract a great deal of interest all
over the state The bill provides for the
board of state auditors 60 investigate
and examine the claim Of Betsy j.
Haight Of Jackson on account Of the
death of her husband, Geo w Haight
who lost his life while employed at the
state prison, by means of poison admin.
istered 90 him by r. Irving Latimer
confined there for the murder OF his
mother This happened March 2jth.
1893. and after the poison was admins
tered the convict Latimer made his
escape in the night. Six years have
gone by since Mr. Haight lost his life
while dischargiug his duties while in
the employ of the state and at this late
date the widow asks some recompense
for the loss of her husband. The reso-
luton has prOvisO that the compen-
satiOn shall not exceed the sum of 81 900,
and that such sum as shall be allowed
shall be In full satisfaction and settle-
ment Of all claims on account of the
death of said Geo w. Haight All the
circumstances are such that Mrs. Haight
is certainly entitled 20 compensation for
the loss of her husband. She is now 20
years of age and is the possessor of very
little property. the income of which is
not sufficient for her support, and on
account Of her-age and imfrmities she is
unable co perform labor The Michigan
legislature Will simply do an act of JUS
tice in passing Senator Heald's Joint re-
solution, and the people will all feel that
it is simply right and just to pass this
measure.

cabin passengers. said: The expert
ence of the voyage of the Pavonia was
frightful. Gale followed gale and hur-
ricanes prevailed throughout the
whole time from Liverpool until We
landed at the Azores. During the
gales terrific seas came over the side
and swept everything before them.
The steamer rolled so violently that
its six boilers broke adrift and the
steamer was helpless. Five steamers
were sighted but the the weather was
so stormy that they were unah' to
help us.
