A CAMPAIGN HUMBUG'
Roston Pnst)

The well Worn humbug of business
contracts conditioned on the election OF
the Republican candidate for president
is being overworked this year. The an
nOuncements sent out daily from MI
Hanna's campaign bureau of mlslnfor-
nation lack the stamp of fact. No SEN
sible man in business believes that or
ders for the shipment OF goods, con-
tracts for manufactured products, pur-
chases of material. are made condition.
al upon the reelection of Mckinley.
There may be some cranks who act IN
that way but our business men are
most of them sane and sensible.
At one point. however. there is reason
TO believe that this attempted scare Is
based on fact. The trusts seem to be
putting this condition into their con-
tracts-or, at least, saying that they DO
it. We may readily believe that they
tell the truth The trusts want NC
Kfnley reelected and they VIII DO
what they can to bring about the re-
tention of their great ally in power
So in the stories sent out from Han
"a 6 bureau there is seen from day TO
day the announcement that this trust
that trust and the other trust has
made tremendous contracts, requiring
the employment of thousands of work
men. to be filled ''if Mckinley is re-
elected" The very latest issued by
Hanna yesterday afternoon brings IN
Andrew Carnegie, whose concern IS
lust now engaged in holding up the
navy department for an eXtoruonate
price on armor plate.
The humbug is too apparent to de-
ceive a child. But just consider the
audacity of the thing-bringing up the
trusts TO bulldoze the American people
into electing their mani

DISGUSTED BY ROOSEVELT.

(New York Post, Republican,
Increasingly devout prayers for the
health of President Mckinley Will be
offered by self-respecting Republicans
after they have read Governor Roose-
velt's fresh Outburst yesterday. You
are a hoOdlumi You represent the dis
orderly class, Co back TO your fellow
hobOesi" This is fine language for a
governor of New York and vice presi-
Dental candidate to address to a. man
who asks him a question at a public
meeting 1t shows the advantage of
true culture in preparing one for a
competition in bad language. Roose-
welt seems anxious to esta blish the
reputation of being able to give the
veriest fishwife as good as she sends
And he is the man to lift hands of
horror at Bryan'S undignifled canvass
He even rebukes men who talk too
much. The painful and humiliating
spectacle which the governor presents
must be taken as one proof more of
his essential character-which is that
of a man ever spelling for a fight. DR..
Johnson was said TO argue as a man
would use the butt end of his pistol
when it missed fire. Roosevelt prefers
to begin with the butt Ina CINE such
a man directing the foreign relations

M'KINLEY'S SILENCE.

The administration partisans criti-

the people They say he has no con-
ception of the dignity of the great Of
flee for which he is a candidate
The dignity of the president should
be respected. But there is also a dig
nifty of the people. The comparative
greatness of the two dignities may be
estimated from the fact that the people
make presidents, but presidents do not
make the people

likely to be too timid 70 speak to the
people It has been the invariable Gus
tom among free nations from time i'm
memorial for candidates to go before
the voters and address them directly
This. to repeat, is but recognition of
the dignity OF the people. In England,
for instance, the prime minister him
self makes political speeches. More
than this, he answers questions. Nor
does Emperor William of Germany q is

1t has remained for Emperor William
at Washington to educate US I'D TO the
doctrine that he has grown too great
for us all. Like the Inca of Peru, he
must seclude himself from the common
herd lest he compromise his dignity by

But perhaps he is afraid he might be

ZINC Recent Dismissals.

G~reenbrier Independent.
Prof Armstrong was the Democrat
ic nominee for the Office of State Sup
erintendent of Free Schools at the re-
cent election, and is regarded as one
of the most efficient men connected
with the institution. But ne and DR..
Raymond did not agree, it seems, and,
as Raymond seems to have the pull
with the Board, Armstrong was made
to walk the plank. DR.. H~artigan, as
we understand, was charged by DR..
Raymond with immortality and false
hood. He has now instituted a suit
against the president claiming $4,000
damages, for defamation Of character.
DR.. Raymond, it is said, wanted the
Board to ask the Legislature for an
appropriation of $500. 900 for the next
two years, but the Board was more
modest and fixed the amount to be
asked for at about 1915. 900.
The action of the Board in dismiss
ing these two professors, at the in
stance of DR.. Raymond, is conclusive
evidence that he and the Board, or at
least the majority of it, are now in
accord and that the matter of his res
ignation, about which so much was
said last spring, will now be dropped.

THE UNIVERSITY.
Raymond and APPROPRIATIONS.

Raymond and Appropriations.
Martinsburg Statesman.
President Raymond, Of the State
University, recommended to the Board
of Regents that the coming legislature
be asked to appropriate $4,000 for
the University for the next two years
about one-sixth of the entire revenues
of the State, but the Board scaled the
estimate to S33S,000.
There will be no little amount Of
trouble to get even a much lower ap-
preparation through for Raymond for
he mas made himself so thoroughly Of
fensive to the majority of the people Of
the State that we have heard some
members-elect say that they would OPP
pose any appropriation until Raymond
is dismissed. Mr.. Raymond may think
that he has gained a great victory in
securing the dismissal of Profs. Arm
strong and Hartigan, but he will find
that he has a bigger task on his hands
to control the legislature than the
Board of Regents.

Armstrong,s Dismissal.

B-uckhannon Delta.
The Board of Regents of the West
Virginia University was in session at
Parkersburg last week.
Profs. Robert A. Armstrong and j.
w. Hartigan were dismissed from the
Faculty. These gentlemen were two
of the best known and most popular
members of the faculty. No cause
was given for their peremptory dismis-
sal.
Prof. Armstrong occupied the chair
of English and had been at the Uni
versity since 1898. He was very pop
ular with students and his dismissal
is likely to create dissatisfaction in
certain sources. He was the candidate
of Free Schools on the Democratic
ticket during the last campaign and
received the largest total vote of any
candidate on the ticket-99,95
