OPERATIVE POITERS
DELEGATES FROM VARIOUS
PLACES
WEST OF THE "A1LEGHEEIEs.
Who VIII Attend the National Com
vention Here Next Month-WIn
Give an Outing in Honor 0f the
Vfsitors-Session to Open ON the
1O~th.-Ofher Business and Indus-
trial Notes.

1t is expected that at least one hun
dred and fifty delegates from various
points west of the Alleghenies will
attend the next annual convention of
the National Brotherhood of Operative
Potters of America, to be held in this
city early in the coming montn, and
the employees of the Wheeling, War
wick and --.verside potterfes are maxi
ing elaborate arrangements to enter
tain the visitors during the session.
The visiting delegates will arrive in
the city on the Sth, representing vari-
GUS cities where lodges OF the associa-
ton are located, including South Bend,
Ind, Peoria, Ills, Beaver Falls, Pr,
and Akron, East Liverpool, Kittanning,
S~teubenville. and Toronto, Ohio.
At a meeting of the local organiZa-
tons it was decided to accompany Tie
visitors to Wheeling Park on the foi-
lowing day, and there afford them a
session for recreation and enjoyment.
Among the features for this occasion
will be a boxing contest and a concert
programme. in which a number of tai
ented vocalists will take part.
The business session will open on
the 10th, and the assembling together
of representatives from so many diff
ferent potteries west of the Allegheny
Mountains will afford an excellent OPP
portunity for discussing questions of
interest to this particular branch Of
organized labor. The local porters
will hold another meeting in a few
days TO complete arrangements for the
convention, and will probably decide
upon Trades Assembly hall as the
place of meeting. The delegates will
very likely be accompanied TO the city
by many of their friends.

THE PROBABLE SECRET,

The reports from the sessions of the
County Board of Equalization and Ap-
peals recite that very few applications
for reductions are being made. The
trouble probably is that taxpayers are
inbued with the idea that it is rather
a waste of time and endeayor to make
application to the Board for relief from
the heavy increases imposed by the
~reyaluation assessors. There is a dis
tinct impression that the majority of
the County Board would rather see the
reassessment maintained. and that the
only hope for relief for those whose
valuations were increased from rs to
100 per cent. lies in the election of a
new Board inclined to look after the
interests of constituents.

THE STATE UNIVERSITY.

The decision OF the Board OF Regents
| Of the State University to retain Pres
ident Raymond at the head of the in
| ~stitution will not cause satisfaction In
| any quarter of the State. The Univer-
| sity of West Virginia is an important
educational factor. 1t costs the people
a large amount of money, but the ex-
penditure would not be counted were
! the results achieved satisfactory. 1t has
been apparent for a long time that the
management has been faulty, and that
there is a lamentable lack of that
| esprit de corps essential in such a
school. The fault has not been alto
+! gether that of the President. Members
of the faculty have contributed not a
little to the prevailing discordancy, and
1t was undoubtedly the duty of the
Board to not only accept the rendered
resignation of the President, but to
| eliminate from the situation as many O
the faculty as might be necessary TO
secure and ensure proper results. The
effort to gloss over the past, and to
continue the school under a manage
ment which has lost the confidence of
the people, will only result in a pro-
longation of past conditions. and, per-
haps, lead to other and more serious
~squabbles. The State University needs
the prompt application of the pruning
knife. Nothing else than a thorough
wedding out process will preserve it in
proper form. The Board of Regents
should rise to the situation, and act in
good judgment and without fear.

IN CHINA.

The situation in China e on from
bad to worse.
Apparently nothing viii meet the ex-
igencies which have arisen, largely
through the fault of the powers them
selves. but a complete transformation
Of the Empire under a p~rotectorate
guaranteed by the combined powers,
acting in harmony and with entire con-
hdence in each other. 4 continuation
OF the old order OF things, under native
rulers, is clearly impossible. The pow
srs must first restore order, and then
there aus be an agreement to place
some European prince-Belgian or
Dutch Or Swedish, or even Greek. in
charge of affairs. backed by a cosmopol-
itan force of such proportions as will
be sufficient TO command the situation.
PIN time some native statesman of COM
Potency, like Ii Hung Chang, may be
entrusted with the reins of government,
but even Ii. the foremost Chinaman
Ct the age, will need substantial and
adequate support.
That the present Chinese government
is in sympathy with the rebellious ele-
ment is not to be questioned. The at
tack upon the allied fleet at Taku. and
the subsequent bombardment of Tien
Tsin were evidently in accordance
with orders from Pekin. The hand of
the Dowager Empress is apparent in all
that has ~transpired, and until that
woman has gone to join her revered
ancestors there viii be no peace in
China.
The latest details are presented This
morning in the Geographic columns.
The situation is of the most serious de-
scription. It affects, to a greater OF
\ less degree, all the nations of Europe
hand America and Japan as we'll. So far
pere has been harmonious action.
e fact that the Russian wounded in
kcombats already fought are being

international feeling which

The key 20 the situation is held by Gov.

seems certain now that Mckinley and
Roosevelt will be the slogan with which
the Republicans will appeal TO the coun.
try in the approaching campaign. As
yet Governor Roosevelt has not decided.
His position is unique in American
politics. He does not desire the nomina.
ton for vice president, and acknowl.
edged leaders of the administration
forces in the convention down deep in
their hearts do not want him 20 take 1t.
Their opposition is not personal to Mr..

Whether advancing prices are a
good thing or not is a subject for
much argument pro and con. One
thing in this connection is abso-
Iutely certain, and that is that the
difference between a period of ad-
vancing prices and period of de-
clining prices upon the spirits of
the people is similar to the differ
ence to an army between a success
full charge and perverse retreat.
Advancing prices are conducive to
civilization, and occasion triumph
for optimism and relegate the dole
full pessimist to the background.
During years of advancing prices
educational institutions are built,
books are bought and works of art
purchased. People are better fed
and clothed and push all material
and intellectual improvements with
greater zest. Advancing prices
are as sunshine to humanity, and
Dclining prices act like depress-
ing dark cloud
