date for State superintendent of Public
instruction, were with the people of our
city last evening and delivered two able
and eloquent addresses to a good au-
dience composed largely of ladies.
The speakers were in splendid condition
and charmed their hearers with an out
pouring of eloquence which bespoke their
sincerity in the cause for which the white

The evenings EXERCISES were begun by
singing "The Old North State Miss

daughters, presided at the organ and as

Gus workers in the cause, introduced the

Gen. Toon captvated his hearers from
the beginning and at no time during his
discourse did TIE interest abate His
tribute to his comrades; the old Confed-

State and southland were vigorously APP
'plauded. He ably portrayed the great
benefits along educational lines when the

Col Gilmer's address, which followed
that Of Gen. Toon, was a strong argu-
ment in favor of the adoption of the
amendment and one we'll calculated to
stimulate any audience to a full sense
of their duty, although the latter is not
necessary, here, for the people OF Nash

ALL BOODLERs SHOULD GO.

The average Democratic paper
bowls frantically about Quay, who
is a Republican, but is as silent as
a clam about Clark. VINO is Demo-
crat. This is patriotic partisan
ship.-Hickory Press. Rep.
From the first this Democratic pa
per has advocated the expulsion of
Clark just as we advocated the ex-
pulsion of Hanna, Quay and the rest
of the boodlers. OF the three. Quay
is perhaps the least guilty and Han
ma the worst. Not one of them ought
to be permitted to sit in the Senate.
All boodlers should be made to 90.
We do not recall any editorial in the
Press advocating the expulsion of
Hanna. 1t seems to stick to "our
d-n rascal" as Nat. Stevens would
put it.

MIvER NOT A CANDIDATE
He Believes He Can Serve Cause of Education
Better in His Present Position Than as
President of the University.

To the Editor: The editorial in the
News and Observer a few days ago en-
dorsing me so cordially for the presidency
of the State University is SO compliment
tary that / could not but be grateful
to you for it. However, endorsement
from so conspicuouous source and the
discussion arising therefrom in othes
State papers lead me to the conclusion
that in justice to my chosen line of edu-
cational work and in justice to those
who might construe my silence into
willingness to have my name go before
the Board of Trustees, / ought to say
that / am not candidate for the hon.
or, nor under present conditions could
I accept the presidency of the Univer-
sty if it were rendered to me.
| do not underestimate the dignity. the
honor. and the power attaching to the
executive office of our oldest and most
honored seat of learning, and my low
for by Alma Mater is such that it would
be a delight to me to render her any
service.
But being convinced that my usefulness
to the cause of education in North Car
DINA would be greater in my present
position than as President of the Uni
versity / ought not to make the change
even if it were possible for me to do
SO.
| hope that no one will consider that
this letter is written with the assump-
ton that the Presidency of the Univer-
sity has been rendered me or would be
rendered me. l simply am not candi-
date in any sense and do not wish to be
so considered.
With appreciation of the compliment
paid me by those who have endorsed me
for this high and responsible position,
i am
Very truly yours.

THE WAY IT WORKS.

In the treatment of the liquor addiction
at the Greensboro Kelley institute, no
opium. morphine, choral or cocaine is
administered in any form When the
treatment is over and the patient grad
yates. he is able to discontinue all medi-
cines No medicine used creates an ap-
petite for itself, but on the other hand,
greatly assists nature in throwing off
hurtful humors in the blood and building
up the system. The Kelley Institute at
Greensboro is now well known to II ma
iority of the people in the State and its
work is it's best recommendation.

ly deplored by all classes of our citizens,
in all the walks of life he was up
right" his department while living was

DR.. McIvER CANNOT ACCEPT.

We publish elsewhere a letter from
DR.. Charles ID. McIver. president of
the State Normal and Industrial Col
lege, requesting that his friends do
the presidency of the University. The
reason he gives is one that shows
his fitness for the high office, and
is one that his friends will respect.
He is the father of the State Nor
NAL and Industrial College, the leader
in the stimulus given to the educa-
ton of women in North Carolina. His
devotion to that cause for which he
has labored SO long and SO success
of every friend of education in North
Carolina. While many. friends of the
University will regret that DR.. McIver
will not succeed DR.. Alderman, they
will give him earnest and hearty co
operation in the great work to which
he has consecrated his life and i'll
which he has put his lasting impress
upon the educational renaissance of
the State. The youngest of our State
educational institutions, its usefulness
and growth have been unparalleled
in the history of Southern education.
AS its founder and head, DR.. McIver
has made it Il monument to his zeal
1,I 1fr
to the Commonwealth.
Referring to the suggestion of DR..
Mclver for the presidency, the Ashe-
vile Citizen said:
ut is from the ranks of the teach
ing profession that the new presi-
dent should be chosen. Executive
ability in other walks of life will
demand far larger salary than is
paid to the president of the Univer-
sity of North Carolina. The Citizen
believes that among North Carolina
teachers DR.. McIver is the best man
for the place
The Sanford Express speaks of DR..
McIyer in terms of high endorsement,
saying:
IF ones fitness for a position is
to be judged by the success he has
met with in all his undertakings, DR..
McIver will fill the bill. When he
first began to agitate the question
of State school or college for young
women, where they could be given
equal advantages with the young men
at the University he received little
encouragement. But this only caus-
ed him to work the harder. and in a
few short years he found himself at
the head of the Normal College sup
ported by the State. The growth of
this institution under DR.. McIvers
management has surprised even its
most sanguine friends. He has de-
voted his entire time to school work
since he left the University and is
one of the States most progressive
Young educators. We believe the
University would grow in popularity
and usefulness with him as its presi-
dent
The Roanoke howan Times, which
advocates teacher, says:
From among the teachers. Presi-
dent McIver. of the State Normal
and Industrial College, has been sug-
gested. We wish also to enter our
protest against the selection of Pres
idcnt McIver. He deserving of any
honor in the gift of the people of
North Carolina: but we would not
look upon his transfer from the Nor
NAL College to the University as a
nromotiou !"

The Army Board, consisting Of Ma1or-General
1ohn r. Brooke, Colonel George L. Gillespie and
colonel Amos s. Kimball. appointed July q. to sug-
COST tnnrovements on Governors Island has for
warded its report to Washington. 1t is understood
that the Board recommends the appropriation Of
between 100000 and 100000 to be expended in the
enlargement of the island and the construction OF
docks and storage warehouses
southwest side of the island and I'LL in the shoal tr
angle living between the channel of the Hudson River
and Buttermlk Channel and to construct warehouses
and twelve hundred feet of docks the north
side of the island It believed that the addition
can be made at very little cost by the use of the
material taken out by the contractors employed in
widening and deepening the harbor, and that by
building the docks and warehouses the sum of
$4,000 now annually spent for storage and wharfage
can be saved
The Buttermik Channel and the channel Of
the Hudson River bound Governors Island on the
east and west sides respectively. These channels
join about mile below the island The triangle
formed by the junction of the channels Is a shoal
In some parts Of the shoal the rocks appear oc-
casionally above water. BY building dikes along
either side the triangle to the point and filing
It in one hundred acres OF land could be added to

be room on the triangle to encamp a regiment

cording TO the programme the strike of the an

they have already at their New-York meet

Workers of their decision. Their policy has

OF the men. while willing to strike If the others

will wait to see what they do. The labor lead

convincing the men that the union is not only
able TO order a strike, but to keep 1t up. ana
they are using all their persuasive powers to
induce the men to obey the order at once. Not
withstanding this. they are sure Of he men in

THE WEBER & FIELDS FIRST NIGHT WAS
DREARY AND DULL.

THE WEBER & FIELDS FIRST N1Tt11 WAS
DREARY AND DULL.
Not for a long time has any theatrical enterprise
IN broadway been more completely deluged with
public dissatisfaction and discomfort than the
Weber & Fields opening performance for the
season last night The heat in the little place
was insuferable and the management used every
unscrpulous effort drive the people present into
the basement in order that they might look there
for refreshment with mineral waters and other
LIQUIDS which could be bought at several places in
the neighborhood at prices far more reasonable
The laws Of the State and the municipal regulations
were violated in the most impudent manner The
exits were not kept open at the times when the
law REQUIRES that they should be kept open' ana
the standing room was damned and packed in
manner that the State acts and the local ordinances
prohibit
It is an expensive company that Weber and
Fields have hired for the season. but the material
which they have provided for their actors, their
actresses their singers and their dancers is or
little value They have De Wolf Hopper, Lillian
Russell, Fay Templeton and other well known
persons on their payroll, but they have asked them
TO handle stuff which State Senator Sullivan would
not venture 10 foist upon the patrons Of his Bow
cry dives. Last evening evening Of I'M
easiness and unhappiness TO every intelligent per-
son who went to the stuIy little hole called the
Weber and Fields Music Hall Nothing funny,
nothing bright. nothing smart was seen or heard
there.
