HUNTINGTON CONVENTION

Selected White Delegates, and Not
withstanding Malicious Reports Of
Lack Of Harmony, the Utmost Good
Feeling Prevailed = Hon. ]. A.
Hughes Seams to Have the Call on
the Congressional Nomination.
Special Dispatch to the Intelligencer,
HUNTINGTON, w. Va Feb. 20
saturday afternoon the Republicans
held their district conventions to se=
feet delegates to the county conyen-
ton, which meets on March 8 These
primaries resulted in complete VIC
tory 10 the White people, and he will
have the solid delegation Of cabell
county in his contest for governor.
For the past ten days this county has
been a great battle ground of the White
and Freer forces, though It has been
apparent to anyone capable of SUM
ming Up the contest that the former
have been decidedly mort aggressive in
the t,ght, and have madr rapid inroads
uuon the latter, until they far out
numbered them in the preliminary con-
81 course all this has not been going
on without more or less blood becoming
warmed UP, but 1t Is safe to say that
Cabell county Republicans have pass
ed through much more discoufaglng
circumstances than now confront them
and nOIled the full strength OF the
party vote, hence It is the prediction Of
your correspondent that they VIII tn;s
time carry Cabell county py MIMI
mum majority Of 500.
The delegates we're instructed TO
suppoTt Hon, james Hughes, Of this
CITY. for the nomination for Congress,
and his friends feel assured that he
viii win. The friends Of Congressman
Freer, It Is claimed, have connected MT.
HuRhes' name with the White support
rrs, OF the county, and now threaten to
throw him down. This, however, VIII
moi be done, as It is known that many
81 Mr. TrPaT's friends in the county are
enthusiastic supporters Of Mr.. Hughes,
feeling that after supporting the for
1ner locally as q candidate for COVER
nor. they are under no obligations to
antagouire Mr.. Hughes, as q matter
solely for revenge.
A Sensation Exploded.
During the convention on Saturday IT
was reported in the city that the White
men had determined not to allow Mr..
Freer, who was in the city. to address
the convention. The report was shown
10 be mistake. as the White mana
gers were heard to grant the privilege
for Mr, Freer to speak. as soon as the
convention had effected a temporary
organize ton, but for some unknown
reason Mr.. Freer did not enter the
convention hall.

SCHOOL 5NELANGE.

what is education? What do we
mean when we say a man or a woman
has an education? We are too apt to
consider 1t the amount of knowledge
one gets at school. II a young man
goes through all the branches taught in
all our schools from the lowest primary
to the university, we are apt to speak
Of him as being educated, and he may
be, tut the point we wish to make is
that he may go through all these
schools and be an adept, so to speak, in
all the branches and sim not be educa-
ted. Many a man. who has never been
within the walls OF our higher schools
OF learning, but who has made use OF
his rpportunlties so that his mind is
trained for the duties Of life is much
better educated than he who has the
knowledge OF all the branches. with no
knowledge of how to apply them IN
working out the problem Of life. Edu-
catioa Is condition Of the mind Itself
ms aad OF being something pressed In
to Il in the shape Of the knowledge OF
the branches. etc. Do not take 1t from
this that we argue that school studies
are rot necessary; they are IN every
possible sense. It q their work TO
create the condition spoken Of. and It is
the greatest work Of the teacher to 80
guide the pupil that the state Of mind
anosen Of may be brought about. The
problem, in arithmetic, should be
Taught 60 as TO have a bearing on the
future life OF the pupil, not merely for
the patisfaction Of knowing how to
1nII,a n II In aurpFiRinR when we con-
slider It calmly, how much OF our teach
ing las no further or higher aim than
that our pupils be quick in answering
and rapid in their work in solving
problems. How easy along with this ig
Il to enforce the greatest object and end
OF all educati on-the formation Of char
acter. II this were done at all times
aud by all the public school teachers Of
our land. the cry that our schools are
not turning out good men and good
women could not be brought against
them with any degree Of consistency.
as we fear It can be as things exist at
present.

In the February number Of the West
Virginia School Journal is an article
written by James N. David, Of clarhB-
burg. from which wo quote as follows:
"'The mass Of mankind must be toiters
and not scholars, and no man can ever
be scholar who Is not q tolleT. smat-
terlng OF many things In our common
schools should be abandoned and few
Fundamental branches should be thor
Oughly taught and thus awaken the
desire to see new truths as they ara
presented. The dignity Of manual la
Dor should be Inculcated," etc. There is
food for thought In these words from
iirBt to last. That our public schools
are leaving the fundamental principles
upon which they were established 10 q
known fact. Whether this departure
Ia for the better ID the question. In
many OF our schools the course Ia over
crowded, and hence but a smatterlng
OF many things Is the result, and moth
ing ls done as thoroughly as should be.
But IN spite Of all this, our public
schools are. as rule, laying a foun-
dalton for thorough education. which
can be finished In higher institutions OF
learning. In the same article Mr..
David well says: 1.-THE best result OF
our common schools is the sending out
OF men and women who know how and
are willing to make An honest living"
The great majority Of our men and
wOmGn IRE and ever will he tOIlGrH, but
they may be intelligent tollers. II In
youth they embrace the opportunities
afforded them by our public schools.
The tollers are the bone and slnew of
our country.
THE noblest men who live on earth,
Are men whose hands nre brown with
loili
They wear upon their honest brains
The royal stamp and seal Of God,
And wOTthlGr are their drops OF sweat
Than diamonds in n corOnet.
God bless them, for their toiling hands
Have wrought the glory Of all lands"
The vast multitude Of toIlers may not
expect to be great In learning, but ev-
cry now and then among them are
those whose minds run that way and
they become the greatest Of ehrth's hO-
roes. Our public school course ought TO
be arranged 80 as to glvO to the masses
all the education the snccessful man or
woman must have, and also to inspire
those who have tho ambition TO enter
higher schools and there get all there ID
for them 10 have as far as the acqulsi-
ton Of knowledge IL concerned.

''Dewey Day" has come and gone,
and although II was a great disap-
polntment to everybody on account Of
the bad weather, still in many respects
1t was a great day. II those having
charge of the parade had carried out
everything as advertised instead Of be-
ing $500 in line, there would have been
three times that many. The school
children were on their way amid snow.
and rain, when they received the an
nounOement that the parade was on,
and some Of them dlRbauded, Had the
weather been good there would have
been about six hundred boys in line,
and bad as the day was, had the pa
rade started at o'clock, as originally
Intended, there would have been four
hundred in line. Somebody biundered.
but who It was has not yet appeared.
To say the least, 1t is great pity that
the weather was as 1t was, but the
next time Dewey comes we hope to
have the weather everything that 1t
should be.

Every room in Richie school had ex-
ercises on Friday last appropriate to
the celebrating Of Wasihngton's Birth
day. These exercises would have been
held Wednesday had our board OF edu-
cation given US Friday as holiday,
but as they did not see at to do so, the
exercises were postponed. These spe-
pupils II the teachers are wise in pre-
pairing for them. Many points In the
history Of our country can thus be
learned and well learned, that cannot
be in any other way. Boys and girls
are inclined to hero worship, and when
the hero is one like Washington or
Dewey, they cannot learn too much
concerning him.

The Board of County Commission
ers met in special session yesterday
morning to take up for consideration
the ordinance authorizing the issuance
of $500, 900 worth of bonds for the pur-
pose of subscribing that amount TO
the capital stock of the projected
Uniontown, Waynesburg & West yir-
ginia railroad.
After the members were called to
order the ordinance was read by Clerk
Moffat. Mr.. Fritz, member from
Richie, stated that it was the first in
formation he had as to the provisions
of the ordinance, and he thought it
was a matter upon which the members
should be better informed. He thought
the ordinance should be printed and
a printed copy placed in the hands of
each member OF the Board in order
that he might vote intelligently upon
it. He was inclined to favor a sub
scription of 100000 rather than the
sum named. He was not opposed to
the subscription. He objected to the
second reading of the ordinance and
under the rules it goes over until the
next regular meeting of the Board,
which will be held on Monday, June
4th.
After Mr. Fritz made his objection
the Board adjourned.
The salient points of the ordinance,
as submitted, have heretofore been
outlined in the Register 1t provides
that, $150,000 shall be paid when at
least $450000 shall have been expend-
ed in Marshall and Ohio counties; a
like amount when the sompany shall
have expended 5000, 900, and the re-
mainder when the road is completed
and trains running over it into Wheel
ing. The bonds are 10-3V, to be num-
bered consecutively from to 500, to
be of the denomination of 81 900 each,
and to bear interest at the rate of 3115
per cent per annum. The work upon
the road is to ne commenced within
six months, and if not completed
within three years the Board shall
have the privilege Of withdrawing any
part of the subscription not payable
under the provisions of the ordinance.
The company must accept or decline
the ordinance within thirty days after
its ratification by the people.
All this is as a matter of course,
subject to the decision of the voters
at a special election which shall be
called for the purpose of ratifying or
rejecting the stock subscription.
