NEW YORK DEMOCRACY.

The New York Democratic Convention
nominated Mr.. Bird s. Coler for Cover
nor. It was thought ut one time that
the nomination would be forced upon Mr..
David B. Hi. but 1t was finally de-
ter7nined to put Mr.. coler in the lead.
one. Mr.. Coler was recently comptroller
for the city OF New York and he showed
himself while in that Office to be man
OF sense and man of courage. He did
be bossed by them. He did what the con-
ceired to be his duty. and 1t was gen
orally conceded by the press OF New
York that he did the city a valuable
service. From al, that We know OF
him we believe him to be well qualified
to hll the position Of Governor. and the
Democrats have good chance Of elect
ing him.
The platform adopted by the conven-
ton is conservative except in one par
ticular The exception is the plank de-
mancing government ownership and con-
troll of the anthracite coal mines. This
is clearly departure from Democratic
principles. II the government is to own
and operate the anthracite coal mines
1t may with equal propriety own and
operate the bitumnous coal mines, the
oil wells and the iron mines OF the
country: and If 1t may own and operate
these it may consistently own and oper-
ate the raiiroa de and the telegraph and
steamship lines and all the great in
6ustries which are owned by: trusts.
All this is at variance with the prin-
cipie and practice OF the Democratic
party from the beginning. and we are
sorry TO see that the New York Democ-
racy has countenanced it. It is dan
gerous departure and is, in our opinion.
a great blunder-
It was said several days ago that there
was danger OF & split on the financial
question: that some would demand

TO have gotten around the difficulty by
ignoring the question altogether. There
is no mention of Bryan. or free silver Or

The Situation at the University.

EditorMot The Times:
The reported, rumor in The Times that
Mr. Miles would resign from the Board OF.
Visitors with the view OF being elected
TO a Irofessorship Of economies, and also
chairman of the faculty i'll the UNIVERSE
". had not received serious considera-
ton until Mr. Miles came to the Uni
versity and corroborated the report init
mating also that it was a foregone con-
clusion. inasmuch as the visitors have al
ready decided upon such action.
The subsequent appearance in print of
an article by a member of the Board of
Visitors substantially supporting Mr.. Miles
views brings the matter to the serious at
tentlon Of the alumni, faculty. and stu
dents of the University, with the results
that indignant protests are being formu-
lated BY these three bodies against such
action.
1t would seem to a conservative OBJ
server of the situation that this growing
tempest ofsin6ignation. opposition and
even feeling. on the part OF the friends OF
the University is really but a waste Of
energy. when regarded from one point
of view to be presently discussed. From
another point of view, however. 1t is very
gratifying to see how near and dear the
University and her interests are to- Vir-
sinians. and how ready and willing they
are to rally in defense when an attack
is made upon her welfare.
The friends of the University may calm
their fears. for Mr.. Miles will neither
be made chairman of the faculty nor will
he be appointed as professor of econo-
mics by this Board OF Visitors, for the
following very pertinent reasons:
The present Board Of Visitors Is COM
posed of some of the highest. ab1est,
strongest and most intelligent men in the
state OF Virginia. They are men of at
fairs and Judgment. and it can be posi-
lively stated with all confidence that the
visitors are not going to act on any
important question which concerns the
University, such as the present one. with

It I. reported to Us that some men are
actively seeking position on the State
Board of Education. We are distressed
to hear it. A position of this sort is
position Of honor and responsibility and
Of public trust, and is neither to b.. sought
nor declined. There IS an awakening in
Virginia on the subject OF pubic instruc-
ton and determination on t;Ge part of
the people to improve their schools and
to give to every child il the Common
wealth an opportunity to get good
common school education. The State
Board of Education under the new Con-
stitution has been enlarged, and ~, de-
sign is to have ii composed OF represent
tatire men and of thoroughly unselfish
men, whose one and controlling desire is
to promote the interests of tho public
school system. 1t is no place for self
seekers The very best men should be
selected and no man should thrust him
self forward as a candidate. In every
selection that is made the office should
seek the man.

presidents of the anthracite coal COM
NAMES and President Mitchell, of the
United Mine Workers. to meet with him
a. the White House tomorrow lin re-
gard to the failure Of he coal supply.
which has become q. matter Of vital con-
Germ to the whole nation
Here is another outbreak OF Roosevelt
ism and on general principles we do not
like it. 1t looks too much like govern
mont interference with the private affairs
OF men. and President Roosevelt thus
gives additional proof OF his ho'ief IN
nationalism What has the President of
the United States to do with a
dispute in the State of Pennsylvania be-
tween the owners of coal mines and their
operators? If Mr.. Mitchell and the wire
owners should decline the Presise '>i' S in
yitation and politely inform him that 1t
was none of his business. he could not
blame them.
But We suppose that they will all ac-
cept his invitation. even though it reads
like an official summons, and hear what
he has 10 say. and if the Presiden. can
induce them to come to terms and end
the strike the people a large will not

Mr.. Bob Suggs Shoots An Old Con-
jure Doctor.
Mr.. Bob Suggs, who lives near
Jason, in Greene county, shot man
named Charley Odum, who claimed
to be Mexican and conjure doc
tor, on last Monday morning and the
Mexican died last night from the eff
fects of the wound.
The Mexican doctor, who is about
20 years old and claimed to be 11O,
was farming on Mr.. Suggs' land.
Some days ago Mr.. Suggs insisted
that the doctor harvest his crop and
the two men had some words. Last
Monday morning the old doctor
started to go into the yard at Mr..
Suggs' home and the latter ordered
the old man to stay out. He turned
around and went back home, which
was only a short distance away and
got his pistol. When he returned he
began shooting at Mr.. Suggs, who
was struck once on the hip, and who
went into the house and got his shot
gun, with which he shot the Mexi-
can in the arm. Again the old doc
tor fired his pistol and again Mr..
Suggs fired his shotgun, the last
load taking effect in the chest Of his
opponent. The old doctor lived un-
til last night.

the sympathy of their many friends
in the death of their infant baby,

Sheriff Scott has received a letter
from party in Georgia asking for a
description of Frank Winn, the ne
gro who killed his nephew at Mt.
Olive and who jumped his bond
rather than stand trial. It is sup
posed that the letter received by the
Sheriff was responsible for the rum
or circulated on the street yesterday
that Winn had been captured in
Georgia. There is a reward of $500
for his capture and if he is caught he
will make the third person to be
tried for capital offense at the No
