the removal of DR.. Paul B. Barringer

Letters have been sent to all members
of the Board of Visitors, calling atten-

stitution, and demanding that change
be made for the welfare of the institu-

Alumni Association is also more or less
involved in the attack on the manage

this effort on the part of Mr.. Priddy ia
no surprise to DR.. Barringer and his

that Judge Mann seriously considered

decided not to do so. 1t is now believed
by some of the wise ones that Judge

One Wliiisui L. Wilson. of Kansas

City, thinks human. beings should re-
strict their wearing apparel to one gar
ment only. and that of cheap cotton
fabric. That's what large proportion
of the people of the United States will
have to do if Protection OF the Aldrich-
Payne-Canuon brand is continued in
force and effect much longer. -Nofolk
Virginian-PilOt-
Our run-mad snti-protection contem-
porary seems to learn nothing from ex-
perience The people of the United
States were better fed and better
clothed while the Dingley law was in
force than they had ever been before.
And the people who work and are cheer
full will be as we'll clothed and well fed
under the Payne tariff. Only the lazy
and thriftless will have to wear the sin
gle garment, and that will, perhaps, be
as acceptable as the patched breeches
that were worn while the last Demo-
cratic tariff was in force. Which gar
ment will the brilliant editor elect to
wear under the awful conditions he an
ticipates as coming from the Payne
tariff? Neither. He will all the time
be beautifully clothed in body and also
in mind. except on this one question of
tariff.
1t strikes US as a little peculiar and
significant that this man Wilson, of
Kansas, who makes the suggestion
about the one-garment apparel bears
the same name as the author of the last
Democratic tariff. He must have a
suspicion that the tariff agitators will
so befuddle the people that they will be
induced to once again give the Demo-
Gratis control of tariff legislation. So
believing he benevolently desires to
have the people train themselves to
stoically bear the calamity which al
ways follows Democratic tariffs.

Secretary Meyers Reforms.
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
The Secretary of the Navy is, first of
all. business man of experience and
sound judgment. In the Postofice De-
partment he gave proof of the posses-
sion of those qualities. There some re-
forms and changes that he had planned
encountered Observation-Disclosures of n
political nature. Not much has been
said about them, but they were so for
midsble that it is understood that Mr..
Meyer willingly exchanged the Post
master Geueralship for the navy port
folio. In that department there was
an opportunity, and he was the man
for it.
The country has heard much of the
astonishing bureau system, of the di-
vision and communion of authority
and responsibility, of the jealousies of
line and staff, and of the confusion in
evitahly resulting from a false and un-
workable method of administration.
Out of this chaos Mr.. Never. after
months Of dIligent student study and
conference. has brought the beginning
of order That will be recognized as
the foundation, the primary quality of
the system he has now established.

The Virginia Democracy have claimed
to be in perfect accord and sympathy
with Mr.. Bryan in his war upon the
trusts. When has the Virginia Legis-
lature enacted any law that was adverse
to the trusts, or that might be properly
termed antitrust legislation? We can
recall but one measure, the Wharton
insurance law. That law was repealed
by a Democratic Legislature, under
very suspicious circumstances; and all
efforts to re-enact it have been foiled
by subsequent Legislatures.

Eastern part of the State and which
causes mortality that reaches as high

OF great virulence and spreads rapidly
among unvsccinated persons in spite of

Northern Africa, making its first ap-

tackled suffer severely and are terribly
marked for life by the disease.
