The West Virginia University
has received a severe blow at the
hands of the men who went there
last week to infuse it with new

sweeping reform. It must be

"*satiffactorily. The selection
of Mr. Alderson to fill the chair
of ancient languages is not ap
proved oy the alumni and others
who understand the situation.
No serious objection can be urg
ed as regard* Mr. Armstrong
who goes to the chair of mathe
matics. However, when certain
professors were "bounced." it
was to be presumed that their
places would be filled by better
men. This evidently. has not
been done. The action of the
board in demanding the resigna
tion of Dr. Turner and all other
professors and then their failure
to elect another president, leaves
West Virginia's grandest and
.greatest institution of learning
in a very critical condition. The
institution has prospered under
-Or. Turner's care and unless the
^?n?ts,had a PrPPer and well
?qualified man to at once assume
control, no change ought to have
been made in the presidency of
the institution.
*N the mlfUt of all the financial
reverses that are paralyzing the
country's prosperity. the Semo

"If State banks'are establish

safeguards, it would be as good

Nobody complains of that?in
fact it is preferable to either
gold or silver as a circulating
medium."
Did you ever kind reader stop
to think about the grandeur of
our present banking system and
the paper money we have to-day?

Washington, July 22.?Since.
the 1st of January nearly 200
National banks have closed their
doors againstJess than 50 for the
same period last year.
Of the failures this year five
hive been United States depoai-'
tories as follows: The First Na
tional Bank of Little Rock, Ark.,
the Gate City National Bank of
Atlanta, Ga.. the People's Na
tional Bank of Denver, the Ger
man National' Bank of Denver, I
the Kentucky National Bank of I
Louisville, Ky. I
This latter tank, which closed I
to day. had by the last report re-1
ceived 1880,000 of United States
funds. The goverment, however I
will, not lose anything by these I
failures, as each national banit
that is a government depository I
has to deposit United States I
bonds to the amount of govern
ment money, it is allowed to I
carry.
These bonds, in case of the
failure of the bank, are sold for
the account of the government,
and as United States bonds are I
at a premium in the financial
market, there is never any diffi
culty in realizing.
This afternoon Comptroller
Eckels ordered bank examiners
to take charge of the failed banks I
as follows: Escott, at Louis
ville, Ky.; Plumber at Knoxville,
Tenn.; Sawyer, at Russell, Kan.;

at Milwaukee, Wis.
