(tone down in the last seven days
that our limited amount of space
will not ridmlt an accoant of each
one separately. The panic In
Wall street. New York, on last
Wednesday was most startling,
and the autborlties do oot hesi
tate in sayiug that the decline of

? ' ,1'., , .in,.
The hog product in the United
States last year was as large as
it ever was. The high prices
are not on acconnt of a short
crop. It is because Germany and
France, which bad laws exclud
ing the American hog, modified
their action. The exportation of
pork is increasing every year.
The United States Is the greatest
. hog producing co.untry in the
world. South America and Aus
tralia compete with us in raising
cattle and sheep, but they are
nothing on raiamg hogs.
! Life is taken up with a regu
lar routine of caret* and responsi
bilities and many men think they
are too busy to spend any time
with political affairs. Especially
is this true of public spirited men
who unselfishly give of their
valuable time for the public in
terests. In this year, when to
the usual business cares are add
ea toe uncertainties of tbe future
and the danger of tbe present in
commercial transactions, there is
unusual danger of such neglect.
Men who make a business of
politics are ever on the alert to
take advantage of the carlessness
of those who are so absorbed in
their own affairs that- they have
no time to devote to the interest
of the public. Professional poli
' ticians are not affected by mon
entaiy crises. Now is the time
fer Republicans to keep alert and
prepare for effective work in the
future.
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
life and inaugurate a broad and
sweeping reform. It must be
conceded that in Prof. Thomas
0. Miller, of Fairmont, tbe facul
ty receives a grand man and one
who will till the position to which
he has been called, gracefully
and satisfactorily. 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 regards Mr. Armstrong
who goes to the chair of mathe
matics. However, when certain
professor* were "bounced," it
was to be presumed tiiat their
places would be tilled by better
men. This evideutly , has not
been done. The action of the
board in demanding the resigna
tlon of Dr. Turner and ull 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
Br. Turner's care and unless the
regents had a proper and well
?qualified mau to at once assume
control, no change ought to have
been made in the presidency of
the institution.
In the midst of all the financial
reverses that are paralyzing the
country's prosperity, the Demo
cratic press is crying for "wild
cat" money. Last week the Pro
gress, a Georgia newspaper, gave
out the following on the question
of State banks :
"If State banks are establish
ed on a sound basis, with proper
safeguards, it would be as good
as the paper now in circulation.
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?
Do you know that of the two
hundred banks that have ''gone
under" since this year Of 1898 set
in, no one has lost a dollar by
having their paper currency in
his possession? It stands to the
glory Of the Republican party
that it has fostered and maintain
ed the grandest banking system
the world ever sawl No bank can
now issue paper money until
every dollar has been secured by
United States bondsand although
the bahks may fail and their of
ficers skip to Canada the notes
are as good as golcL We have
to-day in'our country many peo
ple who remember the rottenness
of the old State banks and they
cannot be stuffed with* such non
sense as these Democratic papers
proclaim.
When the News stated some
weeks ago that the West Virgin
ia Business College had bought
the Broaddus College buildings
some persons, and especially our
esteemed contemporary, under
took to say that it was not true.
Nevertheless, the News wus right
and the Business College will
take possession about August
1st, and After making some re
pairs will be ready for work in
their new quarters about Sep
tember 1st. Broaddus has not
yet secured a new location, but
we hope to see it a successful in
stitution in the future.
Yes, friends the Telegram
said it was not true, and used
language in its issue of June 16th,
about as follows:
"Several newspapers are still
saying that Broaddus College has
been sold. It is positively not
true." We spoke of the ridiculous
phase of such assertions and fur
ther said: "If you hear of any
setof people looking for some
one to bick them you may know
who it is."
We insisted several weeks ago
that this Business College never
would own Broaddus College.
We must still insist that we were
right, and we challenge our es
teemed contemporary to produce
evidence that A. C. Davis had
secured any funds worth men
tioning with which to make said
purchase.
