Commissioners lett this morning en- route
Tor Louisville, St. Louis and Chicago.
They report great satisfaction with their
cordial reception in Ohio. The inlorms-
don they communicated about the cen.
tennial work they believe has made a
favorable impression upon the public
mind. They express themselves delighted
TO tlnd that the ablest men OF Ohio, oI
both parties, have committed themselves
to the enterprise, and that the indications
are that all the annual expositions OF the

tricts before the 20Eh Of October.
KFERcTs OF THE DRY WEATHER.
"a The protrGted dry weather has pro.
vented the plowing Of sod grounds for
wheat and delayed sowing In corn
grounds in all the Ohio valley. On &C
count OF the failure Of pastures much live
stock has been put upon the market,
which otherwise would have been kept
over winter. II rain does not come soon
the results will be serious. Water for
stock Is scarce already in many sections.

Judge LoomIs.

Judge LooMp, Of Wood county, whc
made such telling speech before tn
Opera House Convention on the Sd inst.
has been solicited by over 700 voters o
Wood, Writ, Tyler and Peasants countIel
to become q candidate for the State Sen
ate from the Fourth Senatorial District
The letter 70 him 60, numerously signed
Is as follows: .l
The undersigned citizsns and tax.pay-
era Of the Fourth senatorial District oI
West Virginia, having confidence In your
ability, integrity, and patriotism, and be.
lieYl6g they will oil be exerted In behalf
Of the restoration Of good government and
the repeal Of those Legislative enact.
ments that have brought oppression upon
the tax payers and Disgrace upon the 10.
telligence Of our State, would respectfully
request that you consent to become the
peoples candidate for the position oI
State Senator from this Senatorial Dis.
tTict. IL you consent, we promise your our
cordial and active support during the can.
VAss, and at the polls on election day.
In the course Of his reply to the above,
consenting to be candidate, Judge
LOOMS says:
III were to consult my private feelings
and business relations merely, both In
clinatlon and interest would impel me to
decline the profered honor; but there
are considerations OF greater weight than
these-the people Of our State are suffer
ing from the effects Of unwise legislation,
and, Judging from the past, they have
well grounded fears that present oppres-
sions may continue indefinitely. They
demand change 10 existing laws that
shall be more In accord with lust and
equitable principles. Taught by the Bit
Ter lessons Of experience, they are wisely
ignoring the behests OF party, land calling
TO their assistance such public agents as
they believe will act honestly, looking to
tho general good. rather than to personal.
advancement and to partisan aims.
The Parkersburg Journal says that
Judge LOOMS has never yet failed to re-
ceiVe majority Of the votes every time
he has been candidate before the people,
and says that his candidacy this time Is
equivalent to an election. Z s.nt

THE Cincinnati Gazette exposes the
humbug about National Banks not psy.
ing due amount of taxes. 1t says:
1.-THE National Banks Of Cincinnati
with capital OF $4,254034, psy local
tax on $4274,9S4, while the private
bankers, with q capital Of 2,526, ,147, pay
local tax on $l,5l3,225. In addition,
the National Banks pay q Government
tax on their capital, deposits and clrcuIa.
ton equal to the local tax, so that they
pay altogether over 4 per cent tax on
their capital. The net profits OF the Ma.
tional Banks In the United States last
year averaged 0 per cent. Yet the Dem.
ocrats would wipe out banking system
that is fully taxed, and establish q system
that would ev&de taxation on more than
half the capital employed.

The last New York bank statement Is
untavorable to any prospect for an i'm.
provement in general business, for 1t in
dicates that there has been no dis.ribu-
tion Of the late funds held in that city to
the rural districts, On the contrary,
there Is an actual gain in greenbScks,
while the reduction In loans shows that
even with the increased volume Of bus.
iness on the Stock Exchange, the banks
are unable to keep their money employ
ed, Notwithstanding the low rates Of in
terest current, The reduction In specie
is considerable, and this doubtless caused
the advance in gold on Saturday. The
net reserve was reduced only $4l,6OO,
and the banks still hold $25 1906, 100 over
he legal requirement.
