after the adoption of the constitution. 1t has
become the common practice. All parties, when
in power, have adopted it. Many abuses and a
great waste of public money have in this way
orept into appropriation bills. The public
opinion of the country is against it. The States
which have recently sdopted constitutions have
generally provided remedy for the evil by en-
acting that no laws shall contain more than one
subject, which shall be plainly expressed in its
title. The constitutions of more than half Of
the States contain substantially this provision
The public welfare will be promoted in many
ways by return to the early practice OF the
Government and to the true principle of legls-
lation, which requires that every measure shall
stand or fall according to its own merits. Ii 1t
was understood that to attach to an approprla-
ton bill measure irrelevant to the general OBJ
ject of the bill would imperil and probably pre-
vent its final passage and approval, valuable
reform in the parliamentary practice OF Con-
gress would be accomplished.
The best justification that has been offered
for attaching irrelevant riders to appropriation
bills is that is done for convenience sake, to
facilitate the passage of measures which are
deemed expedient by all branches of the Gov
eminent which participate in the Legislation
1t cannot be claimed that there Is any such
reason for attaching this amendment of the
Election law to tie Army Appropriation
bill. The history of the measure con-
tradicts this assumption. A majority of the
House of Representatives in the last Congress
was in favor of this section to this bill 1t was
known that majority of the Senate was OPP
posed to it, and tnat as separate measure 1t
could not be adopted 1t was attached to the
Army Appropriation bill to compel the Senate
to assent to it. 1t was plainly announced to the
Senate that the Army Appropriation bill would
moi be allowed to pass unless the proposed
amendments Of the Election laws were adopted

For COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT A.
L. Wade publishes card in another
column in which he responds to the
call of many friends to again accept
the office of County Superintendent.
Mr.. Wade has held this office so long
and discharged its duties so faithful
ly and successfully that he needs no
recommendation from us. The office
is not a political one and we can sup
port Mr.. Wade with all our heart.
All he has to do is to let the people
know that he will serve and his re-
election is certain. No Superintend-
ent in the State has brought the
schools of his county to the degree
of excellence that Mr.. Wade has in
Monongalia and the people are not
willing that he shall retire from 50
useful work. SO we take it that
he will be his own successor.

ARNETTSyILLE.

Last Sunday evening about the
closing hours of twilight large
crowd of men and boys gathered in
a grove near Eliza Barb's to witness a
chat between John ID. Snider and his
son-in, law, William Fisher. The
hour design ated for the interview was
precisely at II a'clock according to a
prophetic vision of James NJ. Henry,
Well, being born skeptic, your cor
respondent was not there, but | am
informed the crowd was considerable,
'many going out of mere eurosity,"
others eagerly expectant to see the
spectre ''put in an appearance" and
hear wonderful revelations from the
spirit land Our informant says
the assemblagc reminded him of an
old fashioned quaker meeting, nothing
heard above the "wee, still voice"
As the hour of II approached all
eyes were turned toward the central
figure Mr., Fisher) who had come
armed to the teeth for any emergency.
Right here | would like TO draw q
night picture of the solemn scene,
but space forbids it. The hour of
II come but with it came not the
grave yard apparition. The crowd
fingered expectantly until one, but
John ID. was still invisible, when they
quietly dispersed Living, as we are,
in the last decade of the nineteenth
century of the Christian era, l must
confess that am astonished to see
so many people who are so easily
wrought on by such decisions. If
we would read our Bibles more and
listen less to priest craft we would be
wiser and better people, The grave
of John d. Snider is less than $50
rods from this place, and so far as |
am Informed, it bears no marks of his
resurrection. Such Authorizations are
the offspring of weak minded or de-
signing persons, and should not he
tolerated in an enlightened eommun-
ity.
