THE New York Sun recalls attention
to Secretary FoLGER's prophecy that a
Democratic victory in the recent cleo
ton would be followed by great shrink
sge in values of property throughout
the country. 1t gives also a table show
ing to what extent this prophecy has
been realized. Government four per
cent. bonds in New York and London
were quoted on November 20 at eX-
actly the same price as that given on
October II, when Secretary FOLGER
made his prediction, and only one-eighth
49, ss,is.ssNssssss y sSS 7VooH
stood the same on November 20 as on
November s; Pennsylvania railroad
stock, One-eight higher; Chicago, Bur
lingtOn and Quincy stock, three and
One-half per cent. lower; Union Pacific
stock, exactly the same; Western URion
Telegraph stock, one and five-eighths
per cent. higher, and New York and
New Haven Railroad stock, two per
cent. higher. These are representative
quotations, and they show how utterly
unfounded are all theories connecting
politics with the value of property
when the financial policy Of both parties
Is 80 well known and well established
as now.

are barely enough people in tia Terri
tory to make good-sized Congressional
district, and the fight that will be made
this winter should be resisted to the
end by the Democrats.
New Mexico also, wants to become q
Stste. A bin to admit that Territory
was introduced some years ago. and the
effort to pass one was renewed last wfn-
ter, and no doubt will be continued at
the coming session. Washington Ter
ritory also asks to be clothed with the
privileges and power Of . State, and q
bill to admit Il pending. And Wyo-
ming knocks at the doors Of the Union,
claiming to be entitled to admission.
There Is no present necessity for adj
hitting these Territories, or any one Of
them, to the List of States. But the
politicians in these Territories want
more offices created, and, as the Re
publicans are largely in the majority Ia
all OF them, the present Republican
House Of Representatives. look favora-
bly, upon the scheme. The Senate is
about evenly divided between the two
parties. A determined effort on the
part Of the Republicans to admit any OF
them would doubtless lead to q pro-
longed struggle. Meanwhile, what
will become of the great questions be-
fore Congress?

A Progressive MAN


Hon. Henry G. Davis, in q letter 10 the
Wheeling REGIsTER, announces that he il
not candidate for reelection to the L. S
Senate. The chief reason assigned by Sen
ator Davis for the step thus taken is thai
the immense lumber, coal and railroad
business in which he. together with Other
capitalists, is largely interested, will hence
forth require all his time and personal at
tention. He states that it is the purpose Of
himself and the gentlemen with whom he
is associated in building the line Of rail
road diverging from the b. & o. at Bloom
ingtou, Nd, to extend thisenterprise until
connection is made with the C. & o. r. r
While many will regret that the State will
lose the valuable services Of its senior Sen
ator in the upper House of Congress, it i:
gratifying to know that he win continue tc
use his great wealth in developing the rich
and varied resources with which nature
has favored our Commonwealth. With 6
few more progressive men of means, such
as Senator Davis, to invest their money in
our midst, West Virginia would soon take
a proud position among her sister States.

A wrongly Named Man.

Guiding Star" Stories in the Chicago NerS.
This story related upon the boats to-day
brought out one from a visitor who said
that in his native town in Kentucky was 8
wealthy merchant by the name of Sledge
He was very stout man, with very weak
child's voice. A Cincinnati business man,
who had sold Sledge thousands OF dollars
worth of goods without seeing him, came
finally to visit Sledge's village. He hunted
up his rich customer the Cincinnati man
was large, full, and deep chested, with a
voice like bull. He went into Sledge's
store and roared: ~ want to see Mr..
Sledge." Sledge piped out in q shrill
treble in reply: my name is sledge."
The Cincinnati man drew back at the sound
Of this mild voice, as he exclaimed: "Your
name Sledge-I will be hanged If it o1ght
not to be Tack-hammer."

Judge John J. Jackson, Judge of the Dis

other day, in Charleston, in the case OF
wakemsn vs.. VIM. Thompson, that there
is no authority in this State to sell forfeited
lands for the benefit of the school fund.
This is the same case that caused the trou.

Of jurisdiction between the State aud Fed

MORE COMPETITION AND Less ES-
PIONAGE

JOHN w. GARRETT has stirred up a
good deal Of interest In his new cable
to Europe by exposing the character of
the present monopoly.
All the present cables are consolidat-
ed in one syndicate, and the strands of
every one of them on this side the
Atlantic twist right into the hands of
JAY GOULD. No message can pass
over the cables without being submit
TO the officers Of that company.
When it is remembered that tele-
grams shonld be as sacred as letters in
their freedom from inspection by any
one, iI will be seen how disgraceful is a
state of affairs which submits the cable
messages Of two continents to the pry-
ing gaze of JAY GOULD or his retainers.
Even though Mr.. CARROTS new
cable company should not reduce the
tolls one cent below their present rates
il will have done a world Of good in es-
tablishihg an improved code Of tele-
graphic morals.
One Of the objections to a govern
ment control Of the telegraph-and a
very serious one-until the method of
conducting the public business is wholly
changed, Is embodied in this question
by che New York Post: "What would
be the effect upon business of putting
the chief offices of the telegraph service
up as rewards to the Mikes, Barneys
and Johnnys Of the Republican party,
and then turningthem ale at the end
OF four years in favor Of the Mikes,
Barneys and Johnnys ofthe Democratic
party"
The multiplication of offices to be
given as brides OF rewards for party ser
vices, or controlled by a political ring
for the advantage Of its members, Is
sufficient objection to government
ownership at present. The abuses that
would be invited by giving the agents
Of the party in power a knowledge Of all
that passed over the wires need not be
enlarged upon. They suggest them
selves. The country cannot stand any
further mixing Of politics in its business.
