"When the clock in the steeple struck
twelve" yesterday, Senator McGrew, oi
Monongalia county, by virtue Of an appre-
ciative constituency and the acceptable
performance OF the trust reposed in him
the Oldest Senator in point Of service, called
the senateto order. And, parenthetically,
is it not a fact worthy Of note that the Sem
ator named is Republican. The disinter.
ested public, il rising as one individual,
would undoubtedly give an affirmative an.
swer. Rev. Dir. D. a. Cunningham, pastor
OF the First Presbyterian Church, in.
voked the Divine blessing on the
body, and asked the Senators to be
guided by wisdom in their actions and dis
cretion in their deliberations. The re.
mainder OF the session was devoted to car
rying out the mandates OF the Democratic
caucus in electing the candidates chosen
for the various Offices, the swearing in OF
the new Senators and other iormalities in
cident to the opening Of the Legislature.
The Governors message was not handed
in until late hour in the afternoon, and
the Senate being very much fatigued by
the arduous labon OF few hours cut the
clerks elocution short by ordering the
message to be laid on the table and printed,
and then sought rest in adjournment.

Ex.SENAToE HEREFORD is an old hand al
political campaigning; and IT. Is no disre'
spect 10 him to say that he would not have
withdrawn from the contest II he had
thought there was any chance for him
What he says elsewhere gives thoughtful
nen something to ponder over. II the
ISrELLIoEScER were permitted to name tue
successor to Senator Davis 1t Is unnecessary
TO say that Mr.. Hereford would not be the
mani but every eligible citizen Of West
Virginia who aspires to public prefermenl
is entitled TO fair chance, and the Legis'
lature is entitled to make It's own selection
free from that offensive style Of diCtatior
which goes by. the expressive name OF boss
ism. And it matters not whether bossism as
snmes the guiSe Of political power, corporate
power, or money, or combination Of al
three, it is odious to self.respecting mer
and destructive Of representative govern
ment The statement which Mr.. Hereford
makes, that he has been driven from the
field by bossism in as vile a form as 1t evel
cun take on, writes q shameful chapter In
tue history OF West Virginia. A ARepublioar
newspaper might be expected 10 picl
flaws in the methods OF the opposing part,
or any agency thereof, but here Is a Aa
charge made by n distinguished aud re
sponsible member Of that party. And wher
the honor Of the State is involved We taxi
it that honorable men strike handG ant
iOrm one grand party Of honest citizens o
West Virginia. We know 1t ia the habi

Mr.. CLEMENS MARX Twain having
brought suit against Chicago publishing
trm for the unauthorized use Of his nom de
,lumt, the United States District Court de.
cides that a nom de plume is not a trade
mark, aud therefore the suit is dismissed
with costs. Beyond doubt this is good
law, but the use OF Mr.. Clemens
writing name without his authority
was bad morals. Mr.. Clemens
has given value to "Mark Twain" and he
desires to reserve that to his own use for
the same reason that the private firm laid
hold Of it. The authors only protection
is to copyright everything he writes, and
that does not always avail against tho
Cheap John publishers.

THERE is a very respectable minority in
this Legislature, which thought it not toe
much to ask the appointment to commit
tee clerkship of man who in .he lasl
Legislature showed his conspicuous fitness
for the place. The Speaker, doubtless un'
derstandiug his party's policy, begins by
taking double turn on the party line. A
strong, determined minority has been
known to make itself very effective fol
yoOd under such conditions.

RErRospEcT1oS,

1t may be wicked, but the chronicler Of
facts never goes back on history, and the
contrast OF the closing scenes OF the late Ia
mented Legislature with the solemn and
sedate opening Of the present body cannot
be passed by in default OF reference to that
memorable saturnalia Of choice spirits.
The war dance around the limp and almost
liieless body OF tired Senator, the arenic
combats OF the gladiatos, the glad choruses
Of the victors, all pass before the
public view in panoramic distinctness,
the dark tragedy somewhat tinged
with the lighter colors OF comedy.
1t was truly an occasion when
men were punched" to make Bourbon
holiday, and 1t is but simple justice to the
managers OF the exhibition to state that no
feature down on the programme was omit.
