HE THIRD DISTRICT ELECTION

Senator KENNA carried the Third
100000, s.ss,SIsj.'ysu u-~ore-or f7,uUo.
Mr.. SNYDER's majority will not be so
large in numbers, but promi.eS to be
proportionately large in the ;ggregate
vote. His majority will he sufficiently
large to refute any claim q diminution
in the Democratic ranks and to dis
courage any hope Of Republican in
crease
II had teen fully anticipated that the
vote would be exceedingly light. There
are three principal reasons for thlS:
First, it was special election. Second
", il was the busiest season of the year
among farmers. Besides two or three
counties Of the district are afflicted with
the smallpox scourge. 1t is probable
that in Mercer aud Wyoming counties
not one-fourth of the vote was polled, If
indeed, an election was held at all.
Fourth, while there was quite an aver
age degree Of interest in the election
manifested through the State, there
was not as thorough a canvass
made i'll the district as has
been supposed. We are informed
by q gentleman of Charleston, who is
very familiar with the operations of the
whole campaign, that outside of the
candidates themselves, there was very
little work done, and especially on the
rart Of the Democrats. He states that
there was q general feeling of assurance
that Mr.. SNYDER would go in with a
coed margin, and any extra effort WAS
regarded as superfluOrs. For example,
in Kanawha county the Democrats
allowed the election to go by default.
The Republicans, however, made special
efforts in the latter county. They can.
vassed it very thoroughly. They also
brought out their vote in many other
localities much more generally than did
the Democrats.
While it may be some days before an
official summary of the vote is received,
We think the result viii prove to be as
above indlcared-a small vote but q
satisfactory majority fcrthe democratic
candidate,

taxation. This added to the taxation OF
railroad property heretofore exempt, a. re-
quirea by the constitution as it has been
construed By the Supreme Court OF APP
peals will greatly enlarge the aggregate OF
personal property and increase the State
revenue.
From this showing it appears prudent
for the Republican press to ease up little
on the false cry Of oppression Vt the sgri-
cultural classes. IL is highly probably that
the enforcement of the correct rule of the
Constitution that taxation shall be equal
and uniform throughout the State" will
become q sort of farmers watch cry in
the near future, when they shall
have ascertained by the cur
rent assessment figures that they
have been heretofore hoodwinked and de-
ceived By other interests which have used
them as q lever to get more substantial
Exemptions than were conceded TO the ag-
griculturists. OF course the taxes til
tresent year will be one cent or two, or
maybe ten cents higher to the farmer tina
they have been; but when results sre as
ccttained il will bring such corresponding
reductions to them as will make them glad
il all happened"

PUT The IHUMBsCREw DOWN On
MALONE.

Ifthere is any virtue in the pending
scheme for Civil Service reform; il the
penalties provided by that plan are to
be enforced as well as the rules for ex-
aminations and promotions, then 1t Is
due that the thumbscrew should at once
be turned on MAHoNE, and that he be
made an example of for open and out
rsgeOus violation Of these laws.
II Congressman DEzENDoRF Is not
guilty Of gross exaggerationsand falsiti-
cations, MALONE is guilty Of gross vio-
lation Of law, and 1t is DEZENDoRF's
duty to lay before the United States
Attorney the facts upon which his
accusations are based and demand that
the law take its course. 1t is all the
more urgent and important that this
should be done, because it is alleged and
believed that MALONE represents the
Administration and is backed by the
patronage and the unstinted aid of the
Administration in the peculiar schemes
that he is prosecuting in Virginia. II
the Administration is playing fast and
loose with Civil Service reform, il IS
specially important that it should be
smoked out and the country unde.
cCiyed as to the situation.
According to the statements OF Mr..
DEzENpORF, MALONE has directly or
indirectly solicited or been concerned in
soliciting, assessments, subscriptions, or
contributions for political purposes from
employees Of the United States or from
rersons receiving salary or compensa-
ton from moneys derived from the
treasury of the United States" This Is
the language of the eleventh section Of
the act of Congress, approved Jan. 10
| 1888. 1t describes with reasonable COM
pleteness the acts attributed by Mr..
DEZENDORF to Mr.. MALONE. The
| fifteenth section of the same act say
that ''any person who shall be guilty of
violating any provision" of the section
| referred to "shall be deemed guilty OF
misdemeanor, and shall, on conviction
thereof, be punished by a fine not ex-
ceeding $1,000, or by imprisonment for
term not exceeding three years, or by
such fine and imprisonment both, in
| the discretion of the court"
Now let us see ifthere is any virtue
in the penal clause of the civil service
regulations. MALONE is the very best
subject upon which to operate, that
could be selected.

What do you think Of the light style OF

Journalist is the man who uses each style,
as the occasion requires, and fights with
napier Just as skiliully as he can handle
80 pound rifled Parrot, but the tendency OF
modern journalism, as in every sort OF in

pERArING MITH pEnAGoGrEs

We have not thought it necessary or
pertinent to discuss the questions that
have recently arisen in relation to re-
assessment, from party standpoint.
We cannot discern that it involves any
party principle or policy or responsible
ty. il is not party measure in any
sense, but simply and solely a question
Of the execution of law. 1t was
law under Republican administrs-
ton and 1t is law under Demo-
cratic administration. Two constitu-
tiOnal conventions have thoroughly
discussed and finally incorporated the
same provision in the organic law.
There may be Democrats who may
differ as to the wisdom Of the law ard
who may favor its repeal. They may
do this without violating any party
pledge or platform. There may be
others who believe that the principal
Osequal and uniform taxation is absO-
lutely just, and should be maintained
and enforced as part of our organic
law. Certain il is that 80 long rs it is q
part Of the organic law all men out to
Bgree that it should be enforced and
made effective.
But so far no necessity exists for the
Democratic party to enter into q dirty
debate with class of demagogues who
are seeking, by the most shallow and
contemplate methods, to pervert a
question of law and government to the
lowest plane of partisan prejudice. In
its own good time this thing will react,
or the people Of West Virginia are less
intelligent than We give them credit
for being.
We do not say that thi matter Of
taxation is not subject to be discussed.
1t is matter that deserves and will
command the attention of our people,
but from different motives and q higher
standpoint than that now occupied by
the Republican press. In the line Of
these higher considerations We COM
mend the comments OF the Huntington
advertiser:
at turns out, as the assessment Of per
sonal property progresses in the different
counties, that the products Of the farm"
heretofore exempted from taxation, are
really in~onsiderable in aggregate value,
so that the increased taxes produced by its
assessment will amount, so far as the State
tax Is concerned, to only few hundreds of
dollars. This because on the 6rst day of
Janusry, when the ann al assessment dates,
the afore said products are usually
marketed, leaving only small amount on
hands. On the other hand the assessors in
manufacturing and mining distrcts are
finding millions of dollars worth of proper.

ppoTFcTJOy or THE INSANE.

The Pennsylvania Legislature has taken up
the Insane Asylum business in earnest. lie
scandals connected with these institutions have
been growing in magnitude with every year.
The accusation is made that under the lax
laws of most Of the States regulating admission
TO them sane persons are incmcerated for years
by interested relatives and also that cruelties
are permitted which could not take place even
i'm our prisons. Governor HOyt was so anxious
that these abuses should he remedied, or at least
made impossible within the limits of PennNyl-
yania, that before his term Of Office expired he
appointed n commission, consisting oi the
most eminent phianthrOpists and medical
specialists in nervous disorders in the State, To
draw I'D a bill regulating the admission OF pa
tents to these asyums and their protection
while inmates. This bill has been carefully
prepared and is summary OF the best legal
enactments concerning the insane in this and
European countries. 1t is now before the
Pennsylvania Legislature, and If 1t becomes
law will probably bo accepted as model to be
initiated elsewhere.
There is surely no reason why the rights
of the insane should not he protected
The charge that sane men have been immured
for years and that the patients have been lett
TO the tender mercies OF brutal attendants may
not be true. THE TRIBUNE is neither judge
nor counsel in these individual cases. But
Is is an evident fact that as the aSylumS are
now regulated there is no reason why they
| should not he tue. There is no adequate legal
| obstacle to prevent any man from incarceratng
| n troublesome sane relative IN one of these
| houses, provided he can pay for that relatives
support there and there is no legal means Of
escape for the patient, no matter how brutal
| bis kceper chances to be- He is not allowed to
communicate with his friends or his lawyer; he
| is. in word, more Of prisoner than any con-
| Wet.
There should be absolute safeguards, and
! if the superintendents of the asylums were con-
scious of their own innocence IN the matter
| they would he first to urge the passage of laws
which would prove that innocence. 1t IL u
singular fact, however that the superintend-
ents of asylums against whom the charges have
been invariably made bitterly oppose all such
legal protection of the patient. 1t is strange
! they do not see how shoTt-sighted is such pol
| icy. Their hostility ia inexplicable on any
other theory than that they fear investigation.
