The Democratic party has had no organi-
cation or discipline, worthy Of the name,
since the FIRST year of its accession to power
Lewis Baker organized the campaign which
gave tbs Democracy control of the State
government in 1871. Since that time we
have been voting like flock of sheep. We
have held the State BY mere blunderbus
methods and blind luck.
There is scarcely county in West Vir-
giuia where the Democrats make any pre-
tense of an organization.
There are apparently the fewest men in
the party who appreciate the needs of Or
ganizatiOn or, know how to effect it.
There are still fewer men who could be
trusted with the work of organizing this
State for the present campaign.
II lis big job?
We don't know that there is man in the
State qualified for it, who could afford, or
be induced to undertake it. .. -..s
And yet it is the vital question of this
campaign. More important than who
shalt make up the State ticket. Itinvolves
the matter of victory or defeat.
We respectfully refer it to the Wheeling

lighter, las the Buckeye has heavy side draft, doing
cleaner work in thin grain and binding the sheaye;
tighter than the Buckeye. In fallen and tangled

Warning New Orleans.

Our esteemed contemporary over at
Dallas, the Herald, tenders solemn all
vice and warming to New Orleans
this, too, on. the eve of Mardi Gras,
when the Crescent City is awhirl with
life and gayeIy-not taking Thought
OF the morrow or caring whether
school keeps or not The Herald warns
New Orleans that her future depends
on holding Yellow Jack at buy this
summer, to the end that the Gotten
centennial may not prove failure
Perhaps the advice Is apropos. Vel
low Jack has visited New Orleans in
times past and he may do 70 again.
But our contemporary should have
waited few days and not cast shud-
ow over the carnival gayeties When
Lent sets in would have ben an APP
propriate time ~ sound the note OF
warn ms and ten'ier the solemn advice.
New Orleans will have headache
then. she will be sitting thoughtful
aud repentant Amid the faded gsrlands
aud burnedout tapers OF the Mardl
@ rus revelrits. She will be prepared
TO take admonition in humble mood
aud heed IL. But, badinage aside, we
apprehend that our friends down AT
tine Crescent City are pretty wide
awake as to the importance of keeping
their city healthy. Since lS7S, the
last visitation OF yellow fever Gas an
epidemic) they have inaugurated ex-
tensive sanitary improvements and
with the best results. They have
had experience enough TO serve
them for all time 10 come. and It'll not
too much TO hope that the last great
scourging 10y yellow lever has been ex-
perienced at New Orleans. 1t Is fair
To presume they will not relax THEN
vigilance this year, and such articles
as the Herald's, while well-meant,
are In fact rather calculated TO deter
nervous people from going to New
o. leans, no matter how clean bill Of
health she may be able to show.
We have heard people, who remember
that Galveston has had visitations OF
yellow fever, object to holding any
kind OF a general gathering there dur
ing the summer months. Commune
ties like Galveston ana New Orleans
may he safely trusted to look out for
their safety and business interests.

The ri ction OF the Lasker resolu-

much and calls for no governmental
action; but there is matter that this
discussion has brought to the surface
that does require Investigation and
prompt and vigorous action. Il is
charged that natunalized Ameri-
can citizens, returning home to
Germany, have been conscripted
and forced TO serve in the army, aud
and that the protests of the Anierica6
minister were treated with contempt.
II this government can't protect its

fact, so that they would 3lot expose

The Election Riots Investigation,

The investigation Of the Danville
election riots does not seem, thus far,
TO have revealed anything OF impor-
lance that was not known before. For
the satisfaction of justice and the
punishment of the guilty trial in IA
criminal court would have answered
the purpose better. But for firing the
heart of the colored people in the
South ond raking up here and there
in the North an occasional spark out
OF the ashes of the extinct fires of sec
tional strife, this pompous and preten-
tious senatorial investigation, no doubt,
does as well for the Republicans as
could he expected from anything in
that line at the present time. II is
evident, however, that the people,
white and black, take very little in
terest in the proceedings.
The popular sense of the absurd,
which the Republican masses ex-
perience quite IA much as the DEM
ocratic, probably rejects as too ridicu-
lous the proposition to magnify local
disturbance into the significance of q
grave national question out of which
to create Il partisan issue for the presi-
dental campaign. Bat If the Repub-
Ian leaders have nothing stronger TO
offer their party as an incentive to
energy and n stimulant to enthusiasm,
so much the worse for them, and so
much the better for the National DeE-
