THE SENATE ADJOURNED.
Leaving Not Acted Upon Eleven
Neutrality-suspicious. which
was McGrawss.

Special TO tho Register.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-The Senate
adjourned Sine die to-day, leaving
eleven nominations made by Presi-
dent Cleveland Enacted upon. Among
those was the nomin alton of John T..
McGraw to be Collector of Internal
Revenue for the State of West Vir-
ginia. After fayorably disposing of
the nomination of Pearson to be post
master at New York and number
of other appointments the nomina-
tiens for Collectors of Internal Rev
enue and Consular appointments was
reached. The first one was that of
John Oscar Henderson, of Kokomo,
Ind, to be Collector of Internal Rev.
enue. Senator Harrison arose and
appealed to Democratic Senators to
allow these nominations to go over
without prejudice. The
REPUBLICAN SENATORS PROTESTED
against being compelled to vote upon
these nominations in their present
condition. The Republicans ex-
pressed their willingness that the
President should remove and appoint
to office whoever he pleased in cases
that did not involve these officers
holding positions under the tenure
of office act where the said officers
held unexpired commissions for a
given period. But the Republican
Senators we're unwilling to be placed
in the attitude ofvoting on nominal
ton which involved the turning out
of office Of one Of their own friends.
They protested against being com
PEELED to vote to fill a vacancy, which
vote would cause removal. This
being the feeling on the Republican
side the Democrats without pressing
the matter at all agreed to a motion
to adjourn
SINE DIE,
leaving number Of nominations,
such as collectors of internal revenue,
postmasters and consular appoint
ments Enacted upon. All these APP
pointments 90 over, however, with
the understanding that the appoint
ments made by the President will go
into effect without the Senate taking
any adverse action. The West Vir-
ginia Senators did not press the case
of McGraw, and it was not called up
for consideration at all. They allow
ed it to go over without being acted
upon. The Finance Committee, how
ever, had made a favorable report in
this case, but under the general under
standing it was thought best not to
press it. The President will at once
proceed to remove the officials for
which successors have been nominal
ed and commission the respective
NOMINEES TO FILL THE VACANCIES.
Senator Kenna will leave for home
tomorrow night.
Senator Camden will remain here
until Saturday.
Frank Waterman, Secretary to
Senator Camden, is suffering from an
attack of pen paralysis caused by
over work in fixing up and endorsing
the bushels of petitions received by
Senator Camden, from West Virginia
office seekers. Waterman leaves hero
on Monday for Parkersburg.

Plant Fruit Trees and Small
Frufts.

There IS nothing that Will add so
much to the value of real estate for
the outlay as fruit trees and plants;
and what is there that contributes
anything like SO much enjoyment
to say nothing of health-to coun-
try home, for the money? One of
the wisest sages of England said:
"Plant trees, for they will be agrow-
in while we are asleepin''' The
popular author, f. P. Roe, wrote:
"a country home without the de-
licious, health imparting small fruits
is like sitting room without fire
place" But as stated in the adage,
Given gold can be bought too DEAR"
therefore, in buying trees and plants
do not buy of the itinerant stree
agent" who, in most cases, buys the
refuse of the nurseries to fill his or.
ders (becausc to be had cheap, and
labels any name his orders call for,
well knowing that when they come
into bearing their owner, when he
seeks his whereabouts, will be oblig-
ed to exclaim, II know not where"
to find him. Even the most respect
able firms who sell by agents buy
nearly or quite all their stock, hence
can know but little about it. Furth-
err, not only does one run ten chances
of getting worthless varieties to one
that those ordered will be supplied
without redress, but the cost is more
than double the amount the true va
rieties may be obtained for by order
ing them of reputable nurseryman.
For example, we have before us
Lovett's Guide to Fruit Culture, in
which is offered his bouquet Collec-
tion of Beautiful Berries" consist
ing of dozen each Of Hansell and
Cuthbert, Soubegan and Gregg (the
best early and late red and black
raspberries }, Early Harvest and Tay-
'lor 1.-THE best early and late blackber-
aies), Old Don Clad and Parry 1.-THE
two best strawberries and two
plants of the celebrated Fay currant.
These plants, at the rates of the
Guide, amounts to eight dollars and
half, while at the prices charged
by travelling agents would amount to
over twenty dollars, as the expenses
and salaries of thaee glib-tongued
vampires must be paid by those who
purchase of them. But Mr.. Lovett
offers this entire collection, delivered
at any postoffice, for five dollars, or
will ship it by express for four dol
lars and half. This is sufficient to
stock garden with the best fruits.
He also offers to send by mail one
half the number of each variety for
three dollars. Added to this, with
each order he mails a beautiful
chrome in oil colors, worth the price
of the whole collection. In the
Guide everything is fully described
and illustrated, together with all val
liable varieties of fruits, new or old.
1t is handsome volume, richly il
Illustrated and replete with informa-
ton valuable to all interested in
fruit culture. For ten cents it will be
mailed with celored plates, or with
out plates for five cents, which is but
part of the COST A copy of an
abridged edition will be mailed free
to all who apply. Address j. T.
Lovett, Little Silver, New Jersey.

Some people seem anxious to have

of their road to Morgantown.
There is a class of people in every
community who aspire to be prophets
of evil. There is never any appear
ance of an unfortunate thing hap
pening, but they rush to the front to
make believe that it certainly will
happen, hoping to be able to say Il

now trying to make believe that we
are to have no railroad. There is
not the slightest foundation for any
such assertion. We are just as GER
tain Of railroad as of any human
event that remains incomplete. The
work on the road is progressing just
as rapidly as any reasonable person
could expect.

Although mauy Democratic politi-
clans express dissatisfaction with
the appointment of Pearson, it is a
singular fact that no one is prepared
to say who ought to have been APP
pointed in his place. i.
When Mr. Bayard's first diplo-
matte nominations were sent to the
Senate there was something tangible
in the disappointment of thousands
Of Democrats. Nobody pretended
that the names were not those of
honorable men. But the great pop
ular heart asked, "Where is Allen G.
thurman" and felt pang of dis
appointment and vexateon that he
was not found at the head of the
list in place of the heretofore un-
known Mr.. Phelps, of Vermont.
But in Mr.. Pearson's case it is to-
tally different. There is no Demo
cratic Thurman-even on local
scale-whose name the party believes
ought to have taken the place of Mr..
Pearson's. Probably there are many
Democrats who would have been glad
to have received the appointment.
But they were not applicants for it.
Perhaps they did not care to put
their claims against those of Post
master with twenty-five years ex-
perience in the office and the endorse
ment of the whole business communi-
ty as to his perfect capacity and fidel-
ity. The President would only have
been justified in making change
if he had found an application before
him from a Democrat fully equal to
Mr.. Pearson in qualifications and in
tegrity. But no such applicant APP
peared. There was really nothing
else for MI: Cleveland to do but to
appoint MI. PEARSON.
The fact that no Democratic ap-
plication for the Postmastership was
put on file at all is a practical and
complete refutation of the assertion
constantly made by some Republi-
can contemporaries that swarms of
hungry Democrats are DANGEROUSLY
besieging the White House and the
Departments for the spoils. Here
was an office with great salary at
tached and not a single Democrat
cared to apply for it.
1t is possible that the Democracy
may have recognized that Mr.. Pear
sons entirely satisfactory discharge
of his duties, coupled with the earn
est desire for his retention expressed
by the Independent Republicans,
would make his appointment by
President sincerely pledged to re-
form principles graceful and proper
act and so refrained from seeking
the office. If so, the action of the
party was as commendable as the de-
cision of the President was wise, Just
and courageous.-W World.

The gas company were willing to
spend $4,000 to get gas. If they
had got it in inexhaustible quantity
what would they have done with it?
There is no demand for it, and they
have not the nerve to pipe it.
This is shown by the fact that
they got stream of water more
valuable than any flow of gas they
could have, and they haven't the
nerve to pipe that, although every
family in town stands ready and
anxious to take it.

There is great deal of talk about
the high taxes of West Virginia, but
a comparison shows that they are
much less than in other States. The
tax per capita in West Virginia is
1898, in the New England States
the average is $l0.47; in the Middle
States 1858; in the Western States
$6.97, and in the whole United States
the average tax per capita is 1928.
The little Democratic State of Della
ware is the best Off in this respect Of
any in the Union, there being no State
tax at all on real or personal prop
erty. There is no debt, and the in
come from licenses and railroads is
more than sufficient to pay current
expenses.

One of the surest. indications of
the wisdom Of President Cleveland
manifested by the re-appointment
of Postmaster Pearson, of New York,
is the criticism of republican papers
of the Pittsburgh Commercial Ga
zette stripe. Democrats need no bet
ter evidence that the appointment is
good one for the party as well as
for the country.
The editor of the Vest Tsrginia
Democrat, in descanting upon ''The
Duty of journalism" and in it's essay
upon Honest journalism" and in
its judgments of the capacity, char
acter and efficiency of those persons
conducting the newspapers of the
State, reminds us of the rooster that
entered the barn-yard and warned
the horses of the peril of their toes
now that he was there to strut his
little strut.-Free Press.

Artificial Eggs on Dealers.

A number OF dealers in eggs and produce In
Patterson, N. j., were called on recently by a
man representing himself Us Garrett Onder-
donk, of Rockland Co., N. Y. He sold each Of
the dealers a lot OF fresh country eggs Mt a re
maikably low figure. The eggs were delivered
by another man, to whom the dealers refused
payment. Yesterday Onderdonk called for
his money, but was arrested under an act 10
prohibit the sale OF adulterated food. He
pleaded guilty, whereupon lie was fined $50
and costs. This he paid promptly and left
the city without attempting to collect for the
eggs delivered. He admitted TO several dealers
that the eggs were artificial, and were manu-
featured by firm in Newark, whose name he
declined to disclose. The shells were made OF
clear, transparent composition, and the
shape was perfectly modelled. The portion
