be voters who will be disaffectcd by
this change in the policy of the adj
ministration. The Republicans can
not make much out of it, MS they
generally made opposition to Jack
sons order when it was issued, and
consistency will compel them to, at
least, keep quiet.
The most damage we conceive
will be to the general financial ma
chinery of the State. Beside depict
ing the revenues and rendering it
necessary for the next Legislature to
increase the tax levy, the order
comes, like Jackson's, at a time
when the assessments have been
partly made and will require either
reassessment, or some counties
and some persons will be paying an
unequal proportion of the tax.
Moreover, it is not unlikely that
some large taxpayers will be asking
to have their taxes repaid so far as
they were increased by the supple
mental assessment" But law is
law, and as such should be enforced,
all Governors and ex -Governors ''to
the contrary in anywise notwith
standing as aforesaid. IL Jackson's
order was lawful it ought to have
stood, though everything else tum
bled down on account of it, If it
was unlawful, then Gov. Wilson
should interdict it though it bank
rupt the treasury.
But ex-Gov. Jackson is lawyer
and Gov. Wilson is n lawyer. When
doctors differ who shall decide?
While they dispute the patient usu-
allv dies.

Register.
CHARLESTON, w. VA, April 22-
While the Board of Public Works
was in session yesterday, the Audi
tor mentioned that he had received
letters of inquiry from various as
SCISSORS asking whether the exemp-
ton clauses contained in section 43
of chapter 30 of the code, should be
respected in the assessment of per-
sonal property. 1t was declared to
be the judgment of the members of
Board then present as executive of
ficers. of the State; that section 43 of
chapter 80 of the Code is the law of
the State; that this judgment is con
firmed by the record of the action of
the Senate of West Virginia in de-
feating by vote of eighteen to six a
proposition to repeal said section,
see Senate journal 1885, page 345
and that until the section in ques-
ton shall be repealed or amended by
the Legislature or declared unconsti-
tutional by the Courts it should be
respected and enforced.
A NOTE FROM THE GOVERNOR.
To-day the Governor addressed
the Auditor the following note ON
subject:

The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1886-05-01

Governor Wilson has interposcd
the Executive request" against the
continuance of Governor Jackson's
supplemental tax schedule which
we presume the Auditor will accept
as in the nature of an Executive or
der, rather than request, and the
much belabored schedule will be
bounced.
No doubt the whole State, and
the Democratic party especially,
will feel like taking up the exclama-
ton contained in the famous couplet.
If SO soon it were done for,
What the devil was it begun for?"
We have but just escaped from
the bedlam which that famous order
of GOV. Jackson's aroused in the
State. The Legislature has since
met, and while failing either to en-
dorse or reject Gov. Jackson's posi-
tion by repeating or reinforcing the
statute. a modification of the assess
ment law was made. making the
year to begin with the first of April
instead of first of January, thus re-
lieying the farmers from many of the
oppressive features of the personal
tax. The Democratic Convention
had successfully cvaded the bug
gaboo; the campaign was safely
passed, and we had all just quit
shaking hands over the situation,
when 10, this same old spectre rises
up in all its hideous proportions.
Politically speaking, we don't
know that il will make much differ
ence. That is 10 say, it will not
materially change the numerical
strength Of the two parties. There
will be more voters, doubtless, who
will be pleased to be relieved Of the
tax, right or wrong, than there will

WAsfIsGToN, April 23.-The River
and Harbor bill has been under
discussion in the House. The i'm
portant feature developed was the
proposed purchase of the works of
the Mohonghahela Navigation Com
pany rs recommended by the Com
mittee
BY one of those curious accidents
of legislation. the Pennsylvania
members who were pushing this
measure, lost the advantages they
desired to secure, but were Indirectly
the cause of giving their competitors
in the coal trade in West Virginia a
very decided and substantial conces-
sion. The Monongahela Slack
Water Navigation Co, is organized
under the laws of Pennsylvania and
they have erected seven dams in the
Monongahela river, giving slack
water up the West Virgitia line.
Within the State of West Virginia
the Federal Government has con
tinued the improvements by erection
of two dams, the lockage through
which cost the shipper nothing.
This has been Of no practical conse-
quenee, however, as the West Vir-
ginia shipper had to pay for the
lockage through the Monongahela
Company's dams in order to get to
market When the bill was up
yesterday the proposition was made
to purchase the private corporations
Improvement and thus make naviga-
ton free throughout the entire length
of the river.
FREE TO WEST yIRGINIANs.
This was not agreed to, but an
amendment submitted by Mr.. Will
son, of West Virginia, was agreed to,
providing that all traffic originating
in part of the river improved by the
government in West Virginia shall
pass through the private locks free
to the Ohio river. This makes the
entire river free to West Virginia
operators but the Pennsylvania coal
shippers will have to pay lockage as
heretofore. In other words, the
West Virginia operators, though
fifty six miles further up stream, can
put their product into the lower
market cheaper than that mined in
the seven lower pools. The Pitts
burg coal operators are very much
chagrined that, after spending
months of time and barrels of money
to get free navigation for themselves,
they have only succeeded in giving
their competitors decisive advant-
age not previously enjoyed.

The sting was taken out of the
Supplemental assessment" before
Gov. Wilson tackled it. The Legis-
lature did that by changing the date
of assessment; but the Governors
order is regarded as kind of boom
erang, nevertheless.

Exit Birkett

Gratton's ex-candidate for Mayor,
rink manager and fire extinguisher
has gone; left Grafton on Monday
morning last for Wheeling on train
No. 3, taking first class passage on
the platform between the baggage
and express car. Conductor Stotts-
bury soon after leaving Grafton
found the prominent citizen out in
the cold and alone and invited him
inside as it was contrary to the
rules of the company to ride on the
platform. This Birkett admitted,
but he was perfectly willing to stand
the cold and the inconvenience of the
outside berth as he did not have a
through ticket for an inside ride;
the Captain, however, insisted and
escorted him back to the smoker"
1t is thought that he will arrive in
Wheeling in time to publish a card
in the Wheeling papers explaining
the manner of his departure, and de-
nouncing this notice. Eagle.

The mmencement' season.
The time is rapidly approaching
when the voice of the ''sweet girl
graduate will be heard on the stage,
and the Young mans thoughts, freed
from the exhaustive demands of the
college curriculum, will "turn lightly
to love" or some equally pleasurable
occupation.
Our local institutions already
show signs of preparation for these
commencement occasions, and the
pensive countenance of the student
is suggestive of that home dreaming
mood which is commonly called
hOme-sickness.
The summer vacation, which is SO
grateful and SO necessary to the
young, is coming to be looked upon
also as legitimate and necessary
portion to all classes of society in
Whatever occupations they may be
engaged. The hot summer months
incline one to ease and rest, if not to
the recreations of the seaside and
summer resort. So with the coming
Of the commencement season we are
all inclined to look forward to per-
iod Of dullness in business, il to not
actual rest therefrom.
We have no doubt that the COM
ing commencement season will be
quite as brilliant, if not more bril-
liant, than any of the preceding. We
will surely expect an increase in the
number Of visitors since our railroad
is finished, and We hope the occasion
will be even more interesting and
enjoyable

low free. The vote on the question
of making the river free was over
whelmingly defeated, but by this
stroke Mr.. Wilson has provided for

blasting purposes on the rock work
along the o. r. R. extension and was

fiat and unloaded it from the cars
into the boat and floatcd it down to

er, he had visited the Island and
picked out convenient place for
landing free from the danger Of any
accident. He got his boat down there
safely and made it fast, when hap
pening to look up into the overhang

his cargo an immense tree, which had
lodged there during the big food 1t

wards, and if it fell, there wouldn't
be enough of either Heidenright or
the cargo to make a load for flea.

Good fortune attended him however.
