The resolution in Congress to pay
the surplus i'll the public debt, has
been made to appear by some Of the
Democratic papers as if the Repub
licans horded up the money and new
er paid anything on the public debt.
An explanation is unnecessary to
those who are acquainted with gov
eminent affairs. Two years ago
the Democrats pledged themselves
to pay out the surplus in the treas
ury, and now after nearly two years
in power a resolution is passed to
that effect, which was voted for by
many Republicans but is not likely
to get any further, for the Presidents
veto awaits it in the end.
Since the conclusion of the wal
the Republican party has paid off
81 200, 100000 Of the public indebt.
edness. 1t was not surprising that,
looking at the record of the Repub
lican party, and looking at the record
of the first sixteen months of the
Democratic Administration, the two
wings of the Democratic party
should flap together and demand
that the President SHALL pay out
some of the surplus on the bonds to
the country. In 1881, with "a sur
plus of S9l0,000,000, a Republican
Secretary of the Treasury had called
in 1921, 900, 000in Government bonds.
In 1882, with surplus of S166,0OO,.
900, Republican Secretary had
called in s173,000,0O0 of bonds. In
1888, with a surplus Of $4,000, 900,
a Republican Secretary had called
in S1S6,OOO,000 of bonds, and in IS
81, S70,000,0O0. The Republican
party has averaged in the last four
years S153,000,000 every sixteen
months, while in the past sixteen
months the Democratic party has
made a record of but S5S,000,0 600
Why did not the Administration OF
Grover Cleveland pay out the bal
ance in the Treasury on the public
| debt

THE term of Mr.. Flick, U. S. Dis
trict Attorney for West Virginia,
expires August 1st OF course, Pres
ident Cleveland will appoint a
Democrat to succeed him. Elk attorn-
ey General Watts, of Charleston,
wants it, and so do Mr.. Dave Leon
ard, chairman of the Democratic
State Committee and Mr.. Wood
Daley, of Keyser, is also candidate.
They are all Camden men, and the
Senator is somewhat troubled over
the contest. It is said that he will
try to have Leonard nominated for
Congress in the Fourth District, for
the double purpose of killing Off
Gibson, who is not warmly for the
Senator; and that, in order to down
Mr.. Wilson in this District, who is

hook and is believed to be ready to
accept an election tothe Senate in Mr..
Camden's place and to provide a
place for faithful Mr.. Daley, Cam
den will try to have Daley nominal.
ed IN this District. Leonard and
Daley, faithful Camden men, thus
rewarded, and Wilson and Gibson
| skilled off," the District Attorney
ship can go peacefully to Mr.. Watts,
who is Senator Kenna's choice; and
of course, Mr.. Camden must consult
and defer to the wishes of his col
league.
This, we believe, is the programme.
Whether it will be carried out re-
mains to be seen. Camden undoubt-
eddy is making the "greatest effort
of his life" in working for re-elec-
ton. A business man of method and
system, Democrats with him are
Camden or anti Camden, if he sus.
poets them of the latter sin, off must
go their heads. The Senator will
tolerate no neutrality those who
don't favor him, will get no favors
from this Democratic administration,
while to his friends the fat of the
offices will be dealt out as far as the
fat will go round. If Mr.. Camden
were Republican, our Democratic
friends would call him :: Boss."-

The shameless and abominable

The shameless and abominable
immortality that often affects the
ruling classes in London has been
repeatedly brought to light in the
divorce courts, but rarely has any
scandal laid bare such loathsome
sinks and cesspools of vice as the
Crawford-Dilke case. Crawford was
member of Parliament-Dilke ii
nobleman that had been Il Cabinet
minister. Captain Foster is an of.
ficer in one of the crack regiments
all moving in the highest social cir
cles. The immortality and unname,
able vices that unite these promi-
nent men as in the coils of II Shiny
serpent, involve the wife of a mem.
Der of Parliament, her mother-a
lady in society-and several other
women, concerning whom the less
said the better. AT the trials the
sister of Mrs. Crawford sat by her,
and they laughed from time to time
with brazen shamelessness that
was shocking. Lady Ashton Dixie
was also there, and to crown all, the
court was crowded with ladies who
gathered to hear the evidence, whose
purport they already knew. They
were "ladies," for the other sort of
women could not have gotten ad,
mission into the courtroom. Take
it for all and all, there could hardly
have been a more Sickening exhi-
bition; and yet it is the talk of Lon.
don in all classes of society, and is
published by the respectable papers.
1t is not generally known to our
readers, but even the cablegrams
sent over to our papers from Lon
don need to be carefully expurgated
before they can be published in de-
cent American journals.

The Terrible Fire That Burned Out
Most of the Town.
EAsTPoRT, Me-, October 15.-The fire
which broke out a 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon ragged furiously for ten hours,
defying all efforts to control or ar
rest it. It started in Capen
< McLean's Sardino Factory
and swept in northerly direction along
the water front and through Water street,
burning ten sardine factories, two hotels,
about 80 dwellings, the custom house and
pOstoifce, and every place Of business
where goods of any description were kept
for sale, except two small grocery
stores. which were out of the path of the
fire. 1t is impossible at this time to make
q detailed report of the losses sustained or
to ascertain the amount of insurance, but
the total loss will probably amount
to at least $4,000 fairly
covered by insurance, except the loss on
the Sardine factories, which could not pro-
cure insurance. The factories gave en-
ployment to at least 1000 per-
sons. Much suffering must ensue
unless immediate aid is rendered. Contri-
buttons can be forwarded to Hon. n. B.
Mutt, collector of customs. Telegraphic
communication was cut off at four p. M,

THE KIND OF A MAN
The Republicans are Running in the Fifth
Senatorial District.

Special telegram 10 the Register.
SPENCER, ROANE Co., W. Va, October
15.-Wm. woodward, the Repub-
publican candidate for State Senator
in this District, is advocated by Republi-
can papers, as a fit and proper candidate
for office. His many virtues and his al
legged fitness and public spirit are extoled,
and no doubt many are found who believe
them. Now l will present Mr.. woodward
to the readers in ROane, Jackson and
Mason Just rs he is, and show him upin
his true light us brilliant (?) statesman:
In reference to his great attain
ments as q statesman: TheSenate Journal
shows that he made A motions, "a of them
were to adjourn and dispense with the
reading of the Journal. That's the sort of
4 statesman he is.
When this extraordinary statesman and
liberal, public spirited specimen of Repub'
licaniSm runs for office he spends money
freely. He will bet q voter from 81 to 80
or SO that he will not vote for him, and
of course sees that the other fellow wins
the money. He is slick, shrewd election
eerer, and is Just about rs consis tent with
his party as he is in his religion. He will
betray every other other candidate ifneceS-
sary, TO secure vote for himself In addi-
ton to the above, woodward, who is
merchant, has great number of poor men
indebted TO him few dollars, ard this fact
will also be used rs lever to gain votes.
William has political ambition if he hasn't
capacity, and his ambition will not be
bounded by church discipline or the rules
and regulations of honorable warfare.
Roane county has plenty of public spir-
tied gentlemen; men who would feel in
honor bound when they subscribe to
public improvement to pay up their sub
scription, but somehow by some process or
sleight of hand manipulation the Republi-
can party of that county long since had a
ring put in its neSe by it's owner, Wood
ward, and dares not resist. The
people-the taxpayers Of all parties do
not propose to be further burdened
with Mr.. Billy woodward or men Of his
stripe. They will send him this time to
the political antipodes, where there Is no
10 per cent interest, and where the cltl-
ZenS never go back on their subscriptions.
Mr.. woodward has long made his brags
that he would get large Democratic vote
in Roane county, but a close search of ten
days has failed to find one who will dis
grace his party by voting for him.
His opponent, Mr.. Eastman, isa gentle
man whom we all know, and | am fully
satisfied that there are not less than $50 good
Republicans in old Roane who will support
him at the next election.
