While Englishmen are claiming
that free trade is making them
homeless and hungry, Mr.. Morrison
introduces in the American House
of Representatives measure to
whack the tariff right and left
Coal, lumber, iron ore and salt on
the free list,-wool, pig iron, bar
iron, glass and pottery slashed in
the free trade direction. If this is
a Democratic measure, how long
can such State as West Virginia
be expected to pull in Democratic
traces? Not a West Virginia in
dustry escapes-unless it be "sang y
digging, and that may be hid
somewhere in the belly of the bill.
Mr.. Morrison is not consistent. IF
coal goes on the free list, why not
wool? If lumber, why not pig iron 2
Ii iron ore, why not pottery? If we
are to have "raw materials on the
free list shall we not put all raw
materials there Salt is raw ma
terial to the pork packer, and so is
pork to the mau who eats its. Coal
and ore are raw material to the fur
naceman, and his pig iron is raw
material in the foundry and the mill.
When we come to discuss raw
material we easily find a starting
point, but like the Scotch preacher
it is /" hard to ken the stopping
place. p Intelli0eneer

easy. Their true political character
comes to the surface in their admis-
sion that all the Democracy was
fighting for was the offices. 1t shows
their deep deception during the
election when their fayorite cry was
F" Reform" good times, plenty of
work and good wages. Now the
country can take care of itself, while
these men are looking out for them
selves. Far from this was the in
tention Of the masses of the people
who voted for " a change and their
expression will be found so in 1888.
These office-seekers' appeal to man.
llness and their odious comparisons
about accepting the verdict are
equally full of duplicity, for some OF
them have openly said that had
they to go over their past actions
again they would do as they did be-
fore. Time and experience will set
all things right, and give credit to
whom credit is due. But the dead
who are gone and the thousands
who are suffering injustice and want
to day. will hardly rise up and bless
these latter day benefactors. All
comes from the decisions of self.
seeking politicians of one party or
both. The people can take their
choice and abide the consequences
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1886-02-20

Two wrongs never make one right.
However toul the offence of the
colored man Burns, there can be no
rational defence for the conduct of
the mob of Thursday night, which
through the morbid appetite for
blood ignored the only protection
thrown about society, and disregard
ed the majesty of the law and the
activity of the officers in bringing
the criminal to "a speedy answer for
his crime, and paying the penalty,
in Il few weekc at most. We have
no. hesitation in saying that every
effort should be made to bring the
parties to justice. But whether the
Court will be able to do this or not :
"Murder may pass unpublished for
a time,
But tardy justice will overtake the
crime.n
When reason assumes her sway.
and these men have fully appreciat-
ed the gravity of their offence, they
will feel with Hamlet: "Murder most
foul, as in the best it Isl" but this
murder, most strange and unnatur.
al, ought to have been left in the
hands of the law, that the execu-
TONER might have the warrant of
law for taking "A life, forfeited even
by its own crime; and that private
citizens by an irrational act might
not publish to the world that the
mother of States sanctioned a pro-
ceeling which may take the life of
the innocent man as well as the
guilty, without semblance of trial.
It is time enough for lynch law To-
AXE the reins when Justice fails.

The U. S. Senate has in caucus
determined to confirm no nomina.
tions of appointments to fill vacan-
cies caused by removal of persons,
when upon application for informa-
ton touching the cause of removal
by the President, the information
was not given. The President
through his cabinet so far has declin-
ed to give any information called
for, and hence the Senate will refuse
to confirm his appointments i'll such
cases. This involves the case of
John Il. McGraw, collector de factO
of West Va. How any right think
ing man could object to this position
of the Senate is mysterious to us.
All appointments made by the Pres
dent must be "by and with the
advice and consent" of the Senate,
indicating at once that the Senate
is to be held as strictly accountable
for the conduct of officers appointed
by and with its consent, as the Pres
ident. Now if this is true, by what
parody of reasoning can the Presi-
dent remove an officer so appointed
and thus wholly thwart the wishes
and action of the highest branch of
tue legislative body in the country.
This body is supposed to know more
about the will of the people from its
very construction than any eXccu,
tive officer can know and in the
nature Of the process by which these
appointments are made, the Presi.
dent is the nominating power and
the Senate gives vitality to bis act.
Whose creations then are these
appointees; and has not the power
which gives vitality to the office a
right 60 know for what cause it's
former action in confirming nomi-
nation of the President-an and thus
filling an office which belongs to the
people,-has been questioned, set
aside and annulled. Unquestionably
under any other view Of the case
than a political one, the whole PEG
pie would say, yes; and if any but
political causes existed, the informa-
ton would have been forthcoming
when called for; but to give the in,
formation would have shown to the
world that President Cleveland had
wholly disregarded his pledge to the
people of the country to carry out
the spirit of the civil service reform /;
and further that like the West Va.
case of McGraw and Mccormick, he
removed one politician to put in
another. We therefore believe the
Senate is right.
