90 frequent, but some other cities do not
fall far behind. With the present tendency
continued, people who expsct to at
tend to their business and make g
living will have to keep aloof from the

to be certain periods, such as Lent, set
apart for rest from social duties. Peo-

A SOCIAL HOLIDAY.

Among all classes in which Lent is OBJ
served there is now a period of rest from
the exsctious Of society. This is no doubt
greeted with pleasure by the many who
during the past few months, have been so
bnsily occupied with dlscharging the duties
exacted from them. II will come as q res:
badly needed.
It's feature Of our progressing civil
zstion to increase the demands made upon
those who walk in the circles Of fsshions-
bic socity. 1t is the ambition of nearly
ell men and women to surround themselves
with the comforts and eonvenienees Of the
time and gain scqusintauces and friends
about them. But the greater the wealth
of q community and the larger the circle
of sesuaintsnces persons possess, the more
uerplexing and exscting sre their relations
with those about them: In some places
the disehsrgiDg Of these demands endanger
health and life. In Washington society,
for example, it is said that the continuous
observance from year to year of sOcietJ's
behests is enough to undermine the best
physical health. In the past winter we
have seen one Of the brightest lights of
Washington society, Miss KATE BATARD,
fall at her post victim. Il is said that

THE COMING CAMPAIGN.

ty writes the REGIsTER concerning the next
Congressman from this district, and says
that "Wetzel he's always had her wheels
locked solid for the nominees and she never
wayers her vote and asks tha: the Demo

ing that her good Representatives. that
vii, look after the interests OF our State
affairs" is recognized.
The REGISTER recognizes that there is
no discount upon the fsithfulness and STAN
ina of the Democracy of.Wetzel, and also,
that abe has men who could ell the Office
of Congressman and Ell it well. Bat at
least three things must be kept in view in
bringing out our candidates for political
holors.
First, there are eleven counties in the
First Congressional District, each having
staunch Democrats and good CoDgression-
al timber.
Second, West Virginia is q young State,
and taking the counties BY their population
some OF them have not yet had the honor
of sending Representative to our Ma
tional Legislature, but expect that honor
By and By, if they only be patient.
Third, the mos. available man must be
considered. Each of the counties of the dis
trict may have several Congressional csndi;
dates VINO would do honor to themselves and
their district, but it cannot be denied that
some are more influential than others and
stand a much better chance of election.
At this time, when the battle with the en-
envy is going to be such close and spirit
ed one, little attention should be paid to
county lines. IL should be the aim of ev,
cry Democrat of the district to work for
the nomination of that capable and honest
Democrat most available, no matter in what
section he lives. Our triumph or defeat
next tall may hinge upon how well the party
acts upon this principle.

A BAD PRECEDENT.
The Vote on the Blair Bill Bad Begin
ming.

v T. san.
Only six Democratic votes were record
ed against the passage by the Senate OF
Blair's Brobdingnsgisu Education bill. 1t
ia not pleasant to see Democratic Senators
swallowing their principles in the hope of
getting federal alms tor education in the
States they represent. If the traditional
Democratic dogmas Of constitutional inter
probation are 10 be made flexible and
accommodated to tbs Republican standard
| from time to time, the Democratic party
will be in fair way TO lose one OF Its
chief claims upon the respect of sober
minded men. The Mugwump sneer that
there is no essential difference between the
Democrats and the Republicans has some
apparent justification when Democrats are
found voting with Republicans for propo-
si.ion to sap the selt-relisnee of the several
States and stretch the powers ofthe general
Government.
There is common sense enough in the
House, probably, to squelch Blairs bill, but
the record OF the Democratic votes in its
favor in the Senate will remain. The effect
Of the opposition, if any is shown, oil the
Democratic Senators who voted for that bill
to tie new schemes Of Capitalization which
are coming up in greater frequency every
yesr will be lessened by that record. If
those schemes are arttully enough con-
trived to have an appearance of giving
eesch State some temporary equivalent for
its surrender of its new power 10 the fed
eral government, is it even sure that DEM
ocratic Senators who have made the first
stages on the road to Capitalization and
federal monopoly viii draw back2
This is one danger which the foolish
blair bill brings with it. 1t commits the
Democrats who approved it to bad prece-
dent They may not follow it, but the
growing csrelessness of many Democrats
in regard to one of the cardinal principles
of their party ia discouraging sigr.
