WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Hon. Joseph
S. Miller, Commissioner Of Internal
Revenue, has made IN elaborate report
to the Secretary OF the Treasury Of the
operations OF that service during the
fiscal year ended June 30, last. The re.
port shows that the total receipts for the
fiscal year we're Sl24, ,S26, ,t75, m increase
OF S4,4Sl,l74 over the receipts for the
previous year, and more than the re-
receipts OF any year since 1883, when the
receipts aggregated Sl44,553,345. The
receipts for the year were also 81, ,326, ,475
more than the estimate. The estimated
receipts for the current fiscal year are
Sl25, 100000, provided no changes are
made IN the existing rates OF taxation.

DEMOCRATIC LEADERS
Got Scoring from a West virginia Demo-
cratic Paper.

Got Scoring from n West Virginla Demo.
cratic Paper.
The following editorial is from the
Charlestown, VIVA, Democrat, OF Novem-
Der 2S:
The virtual defeat Of our party in the
gubernatorial contest is humiliating
enough to every true Democrat, but
when we reflect that it has been brought
about by the gross incompetency and
unprincipled selfshness Of our would-be
leaders, and that the Executive Com
mittee for whose action these leaders are
responsible, is daily plunging us deeper
into the mire OF humiliation by its fool
lish and ill.advised manifestoes, the sit
uation becomes almost unbearable. In
stead OF awaiting the official returns
with dignity and patience, the
chairman rushes into print in a
foreign journal, published in an
other State, to assure the world
that Judge Fleming is elected by "safe
majority! Not content with this inef-
fable piece Of stupidity, in less than
three days thereafter, this same chair
man rushes again into print with new
manifesto in which he virtually admits
that "on the face of The returns" Judge
Flemingis defeated! Not only SO, but
while distinctly intimating that ION the
face OF the returns" Judge Fleming is
defeated, and assuring us that he "cares
not who may have the majority on the
face of the returns" in the very next
br cath he tells us that the decision OF no
tribunal will "prerent Mcpeoplc from IN
augurating their GOrcrnor-cIect!" Are we
livingin Mexico? Are the results OF our
elections to be determined by the peo-
pie, otherwise than through the "suit-
able tribunals" established by the
constitution and laws? In the name OF
the true Democracy of West Virginia, we
do protest against the utteranCes of our
selfimposcd leaders, who assume to
speak for us. They first through their
mouth.piece before the election, assure
the people that our candidate for Cover
nor is no match for GoG, and unable to
meet him in debate; and after the elec'
ton, they come to the front with the
declaration that the people are going to
inaugurate him, although the returns on
their face may indicate his defeat, and
although Suitable tribunal" may pro-
nounce the same verdict!
II the Kenna.Camden combination
can not do better than this, they should
stand aside, and let competent men take
charge OF the interests OF the party.

and all2 1t was on the evening of the
same day that the President Of the
County Court was summoned away,
it being explained that his wife
was i'll, statement about which
some doubt has been expressed at New
Martinsville. In the absence Of its
President the County Court thought it
could not proceed with the count The
proceedings thus interrupted are to go
on to-day unless further interrupted.
From all that has happened tits areason-
able presumption that the Wetzel coun-
ty count will not be finished until every
other county in the State has made its
final return. Then Wetzel will come in,
as the CANDLES hope, to turn the scale.
Unless the programme shall be changed
even Ohio county will have to report be-
fore Wetzel.

dorsed the advice us good.
From the Massachusetts, State Assem-.

favor OF n law requiring that iive-eighths
OF the seamen in the American navy be

committee reported it favorably.
When the convention met after din
ner the Law Committee took the floor
and reported on couple OF propositions,
ut least one OF which is Of considerable
Importance. The first looked to the es.
tablishment OF system OF jury trials is

The other opened up the temperance
question, and long discussion ensued.
A proposition had been handed to the
committee to abolish the section in the
constitution which provides that 10 in.

entertainments OF the Knights OF Labor.
1t was reported with the remark that the
committee deemed it inexpedient.
According to the present constitution,

an amendment wGs presented to give
leave for outsiders to sell liquors at such
but that members OF the
order, as Knights, shall have no such
privilege.
The matter was warmly discussed on
both sides, but an adjournment was
taken before positive action, and it will
be again taken up Monday. tbs still

delegates thinking it needed an explana-
