The solid South.

Columbus (Ga.) Sun.
1t is said the Southern whites
ought to divide on economic ques-
tions. Would to God they would.
But as long as everything they hold
dearis threatened by the ascendency
of party under the leadership of
the Shermans, the Hoars, the Fora
kers and etc., they dare not divide.
Selfpreservation is the first law of
nature, and the Southern whites will
preserve their civilization if in so
doing they are compelled to sur
render some of their views on great
economic questions. What is tho
tariff or the internal revenue, or the
Blair bill, in comparison with the
right of local self-government and
the preservation of our civilization?
If the Republican leaders will in
sist upon making their party sec
tional party they have no right to
expect the support of even those
people in the South who agree with
them on economic questions. But
it seems impossible for Northern
Republican politician to divest him
self of his prejudices against the
South, and as long as that is so the
South will remain solidly Demo-
cratic.

1t seems 10 be fact not generally
known that West Virginia is one of
the few States with NO public debt,
and rate of taxation remarkably
low. The rate of State tax has not
averaged more thar % cents ON the
800 of assessed valuation: whilst
the county authorities by constitn-
tional limitation, cannot make a levy
exceeding 50 cents ON the 800. ex-

ing loyal to the Union. AT the close
of the war she started on an era of
prosperity increasing her popula-
ton about 30 per cent. from 1870 to
1880 and her material wealth in a
like ratio. During the last six
months over six million of dollars
have been organized for the devel-
opmcnt of her resoarccs-suggest-
ing an appreciation of the fact that
West Virginia with her 10000
square miles of coal, immense fields
of iron, vast forests of the finest

which have been developed by the
two lines of railroads that pass
through her borders. affords a field

The InianiIons TRUSTS.

The most serious evil that con-
fronts the American people to-day
is the formation of trusts all over
the country, in every branch of bus
mess and every avenue of trade;
and the most difficult problem our
lawmakers have to solve, is how to
prevent the grievous wrong, and
protect the public from the opera
ton of the iniquitouss system. These
SO called trusts are combinations, or
unholy alliances, entered into by u
few manufacturers and mouopolists
to limit the production of such ar
ticles az 10 preserve inequality
between supply and demand, there
by enhancing the cost far beyond
tho intrinsic value of the article.
To obtain this result becomes nee
essary to suspend operations for
three, four or six months in the
year, in order to prevent the aforc-
said supply from exceeding u fixed
point. Thus their laborers are
thrown out of employment and
obliged to undergo period of en-
forced idleness, during which their
wives and children are. starving or
at least, eking out miserable ex-
istance in squalid want and misery.
This state of affairs is rendered pos
slble by the operation of a high
protective tariff, which shuts out

cormorants, leaving them free in.

and however radical the remedy to
be used, our Legislators will be forced

evil, or the time may come when

Live stock in West virginia

In the Stock Notes of State Ag-
ents the Statiscian of the Agricult-
ural Department gives the follow
ing from the West Virginia report:
Horses have increased in number
and value during the past year, and
have been unusually free from cpl
demic diseases.
Feeding cattle have decreased in
number, owing to the low price of
beef prevailing and railroad dis
elimination. In many cases cows
have taken their place. The en-
forcement of the oleomargarine law,
and the erection of number of
creameries in the State, have made
better markets, and, consequently
given encouragement to the farmer
to pay more attention to the pro-
ducts of the dairy This has result
ted in the erection of num-
Der of silos, which enables
farmers to secure proper feed the
year round, instead of buying ex-
pensive mill feed, oil meal, &c.
There has been decrease in the
number Oi Sneep IN Ine western
portion of the State, while in the
eastern part there has been large
increase. There are more flock
masters now than heretofore, owing
to the increased number of small
fiocks, Extremely large ones being
an exception,) which gives the sheep
better care and attention and in
ePaasaS their vaIua
The total number of sheep in
West Virginia as compared with
that of January, 1887, is so per ct.
The average price paid under one
year old was s1.70, over one year,

sheep on farms is 1898. The av-
erage price is 1926. The total val

BOON ConVenfion.

The Development Convention
held at Wheeling last Wednesday,
was a huge affair. Nothing APP
preaching it was ever held in this
or any other State before. There
were in the neighbOrhood of 1900
delegates present, representing eve
~ county in the State.
One very significant fact was, that
the monied men of the State took a
leading part in the business of the
Convention, which gave its objects
the promise of stability, and guar
antse that the people of the State
were earnest in their desires to in
duce capital and immigrants to
make homes in our State.
The sessions of the convention
were held in the Opera House, and
: it was crowded to its utmost capaci-
ty
The delegates were welcomed to
the city by DR.. Logan, in an elo-
quent address.
Ex-senator Camden was selected
as permanent Chairman of the con-
vention, and a vice-President from
each Senatorial District, was also
chosen. Hon. A. B. Wells, of Roane
county, was made vice President for
this Senatorial District. Hon. B.
l. Butcher, was elected permanent
Secretary.
Speeches were made by Senator
Camden, Senator Davis, Hon. Ste
phen B. EIkins, Gov. Wilson, Hon.
Henry S. Walker, Ex-Governor Pier
point, Hon. W. H. Traverse, Judge
Camden, Senator Kenna, and many
others The speech of Mr.. Elkins
was well prepared written paper,
and should be scattered all over this
country, and throughout Europe, as
it contained statistical information
that if properly circulated cannot
but attract attention to our State.
In to-day's paper we present the
proceedings of the Convention in
full, in supplement form. Read it
that you may know more about
your State.

aft the REGISTER intends to ally
itself with the Republican press in
bringing undue reproach upon the
Democratic County Court of Wayne
County, by lying publications, the
Democracy of this county may at
some time be in a situation to re-
ward its voluntary and gratuitous
kindness"
We make the above extract from
an article in the Wayne Ners, and
being personal to us, we feel that it
needs notice at our hands. In the
first place we will state that Mans
field will wait long time before he
will have a chance to "kick" us, for
we do not expect to be candidate
for any Office that he will be called
upon to support us for, or to @kick"
against. But if we should be, we
don't believe his opposition would
materially affect us with the Dem
ocracy of Wayne county, for they
know that Mansfield has of late
been engaged in assaulting Demo
Gratis throughout the State.
In the second place, we will de-
fend the liberty of the press against
the tyranny and usurpations of the
courts, whether that court is "dem-
ocratic" or republican" We see
a disposition on the part of 'tinfe-
rior" courts to muzzle the press, and
therefore, will resist all such en-
croachments upon the rights of the
press, with whatever power and
ability we have, and don't propose
to be read out of the Democratic
party for doing our duty either, by
a chronic grumbIer and kicker like
Mansfield, of the Wayne Nescs.
But are we not sustained in our
defense of the Ceredo Advance, and
in our comment upon the arraign-
ing of its editor for contempt by
the county court of Wayne county,
Upon an appeal from that "demo-
cratic county court" didn't DEM
Ocratic Judge in a democratic cir
cult court, in the democratic county
of Wayne, dismiss the rule "for
contempt" against the editor of the
Aduanee, and declare that no con-
tempt had been committed?
We don't care to discuss this mat
ter further with man whose "heart
is all liver" and who SO far forgets
the proprieties of a gentleman as to
brand brother editor as liar.

Delegates 10 the National Com
VemfHDn.


AS the time is near at hand for
selecting delegates to represent
West Virginia in the National Dem
ocratic Convention which meets in
June at st. Louis, We suggest that
each Congressional District hold a
convention and appoint three dele
gates, two for the district and one
at large. This viii give twelve
delegates and save tronble and exz
pense of State convention. What
do You say to the plan, brethren of
the Democratic press2- Huntington
Advertiser.
We heartily approve of and con-
cur in the above suggestion, and
suggest that the Convention be call
ed to meet in this city early in
May, to appoint the delegates.
There are several reasons why a
District Convention would be pref
cradle to State Convention to nom
mate delegates to the National
Convention. One is the expense,
and another is, the delegates chosen
by a District Convention are more
likely to be generally acceptable to
the people of the District than if
they were selected by State Con-
vention. For these and other reas-
ons, which might be advanced we
favor the plan named by our Hunt
ington contemporary.

FROM the fnllaueliinta hecoru.
The falling off in the value of
farm property in Illinois since the
war has been estimated at $780,
100000. Coincident with this de-
preston in the great industry of
the State there has been very
marked increase of manufacturing
establishments. The cities and
towns are growing apace. The
farmers, who find themselves get
ting poorer, are beginning to scratch
their heads and to inquire how it is
they are falling behind whilst other
people are getting on so finely
When they shall have quit scratch
ing their heads and shall scratch
the Republican ticket by voting for
members of Congress who will cut
down tariff taxation they will find
a cure for their hurt.
