A Tangled Lie.


The actions Of Miss Florence Lit

OF Blacks 5. G, furnishes a thread
OF mysterious motives for the nov
elists, and at the same time a lesson
to parents. She possessed the fatal
gift of beauty, a comedy figure, and
ahghtness of heart, which, under
proper training and direction, might
have made her the Joy of a happy
husband instead of a bigamist. 1t
is evident she looked upon pleasure
as the one bright star in her exis.
tence, and Irritation was the highest
idea of human duty. She had the
making in her of a beautiful and
loveak.e woman, butshe was frivolus,
vain and fond Of admiration and she
is now the wife of two husbands.
Tn the Both of January she married
Augustus Nintz, chandestinely, and

young girls are not allowed to 90

COAL TO BE HELD UP.
Reading Controls the Situation and Fixes
Prices

PHILADELPHIA, April "a prom
inent official of the Reading Railroad
Company said to-day that no lower
prices for coal will be made this
year, although, taking the tolls into
consideration, they are about thirty
cents higher than the Spring prices
of 1887. Reading is the backbone
of the coal-producing companies,
and it is in a position to maintain
prices the market will be sustained.
The Lackawanna, Delaware and
Hudson, Jersey Central, Lehigh Val
ley, and Lehigh Coal and Navigation
Companies clustered about Reading,
control fully 80 per cent. of the total
output of anthracite, and, with the
Pennsylvania, 50 per cent. The
Pennsylvania has expressed its viii
lingness to abide by the agreement
of the other companies, and even if
there should be some cutting among
the per cent. of outsiders it will
not affect the great coal markets,
because they are not directly reached
by the small producers. 1t follows,
then, that if Reading is strong
enough to adhere to the present
schedule prices will be maintained.
N. Y. Times.
The railroad companies own the
coal lands and have combined to
advance prices. Ifthe people would
vote intelligently,the law would pre-
vent railroads from mining. A rail
road should be confined TO the bust
ness of transportation.

point the very person who, in his
judgement, could and would render
the most efficient service to the gen.
eral public.
Let it be remembered that those
who profit by concealment of the
facts always desire the appointment
of an officer who is either incompe-
tent, unaggressive or of easy virtue,
because in either event he will gloss
over or else suppress the very infor-
nation which it is most important to
make public.
Among the various safeguards pro
posed, it has been suggested that to
require applicants to publish essays
discussing some of the subjects to be
dealt with, would give to the Cover
nor an opportunity to discover which
applicant exhibited the greatest APP
titudc for work of this character. 1t
has been further suggested that af-
ter such essays were published the
general public would be surprised
and disappointed should the Execu
tive appoint person who had not,
when the opportunity was presented,
manifested some capacity for the en-
ployment be solicited.
1t has also been proposed that in
stead of specific salary, the officer
shall be paid for each report accor-
ding to the number of hours he may
be employed in preparing it, and
that a copy of his account against
the State be published at the end of
such report, so that the general pub
lie may be able to contrast its cost
with its merits and practical vaiue.
This suggestion ensures exposure
should the official obtain from the
Treasury money which he has not
fairly earned.
We have been thus persistent to
present these views, because our ex-
animation, requires, consultation
and reflection has satisfied us:
(1.) That the situation of West
Virginia is such that proper legisla-
ton will soon make her wonderful
ly prosperous, whereas, without such
legislation, her future is not promis-
ing.
o. That proper legislation can
not be obtained unless and until the
facts and information which warrant
such Legislation have been spread
before the people in advantage of
a Legislature.
(3.) That q law be drafted which
will ensure the appointment of a com
petent and faithful officer and at the
same time be a guarantee that such
officer will not receive pay for work
which has not been performed.

Jacob Sharp died April 9th at his
residence in New York. lie bribed
the Aldermen of that city to give
him the franchise of street railroad
on Broadway. The road was built
and an cutlery was raised about the
bribery. Sharp fell a victim to
popular indignation. He was in
dicted, tried and convicted. His law
yers obtained a new trial, and death
saved him from the penitentiary. 1t
is fashionable to hold Sharp before
the public gaze as spectacle to be
letested, and New York is under the
delusion that his conviction purged
the city of disgrace. But it seems
to us that he was less to blame than
the men responsible for The election
of venal Aldermen. Instead of in
dieting Sharp, it would have been
better to indict the voters who elect
ed corrupt officials. Instead of heap
ing infamy on the memory ola bride
giver, it would do more good to ex-
cite horror at state of society
which tolerates the election of bride
takers.
Here in West Virginia we send to
nominating conventions, and we
have on the committees of our politi-
cal parties men who ought to be in
Jail. There are those of us trying
to establish clean methods and hon
est practices, but the body of the
people are apathetic and unrespon-
sive. 1t remains to be seen whether
the rank and file prefer to have pub
lie affairs administered by knaves.

tbs natural that men of large

worded as to make tax lodging easy.
In West Virginia a man worth 5000
pays taxes on about SITS, while one
worth $50,000-ifin notes and bonds
pays on only about $4,000. 1t is
surprising that some man of brains
and ambition does not come to the
front on this subject.

SALARIES.

The fact that Chief Justice Waite,
who never lived extravagantly, died
after IA years service without leav-
ing ample provision for his family,
is a cogent argument for increasing
the salary of that office In dignity
it is next to that of President. The
Chief Justice Of England gets $40,-
900 a year. Ten thousand a year
is inadequate to the requirements of
the position. Our Chief Justice
must live in a style befittiug his
high office. The salary should be at
least $25.00O.-N. Y. Herald.
We are fast building up an arts
tocrscy of money in this country.
The remedy is not to tax the masses
to pay large salaries, but to teach
the public that social position can
not be purchased by lavish display
of wealth. The circumstance that a
man has servants in livery should
be conclusive of his unfitness for
office. The trappings of royalty are
out Of place,-or rather should be,
in republic.
