If Lenten skies alone were dull and gray.
If only hills were bear and meadows cold:
If on the icy shore alone all day
The sObbing waves in plaintive breakers
rolled;
If only wailing March winds moaned and
sighed,
If but the drifting clouds wept bitter
tears,
If but the hills and winds and pillows cried.
And moUned for wasted days of bIighbed
years;
Why, could laugh then, for my heart
would sing
OF summer days gone by, and yet to be;
For Easter lilies would be blossoming
Beneath the sOmbre pail of lent for me.
would not care for dun and weeping
clouds
In the Light heart there shines unfadtng
light;
But when the light itself in sorrow shrouds,
How dark and rayIess is that sorrow's
night
Here is my sorrow-that in reckless ways
crushed the buds last Easter time that
smiled;
And walked, with hayward steps, in tan
gled maze,l
And with my sins the fair new life defIed
So penitent, again my beads tell,
Bring me the old hair shirtI used to wear.
Hand me the sackcloth coat that fts so
Well
And lead me to the dust heap over there.
Here let me sitland sigh the hours away.
Taking weary sinners good old cry;
Heap on the dust; herewith 1 sit all day.
Counting my beads while all the world
goes by.
Here in the dust and penitence of Lent,
- Till alllthose penitential days are gone
And when, Eat last, this mourning life is
spent,
Still in the dust I'lI slumber on and on.

Carrots are considered

Carrots are considered extremity
nutritious, particularly when made into
a soup. The proper way to make it is
TO remove the fat from a piece Of fresh
beef, seasoned with a very little salt
and pepper, allowing a quart OF water
to each pound. Crate half a dozen or
more large carrots on coarse crater.
and put them to boil In the soup with
other carrots; three viii be sufficient.
cut into two inch long pieces. When
the beef Is boiled to rags and has left
the bone, pour off the soup from the
sediment, transferring it to a tureen
and sending 1t to table with bread cut
into it. Remember that carrots need
more boiling than any other vegetable.
Small young carrots need half an hour.
larger ones from one to two hours
These are also considered a pleasant
addition, made into a sauce maeedoine
mixed with string beans on Brussels
sprouts. Cut the carrots into rods.

ernor Wilson wlthholds the certificate
from Smith, he may as well have with
held it from W. L. Wilson, Democrat, Of
the Second District, who was elected on
the face Of the returns and whose seat
is not in question.
1t is clear that Governor Wilson is in
doubt as to the right course in the Third
and Fourth Districts, or in each District
he would have issued u certificate to
somebody. This is the most charitable
view that can be taken OF his conduct.
But the Governor has no right to be in
doubt. McGinnfs and Smith were elect
en- on the face Of the returns and this is
all tho Governor has to do with it. II
the people in his Judgement have made
q mistake it is not his province to cor.
rect it. II he thinks that McGinnis and
Smith were not elected it is not his priv
lege to go behind the returns. Another
view, less charitable, issuggested by men
of the Governors own party, who say
that the Withholding Of the certiticatesir
the Third and Fourth Districts is par
of the Governors campaign for the
United States Senate, his intention being
to hold club over Anderson and Jackson
SO as either to beat them into hissuppor
or make them and their friendsafraid t.
to oppose him.
The IxTELLIGENcRR does not entertair
so mean a suspicion OF Governor VIII
son ; and yet what explanation can b.
made that would be favorable to thu
Governor in face OF the record he hit
made against himself. In agovernmen
based upon the rule of the majority a
the fundamental idea, the majority rules
its will is respected by the humbles
citizen and by the highest officer, other
wise there is no government, and an
archy takes its place. Is Governor vii
son for anarchy?

DECLARED ILLEGAL.
Judge Jacob Grants the Injunction on Re.
hppOrtlonmcnt.

upPuEhAuuWuhts
Judge Jacob on Saturday granted the
injunction asked for by Democratic pol
iticians. against the enforcement OF the
ordinance reapportioning to the differ
ent wards the members of the Second
branch of Council. He assigned for
this action the following reasons:
First-That the City Council, whilst
il has power to change ward lines and to
make the appointments OF represeta-
tions in the Council, based upon the
population in such wards after the
change OF the lines was made, yet it had
no power to have enumeratiOns made OF
the population within the lines OF the
proposed new wards, as was done in this
case, and after such enumeration, to con-
stitute new wards and apportion repre-.
sentatives based on such enumeration
and therefore the ordinance was void
for this reason.
Second-That the ordinance is void
for the following reason: That the stat
ute passed by the Legislature of 1882
directs the City Council TO make emu
meration "before the first day OF jan
uary, 1888, and once at least in every
tenth year thereafter" does not confer
authority upon the Council to make
enumerations except in every tenth
year; that the construction of the Ian
guage given may be doubtful, bnt under
the law. the benefit OF that doubt mus
be given against the power Of the Coun
Gil to pass the ordinance and in favor o
the people; and the ordinance is there
fore void for that reason.
ThEd-That the meeting Of the FRS
Branch OF the City Council held on thu
night OF the 18th day OF December, with
out meeting being called or held of tn,
Second Branch, was unlawful, anC
therefore the ordinance had never beer
passed by the Council at al, and there
fore it is necessarily void.
Other points OF illegality were RAISED
in the bill, but the Court having decided
the ordinance void for the reasons abov
given, held it was not necessary to pas
upon any OF these other points.

The Governor and the Congressman.
The INTELLiGENcEE las given Gov
ernor Wilson credit for being IN honest
man who would do justice in the matter
Of the congressman. elected, without re-
gard to partisan consideration. 1t is
still hoped that Governor Wilson may
Justify this estimate OF his character.
In the meantime the people OF West
Virginia are confronted with the amazing
spectacle of two certificates issued to
Democrats who are elected on the face
of the returns and two certificates with
held from two Republicans, also elected
on the face OF the returns.
Governor Wilson may think that Nc.
Ginnis, Republican, in the Third Dis
trict, was not fairly elected. Republic
cans know that Pendleton, Democrat,
in the First District, gets his majority
on the face Of the returns by fraud the
most fragrant, for which certain Demo-
Gratis are now standing in the shadow OF
the Pcnitentiary. Governor Wilson
doubtless has reason TO believe that il
McGinnis were to receive the certificate,
Anderson, his Democratic opponent
would contest the seat. He knows
that, Atkinson, Republican, will
contest the seat given to Pendleton,
if indeed the rankness OF the
frauds in Pendleton's interest do not
give the seat to Atkinson without
contest. These two cases so far as
Governor can look upon them officially
are precisely alike. The same rule
which gives the seat to Pendleton on
the face of the returns should give the
seat TO McGinnis. What is sauce for the
Democratic goose should be sauce
for the Republican gander. There
is absolutely no room for discrim-
nation. The Governor was right
to give the certificate to Pendleton,
wrong not to give it to McGinnis. He
could not give the one and withhold the
other without forcing the people of the
State to regard him as the merest buck
ster, degrading his high office for the
benefit Of his fellow political partisans,
andin view Of his ambition to be a United
States Senator, perhaps as the result of a
disgraceiul deal.
The Fourth District case stands in the
same light so far as the Governor can
view it officially. Here Smith, Republic.
can, has majority on the face Of the
returns, Just as Pondleton, Democrat,
has in the First District. There is, how
ever, a difference between them in favor
Of Smith over both Pendleton and Nc
Ginnis, the Democrats having failed
in their effort to lay the lines
for a contest for Smiths seat. Even
the Democrats of the Fourth District
gave up Jackson's case long ago, recog-
nized Smiths undoubted right to the
seat, and settled down in the conviction
that he would serve his whole term from
the beginning to the end. Though Gov

The session of the Legislature which
convenes next week promises to be one
of the most interesting and important in
the history of the State. There will be
an exciting contest for United States
Senator, and the political margin will be
very narrow. Unless the Democrats
abandon their revolutionary effort TO
cheat the people out OF their lawfully
elected Governor, there will be heated
contest over that officer.
The Republicans have the Senate,
whose presiding officer will be more
than ordinarily important person
nee. The man who fills that place should
have intelligence, firm grip, expert
encc, and, by no means least, more than
average courage. He should be quick to
see and to decide, and having decided
heshould hold his ground.
There will be many good men on the
Republican side, but the drift is strongly
towards Senator n. d. Scott, of Ohio
county, who is not only popular with his
party friends but comes up TO all the re-
ouirements us though he had been made
for the place.
In addition to putting the right man
in the right place, tho election of sena-
tor Scott would be u fitting recognition OF
his industry and efficiency in the recent
campaign. He has done more hard work
and produced more results than any
other National Committeeman the Re-
publicans of West Virginia ever had.
Senator SCOTS election to the Presi-
dency Of the State Senate would be an
additional guarantee to the National Re-
publican party that no point on the
Republican side is to be leftunprotected.

The Political situation in West Virginia.
Tho visit OF four West Virginia Repub-
licans 10 the President-elect was so void
of news for the hungry correspondents
in indianapolis that one Of them, a
Wheeling product, concocted and fur
nished to the rest OF them startling
story Of an alleged deal between the
Democratic and Republican leaders OF
West Virginia. According to this weak
Invention the Republicans are to give up
the Governorship, which they have fairly
won after hard fight, and the Demo-
Gratis are to let the Republicans have the
United States Senator. The Republicans
are supposed to be glad to fall in with
this scheme because since the National
victory they will have patronage enough
without the little that belongs to the
Governor. Democrats are supposed to
Jump ut the suggestion because the little
the Governor will have to give will be
all they can hope to get.
The INrELLIGENCER does not OF course
know everything that is in the minds OF
the Democratic managers, but Goesknow
that no such proposition has ever been
submitted to the Republicans and does
not believe the Democratic managers
idiotic enough either to hatch or to enter
tain such IN idea. The wholestory was
concocted as political sensation for o
ready market.
The Republicans of West Virginia,
aided by Democrats who desired a change
Of State administration, have fairly
elected the next Governor OF this State.
The men who elected General Golf will
stand by him and General Golf will
stand by them to the last extremity
No proposition could for moment be
entertained looking to anything else
than the complete possession OF that for
which General Golf made the gallant
fight which has SO greatly added to his
fame as a Republican leader. The peo-
pie OF West Virginia may be assured
that no ambition of General COTS, and
none that his party may entertain for
him, will lead to the abandonment OF
any point in the Republican position.
Every inch OF the ground will be con-
tested as holly and as pertnaciousiy as
every inch OF the ground was contested
up to the closing of the polls on cleo
ton day.
General Colts majority for Governor
is small, but it is as good as though it
were ten times as great. 1t is the ex'
preston Of the will OF the people, and
the Republicans of West Virginia can
have no other policy or intention than
to take possession OF that office il there
be law and justice in the State to give it
to them. This assurance is not neces-
sary for the people OF West Virginia, but
it can do no harm to let the people oil
other States understand that the
stories they are reading about the Dem
ocratic -Republican deal in West Virginia
are purely inventions, put out for the
purpose Of making few dollars.
