An interesting feature of the APP
preaching campaign of this State
will be the contests over the Circuit
Judgeships in the several Judicial
districts. Many people think the
election of a Judge of the Circuit
Court is not properly party
matter, and are therefore inclined
to, vote independently with regard
to this pasitlon, looking solely to
the fitness and qualifications of can
didates for the bench. Nevertheless.
there will doubtless be party nomi-
nations made in most if not all the
districts, and in some cases the fight
will not only be bitterly partisan
but violently personal.-PdnhdnciLe

Hon. 4. q. Eastman.
Whee,ing Register.
PorNT PIEAsANT, W va, Feb: Is.
1fr. Jas. B. Tdney.
MY DEAR Sra: II am in receipt of
your favor of a recent date calling
my attention to the action of your
aChamBcr of Commerce, and i'm
wiling correspondence with refer
ence to the special advantages en-
joyed by tue different sections of
this State.
The subject of the proposed meet
ing has been a good deal discussed
by our people, particularly insbusi-
ness circles, and meets with hearty
approval. That Wheeling should
have taken the initiative in this
movement was altogether appropri-
ate, as her vast manufacturing in
forests and general prosperity afford
a good illustration of what a people
may accomplish by judicious invest
ment and energetic effort.
In proportion as our natural re-
sources arc developed we may ex-
pect a corresponding increase In our
ability to pay taxes, therefore, those
upon whom the burden of taxation
falls should be first to aid in an en-
terprise of this kind. Your Cham
Der of Commerce sought to give
prominence to this idea by desiring
specially the attendance of land
owners and business men.
West Virginia is stir but sparsely
settled and, until within theIast few
years, large 20 tipn of the State
has had but few improvements and
no commercial e. mmunication with
the outside world, save such as was
afforded by our navigable streams.
In this progressive age the naviga-
ton of those rivers has been i'm
proved, railroads have been built,
while other lines have been pro-
jected, causing us to feel that before
long we shall be able to throw off
that embargo with which nature
has encompassed and imprisoned
our wealth"
The diversified interests of the
State make her that much more
attractive to persons seeking homes,
whether as farmers, manufacturers,
miners, lumbermen, or business men
of any other calling. Considering
the fertility of her soil, which grows
well all the grains, grapes and veg
etablcs, besides Its splendid adapta-
bility to stock raising of every
description, the magnitude of her.
coal fields, embracing an area of
10000 square niles her salt and
iron, the quality and variety of her
timber, surely there could be no
more inviting field for industril en-
terprises of every kind.
The employment of capital in
this immediate vicinity in the con
struction ofrailroads and magnificent
bridges over the Ohio and Kanaw-
ha rivers has had the effect of slim
ulating the citizens of Point Pleas
ant to increased efforts in behalf of
their town. More buildings have
been constructed within the past
year than in any previous year of
it's existence. The citizens have or
gained Board of Trade and a build
ing as ISOLATION, and if such instru-
mentalities can contribute SO much
to tiie growth of town, certainly
a convention of citizens from every
portion of the State ought to be
able to devise ways and means of
attracting the attention of capitalists
TO the special advantages of West
Virginia.
Hoping that your meeting may
be productive of good results, and
that may be able to be with you
on that occasion, am
Very truly yours,
p. G. EASTMAN.

The idea that the war tariff is to
be left at high-water mark forever
because any reduction will be an
approach to free trade, is too silly
for the wear and tear of a ten
months campaign.

Organization is the proper thing

Christmas will be celebrated to day in
a manner that will give the young folks
something to. talk about for some time to
come. The crowds of people on the

carried in every direction indicated that
the parents took as much pleasure in the
giving as the children do in the receiv-
ing.
The first ball of the California Social
Club was given at Turner Hall last night,
on which occasion a large crowd was
present. Eagle Corps, N. G. G. also
gave ball and exhibition drill at
Armory Hall which was largely at
tended. There were Christmas trees at
a number Of the churches for the benefit of
the children. The attendants of the
Sunday school of the East Los Angeles
Congregational Church were loaded with
gifts as also were those of tho First Bap-
tist, Fort street NJ. E. Church and others.
To-day the services in the churches
will be general, and special services Will
be held at the Church of the Epiphany,
Fort street M. E. Church, st. Vincent's g
