The West Virginia Fraud.

A partisan court in West Virginia has
given such decision as was to have been
expected. The constitution of that state
requires the legislature to canvass the
returns and declare who il elected to the
Governorship The returns of the late
election in that state showed that General
Nathan Golf, the Republican candidate,
was elected Governor. But the legisls-
ture neglected tc perform its coustltu-
tional duty, and made no declaration of
the fact as to mis- election. Undoubtedly
an honest majority of Republicans were
elected members of the legislature, but
they were defrautied out of their seats by
rascally and desperate practices, and the
fictitious Democratic majority so created
bv neglect of duty attempted 10 defraud
Governor-elect Golf out of his Office.
The oath of office vas taken by Cen
eral Gatf March 4, the day provided by
law, but Governor Wilson (who was not
a candidate at the late election) claimed
that the failure of the legislature to de-
clare who had been elected deprived Gen
erai Grf of his right to Office, and that a
vacancy therefore existed which be should
fill bv sholiing over General Gift APP
piled to the Democratic Supreme court
for a judgment putting him into the
office to which he had been elected, but
the order to that effect WAS refused The
court held that, though be had received a
majority of the votes, his title to the Office
was imperfect from the refusal of the leg
islature to declare him elected.
This mo1strous decision entirely de-
streys the power of the Suffrage in that
state. 1t establishes the law, SO far as il
goes, that a majority CT votes can not
place man in Office il by Legislative nal
practice such is not declared to be the
fact-that is, that the will of the people
Is imperative, and that dishonest psr-
tisan majority in the legislature makes
the Governor, instead of the Governor be-
ing made at the ballot box. Some way
ought to be found to upset this fraud on
justice and common sense Chicago

Keenly searching the uuproductive ground

KENTUCKYS GIRL PREACHER.

Mary SemOns, ten years of age,
has delivered four sermons in this
place, and IS becoming quite popu--
lar as a preacher. She has a good
voice and splendid delivery for one
so Dung. Mary is the daughter
of fairly well.to. do farmer. who
lives about four miles from this
place. From infancy she displayed
unusual brightness. About eight
months ago she joined the Baptist
church here and said that the Lord
had called upon her to preach. She
first addressed a small cOngrega.
ton at her fathers house, and sue.
ceeded so well that she spoke next
in a church near by. The little
girl soon had a reputation through
out this and neIghboring counties.
After several months in the
country she preached here, and
her success was greater than it was
IN the rural districts. Under her
ministry several persons joined the
church. Many allege that her ser
mons cannot be surpassed by any
grown man or woman. Mary is
rather small for her years, has
sharp features, black eyes and hair
and is very intelligent. She will
continue her services here for sew
eral weeks and then she will go to
the larger Kentucky towns.-Fdt

John Bull Disguised With His Own
Medicine.

The London Iron, for December
18th, says At a crowded meeting
of wOrkmen engaged at the ROY a:
Small-Arms Factory, at Enheld
Lock, held last week, the following
resolution was passed unanimously:
THAT this meeting protests against
the continued employment of Ger
man labor to manufacture swords
for the British Government, and IS
of opinion that, as 1t has been
proved that Messrs. Wilkinson are
importing the bayOnets from Ger
many in an advanced stage OF man
ufacture, after receiving a higher
price to manufacture them in Eng
land, the contract should be can
celed and the order gwen to the
EnGeld wOrkmen, who are IN great
distress for want of work" II the
facts are as stated in the resolu'
ton we unhesitatingly say that the
workmen have a grievance, ana
the government has no choice out
TO act upon the recommendation.
1t is not right that Germany should
supply these swords when English
men are IDLE. In the reverse case,
such a thing could not happen Ill
Germany, and the German Govern
ment would be too wise to allow
German manufacturers to OBTAIN
material intended for the use OF the
army from abroad which could he
II. ade at home. 1t has been al
legged that the swords could not lie
made so well here ds in Germany
Until positive proof of this asser'
ton is furnished we decline to be
lipVe il.

In the course of passing events
there has of late occurred a good
deal to strengthen the growing
notion that speaking out is the
best policy for Presidents, cabinet
ministers, and Senators. The
secrecy kept up by these public
functionaries is wholly contradic-
tory to the genius of American
institutions and quite often sub
yerslve of good government. Sup
pose Mr.. Bayard had asked the re-
porters into his Office a year ago
and SAID, "Gentlemen, have a
little item for you today. Germany
has been asserting herself often
slyely in Samoa. | have protested
vigorously against it. Here is my
cable dispatch to our minister In
Berlin, and you can have all the
information we have on the sub
iect.r In two days the entire press
of this country would have con
WINGED Bismarck that our Secre-
tary of State had the people up in
arms behind him. The later com.
plications would have been pre-
vented, and Mr.. Baysrd himself
would have been popular hero
Instead of all that, the facts have
come ont at last through the dark
and dusty channels OF communica-
ton with the Senate, and the only
good end served is to show where
opportunities were lost. Public
sentiment rules this country, and
there is no reason why any four,
five, or seventy men, anywhere in
public. representative capacity,
should strive to prevent the peo-
pie from getting possession of the
news of the day. The secret SEES
siOns of the Senate are subject to
the same objections. They thwart
good government. The discussion
of nomination should be so con-
Quoted that 1t can stand daylight.
There may be good reason tor
secrecy now and then in consider
ing a treaty. But even that is
rare. The fundamental principle
OF accountability is the strongest
safeguard in a representative
democratic form of government

Greed of the "Trus Lights"
A STRANGE SECT WHICH TEACHES
OF THREE HEAVENS AND
THREE HELLS.

CHARLESTON, S. O., Feb. g.
Some excitement has been caused
in the middle counties Of the State
by the advent of a new religious
sect whose apostles have started
out on a crusade. Apostle jenkins
explains the new creed as follows {:
They believe in three heavens and
three bells. Life on earth is both
heaven No. l, and hell No. 1. Then
there is a hell and heaven where
people, or rather their souls, stay
between death and judgment, and
then permanent heaven and hell.
Their view as TO creation as set
forth by Mr. Jenkins is rather
novel. He cited the first chapter
of st. John to prove that Jesus
Christ was present at the creation.
lie said that Jesus and God were
the only two beings who could
create something from nothing
The devil came from space, which
was never created nor had il a
beginning. The beginning of
creation was for the benefit
of Gods offspring The soul
of men which we're not
created by Him had embryonic ex.
istence in God. Apostle jenkins
is from North Carolina; his sect is
known as "The True Lights He
says there are about 200 True
Lights il this State, and few IN
North Carolina and Georgia.
