So unbIushing and notorious was
the use of money to influence the
recent elections in this country that
the Governors of New York, New
Jersey, West Virginia, Tennessee,
Indiana, Kansas, Iowa and other
States have, in recent messages to
their respective Legislature, recon-
mended in the strongest terms the
absolute necessity of more stringent
election laws. The title of General
Harrison to the Chef Magistracy OF
tho Nation has been deliberately
bought for money, and he will hold
the Office for four years as the fruit
of the corrupt methods of Quay and
Dudley.

nc Whseling Reqister very trnly

The Wheeling Register very truly
aud sensibly says 'sThe Reqister
some time ago took occasion to warn
the Democrats of the Legislature
against repeating the unfortunate
mistake Of two years ago, the dis
astrous result of which we have
experiepced in the November cleo
tion.
'iThere has as yet been no serious
break in the harmony that ruled
among Democrats at the opening
.of the session and promised such
plain sailing to the party; but the
signs as exhibited in tho repeated
fssilures of the Democratic caucus to
nominate-a United States Senator
are neither pleasing nor reassuripg.
ssThe Democrats can certainly not
have forgotten the lesson of the
November election. It was bitter
pill to swallow, but the Register has
trusted that it did the party good
and that they would in futurs guard
against a repetition of the fatal
blnnder.
personal spite, personal disap-
p.iintmont, personal dislike defeated
Hon. johnson n. Camden two years
ago. We sowed the wind then and
we reaped the disastrous whirlwind
last November
aIf the same tactics are now re-
pcated in the Democratic caucus
the logical result of utter and com
pFete Democratic defeat will follow
as sure as fate, and the men who
cause it will surely sign and execute
their own and probably their party's
death warrant.
aThe life and essence of Democ-
raey is majority rule. Acquiescence
in the will of the majority is the
keystone of our government. He
who refuses to abide by it is not a
true Democrat, for he denies the
vital principles of the party"

"For fifty years, down to 1924,
when the duty was taken off the
imported wool in England" says
Mr.. Edward Atkinson, the statisti-
clan, sand for the subsequent sixty
years in this country, it has been
true that the higher the duty the
lower the price of domestic wool. F"
This is a fact which the wool
growers may put in their pipe and
smoke away at for the next four
years. 1t is but another way of
saying that whatever policy Grip
pies the manufacturer of stuffs from
a given raw material, no industry
is safe that has a tax for its foun-
dation.

If We could but have few more
years of National Democratic ad-
ministration, Uncle Sam could defy,
and whip. the world on the seas
But, alas. Secretary Whitney who
has wrought such a miracle in our
Mary Department is to step down
and out in a month or so. Who
will his successor be and what will
he do? Will he follow IN the foot
steps of his Republican predecessors
and allow the navy Mr.. Whitney
has built to go to rack and ruin
Time will show. Mr.. Harrison can
not be TOO careful in appointing
Secretary Whitney's successor. His
equal is not to be found among the
men now before the public as Cab
met possibilities, but Mr.. Harrison
should take care to put the best of
them in Mr. whituey's shoes.

The Charleston Star, IN advocat-
ing reformntory school in this
State, says as follows:
aThe Star, during the last session
of the legislature, repeatedly urged
the great necessity of legislation in
reference TO the establishment of a
reformatory school. The opportun-
| ity is now presented in most excel
lent form by the bill introduced by
Senator Price in the senate. The
bill provides for the establishment
of the West Virginia reform school
at such locality as the board of pub
lie works may select, suitable build
ings to be erected by board of
directors, which shall have control
of making rules for che management
and government of such school and
the appointment of the necessary
officers. The manner of receiving
inmates is as follows: male minors
may be committed by a justice of
the peace of any county on COM
plant by parent. guardian or next
friend, that by reason of incorri-
gible or vicious conduct, such minor
is beyond theirtcontrol. 1t further
provides, that male minors may be
committed by a justice for vagrancy
and incorrigible and vicious conduct
on the part of the minor, and that
for moral deprayity or Otherwise,
his parents or guardian do not exe
ercise proper discipline and care.-+
Parents and guardians desiring to
place minors under temporary re-
straint and discipline may have
them committed and contract with
the board of directors for their sup
port. Male minors under is years
of age, convicted of crime In any of
the courts in the state; may in the
discretion of the court, be sent to
the reform school, instead of the
jail or penitentiary. The board of
directors is accorded with power
to bind out inmates subject to GER
tain restrictions The bill was in
troduced by Senator Price at the
sessions of 1885 and 1887, and pass
ed in the senate by large majorities,
but for want of time did not pass in
the house. 1t is earnestly gto be
hoped, taking it for granted it will
be passed in the senate, that the
house will promptly act upon it and
its enactment be secured"

The people of the Union desire a
judicious protective policy. They
want the labor of our general pro-
ductive industries protected to the
full extent of the difference between
the wages of foreign and American
workingmen; but they do not want,
and they will not long tolerate, the
prostitution of a beneficent protec-
tive policy for labor to the creation
and protection of exacting monopoly.
And they will be quickened to dis
elimination between the protection
of labor and the protection of mono
poly by the ostentatious centribu-
tions to political corruption funds,
which came from those who are
amassing wealth by restrictive
tariff policy that gives only high
taxes and low wages to labor. Fit

tfonal verdict means immunity to
centralized wealth and the snrren:

Withstand the drain upon it in this
direction that the Albemarle section
of our State has, and there are TOUR
items that have been particularly
against us IN this direction. We will
mention them, and, rs far as In us
lies, suggest the remedy.
The first of them is horses and
mules. Many thousands OF dollars
that can be ill-spared is sent to the
West every year. To remedy this,
we would advise hat every farmer
make an effort to raise his own team
at home.
I'd, Sewing Machines: We would
| suggest that an effort be made to
manufacture these at home by our
own people, if possible; and if this
cannot be done, that we offer such in
| ducements to manufacturers abroad
as will cause them to move their
establishments here and give employ
ment to our laborers.
Sd, Fertilizers: We can see nc rea-
son on earth why these cannot be ma,
nipulated at home, We have an
abundance of material for both the
goods and the sacks and would re-
commend that as soon as practicable
factories for the manufacture of these
be established in every section of the
State.
4th, Insurance : This is ar abuse
that ought to be speedily remedied,
and we would earnestly request that
at an early date a company be estab-
lished here in this State to be run in
the interest of the Alliance and where
the farmers may find protection at
home for both life and property.
