kingwOod Argus.
We have no objection to Nathan
Golf keeping his money out of West
Virginia enterprises, but it makes us
most Internal tired to hear Republic
cans believing about developing
West Virginia if they could get it
out of the Democratic column, when
in fact they have never done one
thing for the State and nevcrintend
to.
Gen, Golf is nothing but a politi-
cal lecch. lie has held office for the
last twenty-five years, and during
that time he has never used his in
tiuence to have outside capital to
come into our State Not so with
Henry q. Davis and johnson n.
Camden. They have been instru-
mental in having outside capitalists
come into West Virginia and invest
their money. We want to give
credit to whom credit is due, re-
gardless of politics, but we are OPP
posed to this fulsome laudation OF
IL man who has never doncanything
for the State but ask for office! office!

The Plumber OF tIle capitol.

Our Washington correspondent
sent us a statement which will in
terest many people, and for various
reasons. 1t has occurred to them
to ascertain the number of appoin-
tees of the Democratic administra-
ton in Washington in the three
great Departments-the Treasury,
Interior and Post Officc-and the
number of "hoId overs, as they are
called-officials appointed by Re
publican administrations and still
in office. The figures stand thus
Treasury, 200 ::hold overs y
with 81 ,SS5, 900 animal pay, and 4lO
Democratic appointments, with
SS79,340 annual pay.
INTERIOR, 6T4 ::hold overs, with
81, 100000 annual pay, and 1856
Democratic appointments, with
S55O, 900 annual pay.
Post Ofice-449 "hold overs, =
with $3.50, 900 annual salary, and l 43
Democratic appointees, with $780,
900 pay.
Republican iice-scekers will see
in these figures cause for despair,
because Mr.. Harrison can scarcely.
be asked to turn out Republican
otiice-holders who have survived
the Democratic flood to make room
for the hungry who are already be-
seiging him.
Civil service reformcrs will see in
them cause to congratulate them
selves that they have had strength
enough with Mr.. Cleveland to keep
so great proportion of Republicans
in office.
Democrats will wonder why, when
they came in on the cry of Republi-
can malldministration and corrup-
ton, so large a number of their OPP
ponents in Office were found by Mr..
Cleveland to have all the requisites
of honesty, capacity and fidelity

In his inaugural address Presi-
dent Harrison insists upon a strict
adherence to the protective system,
a system4under which the iron and
other manufacturing interests are
to-day Frustrated. Mills are being
closed, men turned out of employ
ment while the wages of others are
being reduced. All this time the
prices of the necessaries of life are
being maintained and workingmen,
plucked on both sides, are put to
the bitterest stress, at a period when
they We're promised good times and
everything pointed to prosperous
future. 1t looks as though protec-
ton does not protect laboring men.

The good deaeons of Maine are
Mortified by the passage in the State
house of representative of phar-
macy bill, which permits little less
than free rum. The bill authorizes
municipal officers to license any
number of drug stores, in any town
or city, to sell liquor on physicians
prescriptions for any amount not
exceeding Il quart. Any druggist,
who is doctor, can sell on his own
prescription. The bill passed by
the vote offorty eight to eighty-four.
1t has not yet become u law, but
there is very fair prospect that it
will.
No wonder Neal Dow and his
friends are beginning to storm. 1t
looks like Maine was ready to break
away from her prohibition idol.
This is truly encouraging result
OF thirty years trial.
