Free Trade-.Republican Infer.
ence That 1t is a Very Good
Thing.
New York World.

None of the Democratic Senators
have been deferred from insisting
upon a reduction of the tariff now
by the cry of their opponents that
the logic of their argument would
lead to ultimate free trade" Moth
ing shows more plainly the essential
weakness of the protectionist posi-.
ton, and the consciousness of its de-
tenders that it is weak, than does
this plea that tariff reduction will
"lead TO free trade
How can tariff reduction lead to
free trade unless it shall operate to
the benefit of the country? If the
"first step" leads to good results,
have not the people right to take
another step in the same directioni
If it works i'll, are they likely to try
more?
Nothing can be done further with
out the decree of the people. The
beneficiarics of the war tariff are
afraid TO give the people any relief
lest they should want more. The
Democrats trust both their theory
and the people. If freer trade shall
lead to free trade it will be because
the country finds freedom better
than restriction.
And if the people shall make this
discovery will they not be entitled
to it's benefits2 Or do the monopo-
lies own this government?

*What will become Of our coal
minesfs i 4 frequent question, since
the whole town is soon 10 be heated
by gas.
Many persons can see no other re-
suit than the almost complete de-
struction Of the wealth Of coal with
which our hills are underlaid.
SO it was when railroads were first
introduced--the opinion was then
general that they would do away
with the use of horses, and such
stock would not be worth the rails
ing. But the more railroads there
were built the more use there was
for horses, and instead Of horse stock
going down it went up beyond any
previous value.
With the coming Of gas there will
arise new uses for coal. It may be
some time before,the effect of it's
abandonment by the community
generally will be met in other direc-
tions, but the time is sure to come
In the meantime the demand for
coal in the various markets of the
world is greater than ever before and
is on the increase. If our local coal
dealers want market for their coal
abroad, they can get it, and we have
railroad and river, both of which
are ready to transport it. There
ought to be, in any event, a horse or
steam railroad, connecting our prin-
cipal coal mines with the railroad
and the river, and at the same time
with the town market.
But we believe the day for the use
Of coal as fuel in the ordinary way
is past. 1t is great waste of raw
MATERIAL to throw coal into the
stove or CRATE and consume it solely
for heating purposes There are
several distinct products of coal that
may be used in different ways rem
dering the raw material much more
valuable.
If the gas were preserved which
is eliminated in the process of max
ing coke, the coke is then worth as
much per ton as the coal was, and
the gas as much more.
Moreover we do not believe that
the world will readily be reconciled
to returning to the use of coal if the
natural gas product should ever be
exhausted. The gas is 30 much
more pleasant, clean, comfortable
and convenient than coal, that we
would regard coal as very unsatis-
factory substitute. If the natural
gas cannot be supplied hereafter,
there will be a resort to coal gas, and
the enormous waste now practiced
in the use of coal will thus be stop
ped.

our farmers This is strange whcl
we remember that majority Of thu
people are farmers, and that thu
farmers pay most Of the taxes. Thu
present Legislature will be called
upon to do something to promot'
and increase interest in agriculture
and advance the interests of the far
mer Congress has given this Stat,
SIS, 900 annually, for experiments il
agriculture, but the State finds itsel
without a farm upon which those
experiments can be made. Prof
Myers, director of the Experimental
Station, sets out the needs and re
quirements for the proper conducting
of those experiments in Bulletin No
L, issued from the station, which
should be in the hands Of every far
mer. His suggestions should be car
ried out by the Legislature. Provis
ion should be made for the purchase
of suitable farm and it ought to b.
thoroughly equipped so that the sta
ton could successfully accomplish
its mission, and be lasting benefit
to the farmers of our State. 1t is o
patent fact that interest in agricul-
ture is tagging in the State. Few Of
the improved methods have been In.
troduced, and majority of our far
mers are content to travel the we'll
beaten track of their fathers. BY
this means farm life has to many
become unattractive, and majority
of the sons of farmers are captivated
by the seductive allurements of other
pursuits and leave home. This state
of things cannot continue without
positive injury to the general wei
fare. The Legislature should make
Its serious duty to fall upon some
plan that would increase interest in
agriculture; something that would
enlighten the farmers, and make the
farm profitable and then the exodus
of young men would cease. Other
States are ahead OF us in this re-
spect. There is scarcely State in
the great cluster to which we belong
that does not have it's farmers insti-
tutes, at which practical farmers lee
ture on the various topics relative to
farm life and pertaining to the vari-
GUS interests of the farm. The ques-
tions raised by these lectures are
then discussed by the farmers pres
ent, and the good points presented
are treasured up, while the errors of
the lecturer are exposed and disre-
garded. These institutes are con
Quoted at State expense and the
good they are doing in some States
is simply incalculable. Is there any
State that needs this valuable in
struction more than West Virginia?
We think not, and we believe that a
similar plan adopted by our State
would greatly increase the interest
of the people in agricultural pursuits,
and prove lasting benefit to the
farmer. The appropriation for such
purpose need not be large to ac-
complish every purpose, and the far
mer should demand such recogni-
ton at the hands Of this Legislature.

The Republicans are about as
badly at war with themselves over
their tariff bill in the Senate, as they
were with the Democrats during the
campaign. But they must pass a
bill, or step down and out. They
will probably do both.

designed to strengthen the organiza-

This contains good suggestion for
the Democrats. Who among them
is doing anything to advance the in
terests of his party? West Virginia
is surely a Democratic State, yet by
tnNig inactivity in the late campaign
they made a narrow escape from de-
feat.

The situation at Charleston may
be briefly summarized as follows:
The partizan county court of Ka-
nawha, after doctoring the returns
to suit their party interests, and
striking out some district returns
where there we're Democratic MAORI
ties, and refusing to hear applica-
tions for striking out other districts
for similar reasons where there were
Republican majorities, and in the
face Of a restraining order by high
er court, sent in by the Secretary of
State. 1t is claimed moreover that
the aggregate vote shown on these
returns exceeds the number of the
voting population of the county.
When the Legislature met it was
the duty of the Secretary of State
to transmit to the Legislature the
returns of the election as received by
him, and among the returns thus re-
ceived by him from the late election
Course were the Kanawha returns
over which~a contest was pending
and undecided when they were sent
Ito the Secretary. With this contest
in Kanawha undetermined, Golf
would appear to have majority for
Governor on the face of the returns.
Moreover, Judge Fleming had
given notice Of contest for the Of
fee Of Governor, before the Legisla-
ture met, in which, if he succeeds he
will show that there were over one
thousand votes illegally cast for
Golf
Bnt with these two contests pend
ing the one over the Kanawha returns
and the other over the general result
the Republican schemers had deter
mined to have Golf declared elected
on the face of the returns when the
Legislature opened, and on the fourth
Of March, he would have gone
through the form of taking the oath
as Governor, assumed the admins
pof the Office, and altogether
red the contests. AS a part of
S scheme it was desigted to
lave off the election of U. S. Sena-
TOR until Golf had installed himself
as governor, and that he should then
either appoint successor after Ken
mas term had expired, or recognize
Legislator that would elect him,
Goff- depending upon a partisan U.
S. Senate to endorse this revolution
airy proceeding.
In order to intercept this nicely
laid scheme, the Democrats called
to their aid the courts and had the
illega! proceedings checked. At this
writing the matter is still pending
in the courts.

majority in the Senate refuse to or
ganize that body, seeking thus to
