We reproduce above statement Of Capt.
I. 4. Tobin, Surveyor OF Customs, pub
lished January 10, to show the public how
much we outrnnk all would-hc competitors
in our line in importing cigars direct from
Havana. We now receive importations
direct from Havana every week, and
though the past quarter shows that our
imports were only seven times that oi our
would.bc competition, the next quarter We
think will show ten times as much.

The Union City Anohor In answering
the claim that conventional rate Of Ia.
torcst law will bring foreign capital into
the State, says
"well, II that IL the case, Il will no, be
brought for tho purpose Of investment In
property, but Co loan for interest, the in.
icfcst 10 be- taken out Of the country and
sent 20 the capitalists no moro TO return,
unless for the purpose OF being COM
pounded. The principal, u paid, Is also
carried back, aud thus, II $1,000 Is bor-
rowed at 10 per cent, 81, 100 Is taken out
ut the end Of the year, and OF course the
500 II Withdrawn from the State, and
there Is that much money less In the
end"
We don't suppose any man In tho State
would be idiot enough 10 borrow sl,OOO
and keep II Ia his pocket all the year Just
for the fan ~ paying the man he burrows
from siOO moe than he received. II the
use Of that $1,000 for year enables
him 10 make 500 lac can better Afford TO
send si0O OF Il out Of the State than not
10 make anything at all. And the circu.
lAiion Of that 81 900 In the state
through the year will probably enable
several other men 10 make agood per cent
ON Il. Is there any more justice IN the
law fixing tho price Of money than OF
wheat. corn or any other commodity
Money has iluctuatng value, regulated
entirely by the law Of supply and demand.
and. law or no law, Il Is always going 70
bring In tho market Just what Il is worth:
A conventional rate Of interest would tend
TO increase both the supply and the de-
mand, aud thus, by throwing more money
into circulation, quicken the pulse OF trade
In every line OF business. We hope oui
present Legislature will give US such a Law
before IL adjournA

NO SENATOR YET.

Tb. news from Charleston on
"Wednesday seems to indicate that
the Democrats are in a hole, and that
they have been placed in the said
hole through the treachery of some
of their own party. In the caucus on
Monday night Senator Kenna was
more than a two-third majority. On
Tuesday, when the Democrats had a
clear majority of two on joint ballot,
four Democrats refused to support
the nominee. They were Flournoy,
Van Pet, Merrill and Dorr. Had
these men been true to their party a
Democratic Senator would have been
elected. They were not, and the
chances are that the Democrats will
be tricked yet, and a Republican Sen
ator chosen.
A special dispatch from Charleston
to the REGISTER on Wednesday even
ing said: "Kenna 40, Goff AZ. Four
Democrats refuse to vote for Kenna." "
This is a repetition of Tuesdays vote.
and there is no intimation that the
situation will be changed soon. The
constituentsoft the four kickerS should
call them home and send genuine
Democrats in their places.
There is nothing new to report on
the gubernational question. The re-
has not been declared, and there are
no indications rs TO who will win.

Proceedings of the Legislature.

In the House on Monday, Delegate
Shelton. of Lincoln county, spranS
the long looked-for sensation i'll re
gard to charges of bribery, and pre-
sented an affidavit 20 the effect that
he had twice been approached with
improper propositions, once before
and once after the opening of the Leg
islature. The inducement offered was
a large amount of money, and in re-
turn he was to agree to vote for the
Republican candidate for United
States Senator The reading Of the
affidavit was listened to with profound
silence.
Mr.. Hanen, Republican. of Marshall
county, Immediately offered a resolu
ton that a committee of five be APP
pointed TO investigate and report on
the matter.
Mr.. Lively, of Lewis county, offered
as a substitute that a committee be
appointed TO investigate not only this
case, but all other cases of alleged
bribery in connection with the cleo
ton of United States Senator. The
substitute was agreed to without de-
bate, and Messrs Sprigg, Lively, Sgd
enstricker, Hanen and Moore were
appointed On the committee.
In the Senate, Mr. Van Pelt pre-
sented bill requiring railroad com
panies operating in this State to
transport over their respective roads
within the State all State officers and
members of the Legislature free of
charge during their term of Office.
A bill was also introduced to estab-
lish State board of Immigration and
development, and appropriating So
900 per year for this and next year.
In the House, Mr.. Dorr offered
resolution to the effect that the com
mittee on the judiciary inquire into
the expediency of calling constitu-
onal convention and report by bill
or otherwise. The resolution was
adopted.
Bills were introduced in the House
changing the age of consent Of fe
males from l2 10 16 years; relating to
corporations for mutual relief and
protection on assessment plan; pro-
viding for the regulation of railroad
freights and passenger tariffs in the
State; to prevent unjust discrimina-
ton and extortion in rates charged.
The House passed resolution set
ting forth that it was the sense Of the
Legislature that no proposition be
received or considered relating to the
so-called West Virginia debt certifi
Gates until it had been first submitted
to the consideration of the people of
the State. There is no doubt that
this resolution will be concurred in by
the Senate.

West Virginia Board of immigration.

The State Board Of Immigration
and Development met in Charleston
on Friday evening last, January 25th,
and transacted business of impor-
lance. The session was secret, but it
is understood a bill was prepared to
present to the Legislature for its
adoption. The bill asks for an APP
preparation of $4,000 year for this
and next year. The continuation of
the board will depend largel! upon
the action Of the Legislation in this
matter of granting the appropriation.
At night the board held an open SEES
sion in the hall of the House of Dele
gates, and President Charles b. Hart
delivered his annual address, in which
he recommended immediate action in
building up the population and in
terests of the State by inviting immi-
grafton. Mr.. Hart says so far the OPP
erations of the board have been
crowned with gratifying success.
There is much interest taken in the
matter. and citizens are using every
endeavor to put the board upon a
sound basis.

A special from Aitken, Mimi, says:
"Wm. Brown attempted suicide here
Wednesday in most novel manner
and finally succeeded in a more pro-
sale manner. He climbed to the roof
of a building and let himself over the
edge head first. He hung for a long
time by his toes, then let loose, fall
ing headlong TO the ground. He
wanted to break his neck, but only
shook himself thoroughly, and he at
once climbed up and tried over again
in the same way. He was this time
knocked senseless and broke his
shoulder. Sheriff Markham took
charge of him, and he was adjudged
insane and ordered taken to the asy-
lum. While the sheriff was out chop
ping wood Brown tore up his shirt
and made rope, with which he hung
himself to the bars of the cell, being
dead when the sheriff found him."
