the sponge being thrown up for Kill

battle was one of the hardest ever
fought between big men in this
country, but from the start to finish
Sullivan had decidedly the best of it.
Kilrain did not prove to be the won.

Ivan threw him as often as he was
thrown, and with far greater severity.
The day was intensely hot and this
added to the punishment of the men.

A statement comes from London,
England, to the effect that the per-
liminary surveys of railroad to run
from Jaffa, on the sea coast in Pales.
tine, to Bethlehem, have just been
completed, and that a party of engi.
neers were to have started from
London last week for the Holy Land
to lay out the route. A company
has already been formed to build
the road, in which a number of En-.
glish and French bankers are interest
ed. From all accounts it is a pure.
ly business enterprise, without %
trace ofsentiment or religious fervor.
The travel in the Holy Land of late
years has been increasing steadily,
and it is believed if first-class rail
way Accommodations we're furnished,
the number of tourists who annually
visit Jerusalem from all parts OF the
earth would soon be trebled.
This invasion of the Holy Land as
business enterprise, may have in it
a deeper significance. 1t is one OF
the incomprehensible things in the
history of christianity, that the seat
of the influences sent out to conquer
the world to Christ, should have
passed to the possession of the follow.
ers OF Mahommed, and priest and
alta! banished from that land. 1t
may be that the returning tide of
christianity is about to be manifested
in the country which was hallowed
by the presence of our Saviour, and
that the material agency indicated
above Is to be the forerunner to the
restoration of the Holy Land to the
control of the civilization which ema.
mates from the Cross, and is to assert
its power over all people.

Hon. w. L. Wilson left for Europe
this week to study the question Of
Trusts and Monopolies, and presum
ably to get reinforcement of Free
Trade ideas with which to fight the
strong protective element in his
party in this state in the Tariff Re
form campaign of 1892. Mr.. Wilson's
writings ON the tariff are nothing
more than supplements to Mr.. Cleve
lands Free Trade messages. The
right kind OF protection leader in the
Second Congressional District in
1890 may not do as much writing
and talking as Mr. Wilson does, but
he will do more popular voting as

That investors believe that low
rates of interest have come to stay,
can be seen in the constant refund.
ing of first class securities at lower
rates of interest. The Savings Bank
of Baltimore has just offered 103 for
$5O0,00 of the 81 per cent. bonds OF
that city with 80 years to run. This
would seem to indicate that low
rate of interest for first.rate city and
State securities has become q per.
manent and settled thing. The State
of Maryland is now exchanging its
8 per cent. loan of more than 4,00O,.
900 for 3 per cent. securities, and
finds no difficulty whatever in doing
so, many foreign holders accepting
the terms. Where investors have
been accustomed to and 6per cent.
interest the drop to 3 and 81 per
cent. makes a serious difference IN
the returns, but the abundance of
money seeking secure investment is
steadily making the rate of interest
lower.
The people of West Virginia have
in this the best evidence that their
would-be statesmen and legislators,
who tried so hard to find the State
for FIVE PER CENT interest for
thirty-five years on debt this State
does not owe, we're consulting their
own financial interests as capitalists
and money-making men rather than
the welfare of the people as their
representatives. West Virginia's
obligations are as good as those of
Baltimore or New York, and her Sc
curities as safe as the governments
itself. There is no reason, then, why
West Virginia should pay per cent.
when cities and governments accept
3. In the first place and the last
place, there is no reason why West
Virginia should assume old Virginia's
debt at any rate.

Messrs. Greer, Kantner, Grozinger,

ed that it is impossible to accom-
modate all applicants with the few
positions at command. These men
have been strongly endorsed and
their appointment would have been
gratifying to the party, but they see
the impossibilty of all getting in, and
accept the result in the best faith as
far as the party and the appointing
power are concerned. The Republic
can party will not forget their claims
and services, and as it is good for
twenty-four years more of Republic
can administration, their chances will
be the best hereafter. The Democrat
ic demon of discord will try hard to
get his work to play in the Republi-
can ranks, but with poor success, no
pay and less thanks,-the usual result
of poking its nose into other peoples
business. The Republican party has
an admirable way of remembering
and sustaining its friends and punish
ing its enemies, and it will take care
of its own interests in its own good
way. The Democrats cry chooses !"
because they have been used to them
for years, while the Republicans
take the first opportunity to fatten
out anything Of the kind. If there
are any grievances time will redress
them most effeetually without the
loss of vote to the Republican
party, leaving the pretenders TO abso-
Lutte party rulership hanging high and
dry on the Democratic gateposts where
they belong.

WHAT 1T COSTS

$4,000 is THE COST OF THE INvEsTI-

COMMITTEE TO THE STATE AND
$4,000
FOR AN EXTRA SESSION OF THE
LEGISLATURE.

GRAFTON, w. VA, July S.-For
twelve years the State of West Vir.
ginia has been rapidly and surely
going Republican. In 1876 the Dem.
ocrats carried the State by MAORI.
ty of over 10000. In 1880 the Re.
publicans reduced that majority to a
little over $4,000. and in 1884 the
State went Democratic by majority
of only 4,400. 1t but required the
same ratio of reduction in 1888 to
give the State Republican Cover.
nor, and every Republican and many
Democrat felt and believed that
that result was inevitable. After
Cleveland's message and the cam.
paign of 1888 had been sprung on
the people this confidence gave way
to certainty, for the assault made in
that message and campaign on raw
material and the manufactured arti-
cles which constitute West Vlrginia's
sole industrial wealth, it was appar
ent to all, could not do otherwise
than wipe out the little remnant OF
Democratic majority that remained.
The result proved that this opinion
was not groundless, for General Golf
was elected Governor by small but
safe majority. But to the Democrats
the result was preposterous. They
could not see how it was possible for
West Virginia to be anything else
than Democratic, and charged blind
ly and boldly that the ballots had
been brought from adjoining States
to bring about this result, and that
Golf was never elected by West Vir.
ginia votes. They scoffed at the
idea of the Republican party having
grown so rapidly in this State as to
down the Democratic hosts. Well,
by a little wire work and rule or ruin
policy the Legislature was made
Democratic by majority of one, and
thereby hangs tale.
