The speaker who told the Evan
gelical Alliance in Boston that he
did not believe the world is growing
worse must be, says the Philadelphia
Enquirer, reader of the newspapers
and student of human nature. It
is plain to every unparalleled OBJ
server that the world is not growing
worse, but better. Vice remains
here and there in plague spots of
great intensity, and those who look
only at such places see depravity
that causes them to despair for the
future of humanity; but those whose
vision takes a wider range and In
cludes a comparison of the general
state of society now with that of a
hundred, or fifty, or even twenty
years ago, see such manifest improve
ment in public morals that it seems
to them as if the millennium might
come almost any day.

those huge rocks fore and aft, but
when he got them in place, they
were there to stay. To use his ex-
preston, we are glad to note, that
you still ''slash" right and left for
the welfare of Martinsburg and her
people. In several issues, wooden

advantages and facilities you have,
it is q wonder indeed, that some
thing of this kind has not been put

a large number Of your worthy citi-

brief description, showing the pecu.

large cotton and duck mills along

CHARLESTON, w. VA, Jan. 49,
Judge O'Key Johnson opened the
argument for Judge Fleming in the
gubernatorial contest to-day. His
address was almost reproduction
of the partisan report of the Demo-
cratic majority of the contest: COM
mittee. A number of times during
his five hours address the pleader
was badly discomposed by questions
asked him by Republican members,
and he was finally compelled to take
refuge in refusal to make any ex-
plantations or answer any questions
whatever. He utterly failed to JUS
tify the Brooke county outrage, by
which the votes of seventy Republi-
cans-all of them residents and re-
spected citizens-are cast out. The
peculiar fagrancy Of this case can
best be understood when it is known
that Gen. Duval, war veteran, and
at present member of the Legisla-
ture, is one of the Republicans who
ars DISTINGUISHED by this high-handed
action of the majority.
Johnson also failed to make any
effective explanation of the Mercer
and Mcdowell county cases, in which
the Democrats charge gross frauds,
yet fail to prove the politics or resi-
dence Of the illegal voters, if there
were any, and yet persist In taking
200 votes from Golf on the strength
of their unsupported charges.
Golf himself was on the floor OF
Assembly to-day, and took notes oil
Johnson's argument. He viii speak
on Friday. The Republican mem.
bers of the Assembly and many
Democrats focked about him, and
gave him an ovation. This is his
first appearance on the floor since
the contest began. Fleming, how
ever, has been haunting the House
for days. Hubbard, the leading
counsel for Golf, will speak to-mor
row, and argument by counsel viii
be closed on Saturday.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, Jan. Co.
The Legislature re-assembled this
morning. There were numerous bills
introduced in each branch. In the

wha river at this point was passed.
In the House Mr.. Chew introduced
joint resolution instructing the
Senators and Representatives in Con.
gress from West Virginia to vote to
place the worlds exposition at Chi
cago. There were objections to the
resolution, and under the rules IL will
lie over one day.
In the joint assembly the commit
tee appointed to formulate rules and
regulations to govern the proceed
ings in the contest between Fleming
and Golf for Governor reported, al
lowing attorneys not members of the
Legislature to appear before the joint
assembly to argue the case. The
time to be consumed by the attor-
neys is ten hours, and the time set
for argument to begin is Wednesday
next. The minority report has been
printed and will be placed in the
hands of members tomorrow, and on
the day set the contest will be begun
in earnest.
Speaker Woods was taken quite i'll
this morning with nasal hemorrhage.
He had to be removed to his private

worst, as his health has been very
bad for some time. Should he die
it will leave tie in the joint assem-

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Jan. 2l.---
Both houses of the West Virginia
Legislature met in joint assembly
this afternoon. The joint commit
tee to formulate rules to govern the
joint session in the gubernatorial
contest, made a report, which allows
Judge Fleming and Gen. Golf to APP
pear for themselves, if they so de-
sire, and twelve hours is allowed to
members OF the commit DC to discuss
the report, time to be equally divi-
ded between the majority and minor
ity, the chairman Of the committee
to close. Other members of the
Legislature will have the right to
discuss the question when any MEM
Der of the committee who has the
floor yields q portion of his time. 1t
is understood that Gen. Golf will APP
pear in his own behalf with his attor-
neys, but Judge Fleming will leave
all to his attorneys.
The House passed a resolution to-
day instructing West Virginia's Re-
representatives. and Senators to vote
for Chicago for the worlds fair,
should the question be narrowed
down to a choice between Chicago
and New York.
