The Keyser Echo very Indignantly
protests against the action of the
Legislative Committee on the loca'
ton of the State Reform School, in
selecting Pruntytown, an old aban'
doned county seat, in an out of the
way place, the land so billy that
farming is almost oct of the question,
and expanding already over $4,000
without anything much to show for
it, and asking the Legislature fol
more. The committee now Is with
out further funds, and confronted
with a very disheartening state o.
affairs this, too, in the face of the
fact that Wheeling, Parkersburg
Keysec, Harper's Ferry, Berkeley
Springs, and other towns, made very
liberal offers and valuable induce
ments to secure the Reform School
But what can the citizens Of West
Va. expect from a scheming politi
cal ring that holds the State in it,

q. S. Marshal White is still being
pursued by his Democratic enemies,
and they made personal and political
asses out of themselves in trying to
defeat his confirmation because he
defended himself against a partisan
slugger who assaulted him without
any cause whatever. 1t is not states
men who stoop' to such dirty work,
but pothouse politicians,who get into
the U. S. Senate not on their merits,
not By the will of the people, but by
accident or the use of money. 1t is
to Marshal Whites honor and credit
that these political vultures are peck
ing at him. 1t proves what is gen.
orally admitted, that he is doing bis
duty, breaking up violations OF the
laws, and shielding no one. He de-
serves the good will and moral sup
port of every good citizens, and the
political friendship and backing OF
the Republican Party.

JUMBLE'S LETTER.

What about the indictments of sa-
loonists of Martinsburg for selling Ii
quOr to minors? We have learned
that there is an attempt to push their
business by creating an appetite in
the youth for the vile stuff will any
body doubt 1t now when ten indict-
ments were found against one man ?
Will such cases be prosecuted by the
states Attorney? Will they be brought
to justice? If not, why not? Are our
Lawyers showing such violators of the
law the loop-holes of escape; will it
need that some of the Lawyers sons
or very near friends be victims to the
accursed traffic before these family de-
stroyers, these murderers and
thieves who steal our children's appe-
tites In our absence, shall be put be-
hind the bars and kept there?
The States Attorney has been put
where he Is to protect our homes. Is he
doing it? We are insulted ? The
Grand Jury has discovered the villany
of some Of the whisky saloon keepers
Of our town. Are those saloon keep
ers to be allowed to continue their
business in Martinsburg? Have such
proved that they have moral charac-
ter sufficient to continue. Let the
States Attorney do his duty. Let
him get the help of one or two of the
best lawyers of this city and prove
himself worthy Of his Office by bringing
the facts before the court, and throw
ing the responsibility upon the jury.

BLAINE ON PROTECTION.

Giving heed to the cry of the pro
fessional Free-Trader in America,
Mr.. Gladstone feels sure that, though
the protected manufacturers in the
United States may flourish aud pros.
per, they do so at the expense of the
farmer, who is IN every conceivable
form, according to the free-trade
dictam, the helpless victim of protec.
ton. Both Mr.. Gladstone and the
American Free Trader have, then,
the duty of explaining why the agri.
cultural States of the West have
grown in wealth during the long
period of protection at more rapid
rate than the manufacturing States
Of the East.
1t may perhaps surprise Mr.. Glad.
stone to De told that out of the fifty
largest fortunes in the United States
those that have arrested public
attention within the last ten years
certainly not more than one has been
derived from protected manufactur.
ing.
Fortunes rapidly change. With
us wealth seldom lasts beyond two
generations. There is but one fami.
ly in the United States recognized
as possessing large wealth for four
consecutive generations. When Mr..
Jefferson struck the blow that broke
down the right of primogeniture and
destroyed the privilege OF entail, he
swept away the only ground upon
which wealth can be secured to one
family for a long period.
In no event can the growth of
large fortunes be laid to the
charge of the protective policy. Pro-
lection has proved distributor of
great sums Of money ;not an agency
for amassing it in the hands of few.
The records of our saving banks and
building associations can be appeal.
ed to in support of this statement.
The benefit of protection goes first
and last to the men who earn their
bread in the sweat of their faces.
The suspicious and momentous result
is that never before in the history of
the world has comfort been enjoyed,
education acquired, and indepen.
dence secured by SO large proper.

AN UNPARALLELED WINTER"

The superstition that the weather
is changing will probably outlast all
the rest. Few realize within what
narrow limits the weather works. If
our January were 100 colder on the
average civilization would be impossi-
BILE on account Of the cold flour aver
age July weather were l00 warmer.
Philadelphia would have q climate in
which civilization has never been per-
manent on account of the lassitude Of
heat. II our average annual tempera-
ture were moved up or down l00, the
entire character of our daily life would
be revolutionized.
The lesson of all this is that very
slight changes in the temperature
make a great change in our feeling
and habits. These alterations for a
month may not be enough to alter by
half degree the average temperature
of year hut, on the unthinking and
uniformed, they leave the impress.
sion that this time the weather is
changing for sure.
Just a century ago, in January, 1890
this city had month of winter wealth
er exactly like that now. For the
month it averaged A degrees, which
is Just the average for this month thus

of the thermometer was a shade warm

there was thunder and lightning, as
within the past ten days, and it vas
not until February 7th, that cold
weathe. began.
This fs not the only warm January
of the FIRST half of the past 100 years.
In 1898 there was no ice in either river
and but one dash Of snow in January.
In 1902 the weather was IS mild as
