Senator Pettigrew, of South
Dakota, one of the new Republican
members of the Senate, is evidently
not afraid of the Administration.
In an interview yesterday he says:
al received information last even
ing from Washington, from what |
consider a reliable source, that Sec
retary Noble would shortly vacate
his seat in the Cabinet. And ]
think that it is nothing but proper
that he should. He is utterly in
competent, intellectually, in temper
and disposition, for the high position
he now fills. His appointment wat
great mistake. l don't think h'
has any volition in the matter. l
he were to go out West and try t
make living by practicing law, h
would surely starve to death. ID
has not the Judgment and decision
requisite to success in high Office
His entire administration of tn
Office has been lame affair"

The town of Elkins, Randolph
county, is now one of the rising
towns of the State and within the
next six months there may be some
very lively developments of the coal
and timber in that vicinity looked
for. This town is patronized by
Stephen b. Elkins and Henry g.
Davis, and they are doing all in
their power that will tend to open
the mines and develop the forests
along the line of the West Virgins
Central Railroad. There are TO be
three new mines for coal opened i
a point near Elkins within the mex
three months.

Senator canden,s Views.

Ex-senator in an interview, in
New York, the other day, talk
ed of the political situation in this
State, and among other things,
said: "There has been nothing by
which the sentiment of the State on
presidential candidates can be de-
termined," he said. alt is safe to
say that West Virginia Democrats
will be in line to support the choice
of their convention, whoever he may
be. There is strong admiration
for Elk. President Cleveland, and an
impression exists that he will be
the candidate. westGirginia DEM
I,ocrats would support him gladly.
Tariff reform will be tae leading is
sue and on that the West Virginia
Democrats are with Mr.. Cleveland"
Mr.. Camden was asked who was TIE
most available man for Vice Presi-
dent. He said that question had
received little consideration. He
mentioned Gray, of Indiana, and
Dickinson, of Michigan, as among
those that had been talked of.

There are some significant figures
contained in the report of railroad
savings throughout the country.
These figures indicate a greater de-
gree of prosperity in the South than
any other quarter of the country.
The gross railroad earning for April,
as compared with the corresponding
month of last year, shows a gain of
9.S per cent. by Southern roads, IA
per cent. by the Eastern roads, 6
per cent. by the Pacific roads, 3 per
cent. by the Southwestern, "A per
cent. by the Changers, 1.6 per cent.
by the Centcral Western, and de-
crease of 3 per cent. by the trunk
lines. The business of the railroads
usually indicate the prosperity of
the region of country through which
they run.

West virginia's Raw Material.

wheeling lnteliigencer.
West Virginia is making rapid
strides in coal mining and lumber
ing, and this development will 90
on increasing year by year. Our
coal and coke add to their reputa-
ton in the markets of the country
us they como TO be better known,
and our forests are attracting more
and more attention of lumberman
as fast as they learn what we have
here worth coming for. But this is
not enough to satisfy West yir-
ginia's pride and turn to account
these raw materials. The hard
woods and the coal of West Vir-
ginia, found largely in the same
area, suggest more profitable en-
ployment for capital and industry.
A larger part of the product of
our forests should go to market in
advaaced manufactured forms. No
State affords such facilities for the
manufacturing of furniture, wag-
ons, carriages, cars, pulp, paper,
the countless implements made of
hard woods, and indeed the whole
range of wood working from do
nestle materials. 1t is in the
highest sense economic folly to
send the coal of West Virginia and
her hard woods TO remote points to
be used in the manufacture of
articles which we consume at home
and which must therefore be
brought back to us over, perhaps,
the same lines of railroad, to say
nothing of those products which
could easily find ready market in
this growing country.

The REGISTER believes the
principles of the Democratic PITY.
and is bold and fearless in the a
vocacy of the Democratic doctrine' !
because it believes the Democratic
party is more closely allied to the
people, and only by its success in
obtaining absolute power in our
country, can the people who are
now being robbed by high pro-
teetiye tariff, expect to get relief
fro oppressive burdens placed
upon them by the Republican party
and which is being made moro and
more burdensome each year.
TO support Democratic opposi-
ton to high protective tariff, we
see the farmers, who are the most
affected by it, organizing against
the tariff iniquity.
The REGISTER has always been
the advocate of the rights of labor
and has defended it in its OPP
position to the encroachments OF
the tariff protected manufacturers,
monopelists and combines.
We are opposed to the importation
of Hungarians. Poles and Italians
into this country to take the place
of American workmen.
The REGISTER will always advo-
cate that which is right, and de

The REGISTER believes that there
is a great future for Point pleasant

stantly killed John Rebli, formerly OF
Napa City, today. The shooting took
place on Sears's ranch. Sears came to
town and delivered himself up to the
officers. The cause OF the homicide is
not known. Sears had been engaged in
a bitter law suit over the possession Of
his home with his sister, Mrs. r. j.
Snyder, and had been driven to the
verge of insanity with his many troubles
in connection with the suit.
SYMPATHY FOR SEARS.
SoNoMA, CAL, Oct. 15.-Great SYM
pathy is expressed in this valley for
Perry Sears, who shot and killed John
Rebli, on Sears ranch at noon today.
The killing was done with bulldog
pistol, two shots taking effect in the
body of Rebli. The act was one clearly
of self-defense. j. P. Rogers, OF Peta-
luna, attorney for Sears, arrived in town
today and is looking out for the interest
of his client, who, aside from today's
difficulty, has been engaged in long
and bitter contest with his sister, Mrs.
R. j. Snyder, over the possession of his
farm of 800 acres. The difficulty today
is the outcome of this suit, which has
been prosecuted against Sears to the
bitter end.

SAN BERNARDINo, Oct. l5.-During the
past few months several mysterious
fires have occurred in this city, among
them being the Odd Fellows hall the D.
street school house, Times-Index Office,
besides two ward school houses. Some
six weeks ago Sheriff Seymour took the
matter in hand, personally, and finally
got on the trail of the supposed incen-
diary. He kept strict watch on his man,
which resulted in the arrest last even
ing of George Jessrang, a painter and
deputy county assessor. He is prom
met Odd Fellow and has gener-
ally been considered above reproach.
A barn of Deputy Sheriff Holcomb was
set on fire last evening. At that fire, while
Jessrang was holding hose that was
playing on the fire, he was placed under
arrest. The most peculiar and suspic-
ious thing about this case is, it is re-
ported, that Jessrang at each of the
fires has been the man to give the first
alarm. There appears, however, to be
no motive for this man to start the fires.

liquor traffic. The church should be
satisfied with nothing less than the en-
tire abolition OF the liquor traffic, but
the church should assume no political
attitude with respect to prohibition.
Christian men in their relations as citi-
zens should seek to obtain such practi-
cal legislation on the part of the state
as shall forever abolish the saloon.
Thomas Worthington of England was
not one of those who believed Christians
should keep out of politics. When there
were moro Christians in public lie it
would improve the character of Ameri-
can legislative bodies.
Rev. j. q. Simmons, of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South of Santa Rosa.
California, was the next speaker against
the liquor traffic. He seid the Metho-
dists had been firing at shadow, max
ing great rent in their own houses.
while the wolf is destroying their chill
dren.
John H. Lille, of England, held that
Wesley's rules obliged ministers to be
total abstinence men, and he insisted
on that proposition, Notwithstanding
Mr.. Atkinson, M. P, insisted that Lille
misquoted Wesley; that he prohibited
only dram drinking. Atkinson went on
to speak of the Primitive Methodists in
connection with ''imposters, which
Immediately stirred up the indignation
of the delegation from that church, they
demanding retraction and threatening
to withdraw from the conference.
Mr.. Stephenson and other Wes-
leyans were beseeching Atkinson to
withdraw his remark and apologize, but
he bluntly refused to do so, asserting
that he had nothing to apologize for; he
had not called them imposters. If they
did not consume his time he would ex-
plain. AS they persisted in the demand
for retraction, he characterized their
stupidity in forcible terms, and seeing
no chance of restoring harmony, the
presiding officer declared the session adj
journed, and the delegates passed out
after singing the doxology.

THE RUSSELL PARTY.
1t Is Not Believed They Are Lost in
Alaska.

III Is NOT B9IleVed Ihey Are Lost in
Alaska.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. I5.-Proi. David
son, OF the United States coast and geo.
detic survey, speaking this morning of
the reported loss in Alaska of survey
ing party under Lieutenant Isaac Rus
sell, said that he did not believe any
danger had befallen the party, but
thought they had returned to the coast,
perhaps too late to embark on the cut
ter Corwin before she left Bering sea.
Prof. Davidson said that Russell was
thoroughly acquainted with Alaska and
the modes of life and travel in that
country, and if he found himself cut off
from return by reason of no vessel being
at hand, he would not strike down the
coast, but would either winter among
the Indians or endeavor to make his
way ipto the Chilcat country.
Before leaving here Russell told Prof.
Davidson that he would take only men
who could be relied upon to withstand
the hardships of exploration, and only
those necessary to perform scientific
work. He would depend on miners and
Indians for other assistance. Only one
man joined the party from here, he be-
ing Frank Gillette Warner. of Hartford,
Conn, an expert who joined the expedi-
ton on recommendation of Prof. David
son. The latter believed that Lieuten-
ant Russell selected the remainder of
his party in Seattle, and that they were
conveyed to their destination on the up
cruise of the Corwin. The exploration
of Mount St. Elias was not so much the
object of the expedition as geological
research throughout that section.
