After the public has learned from the
sugar lesson that the tariff is tax paid
by the consumer, it may occur 10 II
that IL will adjust that tax so as To make
it as light as possible. Almost the en-
tire sugar tax went to the Government.
IL was tax for public uses. That Is
why Mr.. cKinley, legislating against
the public and in favor OF private in
terests, threw it Overpoard. On the
same principle he changed the.tinplate
tax so that instead of yielding the Gov
ernment S5,000,000 and private parties
nothing, it should yield the Govern
meut nothing and priva,e parties Sl0,-

on glass, aud clothing and hundred
other things, which are divided be-
tween Government andAmerican man
ufacturerers. The latter getting the
largest part, Mr.. Mckinley arranged the
matter so that the private parties get
more. After the people have found
out that the tariff is q tax they will in

Messrs. F. W. Brown and r. A.
Alexander, of Charlestown, who are
in the city in the interest of Charles
towns Development Co., give encour-
aging accounts of the progress of the
enterprise. The original company
organized to promote the Industrial
development of Charlestown, offered
$3.50, 900 Of its stock. This amount
was taken and as much more could
have been sold. The effort to locate
manufactures has been equally graf

cecded in attracting to Charlestown a
brass works from New Jersey that
will employ $50 hands. The build
ing for the concern is under construc-

that will employ 200 hands, and a
glove factory that will employ thirty
hands have also been located. A
Pennsylvania iron concern which now
employs 100 hands will locate in
Charlestown if they can come to terms
with the company. A structural iron
works are also in view.
Encouraged by this success the
gentlemen interested in the Develop
ment Company have Joined with
others in Washington and have or
ganizcd the Charlestown and Wash
ington City Improvement Company,
the object of which is TO convert into
villa sites 100 acres of land unsur-
passed for the purpose. All the stock
that was offered TO Wheeling has been
taken. The lots will be sold some
time in the spring. Charlestown has
sixteen passenger trains daily on the

have been connected by a belt line

Resignation Of R. a. Alexander.


We append below the resignation
of Mr.. r. A. Alexander as one OF
the Assessors of this county. his per-
sonal business duties having become
so onerous as to impel him to this
step. Mr.. Alexander has not only
been faithful and efficient officer,
but is in all probability the best
known and most popular man in JEFF
ferson county. He is also hustler
in politics, and whilst We regret to
have him give up the Assessorship. we
are consoled by the fact that we may
still have "Dick" to stand by us in
political campaigns, striking tren-
chant blows for the grand old Demo
cratic party and for the peoples in
terest all the time:

The assertion has been made by
Republicans that business interests
should not be made subservient to
purely political party measures, and
that hence State Legislatures should
not refuse to make appropriations to

ests" there is probably nothing that
would more nearly affect them in the
