State B,ard orHea.t,,.

cnARLEsroN, w. VA, July s.
The State Board of Health, after
thorough discussion OF the mat
ter of preventing the poIlu-
ton of the West Fork river by
sewerage from the hospital at Yves
ton, and their authority over the
directors of that institution, have
changed their tactic somewhat and
gonciat the directors in rather a
mild way by the adoption Of the
following resolutions:
Resotred, That this board rccog-
Mics and appreciates the earnest eff
forts of the Board of Directors of
the Hospital for the Insane TO pre-
vent the pollution OF the West Fork
river by sewerage from the hospital.
Resotred, That this board desires
to aid these efforts by every means
in its power and 10 this end invites
the Board of directors Of the Hos
pital TO join with this board in a
memorial to the Legislature, urg.
ing that body TO appropriass snfiici-
ent funds to effeetually accomplish
the object desired
Resotved, That the secretary of
this Board communicate this action
to the Board of Directors OF the
Hospital for the Insane.
Along with these resolutions the
following was also adopted:
Resofred, That committees of
three be appointed by the President
to ascertain and report at our next
annual meeting what action can be
takcn by this Board TO prevent the
pollution of the watersof the streams
of this State, whether by public in
stitution, private corporations, cities,
towns or individuals.
The purport of the resolution, so
carefully worded, is that the COM
mittee shall investigate from legal
standpoint and sec what authority
the Board has to compel public
institutions to observe the laws of
health. They are not quite sure as
to whether they could compel the
directors of the hospital to do their
bidding and while this is being
looked into they have refrained
from giving any instructions at the
risk of not being obeyed and have
moved with exceeding cnution.
Doctors Late, Wilson and Baker,
are the committc to look up the
boards authority.
The following resolution was
adopted:
Reso red, That the local health
officers be instructed as far as prac-
ticable to have all houses placarded
where small pox, varioloid, scarlet
fever, measles or diphtheria are
known to exist.
The resignation of ~ f. Snyder,
as n member of the Board of health
of Doddridgc county was accepted
and the county court asked for a
new nomination.
The appointment of the local
Board of Pocahontas county and of
DR.. w. II. Gillespie of Tyler county
was confirmed.

II Costs Too Much.

Wayne News.
The Republican organs are now
quoting an English paper as saying
that tin plate can be manufactured
here as we'll as in Wales, and large
exodus of Welsh tin plate makers
to America may be expected. But
this is no argument in favor of the
main question, even if it is true.
The people do not object to the
manufacture of tin plate in this
country. 1t is the increased price
they object to. If tin plate can be
manufactured here as well as in
Wales, why not lower the duty and
give the people the benefit of Welsh
prices. The main question is not
whether or not it can be made here,
for the necessary expenditure it can
be made anywhere, but what is it
going to cost? fit cannot be made
here and sold as cheaply as it can
be made somewhere else and sold
here the people would rather it
would not be made here.

The miners and other laborers,
in fields and factories in West
Virginia and other portions of the
country, says an exchange, are
getting along too we'll to please
the Republican leaders. Hence
it has been decreed that they
must yield up a portion of their
earnings to help out the poor, OPP
pressed sugar planters of Louisi-
ana, The whole system of boun-
ties to stimulate production is
radically wrong, and this first
attempt to fasten the principle
upon our people should be at once
and vigorously condemned
There are not over five thousand
people in the whole country who
depend upon the sugar industry
for maintenance; of these perhaps
80 per cent. are laborers, and will
get no portion of the benefits OF
the sugar bounty. So that the
100000 to be paid out this
year will be divided up between
a few hundred men, at the ex-
pense of the other sixty-five mil
fans of inhabitants. The system
must go. 1t is robbery.

1t is an undeniable fact that the
expenses of the entire four years
of Mr.. Cleveland's administration
barely exceeded by few thous-

1t is said that comparisons are
odious. They are sometimes very
useful, too. The average Repub-
lican will deny these facts.

The Chicago Tribune, the leading
Republican paper of the northwest,
estimates the profits of the Welch
tin plate manufacturers obtained by
reason of the addition to the usual
price they were enable to extract
from the importers under the Nc
Kinley bill, to be 100000. 1t
seems that in this case, instead OF
paying the tariff tax, the foreigner
collected it, and it is the American
consumer who is the victim. The
Tribune further characterizes the
tin plate change in the tariff as a
costly blunder." 1t might better
have said the whole tariff business
is costly fraud.

and tho said company being about
the only one of its kind in this

Company is going to establish large

screws is still very heavy, ranging
