1t will be remembered that a com
pany of rich men leased the seal
fisheries in Alaska from the Govern
ment. Later, to prevent the extinc-
tion of the seal an agreement was
made with the English Government
that subjects Of neither Government
should catch seals for specified
time. Mr. Elkins has, as the agent
of the company in which he is large
stakeholder, filed notice with the
Treasury department Of its intention
to claim 100000 for being proven
ted from taking the stipulated num-
Der of seals during the season of
1891, $l50,000 for it's expenditures
on the seal islands, and an indefinite
amount for the present season.

Now For a New Post once.

1t is the policy of Uncle Sam. to
furnish the post office building at all
points where the salary of the Post
Master reaches fifteen hundred dol
lars.
1t is reported from Washington
that the salary of our esteemed
post Master, Mr.. Davis, has been
raised to the figures which entitle
Morgantown to fifteen thousand
dollar building.
And we want it.
We want it bad.
We want it very quick,
We want the prettiest design; the
most modern arrangement; and,
altogether the most complete post
office building in the State of West
Virginia or any other State.
The Athens will not tolerate com
mon place. We are not troubled
with modesty. We know what we
want and are not ashamed to ask
for it.
Uncle Sam. can now send on his
agent, and we will sell him first
class site at first-c class price and
ask in return only first class build
ing.
AS to the location there will be no
special difficulty. The one consider
ton is to have it as central as pos
sible-to meet the convenience of the
greatest number of people. The
present site is very good one. 1t
meets the wants of the business por-
ton of the town, as well as marking
about the center of population, and
being the nearest practicable point
to the depot. Uncle Sam. will only
demand that this latter consideration
be observed in the selection. We
presume that the ground on which
the present Office stands could be
purchased and as much additional
as necessary. On the corner occu-
pied by Mr.. Donley, or the lot occu-
pied by the bank stable, or the va
cant lot on the north side of the
bank.
There will be no difficulty in find
ing suitable site anywhere in the
neighborhood of the present office,
aud Uncle Sam, is supposed to have
enough money in his vaults to pay
for it, provided the lot holders don't
get excited. He can send along his
agent any day, and we will be ready
to dicker with him.

The fiscal year ends today and
the country is waiting with great
deal of expectation for the usual
treasury report. But it is doubtful
whether we get the truth when the
report is published as they have SO
many new methods of book keeping
there, which were invented to deceive.
One item we are sure will be missing
and that is "unexpended balances

There is much regret for Mr.. Har-
rison in some quarters. His pension
department has been one continuous
scandal since the day he signed the
commission of Corporal Tanner The
Indian department developed unex-
pected trouble, and now comes the
Postmaster General, the acknowl-
edged partner in speculation of the
biggest public thief ever known in
Philadelphia with the solitary ex-
ception of Honest John Bardsley.
But worse, the solemn oath of the
Postmaster General has been dispu-
ted and disproved by documents
bearing his own signature. Verify,
the time has arrived when Harrison
can pray for dcliverance from his
friends. - Paykers6ura Sentinel.

Reports are current of new weed
springing up in the Western states
which is choking out the wheat.
Farmers have great deal to con-
tend with, hut the worst weed in the
box is the tariff weed, which not only
threatens to choke out the farmer s
wheat, but to do the same for the
farmer himself. The remedy is to
sprinkle this weed literally with
Democratic votes which will imme-
diately cause it to wilt and lose it's
injurious qualities. Try it.-Par-
keySburg Journal.
The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1891-07-04

Dear farmers, you who have wool
to sell, lend us your ears. We come
telling you the truth, and not lies
You were told to vote for protection
to wool. Well, you got protection
to wool, and from two to four cents
less for it after the protectionists
got through with you. But do not
worry, dear friends, about this fail
ing off in price as the tariff goes up.
1t is all right. The higher the tariff
the lower the price, as, for instance,
wages, tin plate and sugar, not to
mention good many things in the
way Of hardware, household goods,
etc. Besides, when your wool is all
sold to the dealers it will bounce up
high enough you may be sure. This
will not benefit you directly, but as
it will, of course, raise the wages of
the men employed by the wool buy
ers, it naturally follows as matter
of common sense that you will have
market made for your garden sass
and wheat and fruit thereby, and you
get in paying a good round protected
monopoly price for wool goods and
clothing for your family. Oh! it
just works like a lambs tail
in fly time, or just like paying
taxes for Kanawha bridges
that is the higher the taxes the less
bridge. The farmer has been, is and
always will be MIXED by the pro-
tccted monopolists so long as he con-
tinues to believe in the mysterious
and awful benefits of protection which
somehow or other seem to be max
ing everybody rich except those who
have to work for living. The tariff
skins the farmer coming and going,
and he really seems to enjoy the op-
Grafton. After he is skinned entire
ly they will probably ask him to
vote tariff on his own hide

The next House of Representatives
which will be so overwhelmingly
Democratic, will have plenty of work
on its hands. So far as enacting leg
islation of Importance is concerned,
practically nothing can be accom-
plished, as the Senate's Republican
majority will be likely to oppose
most Of the laws originating in the
House. But the House will have a
clear field for work peculiarly it's
own, and which is important from a
political standpoint and necessary to
good government. We refer to the
numerous committees of investiga-
tion that will be appointed to ferret
out the crookedness existing in al
most every department of the gov
eminent
The Pension Bureau will be among
the first to receive attention. 1t will
be remembered that last year a com
mittee was appointed to Investigate
Commissioner Ranm and his admin
istration of that Office, but being of
Republican complexion, of course
the whitewash was plentifully APP
piled. The investigators appointed
by Democratic House will not con-
ceal the frauds nor suppress incrimi-
mating evidence. The whole ground
will probably be gone over again, and
in addition the recent performance
of young Raum and his colleagues
will be thoroughly ventilated. The
whole pension business will be thor
oughly overhauled, and strong efforts
will be made to improve the I'M
healthy state of affairs.
Then light will be turned ON the
Census Office and it's commissioner.
The inefiiciency of Mr.. Porter and
the inaccuracy of his statistics, the
perversion of his figures for political
purposes and the extravaganza of his
management, will be fit subjects for
investigation, and notifying as the
result will doubtless be, it is believ-
ed by many that the tenth census
will be shown to be utterly worthless
and unreliable.
The Treasury Department will
also be probed in several directions.
The recent bank failures in Phila-
delphia, by which so many persons
were ruined, is partly due to the mis-
management and stupidity of Comp
troller Lacey and Examiner Drew,
and the Treasury methods must be
overhauled. The seal company, in
which Mr.. Steve Elkins and other
prominent Republicans are so deeply
interested. must likewise have its
affairs inquired into.
Postmaster General Wanamaker
has tried hard to wriggle out of his
connection with the broken Phila-
delphia banks, but his explanations
are far from satisfactory and he will
probably have to explain further be-
fore Congressional committee.
And so the list is growing There
are already enough cases to keep
Congress busy. There will probably
be more by the time the session be
gins.-Shepherdstown Register.

Expensive Talk.

A. W. Cans and William Gonoe,
tae former hotel keeper and the
latter a farmer at Morris Cross
Roads, quarrelled few days ago
about debt the former owed the
latter. Canoe claimed that Cans
owed him so cents while Cans CON
tended that he only owed As cents.
They wrangled until words grew
hot, and Canoe cursed Cans vigor-
ously. The latter kept tally of the
number of oaths Canoe used, and
then went before Justice Cagey and
made information against his cal
UNI niator for swearing. The Justice
fin ed Canoe the specified sum for
each oath, the fines aggregating
$1,000 which Canoe paid. The cent
claim is still unsettled.-ConaeUs-
