THE LEGISLATURE.

The people of West Virginia expect
aud they have right to expect-a
great deal from the Legislature now
i'm session at Charleston. 1t has been
a long time since the Legislature has
had chance to hold a purely bust
ness session. The stormy scenes
when Mr.. Camden was defeated for
Senator and when Mr. Kenna passed
successfully through similar strug-
gle, and the bitter partisan contest
over the governorship, when the
Legislature was so evenly divided po-
litically. prevented fair chance at
real legislation. This session, howev-
er. there are no political contests on
hand and no partisan schemes to be
carried out by either side. The Dem
ocrats have a sufficient majority to
transact business even il the Republi-
can side should seek to be obstructive,
though there is no probability OF any
such trouble. The people will, OF
course, hold the Democrats RESPONSE
BILE for the legislation that is accom-
plished, and they will hold them re-
sponsible for dereliction OF duty IL
there is a failure to perform the work
set before them.
There are many important matters
to be brought before the Legislature
some Of which are very essential to
the progress and welfare Of our peo-
ple. We want the Demccrats-and
the Republicans, too-to buckle right
down to work in the beginning and
give their best efforts to the matters
presented for consideration. Let pol
tiles be kept in the background this
session. Let partisanship be kept
out OF sight. A session devoted pure
" to business will be a grateful
change to the people and it ought to
be a pleasant novelty TO the mem
bers of the Legislature.
Let all hands settle down 10 work
get through with the business and re
turn home with clear conscience
and the communication of constltu-
ents at the end of the forty-tive days.

Excursion to the National Capital.

On Thursday, January 22nd. the b.
& .. K. K. Co. will run one OF those
pleasant IL id-winter excursions to
Washington, which were so popular
a year ago. The time for the excur-
sion is we'll chosen. as the National
Capital at this season is at the height
of its political aud social glory. Both
houses of Congress are in session dali
ly with the galleries always open to
visitors. Then, too, there are the
monuments. the statues, the palatial
public buildings, and the beautiful
public squares and avenues, always
interesting sights. The White House,
the Smithsonian Institute, the Ma
tional Museum, the Corcoran Art Gal
lery, the Botanical Gardens and Wash
ington's Monument are open to all
visitors. Such an opportunity for q
visit to the City OF Magnificent Dis
tances is rarely presented as this.
The tickets will be good ten days,
allowing ample time for visiting Alex
andria, Mt. Vernon, Richmond, Old
Point Comfort and points of interest
within easy reach OF Washington.

AS intimatsd in these columns
some weeks ago, the present Indian
campaign has not only been wretch
eddy mismanaged, but the United
States soldiers and the administration
have been guilty of what seem to be
criminal me, hods in their dealings
with the Indians. There have been
two chickering's already-the first
when Sitting Bull and his son were
ruthlessly murdered while they were
being carried away unresisting cap
tives by the troops, and the second
when battle" was fought between
the soldiers and village OF terrified
and panic-stricken men, women and
children. This last battle" is full OF
sickening horror. SiIty-three Indian
women, killed by the soldiers Of this
civilized government, lie frozen under
a winding sheet OF snow. many OF
them mothers with the bodies of their
little bates clasped closely TO their
pulseless breasts. 1t was not a bat
tle-it was q massacre, and for once
at least the atrocities were not com
mittsd by the savages. For months
this Indian war" has dragged along,
and the government has exhibited
degree of feebleness and ineficiensy
most diycreditable to one of the
great nations Of the world. Prompt
and energetic action at the beginning
of the difficulty would have saved
much trouble and many lives and re-
ie~ed. us from the stigma OF civil

In a private letter to friend in

found its way into print, Senator
Kenna pays this glowing tribute to
E1-President Cleveland: If Grover
Cleveland were heard of no more, il
he had departed this life on the day
when he retired from the old white
mansion, would say what l now say
in the full vigor of his robust, honest
manhood, that his administration did
more, by the simplicity and reality OF
its democracy, to quicken political
conscience and restore the legitima 4
methods OF popular government than
all other agents of our day and sener-
alton combined. All this was due not
to the Republicans whom he kept III
Office, but to the Democrsts-true aud
honest Demoorats-whoa administered
the affairs OF the country to their
honor and its own"

products of agriculture.
P. III. Kelly-There never was time
when it was more necessary to do some
thing to develop the state of Minnesota.
While am in favor of rigid economy,
am heartily in favor of state appro-
|. priation to make grand display at the
worlds fair, so that we can bring peo-
pie here to cultivate the thousands of
acres now vacant. It will be a great
chance, and one that will not present
|Titself again for many years.
1 Ell. Hodgson-Y Yes, am strongly in
favor of an appropriation to make dis
play OF the wealth of the state at the
worlds fair. In conjunction with it a
board of emigration should be founded,
so that people who visit the great ex-
hlbitiOn can receive full information as
to the resources of the state.

there school house, costing $4,000,
only having eight pupils attending it? !.
Supt. Gilbert said there was school
building near the fair grounds which
cost $50, 600, at which the attendance
was twenty. This was exclusive of the
site.
Gen. Sanborn-Twenty is as bad as
eight.
Supt. Gilbert-It is an eight-room
building. built some two or three years
ago. 1t was built owing to pressure OF
people out there who had land, and
claimed that the district was gong to
be heavily settled. Only one room is
occupied.
Mr. Dean is that the case with any
other building?
Supf. Gilbert-No, sir.
Mr. Dean-Nothing like it?
Supt. Gilbert-Nothing like it. There
isa school building at Hazel Park, four
rooms. where one is only used.
Mr.. Dean-What did it cost?
W. l.. Ames-It cost $4,000.
1t was said that the school board
would not want any more new school
buildings for two years.
w. Rodger is opposed to reducing the
board OF education to five members; he
believes in a representative from. each
ward, being confident that the board
could be economically governed in that
way. Mr.. Rodger also has scheme for
reducing the cost OF managing the
schools. This was: Let part of the
younger children go to school in the
morning: the other children in the
afternoon. The same set of teachers
could do the work. Three hours day
tuition was sufficient for young chill
dren.
Chairman Dean-That matter would
better come first before the school board
rather than this delegation.
Mr.. Rodger said he would bring it be-
fore the board at the next meeting.
The propriety of the city council rec
ommending the reduction of the school
board to five members was raised by X.
n. Walsh, but Mr. Dean said it was a
matter which the delegation need not
discuss.
Mr.. Lienau-The school board can re-
taliate if they like.

This seems to be the
Linen Season. Linen sales
everywhere.
It's a good thing for the
buying public. and a good
thing for us. It's good for
us because a thorough and
critical examination of the
different stocks and COM
parison of prices will
dempnstrate-
That our stock of Linens
is nearly as large as all
the other stocks in the city
combined.
I'd. That our stock con-
sists of pure linens only,
even in the cheapest grades
offered. No mixtures of
,jute, cotton or other in
| feriOr fibers.
Sd. That our prices are
absolutely and positively
the lowest.
It's easy to tell why our
prices are the lowest. Our
Linens come to us direct
from the makers in foreign
lands. There's only one
step between the makers
in Ireland, Scotland and
Germany and our custom
ers. No commission man
and jobber to take part of
the profit. The profit is
divided between our GUS
toners and ourselves, but
during this special Linen
Sale, our customers get the
lions share Of it.
Our out-of-t0Wn patrons
are advised to take advan-
tage Of this sale. Goods
not satisfactory on receipt
may be returned at our ex-
pense.
