fellow WAS innocent, as he claims,
for be could have very easily escaped
with his pal, but prefers TO stay and
stand his trial. He claims TO live
in Western New York, and says he
was down in New Mexico working
in the timber regions and had
saved up some money and started
home, but the la grippe got grip
on him and laid him up long
enough to wipe out most Of his
money with board and doctor bills
before he could travel, and then he
started to walk the rest of the way.
Fell in with this other fellow and
got into trouble. winans has y
gold watch and some good clothes,
and the story seems problblo, and
refusing to escape when he had such
q good chance strengthens his case.
He says he can get oil the help he
wants by applying to his people, but
that they are well-to-do and respec-
table, and he does not want them to
know Of his misfortune.

The idea OF our Legislature
monkeying around all winter trying
to change the school books and
assess the people with needless ex-
pense is absurd and it is not ex-
pected that the legislative body
could examine into the merits of all
the various text books submitted
aud decide on the best. The only
way to settle the mater is to APP
point committee of men qualified
to judge and to act in conjunction
with the State superintendent and
let this committee arrange the whole
matter and contract for the books
and make report to the Governor
and the next Legislature. Our
solons fool away enough time any
way without sitting around reading
mp on all the different school. books
published in the country.

Now that Boss Quay has made
his long looked for and long delayed
denial of the charges made against
him by the New York World, the
small fry Republican papers are
talking very big about him suing
the Hord for damages. That pa
per is worth over million dollars
and has been daring him all along
to sue for damages, promising him
it he did, to prore the charges
brought against him. Mr. Quay
was satisfied with being accused
OF stealing without having 1t pro-
ven on him and so kept discreetly
mum, till SO much pressure was
brought to bear on him by his party
leaders, that he finally was pre-
vailed upon to make q simple de-
NAL, and then slide out to Florida
on a fishing excursion for fear the
World would prove it on him and
get him in the penitentiary. What
does the World do? Does it get
scared and take it all back and
offer to compromise? Not by a
demij john full. 1t still keeps
pouring the hot shot into him and
will convince Mr.. Quay that there
is no rest for the wicked. 1t pub

How can any honest man follow

We have received the Report OF
the Directors, Supt. and officers OF
the West Va. Hospital for the In
sane for the two years ending Oct.
lst 1890. The report is very elab-
crate and complete and shows the
institution to be in very satisfac-
tory condition. 1t was printed at
Charleston by Moses w. Donnally,
Public Printer, who evidently has
no proof reader in tho Office, since
there is hardly a page, clear of ty-
biographical errors. Some of the
names Of the officers are wrong and
many mistakes that are inexcusable.
In fact it is the worst botch of the
kind We ever saw and the state is
sadly IL need Of a Public Printer.

When Sheriff jackson got up
Wednesday morning and went to
see about his Jail birds, he found
that one Of them had flown. James
Day, one of the tramps arrested and
confined for robbiEg Gene Rep
pert's house last month, had picked
the lock on his cell with wire, and
then by means Of an iron poker had
pried out the brick at the south
west corner Of tho Jail, the farther
est from the part occupied by the
family, and crawled through and
made good his escape. The wall is
ribbed with iron bars set in the
middle Of the brick wall, but he had
bent and pried these apart with his
iron poker until he had an opening
large enough for big man to
escape. This is the frat case on
record Of a Day-break in the mid
die Of the night, and surprised the
JaiIor very much to sec Daylight
out in the darkness this way, but
he started out with Deputy Sheriff
j. X. Monroe to re-capture him.
This is the one Of the prisoners
supposed to be the real culprit. lie
admitted that he took the property
and that the other one, Frank Wi

Superintendent is unnecessary, why

or any kind of business We claim
that the office Is a very important

and salary enough allowed to enable

duties Of the Office. There is no
business or institution in the coun-
try more important than our chools.
