The Legislature should not long delay
the consideration Of the proposed ballot
law. and yet great care should be taken
to have It as near perfect as possible in
all It's parta. The measure known as the
Wilson bill, which failed at the last ses'
sion, was opposed by many on account
Of the cumbersome machinery 1T pro-
yided and the enormous expense the
State would be taxed With to put 1t in
operation. These objections can be
easIly overcome. We hope that every
feature Of the bill now proposed will be
scanned closely With a view to simpi'
fyipg i!s provisions and lesseping the ex'
pense Of It's operation, without injurinE
its excellence as q reform measure.
The Australian system" Of voting iH
already in operation in several States
and is found to work satisfactorily.
Though known by the one name, the
laws differ in important features In the
various States. The best features OF all
should be considered in framing a Law
for West Virginia.

Athens Herald,
The general road law Of Ohio is the
most signal aud far.reaching failure now
upon It's statute books. 1t is not the
raising Of more money that is needed so
much rs a more judicious expenditure
Of what is raised, although the best re-
suits would probably DO obtained by
increasing the levy for the first few
years. In Athena county, for example,
there is supposed to be raised for road
purposes $4,000 a year. The most OF
that Is paid In labor, and It Is safe to say
that one.thitd Of the amount Is lost by
improper representation OF time actually

WHEELING, JANUARY p. l89l.


TIE election in this city yesterday
was fruitful Of many surprises, and 1t is
hard to place the responsibility for the
result on hasty analysis Of the returns
The issue was clearly drawn in the
campaign between those who desired
reform in the city government and the
worst element Of the community,
which dictated the Democratic NOM
nations for Mayor and Chief
Of Police. The lines were sharp
" defined between the good
and the bad and party lines were wiped
out. The Republican candidates were
men pledged to enforce the laws against
gambling, Sunday saloons, policy shops
and all that was evil in the city. The
Democratic candidates were men whose
administration has been notable for its
strict disregard for official oaths and the
freedom with which all forms Of law
breaking have held sway. To the shame
Of Wheeling the latter won. But it was
not aitogsthsf the fault OF the best ele'
ment Of the Democracy.
The surprising ia is that many good
n ople of both parties voted for the
D moeratic candidates. In doing &c
they assisted the gamblers and other
vIoIators Of the law to score the triumph
which they celebrsted last night.
The situation the people Of Wheeling
are confronted with to-day is that they
NAV have two years more Of open viola
ton OF law. The closing administration
Of the men who have been reelected has
been notable for this: Houses have been
loo,ed, inoGsnslvo men have been
knocked down and robbed, others have
been thrown into the creek, saloons
have run wide open on Sunday, gamb'
ling has been rampant, policy is played
openly and above board, all kinds OF Or
binary oGenses have been winked at,
prostitutes walk the streets day and
night, men have disappeared mysterious
", and the criminal and tough element
has had full sway. This is the record.
We hope 1t may not be 80 bad in
the future, but it is only hope.

The table shows difference in favor
Of the home market Of 8, 57S, l24 pounds
and value Of S2,elS,S45. This fact is
all the more significant when it is borne
in mind that the figures for 1890 are for
the first two months Of the operation OF
the Mckinley bill.
In comment upon the above state.
meut the New York Press observes that
from 1887 to 1880 there was a constant
falling oil in the exports of leaf tobacco
and corresponding increase in the i'm.
ports. This, says the Pres, was due
mainly to the competition Of the sumatra
wrapper, which was rapidly taking the
place Of the Connecticut seed leaf and
was on the point Of compelling many
tobacco growers in this country to aban
don their business. Surely the Con
necticut farmers appreciate the splendid
results Of this legislation. In face OF
this will Connecticut be found in line
with free trade states in 1892

The following letter was read before
the Society Of the First West Virginia
Vol. Init. at East Liverpool, o: Only
80 much Of the letter ID published as re-
lates to the regiment whose history Is
given: ,.n.a.
ment is remarkable; no regiment ever
took the field in any war in the condi
zion that the First Va. Regiment wen
forth, It had neither tents, blankets,
clothing, knapsacks, cartridge boxes,
canteens, nor commissary stores, 1t was
deficient in everything to make the reg
iment comfortable or efficient in u,
field. We had no lieutenant, colonel
major, adjutant, quartermaster or com.
missafy. The only staff officer | had
was the surgeon, who was Dr.. Thoburn
who became the gallant colonel OF the
regiment in its three years organization
and who gave his life that the country
might live.
iournalsare making great ado a6oa'
The amount that the country Is paying
TO the veterans for pensione, alleging
that they will bankrupt the treasury Of
the United States; that the soldiers ID
the Union army were set OF nercen'
aries and bounty Jumpers, and that they
enlisted in the army, not from patriotic
motives, but simply for the pay and
bounty. Right here l wish to state a
fact: There were in my regiment some
200 Young men from the rolling mills,
nail factories, glass houses and other
manufacturing establishments OF Wheel
ing, who received from three TO FIVE dol
lars day for their services, left their
lucrative positions and enlisted in the
service OF their country at thirteen dol
lars per month. This was before bounty
was thought OF or offered. When the
order was given for the regiment to
move on Grafton on the morning Of
May 81, 1851, not a soldier faltered and
not one was missing at roll call out Of a
regiment Of thousand strong.
The regiment had no equipments ex'
cept its arms, carrying their ammunition
In their pockets. In this condition they
fought their first action and WOE the first
victory OF the rebellion at Philippi on
June 5, 1861. The. effect Of this early
movement on the destfufes of Western
Virginia Is beyond estimate. It expelled
the rebels from that portion Of the Stats
and all the efforts of the rebel authorities
afterward to subdue Western Virginia
were defeated. It was also the means
Of putting 10000 loyal troops in the
Union army from that portion OF TIT
State west OF the Allegheny mountains
and added another star to the flag tina,
we all 80 dearly love.
This may be probably the last time
that l shall have theopp1rtunity to com
nunicate with the comrades. | there
fore bid them an atTectionate farewell
Very truly yours, BE-. KELLEY.

One Of the most important measures
now before the Legislature is the bill Of
Senator Davis, Of Grafton, to institute a
reform in the matter Of assessing lands
"a reform for which the demand is
daily increasing. The object Of the bill,
briefly explained, is TO place agricultural
lands on an equal footing with mineral
and timber lands with reference to their
assessed or market valuation.
The value Of mineral and timber lands
in West Virginia is constantly increas-
ing, while purely agricultural lands have
decreased.
Large tracts Of mineral lands are held
by foreign capitalists and are yearly
assessed at very low rate because they
are uncpltivated, yet the owners hold
hem at a high market value. Agricul-
tural lands adjoining these tracts, and
which are under cultivation, are assessed
at their real value, and the farmer is
.bliged to pay q high rate OF taxation on
them, This Is clearly discrimination
in favor of the foreign Spectator and is
nanitestly unjust to the citizen. SenA
TOR Davis proposes to correct the In
equality.
We have not seen the bill and do not
know all Of Its features, but the question
is one Of great importance and will no
doubt receive due consideration. In
framing such Law, care should be taken
to do entire justice, not only to the cap.
italist who is investing his money in the
State, but to the farmer as we'll. No
measure should contain features that
might retard capital from making legiti-
mate and desirable Investments.

Major McKinley's declaration that the
Republicans Of the House do not intend
tosurrender the maiority's constitutional
right to rule, has the true ring about 1t,
aud will be applauded by every Repub.
lican who holds dear this fundamental
principle OF free government. The at
tempt Of The Democratic minority to do
by force what they cannot do by law Ia
revolutionary in the extreme. Their
false clamor about the Election bill be
ipg a blow at the liberties OF the people
is the verlest bosh, andis raised to create
a popular prejudice Ogainst a measure
which hes for its only object the protec.
ton Of the people in tho enjoyment oil
their most sacred rights.
The Democrats in Congress are deter
mined to hold the South solid by the
methods that have prevailed there fol-
the past twenty years, aud that deter
mination is back of the desperate and
unreasonable opposition to the Election
bill. The people OF the country art
learning more every day as they witness

real significance of the Democratic posi-:
