The estccEc,l, but very partisan,
Inteitigencer is devoting much atten.
ton to re-howling the partisan
howl over what it calls Gov. Hills
theft of the New York Legislature
When the Republicans stole the
Presidency of the United States the
IntettigeRcer whooped and hurrahed
over il; when its party stole the
Gevernoship of Connecticut the In
telligencer upheld it; it said not a
word about the theft of the Cover
norship of Nebraska, because Re
publicans did il; it applaudcd the
open robbery of the Legislature of
New Hampshire; il thinks the theft
of the Legislature of Montana and
two United States Senators was all
right, because Republicans were the
thieves. Now, however, lawful
contest has been decided in New
York, involving the political com
plexion of the Legislature of that
State, in favor of the Democrats, and
up to the skies from the throat of
our severely honorable neighbor
goes the bowling of fraud
Yet there is not Il circumstance
in the whole proceeding so far as
Gov. Hill or the Democratic party
of New York are concerned that
points to fraud, or is not entirely
lawful.
The Republicans have held the
Legislature of New York by fraud
since 1885, when they refused to
make the reapportionment com.
manded by the Constitution. The
State has just been carried by the
Democrats by $4,000 majority, yet
the Republicans say the Democrats
have stolen the Legislature! 1t is
the old cry of "stop thief" the same
old familiar howl the Intelligeacer
raised over the late gubsrnatorial
contest in West Virginia, and which
was answered by greatly increased
Democratic majorities at the last
election.-Re Register.

MeKinIerisnn on Trial.

Wheeling Register. The Mckinley
tariff is on trial Tor its life. In the
Supreme Court at Washington, last
week, arguments were begun in
cases appealed from the lower courts
by importers who hold that no du-
ties can be collected under the new
law for the reason that the act is
unconstitutional. The grounds are
that the law was not enacted in the
mode provided by the constitution;
that it provides bounties to produ-
GERS of sugar, in excess of the pow
srs of Congress; and that it assumes
to confer upon the President the
authority to impose taxes on i'm
ports.
The arguments on these points
will be read with interest, although
it is too much to expect that the
whole iniquitous law will be held by
the Court to be vitiated by these
weaknesses.
AS a matter of common sense,
however-to take the single matter
of the sugar bounty-what right,
in reason or in justice, has Congress
to tax every farmer IN the land who
does not raise sugar to pay bounty
to the few who do? If this is not
unconstitutional, what form of rob-
berry by taxation is?
The reciprocity section is as bad.
Its adoption was party necessity,
acknowledged as such by Republi-
cans who yielded their scruples
against bestowal of the taxing
power upon the President in order
not to obstruct the passage of the
bill. II is incredible that the Su-
preme Court will decide that the
President can exercise the privilege
of raising or lowering customs du-
ties on certain specified articles, ac-
cording to his own sweet will, or
simply to meet party existencies.
1t is remotely possible that the
Supreme Court of the United States
may relieve the Democratic Con-
gress of the necessity for the repeal
or amendment of the Mckinley
tariff by declaring the whole act
unconstitutional.

zinc Gist o. the TariR Issue.

The raising of Government reve-
nues by tariff taxes is a favorite
method with law givers because the
tax is taken surreptitiously The
man who pays ii never knows how
much he pays. He is therefore less
concerned than he might otherwise
be to insist upon economy in Gov
ernment expenditures and to resent
expenditures and extravaganza and
waste or even fraud itself.
But the system is very bad one
to carry to excess. 1t taxes in the
wrong place and upon pernicious
principle. Taxes ought to be levied
upon wealth; tariffs tax poverty far
more than wealth.
Taxes ought TO fall mainly upon
those who can afford to pay; tariff
taxes fall mainly upon those who
can least afford to pay.
Taxes ought to be levied upon
property. Tariffs levy taxes upon
industry and consumption, thus
doubly tending to burden business,
to lessen markets, to reduce the de-
mand for mems services, to keep
wages down and to diminish the
purchasing power OF wages.
1t is the policy of the Democratic
party in the interest of the people,
to reduce tariff burdens to mini
mum to make the common necessa-
ries of life and the raw materials OF
manufacture so far as possible free,
TO give every possible encourage
ment to industry, and to reduce the
expenses of the Government to the
standard of actual need.
1t is the policy of the Republican
party to increase tariff taxes SO as to
restrain trade, to encourage the bus
mess of the rich at the expense OF
the poor, to make tho necessaries of
lite dear, and to collect vast sums
from the people which may be
squandcred in ways calculated to
purchase support for the party
spending them.
The question for every man to
answer in next years Presidential
election IS: Which of those policies
do you prefer2-N. Y. World.

Senator sherman's declination to

Died, on the 10th inst, LILLE J ),
wife of SAM el Mcneil and daugh-
ter of w. J. Keister, aged % years
and u days. Since we must say
she has gone from among MS, we
wish to speak of her rs young
woman of promise, ono with pure
morals, with as good and pure a
heart as ever was born.
She was born in Cabell county
and grew to womanhood among the
mountains of West Virginia. She
was one of the number that had no
enemies. She was handsome, gentle
and polite to every one, without
vanity or presumption. Consump-
ton took hold on her and she was
a constant sufferer for more than a
year. We visited her often during
her sickness, and never heard her
murmur or complain. Though kind
friends and the ablest physicians of
Cincinnati and Point Pleasant did
all they could in their power, they
could not stay the march of the fell
destroyer. She must go to some
better work up higher. She was
model member of the NJ. E. Church,
South. Her funeral was preached
by her pastor, Rev. H. Smith, to a
large concourse of friends.
She leaves husband, two little
girls, Bessie and Ennie, and a host
of near and dear relatives who are
bowed with grief over the untimely
death of one SO young and vigorous
and to whom life seemed so. hopeful,
but we all know we shall fade as Il
leaf, and as the leaves of autumn
are fading and falling around US,
we shall lay our young friend to
rest to sleep until the final day when
the earth shall give up its dead.
Tired hands at last they rest,
Folded gently on her breast;
Hands so full ofloving deeds,
Ministering to others needs.
Willing feet, no more they go,
Speeding quickly TO and fro;
Swift TO do the Masters Will,
Since He bids them now be sfill;
silent tongue, no more we hear,
From II words of loving cheer;
Words of balm to soothe our pain,
1t can never speak again.
Soul-lit eyes, at last they close,
Calmly, as,for sweet repose;
Never more to fill with tears,
Now TO them the King appears.
Loving heart, SO strong and true,
Obi how oft wen yearn for you;
When the world scemsidarh and cold,
And we think of days OF old,
These the thoughts that make us warm,
Gazing ON the empty urn;
Knowing tits but mouidering clay,
For the soul has passed AWAY
Sonl which Jesus died TO save,
Safe to-dayzwith him who gave,
And the voice which checrcd our days,
Now is tuned TO endless praise.
Husband, relatives dry Your weeping eyes
Soon you'll meet her beyond the skies,
She whom we loved, and wen join in song
With the glorious whife-robed throng;
And tho the parting grleves us.s sore,
She has only gone before,
For her loved ones she VIII wait
Close beside the golden gate

COLUMBUS, December 6.-Gover-
nor Campbell is slightly better this
evening and DIR. Loring still insists
that it is nothing more serious than
an aggravated case of grippe. The
friends of the Governor are appre-
hensive however. One of them said
this evening that the Governor has
never fully recovered from the i'll
ness which kept him from the stump
several weeks in the beginning OF
his campaign and in his condition
of debility the grippe might lead
into something more serious.

himself coming in last and lowest
onthe ticket. Even the next lowest
man on the ticket ran 5000 votes
ahead of the "vindieated" Napoleon
of high protection. Republicans
lose sight of this slight falling of
and would let tho impression re-
main with the uniform that the
author ofthe Mckinley bill really
lead his ticket, but the returns
show that there were 5000 think

believe that their taxes are paid by
