Ther Deceire Yon.

Don't you believe a Republican
when he says the Force Bill is not
an issue in this campaign. They
would gladly get rid of this mons
ter if they could. But it is a ghost
that will not down at their bidding.
The apparition appears in all its
h~ideousness before the eyes of eve
ry Republican editor and every Re-
publican speaker to haunt them, and
it excites ones sympathy to witness
their efforts to shake off their tor
mentor. Atkinson IL his speech
here, some time ago, said that he
did not know what the force bill
was, and SO did Grosyenor, but both
of these gentlemen were members
of the Reed Congress and voted for
the passage of this very force bill.
And so will Charles 7. Caldwell,
Caldwell do so, if elected to Cong
ress, notwithstanding he pledges
himself not to do SO. Don't you
believe him, for he is only deceiv-
ing you. He can be relied upon to
do any dirty work that his party
may demand of him.

Your Taxes.

Taxes whether laid upon proper

ment, or Indirectly under the guise
of "protection to labor is burden
some to the people. The Demo-
Gratis favor the lowest possible tax
es to support our local county af-
fairs, : economically administered;
and for the support of the general
government they demand a tariff for
revenue, sufficient to meet the needs
of the government, and no more.
Money collected in excess of these
demands, is a robbery of the people.
If you want TO continue this state
of affairs in Mason county, and in
the Nation, vote the Republican tick
etfor county offices and for Congress
man and President, and you will
get just what you want. If you
believe, however, in low taxes, and
are opposed to the robber tariff,
vote the Democratic ticket from
President down.

No Trouble About n.

There will be no trouble with the
new election law. 1t will certainly
give the voter a chance to cast just
such a ballot as he desires without
any one to hinder or modest him.
He gets his ballot from a clerk and
has five minutes to fix it in the
booth. If he does not understand
the ballot the poll clerks will in
struct him. If he desires to scratch
his ticket and can't write the clerks
will do it for him, just as he desires
it to be done. There is nothing
difficult about it, and no voter should
be deferred from voting on that
account.

very precarious condition. She is grad

impossible to check the progress of the
disease. One lung is now completely
useless and the other one is involved TO
quite an extent so that it renders the
case very critical. So far as can be
seen. however, there is no immediate
danger of a fatal termination.
There is liable to be at any time an
effusion of fluid in the cavity of the
pleura. This has already taken place
once, and is liable to recur. The condi-
ton of the patient huctuates from day

Snyder fills these trenches with crude

Two years ago Mr.. Capehart tied
Charley Smith in this county on
the vote for Congressman. This
year let us give Mr.. Capehart 500
majority in Mason county. The
pride of the voter in his county
should give Mr.. Capehart a very
large complimentary vote from the
Republicans. And as he is a farm
or, every farmer who believes that he
is oppressed by the unjust tariff,
should vote for him and help to re-
turf him to Congress by an in.

Driving the White Vote AWAY.

Because the Republican managers
have imported a large number of
negroes into West Virginia, it does
not necessarily follow that they will
carry the State. The very fact that
Republicans brought in this negro
labor to take the work from white
laborers will cause hundreds of
white laborers who have been Re-
publicans, to vote the Democratic
ticket. A great many of these me-
gro voters will be set off by the de-
sertion of white Republicans, espe-
cially in the communities where the
negroes are located. Not only will
the white laborers turn from the
Republican party for bringing in
this negro population, but hundreds
of other classes will also rebuke the
Republican party for bringing the
negroes in. While many Republi-
cans would like to have the benefit
of the negro vote, there are but few
that want the blacks and their
families located among them. They
very much prefer that they settle
down in some other locality of the
State.

Excites the Admiration or the World.

Excites the Admiration of the World.
Under a quarter of a century of
Democratic dominance in State af
fairs West Virginia has advanced
so rapidly in industrial develop
ment that she has excited the adj
miration of the commercial world,
and drawn within her borders mil
lions upon millions of money for
legitimate investment and profit.
And now these blatant h~ypocrites,
representing a party whose only
object is to get a chance at the
spoils of office, go ranting up and
down the State, charging misman-
agement and extravaganza against
the party in power. Are the people
to be hoodwinked by such decep-
ton? Not muchly. They are too
patriotic, and the moral law of
equity and justice is too deeply i'm
planted in the hearts of all true
West Virginians to permit any such
deception to s-ucceed.-Huntington

we have not seen Governor Nc
Kinley's speech in Washington, but
it is not to be presumed he main
tanned his most conspicuous absurdi-
ty that the foreigner pays the GUS
tom tax. The governor believes, ut
least be asserts, the does
not pay the tax, but gets in a bog
at once then he claims the reduction
in the sugar tax has saved the
American people $50, 900, 900 a year.
1t undoubtedly has, as under the
profigacy of a Republican congress
and administration the revenues do
not reach the Republican cxpendi-
lures the people have TO make up
the SCI, DOC, 900 repealed sugar tax
by some other form of taxation, or
cheat the sinking fund, as Secretary
Foster is doing.
But we have an authority on who
pays the tax that seems to knock
Mckinley end-ways. This is no
less a person than Attorney General
Miller. the law officer of the Harri-
SON administration. Not long ago
the attorney general addressed to
the secretary of the treasury an
elaborate opinion relating to the
liquidation of customs duties and
the return to importers of the duties
levied in excess of the legal rate.
There are many such cases growing
out of suits in which the courts de-
cided the duties collected are excess
sive. Speaking of the controversies
thus arising the law officer of the
administration declared:
The contest between these impor-
tiers and the government is a very
unequal one. Before it begins they
have received their goods and sold
them with the duties and liquidated
included in the price, and they ire,
OF course, content to wait indefinite
~ for a possible refund of duties in
which they really no longer have an
interest, because the consumer has
already paid for them. This hoped
for refund, if realized, is as expert
ence indicates, sometimes literally
divided with third parties, who may
be said with truth to be more inter.
ested in the contest with the govern
ment than the importers themselves
who must often be at a loss to un-
derstand on what ground they are
entitled to a recovery from the gov
ernment. But the real party in in
terest in such cases, the taxed con-
sumers, the remedy of the law un-
fortunately does not, and perhaps
could not practically reach.
We would like to hear Governor
Mckinley respond to this sensible
exposition by the attorney general.

ne nave Tried to do Our Duty.
All along in this campaign we
have tried to do our duty to our
party and its nominees, and will
continue to do SO until the campaign
closes. But when we do the best
we know how, with no one to assist
us IN editorial work, with not oven
one candidate on the Democratic
ticket calling at our office since his
nomination, to consult with us, or in
other words being completely igno-
red by every one of them, whether
neglectfully or purposely, we can't
say, nor do we care, as we can stand
to be ignored. But we very much
dislike to have it como to our ears
that our course is being criticised
because we happen to say things
that may offend some over fastidious
Republican. Democrats ought to
know by this time that there is no
deceit about the REGISTER, and that
it is not catering to Republicans
We try to give the truth, and if we
can change a Republican, we are
glad of u work. We can't afford.
o can the party permit this truck
ling to Republicans, to get a vote
here and there for some particular
candidate. To do so is to sacrifice
our ticket to help one or two men.
The whole ticket or none, is what
we are battling for, and all good
Democrats will fight it out on the
same line. The REGISTER is a
straight out, loyal Democratic pa
per, that will speak the truth, no
matter if it does offend Republicans.
Pure and unauthorized Democracy
is what the REGISTER breaches, and
that should satisfy Democrats
Personal abuse of opposition candi-
dates, scandals and billingsgate have
no place in it's columns. In this
campaign we started out to keep
the REGISTER clean, and this we are
going to do to tho end. Papers
that want to deal in that kind of
campaign stuff can have the field
to themselves so far as we are con-
cerned. OF course legitimate criti-
cism of a mans public and official
acts, as is being done in the case of
of Hon. Chas. T. Caldwell, late
Prosecuting Attorney of Wood
county, and now the Republican
candidate for Congress, is right
and proper, and beyond this no pa
per should go.
We have fully defined our posi-
ton, we hope, to the satisfaction of
all Democrats, fully showing that
we will do our whole duty by the
Democratic party and it's nominees,
whether the party and it's candidates
do their duty by the REGISTER or
not. 1t is not what you get into
the columns of a paper, but what
is kept out, that makes it respecta-
BILE and influential in the communi.
ty in which it is published.

The Post Offices Run in the Interest OF
the Republican Party.

The Republican papers of this
State and in all the other States are
permitted to send out protection
literature without even printing
supplement" on the sheets. But
Democratic editors are forbidden by
the officials from doing such things.
If we attempted 1T, we would be ar
rested, fined and imprisoned. Was
such a prostitution of the mails ev-
er before attempted by any party?
Why shouldn't Democratic and Re-
publican papers be treated alike by
the postofice authorities?
