A RfSEFLAY.

The Democrats of the Ways and
Means Committee have agreed
upon line Of action by which
the country may be relieved Of
its most serious burdens. No geE-
eral tariff bill will be presented,
but the presenttarilf will be- so
modified as to give temporary sep.
arate bills will be presented upon
such articles as it is thought that
several of the Republican Sena-
tors from the West will agree to,
and probably President Harrison
will approve Thisis right and
proper. A general tariff bill
would be defeated end the people
would have gained nothing by
electing a Democratic House.
When we have possession of the
Executive and both branches Of
Congress, then we may be able to
give the people the relief they are
asking, but at present nothing
can be done without the help Of
the Republican Senators and a
Republican President.

Hon. John d. Anderson is max
ing himself heard in the present
session of Congress, and has prov

sor of the able men who have
represented this district, both be-

attracting wide spread attention
and being commended by all of
that portion Of the American
press which fayors honesty in the
affairs of the government, and a
truthful statement Of the matters

hope that the resolutions Mr..

7BE PRESIDENCY

In commenting ON the early call
Of the New York State Conyen-
ton, which will meet at Albany,
on the 22nd inst, the World says !:
Senator Hill will have united
delegation from New York to the
National Convention. 1t lis doubt
full il any serious opposition to
him will be made. Certainly no
opposition can accomplish any
thing IN the time given against
the perfect organization at his
command. Nevertheless We think
that Senator Hill, who so seldom
errs in matters political, has made
a mistake.
A united delegation from New
York will do Senator Hill no
good unless the National Conven-
ton can be convinced that the
delegation expresses the will of
the Democratic party of New
York. While it may shelve Ex-
President Cleveland, it can not
nominate Senator Hill. There is
already revolt against Hill, led
by such men as Ex-Secretary
Fairchild and Ex-Mayor Grace.
We have never believed thata it
was policy to nominate New
York man, and New York is GER
tainly notentitled to it. She has
controlled every Democratic nom
nation for the Presidency since
the war, and every time, save one,
she has led the party to defeat.
Cleveland was elected simply be-
cause the Republicans had left
the West and made Blaine their
standard bearer, mistake which
it will not repeat. Twice only in
more than one hundred years
have the Democrats succeeded
with New York candidate
and in both instances tl-ey We're
candidates for reelection and de
ftated. Give us a candidate from
slime. 0siler one of tbs Il States.

CAMDEN rs IN IT."

1t is now certain that Ex=Sen-
at0r Camden will be candidate
again for the u. S. Senatorship.
and that Senator Faulkner will
also be candidate for reelection
There is no public man in West
Virginia for whom we have a
greater respect than Senator Cam
den But West Virginia at pre-
sent needs the services of Charles
James Faulkner in the Senate.
Though serving his first term Mr..
Faulkner has made for himself
a National reputation, and in the
great struggle of last year, which
ended in the defeat of the odious
Force bill, Mr.. Faulkner was only
second toSenator German. With
the splendid record which he has
made, West Virginia can not af-
ford to retire him from the SEN
ate. Like German and Daniel he
should have a unanimous support.

come to terms, and Uncle Sam i
satisfied, and nowit is raid thai
the bubble would have SOONER
bursted, had not Blaine deceived
Minister Mont as to- the AMIGA
bic adjustment Of the whole mat
ter, and Eagan was holding ont
the olive branch to the Chilean
government while President Har-
rison was preparing the message
which Ex-Speakcr Refer says was
issued just in time to cause the
sentiments Of the Republican par
ty to drift toward him. If these
things are SO, Blaine, Harrison
and Eagan are guilty, of a great
crime, which the people of Amer
lea will be slow to forgive. The
war cloud however has had the
effect Of showing the lofty patri-
otism Of the people Of every sec
ton. We may call each other
hard names, but strangers and
outsiders must beware of causing
the American Eagle to squall.
The following is the message Of
the President as sent to Congress !:
TO the Senate and House of Represent
atiyes: ''a''1'f
transmit herewith additional
correspondence between this GOV
eminent and the government Of
Chill, consisting of a note OF Mr..
Montt, the CHILEAN minister at
this capital, to Mr.. Blaine, dated
Jan. %; a reply of Mr.. Blaine
thereto Of date of Jan. 81; and a
dispatch from Mr.. Eagan, our
minister at Santiago, transmitting
tile response Of Mr.. Pereira, the
CHILEAN minister of foreign affairs
to the note Of Mr.. Blaine Of Jan,
81, which was received by me on
the Goth inst. The note of Mr..
Montt to Mr.. Blaine, though da-
ted Jan. %, was not received at
Gle State Department ntilaf1tge9rr.
II O'Clock, meridian, Of the 18th,
and was not translated and its re-
port notified to me until late i'll
the afternoon of that day.
The response Of Mr.. Pereira to
our note of the Dist, withdraws,
with acceptable expressions-e re-
greet, the offensive note of Mr..
Malta OF the 18th ultimo, and al
so tie request for the recall OF MIR
Eagan. The treatment Of the. in
cident of the assault upon the
sailors of the Baltimore is so con
ciliatory and friendly that am
OF the opinion that there is a
good prospect that the differences
growing out OF that serious affair
can now be adjusted npon-terns
Satisfactory to this government,
by the usual methods and with
out special powers from Congress.
This turn in the affair is very
gratifying to me, as / am sure
it will be to the Congress and to
our people. The general support
OF the efforts of the executive to
enforce the just right Of the Ma
ton in this matter has given an
instructive and useful illustration
of the unity and patriotism OF
our people.
Should it be necessary, | will
again communicate with Congress
upon the subject.
