THE suggestion of the REGISTER
that Hon. Il. S. Riley of Wheeling be
honored by the Democratic party
with the nomination for Attorney
General meets with instant favor. The
Wheeling NeWs Letter says: If there
is any man who is more deserving
than any other at the hands OF West
Virginia Democrats, it is L. s. Riley.
When the true history of the CAM
paigns of 1888 and 1890 is written, it
will be known that L. S. Riley accom-
plished more single-handed or ham
pered by laundering coadJutors. than
any other leader the Democracy of
this State ever had" Mr. Riley is
not a candidate for the place in the
sense of making an active canvass for
the nomination. He will not do that,
but will devote his time in the present
campaign to a thorough organization
of the Democratic party, duty that
he is called upon to perform as chair
man of the State Executive Commit
tee. But we know that II the party
shall tender him the nomination it
will be as gratifying to him as 1t will
be pleasing to his numerous friends
throughout the State.

TEN DAYS IN WASHINGTON.
THIRD POPULAR EXCURSION TO THE
NATIONAL CAPITAL VIA B. & o. X. II.

NATIONAL CAPITAL VIA B. o. X. r.
The third popular excursion to
Washington, via b. Il o. r. R., from
Pittsburg. Wheeling, Parkersburg,
Lexington and intermediate stations
to Washington Junction, Md, is an
nounced for Thursday, February 18th.
The popularity OF these winter trips
to the National Capital via B. & o.
is due to the exceedingly low rates,
the excellence Of the train service,
with Pullman accommodations, and
to the fact that the b. & o. is the
shortest route.
The journey is delightful as well as
instructive, while in Washington are
more interesting sights than in any
other American city. The museums,
the art galleries, the White House,
the public buildings-to all Of which
admission is free-are attractions at
all times appreciated.
Tickets from Pittsburg, Wheeling,
and intermediate points to Martins
burg are valid to Baltimore, and as
they are good for ten days ample time
is afforded for side trips to Mt. Yer
non, Old Point Comfort, and other
adjacent points.
For time OF trains and rates OF fare

or Sleeping Car accommodations and

Mr.. j. ALBERT LINK, OF Dufflelds,
has concluded to become a candidate
for county assessor in this district,
and will solicit the support of the
voters in due time. Mr.. Link is one
Of the best young men Of this county.
He comes of good stock, the Link
family being one OF the oldest in this
section and one of the most respected.
Democratic in their principles for gen
erations, not one of them has, we be-
lieve, been a candidate for public
Office, at least in late years. Mr.. Link
is a son of the late Lieut.. Thomas
Link, who was gallant soldier in the
Confederate army and a man greatly
admired. Wherever the nomination
may go, it will not light on a more
deserving young gentleman than Bert
Link.

PATRIOTISM AND PUBLIC WORKS.

In the recent Chilean crisis the presi-
dent was periodically supported by con-
siderable number of Democratic news
papers and Democratic congressman. The
Democratic House, though opposed to the
president on party questions by more
than two-thirds majority. refused to pass
Congressman Breckinridge's resolution
impugning the good faith of the president
and seeking to weaken the government in
dealing with difficult and vexing foreign
question. Mr.. Blount, of Georgia. and the
other members of the House committee on
foreign affairs, stood firmly by the presi-
dent and inaexibly opposed the dema-
gogic attempt of Breckenridge to make
party capital by factious criticism Of the
executive. The president was warmly
sustained by the New York Sun, the
Boston Globe and other leading Democratic
journals.
This is as It should be. but why should
not the patriotism Of both parties go fur
ther and cease from the mischievous prac-
tice of refusing support to great public
works, lest the party in power reap undue
credit with the people for their Inaugural
ton and execution. In the British parlia-
ment Mr.. Gladstone never offers factious
opposition to the Inauguration of impor-
tant public works because they are pro-
posed by the government of Lord Salisbury,
nor does he even make factious opposition
10 the ordinary measures of Lord Sails
bury's foreign policy, like the surrender of
Helgoland. the affairs of Egypt. the di-
vision of equatorial Africa. or the diplo-
matte settlement Of disputed questions
with Portugal or France. The leaders OF
the great English parties do not stoop TO
petty factious opposition to every act of
the party in power that is almost the In
variable practice in our American congress.
The great project OF the Nicaragua canal
is not likely 10 be adopted by the pres
ent congress. because il was s pet meas
ure of John Sherman's in the last congress,
and is stigmstized as essentially Re
publican" measure. despite the fact that
number OF able Democrats. like Senator
Morgan, of Alabama, have from the
start given il enthusiastic support. Bat
the chief obstacle TO its passage is
the adoption by the Democratic House of
the stupid demagogue resolution Of Con-
gresham Holman. which pledges the
majority practically TO vote down every
measure that eontemplates the appropria-
ton OF money for any purpose save the
necessary expenses OF the government. In
order that the Democratic party can 40
into the campaign with a record OF reduced
appropriations, great project Of vast and
far-reaehing consequence to the CONNER
eial development and prosperity of
the whole United States will he
obliged 20 wait for assistance at least two
years. So with all great lump appro-
priations for the rapid completion of the
Columbis river Improvements. or of the
defsnSes of Puget sound; they are always
obliged TO wait or move with dragging
stride because Of this demagogue desire TO
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1892-02-06

make 'ta record of economy" or TO pre-
vent the party in power from making
record for the execution of important pub
lie improvements.
1t is great pity that there is not more
patriotism ana less partisanship in con-
gress, or at least more of that sound En-
gIish common sense which declines In the
British parliament to factiousiy oppose
measures which clearly make for the COM
mon public veal because they happen to
be proposed and urged by the party in
power. Daniel Webster never stopped to
this kind of partisanship, but always sup
ported public improvements in all parts OF
the country; the development of the coun-
try in all its parts always had his support
even when proposed as pet measures by
the opposition in power.
