There was a brilliant aurora borealls on
Saturday evening last The display was
witnessed throughout the country, and the
Geographic instruments were subject to the
electrical disturbances and the transmission
of kilograms in measure impeded or OBJ
structed The phenomenon is supposed to
be due to the highly electrified condition Of
the atmosphere. A theory prevails that
these electrical disturbances are connected
with the appearance of spots on the surface
of the sun, aud the phenomenon of Satur-
dav seems to confirm this view, as there Is
now a spO, on the sun capable of being
seen with the naked eye. The light on Sat
urday night was at first vivid rose-red,
but gradually diminished in intensity to a
delicate pink and thea to violet hue, after
which it was no longer distinguishable from
the clear sky. The illumination was streak
ed with rays of almost white light, and in
addition the more brilliant stars, pariicu-
larly the polar star, could be distinguished
amid the brilliant color.

Hon. VIM. /. Wilson, of West Virginia,
makes statement, which has the indorse-
ment of his Democratic colleagues on the
WAYS and means committee of the Fiftieth
Congress in which he refutes declaration
published in Senator Kenna's interview, in
which the Senator was quoted as saying the
Mills tariff bill was the arbitrary decoc-
ton of eight men. On the contrary, Mr..
~ ilson says, the bill was constantly COM
milted TO the judgment of the full party
representatives. Mr. Wilson thinks the
Senator must have been misquoted.
The Baltimore suns special Washington
correspondent of date Monday says:
Referring to the interview of Hon. VIM
l. Wilson, of West Virginia, published in
the Sun of Saturday, Senator Kenna to- day
said 10 your correspondent, "The report of
expressions attributed t. me by the publ
cation in the San of Thursday, touching the
preparation of the Mills bill, was said to be
based upon a conversation which took place
few days ago: find in recurring to the
interview that quotation marks are used,
thereby implying that my language was
quoted. This is utterly impossible. The
language ascrihed to me Is the language of
the writer. The substance of what he says
relating to the Mills bill and to the ways
and means committee is so far modifica-
ton of which actua " said as to make it
substantially inaccurate throughout, and /
cheerfully say now what ! would have said
to Mr.. Wilson, if he had given me the OPP
portunity, that ! made no assault upon the
WAYS and means committee or upon the
Mills bill. The conversation to which the
correspondent alluded was the most casual
talk Of few squares ride in street car. |
no more pretend to recall the exact Ian
guage employed than he can. What was
said was more atfirmatively with reference
to what seemed to be good present policy
than any criticism of the expediencies or
policies of the past. | had no thought of
rejecting on the committee, either in their
official conduct or personally. The same
observations now make apply equally as
well To the mention of the names of Gov
Hill, Gov Boies, of Iowa, and Mr.. Steven
son. OF Illinois" As Senator Kenna re-
marks. the language attributed to him was
quoted from memory, and there was no in
tention to ascribe to him any expression or
opinions which he did not utter"
Hon. John T. McGraw has established n
stock farm at the new town of Marliuton,

"The Russian Famine Relief Committee
of the United States has brought to the at

destitute condition of more than twenty
millions of the peasants of Russia, with the

The people of this State have been sig,

they promptly respond to this appeal for

Senator Kenna has been interviewed by a

touched every living question appertaining
to the political issues of the cay, except

should have been so completely ignored by

A representative Of the Baltimore SIN last
week interviewed Senator Kenna on the pO-
itical situation and gave an interesting re-
port of it. Mr.. Kenna thinks Cleveland, or
some man outside of New York, will be
nominated; and that Hill stands no chance.
He is not doubtful of the results conf
dent of Democratic success He prefers
agitation and discussion of men and meas
ures before rather than after the convention
lis of the opinion that sit is not the dis
cussions and controversies which occur
prior to the meeting of a convention which
are most damaging. The greatest trouble
arises from a wrangle in convention, the
nomination Of an unpopular candidate, fol-
lowed by an irrecoucilabe dispute between
the victorious aud the defeated factions
There is an element in every party which
likes to feel that its wishes and desires pre-
dominate in the management of great po-
litical struggles, but when brought face TO
face with a proposition to yield or subject
the party to defeat an amicable adjustment
can easily be reached. Democrats of the
Jcffersoniau brand do not sulk IN their tents.
They regard party success first, personal
ambitions last"

Some surprise was expressed when it was
found that the joint resolution passed by
the Senate directing the Secretary of the
Treasury TO pay TO West Virginia her share
of the direct tax money, had turned up in
that body again and was under discussion.
1t was recalled by Mr. Faulkner for recon-
sideration through courtesy to Senator Dan
iel. of Virginia who was absent at the time
of its passage. The question has been very
ably argued by the Virginia Senator's and
Senator Faukner-the latter doing himself
infinite honor in the discussion, proving
himself thoroughly acquainted with the
subject aud master in impromptu debate
Mr.. Mills and Mr. Hill both say the proper
thing for the Democratic u. : House of
Representatives to do, would be to pass a
low tariff bill and leave the Republican
party the responsibility Of its defeat-At

If the Mr. Hill referred to is David B.,
the partnership in political ideas above an
nounced is a surprise to everybody. The
Glow tariff bill" that Mr. Hill advocates the
passage of is the Republican tariff Of SO,
which he proposes shall be re-enacted place
Of the Mckinley law. The effort to put

Col. McCorkle, of Charleston, honored
us by call on Friday. Col. McCorkle is
one of the young Democrats of West Vir-
ginia-of West Virginia that is, beyond
most States, the young mans State. We
have bad occasion more than once to refer
10 the fact of young men in West Virginia
being 10 the front in all the departments OF
life. AT one time she had the youngest
university president in the world, the
Youngest chief Masonic dignitary in the
world; The youngest Catholic bishop in the
world The youngest governor in the United
states and the youngest United States SEN
ator. and young representatives. At the
same time the old men were not, and are
not now. discounted. But We started out
to say that Col. McCorkle is young man
-imbued with the laudable ambition o.
being governor of West Virginia, and with
fair chance for the Democratic nominal
ton, and, consequently, in fair way to be
our chief executive. He is 4 man of ability,
q good speaker, a genuine DemOOi"'i
'hustler," we may say, aud, nominee or not,
one that will wake up the dry bones, if any
are to he found in this year of political ac-
Invites. He is superb specimen, physi-
cally, of manhood dignifed and pleasing
in address. If called to be our chief exec
utive we believe he will give US an ecOnom-
zeal administration, without falling under
the ban of being niggardly or narrow-mind-
ed. We are not committed to any candi-
date for governor or for any subOrd nate po-
sitiou, but we are pleased to be able to say
we are in position to speak well, this A.
d. 1892, of men who deserve it-reserving
our committals to men who are fairly nom
/ mated and are worthy.
