TuRK or COMMISSIONERS MASON.

WAsHIeroN, November 1. Nearly
every one who comes to Washington
from West Virginia Of late has a story
to tell OF man named NJ. s. Davis.
who is perniciously active in all parts
Of the State in the interests Of the Re-
pnblicans. Mr.. Davis is turning up in
the most unexpected and out Of way
places like q bad penny although it
is evident he endeavors to conceal his
tracks, as If he felt he was engaged in
work that would not stand in the light
OF day. And from facts that have
come 70 the knowledge Of the Demo.
cratic leaders, il is likely that Davis
business is such that both for his safe
Ety and reputation the best thing for
him is to pursue 1t under cover. That
is the business he is engaged in for the
Republican conspiraters, who have
planned to capture tho State by the
lavish and corrupt use Of money and
the most shameless abuse of Federal
power and patronage ever known in
the history Of this government.
This man Davis, it should be known,
is one of the creatures Of Internal
Revenue Commissioner Mason. He il
down on the list Of employees Of the In
/ ternal Revenue Bureau as storekeep
or and gauger, and is supposed to b
located at Newburg, Preston county
His salary is ~ per day and this q

The careless youth, who sets d lot Of
dry leaves and brush on fire in the
heart Of the mountains, this time II
the year when every twig, branch and
bramble is Jas parched IS Arabian
punk, little knows the extent 81 dam
age his amusement may cost an entire
section Of country.
IN thu first place every tree. bush,
plant and parasite vine that clings to
decayed stumps and messy rocks,
possess power in themselves to dis
charge and inhale moisture. In fiat
countries where there are few trees
and brushes, rain is less frequent and
dew IS almost phenomenal. This
freshness that ARISES from the moun-
tains in mist during the early hours Of
morning is absorbed in the atmosphere
and tempers it, making it invigorating
and healthy to inhale.
This vapor also assists in generating
rain and in some sections Of the coun-
try whore whole forests have been laid
low with the woodmens axe, great
streams and creeks have been dried up
and never will be the watering places
for wild animals or game again.
The fire on the mountains around us
has destroyed the germs Of wild vege-
tation that years and years cannot re-
produce. The most beautiful and the
most stately trees have had their
hearts sap extracted from them and
they only stands as charred stumps
never again TO spread out their green
branches. The beautyof the NOM
tains are destroyed and ugly chared
spots remains, which are CONDUCIVE te
anything else than picturesquenesi
and moisture.
/ In the second place the danger O
starting fire is very great, as thor,
is no telling where it will end. Tn,
fire that was lighted IN the northern
section Of the mountains range ha
InsarlY been distinguished by.ssrr'
work, but the several acres Of shoulder
ling embers will mark the spot 70
years to come.
In the South mountain range Til
fire was fierce and disastrous to privat
property, and fora time several house
perched on the slope ofthe monstrou
hillwere in danger Of being consumed
4 The fires are still raging in som
sections of the mountains and grea
damage, tits said, is being done b,
the flames. The, lumbermen in Yves
Virginia are fighting the flames whicl
threaten to consume their shantie
and cut timber.

INED TO KEEP THE DEPUTY MAR
sHALs FROM THE BOOTHS.

New York, November Within
the thirty-six hours last passed birth
has been given to elements which may
come together in this city on election
day with sharp crash.
One Of the elements referred to is
the announced adherence by Attorney
General Miller to the custom OF the
past, under Judge Bradley's decision,
in accordance with which federal u
pervisors Of election have passed any
where they deemed wise within the
election enclosure. The other and OPP
posing element lies in the fact that
Lieut.. Governor Sheehan, Chairman
Eof the New York State Democratic
Campaign Committee, has printed an
address to the Democrats in the State
in which he cites Judge Brewers de-
cision and he calls on Democrats to
see to it that the Federal supervisors
do not enter the booths.
Judge Brewer, of the United States
supreme court, has ruled that such
officers have no right to enter booths,
or go behind the enclosure where the
ballot boxes are.
Secretary De Freest, Of the Demo
cratic State Committee, speaking to.
day of Mr.. MiIler's circular to the Fed
eral supervisors and-of Mr.. Sheehan's

there. He said the Democrats would

foreshadows the possible clash Of The
two elements referred to or Tuesday

position to the directions contained in
the Attorney Generals circular issued
under the Bradley decision.
That this outcome is anticipated by
the Federal officials of this city, is
evidenced by the fact that United

today sent . telegram to acting At
torhey General Aldrich, calling atten-
ton to what he designated the sin
fahmatory proclamation Of the Eieut.

ton, and GO cents for each subse-
quent insertion, the other rates men,
toned above corresponding very
closely to the amount allowed per

hit at Hon. T. b. Mills, as well as to
show the public that the Optic ought
to have all the San Miguel county
printing, which it was then working
for, at higher than the rates men,
toned in the bill. The above was
only out Of several remarks of the
same general tenor that appeared at
the date mentioned in the clipping.
A little over year has passed since
the above appeared and in that time
an offer has been made to do the
same class of legal of printing men,
toned in that bill by the same paper
at five cents per square, or just one
twentieth of the rates that it then
claimed were too low. 1t is very
evident that either the paper was
mistaken as to knowing what was
fair rate for legal printing or does
not know at all what it costs to trans.
act its business. 1t will soon be in
order for the Optic to come out with
several columns of editorial day on
