It Was Postponed Again Yesterday on
Account of Absences-Views on the Sem
atorial Contest.
Special telegram 10 he Register.
WASHINGTON, d. c., January 1G.-Con-
eressmen Capehart and Anderson returned
from Charleston this morning, thinking
that the West Virginia direct tax matter
would be considered in the House to-day.
1t turned out, however, that Judge Culber-
son, of Texas, chairman of the Judiciary
Committee, could not be present on account
Of the sickness of his wife, and that Mr.
Buchanan, Of Virginia, who reported the
resolution from the committee, was out OF
the city. Therefore the matter could not,
with safety, be considered; A later day
will be fixed.
Mr.. Burrows. of Michigan, who may OPP
pose the resolution on its merits will not
object 10 consideration at any time, but
would have objected to-day and could have
prevented final action to-day. Messrs
Anderson and Capehart were very much
pleased with the amiable arrangement
carried out in Charleston yesterday. Con-
gresham PendletOn TO night after hearing
OF the understanding between the friends Of
Faulkner aud Camden at Charleston said ::
Il was the happiest outcome of the contest
that could have occurred, and was an excel
lent thing for the party in the Ltate. 1t
would be especially agreeable TO the large
number Of Democrats in the State who
were friends of both Camden and Faux
ner and desired to see an amicable under
standing reached between them.

Mr. Kempner Explains HIS Vote.
ALBANY, n. Y, January 17.-Edward
Murphy was to-day chosen by the State
Legislature as United States Senator TO
succeed Frank Hiscock. Two were absent
from the Senate during the vote which re-
suited: Murphy II; HiscOck IL: Whltelaw
Reid /. The last being cast by Senator
Edwards, independently
In the Assembly there was a bit OF ex-
element caused by Mr.. Kempner, OF New
York, who denounced Murphy as a candl-
date in the Joint caucus week ago. Wnen
MIR. Kempner's name was reached ne
said: ~ beg to be excused from voting
and shall briefly and pointedly state my
reasons:
First-The election of Mr.. Edward Muir
phv. Jr., is dictated by himself and about
three other persons in utter dehanceo OF puo-
lie sentiment.
Second-He is not statesman, either OF
high or low degree, and consequently IS not
fit to represent this State in the United
States Senate.
Third-He has always been opposed to
the President-elect.
Here he was interrupted and overruled'
but continued:
'If, then, am not allowed to explain my
vote. 1 must reluctantly and with regret
vote for the caucus nominee, Edward
Murphy"
Mr.. Frazer caused great laugh by an
nouncing his choice as NV. Bourke," sno
then correcting himself and giving Mr..
Murphy's name. The result was three ao-
sentees): Murphy, %; Hiscock, %.

The Legislature could not do a more

The enactment Of such law has fire.

REGISTER. Now is the Legislatures

1t is the duty of the State to protect
its citizens in all their rights. This is
one of the prime objects of civilized
government. II the lawful forces are
not sufficient to do this they should be
made sufficient 1t is at all events as

lack of confidence In the ability Of the
officers of the law to preserve order,
which is at best demoralizing to both
the government and the citizens. When
such action is taken the citizen
practically takes the law into his own
hands and the difference between his
action and actual Lynch law is not very
marked. The spirit is the same. In
addition to these points the employment
Of Pinkertons is always resented by the
people and invariably 'inflames and in
tensiies the opposition it is intended to

The legislature should hasten to inact
rigid law prohibiting the employment
Of Pinkertons in West Virginia.

ALL WANT MORE MONEY.
The Chicago Building Trades All to Strike
April 1.

CHICAGO, January 17-Every trade en-
gagged in the building line in Chicago viii
make demand for increased pay April l.
In addition to the demand for an increase
in wages, eli the unions will insist on an
agreement with the contractors to employ
only union men in their respective lines OF
work. Both these demands have already
been decided on by the Building Trades
Council, and only await ratification by the
unions represented in that central body.
So far as the refusal to work with non
union men is concerned, the point has been
practically settled, as the delegates to the
council have already been instructed by
their respective unions to insist upon that
stipulation in future agreements with con-
tractors. The individual unions are at
present busy with the question OF what IN
crease in wages will be asked under the
new agreements. With the exception OF
the bricklayers' union, which has an agree
ment with the contractors which runs
nearly two years longer, all the other
unions engaged in the building lines are
prepared to make the demands mentioned.

,vv,,. ANp Happily sETrLED.

As predicted exclusiyelVin the REGIS
rrR,s Charleston dispatches the Sena-
torlal contest was settled yesterday by
ne nominations in the Democratic
caucus of Senator FAULKNER to succeed
himself and of ex-senator CAMDEN to
6U the unexpired term Of the late Sena-
tor KENNA.
This is the logical solution OF some
what confused and complicated situa-
ton. Had this agreement not been
reached there is no knowing how long
the deadlock might have continued, the
friends Of both these worthy gentlemen
being firm and unyielding in upholding
the claims OF their champions.
Aud these claims were very evenly
balanced. Mr.. CAMDEN desired chiefly
a vindlcation Of his political record be-
cause Of his defeat Of six years ago,
which resulted in the election of Mr..
FAULKNER. To this Mr.. CAMDEN was
clearly entitled, but-and here came the
rub-Senator faulkner was as clear
Nv entitled by his splendid services to
his country and his party in the Sen
ate 20 a reelection, his claim being dis
puted by none until the entrance into
tho contest OF Mr. CAMDEN, who, on
account Of his letter last spring, had
been regarded as not candidate.
Thus stood the situation between the
two. each with rival claims Of almost
equal validity, when the death Of Sena-
tor KENNA threw q new element into
the contest. 1t was then agreed to d.
vide the honorS, the only question be-
ing which should succeed Senator
FAULKNER. This has now been settled
bv Senator CAMDEN gracefully yielding
and agreeing to take Mr.. KENNA's va
cant seat, leaving Senator Faulkner
to succeed himself.
This, we repeat, is the logical and
inst solution Of the problem. IL would
have been manifestly an injustice to
REQUIRE Senator FAULKNER, even bad
he been willing, to step out Of his
own seat into Mr.. KENNA's, to do
which il would have been necessary for
him to resign his present seat; and, al
the same time, no injustice is done ex-
Senator CAMDEN, who, on the contrary,
is yindicated as IA. as it lay in the
power Of his pa " to do so at this
time and deal fairly with Senator
FAULKNER Had this complication not
existed, had he Tot Internationally mis-
led his friends by the publication OF the
letter referred to, no man in the State
he has done so much TO build up and
develop would have taken precedence
Of Mr.. CAMDEN, whose hold on the re-
spect and affections Of his party, and his
people is as strong and deep-rooted as
that OF any political leader in any State
Of the Union.
