China is SO thickly populated that
hundreds OF thousands OF people live all
the year round in house boats. Japan
is not so overcrowded as China, but is
populated so thicily that about 10000
persons live in the crater OF Aso San Il
volcano about thirty miles distant from
the city of Numanoto.
II is found that Of $4,000 people
usually employed in n certain number
OF large textile factories in and about

been so critical since tho panic began,
and public relief measures have become
necessary.
Roots draw enormous quantities Of
moisture from tho soil, and by this
means it is discharged into tho atmos-

OF water during the five months it car

The Election Farce In tho South.

The Election Farce In the South.
1t will avail nothing to argue against
the Democratic election bill-except to
keep the people informed. The Demo
Gratis in tho house are strong enough to
pass any measure. They have the votes
in the senate as well, but under the
rules OF that body determined minorl-
ty may block legislation, US the silver
senators are doing now.
The difference between repeating and
not repeating the federal election laws
cannot be great. In tho south the
Democrats override the election laws
and hold mock elections TO suit
themselves, and there is no effort to en-
force those laws. Tho least informed
understands this peculiar and anoma-
lous situation. There Is not man or
woman, white or black, III this country
who does not know that in the cotton
states there arc no elections properly
so-called.
Everybody knows how tho thing is
done. The Democratic nominees are
given tho certificates Of election, no
matter who may be elected. Nor is the
Democratic machinery worked solely
against Republicans. 1t works as
surely and merciIessly against Populists
as against Republicans. This was
shown clearly in Alabama. where Cap
tain Kolb, Populist nominee for COVER
nor, was elected fairly and unquestion-
ably and the certifcate'of election given
TO the Democratic nominee. The Ala.
bama frauds were unblushing, but not
holder or more shameless than others in
other states.
The Populist party in the cotton
states is MS much a "white mans party"
as the Democratic. 1t is composed OF
Just about the same material, being
drawn in the main from the Democratic
party. But it is not Democratic and,
therefore, must be cheated out OF any
victory it may win.
Tho Democrats beingso entirely mas
tiers OF the situation, it can make no
more practical difference TO them than
to Republicans or Populists what the
national election laws are, or whether
there are any.
To be above the law and exempt
from it, should DO as satisfactory as to
get the law of the books, where it is
as dead as door nail.

Harper'S FesAy makes as good de-
fence as We have seen OF the nomina-
ton OF Mr.. ]. ]. Van Allen to the
Italian mission. Mr.. Van Allen is kind.
ly spoken Of as a graduate OF Harvard,
who has lived in England and Newport
and has a taste for society and sports.
In the campaign OF 1892 he took to
politics. Hdrpcr's Weekly thinks there
is nothing in the case to arouse tho
avalanche of hostile criticism with
which the nomination has been as
sailed by men and newspapers of all
parties; and the Presidents high char
acter should save him from being de-
nounced for making the nomination,
which is no better and no worse than
some others. This is the substance OF
q carefully prepared and able defense.
Mr.. Van Allen has spent most OF his
manhood years out OF his country. In
Newport no has lived in an atmosphere
decidedly not American and as de-
cldedly English as the swell society of
that fashionable resort knows how to
make it. II the atmosphere OF swell
Newport be not altogether English, it is
because an imitation, no matter how
closely it may follow original lines, usu.
ally leaves something to be desired.
So far as Mr.. Van Allen has devoted
himself to anything by way Of prepara-
ton for a public career, he has sought
that preparation through society and
sports. A graduate OF tho diplomatic
school OF the dinner table and the ball
room, he is to be given charge Of
whatever diplomatic interests this
country has in Italy, a nothing.to-do
patron OF the polo field, lie is expected
10 represent at the Italian court gov
ornment of practical people who take
life seriously and work for living.
Without experience OF any kind to fit
him for the place, admittedly without
ability, he gots tho appointment be-
cause he bought it.
1t has been denied that Mr.. Van Allen
paid $50. 600 for the honor. Mr.. Horace
White, who knows tho circumstances
and is strongly attached to President
Cleveland, undertook to raise $4,000 to
be refunded to Mr.. Van Alien so as
to.relieye Mr.. Cleveland and the poEaO.

Light for West Virginia.

p.NsbbTJh Dspith
Colonel Benjamin Wilson, OF Wilson
burg, has been interviewed by the Regis
Ter Of that city, and he comes to the res
cue OF Governor MucCorkle, who pro-
tested before the ways and means COM
mittee against any reductions in the
present tariff OH coal in gallant style.
Colonel Wilson maintains that tariff
on coal is Democratic measure us old
us our present form OF government, and
sound Democratic doctrine. In support
OF his position lie advances some first
class protective tariff arguments that
are calculated to open the Democratic
eyes OF the Registers constituency while
our great industrial interests are being
placed under the knife OF the free trade
majority. Among other things the
colonel says:
"Now, the millions OF people who live
along tho seaboard and in the great
cities Of the east will have the benefit
OF Il revenue tariff in their many
thousands of manufactures, whose
manufactured articles we buy, and it is
but equitable that West Virginia should
have the opportunity OF competing with
foreign coal III supplying the eastern
market, which competition only can be
mad by imposing revenue tariff upon
the foreign coal. Give to our people
and producers this advantage, and it
will operate largely to the benefit oil
nearly all classes-the miner. the Ia
borer, the railroad man, the boarding
house keeper, the merchant, the black
smith, the farmer who supplies timber
to the mines, and many Others"
Men of Colonel Wilson's foresight
and understanding are worth moro to
West Virginia than all OF tho theorizing
politicians put together that she ever
produced. The financial and commerce.
al interests OF the state are paramount
to the ambitions OF her so-called states.

"a truth that is now being brought
home. Let the Register continue giving
its readers the views OF such men US
Colonel Wilson, and there is hope that
in time they will fully comprehend the
dangers OF Democratic tariff tinkering.

New York Democratic Platform.
Tho platform adopted by the New
York Democracy at Saratoga yesterday
contains one good recommendation in
asking the constitutional convention,
which will meet soon, to provide for the
extension OF the elective franchise to
women. ltis amatter OF no small Won
der that n recommendation OF that
character should spring from such a
source, for tho reason that such extern
sion OF the elective franchise will great
ly endanger the success OF the Demo-
cratic party.
The amusing feature is tho plank that
soberly says that "the Democratic party
came into power none too soon to cor
rect the widespread distress caused by
unsound and plutocratic Republican
legislation" The country at large can't
sec it that way. When President Har-
rison turned over the government to
his successor there never were more
prosperous times in the land. In the
few months OF Democratic administra-
ton the distress began and will con-
tinue SO long as the ways and means
committee goes on mOnlioying with the
protective tariff laws. Even the way
faring man though a fool has discern.
ment enough to realize that.
