start their manufactures as they had
promised if the Senate would cease It's
pickering and pass the bill uncOnditon-
ally. That Cover Cleveland has gained
that point he so MOLLY stood for, and
that without the full support OF MS
party. and the Democratic platform so
iar,haS been fulfilled, goes 20 show that
the administration intends 90 fully carry
out the principles laid down 70 the
country In Chicago 20 its miuuteSt de-
tail. This itself should go a long way
I'm allayng that great scare that has
Overspread the country and give conf
dence that no radical or revolutionary
change will be made in the tariff, az
least any that might force distress upon
the working classes or the capitalist
who have their money invested In the
industries Of the manufacturing centres
Of our country.
The all absorbing question here now
is what effect will the repeal have upon
the elections in the several States one
week from to-day. Men who were will
ing 10 bet that Mckinley would carry
Ohio bv not less than $4,000 one week
ago are now afraid % pick up oners
that he will not make 10 by the 2l,OOOot
his last run, and q certain party VINO
was willing 20 place 500 last week that
Vagina would not give Farrell 10000
Democratic majority, last night az the
MetrODOlital Hotel refused 20 take an
even bet of $50 that be would be elected
by not less than 10000 So il goes.
Well, however it may pan out, 10 Is SAFE
% say that more voters are leaving
Washington for New York, Ohio, Iowa,
Nebraska and Virginia than ever before
on an on year. But however those
States may 60, / do not think 10 Will
have any bearing whatever upon the
business of the country. A few months
trial of the law a. 10 now stands since
the passage of the repeal bill will
at least show which way the
cat Jumps, and what then shall de done
with the tariff, will be-, in my esJima-
ton, the vital point at issue. Every
body here, with Of course the exception
of q few WeSterners, are 10 jolly good
humor aud predict that their many
friends at their different homes will
soon be able 20 procure work, and that
the dreaded winter will be, as In years
gone by, full Of peace aud plenty.
The wheeling boys here are all in
good health and spirits, for, OF course,
Uncle Sans employees always have their
regular pay days, and they do not fear
stoDpage or a strike; but nevertheless
they hODe 70 see their many fellow
workmen at home have plenty Of work
with good remuneration for the same,
Nessrs. Garden BTiceland, PendletOn,
Fee aud McGarrell are all 40 work, but
I cannot say they are Oyerburdened
with the same, as all are gaining from

TIL ia the week, Sundays
from fthe West Virgiaians can be
u,olonilarge numbers at headquarters,
TIC NEon8l Hotel. I have counted at
one lime there thirty-6ye Office holders
from the different counties OF the Little
Mountain State, and the REGISTER Is
eagerly scanned for any new arrivals.
The great crowds who were here seek
ing for some position or other have
-m0stly gone 20 their homes SOrely dis
appointed, but there are few yet TO
be seen who tenaciOus.y hold on with
the hope of securing something. Many
who came here well hee,ed With filthy
lucre and recommendations for a con-
sulship or nothing less than chief
shlp of some division, are now willing
20 take a nesseDgershiD and are living
at any lodging room they can find and
dining st free lunch counters instead OF
the National, Metropolitan or Randall
Ole man / know wanted a c.erkShip
and stated nothing less than $1,000
position would pay him 20 come here.
He failed 20 pass the civil service exam
nation and tried for @ skilled helpers
position az 5000, but could not make il.
He however got work the other day in
the POstOlice Department 40 the muni-
fcent salary OF SO per month, and feels
happy 20 get that much. Another from
our own State stayed here since March
4th, but went home q few days ago on
borrowed monaghan, lank and hum

Mr.. Bailey, Of Texas, introduced in
the House yesterday bill, that should
receive the endorsement Of every mem
Der: TO repeal the retirement Of Army
and Navy Officers. lt certainly is not
right that men who have spent their
whole existence under the government
at extravagant salaries should be pen
stoned when they could have saved for
times and many have so done and leave
the same 90 their dccendentS, Now
some member should introduce q bill 20
dispense with that ariStOCratic and
dude prod dcing pest known as West
Point where the public not only schools
and feeds but keep for life 10 itlenesS
those manufactured officers and then
retires them 40 the public expense. Let
our officers be raised from the ranks
where they have seen service, aud II
the aristocrats OF the country wish 10
become dudes let them take their
chances. West Point produces nothing
but arrogant and tyrannical whipper-
snaDpers who never knew what days
work is, and were raised in the lap Of
luxury.
During the war, the regular army OIL
GERS who did the fighting aud had the
respect and love of their commands were
these who were promoted from the ranks
and never knew what West Point meant
only through some kid-gloyed 0lgot
mat might be sent from that eye-sore
academy duriRg the winter when no
fgbtiop was TO be done and TO be moved
- some command in the spring near the
5efenses Of Washington or out-of-the-
