The message of Governor Fleming
to the Legislature gives gratifying
exhibit of the progress of the State.
Since 1870 the population has in
creased from 442, O44 to 762, 794, an
increase of 1857 per cent. Within
the same period the railroad mileage
has increased from less than 400 to
nearly 1,7OO miles, or 325 per cent.
There has also been a gratifying in
crease in live stock and the princi-
pal farm products, while the value of
mineral wealth has increased ia per
cent. and the value of mineral pro-
ducts 224 per cent. The coal out
put increased from ,404 ,OO8 tons in
1880 to 8. 71O, 1888 tons in 1892, while
in the same time the coke produced
increased from 121,7l5 tons to 1.
313,449 tons. Tie financial condition
of the State is highly satisfactory,
and the Governor recommends re-
duction in taxation for State purposes
from % to 20 cents on the $780,
The Governor says the new election
law, modelled after the Australian
ballot system and tried for the first
time at the late November election,
gave general satisfaction. tIt is
unquestionably," says Governor
Fleming, promotive of free, I'M
trammeled expression of the popular
will and tends to lessen fraud and
corruption at elections. The law
should be amended, however, so as
to provide for laying off each magis-
terial district of the State into as
many election precincts as there are
voting places therein, and require
each voter to vote within the pre-
cinct in which he resides. The Gov
ernor favors the Nicaragua canal, and
recommends that the Legislature en-
courage tie undertaking by adopting
astrong resolution in support of tue
government extending aid to the en-
terprise. The public school system
is rapidly extending, and tile
schools are better supported, better
attended and better taught and are
doing more practical and effective
work than at any other period in the
States history" The West Virginia
University continues prosperous and
its usefulness is increasing, while the
State normal schools are doing in
most satisfactory manner the impor-
tant work they were designed to ac-
complish. The Governor says it is
the duty of the State, and an obIiga-
ton it should willingly assume, to
vote funds sufficient to establish and
maintain thoroughly organized and
efficient military. The operations of
the State board of agriculture so far
have been such as to indicate the ul-
innate success of the department. -
Altogether, West Virginia seemsto be
entering upon an era of great devel-
ment and prosperity.

Nest Virginia has half million
in her treasury and doesn't owe a
cent. A bill is now under consider
alton by the Legislature and will
probably become law reducing the
rate of taxation for State purposes
from 20 to 20 cents on the hundred
dollars.

For the position of County Com
missioner from Charles Town Dis

the resignation of Col. Jno. T. Glib
son, various persons have been sug-
gested-John Il. Colston, F. j. Man

VIM. Burr, De Witt C. strtder, D.
S. Hughes, j. Ed. Burns, Geo. T.
Light, Robert Chew and Chas. C.

whom it should not be difficult to
select a tiptop commissioner.

Last week bill was introduced
into the Legislature to discontinue
the sessions of the Supreme Court OF
Appeals at this place and at Wheel.
ing. The bill was referred to the in,
dietary Committee, and heated de-
bate was had before that committee.
Our watchful delegate. a. S. Dan
bridge, prevailed on the committee,
however, to postpone action until
Friday, the 27th, in order that the
sense of the different Bars through
out the State might be ascertained,
and promptly notified the lawyers
here. Accordingly the Bar held a
meeting yesterday in earnest protest,
nd the proceedings of that meeting
ELL be found in another column.
1t is to be hoped that the unwarran-
table change will not be made. In
the first place Charles Town is more
accessible to a vast section of the
State than Charleston. A glance at
the map will show that Charleston is
woefully inaccessible to jefferson,
Berkeley, Morgan, Hampshire, Har-
dY, Pendleton, Mineral, Tucker,
Preston, Monnongalia, Taylor, Ma
rion, Randolph, Upshur, GiImer,
Harrison, WetZel, Marshall. Ohio.
Brooke, Hancock, and perhaps even
Richie and Doddridge. For any of
these counties Charles Town is much
more convenient than Charleston.
Again, our county some years ago
contributed 81, 900 for library for
the use and convenience of the court,
and contributed suitable library
room; also at different times made
contributions of considerable sums
for additional reports. Besides this
the members of the Bar all contribu-
ted books and money for like OBJ
ject. And we submit, after we have
gone to this expense and trouble, we
should be entitled to some consider
alton. And again, there must be an
early autumn session of the court.
and as compared to Charleston,
Charles Town can certainly claim
superior climate in hot weather. we
have also recently built one of the
finest hotels in the State. Consider
ing all of these facts, it does seem to
us that the proposed change is inju-
dicious, TO say the least of it. The
only argument We have heard for
having the court sit at Charleston is
that the judges and the clerk of the
court are all in favor of it. We
humbly suggest that the sittings of
the court are for the convenience of
the people, and not of the judges and
clerk.
