As TO ALLEGED INACTIVITY OF OUR
N. C.'S.

There is much impatience and COM
plant among the Democracy through
ont the State, who have been cores
pondlng with their Representatives and
Senators at Washington, about what
seems to them inattentlon and neglect.
They claim that their letters are not
promptly answered or sometimes not
answered at all. 1t is natural for cor
respondents who do not understand the
situation TO construe delays and no re-
sponses to important letters OF Inquiry
as lacking in courtesy, TO say the least,
but when they come to read the expla-
nation given by Representative WILSON
in this mornings REGISTER they will re-
alize that they have been too exacting
in some instances, and quite unreason-
able in others.
The mail that is received each day by
the individual members Of the Congress
sional delegation is simply astonishing.
Indeed, il looks as II about one-fourth
OF the Democrats in the State had bro
ken loose and are in regular correspond
ence with the NJ C.'s, and it is not too
much TO say that each member would
be compelled to engage several type
writer's TO keep abreast Of the process
sion, and then some.
The REGISTER believes that every
thing is being done by the delegation
that is possible in the interest Of appli-
cants for office, but until visit to
Washington is made and the modus
operandi Of doing things is seen, and
il is understood how powerless
the delegation is TO accomplish
anything after reaching GER
tain point until the head, or heads, are
ready TO act, there will be disposition
10 blame the delays to inattentlon or
lack OF interest on the part Of Congress
men.
Aud just here it may be stated that
until the President appoints the Com
missioner Of Internal Revenue, little or
nothing can be done about the subor-
dlnate offices in the Treasury Depart
ment. The head Of the department
must be placed first. then the subordin-
ate positions will follow rapidly.
As the President has intimated that
he has important business with the Sen
ate which absorbs a large part Of his
time, it is more than probable that sew
eral days will yet elapse before West
Virginia Democrats can claim their
own.

A BASE REPUTATION

AgaInSt West Virginia Miners-They Re-
sent the Assertion that They Cannot
Read.
COLUMBUS, o. April 12.-The United
Mine Workers Of America went into Sc
cret session this morning on the wage
question. Before the doors were closed
a motion to compel miners to subscribe
to trade journal was objected TO on
the ground that the West Virginia MI

West Virginia who holly resented the
statement.

KRUPP's big 124-ton gun requires 1000
pounds Of powder for charge, which
will propel a proiectile of several hun
dred pounds sixteen miles. 1t is said a
battle-ship equipped with such gun
could steam by the Long Island coast
and drop a shell on the City Hall in
New York. But as a counter irritant,
could not little torpedo boat make a
bee line for the ship and blow her and
her gun out of the water higher than

missions will be very careful not to get
too close TO Uncle Sans electric torpedo

This Is too bad, too bad! The New
York Herald says: ut is popularity
supposed that paper money, however
soiled by lndlscriminate use, is not cap
able Of conveying any serious amount
Of infection, and hence 1t is not uncom-
mon to see 1t handled without caution.
But it Is not certain that the infection
In bank notes is in6nlteNmal or insight
fcant. Few persons smitten down with
erysipelas, diphtheria, tuberculosis,
typhoid and other microbian diseases
can find out how they contracted the
disease. But perhaps in not few cases
the malady has been derived from the
paper currency, which unfortunately
cannot be disinfected."
Are we to forego the pleasure Of fin
gering our greenbacks because they
may contain ia some nook or corner Of
their oblong surface microbian disease
germs? Some may shun them as they
would arsenic or opium and demand
silver, even though it be heavy bur
den, but as for us, We could not change
II we would, for there would be such q
load OF it to tote around. Neither would
we II we could, for the greenback, how
ever old and soiled, has fascination and
hold upon us, far more powerful than
the last stages Of the rum habit has
upon its victim.
We shall stick to the greenbacks and
risk the dread bacili.

A FIELD OF SKULLS.
AS Seen on the Field of Malvern Hill
After the Battle.

Atlanta Constitution: Il think the
ghastliest sight l ever saw said Sheriff
Barnes recently, was during the late
war on the field of Malvern Hill. l
was in the battle, and q more terrible
battle | never witnessed. But that is
not the exact time to which l refer.
About year after the battle was
fought my regiment was ordered out
into the neighborhood of the same old
field. We went over the very same
ground, and there in the open field, eX-
posed to the torrid sun, were bleaching
the bones Of our comrades who fell in
that awful engagement. 1t was q sight
l shall never forget. On every side lay
aWaste OF skulls-skulls of almost every
shape and size-a modern GOlgotha.
We could not identify them, however,
and could only gaze with a feeling of
sorrow on the aggregate pile of human
heads that once been full of life and
feeling. After the deeper emotions eX-
cited b. the spectacle had worn away,
| thought Of the infinite variety of
shapes that were presented by the
heap. There were no two Of the same
shape or size, and it was rather a matter
Of curious, though melancholy, interest
to inspect the different skulls as they
lay crumbling in the sultry atmosphere
of that August day. It was after all,
a mournful sight, and one that was
full of abiding pathos, to think that all
that was left of the gallant men that
figured in the fight of that eventful day
was a lot of skulls that were now be-
yond recognition, and that would soon
be a part of the dust Oh which we were
standing. Such is a picture of that
awful sight, and only one of the many
horrid scenes in the portraiture of war.
