rARrIsAN1sm VS.. PArRIorIsaI.

It is a pitful spectacle the Republi
can leaders in and ont of Congress are
presenting to the country. The other
day Ton REED, the boss Of the Repub-
iicaus in the House, ragged and spat
venom because the Republican minority
was worsted in it's fight to prevent
legislation. REED tainted the Demo
Gratis with adopting his own rules,
which they and the country so emphati-
cally condemned. But REED knows
they are not his rules and are totally
different, both in purpose and in opera
ton. His bullying amounted to naught.
Then we have the New York Tribune
boldly advising the Republican Sena-
tors to decline to assistin securing a vote
on the repeal bill.
And, then, the other night the lead
ers Of the Republican caucus at Wash
ington, though it took no decided &C
ton, plainly indicated their desire to
nave lub AtBG1i VI tuO OAO4 lAAAu IL ~ W.
feated simply to show the incompe-
tency Of the Democrats, or In other
words to put the Democrats Sin hole"
and further embarrass the administra-
ton and if possible renew the financial
stringsncy. They would make pOlisi-
cal capital at the expense Of having the
revivlng business Of the country suffer
a relapse.
How do American business men and
the great majority of the American
people relish this attempt Of the Repub-
lican leaders in Congress and Republi-
can organs out Of Congress TO turn
down their twice rendered and en-
phatic yerdict-to defeat the legislation,
which the country has demanded, by
hlibustering, simply in ordertO blame
it all on the Democrats.
The Republican leaders have proven
themselves unpatriotic and unfit to be
Entrusted with the confidence of the
people.

The Coroner,s Inquest.

reference to the Big Four wreck, Orville
Duncan, fagman on section one, said
tonight that he noticed the second sec

mile away. He waved his lantern
across the rear of the vestibule and
shortly heard the engineer Of his train
whistle for a flag. At that time the
first section was running about fifteen
miles an hour. Jumping of he ran
back waving his lantern. The engineer
answered his flag and as he turned TO

would have given the absurd testimony
they did before the Ways and Means
Committee, which has thrown the Intel
Hqcneer into such fury Of parti-
san delight that it has got
tangled up completely with its
own argument. One OF the most prom
inent coal operators in the Kanawha
Valley stated only the other day that
the coal Industry Of the Kanawha Val
ley needed no protection whatever,
that the industry would be better off
than it is at present were the tariff re-
moved entirely. This is q corrobora-
ton OF the statement Of Mr.. BERwIND,
the largest soft coal dealer in Philsdel-
phia, referred to above, who declared
that the tariff tax on coal was not only
an utter absurdity as matter Of pro-
lection, but 1t actually hlndered
US very seriously in obtaining
markets for our bituminous
coal abroad. Canada imposes reel
procity tax on coal equal TO ours, and it
will be made free there at any time
that it is made free here, and Mr.. BER-
WIND stated that if one had open doors
to the Canadian markets, while New
England along the border might obtain
500, 600 to 100000 toas of Nova Scotia
coal that would greatly benefit their
industries, we would sell 100000 tons
Of our coal in the Canadian markets.
Our own coal is cheaper and better
than Canadian coal and the tariff is
simply hindrance to the development
Of the industry in the United States. 1t
not only does not protect labor but him
ders its enlargement and under its oper-
alton wages have steadily declined.
The benefciaries of Republican tariff
legislation who have been growing fat
ever since the war of American labor
took their last trek in 1883.
They can fool the American people
and American labor no longer.

CHICAGO, September 21.-This was
an extremely dsagreeable day at the

heated winds blew the dust in every
conceivable place. This did not, how
ever, have any perceptlble effect on the

who arrived this morning, and when
Gov. Boies arose to speak in Festival hall
he looked out over one of the largest
audiences ever assembled within It's
walls. At the conclusion OF the exer-
cises the governor and party were driv-
en- to the administration hall where the
governor rang the new liberty bell In
honor Of the seyenty-fourth anniversary
OF Iowa's admission 10 the Union. To-
night there were fireworks on the lake
froRt.

107,402. Total, 230,045.
CHICAGO, September 2l.-The cXecu-

Is unfit to drink. The wells have been

A Well Known and Respected Lady
Passes Away.

Mrs. Efio NJ Russell, lady who has
great many friends in this city and

at the residence of DR.. Campbell
out the Bethany Pike. Mrs. Russell
had been in i'll health for several months
past and was taken with a sudden chill
while returning home with Mrs. Camp
bell last Friday from the city. The

as pneumonia aud the lady grew worse
until death ended her pain.
Mrs. Russell will be remembered as a
lady OF noble character and loyabe dis
position. She was 81 years Of age and
leaves a husband, VIM. II. Russell, Of
Fredericksburg, Va, and three chill
dren, Mrs. Hildreth, OF Elm Grove,
Mrs. Thos. P. Anshutz and q son at
Fredericksburg. An especially sad
feature is that Mrs. Russell'S daughter,
Mrs. Anshutz, who was married the

ately for Paris, sailed September 18th
with her husband on the return to Phil
adelphia. She knows nothing OF her

Char!eston gazette.

Those West Virginia Democrats who
have gone 10 Washington TO protest against
a reduction of the tariff tax on coal are
evidently of the kind that think more OF
their pocketbook than of their principles.
Ii is one Of the cardinal doctrines OF the
Democratic party that many shall not be
taxed for tne benefit Of the few and that is
what the tariff on coal amounts to, If the
claims of the coal men are true-that 1t en-
ables them to get more for their coal than
they would otherwise get. IT it is right
to protect the Kanawha coal operators 1t
is right to protect Mr.. Carnegie and all the
iron and steel men and other producers
and to make the consumers pay the IN
crease. If il is wrong TO protect the iron
and steel industry,it is wrong to protect the
coal operators ana the Democratic party Is
firmly set against it, The sentiments Of
the Democracy of West Virginia were not
expressed by the directly interested par
ties who appeared before the ways ana
Means Committee yesterday.
Neither do we believe that their position
was well taken that the tariff tax is neces-
sary to keep out foreign competition, and
to enable the operators to pay the miners
what thay do West Virginia has the best
coal and the most coal of any State in the
Union and il il can't compete in open mar
ket with foreign coal the whole coal indus
try of the country must shut up shop. The
Gazette would like TO see the coal operators
make lots of money and pay their men bet
ter wages than they do, but this is not the
way to bring it about.
We regret to see Democrats abandoning
their principles for the sake Of personal
gain and repeat that tue party in the State
will not approve it.

Republican Politician Operators.

Republican Pc iticlan Operators
P5rkorsbli-g Sentinel
A number of gentlemen from Charlie ston
have gone to Washington to protest before
the committee on Ways and Means against
any reduction in the tariff on coal.
They are Democratic for revenue only.
A protective tariff is right or it is wrong:
We believe il TO be right in principle and
oppressive in It's operation. And the
people said last fall that they were OF tho
same opinion. They voted IN an over
whelming manner in favor Of complete
change in the tariff system. And the
change they voted for was revenue tarlh
instead OF IA protective tariff.
The tariff on coal benefits no one except
the coal operator. II brings no more wages
to the miner. 1t increases the price to the
consumer.
The very essence Of a protective tarih IS
that the consumer shall be taxed for the
benefit of the operator or manufacturer
There are q thousand consumers to one
miner of coal, and the protective tariff
says that thousands shall be taxed 70 bring
profits to the pockets of the one.
Such a proposition Is not only wrong,
but it is undemocratic,
The Charleston committee should align
themselves with conditions as they exist,
and under a revenue tariff ceal is neces-
sarily protected to some extent.
