4 NEW GOVERNOR
And a New Administration For
West Virginia.
INAUGURATION CEREMONIES
Governor McCorkle's aadress-He deprecates the
Tendency towards Capitalization Of
Government,

Government,
An entire new Democratic admins
was ushered in Saturday at noon in
West Virginia, Governor. elect William
A. MacCorkle, Auditor A. V. johnson,
Treasurer j. NJ. Rowan, Superinten-
dent of Schools Virgil A. Lewis and
Attorney-Gener l.. S. Riley all took
the oath Of Office and the old admins
ton stepped out. An elaborate and
largely attended reception and ball
Friday night started off the ceremonies
most brilliantly. Saturday morning
the Governor and the Governor-elect
were escorted 10 the Capitol by a milf
tary and civic parade. Governor Mac
Corkle delivered his inaugural address
and took the oath Of office. The other
State officers were sworn in and an
other reception followed, the entire
new and old administration being sub
jected to a constant handshaking for
over an hour.
Governor McCorkles inaugural ad-
dress dwelt particularly on the grow
ing centralizing tendency Of the gen
eral government, the appalling and
growing paternalism, and the alarm
ing looseness of the construction Of the
constitution, which call most earnestly
to his mind that the guaranteed rights
of the States may be lost sight Of.
Such tendency and principles have al
ready shown themselves as naturally
lead to decay and excite the fears of
those who love the republic. He says
very vigorously that he proposes that
the rights of this State shall be main
tanned. He deprecates the ownership
of large bodies of West Virginia lands
by non-residents, and invites the immi-
grafton of persons who will settle
among us, and not make their money
here to spend elsewhere. He announces
a very liberal policy to railroads, and
says we never needed so much new
railroad development as now, when we
are competing with Pennsylvania to
supply the markets of the country with
coal. He proposes some changes for
the better in the administration of the
institutions of the States. He con-
graduates his predecessor, Governor
Fleming, on his wise financial admin
1stration, and upholds his veto of the
school tax bill, which has subjected
him to much criticism.

WHAT RUINS OUR TOWN.


One Reason Why Martinsburg Does not Progress
More Rapidly,
Several days ago WORLD solicitor
approached one of the wealthiest men
in the city and asked him to subscribe
for the paper. He replied that he
would if it was not for the fact that he
got to read it anyhow, as his nephew
took it aud he always got to read the
paper when he was through with it.
Upon investigation we find that this
same man walks about two squares
daily to read THE WORLD, and as he
says after his nephew is through.
The real truth Of the matter is that
he is financially able to buy out every
paper in the city, and yet he will walk
two squares a day, and borrow the
paper, before he would contribute ten
cents week to the support of the en-
terprise. These are the kind of people
that injure town instead of helping
it along.
Another like incident happened
within block of the office. A bust
ness man, so-called, was asked to
subscribe. He said no he didn't want
to. When asked if he believed in
aiding the enterprises of the town, he
replied: "Well, not a daily paper, at
any rate. Martinsburg has gotten
along all these years without daily
paper, and | see no reason>why it can't
continue to get along wit h o u t
one" Upon investigation we found
this so-called business mans residence
adjoined boarding house, keep by q
poor woman, and who was regular
and prompt paying subscriber. And
that this mans wife daily sat at her
window and watched for the carrier
boy to leave the paper at the boarding
house. The carrier boy was hardly
allowed time to pass her residence, be-
fore she would send her little son over
and borrow it before the poor sub
scriber had even chance to read it.
These are facts, and true types of
misery greed and pure stinginess.
These two men with others, have re-
tarded the progress of Martinsburg
ever since they have resided here, and
will continue to injure the town as
long as they live in it. Both are prop
erty owners and we'll do, yet they
believe in knowledge at others expense.
| They believe in keeping all they get
and spend nothing. What our town
needs is liberality, not only by the poor,
but by the rich who generally reap the
reward and benefit When our city
gets rid of this class of men, it will
succeed; not before. Such citizens?
would hardly make good fuel to feed
a compaign bonfire, much less cred
it to the community.

A STRONG INSURANCE co.
The National Mutual Insurance Company, Of New
York Ably Managed.

The National Mutual Insurance Company, Of New
York Ably Managed,
For some time past we have careful
ly read and considered the adjusted
rate plan of this company, and in a.
most every respect consider it far SUI
perior to many insurance company of
the present day 1t issues policies to
many persons who by reason of occu-
patton, over or under weight, former
illness, family history, etc., etc., have
heretofore been denied the benefit of
insurance by other companies. This
is done by charging a rate correspond
ing with the risk assumed, the same as
in fire, accident and marine insurance.
Hitherto this idea has been lost sight
of and applicants for life insurance
who could not conform to certain cast
iron rules IN which prejudice often
plays a larger part than common sense,
have been rejected and unable to obtain
protection for their families.
The gentlemen having the manage
ment of this company are widely known
as men of ability and of long and sue
full experience in life insurance, andno
doubt they possess all the quahfca-
tions to make a success in this new
feature of the business. The rates of
the National Mutual are most reasonable;
policies issued contain all the good
features of other Companies, being free
from technicalities, liberal, and not re-
stricted as to travel. We have only
been able to touch upon the merits of
the Adjusted Rate Plan, but sufficient
we think to cause intending insurers
70 investigate before going elsewhere.
The gentlemen having the manage
ment Of its affairs in charge are n. w.
Bloss, president; J. f. Morse and G..
F, Potter, e-presidents; w. G.. Lord.
secretary, and d. E. Anthony, counsel.
They are widely known as men of abili-
ty and of long and successful expert
ence in life insurance, and no doubt
they possess all the qualification neces-
sary to successfully carry out the com
nonsense plan of the company.

Folly of boarding,

1t is really remarkable that SO many
people in this country, who have funds
from which they might earn a good rate
of interest, persist in locking up notes in
safe deposit vaults or pack them awayin
old stockings. Money will earn today
large returns, with the best of real es-
tate security as first class collateral to
protect the lender, and yet a great many
individuals, waiting for they know not
what, decline to take advantage of what
is an unusual opportunity for making
money. The currency of a country is
intended to circulate as evidence of cred
it. If it DOGS not, it becomes absolutely
useless to everybody. In afamine a COM
munity would be no better off if it locked
up millions of barrels of -four than if it
had one at all. The same is precisely
true of money.-Washington News.

Cementin- the Russian Emnire.

The cal of Russia shows undoubted
sagacity in adopting the best physical
means to hold together his vast empire.
He has pushed the transcaspian military
railway so-utheastward until it has al
most reached the frontiers of British In
dia and China, the two powers most
likely to dispute with him the acquisition
of further dominion in Central Asia.
Having thus assured the safety of the
Russian position in the southeast, he has
undertaken a more stupendous work in
beginning the construction of an I'M
broken line of railway to connect Eu-
ropean Russia with a port on the Pacific
ocean The whole length Of the Asiatic
or main Siberian line is 1890 miles.
The estimated cost is $500, 000, 900. The
work, which is now progressing from
both ends toward the center, is to be
completed in about 10 years. There will
then be a stretch of railway, all located
upon Russian territory, about 5000 miles
in length, holding European Russia and
Asiatic Russia firmly together with a
continuous band Of steel. Until the pro-
posed railway running north and south
to connect the two Americas shall have
been built there will be nothing on earth
to rival this great stretch of eastern and
western railway across the Russian EN-
pire,-Omaha Bee.

Browning to CoIeridge.

Browning loaned Lord Coleridge one
of his works to read, and afterward,
meeting the poet, the lord chief justice
said to him: "WhatI could understand
I heartily admired, and parts ought to
be immortal. But as to much of it I
really could not tell whether I admired
it or not, because for the life of me I
could not understand it," Browning re-
piled, eff a reader of your caliber IN
derstands 10 per cent of what l write, I
think 1 ought to be content Fran

WashingtOn's Cabin.

There are few buildings that attract
the admirers of Washington that have
more of interest in them than a decaying
cabin which stands alone in an old pas
ture field a half mile from Berryville, in
the beautiful Shenandoah valley of Vir-
ginia.
The old cabin was the home of Wash
ington when he was a surveyor. He
came here direct from the maternal roof
to begin the arduous and at the time
dangerous work of surveying the lands
of Thomas, Lord Fairfax, who owned
all the northern part of Virginia under
the kings patent. The work was ardu-
u because Of the physical aspect Of the
country, then a dense wilderness, and
dangerous because of the character Of
the inhabitants, who were principally
Indians OF scarcely less wild trappers or
squatters upon his lordship's domain.
Washington had been selected by the
nobleman because of his belief in the
youths ability to cope with these ele-
ments early in 1748, just after the COM
pletion of his sixteenth year. his only
companion being George William Fair
fax, nephew Of old Lord Thomas.
Whether these boys erected the build
ing or found it already IN place history
does not state, but well authenticated
tradition says hat they built it them
selves. That they used it for an Office,
kept their instruments there and slept
in the upper oom there is ample proof.

AT EVENING.

Up1h the hills the wind is sharp and cold.
The sweet young grasses wither on the void,
And we, o Lord, have wandered from thy fold,
But evening brings us home.
Among the mists we stumbled, and the rocks
Where the brown lichen whitens, and the fox
Watches the ~straggler from the scattered
fiocks,
But evening brings us home.
The sharp thorns prick us, and our tender feet
Are cut and bleeding, and the lambs repeat
Their pitiful complaints-oh, rest is sweet
When evening brings US home.
We have been wounded by the hunters darts.
Our eyes are very heavy, and our hearts
Search for thy coming-when the light departs
At evening bring us home.
The arkness gathers. Through the gloom no
star
Rises to guide us. We have wandered far.
Without thy lamp we know not where we are.
At evening bring us home.
The clouds are round US, and the snowdrifts
thicken.
o thou, dear Shepherd, leave us not to sicken
In the waste night; our tardy footsteps quicken.
At evening bring us home.
