GUSH.

The propensity to gush or flow
over, without the second sober
thought, has a great hold on human
nature, ard there is only one con
trolling centre for such casualty and
that is the pocket nerve. This is
said to be the most sensitive nerve
of mankind. But when one feels be
throbbing Of the pocket nerve, and
is met by the overflow of gush or
sympathy or hallucinalion that does
not count cost and the drain that
goes from your pocket into the 9th
er fellows pocket, who has better
clothes on than yon have, sleeps
more hours, eats better food, dau-
dies graciously with the obsequious
and smiles so pstronizingly on the
passing acquaintance, what must be
the reaction? Good or bad? Poo
pie too often overlook their own in
terests, their own receipts and their
own expenses in on sfusion to greet
stranger without stopping to Goa
slider as to merits or dement's. To
illustrate, we have had offers to ad-
vertise worthless articles, 90 much
advertising and so much in cash.
We generally reply,-please reverse
matters, we will give you so much
advertising for so much cash. We
never hear from them again. They
want the cash and the gusb; both
their way.

Now that Messrs. Faulkner and
Camden have divided up the State
of West Virginia, and partitloned
the old homestead between them by
agreement, the legislature will have
an excellent opportunity to promote
the interests of the people by good
and wise legislation. They might
take time to investigate the amount
of fees, emoluments and,salary, sur
rounding some of the State Offices,
or let the fees go into the treasury
and relieve the taxpayers. The cost
and expenses of the State institu
tions should be examined. not in a
carsory, but in business-like way,
and where such interests can be ad-
vanced do So, and where excuses
can be curtailsd. do that also. Sew
eral Of the general laws need remod
cling, and there should be no excuse
for failure to make this a working
and fruitful term for good.

COZ. FLEM1Ngs MESSAGE.

Governor A. B. Fleming has for
warded to the legislature his bien
NAL message. He prefaces his re-
marks by calling attention to the
splendid progress Of the State under
the favorable conditions surround
ing. Since 1870 the population has
increased over 70 per cent, and rail
road mileage 1926 per cent. The cen
sus Of 1890 shows increase in wealth
and population as follows: Live
stock, &c per cent; farm crops, 20
per cent; mineral wealth, ia per
cent; mineral products, 224 per
cent. The number of laborers en-
ployed in coal mining has increased
in ten years from 1926 to 1888.
The figures from the Auditors re-
port are quite interesting. The es-
Inmates for the total receipts for the
fiscal year ending Sept. 80, 1894,
reach the sum of 1865 800, of which
Is per cent. il obtained from the
State tax and nearly 81 per cent.
from railroad taxes. The estimated
expenditures for said fiscal year are
$67s,000. Among the recommends
lions by the Governor are TO reduce
the State tax from 25 cents TO 90
cents on 500; to make the number
of precincts in each magisterial dis
trict equal the number of voting
places, and that each voter be re-
quirsd to vote in his precinct and no
other; to repeal the present married
Homan's law and enact one imposing
on them the same liabilities as upon
others not under legal disability an

THE COLD SPELL


The cold spell continues with una
bated iciness, and has caused an en-
ormous consumption Of coal through
out the country. So sudden and I'M
looked for was its appearance, and
so long its contin uance, that neither
dealers or miners were prepared for
tue unusual consumption demanded
The supply is short, and prices have
advanced, thus making it more ex-
psnsive to the consumers The rich
can stand it, but the poor people
are likely to suffer severely, and we
trust the intensity of the cold will
soon sbate.
