The Legislature.

Although the session OF the Legis-
lature is more than half over, conpar-
atively few bills have passed either
house, and no measures Of Importance
have been enacted into laws.
Among the bills that are in q fair
way TO pass both houses is the one to
provide for the erection OF mansion
for the use of the Governor. The
sum OF $4,000 is proposed as an APP
preparation for this purpose.
The Senate has passed a bill pro-
viding that legal executions in thi:
State shall be strictly private.
In the House Mr.. Hansford, for the
Committee on Railroads, reported
with adverse recommendation the
bill to prevent railroads from charS-
ing more than three cents mile for
passenger travel; also the bill prohib
iting the issuing Of railroad passes to
public officers.
Senate bill No. 81. TO establish the
independent school district OF Charles
town, Jefferson county, was amended
and passed.
The West Liberty Normal School
asks the Legislature for an appropri-
alton Of $4,000 for a new school
building.
The Senate committee on education
has decided to report favorably on
the bill to reduce the number OF re-
gents of the State University from
thirteen TO seven.

1T WOULD NEVER DO.

In the Wheeling Register of Monday
last we notice an article which indi-
Gates that Congressman WIN. L. VIII
son has decided to leave the distribu-
ton OF local federal patronage to the
respective Democratic county COM
mittees in the district. This is the
first we have heard Of such a plan,
but we think it will not do at all.
We can very readily believe that
the distribution OF offices is one OF the
most unpleasant things Congress
man has to do, but he should not ex-
pect to get rid OF all the disagreeable
features OF political life. He will
have 10 take the fat with the lean.
We are decidedly of the opinion that
it would be unwise to delegate the
power Of appointment to county sI-
ecutive committee. II such a custom
were to prevail members OF these
committees would no longer be Sc
lected with a view 10 their political
fitness, but because they could be
relied upon to assist this man or that
TO get an appointment.
And then what wrangling would
ensus-what dissensions there would
be in the party. A disappointed can
didate can appreciate Congressman's
position aud can forgive him for not
providing all his constituents with
places. But a man would never for
give lis neighbor for refusal TO sup
port him for Office, and there would
be more personal grudges and politi-
cal snimosities sngendered than could
be wiped out in a lifetime. That
divinity that doth hedge king eT-
tends in a measure TO .Copgressmen
also. and protects them and the party
from the wrath of disappointed Office
seekers. But there would be war TO
the knife we're the distribution OF fed
eral places placed where they would
have TO be settled by brother Demo
Gratis and neighbors.
We are dead opposed to this plan.
We are also against holding local
elections to decide who shall be post
masters. Right here at home the
people of the town have been made
mighty sick over the result OF local
elections. Let these contests be set
tied by our Senators and Congress
men. Let them do the best they can
and the people generally will be satis
fed.

child gathered around him and be-
gan to thrust red-hot irons under his
feet. Every contortion of his body
and every groan that escaped his
lirs brought forth shouts of approval.
yainly he begged for mercy; vain
ly he protested that he did not know
that il was Vance's child he killed.
The red hot irons burned into his
flesh deeper and deeper. He uttered
terrible cries. Finally the irons were
rolled up and down the abdomen and
on the back aud arms. The crowd
kept shouting its approval TO the tor
turers.
The climax was reached when the
irons were thrust into Smiths eyes,
burning them out. Then the irons
were thrust down his throat. The
Vances then declared their ven
geance satisfied.
Then combustible material was
placed under the scaffold, oil was
poured over Smith and the platform,
and a match applied. For time he
was envsloped in smoke. As this dis
appeared and the flames shot up
Smith was seen TO sway back and
forth.
Then he became still, and all
through he was dead. The fire
burned the ropes that bound him,
and he fell upon the burning plat
form. 1t seemed impossible that
anything could live in that furnace.
To the surprise OF all, with q des-
perate struggle he pulled himself up
by the railing OF the scaffold. stood
up. passed his hand over his lace.
and then jumped from the scatioid
and rolled out OF the fire below. Men
on the ground thrust him into the
burning mass again, and life became
extinct.
Hundreds had turned away in hor-
ror from the spectacle, but thousands
shouted with satisfaction and with
demonstrations OF delight.
After the execution the throng dis
persed quietly.

PRESIDENT HARRISON last week
appointed Judge Howell E. Jackson
to be an associate justice Of the Su-
preme Court OF the United States,
vice /. Q. q. Lamar, deceased. Judge
Jackson is a Democrat, and is now
the judge OF the sixth judicial circuit
composed OF Tennessee, Kentucky
Ohio and Michigan. The appoint
ment occasioned considerable COM
ment among politicians and others.
Many of the leading Republicans in
Washington strongly condemn the
President for appointing Democrat.
We think that President Harrison
should not have made any appoint
ment so near to the close Of bis term.
He should have left the appointment
to President Cleveland. We cannot
believe that Mr.. Harrison would have
appointed Democrat had the va.
cancy occurred year ago. 1t would
have been indecent for him to have
appointed Republican at this time.
and we do not see that he is the
proper person to make Democratic
choice. The wisest plan would have
been to keep his hands on of this ap-
po.ntment.

Laboring men seem to learn nothing
at all from the bitter experience they
have had with their strikes during
the past few years They have been
beaten every time, Vet they persist in
a course that has in the past and will
in the future result in nothing but
loss and suffering. Speaking on the
subject ofstrikes the other day Super
intsndent Bennett, of the Pennsylva-
mia Railroad, put the case in nut
shell when he said: ''You take sill
yer dollar and lay it on q shelf for

and be becomes a skeleton. That is
