Tho Tariff in West Virginia

West Virginia Is so rich In coal and
Iron, and there is such a strong feeling
tn that State in favor of protecting these
interests that the Democrats there will
lind Il next to impossible to stand upon
The national Democratic platform and at
The same time commend themselves 10
The support Of the classes who believe in
protection as good many Democrats
shere do. We have been amused at the
efforts OF some OF our Democratic con-
temporaries in that State TO hold with
lbe hounds and run with the hare-their
ustenpt to strengthen the hands of Mr..
Wilson. of that state. chairman OF the
Committee OF Ways and Means Of the
national House of Representatives. who
has charge OF the tariff. and at the same
fine secure the appreciation OF the Dem
pcrats who believe in "a little protec-
lion" and are willing to organize within
The Democratic party new Randall
tarty or Hancock party. based upon the
assumption that the tarir question Is a
local one. A large majority OF the Dem
pcratic papers OF West Virginia seem to
b. disposed to censure Governor Mac
Corkle for having appeared before Mr.
Wilson's committee and asked that pro-
section to the interests of his state be
continued They DO not damn the Gov
ernor with faint praise, but praise him In
directly BY advocating exactly the same
Sort ot tann which he Is supposed 70

most outspoken in condemning Governor

Our Charleston contemporary must have
laughed In It's sleeves when It threw the
following sop 10 the coal and iron men.

The Gazette IL accused OF favoring the
removal Of the whole OF the tariff on coal.
The Gazette favors nothing OF the kind,

IN compliance with the demands OF the

LONDON, Apl. The report of the
commissioners sent by the Lancet, the
Leading m1di al Journal of Grea;
Britain. to make an cxamir a.iom regard
ing the sanitary condition OF Chicago
with view to the better information
of British visitors to that city during
the coming worlds fair, states that all
samples Of Chicago river water exam
incl showed an appalling pollution by
animal refuse indiscriminately mixed
with common sewage. The pollution
begins at the mouth of the Chicago
river, and increases until the maximum
is reached in the vicinity Of the stock
wards. near the southern branch of the
pumping station, where the filthy con-
ditions deiied description. At certain
points the condition Of the Chicago
river was worse than that OF
crude sewage. The smell Was
vile and nauscating. The tenn
parature of the Chicago river water
varied from thigty-three degrees Fab
renhcit at the mouth OF the river to II
degrees at the stockyards, while the
temperature Of the air did mol exceed

conclude that the condition of the
Chicago river in summer would be

of Lake Michigan failed to furnish any
distinct evidence of serious pollution.

lake water for drinking, since not a

were found floating. In the lake
samples nothing to suggest that the
water was not well suited for domestic
purposes was found. ''It may he said

would lie no chemical objection TO CO.

FRANK WARD KILLED.-Frank X.
Ward. the man who shot and killed
Maurice Adler in Washington four
years ago, was run over and killed near
that city about 9 o'clock last night by
a car on the Brightwood Electric Road,
about midway between Brightwood
and the city. As the car approached,
the motorman, Neil NJ. Sweet, saw
Ward standing beside the track, hold
ing on to one of the poles that support
the trolley wires. He was not in the
way OF the car, and as he gave no sig
nal to indicate that he wished to board
it Sweet did not slaciien the speed at
which it was running. When the car
was within few feet OF him Ward
suddenly lurched forward and fell
directly in front of it. The wheels
passed over him, killing him instantly
and mutilating his body. Ward, it is
said, was under the influence of liquor,
and many supposed that he committed
suicide. Ward established himseifyears
ago in the dairy business and became
for time very prosperous. His pros
perity, however, started him on a
career of reckless dissipation, which
eliminated in his business failure and
the killing of Maurice Adler in the
Marble Saloon. Ward was thought
then to be insane. He succeeded in
re-establishing himself in business, but
resumed his former habits and con-
tinued them until his death last night.

married Randoyno Shedd. Watson
went to Kansas, but aiterward return

wife were found dead. Mrs. Shedd's
throat had been cut with Il butcher
knife and her head split with an axe.
Mr.. Shodd was found with his throat
cut from ear to ear. 1t has always
been supposed that Shedd murdered
his vile and then committed suicide.
Something had preyed upon Watson's
mind since that time which led him TO
seek death in q similar way and last
night he cut his throat and died.
