The terrible experience Of Prof. KING,
the aeronaut, and a foolish young
woman, whom he permitted to 90 up
with him in his ascent from the Fair
grounds, at Cbicago,is so common in the
annals Of ballooning as scarcely to excite
comment.
They were blown out over Lake Mich
fQau and rescued from death in the nick
OF time by vessel. It is so common
indeed as to leave no room for astonish-
ment expect at the fact that the law
does not prevent such triding with
human life.
At the recent West Virginia State
Fair the experience Of one Of the at
tendants engaged ia Initiating the bal
loon was even more terrifying. His
foot became entangled in the balloon
ropes just as it was cut loose and he
shot up with it feet first. lie escaped
death by little less than miracle.
Every balloonist risks his life in
every ascension and a parachute jumper,
under the most favorable conditions,
seldom escapes without bruises OF a
more or less serious nature, while an
awful death constantly hovers over
him.
We can admire and encourage the
balloonist who ascends in the interest
OF science, but the bauOOnist whose
object is simply q display Of daredevil
Try should be placed under the ban Of
the law

Discriminating Against the Ohio River
Railroad.

It isa matter OF surprise that orders
should be issued by the officials Of the
West Virginia National Guard for the
transportation Of the troops around
through Ohio instead o! directly down
the river via. the Ohio River railroad,
to their camp OF Kanawha City this
year. 1t is now proposed that the
Guard shall pass through Parkersburg
to Athens, Ohio, thence to Gallipolis,
and thence via. Point Pleasant to some
point on the X. & NJ, whence they will
walk to their camp. The first route
proposed was through Parkersburg,
thence via. the O. R. r. to Huntington
and thence via c. 81 o. direct TO their
camp. This latter route is a direct
and convenient one, and the proper
one.
The Ohio River railroad is a West
Virginia road; it is wholly within the
State; its employees are largely from this
State; it is large tax payer; it is the
only direct route connecting the lower
and upper parts of the State; 1t offers a
fair rate and unexceled accommoda-
tions for the transpor alton OF the
Guard. And no reason, no good reason
is given for hauling the soldiers around
through Ohio, when shorter, quicker,
more direct route is wholly within the
borders Of our State.

As the newspapers Of the country
reflect public sentiment so do they
in their Improvements or their de-
cadence, as the case may be, reflect
the prosperity, or the reverse, OF their
constituencies. a prosperous press is
sure sign of a prosperous community,
since it is the medium of public express
sion in business, as we'll as social and
political affairs.
West Virginia has cause to congratu-
late herself. The recent improvements
made in the local press in almost every
section Of the State is a barometer
whose signs are especially encouraging.
The editor Of the country weekly is Of
necessity close to the people on whose
patronage he depends, and his prosper
ity is simply the shadow OF theirs.
In Yves, Virginia the number and
character Of the improvements in the
country press are too numerous to men

A RldIculous weapon.

1.-The most ridiculous weapon known
TO modern warfare is the bayonet,
said Col. Michael Galloway, a guest
OF the Southern. "Civilians seem to
suppose that the bayonet plays an
important part in all battles-that
the tide is invariably turned by this
romantic, mp-shouldered frog
sticker. Now, as a matter OF fact,
you could bury in ten-acre lot all
the men who have been killed with
the bayonet during the past century,
and the graves would not be crowded,
either. The bayonet is supposed to
transform regiment Of musketeers
into Macedonian phalanx for close
fighting, but it doesn't. 1t supplies
the place of neither the spear of
Greece nor the short-sword Of Rome.
1t is hybrid weapon, fit only to prod
camp lolterers with. A regiment
will come sweeping up to a breast
work with fixed bayonets, but once
inside the men turn the butts of
their guns or go for their side-arms.
They realize that the bayonet is but
a dress parade weapon. In our mod
ern battles the antagonists seldom
come into actual contact. Battles
are now fought with bullets instead
OF bayonets, and the latter, always a
clumsy affair of doubtful utility, has
become an altogether worthless in
cumbrance. Gen. Grant recommend
ed that it be abolished In the United
States service and the six-shooter
substituted for close fighting. The
recommendation was good one.
While the bayonet is the most worth
less of all weapons invented by man,
the six-shooter is the most deadly
short-range tool ever devised. Give
me a club three feet long, and I'll
whip any man who tries to bayonet
me; give me six-shooter, and I'll
make bad break in any column of
bsyOnets. Globe Democrat.

A LOT of Garza's bandits operating
in Texas, on the Mexican frontier,
were caught and brought into the
United States Court. where they were
indicted and held for trial. There
were thirty of the outlaws. When
their cases were called at the recent
session of the United States Court at
Galveston, they were discharged on
motion of the United States District
Attorney. No trial was had. Pos
sibly there was not sufficient testi-
mony in these cases to convict the in
dicted men. But they ought to have
been brought to trial that the fact OF
their guilt or innocence might have
been judicially determined. This
Government should not be placed in
position where it can be suspected
justly of connivance with the enc.
mics of friendly neighbor.

A TENNESSEE judge named Spring
field, presiding over court at Chat
tanooga, has ideas Of administering
justice resembling the practice OF
Robin Hood, who stole from the rich
and gave the plumber to the poor He
has announced that no person in
necessitous circumstances will be
punished in his court for stealing coal
from the coal trust. Several men and
women who had been arrested fol
depredationS on the ring coal yards
were discharged. Judge Springfield
has original notions of equity not
exactly in conformanec with modern
legal methods of jurisprudence. But,
with the thermometer at 10 below
zero and coal at trust prices, the ma
tive sense of justice makes strong APP
peals to a merciful magistrate.
