EVEN Senator stewart tongue mas
stopped its wagging.
SENATOR HILLyesterday introduced
some important additions to the Sen
ate rules. They need revising.
IT was not necessary to adopt the
cloture rule resolution, efterall But
it was necessary to threaten to adopt
it,
THE decisive vote by which the re-
peal bill passed Congress showStora
certainty that free coinage of silver
is in the far future.
Now push ahead the tariff reform
bill and the repeal Of the federal cleo
tons law. That's what the Demo
Gratis were put in power for.
WEST VIRGINIA's exhibit at the
Worlds Fair will probably be re

IN speech at Boston the other
dav ex-Speaker Thomas b. Reed ex-
pressed the opinion that good trade
was better for the colored man than
all education.
A CLOTURE rule in the United States
Senate would be Il very handy thing
to have in reserve. 1t might never
be used, rs the knowledge of. its ex-
istence would probably be sufficient.
ALL honor to Senator Daniel w.
Voorhees,, the tall sycamore of the
Wabash. for his able and successful
management of the repeal bill. lie
won a great victory from powerful
opponents.
Now that the unnecessary purchase
of silver has been stopped, let the
Democratic leaders devise wise and
honest financial legislation that will
be for the greatest good to the great
est number.
THE silver-mine owners will not like
losing their best customer, the United
States government. Still, they ought
to be thankful that they have been
allowed TO enjoy their picnic as long
as they have.
THE passage of the silver repeal bill
is a great victory for President Cleve-
land 1t took courage to stand as
firmly ard us unyielding as he stood
on this question right straight along,
but it was the only way TO win.
THERE is an extremely wide chasrn
Just now between the silver Senators
of the West aud the Republican Sen
ators who voted for the repeal bill.
The former say that the latter need
never count upon receiving aid from
them.
MARRYING seems to be catching
among West Virginia statesmen. The
engagement of Congressman John ..
Pendleton and Miss Genevieve Ar
mold, of Lewis county, is announced,
and another happy event will soon be
celebrated.
IT now transpires that five Of the
new war vessels recently added to our
navy are top-heavy-that is, they
have been loaded down with an arm
ament out of proportion to their size.

THERE is report that Hon. q
Washington Tippett, who is now pub
fishing a paper at Point Pleasant, is
to have charge of new daily to be
established at Charleston, our State
capital. We have no doubt Mr.. Tip
petit would make his paper interest
ing-as long as it might last.

WE notice in the papers the state
ment that the Davis Coal and Coke
Company is making large shipments
of its products to Mexico, and that
the trade to that country Is rapidly
increasing. This is the company that
can compete with foreign coal in for
eign parts but cannot meet foreign
competition at home. We reckon il
can do it when it has to.
THE great Worlds Fair is over. It
official life ended last Monday, and
though its gates are still open to Wis
itors, the work. of removing the ex.
hibits and dismantling the buildings
has already commenced. All the
buildings are to be torn down, ex-
cept the art building. The total nun
Der of paid admissions was 81, AT, 2l2.
After all debts are paid there will be
about a million dollars left to distrib-
ute among the stockholders

The shooting down in cold blood
of the mayor of Chicago by vicious
crank is one of those unpreventable
crimes for which the law provides
inadequate punishment. Hanging
is too good for such monster. There
ought 10 be some summary punish
ment, so swift and terrible, that it
would be for many years lesson un-
forgotten. To turn this particular
murderer over to the tender mercies
of a band Of Sioux Indians would
meet public appreciation just now.
