pEoPLE OF WEST VIRGINIA.


A Good Story OH Judge Berkshire Told by
Pittsburgh Engineer.
PHs5mgh Times
The presence in Pittsburgh of George
@. Sturgiss, the well known West Vir-
ginia lawyer and politician, reminded a
gentleman yesterday of an experience
with the plain and unassuming people
up about Morgantown. "Iwas fourteen
years younger than l am now when l
visited Morgantown with an engineer
ing corps" no said. ut was only a
narrow gauge road We were laying out,
but we had broad gauge idea OF our
own importance. The people helped
us to it. Very many of them had never
seen railroad train, and, knowing us
to be engineers, some OF them used to
keep looking over their shoulders when
over they were out on the line with us,
Tor fear the engine would run over them.
That road hasn't been built yet, SO far
rs l know, but it was very real to the
people along the line. l was there or
thoreabouts for about month, and
about the only man saw that wore a
whole suit OF clothes, without any
patches on it, was Sturgiss. The people
agreed that he was u big man and 4
powerful talker, but some OF them
thought he put on rather too much
style in his clothes.
"His office was headquarters for our
corps, and | will never forget my ex.
perience the fret time l visited it, one
day when | went there to do some fig
uring while the rest of the corps were
in the field. found the fire low in the
private office, and hailed a middle.aged
man, dressed in an old suit of home-
spun clothes, who was reading the
county paper in tho outer office.
"'Herc! Please put some moro coal
on and fix up n good fire in here lie
did so, and then added:
"Now, if you clear away those ashes,
and tidy the hearth up it will make
things look more respectable
"He did that too, although somewhat
awkwardly and just then in came Mr..
Sturgiss, whom l had mot at the hotel.
"'Hello! Making yourself at home ]
see, ," in his hearty manner. THAT'S
right. You never met my former part

There are several reputable educa-
tional institutions in this country which
profess to fit young mPn for the active
duties Of newspaper work, and, while
there is no objection to colleges estab.
fishing schools OF journalism, it is very
doubtful if many OF the matriculants
will obtain any practical benefit in TAX
ing such course OF training.
A good newspaper man may be COL
loge graduate, but it does not follow
that every college graduate can become
a good newspaper man simply because
he has taken a university course. No
editor will deny that liberal educa-
ton is a benefit TO him or his co-work-
ers, but the point is that it is not the
sine qua non OF a reporter. city editor
managing editor or editorial writer.

of the height to which his aspirations
are directed.

OF "Spartacns" and "Regulus to tho Car

Sunday, although he is past eighty, in
the little church at IIarpswell, Me-, over
which he presided when young man.
The people of his congregation will not
let him retire. "Why," exclaimed one
OF his admirers the other day, "it does

The workmen should meet and pas
resolutions protesting against the daily
ing inaction of their senators and de-
mand that they settle this matter by
coming to vote. The workers must
know that the delay tends to further
impairment OF business confidence and
continuation OF hard times and scant
employment. A further addition to
the load makes matters worse, as the
government is all the time buying sill
yer under the Sherman act, and has
purchased several millions without any
fresh sustaining gold in the treasury,
while Stewart ct nj. have been dia-
coursing their silver rot during this
session Of the senate.

This mornings dispatches relate
the awful tragedy that followed in the
wake Of the gale along the southern
coast. The loss of life is appalling and
almost uncomfortable. The stories OF
the survivors rival any conception one
might have of the horrors that attended
the Noachian deluge.
In this case the death angel camo in
the twinkling Of an eye, riding on the
irresistible winds of disaster.
The power OF the pen is weak in at
tempting to fully portray the hopeless
ness of tho victims, the cries OF agony
and despair that must have risen above
the shrieking OF the gale, and one is
only left to sad and pathetic contempla-
ton and sympathy incapable OF ade.
uuate expression.

Two Consultations.

With regard to the suffrage Missis'
sippi member of tho house Of repre-
sentatiyos is very ready to say that ho
believes in suffrage according to the
constitution OF his state, which, he re-
marks, he has sworn to support He
has sworn, also, to support the constitu-
lion Of the United States, but the other
swear is what no regards as his big
swear.
The constitution of Mississippi as
lately jurgled DISTINGUISHES the colored
voter. This is at once the intent and
the effect. This is tho constitution
which the Mississippi representative
will find it delightful to support, among
other reasons because it makes sure
that he or somo other Democrat will
hold the seat which he now holds down.
To support the constitution Of the
United States in spirit as well as in
letter us it touches this subject would
be to look with indignation and proud
American scorn on any provision OF any
state constitution which denies to any
citizen OF the United States his rights
under tho laws OF his country.
A party which feels that the opposite
course is necessary to the maintenance
of its power is hardly party to ill
Americans with pride.

AS to the issue now pending in the
senate, the belief is entertained in many
quarters that the passage Of the repeal
bill will have to DO conditioned upon
supplementary legislation. The repeal
Bill is in itself an independent measure
which should be dealt with on its own
merits, leaving other legislation to fol-
low in course. There are honorable
ways of disposing Of this matter by con-
cession, in case repeal DO found i'm.
practicable; but no way will be honora-
bic or give satisfaction to the dominant
sentiment of the country which by the
same vote abrogates a mischicvous
statute, and substitutes for it something
still more mischievous.

The Democratic party in tho south is
tooth and nail against the repeal OF tho
Sherman bill, paradoxical as it may
seem, and the senators from the silver
states, as honest as they are in defense
Of free silver, are being made cats paws
Of the solid south.
The speech of Senator Butler in the
senate yesterday is tho key TO the
whole situation, when he cried out,
"Compromise, compromise is the aolu-
ton OF the struggle hereN
1t was the same cry that was raised
in the days before the war, when the
southern people wanted concessions
that wero out of all reason and inimical
to the autonomy OF the United States OF
America under the constitution.
Compromised Compromise on what
The south wants everything freo-freo'
dom to do as it pleases, toarrogantly ride
over the rights of the north and tram
pie under the hoofs OF its mounted brig
adiers the constitution OF. tho Union.
The south is for the repeal of the fed
eral election laws, tho protective tariff
laws and tho state bank tax. 1t is the
same old goat that tried to butt its head
against the iniquity Of slavery and the
folIocy of aiotaa riuhtg
The present compromise scheme is q
catch.penny plot that cannot mislead
tho wayfarlng man, however simple
may be his understanding. The south
is again in the saddle.
