The Parkersburg journal seems
to take fendish delight in abusing
Mr.. Capehart, the member of con-
gress from this district Probably
its editor is mad because Mr.. Cape
hart had much to do with the edi-
tors removal from the Office of In
ternal Revenue Collector. If Mr..
White had not been such a vile and
bitter partisan. he would probably
have held his fat office a few months
longer. The people of this district
know Mr.. Capehart, and know this
fellow White, also. Comparisons
are said to be odious, but in this
case Mr.. Capehart stands way
above the partisan editor who seeks
to bring him down to his own level.
The journal may rant and abuse
Mr.. Capehart all it may and he will
continue to pursue his high and
honorable walk in life, and the
dirty and indecent attacks made
upon him by the Journal will not
in the least disturb him. He is
not to be scared by the bark of a
puppy. The great fear of the Journ-
al is, that the Democratic party may
nominate him for third term in
congress, in which event the Journal
sees not even fighting chance for
a Republican being elected to con-
gress from the Fourth District,
hence these abusive articles that
appear from time to time in the
Parkersburg Journal.

MONEY FOR MEsT YIRGINIA.
She win get s153,00O Under Senate
EanIkner,s New Bill.

-kNGN AlAAAe
Senator Faulkner, of West Yir-
ginia, has introduced in the senate a
bill to refund TO West Virginia the
money paid the officers of the One
Hundred aud Thirty third Regi-
ment of West Virginia militia for
services rendered during the civil
war. The amount involved is $685.
600 and when paid will go into the
general treasury of West Virginia.
The bill was introduced last session
and passed unanimously by the
Senate, but failed to receive action
in the House. 1t viii be recalled
that Congress in 1862 levied direct
tax upon each State, which tax, by
the act of 1890, whether paid by
individuals or State, was refunded
and the amount unpaid by other
States %as adjusted. The Comp
troller of the Currency decided that
as there was trust fund held by
the Secretary of the Interior due to
to the Indian account, composed in
part of Virginia bonds procured by
the government prior to the separa-
ton of that State into Virginia and
West Virginia that it had right to
Withhold the payment of this direct
tax of s153, 600 due West Virginia,
and credit the same upon these State
bonds issued by the State of Vir-
ginia prior to the separation. The
matter was referred to Attorney
General Miller, who held that West
Virginia was bound for an equitable
proportion of the debt of Virginia
prior to the separation, according to
the agreemet of the ordinance of
separation. He declined to decide
the question of fact as to whether
anything was due upon that equi-
table settlement. The Committee
on Claims of the Senate, under re-
port made by Senator Faulkner
unanimously held that the Federal
Government could not inquire into
and adjust matters between the
States of Virginia and West Vir-
ginia growing out of the separation
of the State, and that, as the bonds
were not bonds or obligations of the
State of West Virginia under the
provisions of the statute authorizing
the Secretary of the Treasury to
Withhold fund due State, this fund
was improperly withheld and should
be paid over. This position was
unanimously Endorsed by the Senate
after full debate. 1t is, therefore,
anticipated that there will be no
difficulty in passing it this session.

SEALS AND SMOKE.

We dare say that the statement of the United States counsel before the inter- national tribunal at Paris, that smoking was not permitted on the fur seal islands, was somewhat misinterpreted by those who took it down, because it was ob- viously an incorrect assertion. What the counsel no doubt intended to say, and very likely did say, was this: That those in charge of the fur seal island are com pelled to exercise the greatest vigilance to prevent these highly susceptible ani- mals from quitting their breeding places. One thing that is excessively annoying to them is smoke. They apparently can not breathe the air that has even small admixture of it except with extreme dis comfiture. In the little settlements upon the fur seal islands, which are all of them mile or two distant from the nearest rookery or breeding place of the seal, it has been found that when by any chance the wind blows the smoke from the chim- neys toward the rookery the seals instan- tly set up moaning indicative of physi- cal distress, and if this nuisance to them is allowed to continue indefinitely, they desert the rookeries and take to the water And yet to the human senses the eviden- ces of an admixture of smoke in the air may not be perceptible a few hundred feet from the place of it's origin. On this ac- count the wind has to be watched, and when its effect is to blow the chimney smoke in the direction referred to, it is considered expedient to immediately put out the fires. It is not likely that the mere smoking of pipe or cigar, except in the vicinity of a rookery, would have the effect claimed, although it might be thought advisable to lay down rules for those passing to the windward of one of these breeding places that they should not, during such passage, smoke tobacco. s-Pr0Uidence Journal

A boy In Wichita. Kan. schools has
been suspended for reading the follow.
ing essay on pants: Pants are made
for men, and not men for pants. Wo-
men are made for men and not pants.
When a man pants for q woman. or q
woman pants for a man. they are a
pair of pants. Such pants don't last
long. Pants are like molasses, thin
ner in hot weather and thicker in
cold. The man In the moon
changes his pants during an eclipse.
Men are often mistaken in pants.
Such errors produce breeches of prom
Use. There has been much discussion
as to whether pants is singular or plu-
raj. Seems to us that when men wear
pants they are plural and when they
don't it's singular. Men get on a tear
and tear their pants and it is all right;
but when pants go on tear its all
wrong.
