WELCOME.

The INDEPENDENT Joins with cur
whole community in welcoming to
our town the soldiers of West Vir-
ginia. We trust that in the encamp-
ment they will ac9uit themselves
like men, undergo rigorous disci-
pline as becomes a soldier as we'll as
a man, and thereby be ever ready to
maintain law and order. Some tax
payers growl about these things, but
it is error so to do. 1t may be a
blessing never to need them but they
may be a God-send when we doneed
them. We hope our home company
may double in numbers and signals
be arranged by the authorities to
meet Coxeyites or other travelling
gangs. Welcome, thrice welcome
We soldiers, aud please remember
that while it is your duty to main
tain law and order you must not VIC
la.e these principles yourselves.

THE CONTEMPT CASE

The public has been surteited with
stuff about an imaginary contempt of
Court on the part of the Council and
Mayor of Martinsburg. Truth is,
there is nothing in it. The gentle
men fined were recognized by Judge
Faulkner as the friends and patrons
of law and order, and as his friends,
and that they simply made an unin-
territorial use OF judgment as any
official may by swearing in man who
they had concluded was rightfully
elected, after writ of certioari had
been served upon them. They de-
clared in their answer that no con-
tempt was intended, thus purging
themselves under the law and Judge
Faulkner, recognizing these gentle
men to be good and worthy citizens
Of Martinsburg, though of a different
political faith, acted accordingly.
Rumor has it, that headstrong polit-
ical founders desired aud expected
fearful vengeance against these gen
tlemanly republicans, expecting 10
use even the Judges political ten
ents in their cause. That will not
do-better leave that alone, for every
man, white or black, christian or
heather, Jew or Gentle, democrat or
republican, must have equal and ex-
act impartial justice before the Ju-
dietary, otherwise law is lawless, the
people outraged and government
