WHEELING, APRIL 10, 1894.
Mr. Camden,s Successor.

Speaking OF tho senate OF the next
Congress the Chicago lntr Ocean says
"thcre is good chance for a gain in
New Jersey, some chance for it in West
Virginia, but the other states in the list
now having Democrats are pretty sure
to retain them"
West Virginia is entitled 10 this hon
orable mention. 1t is in West Virginia
as it is in Illinois, the Democrats have
iuggled the districts OF the state in such
q way as, according to their figuring, to
make impossible Tor a long time the
election OF 4 Republican to the United
States senate.
The Gerrymander did make the task
more difficult. but the cour.e OF the
Democratic party since then has been
removing obstacles at a rapid rate.
Democrats who do not believe in free
trade and could not be made to believe
that their party was on that line, are
Hooking to the Republican standard.
Unless the signs arc all misleading,
the ratio OF change is as great in West
Firginiaa in any state in the Union.
In addition to the tariff policy OF the
Democratic party is its general imbe-
cility in legislation and administration.
Everything is helping the Republican
cause.
Republicans cannot guarantee to de-
liver a Republican senator to succeed
Mr.. Camden, but they will do their
best in that behalf, aud will open the
campaign with good prospect OF success.
Our friends elsewhere may be encour-
aged to know that the protectionists OF
West Virginia are not asleep.

Why Not the Whole rruth2


The Carnegie rmo scandal does not
down. Washington is full OF it Tho
people want TO know all therei is to know
about It II the navy department can.
not satisfy this interested curiosity Con.
Iress should take up the matter and 10
into it thoroughly.
In the discussion Of the subject the
arrlor plate is spoken Of as defective
and therefore seriously impairiug the
strength OF tho ships on which it has
been used. Ii tho secretary Of the
treasury has been accurately reported
and has stated the case as it is, this is
not true.
The secretary said the plates were
good, but not up to the highest pos.
siblo standard of excellence. This is a
very different matter from palming of
on the government plates properly
called defective. Nothing in the whole
affair is more remarkable than the
willingness of the Carnegie company to
rest under suspicion OF q guilty knOwl-
edge Of what was going on.
To m outsider it seems OF the highest
importance 10 that company that its
skirts may be cleared SO far as corrupt
intent is concerned. So long as the
company does nothing to show clean
hands there will be a suspicion that its
hands are not clean, and not even the
high standing OF the officers OF that cor
poratiOn will save them from the logical
conclusion.

some enquiries in respect to a

seek his fortune in Texas, and had
not since been heard of and he had
an idea that a man named Rose

Alamo at the time of Santa Annals

made a most remarkable and
hardly credible escape, was
his missing brother. How this
may be l don't know, but | do
know that some time ago man

the originator of the story that

An Historic Site.

The old building on Commerce
street formerly occupied by the
hardware store and Sartor jewelry
establishment, now torn down to
give place to an elegant new struc-
ture, was built in 1S49 by the own
er of the property, then running
back to the river and taking in the
whole block, Mr.. J. McMullen, who
was murdered some years later by
supposed robbers. Mr.. Sartor
has occupied the place since
1850, and purchased it in 1857. In
building in the rear of his front
store in 1858 he dug up some $500
in silver money, which is thought
to have been buried there for near
ly one hundred years. More money
may have been buried on this
ground and the contractor and
workmen, in excavating, are keep
ing a sharp lookout for such.
