Deaths.

ADAMs-Died at her home at
Laurel Iron Works March 8, OF
pneumonia Mrs. Mary Adams, wife
of John Adams, in the 68th year OF
her age. She was a kind, devoted
woman, a loving mother and an ex-
cellent neighbor. She had been s
member of the NJ. 2. church for
many years. Interment was in the
Baker burying ground.
PRoTzMAN-Early last Wednesday
morning at his home in Morgantown.
John Protzman died, aged nearly Sc
years. He was for some time Nor
gantown's oldest inhabitant and
when last seen on the streets his APP
pearance was strong and would have
deepened the impression that his
days were to yet be many. The i'm
meaiate cause of his death was grip.
He was attacked with this malady
about five weeks ago and it so preyed
upon his vitality as to cause death.
Up to that time all the faculties
were preserved in normal and healthy
condition and his sprightliness and
ability to work we're remarkable. De-
ceased moved to Morgantown from
Hancock, Maryland. when he was
quite a small child, and his home
had been here all the time since. He
had to come under his observation
most of the changes which have oc-
Cured here that mark the progress
of the town to its present condition
from the mere trading post it was in
the long ago time of his youth.
Early in lite, after acquiring such
schooling as was then afforded, he
learned the shoemaking trade, and
always was identified with some
branch of the business. He was
twice married, his first wife being
Priscilla Berkshire, sister Of Judge
r. L. Berkshire. She lived but a
short time. In 1889 ne was married
to Martha D. Wright, of Greene
county, Pa. The issue of this mar
riage was seven daughters, five of
whom survive their parents Their

death but few years. John Protz
man was of large family Of broth
ers, and their children and children's
children have places of abode in
several sections OF this and adjoin-
ing counties. The deceased was al
ways an industrious, law abiding
gentle-dispositioned man, whose high
est ambition was the good and we'll
being of his family, and this loving
care was reciprocated by wealth of
devotion which made his home life
notably pleasant and free from do
nestle discord He first went to
housekeeping in the Col. Thompson
house on Front street, and after the
war removed to the homestead prop
erty on Main street. His was an
honest, upright life, one not filled in
the last days with remorse and vain
regrets. Is not this success in life?

The Right to Work.
State journal.


The riot in the Kanawha valley is
deplorable affair, and it is to be
hoped that nothing more serious will
follow than has already occurred.
Governor MacCorkle is to be com
mended for answering promptly the
call for military assistance.
At this distance from the scene of
action there is but one side to the
question and that is not the side of
the rioters. The story in brief is
this: The miners at the Eagle mines
refused to go out on strike when
the other miners in that field struck.
The striking miners thereupon went
to the Eagle mines, assaulted the
men and tried to compel them to
quit work. The Eagle miners re
sisted, and the riot resulted.
The whole question resolves itself
down to the inquiry whether man
has the right to work if he wants to
and can get employment; and there
can be but one answer To attempt
to compel the Eagle miners to quit
work when they did not want to was
an outrage on their rights and privi-
leges If the striking miners thought
that it would be to their interests
for the Eagle miners to join them in
the strike they had the right to try
to induce them by persuasion or ar
gument to quit but not by force or
violence If any man in the Kama
wha valley or any place else in
America wants to work and can get
employment it is rot the right of
anybody else or any set of men to
prevent him from working.
We hope that Governor MacCor-
kle the militia and the conrts will
see that this right to work when and
now and for what man pleases is
respected in West Virginia.
The striking miners may have
grievances, and just cause for com
plant They also have the right to
quit work unless by so doing thev
violate contract, but they have no
shadow of right to attempt to com
pei by force anybody else to quit.
The sympathy # the country. which
is always with the daily toiler. leaves
him just as soon as he becomes a
participant in riot and anarchy.

a Battle of Dollars.

Says Charles Town West Vir-
ginia special to the Richmond Dis.
patch: Eek Senator Henry G. Da-
Wis, President of the West Virginia
Central road, remarked few days
ago that he had not taken much in
terest in elections since he left the
United States Senate, but that he
proposed to spend considerable mon
ey in the Second Congressional dis
trict to defeat Mr.. William L. Wilson
for Congress. Mr.. Camden, who was
present, said that for every dollar
Mr.. Davis put into the Second dis
trict to defeat Mr.. Wilson he (Mr.
Camden would put two dollars into
the district to secure his election. 1t
is evident that hard battle will be
fought in the Second district this
fall"

The vote Of last Saturday was an
endorsement Of sewerage, although
the proposition voted ON did not pass.
A majority of the voters said that
they want system Of sewerage, and
they said it too. in spite of a propo
sition that was Objectionable
Two things defeated sewerage
which were entirely apart from the
merits of the question. These two
things related to the manner in which
the proposition was submitted. First,
the proposed ordinance was some
what complicated in it's terms and
provisions, and the majority of the
people did not understand it-at
least that was common remark, 81
don't understand the proposition"
Secondly the proposed system of
sewerage itself, was not presented to
the voters in a manner that they
could pass on it. There was neither
definite plan or a definite estimate
of the cost. There was nothing but
some general statements by an engin-
eer based upon a preliminary sur
vev. Nobody believed in his esti-
mates, and everybody believed that
a system could be put down for much
less than his estimate
Nevertheless there were only sew
enteen votes lacking to make the
necessary three fifths majority.
Sewerage was not rejected. Sew
erage was endorsed. There were sew
enteen more votes at the polls on
Saturday ready to be cast for bet
ter proposition. A comprehensive
system, made by a competent engi-
neer, and with an accurate estimate
of cost, would pass tomorrow by an
overwhelming vote.
What then is the duty of Council?
1t is to employ an engineer at once !;
have such plans and estimates made
as will secure, first, the endorsement
of the Mayor and Council, and then
submit them for the vote of the peo-
pie, coupled with proposition to
borrow the money to pay for it.
We ought to have sewerage this
summer. The people want it. The
people are willing to pay for it. 1t is
only a question of time in any event.
Why delay? Let us have the benefit
of it at once. There can be no I'm
propriety in submitting another
proposition at once. 1t was the
proposition, and not the main ques-
ton, that was rejected. Then let us
have another proposition. The peo-
pie are all right on the main ques-
ton.

In an earnest editorial discussion
of the tax question the Baltimore
Sun of yesterday says:
The tax question is the national
problem of taxation. The Wilson
bill is the first step taken by the
democratic party to bring the nation
back to the principles of taxation
we have just stated-to equalize the
burden ofnational expenditures and
stop the use Of the taxing power to
enrich one class of citizens at the
expense of others. There is no rea-
son, and there never can be any rea-
son founded on democratic principles
for so levying taxation as to take
money out of the pockets of farmers
and planters to put it into the peck
cts of manufacturers; nor to compel
the general body of consumers to
pay tribute on the food they eat the
clothes they wear and the furniture
they use in order that the compare
lively small body of their fellow cit
liens who produce and sell these nee
essaries of life shall gather increased
profits on their business. The dem
ocratic aim in national taxation
must be TO make every citizen pay
in equal proportion for the support
of the government. The moment
that aim is abandoned, and the OBJ.
ject of general taxation is to make
wool growers prosperous at the ex-
pense Of wool-buyers, coal-mine own
ers rich at the expense of coal buy
ers, lumber growers wealthy at the
expense of lum ber- buyers, and so on
all along the line, the democratic
doctrine is surrendered, and we are
out on the open sea of arbitrary class
taxation, without rudder or compass
tossed about by every wind of selfish
interest that blows.

In another column is a draft from
the paragraphs of the tariff bill
which are of most interest to our
readers. Democrats will defend the
bill in its present form. Some of
them hoped for a greater extension
of the free list than is made in the
present bill-we are of this class
and Others hoped it would not be so
large as it is. But it is such vast
)y improved measure to the McKln-
ley law that all good Democrats de-
fend it because it is, as Mr. Wilson
said, cat least long stride in the
right direction"

When good times are brought
about by Democratic legislation it
will be an awful blow to the calam
ity howlers who so vociferously
charge the hard times to Cleveland's
"treezin," and the Democratic party.
Every thinking man knows that the
hard times are the direct result of
Republican profigacy and the work
ings of the Mckinley tariff law. This
law will be repealed within a few
weeks and soon the good results of
Democratic rule will be plain enough
to every one. Then the calamity
yawpers will be out of a job and will
be convicted out Of their own mouths.

persistently lie in politics any better

The Senate has the tariff bill and
the hope of the country now is that
the deliberations upon it INDUCED in
by the committee on finance will be

when the Senate will let the House
have the bill again. Hon. VIM. l..
Wilson expects to be present when
the bill is returned, and he is not
calculating on returning for a few
