RrGARDrNa wAsHINaToN NEWS

The Intelligence gleeiully reproduceS
from the Fairmont InIcr an alleged cor
recrion Of ono Of the REGISTERS Wash
fngton specials in regard to the supple
lnentary business Of party Of West
Virginians who recently journeyed to
The capital on a special and sacred err
rand. To is a delicate subject which the
REGIsrER has no desire to discuss, even
10 the interest Of proving the accuracy
OF It's news service SO we accept the
correction, and let it 60 at that. But
the spectacle OF the Miciligcnccr repro
ducing what purports TO be q correction
OF a REGISTER Washington special is a
sublime exhibition of gall that steps
quickly down to the ridiculous.
The Iptcltjgcpccr gets most OF its
Washington news concerning West
Virginia from the REGIsTEB's specials
and dishes them up to it's readers day,
and sometimes two aud three days,
late. Ii hasn't enterprise enough 10
get even Inaccurate news, or a rumOr,
from Washington on time, for it has no
I spondent there.
The REGIsTER is the only paper in
Yves, Virginia with a regular special
correspondent OF Washington. His du-
ties are TO hunt up West Virginia news
not covered By. the Associated Press
Bnd his task is no small one as is evil
denced by the size Of the REGIsrER's
special service from Washington. No
other paper in the State regularly pub
fishes Washington news Of local inter
est, other than that furnished by the
general report Of the Associated Press.
The REeIsTERs special service the
country over, outside OF the Associated
Press. is double that Of any other
paper 10 the State ana as large as
that OF any journal between Piusbure
and Cincinnati and larger than that Of
some Of the prominent papers Of those
cities.

Factories.

Factories.
Richard Miller, Of the Forty-second
tool works, is at Sstersville on bust
ness trip.
Charles Barrett, formerly chemist OF
the Wheeling steel works, has resigned
his position, and has accepted position
at the new LANCE building.
James Mahood, of Ben wood, tube
worker, painfully mashed two OF his
fingers last Thursday night, while at
work. He is laid up as result.
James Cavahaugh, head machinist at
Miller's Forty-second street tool works.
has resigned his position and his ac-
cepted similar one near Pittsburg.
1t is rumored that the pudding de-
pertinent of the lower Benwood mill
will resume soon after a long idleness.
The report could not be verified last
night.
The first twelve hours the Wheeling
steel works ran since the recent
resumption, the run was very credit
able one, and the output was nearly a
record breaker. For the twelve hours,
il was over 200 tons of steel.

Indications point to the conclusion
that 1t is to the Democratic "stay.at.
home" vote That the Republicans owe
their sweeping victory on the sixth of
November. In Massachusetts, for
instance, with a smaller vote by 1000
than in the last preceding election,
the Republicans in 1894 were able to
pile up a majority increased by 10000.
In Illinois election figures compiled
by the Chicago Intcr-Ocean, show
that the Democratic vote of 1894 was
$4,000 less than the vote cast in 1892.
In Wisconsin, where the Republicans
claim remarkable gains, with a plu.
rality of 100000, congressional dis.
tricts cast very small Democratic
votes. In the eleventh district tue
Democratic vote in 1894 was only
$500 against 10000 in 1892 in the
twelfth district it was 1900 against
l6, 700; and so on throughout the
State, the total falling off in the
Democratic vote being $4,000. This,
of itself, makes Il difference Of $4,000
In il majority table.
Whatever the causes the prcsump'
tion is fair that there existed a gener.
al dissatisfaction in Democratic ranks,
and labOring under this influence they
allowed the elections to go by default
Without theorizing on the causes, II
Is sufficient to say that the great
falling off in the Democratic vote
throughout the country possesses IN
itself an element of strength OF when
the Republican party would 90 well
to beware. 1t shows that the Dem
ocratic party is not as dead as some
of the wild-eyed Republican writers
would have the world to believe
When time brings forth the emel'
gencies which shall demand and Call
forth the full vote of the party, Wv
returns of 1894 show that there ae
still enough Democrats left IN tDs
country to whip the Republican par
ty out of its boots and will do 1t.
If Republicans read the returns
rightly the party will be apt to lollo"
the advice of It's conservative leaders
and prudence will mark whatever icy,
islation that may secure the appro,"'
of the Republican majority III 'n'
house. If SO, there will be no raalc''
attempts to re-enact McKlnleylSm,
which overwhelmed the Republicans
In 1892. But II the hot-heads Secu''

IMAGINATION.
Lack Of II May Be Regarded as a Great
Failing.
North American Review.

North American Review.
No gift OF the Almighty is so little
valued by the hand-workers of the
world as the royal power of imagina-
tion. Parents nearly always think it
Il disqualifying preparation for
money-making. Yet, imagination is
one of the grandest forces in actual
life, and only the ignorant despise it.
The ability to conceive the absent
as II 1t were present" would enable
many a man to set his temptation
vlsibly before him and see the cOnse-
quence Of his act. An eminent Eng
fish historian attributes the Indian
mutiny to Lord D%alhousie's want of
Imagination, his inability to conceive
the results of his provoking acts.
Mr.. Disraeli finds the same fault with
the political genius Of Sir Robert
Peel.
Mr.. Mill says the want Of magma
ton v~itiatcs the whole philosophy Of
Bentham. In the same way fraud
arises less often from conscious rogue
ry than from an inability to ''con-
ceive the absent as if it were present."
and by the power Of Imagination see
the results of a dishonest act. We
all know people who will weep over a
novel or play, and yet care nothing
for the suffering around them. This
because the novelist or the playwright
brings wildly before their magma
tion the fictitious suffering; but they
have no imagination of their own to
realize the actual suffering. There
fore, even men who are to be en-
ployed in commerce or craftsmanship
might take a course of good novels to
stimulate their imagination aids fore
sight and enables US to estimate
probable results.
