coal is clearly and beyond question
a revenue duty, and by far the low
est duty ever provided on this article
in a Democratic tariff.
In reference to my action on this
bill, it is so thoroughly known by my
colleagues in the Senate, that any
suggestion that I Rave hindered,
delayed or INSTRUCTED it, or done
otherwise than earnestly press it
both before the Committee and the
Senate. would surprise them. I in
formed the members of the Commit
tee at my interview with them, that
whatever should be their conclusion
upon this subject they would receive
my earnest support and active CO. OPP
Grafton in the passage of the measure.
On the 9TH of March last, in reply
to statement in the New York
Herald, I stated on the floor of the
Senate that / used this language at
my interview with the Finance Com
mittee: 81 am q Democrat; and if.
as Democratic measure you bring
that bill out even as it came from the
House Of Representatives, or in any
other form, il will receive my earn
est and cordial support"
Since the bill has been before the
Senate, no one, other than the dis
tinguished Senator from Tennessee,
Mr.. Harris, and the members of that
committee, have been more earnest
or active in pushing it TO conclu-
sion. Ten days ago i determined,
if necessary, TO yield my judgment
upon the prOprietY of cloture in the
Senate, and vote for any measure
that wo uld bring this bill to prompt
conclusion. The material interests
of the country demand this or any
other sacrifice by the representatives
of the people, that the anxieties and
uncertainties which have followed the
long debate upon this bill may be
dissipated at the earliest possible
moment. shall continue the course
1 have followed so far, and assist in
any movement no matter how ag-
gressive it may be, that shall be de-
termined upon by my party, with a
view of the speedy passage of this
bill. Very truly yours,
CHAs. j. FAuLKNER.

Now Given Out.

No, the Republicans will not oh
struct the passage of the Tariff Bill
much more, they are magnanimous-
ly about TO let it pass, and so called
Democrats are not willing to obstruct
further by absentation from the ses-
sions and daily quorums are to be
graciously permitted by them. 81
so-called Democratic amendments
have been agreed upon, and the per-
sonal benefciaries Of high tariff, of
both parties, are doubtless well salts
fed. They cannot be distinguished
even by twilight. The bill is made
so far anti-Democratic in the Senate
as 10 he acceptable to high tariffites,
who plead the baby act by crying help
ns to make living, we cannot com
pete with the pauper skill of less
fortunate peoples of the world, we
must have our infant industries pro-
tected. That is we must be per-
mitted to rob our poor neighbors who
consume our goods of from 25 to
80 per cent. above the value of the
articles we sell them, and for that
matter which is that much added
above what the article oan be manu-
featured at, and net us living profit,
but this is 2 fast age and living in
our style is expensive and we can
not wait for the slow process of hon.
estY to make our fortune. Time is
too short to fool over old fashioned
methods of making money. Con-
gress can make us miIlionaires by
lint fariH h,Yes-as. 3
Congress does not do it, We will hiss
the abortives of our pet scheme out
of power. 1t is so much easier to
tax the laboring man to pay tariff
tribute in what goes down his hun
cry throat or on his sun beaten back,
than to take years to lake it by hon.
est profits On slow methods. With
revenue tariffs OnIs, we lordIy man.
utacturers will have to take a quar-
ter of a century to become very
rich, whereas by aid of obstructive
Democratic Senators who are to be
induced to support the Wilson bill
Ivy 81 high protective amendments,
we lordlings will he enable to grow
very rich in half that time. And
what difference is il anyway if the
poor Iaborer will have to toll on
through all the day? He cannot aspire
to wealth, so by taxing him for our
benefit is all clever so he does not
find it out, which we rich Senators
propose he shall never do. So
weather NE be so-called Democrats
or Republicans our interests are alike
if we are made rich Ivy our smart
ness in deceiviDg the voters, who
have quite enough to attend TO in
these bard times, which we had to
make hard to keep their minds from
tracing our perlidy to duty and prom
ises to the dear people before cleo
ton. Shame, Senators, shame.

Our State sunday School Work.

The twelfth annual convention of
tue West Virginia Sunday School
Association will he held at Fair
mont July %, &c and 27, 1894. II
is greatly desired that every county
in the State be represented in this
convention.
Some time since wrote to one of
your ministers requesting him to con-
fer with the other ministers and Sun
day School workers of your county,
and then to call a meeting for the
purpose of organizing your county.
II this has not been done, we ask
that some one who is interested in
Sunday School work will issue a
call for the Sunday School workers
OF the county TO come together in
mass convention, for the purpose of
discussing Sunday School matters
and organizing the county for work in
connection with the State Associa-
ton. This is an interdenominationaI
as we'll as an international Sunday
School movement along denomina-
tional lines. 1t aims to make more
efficient the efforts of Sunday School
workers, by calling them together in
council, both in the county and in
the State.
We want, if possible, every county
in the State organized by the time Of
our State Convention in July. Who
will lead off in this matter in your
county? Get some one call a meet
ing at once for the county. and then
for further details in regard to the
organization, send to the under
signed, who will send all the neces-
saTy documents and information re-
CURED. Let there he prompt action.

small We think they all returned to
their homes feeling that the day was
well spent. o.

Johnson N. Camden

A contributor to the Free Press
makes the following deserved mem
ton of Senator j. N. Camden.
The subject of this article has had
a noble vindicatisn in this county.
In no other part of the State was
opposition to him ever so unjust and
violent, and yet he has risen above
resentm ent. In these days of politi-
cal spite it is refreshing to find a
man in high official place with mag
nanimity of soul sufficient to let in
gratitude pass aud go right along
doing all he can for the best inter-
ests of his State and to help
those who need his help. No
representative in Washington has
ever done more for Jefferson county
people, and it is very doubtful
whether any West Virgfnian has ever
done more for his State. Beginning
life as a poor boy in one of the most
sparselY settled portions of the
State, by honest toll he has amassed
colossal fortune, developed the
oil, coal, timber, railroad and other
industries of the State, aud given
we'll remunerated labor that has sup
ported large element of our popu-
lation and established and main
tanned many home. In all his vast
enterprises his word has been q
synonym for good faith. and few
men have ever done more to help
young men and young women, by
giving them an opportunity to make
living for themselves and those
whom Providence has cast upon
them. With his keen business fore
sight, unusual executive ability,
aIertness in guarding the interests of
his State, amiahle manners, kind
heart and magnificent eeuipoise, his
continued presence in the U. S. Sen
ate is a matter of Importance not
only to West Virginia but to the
whole American Union.

Senator Faulkner and the

Hon. ohas. j. Faulkner, U. s. Sen

Hon. Chas. j. Faulkner, U. s. Sen
ate, Wash, d. G.,
My DEAR SIR Some comment has
been made by Democrats of this COM
munity, because of articles in Metre
politan papers which place you in an
attitude of antagonism, or at least in
the attitude of delaying prompt re-
port from the committee and prompt
action upon the tariff bill now pend
ing before the Senate.
Objection has been made by some
of our Democrats to your course in
suggesting duty on coal.
Recognizing the right of any Dem
ocrat in the State to call on his rep
rescntatives for an explanation OF
their position on public questions, I
deem it but fair to you 10 state that
if yon desire to make answer to these
suggestions, the columns of my paper
are open to you. shall take pleasure
in publishing any reply you may deem
proper to make. Yours truly,
G. w. BOYER.

graduates in the Law Department OF
the w. Va. University in June. He
is the President of the graduating
class. The Chair of Engineering in
the University is vacant, and will
probably be filled by the Board of
Regents at their annual meeting next
month. This is the Chair that was
held by Mr. Davenport when in June
last the designations of the entire
faculty were demanded by the Board
OF Regents, on account of some f:ic-
tion between the Faculty and DR..
Turner, the President of the Insti-
tuition. Nearly all the Faculty were
reelected, but AR. Davenport and
several others were left out, the vote
for him standing six for election and
six against, the President of the
board, Col. Robinson, being absent.
The Board refused also to re-elect
DIR. Turner to any Chair. Mr..
Davenport while Professor of Engi.
neering proved his efficiency and
industry by increasing the work in
the Engineering School many per
cent, and attracting a number of
students to the studies in his Depart
