STATE HOUSE NOTES.

A meeting he State House commits
sion will b. acid at the Narragansett
Hotel tomorrow morning at IL o'clock.
Governor Brown has reappointed
Henry L. Root of this city, William o.
Marion OF Johnston and j. Nj. X. South
wick OF Newport, commissioners OF inland
fisheries.
Judge Collins of North Providence and
Colonel James Nj. Wright of Foster
are somewhat perturbed by the
rumor that they will be deprived OF
their sinecure as shell fish commission
by the next Graud Committee. There are
contestants for these 500 positions, but
the popularity of the present commission
ers will PROBABLY enable them to hold
their places.
Dwight X. Adams OF Centerville has
resigned his position "a mem-
ber OF the State board OF edu-
cauion, lie is veteran in
the public service and this is the last of
the many officia. positions he has
held. The condition OF his health made
it inadvisable for him to longer
serve. This will make five vacancies for
the Grand Committee TO fill at the May
session. The terms of Percy ID. Smith
and j. Howard Manchester expired last
June, but owing to the legislative compli-
cations they held over. 1t is improbable
that they will be agreeable TO the next
General Assembly. The terms of Frank
Il. Thompson of Newport and Samuel II
Cross OF Westerly expire in June, and
they will probably be reelected.
IL Is reported that x-Governor Wetmort
Is about to leave for Europe TO return

DENVER. Col, May 1.-Governcr Waite
has addressed letter TO Colorado's repre-
yentatives in Congress, on the pro-
posed attempt TO secure the abroga-
tiop or modification oil the regulat ions
by which cattle imported into Great
Britain from the United States are
required to be slaughtered at the

will probably not be possible to abrogate
the rule in regard to the slaughter of Amer

actually pgsvails in Canada and Ia places
In the Eastern and Southern states.
The disease Is unknown, however, in the

scason why the rule should be modified as

slaughter, was tried in the Sixth District
Court this morning on warrant alleging
that he "did willfully and feloni-
ously kill and slay one John p.
Brown" Brown was freight brakeman

the Worcester division freight yard by a
misplaced switch and was killed.

guilty ana was bound over in $500 bonds

The Brown and Princeton teams will

has his chance just as each Brown man.

THE DEMOCRATIC IDEA.

Opposition to protection idea has
been distinctively the Democratic idea
from way back. When the Wings and
Democrats were pitted against each
other, that was the rock upon which
they split" says our neighbor the
World. An open confession, even by
Democrat, is good thing. Two
years ago there was not half dozen
Democratic papers in the country
that would have admitted that the
Democratic party was free trade par.
ty. Why, i'll the last campaign, Dem
ocrats claimed to be friends of the
farmer, mechanic, miner, and laborer.
In this District, those who earn their
bread by the sweat of their brows were
assured that Mr. Wilson was their best
friend, and on that assurance he re-
ceived many votes They now real
ize to their sorrow that they were
most shamefully deceived. They
know that Democratic newspapers
and Democratic speakers lied to them.
When they hear their children crying
for bread the enormity of those lies
is fully known When they seek
work and find none, they realize that
Mr.. Wilson is very strange kind Of
friend. When farmers sell wheat for
90 cents bushel they, too, begin &c
understand what free trade means.
So with all classes, but more especially
those who were once Wings, but have
for years past been cajoled into voting
the Democratic ticket. 1t matters not
what may have first induced them to
worship at the shrine of the Democra-
cy, they now know that all former
professions are false as sin and that the
Democrat of ga is the same stupid
old donkey of way back-a free trader
pure and simple.
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1894-02-17

same speakers will not find the working
men of this district or in our neigh
boring district over the river, so gull
lible. Reflection and common sense
argument has taught them that little
faith could be put in Democratic
promises. 1t does not require college
"larnin to know that every ton of
foreign coal dumped into our eastern
seaports, means one ton less to be
dug by American laborers, and one
ton less to be hauled by West Virgin
ia railroads, consequently, less work
for West Virginia railroad men. Take
away from our railroads the hauling
of coal and lumber, and their sources
of revenue are crippled to such an ex-
tent that their operation will be at
tended with loss Then down, down
will go wages and up,up will go rates
1t is poor rule which does not work
both ways, as our friend will find to
his sorrow.

while during the past year further
decline of IS 9-I6c has taken place,

out the fact that the election of Gro

sponsible for the present low price of

FRANK BUT FOOLISH.

The free trade days are only a few
Congresses Observation-Disclosures.
The old quotation, Fools rush in
where angels fear to tread, is excus-
able when used in reference to the
above. 1t is evidently an effusion Of
the 'office devil" and Bro. Boyer
should put an eye on him" in the
future or he may cause trouble i; the
harmonious C) Democratic camp. We
give the devil credit for this remark
able prediction, in justice to the able
editor of the Statesman, who, prior to
the election, filled columns of his pa
per with argumentative statements to
prove his party did not favor free
trade; that it was only a "bugaboo"
of Republican "calamityhowlers, "etc. f.,
to bring the party of Jefersonian sim
plicity into disfavor with the work
ingmen.
Rumor says he acquired a few
gray hairs in the the effort to disprove
the misrepresentation "of the afore
S aid calamity howlers." We
again advise our contemporary to curb
the free trade tendencies of the office
boy, " or he may compromise the par
ty in old Berkeley to such an extent
that even the west pocket" of the
Senator will not be sufficiently
large to hide him from the wrath of
his fellow-members on the county ex-
ecutive committee. Does Bro. Boyer
voice the sentiment of the Democratic
party in Berkeley, when he thus bold
ly declares for free trade? AS secre-
tary of the county committee his
statement will have to be received
more seriously than if it were from
one not in position where such de
claration is considered as official. "

On last Saturday, in the New York
market, wheat went to the lowest
notch yet reached, IS I-I6 cents per
bushel for May dealing. Bears had
been predicting o5-cent wheat but no
one expected it to go SO low. and it
did not but came with one-sixteenth
of a cent of it.

fluctuations of the May option during
the second week in February for the
past four years is here given:

THAT SURPLUS.

One Of the leading planks of the
Democratic platform of 1884 was that
one which denounced the Republican
party for having accumulated a sur
plus for the purpose of taking up
bonds as they became due. The cry
went up from every stump: They are
piling up the peoples money in the
Treasury MI Cleveland was count
ed i'll and the surplus continued to
grow for the simple reason that there
was no change in the revenue laws
during his first term. The secret of
the success of that administration is
due to the fact that the Senate was
Republican and tariff tinkering did
not flourish,
During Mi IIarrison's administra-
ton the surplus was used for the pur-
pose intended. Bonds that fell due
were cancelled and the public debt
largely reduced, AS no more bonds
would fall due for number of years
The Mckinley law very largely reduc-
ed the revenues.
Sugar, which was under the old law
was paving a duty Of cents pound,
was made free, reducing the revenues
by about SIS, 600, 600 a year. Had
this one item remained the surplus at
the expiration OF Mr. Harrison s term
would have been at least $500, DOC, 600,
It never was the policy of the Repub-
lican party to levy unnecessary taxes
and in the opinion Of the ablest finan-
ciers the time had arrived when the
people could be relieved Of the heavy
burden imposed for the rebellion.
The tariff on sugar had long been re-
garded as tax, for the reason that
but small amount on sugar was pro-
duced in this country. So, with
numerous other articles, it was placed
on the free list.
Every now and then a cuckoo organ
pipes up that MIR. Cleveland, by his
economy during his first term accum-
ulated a surplus of $500. 600, ooon
There was no economy about it. The
surplus was there when he went in
and he could not spend it because the
Senate would not allow him to do so.
The Hero Of Hawaii is welcome to all
the honor be can get out of his former
term as he will have precious little to
boast Of this time.

In our little contention about the
trouble at the Stevens mines the World
admits that there is contract labor
law, but that it was not enacted until
after many laborers had been brought
to this country. We fully agree with
our friend but beg to remind him that
it is Il rare thing to hear of law be
ing enacted until after the evil it is
designed to check becomes manifest.
Cain killed Abel before the Command
ment, Thou shalt not kill'' was writ
tel. Tariff laws were passed to pro-
tect American merchants and mechan-
les from British greed and rapacity,
yet, our friend advocates the repeal of
those laws. The Federal elections
laws were designed to protect the bal
lot box from such representative Dem
ocrats as Boss Tweed, and as soon
as the Democratic party comes into
power it repeats those laws and a Dem
ocratic President, true to the tradi-
tions of his party, signs the bill with
a gold pen.
