NO HEARINGS.
Democratic Senators Decide to Hear
No Arguments on the Wilson
Bill.

The Democratic members of the
Senate finance committee have decid-
ed not to have any tariff hearings
and Senator Voorhees,, ehairman, gave
out the following prepared statement
assigning the reasons:
prompt and speedy action on
pending tariff legislation is required
at this time by every patriotic and
business consideration. The major
ity of the finance committee charg-
ed with the responsibility of the
pending measure intend that no de.
lay shall occur which it is possible
to avoid. We are determined that the
business men Of the country of all
classes shall at a very early 6av have
full and clear full insight into the
laws of tariff taxation which shall
hereafter prevail A claim, however,
is now made that whoever may wish
to do SO, must be allowed to come be
fore the finance committee and make
speeches to US in regard to each and
every particular interest affected by
the tariff. This claim is without
limit as to numbers, and if granted
to one person it must be granted to
all. One Senator alone asks five hun
dred to be heard from his state. 1t
is also unlimited as to time, and be
comes, therefore, in the hands of the
opponents of tariff reform, an instru.
ment of delay, indefinite in duration,
ard far more formidable and efficient
than the worst form of filibustering
on the floor of the Senate.

He Can Talk.

Alfred Brown, the well -known
grocery salesman, is not deprived of
his speech, as was at first reported.
He sends the following letter to the
Register:
To The Editor of the Register:
In an article published in your
paper of January 26th the state
ment was made that the cause of
my recent affliction of the tongue
was the inveterate use of tobacco;
also, that from the effects of the
operation l would be rendered mute
for life.
This is the first intimation l have
had that tobacco was the cause of
my affiictiop. In consulting with
my physicians they told me that to-
bacco had nothing whatever to do
with it; am at loss to know where
the author Of the article got his in
formation, and will state for the
benefit of those interested that while
l have undergone very severe OPP
Grafton by which had to lose the
greater part of my tongue, l am still
able to talk intelligibly. To say the
least, your informant was very reck
less and careless in his statements.
Respectfully,
ALFRED Brown.

The Coal Tariff.

The tariff organs live in a state of
perpetual confusion respecting the
effect and extent of free coal from
Nova Scotia, the single Canadian
province with bituminous product
for sale. Under the best conditions,
says the Philadelphia Times, Nova
Scotia could not supply the New
England market with more than $780,
600 tons yearly, as the output cannot
be increased because of the limited
field. This looks very small when
compared with the $4,000, 900 tons of
soft coal mined and marketed in this
country in 1898, on which the con-
sumner paid tariff tax of rs cents
ton, with not one cent benefit to the
wages of the miner, though we are
told that this is the actual intention
of the tariff. This rs cents ton on
a 100000 ton output amounts to
exactly 1927, 100000 more than if the
duty was taken of, as the Wilson
bill provides, and the $27,000,O0O
added to the price per ton in accord
ance with the tariff duty is the
amount of the subsidy the consumers
pay to the individual operators, who
pocket the benefit. This is the $27,.
100000 subsidy the operators are
fighting for by the demand upon
Congress to retain the duty, and the
situation is simple enough to those
who investigate 1t is not tariff but
subsidy that is at stake.

Interest in Public Affairs.

A spirit of inquiry, OF interest in
all affairs pertaining to the progress
and usefulness of state and nation,
is essential to the well rounded man
or woman. The housewife who takes
genuine pleasure in learning, for
example, that Dakota has developed
new and unexpected resources, or
that a law to better the condition of
the unfortunate or oppressed has
been enacted, is better mother and
a better housekeeper for her generous
response TO that which affects the
nation and the race which she should
love. The man who has no interest
in public affairs, who boldly asserts
that he doesn't care to know what is
being done in the world of ideas, be
yond his immediate contact, is mar
row and to a degree useless man.
His living is comparatively valueess
to his country, because his country
demands and needs the warmest in
terests, the closest sympathy OF every
citizen. Of the lowliest as we'll as the
highest.

Standing by Their ColOrs.

The Democrats of Moorefield,
Hardy county, w. Va, one of the
counties which compose the district
represented by Hon. VIM. L. Wilson,
have showed the sterling character
of their Democracy by warmly com
mending his course in congress and
thanking those other Democratic
congressman who had the courage to
vote for revenue reform, even though
it seemed to conflict with their To-
cal interests"
This action has the right ring, and
should be initiated not only in Mr..
Wilson's district but elsewhere. The
aim of Democratic tariff legislation
is to smite to the dust unjust class
legislation, whereby the pampered
few are fattened at the expense of
the many. This is being accomplish
ed, but the initial battle was no easy
one for those entrusted with the
great mission. They were exposed
to the assaults of selfish monopois-
tic greed, to the cajolery of those
who wished special privileges; they
were threatened with defeat for re-
election, as was the great sponsor of
the measure himself, and yet the
Democracy of the lower house gave
a magnificent majority for the meas
ure.
In view of this the action of the
Hardy county Democrats is graceful
and fitting and worthy of imitation.
Incidentally it gives the lie to the
assertions concerning the character
of the alleged disaffection in Mr..
Wilson's district. His Democratic
constituents are evidently proud of
him, and are determined to stand by
him. They believe in the sound
Jeffersonian and Jacksonian doctrine
of the greatest good to the greatest
number.-Pittsburg Post.

THE TITAN OF CHASMS.
A Mile Deep, ID Miles Wide, 217 Miles
Long, and Painted Like Flower.

The Grand Canon of the Colorado
River, in Arizona, is now for the first
time easily accessible to tourists. A
regular stage line has been establish
ed from Flagstaff, Arizona, on the
Atlantic & Pacific Railroad, making
the trip from Flagstaff to the most
imposing part of the Canon in less
than u hours. The stage fare for the
round trip is only $40. 90, and meals
and comfortable lodgings are provid-
ed throughout the trip at reasona-
BILE price. The view of the Grand
Canon afforded at the terminus of the
stage route is the most stupendous
panorama known in nature. There
is also trail at this point leading
down the Canon wall, more than 5000
feet vertically, to the river below.
The descent of the trail is grander
experience than climbing the Alps,
for in the bottom of this terrific and
sublime chasm are hundreds of noun
tains greater than any of the Alpine
range.
A book decribing the trip to the
Grand Canon, illustrated by many
full-page photographs, from especial
engravings and furnishing all needful
information, may be obtained free

Pass the Bill.

In speaking Of the duty of Sena-
tors in regard to the Wilson tariff
bill, the Richmond Dispatch says:
If Senators, one and all, could but
realize what a great stumbling block
to the renewal of business activity
this tariff question is, they would
work night and day to hurry the bill
through. None of US will ever live
to see perfect tariff bill. The most
we can do is to aim in the right di-
rection and do what we are going to
do promptly" This is the sense of
the whole country. The suspense of
waiting for conditions under which
buying and selling can go forward
freely cannot be borne forever Let
us have an end of it. The Senate
should quicken it's slow gait.

In Favor of the Baltimore and Ohio.

Wilson Martin sustained personal
injuries in an accident on the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad and brought
suit against the company in state
court in West Virginia to recover
damages. The case was transferred
to the Circuit Court of the United
States, where a verdict was found
for the defendant. An appeal was
prayed to the Supreme Court of the
United States. In the meantime Mar
tin died, and his administrator was
substituted to prosecute the point of
error.
Justice Gray announced the opin.
ion of the court that, under the laws
of West Virginia, right of action for
personal injuries abated with the
death of the person, and therefore
directed that the writ abate and the
appeal be dismissed. He also stated
that the court had found that the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany is resident of the State OF
Maryland alone.
Justice HaZ1an dissented from the
reasoning OF the court, but concur
red in the conclusions reached

JOHNSON REARRESTED.
He Says the City's Money Was Used as

w. R. johnson, the defaulting CT
ty Clerk of Steubenville, was located
in st. Louis, where he was working
as a reporter on the Globe Democrat.
After his arrest he made the follow
ing statement:
"The charge that l embezzled
money is false. There has been a
controversy going on since before
Christmas about $473. The facts
are these:
I'm addition to being city clerk l
was chairman of the Republican
Central Committee. Last month we
had a municipal election, and in the
fall county officers were elected.
Steubenville is Republican town,
hut the Democrats made hard
fight and we were pushed to desper
ate straits at times. The money in
controversy was money that should
have been turned into the city treas
ury, but was used for campaign pur-
poses, and was to have been made
up by the candidates, which they
did not do. l, as city clerk, was re-
sponsible for the money. 1t was a
case of my being left by the other
fellows to hold the bag. am sur
prised at Mayor William M. Scott.
1t was on his communication that l
was arrested here. The Republicans
were successful in the election.
Scott was one of the candidates elect

ton papers"

As To Trade.

1t was given out this week that
more money is in the Banks Of New
York at the present time than was
ever before in the history OF those
institutions. In commenting on the
financial depression and panic, ma
ny financiers hold that as soon as
the agitation of the tariff question
is settled by Congress there will be
revival in business, and the money
that has found its way to the money
centers will naturally flow to the
Legitimate channels of trade, and
better times will be the result. A.
B. Hepburn, prominent finapcier
of New York, says:
"In my judgment, the recent panic
was largely the legitimate and logi-
cal result of long period of fast liv
Jog and over speculation which
seems to have characterized the
whole world. The bubble first burst
in Europe with the Barings' fail
ure, which marked the collapse of
reckless speculation in South Amer
lea and South African securities
Severe and continued liquidation
Immediately set in throughout Eu-
rope. This was postponed in Amer
lea on account of crop failures
abroad and phenomenal crops at
home which found a ready and prof
table market in Europe. The liq-
uidation here, which was inevitable
and healthful was aggravated by
purely artificial conditions, unwise
Legislation as to the currency, and
prospective radical change in the
tariff. Fear of the gold value in
our currency induced the foreign in
weston not only to withhold, but to
withdraw investments, lest he be
compelled to accept payment in a
deprecated currency The same
fear at home induced liquidation of
investments and the boarding of the
gold The currency famine followed
with all disastrous results.
| believe we are at the bottom of
our financial and business troubles.
Subjected to the very severe strain
of the last six months, no other con
illusions can be reached than that
prices and business must have got
ten down to solid basis Empty
shelves will induce purchasers of
goods; purchases necessitate orders
from the manufacturer; the wheels
of industry must move. We are a
great, growing community and bust
ness cannot stop, nor, for long per-
iod, stagnate. Consumption will
overtake production. Business
must go on. The step towards re
storing general credit is to restore
the Governments credit. The Sec
rotary has wisely taken the necessa
ry action to accomplish that result
The manufacturing centres will
likely experience the revival before
the agricultural sections. Our own
section will not likely get into "the
SWIM before next fall, when this
years crop will be placed on the
market, and the prod ucers will re.
ceive the cash. But dawn of bet
ter times will be helpful to all, and
we all hope they are near.

ScaIded to Death.

Henry Robinson was killed at
Grafton in most horrible manner.
A locomotive came into the Balti-
more and Ohio repair shops with a
hue leaking at the end. Without
drawing the fire, Robinson, who is
assistant to the chief boilermaker,
attempted to plug the flue. He
stood in the tender and held long
bar Of iron, one end of which
was placed in the flue through
the furnace, while striker hit the
other end with sledge. The third
blow. instead of closing the leak
burst the flue, and the hot water
aud steam under heavy pressure
knocked Robinson down and ecalded
him to death before assistance coult
be lent by those about him.

The financial difficulties that have
overtaken ex- Governor Campbell, of
Ohio, should constitute lesson to
the ambitious boy who is inclined to
pick out politics for career The
wrecks of political life are more nu-
merous than the wrecks that ever
strewed the most dangerous coast
of the sea. Here and there we find
exceptional cases in which men of
especial capacity are able to keep
their heads above the waves for an
indefinite period and to retire in
their old age with competency
that has been more or less honestly
secured; but for the one man who
makes q business success of politics
there are a score who make dismal
failures. The life of a politician
requires unremitting toll, unceasing
vigilance and activity. 1t is gener-
ally so exacting that little time is
left to attend to legitimate business
pursuits. Even when a man sue
ceeds in attaining political power,
he enjoys no security of position and
possesses no guarantee that he may
not be deprived of it all by single
unlucky turn of fortunes wheel.
Public Office holding is legitimate
and honorable occupation, but the
young man who sacrifices a good
business or profession, however hum
bic its rewards or prospects, in or
DEF to accept the average political Of
fee, writes himself down." in the
words of the immortal Dogberry,

The Asylum Trouble.

He stated the matter would come

on February ID, and from what he
intimated the meeting would be a
lively one, and the suspended parties
propose to have full hearing and
were prepared to meet any charges
that may be made.
The nature of the charges be re-

say that they were not for any moral
