NO SUCH ORDER.
Postal Clerks Must Take up Mail on

An item has been going the rounds
of the press to the effect that the
postmaster general had issued an
order that all mail should be depos-
tied in the post office and that mail
dropped in the mail cars would not
be taken up.
This is all mistake, as will be
seen by the following dispatch from
Washington yesterday:
The postofiice department has sent
to all railway maiIservice employees
circulars calling attention to the pos
tai regulations requiring postal
clerks to accept all prepaid matter
offered them at their cars and to for
ward it To it's destination. Inquiries
have been received at the department
from almost every section of the
country indicating general misun-
derssauding. due, it is stated TO the

CATION has been repealed The rule
Is declared to be still IN force, and

thorisy has been given.

THE TABERNACLE BURNED.
Rev. DR.. Talmage's Brooklyn Church
Destroyed Again.

BROOKLYN, N. Y, May 13.-Just
after services at noon to-day, and
while DR.. Talmage was shaking
hands with members of his congre-
CATION, fire burst out between the
pipes of the organ, and within ten
minutes the big tabernacle was
doomed to total destruction. -Ad-
joining the church was the Hotel
Regent, eight stories in height, with
a frontage of ninety feet on Clinton
Avenue, and extending back 200
feet to Waverly Avenue. The fire
spread from the tabernacle to this
hotel, and then to the dwelling
houses on Greene Avenue and Wa
verify Avenue opposite the church.
The wind carried the blazing cinders
in such quantities in southeaster-
~ direction that dwelling houses on
Washington avenue, two squares
away, and also the Summerfeld
Methodist Church were set on fire
by them, but the greatest loss on
any one these structures did not ex-
coed $4,000. The total loss, however
reaches over 81, 100000.
Within half an hour the magnifi
cent hotel was seen to have Joined
the tabernacle on the road to de-
struction and no water could reach
the fire there.
The guests in the hotel had lost
no time in making their escape
They waited only to snatch up few
valuables and run, but wearing ap-
parel and other effects had to be left
to the greedy flames.
The fire spread with lightning-like
rapidity, and before. sunset had de-
stroyed property to the value of near
So, 100000. The fire was caused by
the electric light wires. This is the
third time DR.. Talmage's church has
been burned. He was to have start
ed on trip around the world Mon
day but has postponed making the
trim.

retaining about the same general
average OF duties.
The pottery schedule is also
changed. but not materially.
..The Wilson bill, as it came from
the House, made the average duties
under the bill, as estimated by the
Treasury Department, when reduc-
ed 10 an ad valorem basis, thirty five
per cent The Senate bill as first re
ported to the Senate reduced the av-
erage duties on the same basis to
thirty five per cent. making a reduc-
tion of one per cent from the average
of the Wilson bill. The amendments
of the Senate bill. as now proposed,
consist very largely of changes
RESTORING THE DUTIES
under the Senate bill to what they
were under the Wilson bill, and
while have seen no statement from
the Treasury Department, estimat-
ing the average percentage of duty
in the Senate bill, as it will stand,
modified by the amendments, my
impression is that it will not vary
one per cent. from the Wilson bill on
average results
Il am also of the opinion that
most, if not all, of the changes made
in the Senate bill will be approved
by the Committee of Ways and
Means of the House and also by Mr..
Wilson, and that the tariff bill,
when passed, will be genuine Dem
ocratic measure, conforming to the
Democratic platform, and that it
will give such satisfaction to the
country that a speedy revival of bus
mess will ensue and another Demo
cratic victory at the polls will follow
in the fall"

Et-1ctefuOf wilson 0an01uate.
The Register Of Monday last SAYS
Now that ex- Governor E. W. Wilson
has fully determined to enter the
race for the United States Senator
ship to succeed Senator Camden, as
indicated by the Registers special
telegram from Charleston, a spirited
contest may be expected. The ex-
Governor never goes into race un-
less he goes in to win, and no more
vigorous campaigner was ever known
in West Virginia politics than be.
He is well known all over the State
as splendid stumper aud good or
ganizer, and has very large follow
ing, so that his candidacy will give
to Senator Camden very formula
BILE opponent. Governor Wilson will
open his campaign in few days,
and ere he closes it the hills and
valleys of every county in the State
will have echoed and re-echoed the
words of eloquence and political wis
dom always heard when Governor
Wilson talks. The Governor is
thoroughly posted upon the political
topics of the day, and no one can do
more to arouse enthusiasm among
the party in this State than he, and
whether he is nominated for the Sen
ate or not, his candidacy will result
in strengthening the party's ranks
and giving it encouragement.

NO DOUBT ABOUT 1T.
There is Gold in West Virginia-The
Question is, viii ii Pay to Mine IT?

Specimen of the ore recently dis
covered on Blue Creek, has been sub
mitted to w E. Arlrey, of the U. S.
Assay office at Charlotte, N. c., who
reports it to contain S24I in gold
and 10 cents in silver to the ton.
Six different assays have been made,
the best yield per ton being reported
as 1857 in gold and 20 cents in sill
yer. This assay was made in Lead
vile, Col. Some Colorado parties,
who are interested in gold and silver
mining, think that the prospects for
working this ore on paving basis
are good These assays certainly
set at rest all doubt as 10 the exis-
tence of gold and silver in West Vir-
ginia. 1t is probable that joint
stock company in which several cap
italists, already interested in mining
operations on Cripple Creek. Col,
will take stock, will be organized Ia

The Press of West Virginia.

One of the best contributions to
the great success of this years meet
ing of the West Virginia Editorial
Association was the historical paper
prepared by Mr.. A. B. Clark, of
Buckhannon. This paper is the re-
suit of pains taking efforts to cover
in particular the recent statistical
record Of the press of this state. 1t
shows a gratifying and encouraging
progress.
A state whose newspapers double
in number in ten years is not going
backward. This condition of affairs
cannot, of course, continue. A law
Of newspaperdom is that the estab-
lished newspapers increase in circu-
lation very much faster than new
journalistic enterprises take the field.
The increase in the number of
newspapers in West Virginia has
come along with the general growth
of the state. AS the wastes are peo-
pied the local press is established.
With more people comes more eireu-
lation for the newspapers that are
worthy Of support. The press of
West Virginia is adding to its client
age, and still better things are ia
store for the established newspapers.
In Mr.. Clark's excellent paper is
developed fact of decided interest,
and this is that on the average the
Republican newspaper is better sup
ported than the Democratic newspa-
per. There are 65 Democratic news
papers with SLIT subscribers, A
Republican newspapers with $4,000
subscribers. The average is S79
subscribers to each Democratic news
paper and 1902 subscribers to each
Republican newspaper.
In other words the average Re
publican newspaper in West Virgin
ia has about fourth more subscrib-
ers than it's Democratic competitor.
This fact suggests an entertaining
train of ught.-Intelhgencer.

The coal miners strike has proved
a great boon in so far that it has en-
abled the operators of Marion and
Monongalia counties to sell consid-
erably more coal, and because it has
duly advertised the incalculable
wealth Of the coal field of this Sec
ton. While only about 200 carloads
Of coal have been shipped daily over
the F.. M. IL p r. r. for over a week
inquiry has informed consumers OF
other States that paying coal mine
might be opened under almost every
acre Of land in the Upper Mononga-
hela Valley, and that the surface of
this land would remain very valua-
Die both for grazing and agricultur
al purposes.

"Where we are At

There are two things that may be
asserted hereabouts without fear OF
contradiction:
l. That there is not first class
road leading into Morgantown.
2. That there are very large
number Of people who don't care
whether there is or not.
Nevertheless, these two things do
more to retard the development of
this locality than almost any other
influence. Their effect upon stran-
gers who come in to look at our
country is most torbidding, not to
mention the influence upon our own
people and business.
A good road is the greatest mod
ern ciyilizer that can be named.
But there are very few of our people
who could be persuaded that our
roads have anything to do with their
prosperity one way or the other.
Nevertheless that there is not a sin
gle first class road leading into Nor
gantown is the principal fact in the
eye of the observing stranger. The
lack of pride, as well as business
thrift, which these roads indicate, is
the best index to the character of
any people.
We would like to see one first class
road made, as kind of object lesson
to our people and an illustration of
what it will do for our people. We
suggest, as we have often suggested,
that the best opportunity for pay
ing public road, is to open one down
the West bank of the river from the
Suspension bridge to Granville
There is big money in that for the
owners of the land, and it would
give Morgantown chance to have
one decent public driveway in the
suburbs. And Morgantown ought
to help make il. If not, we believe
there are number of citizens who
would contribute literally toward it.

So the Second Congressional dis
trict is to be the battle ground this
year. No better selection could be
made. Ii there is any section of the
State where the Democracy will be
in shape to meet the advancing hosts
it will be in the second district. The
Democratic party is not making
much noise at present, but it has NO
intention of delivering this district
over to the Republicans, and it
would be well to remember this

The Democratic Party is Inn.

Only few days before his death
in conversation with Mr.. John P.
Kerr, editor of the Ashville IN. c.
Daily Citizen, who called upon him
at his residence in Washington, Sen
ator Vance used these words: .sThe
Democratic party is immortal. l
have not recently arrived at this
conclusion, but since have been ly-
ing here on my back l have thought
profoundly of many things, and
among them this idea of my earlier
manhood has become steadfast

life l fought, as Wing, the Demo
cratic party, and sometimes when it
was overwhelmingly defeated /
thought it could rise no more, but
from its wrecks and disasters it
would come more mighty than ever
before and sweep away all opposition.
The word Democrat stands for hui
man liberty and human freedom and
cannot die. The people believe in
it, and when freedom is menaced and
liberty ieopardized, at one blast of
that magic name men will come from
the mountains and from the valley
and place the Democratic party in
power.

The West Virginia Editors.

In referring to the meeting of the
Editorial Association in Wheeling
the Register speaks of the West Vir-
ginia editors in the following very
truthful lines:
There is no man who does more
for the community in which he lives
than the editor Of the county news
paper. Toiling ceaselessly from one
years end to another, often with in
sufficient help and unable to secure
assistance, he manages to issue reg
ularly his weekly paper, filed with
the news of his county and the
world No business enterprise is
started in his county that he is not
expected to give it little boost"
No entertainment is projected by
the church that he is not called on
to give it a "free puff" If a leading
citizen dies his columns are thrown
open for liberal obituaries, while
births and weddings are all noticed,
usually at considerable length. If
his county is an agricultural one, he
must never fail to tell how big the
crops of all the farmers are, so that
people from other places may be in
duced to locate. If there are coal
veins TO be opened, he must fill his
columns with reports of the thick
ness of the veins, the value of the
coal and the inducements held out
to capitalists for it's development
If there is railroad to be built. a
new court house is wanted, or any
improvement contemplated, the col
umns of his paper must be used to
boom them. In a thousand ways
he helps his county and every issue
of his paper is worth a great deal to
the people of his community
Then when the campaign times
come around, there's not candidate
in his party who does not ask for
and expect the free use of his col
umns. In politics his influence is
as great as in business and every
class of citizens is benefited by a
good county paper But few people
appreciate the difficulties the aver
age editor must overcome to get his
paper out. He is about as hard
working and as poorly paid as any
average laborer in the country. He
not infrequently has to do all of his
own work, setting type and all, and
seldom is appreciation of his labors
shown, in a financial way or other
wise.
The State, which reaps snbstan-
tial benefit from the publication of
the county papers. is niggardly with
them, compared with the other
States and little patronage is given
them in return for what the press
does for the State. More liberal
laws toward the press have long been
sought and one of the objects of the
West Virginia Editorial Association
is that the editors may act in har-
mony in trying to secure these laws
and otherwise assist each other,
The hard working men who com
pose the association deserve the rest
and recreation they will get while
attending their ANIMAL meeting.
The Register welcomes them to
Wheeling and trusts that much sue
cess may come 10 them and their
business meeting.
