Major A. Burlew, of Charleston,
one of the ablest Republicans in the
State, has announced himself a can
didate for Congress from the Third
District. We know of no better
man for that position in the State.
State Gazette.
The local Republican organ pays
Major A. Burlew a high compli-
ment. "The rarity of christian char
ity," is not exemplified in the COL
umns of the Gazette when it comes
to compliments. Itsplashes ont on
all sides like a big mud turtle try
ing to land itself on dry land out of
a pond. Discretion, however, does
not characterize the utterances of
the Gazette, nor does wisdom direct
its counsels. We are not advised
as to who now writes the editorials
in our fair neighbors paper but who
ever is, certainly must have neg
lected, in the light of a Republican,
to have read Major Burlew's letter
of announcement. For the benefit,
enlightenment and progress of those
,chO have not read this strange eff
fusion from a Republican brain we
make the following extract:
al believe that the demonetiza-
ton of silver in 1873 has been a
National disaster, and no man in all
the debates in Congress for the
last twenty years has had the cour-
age to defend it.
al believe that the great finan-
cial distress that we are now suffer
ing, and the war harvest which the
national banks are reaping, at the
sufferings of the people, can be
more directly traced to the demone-
tization act of 1873 than to all other
causes combined. 1t has brought
misery and starvation, where before
was peace and plenty, and has been
more disastrous to humanity than
the late civil war"
at the time silver was demone-
tized Grant was President and Con-
gress immensely Republican. Ma
jor Burlew is correct. He should
be admired for his fearless honesty
in making such an admission, but
his party should and will be
damned eternaIly for the nefarious
act.

We do not approve of counties
passing resolutions instructing their
candidates for the House of Dele
gates, as to whom to vote for q. S.
Senator in caucus. 1t is wrong in
principle and will do more to dis
organize the Democratic party in
West Virginia, than any other
thing that could be thought of, and
the man who would accept a nom-
ination, with such instructions
hanging over him, is not possessed
of much manhood. If the trick
sters who resort to such means to
secure a vote for their favorite for
u. S. Senator would use half the
energy in securing the election Of
Democrats to the Legislature, ii
would be much better for the party,
The mon who are elected to the law
making body of our State, should
be free and untramelled.

but one in the Chinese service, was
sunk and two other large Chinese YES
sells, said to be frstclass cruisers, were
captured or destroyed.
The battle was hotly contested, but
the japanese appear to have handled
their guns, ships and torpedoes with
more skill than the Chinese.
The Chinese fleet engaged carried
nearly 1000 soldiers and large number
of them are reported to have been killed
or drowned. Later dispatches say that
few if any of the Chinese engaged in
the battle escaped. Two German of.
ffcers, in command of the Chen Yuen,
are reported to have met death with the
crew of that vessel.
