Here is silver DOCTRINE.

The restoration TO power Of the
Democratic party at an early day de
ponds upon the present Congress. If
Immediately upon assembling Con
gress will pass law for the unlimit-
ted coinage of all silver bullion the
product of American mines at the
ratio of Is to with gold, and send
it to the President FOR his approval
or his veto, it will make the silver
question the issue, and the Democ-
racy will occupy the popular side
If the President yetoes the bill it will
only more sharply define the issues,
and give the Democrats the decided
advantage. We understand full well,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer, me
tallists, but we are quite confident
that for every one who will take
sides with Wall street there are two
or three, and perhaps dozen, Re
publicans who are in sympathy with
the people. In other words, there
will be a partial disintegration of
the old parties, and a re orgauiza-
tion of the elements.
The new tariff law will work its
way to popular favor before another
congressional and Presidential cleo
tion, and there will be a general pro-
test against meddling with it except
to perfect some of its details. The
Mckinley prohibitory protective
tariff will never be re enacted in the
United States. The powerful com
binations and trusts which con
structed its schedules will be des-
troyed or be so weakened as 10 lose
their influence by the enforcement
OF the present law. The logic of
events in the meantime will convince
the people that to give universal and
profitable employment to labor and
distribute the products of labor, to
give life and activity to all manu-
featuring industries, to furnish the
means for meeting taxes, and pay
debts, public and private, there must
be an increased volume of money
and currency. The lessons of ex-
perience will teach those now igno.
rant that silver must be restored to
its old place as the money of final
redemption on a parity with gold.

Free Sugar.

One thing which the present SEES
sion of congress has laid out to do is
to pass free sugar bill, defying the
sugar trust when it does so. PresI-
dent Havemeyer says the retineres
will close if this is done. They did
not close when the Republicans
passed free sugar bill, for the gov
eminent did the unheard of thing of
paying the trust bounty. 1t would
be a good thing if the sugar trust is
done away with entirely. 1t is a
blot that should be removed.
Now if the sugar trust expects to
gain sympathy by shutting down its
refineries at the beginning of winter
and discharging thousands of EN-
ployes, it will be mistaken. The
movement is believed to be simply a
threat intended to coerce Congress
to abandon the free sugar bill, it is
believed that it has made miscal-
culation and the effect will be lust
the opposite to that intended. 1t
will make the country at large more
clamorous than ever for free sugar,
and if the giant monopoly suffers
there will be few mourners.

THE ACTUAL FIGURES.
How Harrison Depleted the Treasury
ina Short Time.

The New DOMINION has insisted
all along that when Cleveland came
into the office of President the sec
ond time he found the embarrassing
situation of bankrupt treasury Re
publican papers reply simply by cry,
ing "bosh." Well, let's see how much
bosh there is in it by giving the ae-
tual figures:
On the 1st of March 1885, at the
beginning of Cleveland's first admin
istration, the funds actually avail
able in the treasury and its agencies
aggregated STAG, 679, GAG IS, exclusive
of the $l00,000,000 gold reserve. On
the LIST of March, 1889, at the begin
ming of Harrison's administration,
the funds actually available in the
treasury and agencies aggregated
$230,000,000, exclusive of the 300
100000 gold reserve. On the LIST of
March, 1898, at the end of Harrison )
administration and the beginning of
Cleveland's second administration,
the funds actually available in the
treasury and its agencies aggregated
$62, 450, 5752 %, exclusive OF the $780,
100000 gold reserve. There was
$l67, 1913, $40 less in the treasury
when Harrison went out than he
found there when he went in.

WEST VIRGINIA INTEREST
In Congressional Legislation at This
Session ofC0ngress Centers Around
the Direct Income Tax.

The only legislation now pending
in Congress of special interest to
West Virginia is the bill authoriz
ing the Secretary of the Treasury to
repay to the State the money con
tributed by her citizens as direct
tax during the war, amounting to
about $4,000 The bill to refund
this direct tax to the States was
passed in the Fifty first Congress,
and all the other States except West
Virginia's portion was held back by
Harrison's administration on the
plea that it could not be paid until
The old State debt dispute between
Virginia and West Virginia was
settled. In the Fifty second Con
gress Senator Faulkner got bill
through the Senate directing the Sec
rotary of the Treasury to pay the
money TO the governor of West Vir-
GINA. But in the House the pass
age of the bill was fought by the
Republicans, led by Mr.. Burrows. of
Michigan. By resorting to flibus-
tering tactics, Mr.. Burrows and the
Republicans succeeded in staving
off action on the bill until that Con.
gress expired. In the first session
of the Fifty third Congress Senator
Faulkner again got the bill through
the Senate; but in the House il
again met with Republican opposi-
ton of the same sort as in the form
er Congress, and notwithstanding
the fact that the West Virginia del
egation did all in their power day
after day to get the bill through,
they did not succeed. They were
obliged to see the session end with
out securing the passage of the bill.
Whether it will be possible to get
the House to adopt the bill in this
short session is very doubtful The
little time at the disposal Of Con
gress to get through with the neces-
sary appropriation bills makes it ex
ceedingly difficult to secure consid
Grafton of other legislation of any
kind. even when there is no special
objection to it, But probably the
Republicans will continue to fight
the West Virginia direct tax bill in
this session as they have in the three
preceding sessions, and II its friends
succeed in passing it they will have
to do some mighty hard work and
clever engineering. The attempt to
get it through will, however, be
made, and may result in victory.
Bat the chances do not at this time
appear iIattering.

Meeting of the Station Committee.

The station committee of the
Board of Regents, which consists of
Col Robinson, DR.. Brown and Col.
Smith, met here Tuesday to audit
the accounts of the experiment sta
tion for the year 1894. They found
all accounts correct and completed
the financial statement as required
by the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, a copy of which is also for
warded to the governor of the state
Only regular routine business was
transacted, the business being to au-
dit the accounts and complete the
report.
The station is supported by the
the general government, and the
state has never made any appropria
tions for it, though it has uniformly
asked for a sufficient appropriation
with which to secure suitable farm
for agricultural experiments. They
authorized the Director to secure an
assistant chemist in place of T. F.
Watson, resigned.

Much curiosity seems to be en-
tertained throughout the country,
according to the daily public prints,
with regard to the currency plans
of Secretary Carlisle. The silver
men in Congress will oppose any leg.
islation that does not recognize their
metal, and if they should pass a bill
the probabilities are that it would
be stopped for time in the Senate.
But the currency struggle will be
brief, for the session will be for but
70 working days, but the currency
legislation will attract most interest
of anything during the session, un-
less the statesmen get started on the
free coal and iron agitation, both of
which the president recommends.

THERE is more paving going ON in
Morgantown. 1t should properly be
called alley paving, but some of these
days this allev paving will grow into
street paving, when the people be-
come convinced that what's good for
an alley is good for a street. The
particular piece of paving to which
this notice directs especial atten-
tion is the Wallace alley from Spruce
to Main street. Work on the grad
ing for the improvement began Mon
day, and is now well under way.
Laying brick will begin in few
days. The property owners who will
be the beneficiarfes of the improve
ment will pay two thirds of the cost
and the town the remaining third.
That is the approved and equitable
system. That the system by which
Main street will be paved some day.

Another White House Eve mt.

According to statements now
quietly current, the month which
marks the second anniversary of Mr.
Cleveland's second Inauguration will
witness an interesting arrival at the
White House.
Should the Presidents fondest
hopes be realized this arrival will
receive the name of Grover.

Picket Fence Around the Jail.

The county court has heard of
some liquor transactions that have
been going on between the prisoners
at the county Jail and some other
parties and was in quandary as TO
what method to adopt to keep out
siders from having too free commu-
nication with insiders Capt. Hell
mick was sent for. He suggested
that an iron, sharp picket fence, ten
feet high, be built around the jail
The court thought that was a good
scheme and price for doing the
work was named. The court has not
entered into any contract for the
work. but it will probably do so be-
fore adjourning. That sharp picket
fence would keep the fellows away
who are wanted kept away.

" and unequivocally for anv definite

The half-crazy high tariaites Of
the east would modify their exnlss-
ton over the recent victory some
what had they better understand
ing Of The temper of the western con-
tingent of their party.
The Chicago Tribune is the lead
ing Republican organ Of the west
and here is a verbatim extract from
a recent edition of that paper:
Advocacy Of the tariff bill of 1890
showed political judgment and sa
gacity. The unfortunate bill cost
the great, proud Republican party
the terrific defeat Of 1890, leaving it
in control of scarcely State in the
Union, such was the popular disgust
and wrath. 1t suffered defeat sg4in
in nearly all the State municipal
elections of 1891, and was overwhelm
ingly routed in the Presidential elee
tion of 1892, which swept away even
it's control Of the Senate If in the
coming Senatorial election the re
enactment Of that politically disas-
trous bill is to be made test Of par
ty fealty and good standing. the re
cent floodtide of Republican victory
will be followed all too soon by
shadows and sandbars for the elated
Republican craft now navigating a
deep flowing stream Of popular ia
vor.
The average western Republican
is not so bold spoken as the Tri-
bune. He is not so prone to con
fession that his party can err or has
erred But he is not demented on
the subject Of the tariff. He is not
in love with the system under which
trusts and tramp both came into be-
ing for the first time in our history.
And his utterances though yelled
are not heavily yelled expressions of
a decided lack of faith in that sys-
TEN.
The Tribune, however, speaks
right out what it knows and what
it means. 1t declares that it was
the atrocities of MeKinleyism that
wrecked the Republican party in
1890 and 1892. McKinleyism ac-
cordipg to the Tribune was a pro
duct of poor political judgment sa-
gacity' and in turn produced deep
and widespread disgust and wrath"
And, holding these views, it very
naturally warns its co partisaus of
the east, and the monopoly tariffites
generally, that if McKinleyism, or
anything like it, is to be future
test of Republieanism, the triumph
of their party will be most decidedly
unfruitfal and short lived.

that it has great deal to do with
honesty in elections, but then it was
