A BILL LIKE THIS
Is What We Should have had Long Ago.

A bill is already pending in con
gress introduced by Mr.. Springer,
of Illinois, which, with some modifl-
cations, will meet the recommends
tions of the commission appointed
to investigate the Pullman and rail
road strikes. 1t provides for three
commissioners to be appointed by
the president for six years who will
constitute a national board of arhi-
tration. This commission is en-
powered to act on the petition of
one or both of the parties to the con
troversy, and when neither party
asks for it there is no compulsory
arbitration. The commission is al
so empowered to investigate sat their
discretion, when public interests are
at stake" the causes of all disputes
between employers and employees,
and the best means of their adjust
ment. Reliance is had on the NOR
al effect of plan of settlement pro
posed by national commission. By
making their term of office six years,
the commission is not to be an emer-
gency affair, appointed after the
troubles are under full Roadway, but
is a permanent institution, to be
ready at all times to exert its good
offices. 1t is considered as highly
probable that a bill of this character
will pass congress at this session.

Protect the Fish.

There is a very stringent fish law
upon our statute books, but notwith-
standing it is being violated with
impunity every week in the year.
The law only permits the catching
of fish with "hook and line" and the
use ofnets, seins, traps, or any 9th
er device in taking fish from our wa
tiers is forbidden. Heavy penalties
are provided for any violation of the
statute. The men who are now en-
gagged unlawfully in taking the fish
from our waters, should be arrested
and their nets and other implements
destroyed

Mr.. Wilson's Characteristic Reply,

Political tidal waves can not be
relied upon as permanent The par
ty that makes such tremendous
gains, especially in an off year, will
realize only a temporary benefit.
When the growth of a political par
ty is slow and steady, it is then that
its opponents have most to fear.
William l.. Wilson, when asked i'm
mediately after the election if he
considered the Republican tidal
wave permanent, he replied, "As
permanent as tidal waves ever are"

Has that Liar Moved.

The following, which was sent as
a special from st. Marys, would in
dictate that the famous Parkersburg
liar has removed the base of his oper-
ations, but if it is otherwise the driv-
er of the team showed good sense in
being knocked from the wagon when
he was:
This morning A. L, johnson left
here for the oil fields with so gallons
of nitro ely cerine for shooting wells.
When six miles from here, the team
ran of, throwing Johnson out and
hurting him slightly. A quarter of
mile further, the glycerine was ex-
ploded by the jar of the wagon. The
explosion was heard and felt 40 miles
away, and hole 10 feet deep was
torn in solid ledge of rock over
which the wagon was passing. Thus
far no part of the wreck, except a
piece of horse collar, has been found.

of Agriculture. Nearly three fourths
of our exports come from the farms.

Secretary CarlisIe's Report.

In Secretary Carlisle's report are
presented the operations Of the
Treasury Department during the
past year-a year of remarkable fl
nancial and economic events-and
in connection with it, the proposed
plan of currency reform through a
modification of the existing national
banking system. 1t is shown to
what an extent the revenue of the
government fell off, narrowing the
resources of the government for
meeting current expenditure. Add
ed to the financial difficulty thus
created was the monetary difficulty
arising from the operation of the
Sherman silver act and the want of
confidence inspired by it in regard
to the soundness of our currency.
this want of confidence manifesting
itself apparently in the exchange of
paper money for the gold in the
treasury and the expectation of the
gold thus obtained. To strengthen
the gold reserve thus depleted, bonds
had to be issued fer the first time in
many years. The unsoundness of
our monetary system has thus be-
come so obvious that a reform which
will relieve the treasury Of its i'm
possible task is strongly urged A
better system, it is suggested, may
be reached through a modification
of our banking laws, with view to
safe banknote currency that will
expand and contract-as does the
Canadian currency-in response to
the varying demands Of business.

A Chance for the Hon. james.
If the hint is made into q law to
have the county courts of this state
composed of a commissioners from
each magisteriai district OF county
it would be a good thing That
should have been the law long ago.
In some counties it is the law now,
mace SO by special Legislation. There
should, and very likely would, not
be any opposition to such measure.
If it is not made general law for
the entire state, Senators Gramm
and Worley and the Hon. James NJ.
Anderson would be serving their con
stituents in Monongalia well by do
ing what is necessary to make such
a law for this county. Ohio, Preston
and some other counties have such
a law. This is splendid chance
for the Hon. JAMES to jump into ev-
erlasting fame.

sued by State banks, under certain

with the same treatment. That there
are good features about the proposed

who will oppose its adoption, and, in

Mr.. McRae's Bill VIII Restore Bl.323,O 900

Congressman McRae. OF Arkansas. has

inally planned which were not constructed
aud completed within the time stipula ted
In the granting acts A total OF 155. 50i.-
09i acres of public lands were disposed of
I'm this way Mr. McRae holds that IL has
been clearly the purpose OF Congress to
make the time within which railroads
should be completed as essential
t. government aid aud that after
the period OF time had elapsed there
was no power to make sales except
OF the lands earned by building roads
within the specified periods. He thinks in
many instances construction of land grant
roads has been purposely delayed until the
surrounding country had become so thickly
populated that they might have been
quilt without aid. twenty-five railroad
corporations are affected by this bill 1t
is estimated by the Interior Department
that they have failed to build 4,59s miles
of road. according to the terms Of their
charters and that their land holdings
which would be forfeited amount to ST.
