HON. GEO. +. EVANS

Talks Interestingly of HIS Candidacy for
Speaker and Other Matters-A Plan to
Legally Break tho Democratic Gerry
mnnder-The Senutorship.
Special Dispatch 10 nc laeligateer.
MARrlNSnURG, W. Va, Dec. 1O.-The
friends OF Hon. Geo. I. Evans, the dele
gate.clect to the legislature from this
county are pushing his candidacy for
the speakership vigorously, and have
strong hopes that he will be given the
honor. Mr.. Evans talked interestingly
to-day regarding his candidacy and
matters OF state moment that will come
before the legislature. Asked regard.
ing his chances for being the next
speaker, he replied:
~ am losing no sleep because OF tina:
question, l still have good appetite,
and ain ablO TO consume three square
meals day. l suppose the delegates,
when they assemble at Charleston, will
select the man they think best fitted
Tor tue position. regardless OF the wishes
Of any one individual, be he n candidate
or not. This is q time when the Office
should seek the man. Naturally, il /
should be selected, should be highly
gratiGed, as it has long been my ambi-
ton to be the speaker OF the house OF
delegates OF this great and growing
state; yet am not so foolish as to sup.
nose for an instant that tho party will
be ruined, or even crippled, il I am not
selected. for the legislature contains
many men who are in every way quail
fed to- preside. l don't propose to jump
of Of the band wagon, even il they won't
let me beat the bass drum.
II have. however. every reason to
feel satisfied with the assurances of
support that I have received from all
parts of the state"
"Will Mr.. Dawson's candidacy for the
clerkship interfere with your chances"
II think not. Why should /? Mr..
Dawson lives nearly two hundred miles
from my home, and besides, his able and
successful management as chairman OF
the state committee should entitle him
to be considered as candidate-at-large.
have not heard that his canvass has
interfered with the chances OF prefer
ment of the member from Green
county in the Pennsylvania genera! as
sembly; why should it with mine, since
the Green county statesman lives but n
few miles from Kingwood, Mr.. Dawson's
homer"
"IIave you decided on your senatorial
preference"
PERSONALLY, I prefer Mr.. Elkins, but
it Is not question as to who is my per-
sonal choice. The people whom rep
resent are unit for him, and il | am to
reflect their desires, there is but one
thing to do--vote for Mr.. EIkins "r re-
sign my seat. And as | like him equally

sum only as shall be adjudged due by

States. But whatever We do owe, II

signs Of the owners"
DO you consider it wise to increase
the school tax at the coming session 2"
Most decidedly not, though j be-
lieve in everything that will upbui!d
our educational system without unjust
ly burdening the people. This era oil
depression. however, is the time for
decrease rather than an increase OF the
already heavy burdens OF the people.
Our party has made its campaign large
ly on the question OF lowering the i'm
mense state taxes, aud am very much
averse to increasing them at this time
on any pretext. Should it bedone, ! fear
it will be many years before the people
will again trust legislation in our hands.
II it can be done, am in favor OF re-
duCing the state trxes, at least 25 per
cent, always provided that it will not
cripple the present administration, for
! am not one ofthose partizans who
would InJure our institutions with de-
iiciency when the state government is
in Democratic hands, for the purpose Of
scoring a political point"
"Do you think the state eau constltu-
tionally be re-districted? Z"
"0n that question l am partizan,
and thoroughly in favor OF undoing the
illegal and unconstitutional gerryman-
der OF the Democrats, and in restoring
to the people their stolen rights.
Moreover, have plan that will IN.
doubleday stand the most severe legal
tests, and which will efectually settle
the question. For several reasons,
however, / shall reserve 1t until the
proper time. But rest assured OF one
thing, the cerrymauder will be broken,
aud legally broken, too.
SHOULD the session OF the legislature
be extended beyond the constitutional
limit"
"No. II l am elected speaker OF the
house, and can direct the matter, the
general appropriation bill will be passed
before tho first OF February. Notwith..
standing the fact,that vast amount OF
work must be done, by prompt effort
and concerted action we eau readily
transact it in forty.tive days, adjourn
and 90 home with the approval OF our
constituents, and with tho assurance
that, having done so well, the people
will desire to continue tho Republican
party in power"

The Register quotes with evident sat
isiaction a complimentary notice oil
State Senator Whitaker by the Charles
ton Mail, wherein Mr.. Whitaker is
spoken Of as ian avowed candidate for
the United States senate to succeed MIR.
Camden" We do not understand that
Mr.. Whitaker is an avowed candidate;
but that is not the point.
The Register did not think Mr.. Whit
sker good enough man to be elected
to the state senate. aud in its mad de-
termination to defeat him made savage
warfare on him from the day Of his
nomination. What has changed the
Registers view with regard to Mr..
Whitaker, so that now it would regard
with satisfaction his election to the
United States senate? A reply to this
pertinent question cannot fail to be en-.
tertaining and may even DO instructive.
The Register may recall with some
bitterness that its intense opposition to
Mr.. Whitaker did not defeat him for the
state senate. 1t was unable to get the
people of the district to follow its lead.
The present undertaking is to get the
Republican party to adopt its sundry
suggestions with regard to matters to
be determined by the representatives
Of that party.

to try something very much more diff
cult Has the reverse of November

Newspaper Libel Suits.

Yesterday in the circuit court oil
Ohio county, Judge Campbell presid.
ing. the suit Of William NJ. Handlan
against the IvrELLlGENcER was brought
TO a finish. Handlan claimed damages
in $4,000. The jury gave him nothing.
The verdict was given promptly to
the newspaper because it was entirely
clear to every man on the jury that
the publication was entirely proper,
was not false, not malicious, not injur-
ious and was made from good motives
and for justifabie ends. I. was a
truthful report Of proceedings in the
circuit court of the United States. This
was proved by tho deposition OF Judge
Jackson, the United States circuit judge
for this district, and by three deputy
marshaIs on the stand.
II newspaper could not safely make
such a publication the press OF the
country might as well go OUT oil bust
ness. But note the hardship to an hon
est and careful newspaper. Although
the plaintiff loses his cause and would
have to pay the costs, the defendants
are put to the trouble and cost Of max
ing defense, and il the costs cannot
be made out OF the plaintiff, the defend
ants must pay their own costa. This is
unjust and, in the case OF newspaper
financially weak, might be serious
embarrassment.
In some states, we believe, the county
assumes the costs in such case. In
others the plaintiff must lGive bond in
the sum OF $500, with two sureties, that
Il the case goes against him he will pay
costs aad charges not exceeding that
amount, 500 of which is allowed the
successful defendant for counsel fees.
Any man who has case, which in
cludes reputation that eau be injured,
can get somebody, or two someoodies,
who believe in him and his reputation
to the extent Of $500. Under such a
law there is no denial Of justice to any
body, but brake is put on the practice
OF bringing harassiug libel suits, as
speculative ventures.
A fearless newspaper in this country
was compelled to expend in thirteen
wears in the defense of libel suits the
very considerable sum Of $4,000, and
it won every suit that was brought
against it. II that effective public
servant had had the protection OF such
n law as we have spoken OF, it would
probably have had fewer suits brought
against it, and in every case the plaintiff
would have had to pay all tho costs and
a reasonable allowance TO. the defend
ants counsel fees.
This protection should be extended by
every state TO the press. 1t would not
ave any reckless or disreputable news
paper from paying the penalty OF any
libelous publication. but it would make
libel suits less attractive to irresponsi-
bic persons, who rarely gain case, al
though many OF them embark in these
ventures.
Its OF the frat Importance to the peo-
pie that the press shall have full liberty
to do right. No honest newspaper asks
more than this and no state should grant
less.

against sole and absolute government
responsibility under the present system.
Thus briefly contrasted in the Light Of
these vital features tho present system
seems very much the better. and It has
the further support Of q thoroughly
satisfactory experience from the point
Of view Of the note.holder. OF course
the security would be equally good II
the present Law were amended to allow
q national bank to take out circulation
equal to the full face value Of the bonds
deposited. for every government bond is
worth par II 1t be worth anything.
The secretary Of the treasury regards
his scheme as meritorious because it
would provide more elastic currency;
and he points to the panic OF last year
as showing that there was urgent need
OF more money. But there are two inn
portant facts to be takon in considera.
ton in this connection.
First, money was not scarce. There
was plenty of it in the coantry, but it
became timid by reason Of loss Of con-
fdence and hid itself. Some was locked
up in banks. Some was withdrawn from
the banks and deposited in stockings,
in stoyepipes, in cupbOards, in other
similar places Of safe.keeping.
Secondly. the banks found ways and
made ways to get along without money.
They used clearing house certificates,
bank checks paying only through clear
ing houses and generally made wider
use of paper forms Of credit The ne
cessities OF the time found way To i'm
part to the circulating medium the quail.
ity of elasticity which has SO deeply i'm
pressed the secretary and others as be-
ing wanting in our monetary system.
The secretary Of the treasury and
those who agree with him will have to
show more merits ia the proposed plan
before 1t can be made acceptable to the
country. The fact is that it is the gov.
ernment's own finances, not primarily
the national bank system, that need
considerable and radical readiustment.
