LETTER FROM CHARLESTON.
CHARLEsroN. w. Va. Nav 6

CHARLESTON, w. VA, May 6.
Editor Charleston is
inst now enjoying quite a building
boom. All over the city can be
seen excavations for business and
dwelling houses. Hundreds of la
borers, carpenters, brick masons,
stone masons, timers, ETC., are now
busily employed who, six weeks
ago, walked the streets in idleness.
Judge Jackson's court is in sess-
ion and fiocks of moonshiners are
in attendance. From morn till
night the monotonous cry is heard,
"s1OO fine and 30 days in Jail. +"
Well, these fellows ought TO stop
their manufacture of the ardent, or
give me some.
Charleston's great feeder, the C..
C. & S. railroad, is now being pushed
with all possible haste toward its
terminus, and only about 49, miles
remain to be graded in order to
reach Clay C. H, and long before
the autumn leaves fall the people
up there will hear the scream of the
locomotive. The completion of this
road will prove "free silver" mine
to this hustling little city.
The newspapers here all seem to
be doing well. The Daily Gazette
is at your door every morning, ex-
cept Sunday, freighted with the
latest news, while the Mail comes
forth in the evening laden with the
doings of the day. Each have
their own missions to fill and they
do it admirably.
The Kanawha Valley Democrat
is a welcome weekly visitor and
swings from its mast head, the
name of Hon. Jas. Capehart for
Governor.
The Sunday Tribune is compare
lively a new candidate for public
favor and is rapidly gaining ground.

the thousands OF testimonials the May

horn and Flat Top Regions.

Over fifteen thousand coal miners
are out in the Elkhorn and Flat Top
coal regions and reports from there
say that the strike is to be a general
affair and the former nom Union
men are rapidly joining the strikers,
some of them from fright. There
has been no demonstration of vio-
lence so far but it is liable to break
out any time, as many of the men
are armed. The Bluefeld militia
and all companies in that part of the
State are preparing to be called out
in the event OF trouble and the mine
operators will call upon the author
tiles whenever they see any indica-
ton that the men intend to be
rough.

The government crop report,
which was given out last week, is
not pleasant reading. 1t dashes the
hopes which have been widely en-
tertained that the coming crop sea
son would witness an abundant
harvest of wheat and thereby, in a
measure, afford the means of re-
lieving the depression which has
settled down over the country.
Even the elements seem to conspire
against return of prosperity. In
stead of abundance, scarcity is
again promised-at least so far as
wheat is concerned. Other crops
promise better; and the condition
of wheat may improve. The trouble
has been drought.

ShnnfY FONTS.

The Act of the Legislature will
be enforced. What is to be done
with the shanty boats that now line
the river fronts of both our rivers,
is now a problem our county and
city officers will have to solve. The
law will have to be enforced, al
though it is entirely wrong, and
will work hardships on many poor,
but honest people. Its the duty of
the officers to enforce it as they find
it, and there is no help for them,
unless the court is applied to for
injunctions to prevent the officers
from enforcing the law. Shanty-
boats have always been an eye-sore
to many farmers owning property
on river fronts, and they will see to
it that the officers enforce the law.
Many imagine that if they get rid
of the shanty boats and their PEG
pie, all their ills will be cured.

The price of wheat, cattle and
produce of all kinds is going up,
and those who have anything to
sell will be benefited accordingly.
But the trouble is that most of our
farmers have but little to dispose
of, while many have feed and bread
stuff to buy. There is no doubt
but many one disposed of their
crop last fall who wish they had
held it over. This is the way things
run, however; a mans foresight is
not quite as good as his hindsight.

The X. & NJ. railroad is a blessing
to this town. Its officers are broad
minded, liberal and thoughtful men.
Railroads are a necessity. They
are close to the people and the peo-
pie ought to get close to them.
Some say that they are the product
of modern civilization. 1t is more
correct to declare that modern civ
ilization does not exist where rail
roads are not. Snow, rain, freeze
and dirt will make mud, block up
rivers and render impossible the
common highways of travel; but
steel rails, ties and gravel ballast
affords constant means for locomo-
ton.

More Oil Wells.

EEWe received word from good au-
thority today thata joint stock COM
pany of home capitalists has been
organized here for the purpose of
drilling for oil in this immediate
section. Arrangements have been
made with number of Pitlsburg
contractors who will be here next
week to begin operations. The
probabilities are that on next Thurs
day morning everything will be in
readiness and work will be com
menced on well almost opposite
here in Ohio. Another one in the
bottom just above the Chesapeake
& Ohio shops, and still another near
the mouth of Seven Mile, above
here. The parties interested have
applied for a charter, and are men
of money, brains and ability, and
will push matters with vim and
vigor. We trust they will be sue
cessful 10 their venture. Other
wells will be started besides the
above in the near future Hunt
ington Advertiser.

The Chicago Evangelical alliance
has issued statistics showing that it
costs from 1885 to $3.50 to save Il
soul in that city. They seem to
come pretty high, but the recent
upward tendency of wheat and beef
in Chicago has been productive of
such immense profits that church
boom may be imminent.

The Monroe Doctrine Once More.

The Monroe Doctrine Once More.
The jingoists are up to their ears
in clover now. The complication
between great Britain and Nicar-
aqua is a godsend to them, and the
air is filed with their cries for war,
bloody war, war of determination
against England.
Briefly stated, this is the trouble.
The republic of Nicaragua has been
treating England with indignity by
kicking out a representative of that
Government and by expressing its
citizens-such treatment as no ma
ton which has any right to be
ranked asa nation would stand from
any power, either great or small.
For this insult Great Britain de
manded PREPARATION, and when Mic
aragua, emboldened perhaps on ac-
count of its canal relations with
this country, refused such repara-
ton Great Britain proceeds to en-
force its demands and take posses
sion of one of Nicaragua's ports,
Corinto, on the Pacific coast, full
account of which has been published
in this paper.
This is the hour and opportunity
for the jingolsts and most faithfully
are they improving it, and to hear
them go on one would conclude that
John Bull was carrying a fire sword
under the folds of the union jack all
over South America. "The Monroe
Doctrine" is their cry, "the Monroe
doctrine is violated and abolished,
and gone to everlasting smash "
Well, what is the Monroe doc
trine? If it is that the United
States must make itself the cham
pion of all the little powers on this
continent, to uphold them in what
ever freak they may indulge them
selves, and if this Government must
undertake to uphold that doctrine,
then all other business may as well
be abandoned, for with that our
hands are likely to be kept full.
The absurdity of the position now
assumed by the enemies of this ad
ministration in the Nicaragua mat
ter hardly needs pointing out. 1t
will do to stir up the bad blood OF
people who fail to keep themselves
informed OF passing events, but it
can have little effect on the minds
of intelligent, fair minded men.
The Cleveland administrator can
be safely relied upon TO uphold the
honor and dignity of the country in
this as it has in other compiler
tions.

age in referring to West Virginia

in area than all the mineral re-
sources of Great Britain. e is most
advantageously located for develop
ment. With nearness to the sea
coast on one side, it has on the other
the vast industrial interests of
Pennsylvania and Ohio, which must
draw for their support largely from
its great treasure house of raw ma
terials. The development of Vest
Virginia, active as it has been for
ten years, must double and quadru-
pie in the early future. In this
magnificent. region there is a wide
field for the safe investment of cap
ital, for the building of railroads,
the opening of coal mines aud the
establishing of wood working en-
terprises and many other Industrial
interests.
From 1880 to 1893 this State ad
vanced lis coal production from
100000 tons to 100000 tons.
Some excellent authority believe
that this will be largely more than
doubled in ten years more. In fact,
Maj. Hotohkiss, than whom there is
no one who more fully understands
the coal regions of W. Va, predicts
that from Lower Coal Measures of
the State alone the output of which
is now 100000 tons year, the an
nual production within five years
will be from 100000 to 10000
