Our Legislature made a great
mistake in not making su Efficient APP
preparation for the payment to fees
and costs in felony cases. The fund
is exhausted and this leaves the
State in a very embarrassing position
in the trial of its cases, nothing
with which 10 pay even its wit
nesses fees. The witnesses should
be paid spot cash. They will feel
better in that case and be more
prompt in attendance.

Hurrah for Texas!

The quickestle legislation on record
was the knock out of the Corbett
and Fitzsimmons fight set for Dial
las, Texas, for the last of this
month, by the Texas legislature,
which was called in special session
by the governor for the express
purpose of enacting a law to effect
ually cover such cases, between
man and man and beast. 1t took
the senate just ffty-five minutes
after getting at it to pass the bill
and the senate bill thus passed
went through the House immediate
ly afterwards-time occupied in the
whole proceedings less than three
hours.
The constitutional rule was sus-
pended in order that the law might
20 into immediate force, the bill
was signed, and the whole matter
was concluded.

Cnban Libertr Must Como.

The longer the Cuban lnsurrec-
ton continues the more HOPELESS
seems its suppression by the mother
country. OF late in every conflict
of arms Spain has been worsted and
it is evident that only large in
crease in the army can maintain
respectable continuance of strife.
The desperate struggle of our is
land neighbors for liberty is attract
ing the attention of the whole
American people and, day by day,
sympathy for their cause is growing
with magic warmth. This sympa-
thy is on the verge of transforming
into helpful naturalization, and the
prospects are that before many
moons the Cubans will bereinforced
not only by diplomatic interference
by the United States but by actual
volunteers to the army.
AL the Governors of the States
and territories have expressed
themselves and the people of their
respective States are in hearty ap-
proval OF Cuban liberty and in
every case have strongly suggested
and recommend immediate action
by this government. Gov. Mac
Corkle, of our own State, writes on
the subject as follows:
am an enthusiastic sympathizer
with the Cuban patriots, and say
emphaticaIly that the United States
Government should recognize the
independence of Cuba at the earliest
possible moment.
I expressed that sentiment in
public speech few days ago and
added that Spain should be notified
to keep hands off, and was greeted
with such hearty applause that I
was unable to proceed for several
minutes.
1t is very evident that our gov
eminent must acquiesce in the ur-
gent demands of its people. We,
as a iberty-loving people, are in
duty bound to recognize Cuba as
belligerent country and to give the
immunities of war. With this step
taken Cuban liberty is inevitable

Enforce the Contract.


In the contract between the Coun-
ty Court and the Ohio River Rail-
road Company, in consideration of
the right-of-way over the old coun-
ty road between Henderson and
GalIipoIis Ferry, it was specifically
set forht in the conditions that if the
County Court should give said rail
road the public highway, free of
charge for road bed, that the said
railroad company would build and
maintain a suitable and satisfactory
roadway for the use of the public,
along side said railroad. This con-
tract was made some years ago, but
so far the said railroad company has
failed to comply with its part of the
contract, and the Daily Register
now calls attention to the fact, and
insists that our County Commits
sioners should see to it that the con-
tract on the part of the railroad
company is carried out. The inter
ests of the travelling public demands
this and the interests of the tax
payers demands it also. We are
told the public road down that way
is now in a very dangerous condi-
ton. If the company is not COM
PEELED to build this road the County
Court will have to do so, and this
will add more burdens to the al
ready over burdened taxpayers of
the county. Enforce the contract.

Sent the Wrong Corpse.

A Wheeling man who came up
from New Martinsville last evening
tells of a peculiar incident, rather
exciting, that caused a great deal
of excitement at Limestone, back in
Wetzel from New Martinsville.
Several days ago, it is said, Mrs
Blair, a patient in the insane asyl-
UNI at Weston, died and her remains
were shipped to New Martinsville,
directed to her sons, who live at
Limestone. On Wednesday they
came in TO town and got the corpse,
taking it to their home. Yesterday
arrangements were made for the
funeral, which was to take place at
the German church in Limestone.
Before removing the body to the
church, the relatives gathered at the
house to take farewell look at the
features of the dead woman. The
coffin lid was raised, but to the as
constituent, perplexity and horror
of the sorrowing relatives, the form
inside was not that of Mrs. Blair,
who was woman of about seventy
years, but that of a young woman,
probably thirty, with reddish hair
The scene that followed can be i'm
agined.
To add to the dramatic force of
the affair ono man said that the
dead woman looked like a Mrs.
Schubach, a patient at the asylum,
also from WetzeI county, not far
from Limestone. Mr.. Schubach was
hurriedly summoned, but when
shown the corpse denied that it was
that of his wife, of whose death he
had received no notification from
the asylum authorities.
The result of the matter was that
the corpse of the unknown was box
ed up again, taken to New Martins
vile and reshipped to Weston by
way of Parkersburg. 1t looks as
though the mishap had been caused
by the carelessness of the asylum
authorities. The case is similar to
one that occurred about a year ago,
when two persons died at the asyl
UNI and their bodies were sent to
the wrong places. The second
chapter in the present case will be
awaited with interest. The asylum
officials will have a lively time
"telling how it was."-Wheeling

Dr. Parkhurst has commenced his fall campaign in New York. In giving out his prospectus he remarked: ''This year my point is to work with you to crush that durky beast whose hounds already resound in Fourteenth street." That was precisely what he said, and it has greatly puzzled the press. Hounds" may have meant "howls,' but, as one paper put it, "durky" was too much for conjecture except on the theory that the boro- goves were mimsy

THE TELEPHONE NEWSPAPER.

The telephone newspaper-which, by the way, is not a newspaper at all which is said to have been successfully conducted at Pesth, Hungary, has been described at some length recent ly.
 If the scene of the enterprise had ben laid in the moon, the description might be set down as clever piece of fiction, but we are assured that the telephone newspaper is a fact, and that the description of it's workings is accurate.
 The Pesth Telephone Hinondo, or Herald. is the only enterprise of the kind in the world. The subscription price is two cents day, and there are 6.OOO subscribers who receive the news as they would ordinary telephone mes sages. A special wire 16S miles long runs along the windows of the houses of subscribers, which are connected with the main line by separate wires and special apparatus which prevents the blocking of the system by an accl- dent at one of the stations.
 Within the houses long, flexible wires make it possible to carry the re- ceiver to the bed or any other part of the room. The news is not delivered as it happens to come in, but is care fully edited and arranged according to a printed schedule, so that subscrib- CT at any time knows what part Of the paper he is going to hear. It begins with the night telegrams from all parts of Europe Then comes the calandar of events for the day, with the city news and the list of strangers at the hotels After that follows ar ticles on music, art and literature.
 The staff is organized like that of any other newspaper, and is only on duty from 7:3O in the morning till 9:30 at night. After the copy has passed through the editors hands, for the paper is subject to the same restrict ions as ordinary newspapers and is liable for it's communications, it is giv- en to the speakers These are ten men with strong voices and clear enunciation, who work in shifts of two at time and talk the news through the telephone. There are twenty eight editions uttered day.
 Additions to the first edition are an- nounced as news items To fill up the time when no news is coming in the subscribers are entertained with vocal and instrumental concerts. These were at first given for them especially in the office of The Hirnondo, but now the wire is in communication with the opera house and the music halls, and on Sundays and Saints days with the churches.
 Harper's Weekly, commenting upon this entertaining story, says: 'If all this really happens at Pesth, and not in the moon, PeSth must be the finest place for illiterate, blind, bedridden and incurably lazy people in the world. It would not appear, however, that telephone newspaper is of value as a

A LIVE SUBJECT.

The Republican has frequently eX-
 pressed itself in favor of the govern
 ment control of the telegraph system.
 For the last quarter of a century the
 telegraph system in England has been
 owned and operated by the govern
 ment as an integral part of the post office. The system has been eminent ly satisfactory. The service is as care full and studiously watchful of the pub lie interest as the postoffice itself, and the rates have been reduced until now a message of twenty words is sent any where in the United Kingdom for twelve cents. A still cheaper rate than that is contemplated at an early date.
 Judge Walter Clark in recent ar ticle advocates a similar transfer of the telegraph to our postoffce. He predicts the following advantages:
 Q) A uniform rate of ten cents for ten words, between all points, or pos sibly less; @ an increase in individu- al messages of at least ten for every one word now sent; (3) an increase in press dispatches of thirty words or more for every one now sent; (4 a popularization of the telegraph for all uses, social or business; (5) an increase in the promptness of delivery, the average there being now seven to nine as against two to three hours formerly; (6) no section would be des- titute, but at each one of our seventy | thousand postoffices there would be a | telephone or telegraph. By adopting the telephone at most postofices, in- stead of the telegraph, the increase in the number of postoffice employees would be inconsiderable.
 Originally, Judge Clark says, the telegraph belonged to the postof1ice, but was abandoned to private corpora ions, against the advice of Henry Clay and other statesmen, on account of it's expense.
 The high rates at present prevailing cause the telegraph to be little used for ordinary social or business mes sages, not more than eight per cent of he messages being of that character. h Belgium where the rate is less than one cent per word the social and or linary business messages are sixty hree per cent. The average telegraph ate now charged in this country is hirty-one cents per message
 Experts say that our government could probably afford, with the vast increase of business, uniform rate of i've cents, as the average cost of a message is about three cents. Accord ng to experts the telegraph plants now n use could be superseded by the gov ernment with superior plant at $15,- 100000, while the present corporations Ire strangling commerce to earn heavy dividends on a watered stock of over $50, 100000.
 As a matter of law the telegraph system is the most essential part of he postal service and ought not to be eft in the hands of private corpora ions.

Never Fails of a Market.

Dairying is the grandest help-out
the farmer has to-day. There is not,
in my opinion, the slightest reason for
fearing that. frst-class butter, prop
erly marketed, will ever fail to be
profitable to the maker. There is too
much poor butter manufactured for
that. Let those who wish to profit by
it make only strictly high-grade
article, and the price is all right for
all they have to sell Some localities
may make one way of selling best, and
some another. Each individual but
ter maker must study the situation for
himself am speaking of home but
ter-making, not to creamery butter
makers. l believe the place to make
the butter is at home on the farm.
Not that would do away with tho
creameries, but for clear profit the
home dairy will come out ahead Il
properly managed. The work. OF
eourse, is also greater than where the
milk or cream is sent TO the creamery.
