THE bill to repeal the act estab-
fishing IA Criminal Court in Wayne
county has passed both houses of the
Legislature. 1t has our approval.
There was never any necessity for
such Court in that county. 1t was
secured, not because it was needed,
but because of the opportunities of
the man who, il seems, had a cinch
on the judgship and by the disgrace
ful log-rolIing which characterized
theproceedings ofthe Legislature two
years ago in the passage of so many
criminal court bills. The Republi-
cans will do well to abolish the last
one of them.

but has appointed an assistant at

One Man Power.

We have in this country some
wonderful exhibitions of lone man
power"
For example there is Hon. II. G..
Lockney, a populist, and a member
Of the State Senate of West Vir-
ginia. According to Democratic au-
thority he has been the cause of all
this winter weather. He, Lockney,
ran the mercury down to 20 degrees
below zero, and piled snow upon
snow. He raised the waters,
" busted" the boons and gorged the
rivers with ice. Worse than that he
elected Elkins to the United States
Senate and beat Anderson. Worse
than that, he is at the bottom Of the
Brooklyn strike. Worse than that,
he melted the revolt in Hawaii, and
finally it is coming to be pretty gen.
orally credited in Democratic circles
that he instigated the Turks to mas.
sacre the Armenians.
A wonderful man is Lockney, the
Populist.--TheM Man.
No, no! Democrats have never
said more than this: That Lockney
went to Charleston snorting Popu-
list, but had hardly gotten on the
ground before he sold out for a mess
Of pottage in the form of clerk
ship or two for some of his friends
and then went bag and baggage into
the Republican camp.

CAN lT BE POSSIBLE ?-We no
tice that the bill introduced by the
the Honorable Senator, Tom Davies.
providing for the establishment of
State Preparatory School, at Mont
gomery, as a sort of annex to the
State University, has passed the
Senate and now goes to the House
of Delegates.
We can hardly believe that the
Legislature seriously CONCENTRATES
the establishment of such school
at such place. II will be seriously
questioned whether the Legislature
should undertake to establish such
a school anywhere in the State at
this time; but the folly of locating
1T ut Montgomery where the sur
roundings are so unfavOrabIe aud
Wher" such school could not posi-
Oily prosper, must be apparent to
every one ut all acquainted with the
locality and existing conditions
there. Mr.. Davies would do we'll
to employ his efforts in some other
direction.

confederate Home.

ult., pursuant to the call Of S. =. ,
Green, Commander of Camp Jack !
son at Charleston, to take appropri.
ate action looking to the establish
mcnt and maintenance i'm this State
ct home for disabled and needy
Confederate soldiers.
Capt. c. 5. White, of Hampshire
county, presided, and Flintlock
Perry, II. ID. Mcfarland and Thos.
III. Dennis acted as Secretaries. On
motion Of Col. Green, series Of
resolutions, offered by him, was
adopted providing for the adoption
of "A Constitution and BY Laws, the
obtaining of charter, &c. These
resolutions also provide for an ex-
ecutiVe committee in each Senatorial
district and also in each county. A
resolution was adopted urging the
ladies of the State to organize asso-
Citations in aid Of the enterprise.
The resolutions offered by Col.
Green having been adopted, the as
ISOLATION proceeded to the election
of officers which resulted as fol-
lows:
PRESIDENT.
:. =. Green, of Charleston.

Thirteenth District--Col. r. p
Chew, of jefferson.
FOR PERMANENT SECRETARY.
Colonel j. Bernard Peyton, of Ka,
nawha, was elected by reclamation
John q. Dickinson, of Charleston
was elected Treasurer.
The meeting also urged the forma
ton of Confederate Camps in all the
counties. We therefore suggest the
organization of a camp in Green
brier at our May Court and hope
that appropriate steps will be at once
taken to this end. There are many
Confederate soldiers in this county
and we doubt not that all of them
will take pleasure in aiding the en-
terprise now on foot in every way
possible. We can do nothing, how.
ever, until proper organization is
effected. Who now will move in
the organization of Greenbrier
camp?
There were many pleasing Incl.
dents of the meeting at Charleston,
among them the speech of Judge
Campbell, of Monroe county, nomi.
mating Col. Peyton for one of the
ice-Presidents, and the speech OF
MIR, Groves, delegate in the Legisla-
ture from Nicholas county. Mr..
Groves was soldier in the Union
army, but when the South laid down
its arms the war, with him, was
over, and, like Grant, he was for
peace. His speech showed the warm
est sympathy for the end the meet
ing had in view and he announced
his readiness to aid the enterprise in
every way possible. His patriotic
sentiments and touching expressions
of sympathy brought tears to the
eyes Of many of the old veterans
present.

The monster whaleback City Of Everett
pulled out from the Oregon Improvement
Company's coal bunkers yesterday after
noon at 3.3i o'clock for San Francisco with
the largest load OF coal ever shipped by
- O. l. Company from this place. The
exact figures. taken by the official
weigher showed that there were slowed
away in the mammoth hulk 3ss1 tons. The
event was also important as IL marked the
first coal laden trip of the whale5ack from
this side of the line. she having previously
been loaded with Comax coal.
All day long the bunkers were filed with
sight seers, and Master Buchanan gave
orders TO allow all visitors aboard. The
opportunity Of looking over the craft that
while still strange in appearance has
come pretty near convincing dOubters that
she rs all right In every particular. was
eagerly accepted. The officers were con-
stantly on hand and did everything in
their power 10 give the visitors pleasant
time.
About O'Clock the last bit of coal was
in. and then the work Of screwfng down
the hatch began> AS the cover was hauled
on by means OF big iron hooks the people
on the bunkers watched the proceedings
with great interest, and were constantly
passing remarks on what a huge sub
merged craft she was.
see that she was about thirty or forty feet
longer than the coal bunkers proper them
selves. Her actual length is 361 feet, and
when loaded the highest point on her shell
is not more than eight feet above water.
Yesterday the mark on her side showed
that she drew nineteen feet OF water.
Everything about the whaleback is a
model OF neatness, and the apartments in
the sort OF house at the stern are finely
fitted UP. She Is lighted throughout by
electricity, and everything that can he
done by the aid OF steam Is not over
looked.
J. s Gibson. the first officer. said that he
thought they would make the trip to San
Francisco In about eighty hours.

seem TO think that the enterprise is too
much for this part Of the country, but the
work Is before them
In speaking of the different Goals, First
Officer Gibson said that the Comax coal
occupied forty-one cubic feet ton and
that the coal taken In this city took up
forty-four cubic feet a ton.
