WHEELING, JANUARY /. lsoS.
Tho Old Year and tho New.

The year Just closed was moro than
ordinarily fruitful in sensational in.
cidents. It opened, as the preceding
year had closed, with Thousands Of will
ing men and women out Of employ
ment, in pressing want and clamoring
for something to do. Co1ey rose up,
got hearers for his silly talk, enlisted
followers and imitators and plagued the
country with the strolling bands Of
bummers.
Dsbs tried something novel in the
way OF rebellion and moved the general
government 10 the vigorous and de-
c;sive assertion OF its power 10 protect
interstate commerce against the Debs
sort OF thing. Thanks to the same
movement everybody understands now
that to interfere with the operation OF
a railroad in the hand, OF a receiver
appointed by court Of the United
States is contempt Of court and will be
punished as such.
A new tariff bill was passed and put
in operation, and soon after that the
party in power got such adrubbins as
no other party has had in the history OF
this country. Owing to The tariff avi.a.
ton and legislation the revenues OF the
countrv have cone steadily behind. The

Tho University and tho State Schools.
President Roynolds, Of the university,
has given somo strong reasons why tho
public schools OF tho state aud tho uni.
versity should DO brought into closer

system OF FREQ schools In thostato should
begin with tho frat stop in primary cd.

Properly arranged, such n system
would bo gain to tho pupil at every
step, even though no took but part OF
tho full course. Tho gain to those at.
tending tho university would be very
great, for II would probably do away
with tho preparatory department, aud
allow tho cost Of that department to be
added to tho real university work. II

nicely related in all its parts there would
be no need Of preparatory depart.

THE REASON WHY
Colonel l.. a. Martin, Ono of Knnawha's
Delegates, IL for Elkins.

Colonel l.. a. Martin, Ono of Knnnwha's
Delegates, IL for Eikin,.
One OF Kanawha's best known and
most distinguished members OF the next
legislature is Colonel L. A. Martin. lie
is close observer OF politics and OF
men, and his past experience as legis-
lator has equipped him thoroughly for
his duties at the coming session. The
next house will not have member who
is more familiar with his duties or moro
thoroughly understands his business
than Mr.. Martin. Speaking to a
Charleston Tribune reporter on the sem
atorial question, Mr.. Martin said,
among other things:
"As to Mr.. Elkins, | have made up
my mind to support him. He deserves
it. lie lie emphaticallv a seli.made man
and man OF the people. He may be
wealthy. but he has well earned every
dollar he owns. His wealth is a tribute
to American brains, genius. honesty
aud enterprise. and goes to show that
no American citizen, no matter how
humble. but has the opportunity to be-
como honored, influential aud wealthy
il he will only take advantage OF it. Mr..
Elkius has had experience in public al
fairs and has already shown himself 4
man, aud one who may be trusted; one
in whom We can take pride. He has
done much for his party, and no man
has done more than he to make West
Virginia blossom as tho rose and bring
her before the eyes OF the world.
'Under the circumstances ! am for
Mr.. Elkins for the senate. He is the
choice OF my. people. and this TACT in
fluonccs mo more than any other con-
sideration."

While In the moonlight slowly stroling
dreamed OF him. and only him.

saw the ballroom bright and gay.
heard the laughter round me stealing,
And would not turn my head away.
Amid the many merry dances.
! saw the form OF one love:

Then turned my head TO heaven above.
Tho night was Cold-tho stars were shining,
The bells sad tolling died away
While from the clouds the silver lining
Burst forth upon the New Years day.

This o1pedicnt was suggested before

DR.. Halls sermon Sunday.

Rev. j. n. Hall. of Fulton, KY,
preached the annual sermon to the
graduating class of Bethel Female
College Sunday morning at the Bap-
fist church. The audience was so
large that it was necessary to remove
the rolling partition and use both
rooms of the church. DR.. Halls SER
mon was one of the most profound
and scholarly discourses ever deliver
ed in this city on religious subject.
We regret that lack of space prohib-
its us from giving a synopsis of it.
DIR. Hall has the reputation of being
one of his denominations strongest
men in Kentucky. He is a close reas-
oner, powerful and eloquent orator,
and his attractive presence and man
ner at once secures the attention of
his hearers. His sermon was one of
his best efforts, and has been praised
in the highest terms by all who heard
it. DR.. Hall preached again at night
at the request of the pastor, Rev. Mr..
Nash. His audience was almost as
large as that at the morning service.
His sermon was also very fine eff
fort.

CONTRACT INWoLAsLE.
A Large sized Hole Knocked in the New
Constitution.

FRANKFORT, Ky. June 1.-The long
looked for bank tax cases were decid-
ed in the court of appeals today in
favor of the banks. The court stood
four to three, Chief Justice Pryor,
who wrote in thirty-five pages of le-
gal cap the main opinion of the court,
having Judges Hazelrigg, Eastin and
Grace to agree with him, and Judge
Paynter, who wrote in seventy pages
the dissenting opinion, being sup
ported in his views by Judges Lewis
and Guffy.
For more than a month the court
has been wrestling with the very
knotty questions presented in the ca
ses, and it was whispered about the
state house time and again that the
court was in a hopeless tangle, and
could not arrive at common ground
on most of the points at issue on
which to sand in an opinion. But at
last, as the abstracts of the opinions
below will show, the question of inn
pairing the obligations of contract
the vital point in the cases-fxed
the majority of the court on the side
of the banks, and while the cities and
counties will thereby lose their right
to tax the banks, the State will recov-
er her right of taxation on these in
situations, as under the Hewitt law,
at seventy five cents on each 500
valuation, which will be in lieu of all
other taxation, and which will not on
ly add about $4,000 per annum
hereafter to the state revenue, but will
oblige the banks to make
up the difference between 42a cents
and Is cents for the past three years,
when the revenue act went into effect,
and which, in itself, will aggregate
about $360,000, no small sum for the
State in these times of stringency tc
place to the credit of still larger de.
ficit in the general revenue fund
The greatest excitement prevails
here in consequence of the decision
The bankers were jubilaut and were
too happy to contain themselves. On
the other hand, the opposition is cor
respondingly depressed. The effect
of the decision will bring into the
state treasury from the banks about
$360,0OO, in addition to the 100000
that is regularly paid by them. This
will come near clearing up the de-
felt that is now pending.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1895-06-04
THELOCAL RESULTS,

The four banks of this city have
not paid any city and county taxes
pending this test case; by mutual
agreement, and there will be nothing
to refund. OF course this decision is
greatly to the advantage of the banks
and the State, and against the cities
and the counties. The tax rate here
for all purposes city, county and
State is $40 and by payinga75 cents
only to the State the banks save 81 .65
and the State gains 32a cents The
city loses $1.50 and the county 47i
cents on the hundred dollars.
The city is the heaviest loser of
course as the bank taxes would have
added many thousands of dollars to
the annual revenues.
1t is stated that the cases cannot be
to the supreme court, be-
cause the decision is in favor of the
claim of contract setup by the banks.
There is therefore no federal ques-
ton upon which the case can be ia
ken up. 1t is only in case when the
decision is against the claim that the
supreme court has jurisdiction. The
only recourse now is a motion for a
rehearing, which may or may not be
granted.
