IT appears that before the money
question can be settled it must be very
much unsettled.
THE baseball season has opened up
and the oyster time is over. Misfor-
tunes never come singly.
THE income tax Is pretty good
thing for the lawyers. Some fat fees
have been already earned.
WHAT'S the good Of having an IN
come tax law if II fails TO reach those
who have the big incomes?
The President Is perfectly sound on
the finance question, but he's as shaky
as ever on civil service reform.
THE dislike Of the gold bugs for ST.
yer and the hatred Of the silverites for
gold is only theoretical luminosity.
THERE Is talk Of putting up Presl-
dent Cleveland for a third term. Not
without lengthy interlude, please.
4 NAN from Morgantown this State
died recently from the excessive use Of
tobaceo-cut offin his llOth year. Let
this serve as a warning.
AT the risk Of being regarded mo-
uotonous We viii repeat our time-hOn-
ored advice 10 the Postmaster-Genelal:
Put Democrats Oh guard
GEN. GARRISON says that ez-Presi-
dent Harrison is a receptive candi-
date" for the Republican presidential
nomination. Of course heis.
THERE are two difficulties about the
free silver men They are very hard
to whip, in the first place, and second
", they never know when they are
licked.
TIE decision Of the Supreme Court
on the income tax law is bringing end
less confusion and trouble to the gov
eminent. The decision is neither flesh,
fowl nor good red herring.
-----------------~-----
For our part, We are in favor Of
giving the free silver advocates all
the rope they want, provided they can
give some guarantee that the country
shall not be hanged with them.
No financial straddler viii be elected
President next year Wheeling Regis
ter.
IN our opinion the straddler who
can straddle the widest Is most likely
10 be nominated and elected.
The Cuban revolutionists are pretty
nearly done for. In battle with the
government troops last week the lead
ers were killed and the rebel forces
completely scattered. The war Is
practically ended.
We think the President would do
the country a service if he would clean
out the recorders office in the District
ofColumbia. Removethe disreputable
occupants and place the Office in charge
Of a respectable white Democrat.
SOME Of the men who are shouting
80 loudly now for the glory Of the
American flag and an era Of conquest
by the United States were strangely
silent when they had a chance 10 fight
for the same some thirty years ago.
News comes from Charleston that
Judge C. P. Snyder, having gotten all
the Offices from the Democrats 10 which
he was entitled, VIII 60 over to the
Republican party. The average Ka-
nawba politician can give the cha
meleon pointers on the art Of changing.
--------------------~
If President Cleveland has his way
the next campaign VIII be a decisive
one so far as the money question Is
concerned. The President evidently
believes in making the issue and fight
ing to a finish. We think a settlement
Of the question one way or the other
would be better than the present con-
dition Of agitation.
