Here's the latest rumor from Wash
ington: From apparently excellent
authority, the statement comes that
the Mexican mission was offered first
to Hon. YIN. L. Wilson, of West Vir-
ginia, who declined. His reasons for
SO doing, it is stated, were first because
he does not desire to get out of touch
with the people of his district and the
people of the United States; and, Sec
end, because he will soon become a
member Of Mr.. Cleyeland's cabinet.
1t is believed that Postmaster-GeIeral
sisssll will retire and that his success
or will be the tariff reform leader from
West Virginia

THE readiness with which the Uni
ted States Senate is ready to squander
any amount of money for the comfort
of its members was strikingly shown
on Monday. The dwelling-house Of
the late James G. Blaine was recently
bought by Chicago syndicate, which
proposed to build theatre on its site.
Senator Cameron Of Pennsylvania owns
the adjoining property, and he prefers
that the Blaine lot should be convert
ed into a lawn, having decided objec-
tons to the proposed theatre. He
therefore had an amendment put to
one of the appropriation bills provid-
ing that the government should pur-
chase the property, on the far-fetched
plea that some day it might need IL
site for building Of its OWL
the Senate has actualh =
enormous sum of ~ to give
Senator Camsa1 side yard to his

TWO RAscALs.

-.
Little more than week ago it
was announced that the only bank in
Lexington, Va, had been completely
wrecked, and some of its creditors
ruined, by gigantic thefts which its
cashier has carried ON for more than a
score of years. A few days ago news
of a like character came from Lynch
burg, though in this case the teller's
theft was not of so large an amount,
or its result so disastrous The fact
that both Of these defaulters seemed
to be even of high character and ire
proachable conduct, makes it grave
question to every community which
has bank as to how it can provide
an effective safeguard against such
frauds. There would seem to be no
other way than the searching and con-
slant inspection of the books of the
bank by competent accountants. The
special lesson of the Lexington affair
is, that such inspections, if made at
stated intervals of which the bank Off
GERS have notice, are almost useless;
for in such case the accounts can be
manipulated beforehand so as to con-
ceal any discrepancies. The conse-
quent duty resting on bank directors
is therefore clear. 1t is Of course i'm
portant that they should carefully con-
slider the solvency and credit of all ap-
plicants Cor loans; but it is yet more
important that they should exercise
constant and jealous scrutiny over the
books of the bank Experience shows
that carelessness in the former respect
will cut down the profits of the stock
holders; but that negligence in the
latter may bring total loss, and even
ruin, upon stockholders and depositors
alike.

credit, did not saddle upon West Vir-
ginia that odious debt. But just let
the people elect a legislature of Mr.
Elkins's choosing next year, and see
what the result will be.

IT has been many years-if ever
since lobbyists fourished as they did
at the recent session of the West Vir-
ginia Legislature. Vultures do not
congregate where there is no carrion.
The fact that so many of these shysters
piled their trade at Charleston is am
pie evidence of the corruption that
existed in the legislative halls On
the school-book question many men,
bers seemed to put themselves up for
the highest bids obtainable. When
they had gotten the limit they voted
If the limit was raised they changed
their votes. The Republicans put ap-
parent party advantage over every
other consideration, and the result
will cost the people very dear when
the school book legislation is enforced
Among the lobbyists are some men
who have aspired to be political lead
ers in the State. They sold them
selves for few pieces Of silver-and
for very small price forever degrad-
ed themselves in the eyes Of honest
men.

! a Des Moines woman who has been
troubled with frequent colds concluded
to try an old remedy in new way,
and accordingly took a tablespoonful
-four times the usual dose) of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy just before going
to bed. The next morning she found
that her cold had almost entirely dis
appeared. During the day she took a
few doses of the remedy Zone teaspoon
full before going to- bed), and on the
following morning awoke free from all
symptoms of the cold. Since then she
has on several occasions used this rem
edy in like manner, with the same good
results, and is much elated over her
discovery of SO quick a way of curing
cold. For sale by Gibson, druggist.

AFTER all the promises and boasts
as to what a Republican legislature
would do, the session has ended and
the record closed without a single
measure for the public good having
become law. Many bills were pro-
posed, but none got through. The
Democrats cannot be charged with the
failure, for there was no obstructive
efforts whatever on their part. The
Republican majority failed to keep its
promises either from its inability or
for fear some corporation might be
hurt. Let the people remember these
broken promises in 1896. ~

THE school book bill that was f.
nally passed by the Legislature pro-
vides for a number of changes. The
prices named on all books, except
spoilers and readers, were from l2s
to Is per cent lower than the prices
under the old contract, and upon
spoilers and readers % per cent less.
The prices named were those to be
paid to the publishers at their. own
warehouses, f. o. b., and also the
prices to be paid by the schools. De-
positories were to be established for
the purpose of getting the books to
the pupils in the schools, and for this
the repositories are to receive y per
cent of the price of all books, and this
is to be raised by special levy in
each district. Some of the opponents
of the bill say that the changes will
cost $4,000 to the people of the State.

SOME weeks ago Congressman James
Capehart in an interview strongly in
timated his belief that Senator elect
Stephen B. Elkins was deeply interest
cd in the West Virginia debt question,
Mr.. Elkins thereupon wrote MrCape-
hart letter, which has been published
in the Republican newspapers, virtu-
ously protesting against the insinua-
ton and with a gieat air of injured
innocence calling for proof to support
the insinuation. The willy Stephen
has covered up his tracks so well that
he probably knows no positive evil
dence can be produced against him,
and his bluff is taking well with his
party friends. We would advise Mr..
Elkins, however, not to protest too
much in this matter. Circumstances
corroborative of Mr.. Capehart's belief
may become embarrassingly numerous
and pointed.

in national affairs; this is the cause in
which we will triumph over them in
State affairs. 1t would be premature to
undertake to outline policy upon
this basis even if we felt competent TO
do so. But we would most earnestly
urge all our leaders, all who aspire to
leadership hereafter, to give their most
careful consideration to the evils which
now beset us and the remedies for those
evils. Let the results be stated and
discussed in the press of the State until
all the people have an intelligent appre-
citation of them. Then when the lines
of battle shall be drawn once more, we
may formulate and advocate policy
whose support will overwhelm our enc
mics and whose consummation will en-
able our State to complete its destiny in
the fullest measure.

Youthful Prisoners.

There were nearly a dozen small boys in
the dock of the Police Court this morning,
charged with all sorts Of minor offenses.
Boys of ten years of age are not able to
put up good story in their own behalf
and the result is they usually get the limit
of the law, and the policemen who make
the arrests get an addition to their records.
One of these little fellows. named John
Holmes was charged with throwing a
stone. 1t was not serious case. only such
an offense as every small boy becomes en-
gagged in at some time in his life. In view
of this. the judges heart softened and he
imposed a fine of only s.. But there was
no one to pay his fine. and John has gone
down to the work house, where he will have
to live for nine days in a striped suit.
Robert Galloway, an eleven-year-old col
ored boy. was charged with vagrancy-"an
idle drunk and disorderly character"
The boys mother testified that he was
always running away from home and was
a very disc bedient Child.
We'll, that hardly seems to me to bear
out the charges in the information" said
Judge Kimball. you had better get pa
pers on the United States side of the court
charging the boy with incorrigibility and
then l ca send him to the reform school,"
This was done, and the boy has gone
down,
