For false prctense wasted opD0run-
tiles, disregard Of the peoples inter
ests, gross incompetency, narrow par
usanshlp ana undignided, Gissraceful
and scandaIous conduct, the hrst Re
publican legislature in West Virginia
i'm twenty-five years, which closed itJ
session last Friday surpasses any
former legislative body that ever ass
sembled at the capital or anywhere
else jim the State.
The record Of this body of part.sans
and incompetents. which viii be found
reviewed at some length elsewhere
this morning. is o shameful tale of
do-nothingness. belplessness, promises
unfulaued and foul-smelling scandal,
which tine majority members and
party would much prefer to have
buried i'm oblivion. but which must
stand as q De- ing monument to- Re
publican false pretenses, incompetency
and hypocrisy.
II is q truly Republican record Of
labor slapped in the face and wealthy
corporations protected and allowed TO
oscaDe the payment Of their just share
Of taxes: Of needed mining laws and
other reasonable and necessary leg
islation asked for by the wage-workers
killed without reason or proper exam
nation: Of an attempt to entraD the
State into acknowledging a third Of
the Virginia debt; Of outrageous scan
Cal in the school-book question; Of par
tisan attempts to capture the Sate ia-
situations for the spells; ana of Re-
publican charges against Democratic
MANAGEMENT of those institutions PROV
on utterly false from the ground up
And this pitiful record followed upon
such a nigh mountain Of promises and
pretenses regarding the great things
that were to- be done and the reforms
IN be launched by a Republican bus
mess Legislature as to make the thing
no less ridiculous tlan shameful and
discredible. Flushed with their re-
,oarkable victory at the polls, it would
seem that the Republican bosses aimed
SO high that they fell over backward
in the mi-e oil wasted opportunity and
incapacity.

RowlIne Notes.

Most Of the players in the Musee
League will be equipped with sweaters
and caps during the championship con
tests.
Several bowlers have formed pool
on the winner Of the individual cham
pionship.
il is about time to agitate the projsct
OF a banquet and distribution Of prizes
10 wind up the season in the Wheeling
League.
Iii probable that there will be three
summer leagues, the Musee, and one
each on the alleys out the pike, and on
the South Side.
Mcclure presented his Brownie cap to
friend after the team met with its
first two successive defeats.
There will be three games each night,
and no practice contest, in the Musee
league.

NEARING AN END.
Both Bowling Seasons win Close This
Week.

Tho bowling season in the South Side
League closed last week, but there are
yet one or two postponed games TO be
played. There has been no change in
the relative position Of the leading
teams during the past few weeks.
In the Wheeling League, this week
will wind up the season, and it promises
10 be very exciting, commencing with
the Nameless-WheelinR games to-
night on the Musee alleys. The Co.
lumbias will hardly finish better than
the position which they now occupy,
owing TO the fact that they lost one
game 10 the Pen and Pencils Saturday
night. The Pen and Pencils and
Wheelings are putting up "a stiff fight for
tail end honOrs.
The Musee League project is meeting
with general favor, and il is possible
that the League will be organized with
twelve clubs. There are already six or
seven clubs which have promised 70 en-
ter. The Pen and Pencils will be
merged into the Metropolitans, which
will be considerably strengthened.
