West virginia aud the Presidency.


An esteemed friend OF the Intelligent
Ger. looking forward to the next Repub'
llean national convention, urges that
,the West Virginia delegates be chosen
with view to the nomination Of senn-
tor Elklns for the presidency, and be
asks; Can any one tell me why not?"
There arc several reasons why this
should not be done.
Senator Elklns is not candidate for
the presidency. There Is no Elklns
movement with regard to that Office.
West Virginia Is not strong enough to
make Il move in that behalf, II ever
the time comes for West Virginia topre-
sent candidate for the presidency It
viii be when there is enough outside
support to give the undertaking dig
nifty that will command for 1t respectful
consideration. This is not possible now,
The Republicans OF the country are
not including West Virginia In the list
OF states from which they viii make
their choice for the presidency. Maine
New York, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa nre the
states regarded Us having positive Re-
publican presidential quantities. The
masses Of the party could not be
brought to think seriously OF others. II
would not be good politics for West Vir-
gidla to enter upon "favorIte son"
campaign.
BY all the signs the Republicans OF
West Virginia are overwhelmingly for
Governor Mckinley for President. With
the highest respect for all who have
been named, the Republicans OF West
Virginia prefer the nomination OF the
Ohio statesman. This, not only be-
cause Governor Mckinley is good
nelghbor who has never failed to re-
spond to a call from this state when
his services were needed, but because OF
the services he has rendered to disparity
and his country and the services it is
believed he would render II elected to
the presidency,
II put to a popular vote to-day the
Republicans of West Virginia would
select solid Mckinley delegation to
the national convention. There are
some other preferences, but all Of them
combined, II expressed in ballots,
would not impair the solldlty Of the
delegation. There will have to be a
great change in sentiment between now
and the time for choosing delegates II
the result does not prove this to be a
correct view OF the situation.
This brings the conclusive answer to
our friends question. The Republic
cans OF West Virginia being for Cover
nor Mckinley. the West Virginia dele
CATION should be for him.

The President not only makes no re-
commentator with regard TO an In
crease of the revenues, but he regards
this Is n matter OF no consequence, He
is talking about the currency when he
remarks incidentally: I'm the present
stage Of our difficulty 1t is not easy to
understand how the amount OF our
revenue receipts directly affects II, Tho
important question is not the quantity
OF money RECEIVED In revenue pay
ments, hut the kind of money we main
tain and our ability to continue in
sound financial condition"
This is an amazing statement to come
from the President OF the United States
1t is not Understanding the import
ance OF the quality OF our money to say
that "our difficulty" is directly affected
by "the amount OF our revenue re-
ceipts" II u business mans expendl-
lures were keeping steadily ahead of
his receipts he would think that had
bearing and very direct one on his
financial condition, and his creditors
would be quick TO agree with him.
II business man had borrowed n
lapge sum OF money and used 1t to pay
his running expenses, and II the bal
ance continued to be on the wrong side,
no would think the amount OF money
coming In 10 him matter OF very great
Importance. The business OF the gov
eminent Is not so entirely different
from private business MS to sustain the
Presidents position, In the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1894, the expenditures OF
the government were S6s,SO3OOO more
than its revenues. In the fiscal year
1895 they were si2,S25, 900 in excess OF the
revenues.
The expenditures continue to exceed
the receipts, The treasury has had to
borrow money to pay ordinary running
expenses and in al! probability will
have to borrow more, again because the
revenues do not enable the government
to pay its way. Yet the President
thinks 1.-THE quantity OF money received
in revenue payments" is not important,
Taking this convenient view OF the
situation he avoids the discussion OF
question which has Impelled the country
to turn on his party and almost wipe It
out at the polls. The tariff which has
drained the treasury has drnlned the
pockets OF the people as we'll, and the
people want to see the balance once
more on the right side In both places.
II the senate and the President were
in agreement with the house the better
day would not be delayed long. The
Republican party knows how to pros
duce revenue for the treasury and the
people.

Waning roses round his head,

Folded palms and sealed eyes

With his mouth OF rosy red,

MINES AND RAILROADS.

Various reports are being circulated
in regard to the alleged finding of coal
in Monroe county. Scranton operators
have been prospecting in the vicinity of
Stroudsburg lately and declare that
despite all reports to the contrary there
is coal there and that before long it will
be in process of mining.
Unexpected orders were received at
all Lehigh Valley Railroad shops to
work but four days week until further
notice. The orders are understood to
grow out of the depressed condition of
the coal trade.
The Lehigh Valley Company is think
ing of fitting up picnic ground at
Quakake. Ministers of Schuylkill county
have requested the railroad officials to
fix place away from the large towns.
The Reading Company is working its
repair shops double time. Advantage is
being taken of the dullness in the coal
business to place its rolling stock in
first-class condition.

the United Mine Workers, that he and
his colleague on the board, John Dewitt,
were charging seventy-five cents for min

amount fixed by law. The third mem

evening, but did not assign the female

The proposals for cleaning the school
rooms were considered too high and
were laid over until the September

few words of advice were offered to
the teachers by President Mccarthy, in
which he counseled them to strive to
make the schools all that these insttu-

them to introduce only true American
principles and to keep the spirit of the
constitution Of the United States alive
at all times among those intrusted to
their care.

ORIFTON ITEMS.

There is some complaint here about
the manner the company's delivery
wagons are arranged when they arc
sent out with green truck, etc. 1t is
claimed that the best and choicest goods
are not exposed for sale when the wagons
are driven through certain parts of town,
being slowed away until the residences
of the bosses and foremen are reached.
The women folks complain of this dis
elimination, and would like to know
why it Is done. Our advice is to deal
with Freeland merchants if you are not
suited by the company.

Deafness is caused by an inilamed con-
