CHARLESTON, Jan. q. 1895.

NhAhLE6ION, JAN. -, lCJO-
The House Judiciary committee
reported favorably Saturday, on
House bills No. 146, amending
chapter %, of the code, as amended
By chapter IL, acts of 1868; No. 147,
amending section 10, chapter 80, OF
the code; No. 14S, relating to re
moval from Office of county and dis
trict officers; No. 161, amending sec
ton Is, and 16, chapter III, of the
code; No. 1913, amending section 30,
chapter 81, of the code.
The committee on humane insti-
tutiOns and public buildings, report
ed House bill No. 81, establishing
girls reform school, without recon-
mendation, because a similar bill is
pending in the Senate.
The Virginia debt question is
again assuming proportions, and
the Republicans are now trying to
get Democrats to shoulder part of
the responsibility. But it is not
likely any Democrats will support
any measure looking to saddling
any portion of this debt on West
Yirginia's shoulders.
The school book men had hear
ing before the finance Committee
Friday and Saturday. The repro
sentatives of these concerns had a
hearing, one at a time, so that
none knew each others proposition.
A bill in some form will be intro
duced this week. We trust it will
be in the interest of the people, and
not in the interest of the book
monopoly.
A resolution was introduced in
the Senate, by Senator Young, pro
posing an amendment to the con-
stitution providing for woman
suffrage.
The bitter skirmish begun Satur-
day in the Senate, on Lockney' s
bill to reduce the State levy and in
crease the State School levy.
a bill is now before the Legisla-
ture, that if passed, as it should be,
will likely drive out all foreign
building associations. 1t provides
that all foreign associations doing
business in this State shall put up a
guarantee of 100000 in bonds. 1t
will not affect those already in bust
ness here, and they will be permit

SUCCESS.

For the DAILY REGISTER.
The tel mination of what we may at.
tempt is something that interests us to
great extent. 1t is a subject which
always interested intelligent people and
always will. This is attributed to the
fact that we all have ambition, aspira-
tions and desires; consequently all make
attempts to do something.
There arc but two Examinations to any
thing we attempt and they await us
from the start. To anyone not imme
diately connected with or dependent
upon us it makes little difference which
end we arrive at; but to us ii means
much, perhaps all the world contains
for us. On the one hand is success, sat
isiaction. contentment and happiness:
on the other, failures, mis- cry and may
be ruin. This being true it is necessary
that we study the methods of sucdess
and the causes of failure Tie person
who neg'ects these does himself an in
justice and those depending upon him
an injury. We are to remember THAT
success is the exception and THAT 'l'til-
ures are on the increase" Ti1Is is be
lieved by many who are nSs :inclfh6d to
look on the dark side of things. What
is the reason for these failures, and what
will tend to make US more SUCCESSFUL,
are questions both pertinent and to the
point? Ii there are rules to insure The
attainment OF our purposes-wEdtever
they may be-to learn fIcsp rules
should be our first endeavs-.s The per
son giving such rules is a -benefactor to
the human race:
Failures in the present days are GER
tainly not caused by a lack OF opportuni-
ties to succeed, or laci; OF intellectual
ability or by lack of education to fit US
for the battles of life.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox has beautifully
said:
To know thy bent, ana then pursue,
Why, that is genius, nothing else;
But he who knows what not to do,
Holds half the secret OF success.
A young man may enter social or
business life with all the advantages
and requisite qualities for success; may
have wealthy father to back him and
kind friends to encourage his efforts, but
ii he relies on these factors to push him
ahead of the army of men who are ever
struggling for supremacy, instead OF his
own efforts, he Will be shortly forced to
the wall evidently in spite of all his
relatives and friends may try to do, be-
come hopeless failure.
Success comes to those who merit it
and to no others. The acquisition OF
money is not true standard upon
which to base degrees of success.
Many reckon from this basis, but his
tory has proven it to be a wrong idea
and one that has brought failure to its

January 10th, 1879.
The Virginia debt question will
not down, as will be seen from the
following dispatch to the Wheeling
Register, from Washington:
"Faets have come to light here
that leave no doubt that a powerful
syndicate is at work trying to sad
die part of the old Virginia State
debt on West Virginia.
"Agents of the syndicate are now
in Washington endeavoring to con
vert Vest Yirgipians here to the
scheme which they want to put
through during the present session
of the West Virginia Legislature.
"wbat the syndicate wants to do
is to have the Legislature make an
arrangement with Virginia to as
sumo FIVE million dollars of the
fifteen or sixteen million which the
latter claims is West Virginia s
share of the old debt. This is the
magnificent prize which the syndi-
cate is working for and which its
members believe they will obtain
through the action of the present
Republican Legislature of West
Virginia. As the syndicate obtain
ed the West Virginia certif
Gates which it members hold
at from two to six cents on the
dollar, their profits, if they succeed
in saddling a FIVE million debt on
West Virginia, can be easily cal
culated. Five million dollars is
about one third the amount of
certificates issued. AS they cost
the present holders on an average,
say FIVE cents on the dollar, and as
the folders will obtain on them
thirty three cents on the dollar if
their plan succeeds, their profits
will be twenty eight cents on every
dollar. For the total issue, which
cost s75O,OOO, they will get $4,000
600, or profit of S4,25O,OOO.",
That Wall Street is making an
effort to bleed West Virginia, must
be evident to everybody. The
question now is, will the Legisla-
ture allow them to succeedP The
taxpayers of the State must watch
and wait. Money is a powerful
lever, all know.
tbs not likely any law abolishing
the fees of officers can be passed
at this session of the Legislature,
but there are several bills pend
ing, tending in this direction.
There is a pretty strong feeling
among the members against med
ding with the judicial circuits of
this State; but still bill is before
the Legislature to re arrange the cir
cults. W. nave no IDEA, however,
that 1t will become a law, for the
reason that it will be impossible to
fix the circuits SO as to accommo-
date all the lawyers who want to be
Judges.
As we said before, in a former
letter, the school book fight is now
on in earnest; and all the highway
men lobbyists are here, with pockets
full OF money, and checks for use, if
more money is needed to secure the
contract for furnishing the school
books of the State, at double the val
ue of books. Why should the Leg
islature permit this robbipg OF the
people?

stock. The feeling is pretty strong

Charleston Gazette. ,SWbiIe no
body believes. that the Legislature
in all the talk in whiehiJ is indulg-
ing concerning the aboIition of the
fee system, yet, fit should wipe it
out, it should4avoid. the other ex-
IRENE of giving 10 Slate officials sal
aries totally inadequate for the
amount of work done. No matter
whore employed. tho laborer is
worthy of his hire, and salaries of
public officials should consist with
the amount of labor attached to the
office. The Governor of the State
receives annually for his services,
the munificent sum of s., 200.
The bill imposing a yearly license
of 5000 to sell paper wrapped cigar
etts in West Virginia has passed the
Senate. We doubt whether it will
have smooth sailing in the House,
but if there is anything that ought
to be stopped it is the nasty, IN
healthy, sinking cigarette habit.
We hope the bill will pass.
The Legislature seems to be in
favor of a sensible disposition of the
Virginia debt question, but not re-
reputation. West Virginians are
in favor of paying her share ofthe
debt whenever it is ascertained in
the proper manner. An investiga-
ton as to what she paid out and got
back will disclose the fact that our
real indebtedness is but trihe, il
anything at all.
A new twist will be given TO the
fee system question to morrow when
Mr.. Smith, of Wheeling, will intro,
duce in the House of Delegates a
bill providing for an Insurance
Commissioner to examine the stand:
ing of all insurance companies, a
duty which now dovolves upon the
State Auditor. 1t will provide that
hereafter every insurance company
organized in this State shall deposit
with the State Treasurer S25, 600 in
approved bonds; that the Commits
sioner to be created by the proposed
law shall have the oversight of all
insurance companies of the State,
and shall receive a salary of g, 900
per annum, to be paid out of the
fees for examining the standing OF
insurance companies, and the bal.
ance of such fees, which will amount
to over $4,000, are to be covered
into the State tFeggury.
The railrond coal bill for the pro-
lection of tho coal operators from

introduced in the Senate, while
possibly little too severe in its
penalties, is good measure and is
based on simple justice to the coal
interests of the Kanawha and New
River valleys, which now are com
pletely at the mercy of railroad
corporation. 1t should pass.
