West Virginia aud tho Baltimore

West Virginia aud tho Baltimore
Centennial.
The action Of the state senate in
adopting the amendment to the appro.
priation bill providing ior West Vir.
ginia exhibit at the Baltimore centen.
NAL, will be endorsed by majority OF
the people. who believe in progress and
are in favor oil all movements looking to
state development. 1t ia hoped that
when the matter again comes before the
house Of delegates that body will re-.
verse its action OF last week and accept
the amendment.
There were members OF a former
legislature who opposed tho appropria.
ton for 4 proper representation OF the
states interests at the Chicago World
Fair, but the proposition prevailed and
timo has virdicated its wisdom. That
IVES. Virginia lost nothing by tho part
she took at the fair, but that on the
SulNIAIS oaO Wa auuuNAukiS Iopallt
canno: BIO disputed. The money was
well invested, as money judicioualy
spent in advertising always is. The
amount asked for the Baltimore exhibi.
is comparatively small. That i, will
benefit the whole state no one can sue
cessiully deny.
Tho reason urged by the opposition,
that the only benefit will be to the cap.
i.alists who own coal aud timber lands,
is absurd on the face OF it. State devel.
opment means au increase in the value
of all kinds Of property; it means an
enlarged homo market for tho farmers,
more employment for wage workers and
increased revenues to the state. In
short, it means greater prosperity to all
the people.
The Republican party has always
boosted that it is party OF progress
and development. Let it not DO said
that Republican legislature has taken
4 backward step.

The Two Races Are Still Taught in the
Florida School.

New York, November s9.-Inquiries at
the rooms of the American Missionary
Association of Congregational ohurohes,
show that the Florida law providing for
the fine and imprisonment OF teachers
who should teach white and black pupils
in the same school has not been enforced.
Rev. A. +. Beard, D. D., national
secretary of the association, said the law
was Florida persecution directed against
tho Orange Park school. He added:
'sThe American Missionary Association
Is running the school ssexactly as before,
despite several fulminations and procla-
nations of Mr.. Sheats, that he would
cause the immediate arrest of any one
who disobeyed the enactment,' which he
calls law. "a Hottentot ought to know
that an enactment contrary to justice,
canLot properly be called o law. White
pupils are attending the school, reciting

bulgaria, says: 'sThe missionaries at
Harpoot, Bitlis and Mar ash, are protect
Gu py soldiers, and the streets are unsafe
Ior any Christian. Confidence is weak.
IL Is difficult to send money for the per-
sonal needs of the missionaries.
Inc confinement of missionaries within
ohelr own homes is necessary and means
cessation of all their work. In view
OF all that has occurred, there is fear OF
personal injury, Notwithstanding the
protection given by Turkish soldiers. : :
Armenians are confined to their homes

Walls, describes the state of things
Throughout the entire Turkish empire.
Inability to send money to missionaries
Tor their personal needs, is sure sign
that they are unable to carry ON relief
work, and that they may soon be re-
duced to want and possibly death by
starvation.
There are 25 missionaries in the three
places named. The course of events shows
that the centres Of attack are. those where
four educational institutions of the
American Board are located. Revolution
ary sentiments are not encouraged in
these institutions, hence disposition
