What the Registers Washington cor
respondent doesn't know about West
Virginia politics would make a large
volume. He has already carried the
state for the Democratic ticket next
year. and hus, hands down, succeeded
in "dislntesrutng" the Republican
party. This latter feat he has perform
ed by proving conclushely to his own
alleged mind that because West Nir-
ginia may be allotted only three of the
offices In the gift OF the house OF repre-
sentatives 1t is going to vote for free
trade In 1851 A notable feature of this
line OF reasoning Is that after he shows
that there are but 100 places to give out,
with 2ii Republican members to dis
tribute them among. he concludes that
West Virginia Republicans are to para
lyze the party because they are not
given more than three OF them, three
places being really a fair proportion Of
the whole number.
II this disinEenius correspondent will
take the time to become acquainted
with a few West Virginia Republicans
he will ind that they are not made OF
the sort OF stun he thinks they are.
They are the men who fought for a
quarter OF century against great odds
to rescue the state OF West Virginia
from the hands OF the Democratic par
~. and now. with complete victory in
sight. they have no Intention OF surren-
derlng the advantage already gained,
on account Of so trinlng a matter as
that which he names,
West Virginia Republicans are Re-
publlcans from principle. A party that
can stand twenty-five years OF defeat
and turn up at each succeeding election
with on increased vote, until 1t finally
accomplishes what II started out in the
beginning to do, is not party TO be
much affected because It doesn't get the
entire earth all ut once. The sort OF
buncombe the Registers man Is dish
ing. UP from the Washington end may
serve to please thoughtless Democrats.
but 1t holds out no hope to the practical
Democratic politician. who is able to
read other and more significant things
in the signs OF the times.

Harriet Dame, pffectionately dubbed
Mother Dame" by her adopted soldier
boys, is on the fair road to recovery
from her recent accident The heart
less female blcyClist who ran her down
and then made off has not yet been APP
pretended.
Though only minor treasury clerk,
Mother Dame Is woman with his
tory She came to Washington from
New Hampshire, where NJ the out
break OF the war she had offered the use
Of her home as u hospital for the Second
Volunteer Regiment OF that state when
1t was encumped near BY Her next
step, taken In defiance OF the Wishes OF
all her friends, was Ia Join this regi-
mCnt In the Geld and TO follow its for

the close OF the war she was on duty
wherever the fighting was the hottest.
At Fair oaks che worked IN the trench
cs with the men, caring Tor the wound
ed and dying. Twice during that battle
she was in imminent peril from burst
ing shells
Taken prisoner at the second battle
Of Bull Run, she was freely given a
pass through the lines In recognition Of
her attentions to suffering Union and
Confederate soldiers alike. At Gcttys-

she accompanied, the diamond Of the

also a gold badge suitably inscribed, n
gift from the veterans Of the Second
New Hampshire regiment. The lcgis-
lature Of New Hampshire extended her
"a vote Of thanks and presented her with
$500 but this money, together with
more received from pension provided

Aside from two accidents which have
come close toEethcr-u fracture Of the

time has dealt gently with Mother
Dame and her mental faculties have
apparently suffered no impairment.
Though eighty-onc years old, she Is
one OF the counters in the loans-and-

deserve her salary and never become
mere pcnslOner upon the government
that the department records show few
OF her younger associates who excel
her in quickness or general efficiency.
