Moses w. DoNALLY, State print
er, has applied to the State Printing
Commission to be relieved from his
contract. All the funds available for
printing have been exhausted, and
there can be no appropriation for that
purpose till the next session of the leg
islature, which comes in 1897 Other
departments of the State government
are in position to anticipate the appro-
priations, but the public printer is
shut out. 1t will be necessary for the
State officers to keep their supplies
well guarded, or they may find them
selves out of stationery befoie the next
session of the legislature.
Our late legislature appropriated
about one-balf the amount estimated
by the Auditor as necessary for the
printing, and this is one result of that
economical" body. Other depart
ments of the State government may
experience similar embarrassments be-
fore the next legislature meets.

THE irrepressible Jesse T. Brilliant,
formerly of Martinsburg, writes long
and violent letter from Bluefeld where
he is temporarily residing, to the Mar
tinsburg Independent, in which he an
nounces his undying opposition to Sem
ator Faulkner, Colonel Stuart W.
Walker and all their friends. He Is
feminist the government generally.
Mr.. Brilliant also makes known the
fact that he will be candidate for the
nomination to the legislature, and
sounds the trumpet call to loyal Dem
ocrats for support. Jesse expresses
regret that he has to make his an
nouncement in Republican paper,
but explains that all three of the Dem
ocratic papers refused to publish his
letter. We think Mr.. Brilliant starts
into the race slightly handicapped.
Senator Faulkner will probably resent
such pointed personal and political
attack, and Col. Walker will have his
scalp if it takes the entire National
Guard of West Virginia to get it. We
admire Jesse's pluck, deplore his in
discretion and positively condemn his
methods of warfare.

The Monroe Waterman of last week
quotes the recent editorial from the
REGISTER concerning the necessity of
placing the very best men in the party
upon our State ticket next year, and
then comments upon it in the follow
ing forcible style:
The REGISTER speaks the gospel truth.
To nominate some of the unsavory, un-
clean and unfit adventures who are
clamoring for public Office would be
worse than madness The most diligent
encouragement should from the very
start be meted out to them. We want
men for the Democratic nominees who
are knoUn to be incorruptible, able and
faithful. There are many such if the
party will take the pains to select them,
but there are not just whole families of
them to be gathered up in any chance
gambling-den or barroom. With whole
some, sterling, stirring men to lead us
next year the Democratic party can win.
Without them, we would better make
no nominations at all.

London, Feb. S-A dispatch from
Chez Foo. says the japanese have car
ried all the Chinese positions at Wei
Hal Wei, and have captured or sunk
the whole Chinese northern fleet.
The Japanese, during the night
cleared Wei Hal Wei harbor of all tor
pedoes and submarine mines by the
sl1ilful use OF small torpedo boats and
steam launches from the Warships
which grappled for and cut the wires
connecting the submarine mines at the
shores. a fleet of Japanese torpedo
boats then made splendid dash for
the harbor. and attacked the Chinese
fleet with such skill that the battleship
Ting Yuen was sunk. These tactics
were repeated during the night Of
February 5. and the Chen Yuen, Lai
Yuen and other Chinese warships
blown up and the remainder Of the
Chinese fleet captured.
Following up this splendid success,
the Japanese completed the capture OF
Wei Hal Wei yesterday, by landing a
large force and Selling the island Liu
Kung Tao, which has made gallant
defense against heavy fires. Some of
the Japanese warships passed Chez
Foo early this morning, and fired a
few shots at the forts without doing
any damage, and in view of the re-
ports current regarding the feint at
tack made upon Ming Hal yesterday,
the belief grows that the Japanese are
going to attack Chez Foo.

At Key West and Palm Beach, the
mercury dropped from "a to So. These

the bonds, as this is q matter for ar
engagements between themselves. By
the terms of the contract, the parties
are to bear all expense of bringing the
gold from abroad. Another stipulation
OF great Importance is that Messrs.
Morgan and Belmont agree to exert
all their financial strength and influ-
ence and that of their associates at
home and abroad. to protect against
Withdrawals of gold pending complete
performance of the contract. No bonds
are to be delivered, except in payment
for gold actually delivered. Those who
are in position to know the presi-
dents views on the subject
give it as his opinion that the issue
will SO far restore public
confidence at home and abroad that
any other issues will be unnecessary,
at least until the meeting of the next
| Congress in December. If, however,
| it should become necessary, the
president Will act as promptly as may
be necessary to protect the pubhc
credit. 1t is confidently expected by
the president that this issue will rem
der an extra session of Congress
wholly unnecessary.
| II is understood that the gold called
for by the terms of today's agreement,
Will be shipped from the treasury de-
| partment at the earliest day practlc-
able. The agreement on the part Of
Messrs Morgan and Belmont to use
their best endeavors to prevent gold
! from being withdrawn from the treas
ury was understood to mean that no
part Of the gold bargained for should
either directly or indirectly be taken
! from the treasury and, therefore, it is
fully believed that the reserve will be
augmented by the full amount of gold
purchased.

Boise, Ida, Feb. S.-The senatorial
situation remains the same tonight,
and the oft-repeated statements that
the deadlock would be broken before
long, was greeted with jeers. Today's
ballot resulted the same as it has for
the past three weeks: Shoup, 10; Sweet,

In the senate, the house resolution
protesting against the passage of the

The house, after three hours debate,
passed the bill to divide Kootenai
county, forming Bonner out of the por-
ton cut off, with Bonner's Ferry as
the county seat.

at the asylum to convey persons insane
to that Institution, was passed by a
party vote. the Populists voting
against it. 1t now goes TO the COVER

work forming no small compensation.
