ARTHUR 1. BOHEMIAN.

The State loses one of the Oldest and
most prominent figures in its history
in the death of Ex-Governor Arthur l.
Foreman, war governor of West Vir-
ginia, and, we believe, the last Of the
war governors of the North. His ca
reer has been extensive and his public
services cover a period Of more than
forty years. Admitted to the bar in
1916. he was a member OF the Legisla-
ture of Virginia from 1855 to 1860;
President Of the convention which met
in this city in 1861 70 reorganize the
State Government of Virginia; was the
first Governor Of West Virginia in
1863. being reelected in 1866; elected to
the [. S. Senate in 1868; and after
wards served in the Legislature Of this
State.
His last office was that of Circuit
Judge Of the Fourth Judicial district.
He died in harness and undoubtedly
from Overwork, for Judge Boreman
was one of the most conscientious and
Woodworking judges in the State. AL
though not a native West Virginian,
having been born in Waynesburg, Pa,
he had lived in the State from child
hood and hosts of friends old and
young Throughout. The State will mourn
his loss.

, RrsINEss Wan ON BUSINESS.

IN the opinion of President George
B. Roberts Of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company. the lagigng and unsat-
isfactory condition of business is due
70 too much politics and tariff agita-
ton and to the denial of legislation
which the country sorely needs. Mr..
Roberts's opinion is worth carloads Of
oratory from the political stump.
He speaks Of facts within his know
ledge. figures audited under his eye, re
suits gathered from the inflow and out
flow Of all the multifarious movements
OF things that men buy and sell.
He says that business started on.
splendidly last fall. and that there is
no reason under heaven why the coun-
try should not be enjoying the largest
property at present except for two
things % The silver craze. % lingo
ism. Mr.. Roberts also points out TWO
things as necessary to restore prosper
ity. Cd Sound money. (2) Rest from
tariff agitation.
Mr.. Roberts is unquestionably right,
particularly in his last observation. For
the rest. the responsibility lies with the
present dO-nothing Congress. which in
stead of devoting itself to the necessi-
ties Of the business situation has done
nothing throughout the whole session
but play the game of politics. endeavor

AS To Mckinley.
McKINLEY'S BLUNDER

McKINLEY'S BLUNDER.
Philadelphia Times
McKinley's campaign is notable for the
most conspicuous plumbers committed by
himself or those who managed his cam
paign. The early debauchery of the South
ern delegates was in itself blunder worse
than a crime that is now reacting against
the Ohio candidate. and the attempt Of
Mr.. Hanna to force collections from the
manufacturers of Pennsylvania and else
where TO hold the doubtful delegates al
ready debauched was simply repetition
of the blunder tSat started the campaign
of corruption.
The greatest blunder committed by the
Mckinley leaders. and for which Mr.. Nc
Kinley himself may he fairly held respon-
sible. was the cowardly, disgraceful straG-
die of the sound money issue by the State
convention that nominated him.

BRINGING RIDICULE ON MCKINLEY
Washington Post.

There is something immensely funny
about the Mckinley canvass for the -.
Louis nomination. The style in which ne
is being secluded by his managers isola-
ted. surrounded with mystery. hemmed in
by barriers. made as inaccessible as the
grand llama of Thibet, and as inscrut1ble
as the oracle of Dodona-all this is thor
oughlv ridiculous. Here is William Nc
Kinlev. hitherto a plain American citizen,
all of a sudden. transformed by his mar
ayers into a sort of yelled prophet i'm
mersed in sacred silence, hid in dim, re-
lig!ous twilight. guarded from invasion by
his fellow man. shrined and hidden like
some double distilled fetch. and generally
saturated with the mysterious and the su-
pernatural How very silly it all would
seem if it were not so stupid and offensive.

had stronger support than Mckinley has
now. There were "fG"orite sons against
Blaine. as Reed, Morton, Quay. Allison
and Cullom are now pitted against Nc
Kinley. and in other respects parallel
might be drawn. Blaine's failure to get
the nomination was not due. however, to
the existence of batch of rivals in strong
States. but was due 10 the conviction that
he was an unsafe man and unfit for the
Presidency. This same conviction obtains
now in regard to Mckinley among thought

lumbermen think that Congress ought
to include lumber in the list, and will
make every effort to have the Mckinley
tariff restored. A number of the leading
lumbermen of the State met in Bangor
Tuesday and discussed the subject at
length. kilograms We're sent to the
Maine senators and representatives urg-
ing them to advocate the restoration of
the duty on lumber. As operations in
the Canadian woods are heavy this winter,
and as a large part of the cut must come
to nited States markets. a cons dera bic
revenue could be raised by lmpO,itio of
duty of - or even 81 per NJ. The inn
portance OF this question will be brought
to the attention of Congress by lumber
men Of Maine and OF her states.

their chief. 1t chanced that he had a
smail pocket compass with him, and this
he explained to the chief, and made Il
present OF it to him. BY this means he
gained some time, and also the favor of
the chief. When, at last, the warriors
bound him to a tree and bent their bows
to shoot him, the chief came forward,
wsviug the compass, aud ordered them to
stop.
After This he was carried through many
Indian villages, and was at last led before
PowhatSn, their king. His case WIS soon
decided, The Indians hated the whites,
and now that they had their leader in
their hands they resolved to put him to
death A large stone was brought in and
Smiths head was laid upon it. Then, at
an order from the king, tall savage
raised club to beat out his BRAINS In a
moment the club would have fallen, and
Smith would have died; but n kind
Providence watched over him.
An Indian girl, twelve or thirteen years
Old, sprang towards him. From her
dress, it was plain that she was princess
The large feather in her black hair was
like that worn by Powhatan, and her
moccasins were embroidered like the old
kings. On her arms were bracelets of
Shells and from her shoulders fell robe
of doeskin, covered with the feathers of
birds, and lined with down from the
breasts of wild pigeons
This girl was Pocahontas, the favorite
daughter Of the old king. She was filled
with pity for the poor prisoner, and ran
and threw her arms about him, look ing
up to her father as she did so. The heavy
club did not fall. The blow would have
killed Pocahontas, as Smiths head was
clasped to her breast; and Powhatan
ordered that the prisoner life should be
spared. He was, therefore, unbound, and
Powhatan soon showed him that he had
nothing to fear. In few days he was
allowed to go back to Jamestown.
Captain Smith had many other ad-
ventures while he was in Virginia, but at
last painful accident changed all his
plans. As he was rowing down James
river one day some powder in his boat
took fire, and he was terribly burned
His clothes were all in flames, and he
jumped into the water in order 10 put out
the fire. This he did, but he came so
near being drowned that his men could
scarcely get him into the boat again
He at last reached JamestoWn, bat his
burns were terrible. There was no sur
geon to dress them, and he made up his
mind to go to England and find one. \
