and their refOrmative value in devel-
oping the moral qualities of prisoners,
Prof. Evans gave as his opinion that
to obtain the best results, reformatory
work must be directed along lines of
mental cultivation with the primary
object of migrating self-respect and
pride of character. With these hon.

responsibility follows. The Professor

ED. ADVANCE What has hap
pened in the lower end Of Wayne
county? | see from reports that
you are now Mayor of Ceredo. AL
low me to congratulate you.
1t Is really amusing to read the
Wayne News at present and COM
pare 1t with copies published be-
fore the court house burned. Thep
Billy would say lust let the up
per end of the county be cut off if
they wish; they keep the court oc-
cup ed in trying misdemeanor
cases" He now says there is not
sufficient territory. The county
then had a new $4,000 court
house. Billy has property at the
'o.d stand" and the best way for
you people to convince him that
Ceredo is a better place for the
county-seat is to trade proI e'ty in
your town, or any place below
Lavalette, for his property in
Wayne. Then things in Ceredo
will assume a different shape, so
far rs be is concerned. | like to
see man who has mind enough
to see into things like this aud IL
ready TO be convinced. There il
no chance for a sinner TO be saved
until he is perfectly willing to be
convinced Of the error of his WAYS
not only convinced, but he must
be converted as well-turn from
his old ways.
Again it is real funny TO read
the article in the News where the
editor speaks Of the court house
being built at Cefedo for the con-
venience Of Huntington people.
All the people want is fair count.
wher we get vote on the uues-
ton and this all should agree TO
and stand by the result. If the
people Of this county can get a
court house built for them at Ken
ova or Ceredo, / believe there are
a sufficient mum Der Of voters who
will appreciate the offer TO make
the county seat at either place.
The people Of Cabell are not in it.
nor should Billy bring them in.
However, / will risk one eye ON
Ceredo and the other one-I mean
the weather one-on Kenova.
Goodnight, my friend, r. r.

What's the Matter?
Let us look back n couple or
three decades and we think we can
see where the trouble is, and we
will find that it is not the gold or
the silver question, but one far
deeper and more dangerous to our
existence than the finance or tariff
problem. 1t is the waning of our
internal improvements. In the
last thirty years our people have
built over one hundred thousand
miles of railroad which cost BIZ
lions of dollars, which went TO the
laborer, the mechanic and the ar
tisan. And this stupendous
amount of money went into the
channels of every branch of trade,
and at the same time great cities
were built on every bill top.
But alas, what is the condition to-
day? No more r. r. building,
those ephemeral cities are decay
ing, no work for laborers; every
where stagnation stares the ple-
beian or common people in the
face. Out of 100000 of voters
100000 are out of employment,
without anything to do. And
those 100000, representing So
100000 of our people, will lay
down tonight, not knowing where
they and those who depend upon
them will get .heir breakfast to-
morrow morning.
We see no sign of enterprise
anywhere except In the metropoli-
tan cities and at the centers of the
net work of the great railways. In
one of those great cities, the writer
saw and heard of 10000 idle men
who were clamoring for work but
could get nothing to do. What
will be the end of all this? 1t
seems that we are today passing
through q period OF stagnation
such as the world has never seen.
Is this a finished country? 1t
looks that way to us; and what
the remedy is no one seems ia
know. Let some of our great po-
litical doctors give us pauacea
for our evils and distress through
which we are passing. Y.
Poor, measly, moss covered
brain! He can see nothing but de-
cay on all sides. He has lived to
see the Democratic party in full
power and has found that his cher
ished principles have gone before
the wind like chaff with incapa-
bility and rottenness cropping out
everywhere. He boasts of what has
been done in the last thirty years
of course he means before
Cleveland's last election.
He walls the stagnation in rail-
road building and,forced idleness
on every hand. Yes, but he can t
see the cause of all this. He don't
remember that during the thirty
years of unrIvaled thrift we were
living under a Republican tariff.
No, this same narrow minded ink
singer can't zee that while the
country is burdened with farm pro-
ducts for sale, these poor laborers
have no money 70 pay freights,
even if the products were given to
them. Why? Because other ma
tions are doing our manufacturing
and our own laborers must work
for pauper pay and wait. For
what? Till November rolls
around and they can have another
chance at the ballot box. Do I
believe this? Yes; what did the
sugar states do when the question
Of tariff was brought to their door?
Kicked like n mule, just like any
other section will do when its
main industry is destroyed. Just

AFTER SIXTEEN YEARS,
Dcathbcd' Confession Brings Justice ni
Last to William Siowcy.

Des Moines Iowa. April 12.---William
Slowey. who has been in the Fort Mad
ison nenitentiary for sixteen years for
the murder of 4 travelling man in his
saloon IN Clinton, was pardoned by the
Legislature today. The murder was II
most brutal one. The man was choked
to death in an attempt to rob him.
Slowey's wife and negro named Har-
ris assisting, as was then supposed.
Slowey bore hard name. He was sent
to the penitentiary for life and his at
torney, Lyman A. Ellis, was glad to set
his client off without a death sentence.
Harris was sent to prison for II term
of years and died there. On his DEATH
bed he confessed that he and Mrs.
Slowey killed the man, and that Slowey
tried to bring him to life. as they did
not suppose they had killed him. Law
yer Ellis, now in the senate. has been
successful in securing Il pardon for his
old client. Slowey is an old man and
served four years in the army. He was
model prisoner, never breaking rule
and helping other convicts. He has a
brother in New York who offers him a
home there the rest of his life.
