Thu Democratic nominations for cir
cui. Judges in this judicial district are
excellent and will commend themselves
10 every man of intelligence. Mr.. Louis
S. Jordan has been long identified with
the West Virginia bar and is a gentle
man who possesses the entire confidence
Of the people of the district. Mr..
Jordan has served the public
before in important capacities,
among them being that Of Prosecuting
Attorney of this county and later as
Judge Of the Criminal Court. In the lat
ter office Mr.. Jordan acquitted himself so
we'll that although he went out with
every other Democrat. high and low,
good. bad and Indifferent. he led his
ticket. polling hundreds Of Republican
votes.
Hon. ]. B. Mcclure, Of Marshall, IS a
fit running mate for Mr. Jordan. He is
lawyer of experience and ability
Among the things to be said in Mr.. Nc
Lures favor is the fact that the estem-
ed Intelligencer has begun to publish
falsehoods about him. 1t has endeavor-
ed to hur. him with the farmers of Mar
shall by publishing the yarn that he is
opposed to the free coinage of silver.
The Register knows that Mr.. Mcclure
is not opposed to free coinage and that
ne stands fully for the Chicago plat
form.
The Democratic judicial ticket will be
elected.

To The Editor Of The Register.
Franklin, W. Va, September T.
General C. C Watts and Hon. Joseph
e. Chiffon spoke here to-day. Those
well informed say it was the largest
political gathering ever held in the
county. A large number Of Republic
cans were present, and gave the closest
attention, and many Of them expressed
themselves as favorable TO free silver.
Both speakers made telling and ef-
fective speeches. The Democratic party
here is united for both the State and
National tickets You can rest as
sured that there will not be a dozen
Democrats who will vote for either
Mckinley or Palmer, and il is here
conceded mat P5ndleton is for silver
and will increase her former maiori,ies
for the entire Democratic ticket. Watts
was never before in the county and n
made many friends, and a fine impress
sion on our people. G. NJ. j.

Since the recent attempt 10 corner

good deal of wondering where all the
gold supposed TO be in the country can
be. The treasury computations place
the amount, from the known output
of the minis less what has been export
ed or gone INTO the arts. at about
5000, 600, 600. But there is only about
$50, 100000 in the treasury, the
national banks have only sl6J, 900, 600.
and the state banking and trust in
situations only $40, 600, 600 to $50, 200.
600 more. This leaves about 1925, 600.
600 TO be accounted for. Gold is not

and not over half of this 1925, 600, 600

the progress of,right public feeling
in England is such that it may now
be safely predicted that unless the
Salisbury ministry itself finds a way
of settling the Venezuelan difficulty
with this country. Parliament will
compel it to do 50 when it mcets. As
large section of the conservatives
coincide with the liberals regarding
arbitration. the ministers vii! have to
be provided with satisfactory eyplana.
tions of the whole course of their
dealings with the government at Wash
ington or risk division which would
be dangerous, at the very outset of
their administration. The plan of
settlement according to the latest report
is for AN arbitration in series. first re-
garding the territory west of the
line and then if anything
develops in that to throw doubt on the
British title to the territory east of that
line. to have another arbitration about
that. This would let Britain down
easy from Salisbury's position. and
ought not to object to it, if |
il can be arranged so as to be surely |
,arrred out in good faith.

The opening paragraph ct the Re
view of Reviews for January includes
Il most interesting outlook upon the
year 1896 and certain events for which
it is likely to be .notcd~-a season of
adventurous interest and enthusiasm.
The year is to decide whether Spain
must give up Cuba: is destined to
settle for some time at least the fate
of much or all of the Turkish Empire;
China will add some strange and sen
sational chapters to her own history,
and influence profoundly the history
of Euorpc; Japan is entering upon a
remarkable industrial career; fresh
pages will he added to the marvellous
story of the development of European
enterprise in South Africa almost I'M
exampled progress will be made on the
Asiatic railroad system during the
year: two Pacific cables are planned
for construction this year it is expect
cd that hcrscless carriages will begin
to come into practical use, that cleo
tricity will replace steam on some of
the main lines of road. and that trolley
lines will increase in number Arctic
exploration will be pushed, important
in medical and sanitary
science are probable within the year
and all sorts of political and social
problems are pressing themselves upon
the attention of the nations.

! England and France have concluded
their agreement for the partition of
Siam, and the papers have been finally
signed this week, after five years of
dispute and after repeated warnings
from England to France on penalty of
war TO let alone territory which she is
now allowed to take in return for letting
England take lot more. There was
originally some French claim growing
out of boundary dispute between
Siam and the French Anam. but Eng
land was absolutely without any claim
except that of the highwayman. There
is really no excuse for the robbery on
either side, for Siam had aggrieved
neither of these powers. not even the
standard one of advancing civilization,
forSiam was making creditable progress
in this respect and in the adoption of
western ideas and methods and in
developing her resources and commerce.
Under the new convention. France
acquires the whole western valley of
the Mekong river and part of the
eastern valley of the upper Mekong,
all of which territory comprises the
richest of the SIamese provinces. Eng
land takes the territory west of the
Mcaan valley and absorbs the Malay
peninsula so that the Indian empire |
will extend in an unbrolSpn line from |
Beloochistan to the straits settlements.
France wanted to really wipe out
Siam by Selling Bongkak, the capital,
but English interests were opposed,
so little of the ancient kingdom,
to the valley of the Menam,
is left for the time being. The grab,
in which even the French republic
forcibly illustrates what
would happen in South America if the
Monroe doctrine were not in the way.

None of the early statesmen gave
any Interpretation to the Monroe doc
trine that sustains Secretary Olney's
application of it. IN. Y. World.
Nonsense. jefferson. Madison and
Clay. not to speak of others besides
Monroe himself. and all his cabinet at
the time, gave it Just this interpreta.
ton except as they went farther with
it. jefferson even took practically the
ground that the Davis resolutions do,
when he said:
:. We must oppose with allour means
the transfer of the South American
colonies to any power by conquest,
cession. or acquisition IN any other
way.
1t is fair question whether we
ought to go to such AN extreme AS
Jefferson proposed. 1t is open to ar.
gumcnt even whether we want 10 stand
by the doctrine at all. or if We do
whether he should not clip it down to
the meaninglessncss of John Quincy
Adams later utterances. But it does
not help TO an intelligent decision to
deny. distant or misrcprescnt ethe
views of statesmen of the past.

Electric Bitters.

Electric Bitters is medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen
orally needed in the Spring, when the
languid exhausted feeling prevails,
when the liver is torpid and sluggish
and the need of tonic and Alternative
is felt. \ prompt use of this medicine
has often averted long and perhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will act
more surely in counteracting and free
ing the system from the malarial poison.
