In the Enemy's Camp.

The Republican State Committee
met at Parkersburg last Saturday,
the 10th, to fix the time and place
for the assembling Of the State con-
vention to send delegates to the Ma
tional Convention at ST. Louis, and
also to select a time and place for the
meeting of the State Convention to
nominate State ticket. The COM
mittee decided to hold the conven-
ton to select delegates to the st.
Louis convention at C!arksburg, Nav
ii, and the State convention at Par
kerSburg, July %.
Many Of the chiefs were present,
all talking with great confidence
of their ability to carry the State
with rush this fall. They seemed
to think that they had little more
to do than to name q ticket, make
few campaign speeches and publish
the usual rot about the splendid his
tory Of the e. o. p. and the blessings
Of protection and all with them
would be well. This sort of talk de-
ceiVeS no one, and our friends are
welcome to all the pleasure they can
derive from these pleasing anticipa-
tions which may never he realized.
1t seemed to be conceded that the
Hon. George Wesley Atkinson had
practically no opposition for the gu
bernatorial nomination, and il ap-
pears just now as if lie would be
nominated by reclamation. 1t is I'M
derstood that a lively fight is on
among the brethren for the nomina.
ton for Auditor, the candidates be-
ing Capt. John *. Thompson, of
Putnam l.. M. La Toilette, of Graf
ton; Jacob S. Hyer, of Braxton; A.
M. Prince, Of Mercer, and S. w.
Willy, of Hinton. Tom McDougal,
Of Wayne county, seems to be so far
the only candidate for State Treas
urer. There are several aspirants
for the Attorney Generals place on
the ticket. Among them f. p.
Rucker, of Mcdowell, and S. G.
Smith, of Ohio, whilst V. b. Archer,
of Wood, is being urged into the
race by his friends.
State Senator II. G.. Lockney. of
Calhoun, is working hard for the
nomination for State Superintendent
of Schools. Waitman 7. w. Barbe
appears to be the favorite of many
of his party for this nomination, but
he declares that he is not a candidate
and proposes to devote his whole
time to the interest of the State Uni
versity. We beg leave to remind
these aspiring gentlemen that the old
Democracy proposes to have a voice
in the choice of our State officers
this fall. and they would do we'll to
remember that they cannot win by
Boosting of their strength.

JOSEPH BENSON, otherwise known
as Fire Alarm Foraker, Senator
Elect from Ohio, was the orator of
the evening at the Lincoln day cele-
bration in New York on the 18th.
He had more to say about the Demo-
cratic party than about Mr.. Lincoln,
and declared that the Democracy
would never elect another President.
Had Joseph Benson stopped to con-
slider how often since 1861 this silly
prediction had been made by the
wiseacres Of his party, and how lit
tie weight any man of sense would
attach to such declaration coming
from him, his speech would have
been read with more interest. He
furgets that the Democratic party
has made the brightest pages of
Americas history, and is founded
upon principles as impe rishable as
the love Of liberty in the human
heart.

MIR. KENNEDY ON ACETYLENE.
A JOW7'H correspondent called at
:. ii. Kennedy's Office, at Johnstown,
Pa, after his recent visit to Phila-
delphia and made inquiry regarding
acetylene gas and its progress, to
which Mr.. Kennedy replied:
Ii requires no gift of prophecy
TO foretell the early substitution Of
aCetylene for other forms of illumi-
mating gas as well as electric light
ing, and while it will work revo-
luton in the methods of lighting, it
is bound from its very simplicity.
safety, effectiveness and low cost to
work great revolution in all manu-
facting processes as we'll. The city
or town which can supply its street
lamps from the cylinder concealed
in its lamp-post will not be slow in
doing away with it's costly mains and
connection. The manufactures will
soon learn the utility and advantage
of the cleaner and cheaper gas fuel.
The suburban resident may discard
his troublesome and dangerous oil or
gasoline apparatus, and the city
householder may laugh at the exac-
tions of gas corporations when ne d.
vorces his house from the meter and
stores his six months supply of gas
In his cellar closet. The relative
value of acetylene, compared with
city gas, stands about as follows
Thirty-one cubic feet will equal 1872!
cubic feet of city gas. One pound
of carbide, 13 cubic feet of acetylene,
costs two and one. half cents. One
hundred and siXty-two and one-half
cubic feet Of city gas costs IL cents.
Therefore six cents will purchase the
same quantity of illumination that
can be purchased in city gas at 81,
AT these prices it will be a formida
bic competitor and will embarrass
the efforts of other Illuminating com
panies in sustaining present prices

Fees in Federal Courts,

b. M. Amber, Esq, of the Par
kersburg bar, in an interesting paper
read before the last meeting of the
West Virginia Bar Association de-
clares that although this State has
only one.eightieth of the population
OF the country, yet there are on the
dockets of the United States Court
one-elghth of the total criminal
cases in the entire country.
1t is quite clear, as Mr.. Amber in
Inmates, that the Federal Courts are
being used to make fees for the Off
GERS. In proof of this Mr.. Amber
gives official figures to show that in
1895 out of 925 prosecutions in West
Virginia there were only 391 convic-
tions. The remaining 534 cases re-
suited in acquittals or were nollied.
ABOUT the same proportions holds
good for 1894 and 1898.
TO our mind, this is proof conclu-
slVe that hundreds of these cases
were trumped up for no other DUR
pose than to enable the officers To
make fees. Another charge Mr.. Am
bier makes is found in the following ::
sin certain cases a jury trial is
made TO appear when the prisoner
.. pleads guilty. BY some mysterious
continuance, prisoner puts in a plea
of mot guilty. and jury is i'm pan
elled to try the issue-the prisoner
Immediately pleads guilty, and the
foreman is directed to write a YER
dict accordingly. The record then,
OF course, shows a trial upon hear
ing Of evidence and a conviction
ThlS makes record on which more
fees can be taken from the govern
ment than if a plea of guilty had
been accepted in the first place."
What Mr.. Amber means is this ::
The Federal statute allows the Dis
trlct Attorney fee $3.50 we think it
Isl In every criminal case tried by
him before jury. 1t is clearly to
his interest then to have it appear
that every case disposed Of was tried
by jury. Hence it is that, under
the practice prevailing in the Federal
Courts of this State, the accused is
not allowed to plead guilty but when
ever he announces his readiness to do
so, "call jury" says the District
Attorney. A jury is accordingly
impanelled, the accused confesses
his guilt and verdict is drawn
And so the record is made to show
trial by jury when in fact not a
witness has been sworn. All this is
done that the District Attorney may
pocket fee to which he is not en-
titled. 1t is surprising that any
Judge should tolerate such an abuse
in his count. Such practice shows
the evils of the fee system, to which
Mr.. Cleveland has many times called
the attention of Congress.

THE voters of West Virginia have

THE voters Of West Virginia have
thoroughly made up their mind to
elect a Democratic Legislature next
fall. They are indignant over hav-
ing to attend courts as witnesses and
to serve processes issued by courts
and wait two years for their pay
The man who has a State witness
claim cannot even pay his taxes
with it, because the Sheriffs will not
take them. There is no appropria-
ton TO pay them. There is an abun.
dance of money in the State treasury

fused to make the appropriation
