The naval programme involves new docks al

ordnance and large increase In the numoef
Of enlisted men.
The expenses Of the navy are run up from
fs.5oo.ooO last year to f4.oOooOo. This COM
pletely wipes out the surplus in the treasury
80 that the income tax will not be lowered
The policy Is costly, but the popular cheers with
which the speech received indicate that
public feeling favors any sacrifices on the part
of taxpayers 50 long as naval defences are made
impregnable
This amazing naval programme is not regarded
BY the English press as an exhibition OF Jingo-
ism: that is the word reserved for the display
Of American sympathy for Cuba. The storm OF
passion aroused in Madrid and Barcelona over
the Senate resolution is referred TO as a warn
ing that Americans may plunge into war with
Spain before the Venezuela affair shall be set
tied Much stress ls also laid upon the fact that
Spain. like the United States. did not unite in
the European exclusion OF privateering. and that
she will be free to resort to it In case OF war
for the destruction Of American commerce
Meanwhile Germany Is raising export bounties
on beet-root sugar in order to give the finishing
touches TO the destruction Of the tropical sugar
industry.

Mr.. EIkins and the Presidency.

The Cincinnati Commercial g.
zette in the last of series of articles
setting forth the fitness of the var
ious men who are mentioned in
connection with the presidency,
pays its respects to Senator S. B.
Elkins, of this State. The article
which occupies considerable space,
is principally biographical, and
while it does not speak of any in
tention on the part of the West
Virginia to formally present Mr..
Elkins's name at the St. Louis con-
vention, it presents him in the light
of a possibility in a certain con-
tingency, in the event of which
West Virginia would expect to see
his fitness recognized, and West
Virginia's delegation would be
found ready for the opportunity.
AS the I0teUjgencer has before
said, Senator Elkins is not candi-
date for the nomination and there
is no organized movement in the
direction of forcing him to become
one; nor should there be at this
time. The fact remains, however,
he is just now being more talked
about as possibility in the event
of certain situation than any
other man among those who are not
active candidates. This honor has
not been sought by the Senator.
The kindly and even enthusiastic
mention of him in all sections of
the country has been spontaneous
and in recognition of his dlstin-
guished merit.
The fact is not less pleasing to
the Republicans of West Virginia
than it is to the Senator himself,
and should the occasion arise West
Virginia will be ready to grasp the
opportunity presenting itself to
bring to the front the State and a
man who can be elected.
OF the men who are avowed can
didates for the presidency, there IS
no doubt that the fayorite among
West Virginians is Governor Nc
Kinley, and if the overwhelming
sentiment Of the State is correctly
represented a solid Mckinley dele
CATION will go to the convention.
This is duty the Republicans owe
to themselves. After that develop
ments will shape themselves, and
should the convention demand some
other man for the honor West Vir-
gina has the available material

Our Electoral College,

Ex-Presldent Harrison, in writ
ing of "The Presidential Office, .
in February Ladjes Home Journal,
presents an interesting bit of lnfor-
nation regarding Or method of
choosing a Chief Magistrate. "The
origin of the Electoral College," he
SAYS, "has been the subject of much
speculation. The only American
precedent is found in the first Con-
stitution of Maryland, where pro-
vision was made for the choice OF
State Senators by electors chosen
by popular vote in specified dist
riots. In the Massachusetts, con-
vention Mr.. Bowdoin said: This
method of choosing the President
was probably taken from the man
ner of choosing Senators under the
Constitution of Maryland. An at
tempt has been made to find the
suggestion of the Electoral College,
as we have come to call it, by some
in the method then in use of choos-
ing the German Emperor, and by
others in the method of choosing a
Pope, by the College Of Cardinals;

Sir Henry Name thinks that the
members of the convention were to
a considerable extent guided by the
example of the Holy Roman EN-
pire'. And as Maryland, where the
Electoral College was first used,
was Catholic colony, the sugges-
ton seems plausible. But there
was this difference; our electors are
not permanent body, but fresh
men chosen every four years.

The MiIIer'S GriSt.


Said a friend to me the other
day, The motto of most men of the
present day is: "First |, second
myself, third, me again" How sad
that selfshness, like triple coat Of
mail, should shut a mans heart
from his brother in need. Unre-
lenting selfshness, like a cut-throat,
is bleeding business men to death:
it is devouring society, destroying
true friendship, disintegrating the
State and disabling the church.
Most of the men and women of to-
day use their friends like their
shoes, wear them for all they can
get out of them and then throw
them off. The friendship that dies
with favor bestowed, is unworthy
the name. Ingratitude is becom-
ing the rule instead of the exception.
A man once came to President Lin
coin and told him that another was
saying all manner of evil against
him falsely. The response of the
wise ruler Of men was, "Let me see,
did | ever do that man a favor.
Yes, / did," So it is, the ones for
whom we do the most, often prove
the most ungrateful. All this is
true, but we must not let it ell bit
ter us. No heart ever felt more
keenly the sorrow of ingratitude
than the dear loving heart of Jesus:
but He did not recoil; and thus His
life reincarnated in our humanity
has become the only remedy for the
worlds cold selfishness. The Psalm
ist SAID IN his haste, "All men are
liars" but we'll he knew it was a
hasty saying, for there are true
hearts that live and love, amid the
surrounding selfishness. Golden
