What Has a Republican Congress
Done?

The GAINESVILLE Signal calls attention tc
the fact that it must be remembered by
all who give even the slightest attention
to politics-though doubtless there are
those who would like to forget it-that il
was the cry with republican orators last
fall that the improvement in the pros
perity of our country was solely due to
popular confidence" generated by the
election Of a republican house of repre-
sentatives the fall preceding. If there
was anv such confidence" it was sadly
misplaced. The assembling aId sitting of
that congress from which, as the republi-
cans prophesied, such untold blessing of
quietude and assurance were destined to
flow, have instead exerted a most baleful
and depressing influence upon the coun.
try's finances, commerce, and industry
from the first. This is not n question of
partisan opinion. The truth of the state
ment here made can be.verifed from the
experience of any business man. Indeed,
matter of universal knowledge, and
nobody will ask for its verifcation. The
record of congress so far is a record Of
stupid doltishness and blind perverseness
Nobody can tell what it will or won't do,
except that it won't do what the country
needs-that much is evident by the action
OF the house and senate on the financial
question. Business is therefore left in a
demoralizing uncertainty, which is just
the opposite Of the condition which, it
was boasted, would prevail with repub-
lican congress in control of legislation. 1t
certainly seems that 1t will even exhaust
the resources of gall and brazenness in
which the unscrupulous republican man.
ipulators of the day are SO rich, for them
TO appear before the people again this fall
and ask them to elect another republican
congress, with this example of what such
a congress Is still vivid in the country's
memory. Laying aside the question of
whether the legislation proposed by the
republicans is desirable, it is perfectly
evident from the lessons of this winter
that no guarantee can be given by repub
lican leaders that even with a republican
president, they could enact the laws pro-
posed in their program. The unreliability
of republicanism stands out the most
glaring feature of the political landscape.
Why should the people parley with such
palterersf

A communication appears in this issue
from subscriber on the matter of the in
crease Of the salaries of the common pleas
judges. The writer starts out with the
statement that any increase is wrong and
before he finishes admits that the COM
mon pleas judges are not properly com.
pensated in comparison with other county
officials whose work is less exacting and
requires less ability. This is tho view
tho News Democrat takes. We think the
salaries Of Stark county officials are high
enough, but II any official is worth
$4,000 or s., 600 year, 1t is a common
pleas judge. We believe the increase con-
templated should be granted, but at the
same time action should be taken TO
scale down the other county officials SO
that the increase to the court will not
work any additional burden to the tax
payers. In fact, we believe that while the
work is being done that the salaries can
be cut sufficiently to actually reduce the
gross expenses,

With 1886, ,774.s5 paid out, the commits
sioners suddeny find out that it costs too
much to give publicity to the items. II
they spend $500 or $4,000 in a certain
direction 1t will not break the backs Of
the people to go few cents further and
place the items before tax payers, as the
law requires. When 1t came to mileage,
livery hire, hotel bills, per diems and
junketing trips, this longing desire for
economy suddenly disappeared.
AS the law is mandatory, what right
have such executive officers to amend the
law? The Legislature makes the law
and in this case most wise one. The
commissioners have proceeded to deliber-
ately ignore it, just as was done down in
Guernsey county. And the result here
will probably be par with the result
there, as our expenses for bridges have
been much greater than the similar ex-
penditnres which led to so much alleged

HON. SAM V. WOODS,
OF Ba rbour is Named for the Democratic
Nomination for Governor-A Good Man.


Nomination for Governor-A Good Man.
Grafton, W Va. June %, 1896.
To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-From a standpoint OF party 10y
atty. without the knowledge of the one
we shall name, your correspondent
wishes to suggest a Democrat for Gov
ernor of our State. An able lawyer,
an aggressive, active business man, OF
unflinching devotion TO the cause of the
common people, Sam V Woods, of Bar
bour county, it seems to us, is the most
available an who could be nominated
by the Democracy for this important
Office He is one who has convictions,
dares to express and defend them, and
regarding his integrity and upright
less mas not a superior anywhere. AT
this time it behoOves Democrats 10
look carefully regarding the selection OF
candidates: and when merit is consld-
cred. is there one single point in which
Mr.. Woods is lacking? He is young, in
the prime and vigor Of manhood, and
an energetic, aggressive campaigner.
For twenty years he has advocated the
peoples rights and has stood boldly for
all the principles of Democracy. AS
chairman Of the Second Congressional
Delegate Convention, which selected
representatives to the Chicago COnveH-
ton. his position on the money Gues-
ton is known to the whole State. The
nominee of the Democratic party must
be a man who can be elected in Novem-
Der: one who can make vigorous cam
paign; a man of whom the whole State
could feel proud when elected. Mr..
Woods is quick, clear thinker, z fore
ible, convincing speaker, thoroughly ag-
gressive and a true friend of the masses.
Taken all in al, we know no man iE
the State who can carry a larger vGte
than Mr.. Woods. This article is writ
ten without his knowledge or consent,
and. in fact, we do not know that he
would give up his business to accept
any office; but if he can be prevailed
upon to accept this nomination, we con-
scientOusly feel that he is the Moses
to lead Democracy to victory. We may
further add that he is free from entan-
clements on account of factional fights
in the party. With malice toward none
and with charity to all, we leave the
matter to the sober reflection of the
Democracy Of the State of West Vir-
ginia. SILVER DEMOCRATS.

President DobbIns Narrates What Has
Been Done by the County.
To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-In an article in Sundays Reg
lister, relating TO the death of an infant
child of Mary Heinrich, you close by
saying:
IF Mary Heinrich had been properly
cared for by the authorities OF the coun-
~, as she should have been three years
ago. the situation to-day would have
been very much better in this regard.
1.-The affair of last evening is not at
all creditab,e to Ohio county from eny
point of view"
Now. If the writer of the above had
made himself acquainted with the cir
cumstances Of three years ago, he GER
tainly would not cast reflections on the
authorities of Ohio county.
The facts in relation to this woman
at that time are these:
She was committed to Jail on a
mnacy warrant, and while there il was
discovered that she was enciente. and
by an order from the Justice and the
Board of County Commissioners, she
was transferred to the County Infirm-
airy, and there guarded and nursed
until some six weeks after the delivery
Of her child. She was then taken to
the insane asylum at Weston. where
she remained some time and was dis
charged as cured.
The child (Which was very bright,
in the meantime and for about one year
thereafter, was cared for by the County
Commissioners at the Infirmary, and
by contract with a party living near
the poor farm. During this time the
child's mother, grandmother and sup
posed father made repeated efforts TO
get possession OF the child, but the
Board of Commissioners did not con-
slider the parties proper persons to have
charge Of the child or care for its bring
ing up. and refused TO let them have il.
A woman OF good character who was
fully able TO care for the child adopted
it, and the Board of Commissioners en-
tered the necessary order binding II to
her. and why she should have given it
up TO it's mother, / cannot say. The
county authorities were never called on
to take charge of or care for Mary Helm
rich, except in the one instance stated
above. She lived with her mother, and
had some means left her from her
fathers estates, which were in the
hands of her guardian, L. F. Stifel, who,
I understand, settled some time since
when she became of age, and paid her
the balance due.
Respectfully,
P B. DOBBINS,
County Commissioner.
