Acnmnni,,n pccnlinrIty.

There is this popularity in the pre-
limInary presidential campaign, that
while newspapers opposed to Governor
Mckinley feel at perfect liberty to boom
their "Gavorlte sons" and otherwise To
do what they can to defeat the popular
choice, 1t is considered at least indelI.
cate for newspapers favorable to Nc
Klnley to say anything pointed In his
behalf
1t appears to give ofrense to suggest,
for example, that Republican constitu-
encles practically solid for Mckinley
should be represented in the national
convention by delegates who will sup
port Mckinley. There nre evidences Of
this feeling In West Virginia, notwlth-
standing the undeniable fact that no
man who would declare himself against
Mckinley would have ghost OF show
to be elected to the st. Louis conven-
tlon.
1t is safe to suspect anybody who
shows himself to be so thin-skinncd on
this subject. II the masses OF the party
have not right to be heard and to have
their views presented by their party
press. who has a right to be heard and
whose views should the party press re-
fleet?

every reason to believe that Wheeling.

extend cordial welcome that will make

It is particularly desired that mem
bers OF the Chamber OF Commerce shall
take to the reception the ladies of their
families, and those who have no fam
lies should bcstIr themselves to make
other arrangements. The ladies from
Washington should be met by the ladies'

Rs.trletlng Inn migration.

Against the opposition OF the chair
man of the committee the Stone immi-
grafton bill will go to the house for Its
action. This bill has been very freely
endorsed the country over. not as a
perfect measure but as making good
beginning on an important line. This
is ali its author says for 1t. This much
accomplished, the way will be clearer
to do something more and better.
II was necessary to have public
opinion to support It before any meas
ure of the kind could command a seri-
Gus hearing. This public opinion now
exists and is growing. The people OF
the United States have come to realize
that there Is such thing as a too rapid
increase in the population from the
outside, and circumstances have forced
them to see that there is such q thing
as quality in immigrants.
The people feel also that the country
belongs to them and that It is their
right to guard it against any objection

From this condition 1t results that We

Vassar girls come to the front with n
striking proposition. Instead OF the
usual graduating exercises. consisting
OF the reading of essays and comforting

them and have no value In themselves.

The shInlng European Scene.

II is not strange that France is stirred
up by British preparations for a new
campaign in the Soudan. and stlll less
strange that France should suspect
Great Britain OF duplIcIty.
It requires. however. n considerably
stretched Imagination to follow France
in the suspicion that Great Britain is
deliberately planning the defeat Of her
first column In order to have an excuse
to throw in force enough to do the COB
bling she has in view.
To believe this OF Great Britain is to
believe that she is deliberately planning
the slaughter OF her own troops in order
to carry out the comprehensive design
planned by her cunning statesmen.
What Is France to do under the cir
cumstances? She cannot whip Great
Britain and the triple alliance. VIII
Russia take a hand with her? II so
the great European war so long looked
for will be on at last.

There Is increasing talk of Governor
Morton's withdrawal from the presi-

shrewder thing. 1t might place him
where the Morton movement has failed
to place him. 1t would also set free a
great many Republicans in his state
who would like to go another way.
