The Republican Legislature

A few Republican papers are
trying to construo the criticism of
the Democratic press of the last
Legislature as so many charges
against that Legislature for not APP
propriating money enough. In
this they will not succeed. No
Democratic paper has ever intima-
ted such thing. There was ample
money appropriated, about as much
as any legislature ever appropria-
ted before, but it was not properly
distributed. 1t was given to pet
schemes, at the expense of the
business of the State. The chief
desire seemed to be, appropriate all
the money possible so as not to go
beyond the amount appropriated
by the preceding Legislature.
When this was done they stopped,
and it mattered not to them what
was unprovided for. They wanted
to make record for economy and
to do that they left the State in
deplorable condition. There is no
money to pay the public printer,
nor is there cent to pay a witness
in State case who is compelled
under process of law to attend
Court. These shortcomings of
that Legislature are of that kind
that will be known and felt in
every household, and citizens from
the highest to the lowest degree
are now seeing how much it cost
them to make n record for the
Republican party. This claim for
economy is the weakest yet made.
Whoever heard of the Republican
party being economical with pub
lie money! -Fairmont Index.

Bishop Sclwyn says that if women

Some time ago the State Jour
nal contained an exclusive account
of the Ashland, KY, Board of
Trade, appointing committee to
come to Parkersburg and consult
the Ohio River Railroad officials
about extending that line Ashland.
In reference to this matter the Ash
land News has this to say:
$50 far there has been nothing
definitely done in the matter of
visiting the Ohio River Railroad
management, at Parkersburg, in
reference to their extending their
line to this city. The Catlettsburg
Chamber of Commerce has signi-
fed it's intention to assist us all it
can in the encouragement of the
road, and will send along represen-
tatives whenever the trip is made.
1t is expected now that the visit
will not be delayed longer than the
latter part of this month. Most

1t is the aim and object of every
honest and self-respecting news
paper to be as nearly accurate as
possible in the presentation of news
to its readers, says the San Fran
cisco Call, and to give them, as
nearly as may be, correct sum
mary of the worlds state of affairs
day by day.
The Limitation of comparative
exactness will be understood and
appreciated, it is to be hoped, for
literal accuracy and exactitude is,
in a newspaper office, only an iri-
descent dream. The obstacles in
the way of perfection are too great
to be overcome, SO every newspa-
per must be content with the near
est possible approach to certainty.

Tie GnZette's Ire Is Up.

| The GaZette'S Ire is up.
The Gazette broadly intimated
in its issue of yesterday, that Hon.
Jas. b. Menager was writing
the silver articles, signed "Silver
Republican" and "B. Silver"
While it did not mention Mr.. Me-
nager's name, its article was couch
ed in such language as to direct at
tention to him.
We desire to say here, now,
that neither of the articles referred
to are from the pen of Mr.. Menag-
er, but were written by two differ
ent men-and both Republicans
only disagreeing with their party
upon the currency question,
And we will state, further, that
Mr.. Menager never wrote politi-
cal or personal article against any
one either the Daily or Weekly
Register, in all the time we have
been publishing these papers.
He has written several articles, at
our solicitation, on the Konawha
& Michigan Railway, and wrote
them so well that they attracted
the attention of railroad people.
He also, wrote the leading article
that graced the Daily Register on
st. Patrick's Day, and which was
SO highly praised by our readers
and the press, as literary
production; and we hope this
statement will satisfy the Ga
zette, as to Mr.. Menager, whom
they are doing a great injustice.
When the proper time arrives,
the names of the writer's of the sill
yer communications appearing in
this paper, will be made public,

sternation in the Gazette's editori-
al rooms, as would the explosion of

the watch to railroader at the
Kline House for SO. Mr.. Trackler

paign of 1894, against the Gazette,

thing we pride ourself on it is the
publication of cleam and decent

can not say as much for the

waited long while to expose these
"villainous articles?"
And again, we want to remind
the editor of the Gazette, that we

have all we can do to shoulder our

give him their names. This we

THREE CHILDREN BURNED.
Barn Entirely Consumed by Fire;
Burning to Death Three limo.
cent Little Girls.


The sad news reached this city
yesterday of the burning to ashes
of three little girls on Sunday,
four miles south of Dunlow,
Wayne county.
While Mr.. Shirtl Moore and wife
were from home visiting n neighbor,
his two little girls, aged two and
six years and a little ten-year-old
girl who was being raised by John
Lowe, neighbor, was playing in
the barn, when in some way the
building caught fire and burned all
three of the children to death. 1t
is supposed that the children were
playing with fire in tho barn when
the hay was set on fire, as consid-
erable hay and fodder was in the
building.
An old kettle was found in tho
ruins which convinced the strick-
en parents that they were playing
kitchen and cooking in the barn.
Mr.. and Mrs. Moore and Mr.. and
Mrs. Lowe have the sympathy of
the entire community in their sad
bereavement.
The loss was considerable in
property, as the barn was a good
one and we'll stocked with grain
and feed, but this is overlooked
when we consider the sad death of
three innocent little girls.
We live in country wonderful
ly endowed, splendidly equipped
for struggle with any other. Our
fertile lands can feed billion of
people as readily as they now sus-
tain sixty millions. We have a
sea coast almost limitless, within
our borders one-half of all
the fresh water in the world, locat-
ed in lakes and rivers, as if our
necessities and conveniences had
alone been consulted; as many
miles of railroad as the rest of the
world, and as Legitimate conse-
quence, the lowest rates of freight
to be found anywhere. We have
inexhaustable mines of iron and
coal in twenty-four of our States
and Territories; even mountains
of iron like Pilot Knob and Iron
Mountain, said. to contain 5OO,-
100000 of tons of good quality, ac-
cessible. We have copper, lead
tin, gold, silver, granite, slate, lime
rock, marble, mountains of salt
