THO Iionrtli DIstrlct.

PnrkcrsburG State Journal: The
Democratic congressional convention Is
over and Hon. Walter Pendlcton nchIcv-
ed notable victory In securing the
nomination.. He Is fine gentleman
and will take defeat at the polls this
fall with the philosophy Of n gentle
man ana 4 scholar. We do not believe
that the people OF this district will elect
Democrat this fall. On the contrary,
we believe they will pronounce for Hon.
Warren Miller, our present faithful
and working member. Mr.. Pendle-
ton stands on too weak a platform to
command a majority OF the votes In this
district He is for free silver, free wool
and for the Democratic party. His op-
potent, Hon. Warren Miller, will stand
for protective tariff, for reciprocity,
for gold. silver and paper money, all
worth one hundred cents on the dollar
for the Aibnroe doctrine, for internal
improvements, for restricted immiSra-
ton, for Just and liberal pension pol
Icy and for prosperity and good times.
That Is why Mr.. PGndleton, though a
clever gentleman. cannot hope to have
success on 4 platform that would tear
down and not build up and add to the
further decentralization OF business. Mr..
Tendletons convention wouldn't en-
dorsc the Wilson free trade bill. Meth
or would It condemn 1t. So 1t said moth
Ing, or straddled. Not one word OF
praise was said for the Democratic
President OF the Democratic senator
from this state. The Democratic plat
form is eloquent with silence on nil the
Gr.ut issues or the day, except one: and
1t Is the silence Of fear and defeat.

MAKING BLACK WHITE.
Even Congress Can't DO 1t-LeSislnt!on
Cannot Establish Values.

Cannot Establish Vaiues.
Philadelphia Inquirer: Suppose Con-
gress should pass the following act:
AN ACT
to make one ton OF coal equal to one
bushrl OF wheat.
Section l.. Re It enacted by the SEN
ate ind the house of representatives of
the United States OF America, and 1t Is
hereby enacted, that upon the passage
OF this act one ton of coal shall be equal
In value to one bushel of wheat.
How would such legislation be re-
ceived by the people? They would
laugh ut II. They would make all man
ner OF fun of the Congressman who
had taken part In such nonsense. The
man with the ton OF coal would still
demand It's market value, and the far
mer with the bushel OF wheat would
get just what he could for 1t.
There Is universal law of supply and
demand which Is paramount to any
legislation. and there IL not n ten-year-
old child who would not puncture Con-
grcss with his dart and ridIculc its
members as Il set of know-nothings
should they adopt such legislation.
Suppose. again. Congress should en-
act the following: ..E
AN ACT
to establish the ratio between gold and
silver.
Sec4.an /. Be 1t enacted by the SEN
ate and the house OF representatives
OF the United Sites OF America, and 1t Is
hereby, enacted that upon the passage
Of, thIs act sixteen ounces OF silver shall
be equal IN value to one ounce OF gold.
The market price of$sslvcr to-day Is
about 80 to /, when compared with gold.
How would It be possible. then, for Con-
grcss TO declare iIltty cents to lie one
dollar any more than It would be posi-
bic to declare that n bushel Of wheat
Is equal 10 a ton OF coal?
Z. You cannot make black white.
