SENATOR ELKIN SIS BILL.

Senator Elkins, of West Virginia,
has introduced in the United States
Senate very remarkable bill. The
measure provides that "a discriminat-
ing duty of ten per cent advalorem, in
addition to the duties imposed by law,
shall be levied, collected and paid on
all goods, wares and merchandise which
shall be imported on vessels not be-
longing to citizens of the United
States" The bill virtually prohibits
the carrying of freights from any 9TH
er country to the United States ex-
cept by ships owned by our citizens
The apparent object of Senator Ell
kins is to build up the merchant ma
rine business by offering monopoly
of the bushes. of this part Of the world
to those who may build or own ships
In our opinion his bill is simply RI
diculous one. It's first effect would
be to array every maritime power in
the world against the United States.
They would, of course, at once retail
ate against our vessels and our pro-
duets. The result would be that our
ships would not be allowed to carry
freight to their shores, and almost every
port in the world would be closed to
our products. What would the farm
er do if his wheat and corn and other
products were shut out of foreign
markets? Would our people be will
ing to burden themselves with the IN
creased cost that would result if
monopoly Of the freight carrying bust
ness were given to few persons or
corporations? There is no danger, of
course, that the absurd measure pro-
posed by Senator Elkins, which would
upset the natural laws of the COM
merclal world, will become law. But
we fear our Senator is becoming
dangerous man.

JUDGE BENEFITS POSITION.

The following article recently APP
peared in the Wheeling Register, and
is reproduced in the Weston Demo
crat with the announcement that is
the correct position assumed by Judge
Bennett in regard to the gubernatorial
nomination:
The position of Judge George Ben
nett. OF Weston, upon the gubernatorial
question has not been correctly stated
to the public. True, he is not candl-
date for the position, in the sense OF
making canvass for the nomination.
Yet it is equally true that if the party,
in convention, shall regard him as an
available candidate and shall nominate
him. he will accept the nomination and
make an active, energetic campaign.
Judge Bennett ranks well up among the
most talented and distinguished men
and Democrats of the State. He would
reorganize the party and rally around
him his workers. and give TO us cam
paign. from start TO finish. of energy,
brains. pluck and fight that would route
the Republicans. re-eStablish the su-
premacy of our party, and give to the
State one of the best Governors il has
ever had.
The REGISTER still insists that the
Governor this year should come from
the Eastern Panhandle. We have two
available men right here in Jefferson
county-Hon. A. S. cambridge and
Col. Forrest w. Brown. And Judge
E. Boyd Faulkner is next door in
Berkeley county.
If we may take the liberty, however,
of making a second choice-ln the
event that circumstances should pre-
vent the nomination coming this way
we should not hesitate to name
Judge Bennett. He is man of high
character and great ability, and would
bring to the office of Governor dignity
and integrity most desirable in such a
place. There seems to be growing
impression in his favor throug hout the
State. The people generally express a
desire to see not only change In the
personality of our Governor as required
BY law, but complete revolution in
the very spirit and atmosphere, They
want a Governor who will command
respect at home and abroad, and who
shall be lar above the level of the COM
mon pot-house politician who sees
nothing in public affairs but his own
personal advantage. We believe Judge
Bennett is the sort of man who would
fill the demand Of the Democracy Of
West Virginia.

Would Not Be Taken Alive.

An intensely sensational affair is re-
ported from Centre county, Pa. Last
fall. at Woodward, William Etlinger
was arrested for an assault upon his
father-in-law, Benjamin Benner whom
he nearly scalped with piece of cord
wood. He was brought to- jail at Belle
fonte, but soon secured bondsmen.
When the case was called for trial Ell
linger was not to be found He had
fled to a cave in the mountain Businesses
which hem in the village. Last Thurs
day Constable John Barner learned
that the fugitive had surreptitiously
slipped down to his home, where he
had fortified himself The constable
went to Etlingers house, whereupon
the latter warned him not to attempt
to arrest him. The constable, how
ever, with posse, entered through a
window, and found the man he was
after in an adjoining room. He kicked
a hole in the door and was crawling
through it, when Etlinger shot and
killed him. The posse fed, but soon
returned with the sheriff and large
number of assistants. Etlinger had
barricaded his house, where, with his
wife and two little children, he held
the fort. He was well armed, and
whenever man showed himself shot
was fred at him. Several persons
were wounded by the desperate man,
and finally a crowd of 1000 persons
surrounded the house.
He kept them all at bay for twenty
four hours. Finally a man, under
cover of a thousand guns, crept to the
house and set it aire. The occupants
retreated to the cellar, and when the
heat and smoke from the burning
building became uncomfortable a little
boy five years old and little girl
three years old were thrust out Of the
cellar door, and they ran crying down
the road. Presently Etlinger's wife
rushed from the cellar, and as she ian
slowly from the house her husband
fred four shots at her, but all missed
her. Then, as the hot embers were
falling about him, Etlinger stepped
from the blazing building, aud delib-
erately blew his own brains out with
a revolver. The crowd made rush
for the house and succeeded in getting
out the body of the constable. Ell
fingers wife said that he tied her in
the house to keep her there, He was
but Is years old.

Two Lives Saved.

Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction
City, H., was told by her doctor she

life. Mr.. Thos. Eggers, l39 Florida
St., San Francisco, suffered from a
dreadful cold, approaching consump-
ton. tried without result everything
else then bought one bottle of DR.

weeks was cured. He is naturally

So said Charles Broadway Rouss,
millionaire, to a reporter in the office
of his ten-st6ry granite building, at
No. 55l Broadway, New York, a few
days ago.
II can't see whether l am speaking

time all will be night" He smiled as
he spoke, not sadly, but cheerfully.
He was paying the penalty Of twenty
years of overwork and he had no COM

other day.

some poor invalid, Ito be in his place
for a year OF two Yet half of the in
valds we see might be inst as healthy
as he, if they would only take proper

It's so strange that such simple things
are overlooked by those who want heath.
Food makes health.
Ii makes strengthened strength wards
off sickness. The man who had never
been sick was strong because he always
digested his food. and you could become

SENATOR CHANDLER has done well,
we think, to turn his attention from
war with England to abuses under his
own nose in the United States Senate
He proposes to investigate fully the
management of that august but ex-
pensive body, and has already made
some interesting discoveries. He has
found 343 employees on the Senate
pay-rolls, about four to every Senator.
Their salaries foot UP to $462,OOO, or
more than the Senators themselves re-
ceive in salaries. If Senator Chand-
Ter shall check some of these extrava-
gances he will gain more credit than
if he gets war started on account OF
Venezuela.
