A. d. GARDEN.

The unexpected death of Hon. A. D.
Garden. United States Marshal for
West Virginia. yesterday was a shock
to the community. The sad news was
deeply deplored on all hands, for the
deceased was exceedingly popular, and
all men were his friends.
Hale. hearty. robust as he had been
all his life, Mr.. Garden overestimated
his ability to overcome the effects of
the railroad accident last September,
in which he was severely scalded by
steam. which terribly injured his
throatandl lungs. rendering him an easy
prey to the disease which carried him
off.
Genial warm-hearted. generous.
LATE" Garden counted his friends by
the hundred. For a dozen years he had
been active in the affairs of the county
and State. in which. by the sheer force
Of his fine, manly character and his
sterling integrity and worth, he won
honorable distinction. A thorough
man of the people, he was a true Dem
ocrat, and stood high, indeed, in his
party. to which he gave devoted and
splendid service. In the prime of life,
he was one of the most promising men
in the State, and everywhere his sad
and untimely death will be deeply and
sincerely mOurned.
To his bereaved family the Register
conveys the heartfelt sympathy of the
community in which he was born and
raised. and of hundreds of his mourn
ing friends throughout the State.

san outcry against the Wilson tariff
and all ,ue laudation of the Mckinley
tariff in comparing them as measures
of revenue have been over a matter of
less than a million dollars? But while
tn. revenues from customs under the
present tariff will steadily rise with ex-
banding trade, under the Mckinley tar
if the revenues were dwindling from
year to year by reason of its obstruc-
tions to trade-as thus: Revenues from
customs in 1892. S191. 1877, 9S6; in 1898.
S17S. PSI. 436; in 1894, S131. POI ,O54. These
returns. as the Philadelphia Record
points out. show that had not the Re
publicans been driven from power in
1892 they would have been obliged to
reduce the barbarously high duties
i'm order to provide necessary revenues.
In face Of this experience, they now
propose to partially restore these pro-
tective duties, with the pretense of in
creasing public income, when the
Treasury surplus from the sales of
bonds is more than sufficient to meet
every expenditure Of the government.
1t is not the fault of the Wilson tar
lif. nor of the administration, that the
receipts from the internal tax on spir-
its have steadily declined. Notwith-
standing the increase of this tax from
80 cents to S1.1J a gallon. the revenue
I from spirits in 1895 amounted 10 S72,-
2SO.57O. against $9515Z271 in 1892. The
explanation of this enormous decline
in the revenues from spirits is that
the average American citizen is con-
suming less and less whisky every year
for drink. Nor has this decrease in
the use of whisky been made up by an
{ increased consumption of beer; for the
! Treasury returns show that the rev.
euues from beer are very little greater
now than they We're four years ago.
But while by reason of the voluntary
revolution in the drinking habits OF
. the American people the revenues from
whisky have declined more than S2O,-
100000 since 1892, it serves the purpose
of dishonest partisan enemies OF the
present tariff to attribute the loss Of
+ government receipts wholly to a de-
cline in customs. This falsehood is ne
cessary as a basis for the fraudulent
tariff bin now in Congress, the object
of which is to restore the worst fea-
lures of the Mckinley tariff

Lent is always a season Of activity
in religious work, but this year 1t ap-
pears that the Wheeling churches are
making preparations for carrying out
their plans on a broader rscale than ever
before. The season is observed by spe-
cial services in the churces OF several
denominations, notably the Roman
Catholic. Episcopal and Lutheran. In
churches of these denominations there
will be regular week day services. In
the Catholic churches the forty days
preceding Easter are observed in fast
ing and penance. and the degree OF So
lemnity in the ceremonies eliminates
in the solemn services of Holy Week
while the bright decorations and the
lively music on Easter are in strikinn
contrast.

The New York Mail and Express has
an interview with ex-senator Henry
G. Davis. which we reproduce in anoth-
er column. Mr.. Davis is one the
shrewdest and most level-headed men
in the country. and his views upon af-
fairs are worth listening TO. Mr.. Davis
is anything but a rainbow chaser, and
his great private business interests
long ago. took him ont of politics. but
ne predicts good times ahead for this
country and quotes the solid facts Of
better railroad earnings. and the flour
ishing condition OF the iron trade, the
great business barometer. in support
OF his opinion. UnQuestionably Mr..
Davis is right The country is slowly
but surely getting out of the slough of
despond into which a quarter of CEN
fury Of monopoly legislation led it. The
Democratic tariff reform sun of pros
perity is dawning.

tt is small wonder that European &C
tors and music hall performers have
begun to look upon America as their
Eldorado. Yvette Guilbert has gone
back to Paris 6urdened with thousands
Of American dollars as remuneration
for singing a few weeks in this country
songs which. if sung in our language
would probably have caused her ar
rest.
Another instance of the power of a
European reputation in this country is
the case of Loie Fuller. the serpentine
dancer. who is now under engagement
to appear in New York at an alleged
rate of $1,000 per night. 1t is said that
when she danced the serpentine dance
i'm an uptown New York theater. she
got little more than passing notice.
That was a few years ago. She then
went to Paris and was taken up"
there. and now she returns to America
for one thousand a night and people
who were half-hearted in their ap-
plause before she went to Paris will
stamp and clap their hands as though
they had never seen her equal And
all on account of her European repu-
tation" Chevalier. the London coster
singer, has also been engaged at an
advertised pay Of $4,000 a week, to sing
to gaping New Workers hungry for
something European.
1t is a pity the tariff or the Monroe
doctrine doesn't apply in such cases.

Michigan is advanced enough TO

schools. For ten years past systematic
effort has been made to instruct the
people as To- the ways i'm which germ
diseases are spread, and there has fol-
lowed a most gratifying decrease i'm
disease. particularly in children's all
ments. There is not the least doubt
that contagious diseases like diphther-
ia. scarlet fever. measles and whOoping
cough could be cut down 80 per cent.
by using the most ordinary precau-
tions in disinfection. nursing, proper
isolation and privity of funeral OBJ
servances. The Michigan system
should commend itself to the legislat-
ors and health authorities of other
states.

REVENUES AND THE new TARIFF
The latest report of the Treasury
Bureau Of Statistics, giving the re-
turns Of exports and imports and the
government revenues and exependi-
lures for 1895. gives the lie to the par
usan misrepresentation in and out of
Congress. that the revenues are made
ouate to support the government and
that on this ground the Reed Dingley-
lied Mckinley bill has become neces-
sary to stop a growing Treasury def
cit. Even if this falsehOOd were gos-
pei truth the Republican tariff meas
IRE now in Congress would not better
the situation. since it was designed. not
TO yield more revenue. but TO increase
the monopoly tariff taxes on the neces-
saries of the masses of the people.
The official returns show that while
greatly reducing the burdens Of the
people and removing grievous obsUuc-
tons to trade. the Wilson tariff is bet
ter than was the Mckinley iniQuity as
a producer of revenue. In 1895 the rev
enues from imports amounted to S164-
452.O26. In the three Mckinley years
OF 1892. 1898 and 1894 the average rev
enue from imports was S165. 426.S0S.

wages in the United States are double
those of English printers, though the
cost of composition is the same. The
reason is that the American printer is

wages i'm this country it costs us less
to print books. This is another illus

ParkersbuTg. w. Va, February 2l.-
The Echo Oil Company, composed prin-
cipally of Waynesburg, Pa, people, are
the owners of the big gusher on the
Widow Rawson farm in the Calf creek
field. When the drill reached the Big
I Injun sand a heavy flow of gas and
oil was noticeable and the machinery
was at once removed to a safe distance
from the well and tanks we're erected
The bit was then sent into the sand,
and a powerful flow of oil and salt
water came to the surface Experienced
oil men state that the well is good for
at least 375 barrels a day, and is in
creasing in production rapidly.
The famous Preacher" well. which
came in several months ago in the same
held, and which was good for about 500
barrels a day, is now reported as hav-
ing settled down to a little over ten
barrels a day, but since being agitated
several days ago is increasing in pro-
ductiOn.
Locations for several new wells
nave been made since the Rawson well
was drilled IN, and he rush for terri
tory is very great.
Contractor f. NJ. Dulin. Of this citv.
has completed a well in the Indian
creek territory on the TYLER and bod
bridge county lines, which is fair pro-
Queer. The well is owned by the South
