The state Democratic press Is very bit

clsms OF leading Republicans, but some
times It's malICllusness leads II TO so 20
ridiculous extremes. A case in point Is
furnished by special dispatch from
Charleston In one Of our Democratic con-
temporarles The trial OF Judge Nc
Donald. president OF the board Of county
commissioners Of Kanawha county. Is IN

Mcdonald being charged with sundry

passed where Mcdonald and his attorney
were seated "he shook hands with the
latter and said; Hello. Mac?' Mcdonald
returned the greeting with: How are
you, GOVERNOR" The governor then
took his seat by Judge Tavenner, who Il
presiding at the trial" This Conduct
of the governor says the correspondent,
has caused considerable criticism"
Now, why should the passing greeting
OF Governor Atkinson to one of the prin-
cipals in the impeachment trial OF a
county officer provoke criticism? Was
1t any more than any other member OF
the bar might do? Is 1t at all an uncom-
mon proceeding for an attorney visiting
court room TO greet with the ordinary
courtesIes OF the day any man present

quaintance, even though he be the pris-

chief executive OF the state of West Vir-

are open to public comment, but who
shall say that he has no right to exercise
his prerogative as a citizen and gentle
man and speak to whomsoever he

Charleston West yirginIan: The
height of indecent criticism has been
reached by the Gazette and Mail In their
comments upon the Mcdonald trial. on
Friday evening Governor Atkinson WIS.,
tied the court house to meet Judge Lew

and he incidentally dropped into seat
by Colonel Mcdonald. the official who
Is answering in a most satisfactory
manner the damnable conspiracy
brought about to deprive hlm.of his Of
Acinl position, to which he was elected
by the people.
For doing so, the governor Is indie
Gently assaulted by the Gazette. the
organ OF the cOnspirators, and the
Mail, the dutiful lacky, trails In with
its next issue and echoes It's master s
desires, with an attack not so garrulous,
but whose intentions are as reprehensl-
BILE. The idea that an American citizen,
who happens to be governor. Is to be as
saulted with an utter disregard for the
feelings or proproletles Of the occasion,
by the subsidized press or movement
that has for Its object the bounding of
an official whose official acts have serv-
cd to put check to untold abuses in
county affairs that has existed for years
Is about the zenith of lmpudence, and
calls for the severest condemnation OF
all decent and order loving people.
1t has not been sufficient for the Ga
zette and Mail to use every means with
in their command to damage Colonel
Mcdonald. by the publication of the
most unfair and partial statements
concerning his official conduct, and 70
pursue him needessly. they now resort
to attacks upon individuals and citl-
zens, who happen to be friends OF the
accused.
Governor Atkinson has not fallen In
the estimation of the common people by
reason of the fact that he exercised his
prerogatiye as n citizen and shook
hands with Colonel Mcdonald in the

A R.marLable Proesedlns.

The board appointed to locate the site
for the state Home for Incurables has
Just engaged in very remarkable pro-
ceeding which may yet defeat the states
purpose to establish the home, unless
some way out of the difficulty can be
found. The action OF the committee In
adjourning the meeting at Parkersburg
Saturday, until November TO- was In vlo-
lation of the provision Of the act ~ the
legislature and renders the former pro-
ceedings entirely void.
The act provides that the site for the
home should be selected and the title ac-
qulred for the property purchased or
granted on or before the Goth day uf Sep
TENDER. Under these express terms OF
the act, yesterday (Monday) was the day
on which the time in which site could
be secured expired and with 1t the terms
OF office OF the committee, Notwiih-
standing this fact, the committee has ad-
journed until November 10. Huntington,
which had been fixed upon as the site,
having failed to make good its guaran-
tee of property. Parkersburg had previ-
ously been selected as the location for
the home, but 1t, too, had failed to COM
ply with the terms agreed upon. This
left Huntington and Charleston in the
field for the prize, and Huntington won,
as above stated.
When It was found at the meeting OF
last Saturday that Huntington could not
make Its promise OF land good within the
time specified by law 1t being but two
days until the expiration Of that time,
the committees duty was to cast about
for another site in a community which
could make Its guarantee good in time.
The Intellgencer is informed that the
Charleston offer was still available That
city offered building already construct
ed and splendldly equipped, 1t having
been originally intended for a hospital,
and such building as would answer the
purpose OF the state. having cost S27, 900,
In addition was thirty acres of land and
a cash offer to pay part OF the expense
of any additional building the state re-
qulred. This was all offered free to the
state by the capital city, and the Intelli-
gencer is informed that the deal could
have been closed within twenty-four
hours, and the property decided to the
state before the expiration OF the limit
fixed by law.
This offer was ignored, and the ad-
journment, which vitlates all that has
been done and may require further action
by the legislature before the institution
can be located,was taken as noted above.
What action the board OF directors of the
institution. which meets In this city next
week, will take in the matter remains to
be seen. High legal authority has held
that the action OF the committee on site,
in permitting the 10th OF September to 20
by without final action, renders all for
mer actions void. This Is a matter In
which the state is deeply interested. and
the Intelligencer trusts that the board of
directors win be able to see some way
out of tangie which 1t did no! itself
create.
