PREGNANT WORDS.

The inaugural address of President
Mckinley is one of the richest political
classics ever delivered to the people of
the United States. 1t is remarkable for
ITS condensation, clearness, scope and
tactfui treatment of current Issues. 1t
is wisdom of all the wise and prosper
Gus years in the history of the Repub-
lie concentrated in a nutshell. The more
we read it the more are we impressed
as to its timeliness, the thoroughness
of the Presidents convictions and
the urgent need of the legislation he
foreshadows. His words are a benedic.
ton as well as a prophecy.
The President advises caution in ref.
erence to a change in our financial
laws; he stands by International BIZ
metallism; he deprecates the evils of
laws; he urges that the nation keep out
of debt; he advocates the re enactment
of reciprocity along with a tariff meas.
ure that will produce ample revenues:
he demands one law for great and
small; he favors a sensible civil service:
he urges arbitration as a substitute for
war; and rejoices that the sectional par
tisans belong to the past and Nation
alism is now sup
We note these salient points of the
address as the outline of the policy
that will dominate the new administra-
ton. The country can not be in doubt
as to President McKinley's purposes.
There will be no vacillation ''or even
shadow of turning" upon his part,
There will be no jingoism about his
administration. Presidential promo.
motion and party expediency will cut
no figure. The public good will be his
sole care and concern. There is now
that fixed and permanent certainty
that is the sine qua non of confidence,
enterprise and thrift. Business condi-
tons can adjust themselves at once TO
this new status. The old time tested
forms, that have always offered the
amplest protection and gave the most
perfect satisfaction, will not be dis.
turbed-only improved upon. That
measure, which is the inspiration and
life of American industry, whose re-
peal in '93 submerged the whole coun-
try in desperate want and distress, will
be restored in all its veal producing
effectiveness.
The few words that the new Presi.
dent has spoken are an inspiration and
the whole country is thrilled with their
electrical effect.

THE present Legislature of this State
is determined to make a record for
economy. An evidence of this is found
in the fact that a resolution was adopt.
ed by that body last week that they

fourth day of the present session aud
then reasonable on May 1 for twenty
four hours, in order ito be present at
the opening of the Centennial EXPOSE

1T looks very much as though the
Legislature of this State was determin.
ed to nullify the good that the estab.

of a fish hatchery in this part of the
State would do, by granting special
privileges to 80 many of the counties as
to the catching of fish by means which
are, under tho general law, unlawful.

The bill passed the House by a vote of

named Marcus Rockenstein, of Park
ersburg, applied to Judge Rood for a
marriage license for himself and Miss
Daisy Martin, of the same city. lie
stated that the young lady's age was
only nineteen years and Judge Rood
refused to grant the license because in
West Virginia woman must be 81
years old to marry without the consent
of her parents. Afterward the young
man said he might be mistaken, and
going to the hotel, soon reappeared
with the bride-to-be, who claimed she
was twenty-one. She was accompan-
led by young gentleman and lady
friend and the latter testified that Miss
Martin was past the age required.
Judge Rood thereupon issued the
license upon the young woman's atfida-
Wit and the happy and handsome couple
left to look for minister.
