Tine PresIdent.s Message.


President Mckinley, on Monday sub
mitted his dr.t message to Congress. 1t
was well known before the Inaugural
ti1a Of the new President, that immedi-
ately upon taking the oath of Office Con-
eress would be called in extraordinary
session to consider the question of an
Increase Of revenue to meet the ex-
peuses Of the governmen; and therefore
the coneenipg of Congress and the
parport Of the Presidents message were
no surprizo The message is a short
document 10 the point and in no wise
Disappointing. TIE President pre-
faces his statement with an explanation
of the financial status of the National
Treasury with an expression of regret
that the revenues of the government
we're in such a condition as to compel
him to call Congress ogether BY a
carefully prepared statement of figures
he then eonclusively shows that for
more than three years the expenditures
Of tbe government have exceeded the
revenues, presenting the remarkable and
unusual spectacle, Notwithstanding our
multiplicity Of resources of raising reve-
nue., Of the nation increasing its pub
lie debt to meet the ordinary outlays
inaiiaut upon economical and prudent
niaistratioa Of the government.
susl condition Of affairs il unjustifa-
Bic aai should be corrected be tersly
pats it, And from the reports of the
Secretary of the Treasury he shows that
for lle three fiscal years ending June
30h 1895, the revenues to meet the
necessary expenditures of the govern
ment we're insufficient by the enormous
sum Of Sl37S11,729 46, To meet
tbs deficit and to keep a reserve in
treasury money has been borro we'd on
fbe faith Of the government to the
normous amount of 1882, 315, 400
hus increasing our national debt 20
that extent, and adding 20 the burden Of
the taxpayers an unnecessary expense
to defray the annually accruing interest.
The exposition thus made by the
President of the financial affairs of the
country fully jsstifes the action he has
taken to relieve the existing difficulty
aud the people feel satisfied at the first
steps he has taken in the direction Of
restoring our national credit which is
tue basis of prosperity.
The line Congress should pursue in
accomplishing the end sought by the
President also points out which is in
strict accord with Republican ideas and
the party's platform. He says
In raising revenues duties should
be 50 levied upon foreign products as to
preserve the home market so far as posi-
BILE to our own producers, to revive and
increase manufactures, to relieve and
encourage agriculture, to increase our
domestic and foreign commerce, to aid
and develop mining aud building and to
render to labor in every field of useful
occupation the liberal wages and ade-
qnate rewards to which skill and indus
try are justly entitled"

A Ranting Bishop

Bishop Mallalieu from Boston aimed
= cut q figure for uotoriety among the
methodist of Baltimore. He called the
's'e Confederate flag "disgracefull.
a'Omniaoie and Infamous rag" when
preaching sermon during which he
hung the strength of his seqtari,n gall
up n other questions which, in the
opi1lon Of sinners we're irrelevant and
hardly in tune with the teachings Of tie
Prince ofPeace It is but another bit
OF testimony which goes to prove that
certain set shouting sectarians are never
happy unless they are hating somebody
tor Chrlsts sake And the paradoxical
feature Of these exhibitions Of sanctiied
oulldozlng is. that the founder Of the
sect IN question, Wesley, was an iucar-
nation OF love and good will toward his
fellow man II the bowling bishop had
seen service through the late war he
would have learned to respect the brave
men aud their cherished emblem. A
DIT ofeffort even now in his matarer
years ought to convince him that mon
light for the flag which is hoisted BY
klndred blood, which probably would
have caused the ranting bishop to bowl
against the Old Glory had he been born
further South. But one step futher in
study wonld teach him that he is not a
Mohammedan fanatic simply because be
was not bonn among them, bnt evident
" has the material in his organism for
first class chief of an inquisition. At
any rate, he keeps Up toe pioas record
Of certain portion of his sect who are
forever hating somebody for the sake of

COtillOn Favors


1t is interesting study to note the
different uses to which the so called New
York society girl put her eontillon
faVors One girl always has something
ready when she hears the little voice 10
the early morning say through the crack
of the door: "Sister, got anything for
mel What did you get last night ~
Another girl saves them all from year
to year. She came out in society last
winter, and one entire side of her bed
room is covered with every conceivable
favor, even to an enormous Japanese
spider, tied by the neck with narrow
ribbon. This year she has had rack
made to hang her new ones on. The
effect is very bright and pretty in her
room. Then we hear of still another
kind girl:
This girl rips up almost all her favors
and makes good, practical use of nearly
every one. She trims her summer hats
with the artificial flowers and ribbons.
makes collar and belts of some of them
uses the fans and gives some away as
In fact, she asserts that 90
ing to dance is great economy. The
incest one of all the girls who is lucky
enough to get favors is the one who.
without telling any one or letting any
one see, will divide with some othey
girl at the dance who has not had such
, good time as herself and in that way
will help to send her home happy and

is innocent, and should not be punished
at all. The jury and the Court deciueu
that he was guilty. In my judgment the
Court and the jury were correct IN theh
finding. They decided that Noires was
euiltv OF the murder OF Gibson, or at
least. was a party 10 the murder. Subse-
ouentIv. Voires. who was confronted with
the galIows. and hoping for the commute
ton of a sentence 10 Imprisonment in the
penitentiary for life. and being promised
bv the officials OF the Criminal Court OF
Kanawha county such immunity, confess
ed that he was party to the murder Of
John Cochran. thereby making himself
double murderer. and for this reason, asks
leniency. In view Of all the facts 1 can
not grant this plea. He admits guilt IN
both cases as an accessory. and under the
law. an accessory is as guilty as the prin-
cipal. Il seems to me. in view of all the
facts. that the law in his case should be
allowed 10 take its course.
Taking the testimony as a whole, which
I have examined with carefulness, L am
convinced that Albert Voirs was one Of
the uurderers Of both Gibson and Coch-
ran. and. inasmuch as the Criminal Court
of Fayette county, in the legal manner
provided by law saw fit 10 convict him OF
one Of these murders. namely; Charles
Gibson, 1 do not feel 1t 10 be my duty 10
commute the sentence TO life imprison-
ment. as asked by counsel for him. 1 am
compelled. therefore. in the interest Of
public justice and the maintenance Of the
law Of our State for the protection of life
and property. TO overrule the motion.
