1T DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

We understand that the Republi-
cans of the eastern part OF the State
are complaining that the new State
Administration has neglected that
section OF the commonwealth in dis
tributing the public offices. This is
unfortunate, if true; but then we Re-
publicans don't believe in sectional
ism, and if we criticise the Governor
for what appears to us drawing of
lines we are at the same time con-
demning ourselves if we demand rec
ognition as a section. We denounce
in another that which we on our part
espouse. 1t seems to make a wide
difference to many people, as to whose
COX is gored. Tyler Star.
The Star is too fair newspaper not
to be able to see that a party or adj
ministration which persistently ig-
nores a certain section of the State is
that which produces sectionalism.
There are eight counties east of the
mountains-Berkeley, Morgan, Grant,
and Mineral, Republican; Jefferson,
Hampshire, Hardy, and Pendleton,
Democratic. Nowhere in the State
can be found truer Republicans. No
where in the United States can be
found more intelligent or energetic
Democrats. Victories gained by
either party are earned The writer
of this, as the editor of the Star is well
aware, has had somewhat to do with
politics in the western portion of the
State; and knowing what "soft
snap" that section has, and also
knowing that Governor Atkinson is
aware of the prowess of our friends
the enemy, we are more than sur

prised that ne should be SO blind to
the best interests Of the Republican
party as to pass us by without so
much as a nod. We venture the as
sertion that the Thirteenth Senatorial
District is the only one in the State
that is not represented in some man
ner in the State Administration 1t
is also we'll to remember that at the
recent election there was larger Re
publican gain over the vote of "a in
this than in any other Senatorial Dis
trict in the State. For that reason
alone,if no other, we are entitled to
recognition.
II the Star can advance any reason
why this side should be ignored, it
will confer favor by expressing it.
self. The Herald may be overzealous
in its advocacy of the claims Of this
section of the State, and if so is open
to conviction. We know that the
brains and intelligence OF the Demo.
cratic party are here. Patronage
has been lavished upon them United
States Senator, Postmaster-G General,
Collector Of Internal Revenue, Dis
trict Attorney, and other positions OF
honor and trust, with their emolu-
ments, have to be met and overcome
by us. Then, when a Republican
lifts up his voice and demands recog-
milton, we are told that it would be a
mistake to recognize him. No reason
is assigned why we should be ignored
because none can be. On the con-
trary there is every reason why those
who have borne the brunt of the bat
tie and have come out victorious
should be rewarded.
The Herald does not want or in
tend to be factious, but our people are
tired Of being eternally and everlast-
ingly ignored. They asked for one
position in connection with the State
Administration and were turned
down. They now come forward with
candidate for the Office OF Collector
of Internal Revenue and though he
is Endorsed by two-thirds of the lead
ers in the State, and though the rank
and file are with him almost to man,
the editor of the Star fears it would be
a mistkae to appoint him. That is not
the stuff of which our Republicanism is
made. Such as that could not win
here.

1.-The West Virginia Judge VIII En-
ter the Campaign in 1900.

wheeling, w. Va, March %
Special. -The editor of Wheeling
paper this evening positively an
nounces that Judge Nathan Golf, OF
Clarksburg, who refused a place in
McKinley's Cabinet, will be candi-
late for United States Senatorin 1899,
and that his campaign for that place
has been begun by his lieutenants
over the State.
"Them men who are to represent him,
if they can be elected in the next Leg
islature from this county, have been
selected. 1t is generally conceded
that Golf can have the place.
The above is from the Philadelphia
Press and is partially correct. There
are certain contingencies upon which
the decision Of Judge Golf as TO his
candidacy for the Senate depends.
Just what they are it is not now nee.
essary to state; but it is true that he
can have the place if he desires it. A
safe prediction is that two years
hence he will be Senator Elkius'
colleague.

cratic champion of free trade from our
Western country, who has since
monopolized nearly the entire visible
supply of Democratic enthusiasm,
plunged down the aisle, amid the
enthusiastic yells of his associates,
lifted the exhausted statesman to his

protesting to the seclusion of the
cloak room, so that a few months
afterward, when the same gallant
young leader came among our people
and beamed benevolently upon them
from the platform of his advertising
car, offering them new and untried
remedies for their troubles, warranted
to kill or cure, God only knew which,
the farmers of the middle West again
illustrated their wisdom and sagacity

PROSPERITY WILL COME.

1t is fact that the tariff bill now
before the hoase is not such an one
as would have been framed had cir
cumstances been different. AS Gro
yer Cleveland was won't to remark, ''it
is condition and not theory which
confronts US" A deficit of nearly
two hundred million dollars exists
The public debt has been increased
by the issuance of bonds to the
amount Of $262, ooo, 900. The Gov
eminent needs and must have money.
A protective tariff can be arranged so
that it will afford but little revenue,
just as revenue tariff can be made
to provide very slight protection.
The Wilson law supplies neither rev.
enue nor protection. The Dingley
bill is intended to furnish both. II
revenue alone were required, duties
could be levied on articles not pro-
duced in this country. such as tea,
coffee, spices, etc If protection, a
duty on articles which come in com
petition with our products would be
proper. That was the idea of the
Mckinley law, while those things
which are non-competitive were adj.
mitted free. Under the operation of
the law in force at the time of the
enactment of the Mckinley law
there was large surplus. Sugar was
made practically free and bounty of 2
cents pound given on all produced
by our own people. The result was
cheap sugar. 1t is now proposed to
levy duty on sugar which will in
crease the price for time, but the
increase will be but temporary as
home production will soon reduce it
as was the case with tinplate and
other metal products. The addition
al cost of certain commodities can be
charged up to that very extravagant
luxury, Grover Cleveland's admins.
tration. Those who dance must pay
the piper, and as we have been waltz
ing about in that clover patch" these
past four years, there is heavy score
to settle. OF course the contempla-
ton of these things is anything but
pleasant, but there is no use in try
ing to shirk. The wind has been
sown and there is a large whirlwind
to be reaped.
The country is filled with foreign
goods. and importations are now ex-
ceedingly heavy and will continue
until the change, when, for a time
they will practically cease. Prices
will be abnormally advanced and the
great trusts, fostered for the past four
years. will fatten at a lively rate,
There is but one way by which this
can oe avoided and that is for the
Senate to act as promptly as the
House. That is contamination
that can only be wished, as there are
too many Democrats there. The bur-
den will rest upon them, but they will
disclaim all responsibility and there
are many who will, for sheer per-
verseness, coincide with them.
Out of all the turmoil of the next
few months will come that prosperity
which was once enjoyed, but for the
reasons enumerated above, its COM
ing will be retarded Could prompt
action be taken all would be we'll and
by the 4th of July the people would
be in mood to celebrate the Day of
