The splendid reception given by the
state OF Tennessee to the West Virginia
visitors on Vest Virginia Day was at
once high compliment to this state and
an evidence that the authorities Of the
centennial know how to confer hospitali-
ties upon visiting neIghbors,
The speech of Governor Atkinson, de-
llvered on behalf Of this state, was a
happy one and expressive of approprla-
ate sentiments As usual, in acknowl-
edging the courtesles received at the
hands OF the hosts of the occasion. and
in extolllng their virtues and the pro-
gressiveness of the new SOUTH" which
is 30 rapidly recovering from the de-
vastating effects Of the great civil war.
the governor did not fail to put In a word
for the advancement the progress and
the wonderful natural resources of his
own state. Without attempting to elab-
crate on all these things, the governor
suited his words to the occasion and re-
fected the sentiments of the people OF
West Virginia.

state commerce commission. when con-
templating the fact that In two years
our railways had run behind over SI5.-
900, 900, remarked: SHOULD this continue,
either the,investments or the credits Of
railways must disappear" In the
United States the credit has already
gone, and the investment Is rapidly fol-
lowing. About 81. 800 OOO, 900, or over sew
enty per cent Of the capital stock OF
railways pays no dividend whatever,
In England the returns OF 1896 show
that only $2S5, 900, or about eight per
cent, Of the capital stock. is unremun-
eratlve. In England the dividends av-
erage nearly four per cent; in the Unit
ed States last year only about one one
half per cent,
In the United Kingdom, the interest
OF no loans or bonds went by default.
The report says of about $5,0O0,00O
mot entitled to interest" and interest
ranging from two TO five per cent and
over was paid on the loans and deben-
lures, aggregating about Sl,45OOOO,OOO
AS an onset TO this healthy showing We
have about S90,O00,000 of the bonds of
American railways in default, or nearly
II per cent OF the whole. AS invest
ments for saving funds, with few not
ed exceptions, the American railway Sc
curity cuts no figure, on the other hand,
English railway securities are looked
upon in this country as excellent stocks
to buy not for speculation, but for in
vestment, AS consequence, English
railways can command all the neces-
sary capital to carry on needed i'm
provements and employ the full quota
of hands.

The Springfield, Massachusetts,, Re-
publican. which 10 itself one OF the
models OF clean and able Journalism, has
this to say to the credit OF the New York
Sun under the control of the late Charles
A, Dana:
1t 10 always to be remembered 10 the
credit Of Charles A. Dana that he kept
the news columns OF the New York Sun
decent and maintained that sense o. pro-
portion and value that made his news
paper a power for clean and rational
Journalism. The business OF newspaper
making in this country owes a lasting
debt To Mr.. Dana for this. He was a
bulwark against yellow journalism In
these modern days OF freaks and gutter
exploitation.
This Is true, and It was the freedom
from the sensatlonallsm which has
grown to be the chief characteristic of the
yellow journals OF the great cities OF the
country, that made the Sun a welcome
visitor to the homes of the country and
added to Mr., Dana's reputation as n
great editor. Cleanliness IN the news
columns of newspaper is powerful
factor In the shaping of public morals.

THE lNTELLIGENCER.
wHEELINo, oCTonER 81, 1897.


The trouble in the Kanawha mining
region recalls a prediction made by the
1ntelligencer at the beginning of the re-
osnt great miners strike, when the West
Virginia miners were asked to go out in
sympathy for the strikers IN other states.
AT that time the West Virginia workers
were IN much better condition than their
brethren in other states, and the agita-
tors sent into the state admitted 1t; they
simply asked our miners In the Falrmont
and Kanawha regions to strike through
sympathy in order that coal famine
might be created.
The Intelligencer warned the West Vir-
ginia men who had an abundance Of
work at better pay than was being re-
ceived elsewhere that their interests
were separate from those who had grew
ances and that their best policy would be
TO remain at work; that the miners
elsewhere could and would be granted
Justice without their assistance. which
prediction has been fulfilled.
In the two regions referred to above
the miners took different courses, An
overwhelming majority OF the miners in
the Fairmont region did not join the
sympathy strike. but about all the Ka-
nawha miners did. The Fairmont men
got steady work at good wages and are
still at work. In the Kanawha region,
after an idleness OF several months, with
all its attendant sufferings, they are still
struggling, still idle, without provisions,
and winter fast approaching, while the
men for whom they struck through sym
patty are busy at work with 20 per cent
advance in wages, and are leaving their
sympathizers in the Kanawha region to
struggle alone We have heard of no
strike through sympathy for the Ka-
nawha miners.
What the result will be cannot be fore
told, but the situation in Kanawha is not
a hopeful one, in the face of winter the
hardships of which the families OF the
miners are unprepared for, while condi-
tons in the Fairmont region are exact
ly the reverse. Sympathy Is good
thing, and 1t Is proper at all times to ex-
hibIt 1t in some substantial way, but
there is law OF humanity which
prompts, or should prompt, every man to
look first to his own household and its
needs. His first duty is to his own wife
and children, and then. IL he has enough
and to spare. let him help those OF his
neighbor.
We can only feel pity for the men In
the Kanawha valley who, having made
such fearful sacrifices for their brethren
in other states who are their COM
petItors in business, now find themselves
suffering from the effects of that sacri-
flee. while those they hoped to assist are
enjoying the fruits of the victory they
won, and remain unheedful OF the plight
of their late syhpathizers.

A Gallant Act,on Recalled.

Morgantown Post: The Post is in re-
ceipt OF proceedings Relating to the
Organization OF the United States Ma
val Academy Alumni Association re-
Gently held In New York. We especially
note the address of Hon. John j. Nc
Cook, who was rendered cabinet po-
sltion lately, and Is now spoken of as
the next attorney general. He makes
the following reference TO a citizen OF
our state:
"As an example OF this you will read
lily recall the scene when n sudden cy-
clone struck several men-of-war in a
small Samoan harbor, The English
man, with adequate engine power,
stemmed the gale and forced his way
to safety out upon the open sea, The
American commander with less able
ship, but with quick intelligence, sent
his men aloft so as to avail of the tor
nadoS force against them, TO give head
and steerage way to his ship, thus
saving the lives of his crew, Gallantry
was added to good seamanship, for the
men on the yards gave hearty cheers
for the English ship and the English
tars as they fought their way to safety
in the open seas, and the band stood in
order on the Americans deck, playing
the star spangled Banner" until she
struck the reef.
~ am sorry for the man, II there be
such creature, whose blood Is not
stirred within him, when he reads of
such scenes, and does not wish success
to "a service, which has so often brought
distinction and honor to our country
and the flag which represents It," (Ap-
plause)
The above reference is of course to

His Name wHI I..vs.

In the death of George NJ. Pullman the
world loses a man whose inventive gen.
ius gave it the modern sleeping car sys-
tenn and opened up the way for greater
comfort and safety to railway travellers,
and his name and fame will live in the
history of the railways Of this country 50
long as they have history.
In many respects Mr.. Pullmans career
has been remarkable one. starting, as
1t did. with the conception from which
grew an enormous business that yielded
him a vast fortune and has conferred
benefits upon the millions of American
travellers. While 1t was only question
of time until the progressiveness of the
age would evolve the Improvements in
methods we now enjoy. to Pullman is
due the honor of being the pioneer in this
line.

In some of the states there Is COM
plant of the secrecy in connection with
the granting of pardons by the execu-
ttves, the public not being made aware
of the effort being made until after the
pardon As granted. Attention Is called
to the fact that tho constitution of the
state of Mississippi conalns a clause
which provides that no pardon shall be
granted by the governor until the appli-
cation shall be published thirty days in
a newspaper in the county In which the
crime was committed, and that such
publication shall state the reasons for
which the pardon is asked. i
1t seems that this Is a wise provision
and that 1t is safeguard against possi-
BILE scandal in connection with the grant
ing of pardons. In the states where
complaints are frequent about too much
mystery IN pardon proceedings, surely
such a law as Mississippi has would be
an absolute preventative.

Chicago Record: Last summer a young
woman Of sixteen was In Paris for the
first time, enjoying the excitement of
shopping, and 1t Is more absorbing to n
girl than q football game to boy. She
couldn't go sightseeing because she
must visit dressmakers' shops, and she
couldn't talk or think or dream about
anything but gowns and hats and other
things to wear. One day her father told
her she must not let such matters alb
sorb her entire attention, There were
many things in Paris, he said, that
every girl ought 10 see as a matter Of
education, and he feared that she was
wasting an opportunity that might never
come again. To clinch the argument he
quoted scripture: Consider the lilies OF
the field" etc. land yet Solomon in all
his glory was not arrayed like one Of
these"
That's oil right, papa for lilies that
stay all the time In n field and never go
anywhere, hut It doesn't apply to girls
who are always going somewhere, who
see friends and schoolmates who have
nice clothes and who want TO look as
well as possible"

In the absence Of a congressional ses-
sion to keep them busy, the Washington
correspondents have turned their atten-
ton to the philanthroptc work OF recon-
structing President McKinley's cabinet
for him. Doubtless the President thor
oughly appreciates the numerous fore
casts of his action in the event of Judge
McKenna going on the bench, but the
forecasts are so varied and different in

tai seem to be having their troubled for

II is now announced that Mrs. Langtry
was not heartless in her behavior toward
her late husband as he lay dying in an
insane asylum. 1t Is said that she sent
assistance too him and did all in her
power to make his last days comfortable.
Notwithstanding she had an American
divorce from him and was engaged to be
married to her latest lover. Further
more, she sent flowers to his funeral.
This IS much more to her credit than the

The campaign in New ork city seems to
have settled down to fight between
bosses, with abuse as the weapons. The
columns of the papers OF the metropolis
Just now are entirely given over to the
work of besmirchlng the characters of
opposing candidates, and men are fnd-
ting out things about themselves that
they never knew before. 1t Is all very
entertaining to outsiders. who are begin
ming to wonder If New York really con-
tains any honest men outside Of the edl-
torial sanctums OF the city.
