CHARIEsroN, Feb. 4th, 1891.

CHARLESTON, Feb.4th, 1897.
Governor MacCorkle has vetoed
the Moundsville Charter Act. The
reasons stated by the Governor for
the veto were that the bill amend
ing the charter made it lawful for
the city sergeant to succeed him
self, which was contrary to the
spirit of the laws and customs in
this State. The bill also provided
for an increase of the salary of the
city sergeant, which the Governor
believed was not the wish of the
people of Moundsy1lle. An effort
was made to pass the bill over his
veto, but it failed, and the Gov
ernor was sustained.
The question that seems to- be
troubling the majority members
of the Legislature above every
thing else. is that of revising the
constitution of the State. AS it
now stands they can scarcely J make
any move in the matter with
out the votes of the minority
members. Whenit comes topass-
ing bills, they have easy and plain
sailing, as they have safe work

they can NOT pass Joint resolu=

1t seems more than probable
that unless the Legislature takes
immediate action the disbandment
of the West Virginia National
Guard must follow as matter OF
course. In the first place an ap
preparation of s15,o 600 is necessary,
and then some disciplinary laws
are urgently needed, as well as an
other which shall enforce the pay
ment of fines. As at present con
Quoted il is a case of Jack being as
good as his muster. The officers
seem to have no more authority
than the men, and the courts have
held that fines imposed cannot be
collected. Either we eswant the Natl

Insanity was the subject of VAL

last evening. The speaker commenced
with an enumeration of the varied types
of insanity, giving illustrations of many
of them from cases arising in his own
experiences. The latter part of the lee
ture was taken up with pertinent sug-
gestions as to the prevention of insan-
ity. Refraining from alcohol, tobacco
and narcotics and from irregularity in
eating and sleeping were recommended.
Moderate outdoor exercise daily and an
annual vacation were recommended
After the lecture many questions were
asked by the audience and evoked many
interesting statements from the lectur-
er, to whom was extended hearty vote
of thanks.
