ton of Mr.. Kenna. Mr.. Dorr return
ed home after the adjournment of the
Legislature. Joined the Republican
party and went to Specializing in wild
lands. He was successful in his bust

enough to enable him to run for Con-

OUTGENERAL AND DEFEAT
the allied forces arrayed against him,
he can surely repeat the performance
IN 1898, with his experience and pres
tige OF victory to aid him. But the
fact is, the allied forces which fought
Mr.. Dorr in 1896 were neither armed
nor organized. 1t is different now.
Since their rout at the Montgomery
convention they have taken an in
ventory OF their resources and meas
ured their strength. By figures which
cannot lie they find that they can an
initiate Dorr. They may find it nee
essary to ask General Rucker to re-
sign the attorney generalship or Mr..
Gaines to resign the United States dis
trict attorneyship to take the field
against Dorr, and if they do, either Of
these gentlemen will, without hesita-
ton, respond to the call of duty to
save their faction of the party from
an ignOminous defeat at the hands of
the Ismaelite. The Republican party
in Kanawha will be split wide open,
the Hog Combine championing Dorr,
and the alleged decent set, led by
Huling, Dana, Buttrick, Gaines and
the rest opposing him. There is an
other faction Differed by Phil Rus
sell, Henry Dilcher and others, with
strong following. who, having been
deceived by the Huling crowd and
euchred by the Hog Combine, will
likely cast their lot with the Demo-
Gratis and fight whichever Republican,
faction that may be victor in the
Congressional convention.
There is plenty of fun ahead for the
Republicans of the Third district, and
within a short time it will be opened
up in magnificent style.

DINGLEYISM BREEDS ANOTHER
TRUST

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
1t is reported that the wire industry
of this country is now consolidated.
Each owner of a wire mill has agreed
to sell it's property at figure in ac-
cord with the opinion of appraisers.
The capital stock of the country is
placed at S50,000,000 and it is, reported
that s35 100000 has already been paid
in This will be one Of the greatest Of
the trusts made possible by the Dingley
bill. No trust yet formed is better cir
cumstanced for carrying out such pol
icy than the wire trust will be when
fully organized. It's absolute control Of
the well equipped existing plants and
the enormous capital at its back will
make competition at home hopeless.
Foreign competition is guarded against
by the tariff, which prevents the posi-
bility of importing without heavy loss.
PRINT THE PENSION ROLL.
Washington Post.
There is a very general demand for
the publication Of the pension list. 1t
is called for by those newspapers which
represent that overwhelming majority
of the people who believe that the pen
sion list as it stands is, a roll of honor.
1t is called for also by journals repre-
senting the minority, who hold that the
lists are tainted with fraud from end to
end 1t is called for by the former be-
cause they think that the publication
Of the list, with residences and services,
as the government has done in the case
of the pensioners of the revolution and
the war of 1912, would enable the people
to give honor where honor is due. The
latter cali for it on the ground that
il would expose frauds and humbugs,
and thereby facilitate purgation.
BRIBERY TREATED TOO LENIENT-
Baltimore News.
The only way election bribery will
ever be stopped is through the treat
ment Of it as a fuIl-hedged crime, and
not as thing to be winked at. So
long as the jail and the penitentiary
do not distinctly stare the briber and
bribed in the face both parties will
carry it on. and it will be condoned in
both as a measure of self-defense If
civilized society had treated killing in
the same way as We now treat bribery
we should all be still carrying our lives
in our hands, each man being law I'M
to himself.
NO CAUSE FOR FEAR EXISTS.
New York Times
Why not believe in peace and pros
perity as our immediate manifest des-
tiny? Business has a straight road and
a clear one before it. There is no peril
in sight, not cloud on the horizon
The ghost stories and specters Of Wall
street will harm only those who are
silly enough to believe in them. The
bugaboo of Congress as a menace to
business is an ancient, muaty invention
OF the faint-hearted. All the ghosts
are laid. Il is time to quit shaking and
get to work.

OIL KINGS DENYING LAWS.

Indianapolis News.
As nearly as we can make out, the
impudent Standard Oh Company and
the other oil operators think they have
vested right to exhaust the gas of the
State as eXpeditiousIy and as ruinously
as possible. They defy everybody and
everything, it is said Perhaps it 10 not
surprising. The Standard Oil Company
has had it's own way 50 long, buying,
bulldozing and corrupting. that it nat
urally thinks laws are only made for it
TO break or to defy or to circumvent.
1t suits its purpose to waste the most
precious Sits of nature to this common
