Silver certificates, which form near

of the United States, are dangerous

The enormous amount of 1000, 000

silver certificates, added to the $780,
100000 purchased by the government
under the Sherman act, constitutes a
standing menace to every business in

present currency system are:
'1. Confusing heterogenity which
needs simplification.

CHAR1EsroN. Jan. a1. 1a97.

In reply to a correspondent we
have to say that with our limited
space it is entirely out of the ques-
ton to give the names of the bills
introduced into the Legislature
this session. Besides, that would
be giving to nine-tenths of them a
prominence and distinction they
do not merit, and are in no other
manner likely to attain.
To our mind there is much to be
commended in, and nothing to be
said against the bill which has been
introduced into the Legislature
providing for the taxation of sleep
ing cars doing business in this
State.
So far as our observation goes
there seems an organized determin-
alton to kill every bill which is in
troduced into the House by a Dem
ocrt, and yet if that measure has
anything to recommend its provis-
ions are adopted in another bill, al
most identical, introduced by a
Republican SO that he may win the
laurel of appreciation.
Tomorrow is the day selected
by Gov. MacCorkle for the receipt
ion to be given by him in honor of
the incoming Governor and the
members of the Legislature at
Charleston.
sGov. acCorkle having said that
there is a surplus in the treasury of
West Virginia, the Legislature has
appointed Commission to get at

CHARLEsToN, Jan. 30, 289l


The Charleston Mail, rabid
ssHog Combine Republican news
paper, came out this morning bit
terly assailing Hon. w. w. Jack
son, of Mason, because he made a
speech in support of the bill to re-
peal the law providing for the pub
location of the personal property
delinquent taxpayers. The Mail
may have cause to complain, be-
cause it would take from them over
1920 of patronage it has been re-
ceiving at the hands of the Sheriff
of Kanawha county. No honest
newspaper would oppose the re-
peal of this law, which is robbing
the taxpayers in every county in
the State of from $500 to $500 a
year. 1t was passed by Republi-
cans to help along sickly Republi-
can papers in this State, which
would have died, had it not been
for this law putting from $500 to
$500 in their pockets every year.
Good liberal advertising laws is
what the State needs to take the
place of barn-door posting of sales
and other notices of great interest
to the public. But no fair, honest,
well meaning newspaper, would for
a moment give its support or justi-
fly such theft of the county treas
uries, as this publication of the
personal property taxpayers, de-
linquent does. We heartily en-
dorse, and we know the Register
will, the manly stand taken by
Hon. w. w. jackson, of Mason,
to repeal this unnecessary and ex-
pensive law, that does not bring a
cent return to the county or State,
and the people will endorse his eff
forts to relieve them from bur-
den also. The law should be re-
pealed without hesitation. 1t
should never have been passed.
The Legislative ball tonight
will be grand affair, if the negro
delegate from Fayette is kept in
the background. The leaders of
the Republican party are now con-
irving plans to keep the negro out,
: but just how to approach him with
out offending him, is the trouble.
IF he stubbornly persists in at
tending, very few white people will
attend. Republicans are as bitter
in drawing the color line as are the
Democrats. We will let you know
the result in our next issue.
LATER.
Since writing our letter yester-
day, we learned that the committee
in charge of the invitations to the
Legislative ball, refused to recog-
nize the negro delegate, and failed
to send him an invitation. This
made all the Republican members
of both Houses mad, and they de-
clared they would not attend the
ball, not one of them. If they
want to associate and fraternize
with negroes, the Ball Committee
have no objections. But the truth
is many Republicans, who have no
use for negroes but for their votes,
were all the time planning with the
Committee to keep the negro dele
gate from getting an invitation, and
they have succeeded to the great
delight of many of the Republican
members who will attend the Leg
islative ball tonight, and no negro
will be there to mar their pleas
