BUNGLING LEGISLATION.
Some More Specimens OF the Careless
ness OF the Legislators.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, April g.
Another error has been discovered
relating to the Home tor Incurables,
it having been understood that in
addition to the $1,000 appropriated
in the bill establishing the home
that $4,000 was also placed in the
general appropriation bill, making
$4,000 in all, but such is not the
case. The Legislature at it's recent
session provided that each public in
stitution of the State should order
and pay for out of its own funds all
the printing and stationery to be
used by said institution, but it was
the opinion of many that it was in
tended that the stationery should be
supplied by the contractor who took
the contract last December for two
years from the second Wednesday
in last January to supply all papers
and stationery for the use of the
State for that period, and that the
printing would be done by the pub
lie printer, but Attorney General
Rucker, to whom the question was
recently submitted by the commits
sioners Of public printing, composed
of the auditor, treasurer and State
superintendent of free schools, has
decided that these several institu.
tions have the right to purchase
materials and have printing from
and by any one whom they may see
fit to contract with, and that these
matters will not come under the con-
tracts made in December, thus tax
ing out of the hands of these CON
tractors very large share Of the
work and material for which they
contracted.

The Reno Coal Company.

The development of the coal and
oil fields of Reno district is still
hanging fire, although there is every
assurance that it will go with a rnsh
before long. We hope this is true
for we are informed that some of the
leases are expiring and if the sale is
not made soon, much of the work
will have to be done over again. Mr..
Sliney was up in there recently again
and had some prominent operators
with him, but they have gone back
and everyone is anxiously waiting
on Sliney's return from New York
with the money to take up the leases.
A company has been formed and a
charter issued by the Secretary OF
State some time since. The incor.
porators were DIR. ID. HI. Courtney,
Senator R. E. Fast, Joseph H. Nc
Dermott, r. r. Chrissman and John
Sliney, all of Monongalia county,
except the last named, who is from
Pennsylvania. The name incorporated
is the "Reno Coal, Oil, Gas, Develop
ment and Construction Company
and the papers are recorded in the
Clerks Office at Morgantown. just
why the matter is ON record over
there instead of here is what in
terest these parties have n connec-
ton with Mr.. Sliney, is aimatter of

University Notes.


Again we enter upon another term
of school-the last, the shortest term
of the year. Spring, though so at
tractive and extending such a glad
some invitation to its inhabitants
the field, the river, the woods yet
not EN- unopportune season for the
pursuit OF study; for while it may
frequently call the student away
from books and lessons, yet the ben
eft to the physical nature derived
from its enjoyment-health-g giving,
inspiring-fully compensates for
any task of persistence in the prose
cution of book study.
c. S. Stathers '95 has re-entered
school to take extra work in cngi-
neering.
Student Stidger has returned to
the University after an absenceo I
three years and expects to complete
his freshman work in civil engineer
ing this year.
Most of the boys that went home
before examinations have recovered
and have returned to school.
Several new students have en-
rolled, and the grinding of the Prep
mill is plainly audible as the new
material comes in contact with the
buhr-stones. Take courage, boys,
others have been there before you
The artillery section has been di-
vided up among the companies and
battalion drill is now the order OF
the day.
The ball game, Friday, gave evil
dence of the fact that we have the
nucleus of good team in the Uni
versity. All that is needed is per-
sistent practice.

McCutcheon Called.

After being without regular pas
tor for some time the Baptist church
has extended call to Rev. J. L. Nc
Cutcheon, of Wheeling. Mr.. Nc
Cutcheon will consider the matter for
some time before giving his decision,
but it is expected that he will accept.
He will enter into the discharge of
his duties about June 1st.
He was for several years a student
at the University leaving it before his
graduation and entering Rochester
University where he graduated. Then
he took the course in Rochester Theo-
logical Seminary. BY education he
is well fitted for his calling and his
natural abilities are very great. Nor
gantown has gained great prize in
him and bids him welcome most hear
tily. He has been very successful in
Wheeling and his coming means much
to the chnrch here.
Work on the building will be begun
at once and it will be partly finished
on Rev. McCutcheon's arrival. The
money is now available for this, and
it is the intention of persons inter
ested to push matters to a conclusion
as rapidly as possible. In this they
have the support and appreciation Of
the churches of the town, and we earn
estly hope that their plans may meet
with the greatest possible success.

The law relating to the appoint
mcnt Of the various state boards is
very plain. 1t stipulates that no
more than a certain exact number
shall be members Of any party and
that the minority shall belong TO the
opposing party. A board recently
named by Governor Atkinson con-
tains nine men. Eight Of them voted
exactly the same ticket Gov. At
kinson knows this. He also knows
that in these appointments he VIC
lated not only the spirit Of the law
but the letter Of the law also. We
have no fault to find with the gen.
tlemen chosen but We do most heart
lily object to having the law thus
tramplcd under foot. We had better
not have such Law II It II to lead
10 such hypocrisy. The whole mat:

serted that its representatives in the
House are just tell your informant
that they refused last week to pass
the following introduced by Demo

Provided, "That when it is shown
to the satisfaction of the Secretary
of the Treasury that such articles
as are manufactured, controlled or

ST. LOUIS, April 3.-A special to
to the Post Dispatch from Green
vile, Miss, says:
Ten thousand people are homeless
in the flood districts. Three hun
bred towns and cities are submerged
and desolation reigns over this love
" valley. A dismal waste of water
now covers the surrounding country
on every side of Greenville and the
city is to-day desolate island con-
nected with the outside world with
one slender thread, a telegraph line
running east from here to Winona.
Water from the Mound crevasse
is within half mile of the city on
the north. From the Lake crevasse
it is one mile south and eastward,
Black Bayou, Deer Creek and Fish
Lake are all out of their banks and
rapidly filling up the entire country.
Railroad communication is cut off
north and south. Tracks of the Val
ley road and Southern are washed
away in places for distance of two
hundred yards.
Rosedale, Gunnison, Bolivar,
Huntington, Mound and hundred
other prosperous towns north OF
here, are drowned out complete
ly. Arcola, Hollandale, Wayside,
Swift Water, Stoneville snd Leland,
South and West, together with a
score or more of smaller hamlets, are
in the, same condition.
Reports coming in here hourly
from all points in the flood district
show the situation is rapidly grow
Ing worse.
Greenville will get considerable
water, pherhaps not as much as in
1890, perhaps more. 1t is all mat
ter of conjecture. The bottom lands
are full of water from rains before
the breaks occurred.
A meeting of the city council il
being held at this writing at the
Mayors Office to take necessary
steps toward the safety Of the peo-
pie and for such relief as can be at.
forded to the flood sufferers.

ror NEEDED.


OF course everyone about Morgan
town knows that the Seneca Glass
Company which recently moved here
from Fostoria, Ohio, is the largest
manufacturer Of its particular line
in the country Its opinions con-
sequently are entitled to great weight
when given about anything connected
with the business. 1t employs about
$50 hands and its pay roll amounts
to more than $780, 900 per year.
Mr.. Frank Banister is the mana
ger of the company. He was recently
asked about the effect which the in
crease Of duties made by the Dingley
bill would have on his manufactured
product and made the following
statement:
1.-THE increase Of duty is not de-
manded by manufacturers of our
class of goods. When the Wilson
bill reduced the duty from As to %
per cent. it did not injure US in the
least, and by selling at a reduction
we were able to vastly increase our
sales. The truth is, that if all the
duty were to be taken off we could
still undersell foreign manufacturers,
Cheap fuel has made this result pos
sible. Within the past few years
glass manufacturers have gone to
natural gas territory and the use Of
gas has greatly lessened the cost OF
production"
Mr.. Bannister is staunch Re-
publican as are the rest of the off
Gals OF the company but he is a
frank, outspoken man. 1t will be
readily seen that he does not believe
that an extra tax ON the people will
help him in his business or urge
along the return of prosperity to any
great extent. Even with the duty
off he could still undersell foreign
competition but the American laborer
must be protected. Its all stuff.

The Wayne News, of which the
Hon. w. L. Mansfield, member of the
last Legislature, is editor and propri-
etor, has the following to say regard
constitutional revision
In our opinion the most important
changes needed in the organic law
of the state are:
First. To provide for thorough
and efficient registration of voters
and stop so much corruption in the
elections.
Second. Redistrict the state for
Circuit Judges that the inefficient
and expensive criminal courts may
be abolished.
Third. Pay officers, both state and
county, fixed salaries and provide
that all fees be recovered into the
State and county treasures.
Fourth. Pay members of the Leg
islature fixed salary and limit the
session of the Legislature only to
not less than sixty days.
Fifth. Increase the salary of the
judges OF the Supreme Courts of APP
peals in order to secure the best ma
terial for the court of last resort.
Sixth. Abolish the irreduciblc
school fund and provide that the
present fund be distributed to the
counties per capita in stated amounts
each year just as the distributed
until the same exhausted, and to be
used in no other way and for no pur-
pose except to pay teachers and re-
lieve the people to that extent Of
the burden of district levies.
There are perhaps a few other
changes that are desirable, but the
above appears to be the most impor-
tant ones.

An Old Man Discovered.

FArRMoNT, w. Va, April 3--Dur-
ing the removal of the county clerk s
office this week, Clerk Manley came
across a bundle of old maps which
had not been handled for years. In
this bundle was an old map of
Marion county. The map seems
complete except the outer lines OF
Winfield district are left eff. This
map will be Of great value when a
new survey is made in order to
ascertain the true area of the county.

IMPORTANT If TRUE.
Another Change in the school Law

Another Change In the school Law.
The late legislature male one i'm
portant change in the school law.
Prior to this the law fixed the term
of school in each district at not less
than fivesmonths, but the board of
education could only lay the levy
for school purposes after a vote had
been taken on the power to levy.
This feature of the law is changed.
1t requires no vote to levy for five
months school. The law gives the
board the power to lay the levy. 1t
requires vote to give the board
power to levy for longer term than
five months. The old law did not
comport with that injunction of the
constitution which says that 'sthe
Legislature shall provide thorough
and efficient free school system"
A system that could be defeated
every two years by vote of the peo-
pie could not be called thorough
and efficient system"

Salmagundi.

There are five hundred different
styles of women's hats this Spring
SO the milliners say but they all look
alike to a horrid man.
The woman's suffrage society is
not likely to prove popular with the
ladies of town. You have to keep
everything you know about it to
yourself and some of the men have
been SO mean that they wont ask to
be told all about it.
The series Of meetings conducted by
Revs. White and Doyle have closed,
after having accomplished considera-
BILE good. The meetings were very well
attended throughout, and the church
was greatly refreshed and strengthen
ed by the able and fervent sermons Of
these earnest pastors. = Clarksburg
Telegram.
Your uncle Jim Davis is a peace
able man. Slow to anger and quick
to forgive But his patience has at
last been exhausted. From time
when the knowledge of man runneth
not to the contrary students have
roasted on his fence. The fence has
always been sunk in, in consequence
Warnings, prayers and threats have
not availed anything. But scheme
has been hit upon that will cause
the wicked to cease from troubling.
A liberal quantity of grease has
been applied to the fence and will
quietly and effective work reforma-
tion which force was not able to ac-
complish. You can't hire one of the
boys to sit on the fence now and
much Jim laughs everytime he
thinks of the scheme and pats him
self approvingly on the back.
The woman who remained of the
same opinion still must have been
deaf and dumb.
Sunday night one of the young
men well known about town was
busily engaged in telling his girl
good bye. He thought he heard the
firm, determined tread of the old
man. As he had no desire to feel the
aforesaid firm and determined he
broke away. Just the earthquake
came. 1t was the dynamine in the
Academy but the loving swain
thought it was a hint from her pa
that it was time to go. The fright
scared him almost to death and
when he recovered his senses he was
lying out in the yard and all was
quiet along the Potomac. Hereafter
he will begin to tell the girl good
bye when he leaves the church and
will not go closer than the front gate.
One application, one cure.
Corporations have no souls and
even the slightest connection with
these modern monsters frequently
gives a man an exalted opinion OF
himself. This causes him to act in
a very arbitrary and high handed
manner. A case in point came to
my notice not long ago. A man was
walking along a railroad track and
discovered very dangerous slip on
it. A train was almost due He
ran forward and tagged it. 1t was
a fast passenger and had large
number of persons on board. After
the train officials had determined to
retrace their course the rescuer got
on board to ride little more than a
mile. The conductor asked for his
fare and on being refused pay stop
ped the train and put the hero of
ordering him to walk. These facts
are sufficient commentary on the
affair.

The Wheeling and Lake Erie rail-
road was extremely busy last summer
bull-dozing its men to vote for Nc
Kinley and prosperity and was one of
the chief helpers in the large crowds
of Canton tourists. Now it is in very
Dad financial straits. This is very
gratifying to all who deprecate the
growing and dangerous attitude of
corporations in our elections.

A Bad Bill.

Congressman Dalzell has intro
duced a bill into Congress which will
if passed seriously cripple the inter
ests of this valley. 1t provides that
no bridge shall be built over the
river having a span of less than 800
feet. AS the channel is usually very
much less than this and as the rail
road interests are vastly more i'm
portant than those of the river it
will be seen that the provisions are
unjust and uncalled for. 1t will re-
tard the railroad development of
this section for many years and re-
suit in incalculable loss. The larg-
est bridges in the country to-day
are no larger than these would have
to be made. There is every prospect
that the bill will deservedly fail of
passage.
