TRVE TO THE MOTTO.

According 10 the Charleston Gazette
West Virginia IS paying the penalty OF
Republican domination in that State
with a vengeance-the penalty being in
the form of reckless extravaganza. Inc
Democratic policy, says the Gazette OF
economy in the expenditure OF pubic
funds. rigidy maintained during its con-
troll of State affairs for nearly a quarter
of a century. is sought to be superseded
by the Republicans now in power by
systematic and persistent looting OF the
State treasury.
our Charleston contemporary then de-"
clares that before the State executive-ofi-
GERS were fairly settled in their seats, the
Republican managers, through the Legis-
lature. made an indecent rush on the
Treasury for the purpose of rewarding
Tom. Dick, and Harry for party services
rendered during the campaign Of 1886.
Now the Republican managers and the
numerous employees of the Legislature
are urging the calling OF that body In
extra session to pass on the constitutional
amendments proposed by the Constitu-
tional Amendment Committee. These
amendments. says the Gazette. are num-
erous. but for the most part inconse-
ouential, the ones considered Of prime
importance being such as would raise
the salaries of officers, create new offices,
and increase the expenses Of the State
Government The Gazette is evidently
disguised with Republican administra-
ton in West Virginia generally, and the
amendment to the Constitution scheme In
particular, but what other experience
could II have anticipated? The West
Virginia Republicans have simply shown
themselves true to the three motto
of the National Republican party-Pa-
triots for Public Plumber.

To the Editor of the New York Sun

To the Editor Of the New York Sun:
Your correspondent, "Southerner,
writing September 3D. is mistaken when
he says, Nowhere in the South, particu-
larry at the time of the war, did any
southerners Of any class use the broad
"a in such words as half, can't, etc"
In Virginia. at the time referred 10, the
broad "a" pronunciation was very COM
mon in such words az half and calf,
but the "a in can't was sounded as in
ask. / should like to hear from some Of
your Virginia readers on this subject
l agree with your correspondent in
other matters. The long sc" in hear
with a screeching roll Of the r." IS
peculiar to the North and West.
My observation Is that all over the
North the short sound of 90 in such
words as on and dog, has been changed
to the sound of "a" in far.
Selma. Ala. ALABAMA.
Alabama" is right. Thousands of
persons in Virginia at the time of the
war used the broad a. and not few
do so to this day. Especially is this
true Of the people of Tidewater Virginia.

a good Offset to the mysterious circular
In which the gold Democrats are advised

SO far as the gold Democrats OF Rich

of them will follow the course suggested
by Colonel Cameron than will follow
that suggested in the circular aforesaid.

NEEDS SITTING UPON.

The Austrian Consul-General at New
York has formulated claims Of indemnity
for the killing of the Hungarian miners
AT Latimer in the outbreak of last week,
and has retained lawyers TO prosecute
these claims against the United States
Government The Austrian Consul-Gene-
raj at New York is not only too previous
I'm this matter, but Extensively so. There
is no warrant for such proceeding The
case is one in which no outsider has
right to interfere. This contention holds
whether the Sheriff's deputies acted too
hastily or not. The miners refused to
obey the Sheriff's proclamation, to THAI
extent dehed the power of sovereign
State. and were killed by the State act
ing in it's sovereign capacity. The case
In no way resembles that of the Italians
who were killed by New Orleans mob,
and about which, by the way, Mr. Blaine
was too previous, or that of the Chinese
who were slaughtered in a western State.
The Austrian Consul-General needs sit
ting upon, and so does his government.
If his government is behind him in this
movement.
