Huntington, w. Va, July PA
prominent travelling man who arrived
here this evening from a tour along
the Norfolk & Western reports a seri-

Said he: There are four times as
many miners out up that way as are

tempting to suppress this fact as far
as possible. and all telegraph opera
tors have instructions to send nothing
out over the wire regarding the true
situation of affairs under penalty of

This statement is given credence
here, as it is rumOred that by the early
part OF next week a serious state Of,

weeks past In anticipation of the as
sembling Of Congress, number OF news
papers, mostly Mugwump," have been
ulterlng groans and predicting disaster
because OF the fear that Congress isn't
equal 10 It's responsibilities, and quotes
the following from the Philadelphia Tel
agraph as a mild example of this style
of calamity walllng;
But t. Is not alone anxiety respecting
legitimate and required action by Con-
gress that causes perturbation OF the pub
lie mind, 1t Is positive apprehension OF
'eYil designs carried to contamination by
corrupt methods, and OF incompetent blunI
derlngs that are worse than crimes.
The Intelllgencer agrees witch the Post
that this Is an outrageous Islander Of the
American people themselves, and Of their
institutions, The people of the United
States have no such lack of confidence In
their agents, There are differences of
opinion among congressman regarding
matters bearing on public policy, and as
to what Is best for the public welfare
but each represents a constituency whose
Views he reflects, and when he Is charged
with evil motives by these pessimistic,
or we should say, dyspeptie critics. the
charge is indirectly against that constit-
uency.
\ The following is quoted as another
sample of this style OF comment;
1t has come to pass that the meeting
of Congress Is a blight upon the country,
We look forward TO the assembling of our
legislators In Washington With dread, and
we endure their presence there at best
with fearful hopes that their proceedings
may not be so disastrous AZ we have rea-
son to apprehend. The time has been
when to represent worthy constituency
was really an honor. and the assumed
title OF Hon" had some vital significance.
II Is plain to be seen now, however, that
II the session OF Congress continues to be
regarded as bllghting misfortune mem
bership In that body will become crying
shame and disgrace.
This is downright falsehood from start
"a finish. II Is not true of any Congress
that has ever assembled, either In the
early days OF the republic or In the In
mediate past or present, Such express
siens are unworthy OF an American
newspaper, for there is no justification
for them. They are only worthy of notice
as afrordins an Illustration of sort of
vituperatlve insanity that prevails
among a certain class of newspapers
that seem to be happiest when they are
tiiserediting American institutions,
Our Washington contemporary Is right
when 1t says that their habit is bad in
morals and worse as to patriotism. So
far as their influence extends, 1t gives the
young and inexperienced a false and in
furious Impression as TO the. results of
popular government TO the foreign
monarchcal critics of our great exprt-
men: these American condemnatIons OF
the capacity of the people to rule them
selves are always acceptable" This Is
a sensible characterization of the habit
and It's effect A better appreciation Of
the popular branch Of the government
and fairer consideration is needed in GER
tain journalistic circles.
