CRAWFISFilNG.

That peculiar crustacean, 6amboyuS
a67niS, is not a fish, neither is it a
true crab. It's habitat very rarely pro-
duces anything else of value. When a
stranger, friend or foe, is encountered,
it rises to its full height, glares at the
intruder and then retreats in good
order. 1t always keeps its rear to the
'front.' There are alleged statesman
similarly constituted. Unfortunately
there are. certain of them in the West
Virginia Legislature and they are not
all Democrats.
The crawfish gets its title, 0am60'us
a67nis from the fact that the holes it
bores are always or never finished.
It's prototype is always anxious to do
something when the State would be
much better off if he did nothing His
work is invariably nearer completion
before he begins than after he has
finished it.
The criminal charges bill recently,
not now, before the Legislature has
been killed by the mollusks which
are temporarily inhabiting a portion
of the State Capitol They have also
succeeded in preventing the names OF
their constituents, delinquent taxpay-
ers, from appearing in print. Now
let the whole shooting match"
proceed to business and hide from
sight by crawling into their holes.
They will not be missed andthe news
papers of the State must see to it
they never again appear in public.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

mo charter or incorporation shall
be granted to any church or to re-
ligious denominations, but societies
may be incorporated for missionary
purposes. Provision may be made by
general laws for securing the title to
church property, and for the sale and
transfer thereof, so that it shall be
held, used, or transferred for the pur-
pose of such church or religious de-
nomination is the way which sec
ton forty-seven of article six OF the
Constition reads, as amended in the
house.
Mr.. Hanen's bill No. 27o passed
the House last Thursday. 1t applies
to outraging and Kidnapping and in
Aicts a penalty of death or punish
ment in the penitentiary according
to the nature of the charge.
Hunters must be careful in the
future where and how they shoot as
Mr.. Morriston's bin prohibiting the
shooting, hunting, ranging, fishing or
fowling within the enclosed land OF
another person without permission
from the owner was passed. The Of
fender is compelled to forfeit three
dollars for each offence committed.
The provision shall apply to the unen-
closed lands of any district of any
county. The purpose of the bill is to
prevent the ruthless destruction OF
game in the wild lands OF the State,
Both houses Of the legislature were
called to order Tuesday morning as
usual, but as there was no quorum
present in either house, they both
adjourned till Wednesday. The steam
heating apparatus being under water,
the legislative halls were too cold for
comfort and it would have been i'm
possible for either house to do bust
ness II there had been a quorum
The situation was such that the
businesso the legislature was serious
ly interfered with, which fact is I'M
fortunate, considering the near APP
proach Of the end of Unconstitutional
session. 1t is possible that an extern
sion of the session for two or three
days may be necessary on account OF
the food, but there are hopes that this
may be avoided.
The Military Bill that has been be
fore both Houses for many days,
came up for final passage in the Sen
ate Wednesday and received but two
dissenting votes, viz: Farr and
Davies. There were nineteen Sena-
tors present when the roll was called.
The Governors assent is eagerly
looked forward to, and it is believed
that he will append his signature
without delay.

Literary Notes.

The Forum for March contains a
dozen timely and important articles,
among which are the Arbitration
Treaty, discussed by two competent
authorities-the Hon. Frederic r.
Coudert, the eminent international
lawyer and ex-member of the Behring
Sea Arbitration Commission. and
Theodore S. Woolsey, professor Of
international law at Yale. Each has
few criticisms to make, but both
agree in declaring the treaty to be a
considerable step toward a better
order of things. Mr. William Allen
White. editor of the Emporia (Kans.
Gazette, whose recent article What $
the Matter with Kansas" attracted
wide attention, contributes striking
paper on "The Present and Future OF
Kansas"

And There are Others, Too.

Fairmont West irginia.
There will soon be a nice, Juicy
plum for some good Republican down
at Morgantown. We have reference
to the Dictatorship OF the Experiment
Station The position pays S., 900
per year. 1t is filled by the Board of
Regents of the University. DR. John
A. Myers is the present Director.
He is Democrat, and will of course
have to give up the job. 1t is not a
hard one to fill. Farmers are plenti-
full who are qualified for it, The
change will probably not be made be-
fore the first of June, VIII II the Board
OF Regents will be Republican if the
lawmakers in session at Charleston
do their duty. Other changes can
and will be made in and about the
University that will be beneficial to
that institution. We do not want to
see politician at its head, as was
the case in the days when Gen. Will
liam l., Wilson and DR.. +. M. Turner
presided, but an educator of promi-
nence of the Republican faith would
look well in the place of DR.. Good
knight. He should soon be hidden
good morning and sent back to Greene
county.

The Mckinley wave of prosperity
has struck Martinsburg. The big
wagon plant of that city has gone in
to the hands of a receiver. Liabilities,
SI2o, 600; assets, sos, 900. Peyton r.
Harrison is appointed receiver. Pros
perity is coming in chunks
cate, Charles Town.
The malady which afflicted the
wagon plant was not contracted here
nor did it occur since Mckinley was
elected. Democratic free trade was
the disease which induced the APP
pointment of receiver That and
that alone caused the liabilities to ex.
coed the assets and it is in very bad
form for so ardent an advocate of free
trade to,reioice and shout for joy over
the failure.

mon partisan control of the Uni
versity'' is the sweet morsel which
Popocratic newspapers slobber over.
There was no non-partisan control of
anything until Republican Legis-
lature was chosen and then there was
a Democratic majority on all boards
Whether FIVE Democrats to four Re-
publicans or FIVE Republicans to four
Democrats is non partisan depends
entirely upon the political bias of the
individual. Hereafter they will be
mon partisan" with a Republican
majority.

Wen Put Republicans on Guard.

Democratic newspapers are bowling
until their threats are sore. They
declare that lone of the things the
Legislature is determined to do is to
take every public institution in the
State entirely out of the hands of the
Democratic.
Poor, dear unsophisticated Demo-
Gratis, what are we here for if not to
take charge of the State institutional
Did not the people commission Re-
publicans to do so2 Did not the
Democrats take charge when they
got control of the State2 OF course
they did and not Republican in the
State objected. The presumption in
this country is that the majority rules.
Yes, we propose to put Republicans
on guard and our friends need not
forget it.

Unfortunately for Scham. the king took 10

the servants of the place. At length he
was got rid of, and passed into the pos

cruelty and hard usage brought the noble
animal to deaths door, humane English
