SENATOR ELKINs, SPEECH.

The event of the week in Congress
sional circles was the unanswerable
argument of Senator Stephen b. FL
kins in favor of American shipping.
His speech was more than an argu-
ment; it was grouping of facts and
figures, exhaustive and convinc-
ing-a presentation of the reasons
why, strong as we are Nation, with
unlimited resources, our merchant
marine scarcely equals that of third
rate power.
After showing how the Nation
prospered during the first thirty
years Of its existence, during which
time the law imposing discriminating
duties was in force, he pictured the
decline which followed the repeal of
that law.
His conclusion was full Of patriotic
zeal and fervor and was as follows
Mr.. President, have tried in what
! have said to present the cause Of
American shipping to the Senate and
to the country, and make this appeal
in its behalf. If / do nothing more
than draw attention to the facts and
help to add to the interest already
aroused in this great subject, / will
feel amply rewarded for whatever l
baua Jc1a or NAV 40 ba,aoftar II o,x,
plan better than the enc proposed here
can be suggested, / will accept it,
though it must be insisted, Mr.. Presi-
dent, that the policy OF discriminating
duties sanctioned by the founders of
our government and tried for more
than thirty years, with the best re-
suits, has again received the approval
Of the people in the last national cleo
ton, and should at least have another
trial at the hands of Congress.
THE revival of American shipping
so long neglected, is not the cause OF
any party nor OF any particular inter
est it belongs to no section; it con-
Germs the whole country, its future
prosperity, and welfare; it has become
thecauseof7o, 600, 900 ofpeople; hence
forth they will take care of it; in their
keeping it will no longer anguish; it
will not die.
II feel, Mr.. President, sooner or lat
err, the patriotic cause of upbuilding
American shipping will triumph, and
Americans will enjoy and use their
common share in the oceans of the
world and have their part in its car
rying trade; that the time is not dis
tant when the American flag will be
seen on every sea and float from ves-
sells of the United States in all the
ports of the earth, and American mer-
chants, business men, and bankers will
be established and doing remunerative
business in all the commercial centers
of the world. In laboring to secure
for our common country these splendid
achievements and great blessings,
craftsmanship can have no higher
aim, patriotism no loftier purpose, and
the benedictions of grateful people
will descend on those who may help
in this great movement.

Girls Industrial School.

Quite a contest is going on among
the towns of this State over the Sc.
curing of the Industrial School foi
Girls, as provided by the Legislature.
Martinsburg, through the generos-
ity of Mr.. James NJ. Van Metre was
the first to make an offer, and he is
not only ready to fulfill the PROPOSE
tion made, but will do more. The
argument against Martinsburg is its
remoteness from the center OF the
State. Grafton, Clarksburg, Par
kersburg, and Fairmont have also
made offers for sites but none Of them
equal Mr.. Van Metres 1t will pay
our people to push the fight. The
regents have not been appointed.

NESBlTT.

Under the above title the Wheeling
Intelligencer exhibits one sample of
the rare beauties of Civil Service"
as expounded and ordained by the
Cleveland administration. There are
other cases fully as fragrant.
The Intelligencer says:
"Nesbitt is a Missouri man. He is
also a genius. Nesbitt was one of the
props OF the Cleveland administration.
By early rising and close attention to
business and some sort Of Influence he
got into the internal revenue bureau
in Washington.
"Nesbitt got in under civil ser
vice reform administration, but Mes
bitt did not have to run the gauntlet
Of a civil service examination A
Republican was knocked out and
Nesbitt was shot in and that was all
there was of that civil service reform
proceeding.
"Nesbitt was very useful in helping
the administration to get rid of Re-
publicans in the internal revenue
bureau, and did his work SO we'll as
TO attract the attention and win the
favor of his superiors. Then Nesbitt
was made appointment clerk of the
treasury department and there he
Stayed his thousands of Republicans.
''Nesbitt was much commended for
the brillancy with which he perform
ed this very distinguished party
service. But Nesbitt had other things
to think of besides his party. He had
two sons, both of them under age,
and he proceeded to shoot them into
the civil service of the country.
Neither was subjected to the pain
full ordeal of civil service examina-
ton, but both are under the protection
of the civil service law, one drawing
81 POO a year and the other drawing
81 400 year. There is a section of
the civil service law which makes a
third member of family ineligible to
place in the service when two
members of the same family are al
ready in the service.
This law did not disconcert the
plans of the gifted Nesbitt. Ofcourse
it was his business to satisfy the
majesty of civil service reform, and he
was doing this to the best OF his
ability as he understood it. Accord
ing to his enlightened understanding
there could be no truly reformed civil
service without at least three members
of the Nesbitt family in it, and he
proceeded to elevate the standard ac-
according.
"Nesbitt's place has been filled by
the man whom Secretary Carlisle put
out, but does that end Nesbitt? Not
by about s., 200 a year. In some way
unknown to the astronomer royal
Nesbitt had been transferred to the
coast survey, where his duties will
not be killing and the salary will be
that expressed by the above mention
ed comforting figures.
I'm view of this outline of the
career of Nesbitt as public officer,
we think it is not too much to say
that Nesbitt is genius. He is almost
greater than he that taketh city"

On the 4th of March, 81 Jefferson
county Democrats had their names
inscribed on Government pay-rolls.
Since that date two more have been
added. We presume they will con-
tinue to draw their salaries and regu.
larly contribute to the campaign fund
of their party, while Republicans
stand on the corners and suck their
thumbs, except during campaigns,
when each and all are expected tc
labor and vote for men who. after Sc
curing Office, say they are powerless
to right the wrong.

Hundreds of the best positions in
Washington and elsewhere are held
by Democrats who cannot pass a civil
service examination, yet according
certain reformers they must not be
interfered with They were appointed
because they were partisans. Just
when they Invested themselves oftheir
partisan proclivities is not Known.
The fact is, they are partisans still
and will continue to be.

There is no occasion for a contro-
versy with the Statesman in relation
to Cuban affairs. 1t is we'll known
that Gen. Lee. prior to the Inaugural
ton of President Mckinley, begged
for a war vessel to enforce his demands.
His plea was in vain. Since then
many Americans have been released
and Gen. Lee is not now asking for
help for the reason, as stated in our
last issue, that an American is now
President No one has found fault
with Gen. Lee. He endeavored to do
his duty, but unable to accomplish
anything because Mr.. Cleveland did
not accord him proper support. The
recent decision in the case of Gen.
Luis Riviera, who is to be treated as a
prisoner of war instead of being shot
after a drumhead court-martial is posi-
tive proof that the Herald stated the
truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth.

Have You
An Account?

This is a serious question,
one at which some folks take
ofense, yet statesmen are under
the necessity of asking it.
Some folks deal near home,
settle infrequently, never in
vestigate to see whether they
pay more than they should and
too often allow their accounts to
go long over due. If you don't
care what the family expenses
are it's a poor way to do if you
want to leave your children i'll
afiiuent circumstances when
you are gone. Now it is quite
an advantage to have an open
account at a well-known house,
who can execute your order
promptly. Often persons say
they don't want an account and
will pay in a few days. But
we cannot keep memoranda of
charges; it isn't safe or good
business. The stock found in
