M,KENNA AND THE o. p. SCANDAL.

M'KENNA AND THE o. r. SCANDAL
1t is difficult for even Attorney Gen.
eral McKenna's defenders to pursue a
fixed policy in apologizing and explain
ing for him, because he has talked IN
so many different ways about his IN
tentions and the governments powers
in the final settlement of the affairs OF
the Pacific railroads.
In one of his latest pleas, Judge Nc
Kenna says: There was no deal Win
the Reorganization Committee-tne
Pierpont Morgan syndicate. The gov
eminent and the committee from the
very beginning have been legal adver-
saries.'
This sounds all right, and would
have real merit if the Attorney General
! had not talked so much on the theme
in palpable effort to smooth the way
for the Morgan syndicate. Compare
his statement just quoted with an
other, made almost in the same
breath, and then see if McKenna does
not admit that there was not only one
DEAL but a series of deals. Here is
what he said when he was trying to
squirm out of the unpleasant duty OF
bringing Morgan to terms by demand
| ing a postponement of the sale of the
| Union Pacific:
''The government could not be made
a party without it's consent. Fore
closure without the government being
party would leave the roads subject
| to an equity of redemption in the gov
eminent The government, therefore,
was desired as a party, but 1t would
not become so and risk the sale OF the
property with no bidders but the Reor-
ganization Committee and itself. There
were many reasons against the gov
eminent becoming bidder. To over
come it's objections, the Reorganization
roads of $45, 100000 in round num-
bers."
That does not sound much like "the
government and committee from the
very beginning have been legal adver-
saries,' does it? Has it any resem-
blance to McKennas positive assur-
ance that there was no deal with the
Reorganization Committee?" AS
matter of fact, the Attorney General,
nv his own admissions oOnvictc him
self of full knowledge of the existence
of deal, bargain, an understanding,
or by whatever name he prefers to give
the transaction, by which the govern
ment was to lose more than twenty
million dollars in the sale of the Paci-
fic roads to the Pierpont Morgan syn
dictate Of railroad mopopolists. 1t
makes no difference, so far as he is
concerned, who made the deal. 1t was
his duty to protect the governments
interests without being driven to it by
popular clamor, aroused by newspaper
exposure of the flagitious character of
the transaction
Whether or not President Mckinley
in pursuance to the original terms of
the deal, dominates McKenna for the
""""' '"'- - 'a1e euproHne Court caused
ny the resignation of Justice Field tho

AN OHIO COUNTY MAN

Dying in Mississippi from an Apoplectic
Stroke.
Yesterday Mayor Butts received the
following telegram:
Greenville, Miss, November II.
Mayor ]. R. Butts:
81. c. McCord; apoplectic stroke; no
chance for recovery; notify John Nc
Cord.
''DR. A. BRUCE"
Hundreds of Wheeling and Ohio
county people will remember James c.
McCord, and will regret his present con-
dition. He resided about mile above
Glenn's run, on the river, and stood in
the Second ward market for many
years. Later he became interested in the
river business, and about ten years ago
he went to Mississippi, where he con-
tinued his river interests, particularly in
the direction of coal shipments. He is
now about siXty-eight or seventy years
of age His bother, Thomas McCord,
and two sisters still reside above Glenn S
run.

All Of which reminds one Of the cele-

The Turkish ambassador at Berlin
left his post without leave and was
dismissed by the Sultan. The ambas-
sador was tired waiting for his salary,
which had not been paid for nine
months. He will do wisely if he shall
decide not to go to Constantinople to
collect his back pay, for he would run
chances of being not only without a
salary but minus his head, also. The
Sultan has way of settling such cases
that is peculiar to himself.

After an already apparently inter-
minable wait, there are still other
court proceedings to go through before
Justice can get her hand on Muir

ginger and justice and less palaver
over technical nonsense. A little of
West Virginia celebrity in the admins
tration OF the law would have whole
some effect and do more than anything
else to reduce the docket of Judge

Mrs. Paul has given a great deal of
good advice in her day." the Rev. Billy
remarked, meditatively, "and ] really
think very little harm has come from
it"
she advised your being called to
Mercer. Did you know that?"
Know It? My dear child. how often

Poor girls" Rev. Billy commiser-
ated; and was removed for vanity.
indeed, just because happiness is so
serious q thing, they became very
frivolous, these two, sitting watching
the sunset, and the river. Amy told
him a funny story about the parish;
he responded by another concerning
Tom Reilly, a policeman; which re-
minded Amy to tell him that poor Tom
had an accident, and hurt his hand.
But it was very stupid in him. she
added, with a little of that reSentful
goodness that one sees sometimes in
women; Pm not at all sorry for him,
because he deserved it. He had been
drinking. and as he went stumbling
out Of a car, he crushed his hand in
the door"
Her lover was not to be lured into
professional comments he only muir
INJURED, "Mauvais quart d'heure-'
which made her say, Indignantly:
Nov, Billy, really, that is too
much!" and insist that they should go
home Immediately. Il cannot descend
to such levels" she told him; and was
very stern and forbidding, when, look
ing to the right and left, and seeing no
man, he begged to be allowed to kiss
her.
But this was all froth. Beneath, in
the mans life were the great tides OF
love, moving, noiseless and unchanged
BILE from out the depths of his soul. In
the girls life it was all shine, and per-
fume and glitter, like flowers blossom
ing on rock; beneath, in her heart
was the solid ground of reverence and
faith.

Mrs. Paul explained. "He looked
after him. At first he put him
in tin shop, if you please; fancy! this
man with the grand manner!'"
"Oh, / supposed he was a gentleman"
Amy Townsend said.
Amy, you are snob," her cousin
answered, hotly. He is" Mrs Paul
was so annoyed that she ended the
story of Mr.. Vests career very briefly.
Prof. Wilson oered either to start him
in business or put him through col
lege; he chose to go to college"
That was rather fine" Miss Town
send agreed
Fine? 1t just showed what sort of
man he was!" cried Mrs. Paul; "he
worked his way to some extent: that
is, he was Prof. Wilson's secretary
and he did lot of tutoring. Prof Will
son left him good deal of money, but
he gave away nearly half of it at
once, John says. Quite remarkable for
young man. Well, that's all; you see
what he is today? a gentleman and a
scholar! John says there is no man in
Mercer who has the influence that he
has"
Miss Townsend in spite of her care
full indifference, was interested. And
later, when Rev. William West met her
he, too, was "interested;" and all felt
out os the most experienced romancer
| could desire,
Amy had little money, much charm
a certain distinction that answered fol
| beauty, and very true nature; there
was, perhaps, certain hard integrity
about her, but her impulses We're gra-
J cious. Also, as the old ladies said, she
