THE LEGIsLATURE.

Grafton Sentinel.
Republican newspapers have poked jibs
AT Democratic Legislatures in the past at
what seemed out of date legislation and
such as was apparently unfriendly TO the
newspaper press. But it must be said in
frankness that all the legislation so far
had in this State that benefited the news
paper has come from Democratic Legisla
lures. Ard it has remained 10 the ever
lasting stigma of a Republican Legislature
in the year 1897. 10 repeal much Of law
passed by Democratic predecessor ttat
was a benefit not only to the newspapers
but to the people at large. We hope to
see other Republican Legislatures in West
Virginia. but for the good name of the
party let the quality be improved. II must
be If the good things in store for the State
about which Governor Atkinson speaks
so eioQuently are to be realized.

THE STATES FINANCES.

Morgantown New Dominion.
Some few weeks ago the columns Of the
Republican State papers teemed with great
howls over alleged shortages in the state
treasury. Every little mossback partisan
journal in the State Immediately began TO
veil. Il told YOU So" and to demand the
instant execution of every Democratic Oh
fetal found at large. The brainy Legisla-
ture took it up and vast quantities Of low
grade oratory were wasted on the horrible
instance of Democratic lniquity. COM
mittee was appointed TO investigate and a
tremendous flourish Of trumpets was given
at the outset of its labors, and several
columns Of highly sensational and untrue
sIush was dished up by Charleston Re-
publican organs.
Then a space of profound silence, broken
only by the weird sounds Of buzzing
wheels. The Irregularities were not dis
covered. Everything was absolutely flaw
less and everything above the remotest
breath of suspicion. This condition Of af-
fairs dampened the ardor Of the investiga-
tors considerably. and no report was made
that reflected in the slightest upon the
capable and efficient Democratic officials.
This reflects great credit upon the party
which has dominated the State for twenty
four years. Treasured Kendall gave
Treasurer Rowan a receipt IN full for every
cent alleged to be in the treasury. There
was not a single fact to show that any
money had been misappropriated or even
spent fooiishly by the Democrats. a
showing to be proud of. May our friends,
the enemy, equal it.

The Suicide at Parlzersburg wasa -;esidens
OF Ohio.

OF Ohio.
Special to the Register.
Parkcrsburg, w. Va. April AL
though the undertaking establishment
of Dare ( Carney has been visited by
over SEQ people to view the remains
or the man who suiCided in the Ohio
river near Blennerhassett Island, last
night. not one has gave the least clue
whereby the suicide could be identified.
TWO men stated they met him walking
south over the Ohio River railroad,
near where he suicided. but when
greeted he paid no attention to them,
The dead mans hands would indicate
that he was not a labOrer, and his COM
plcXiOn is light. his mustache beng
only slightly tinged with grey. 1t was
az first thought that the mans over
coat and pants were black, but closer
inspection by daylight shows them TO
both be brown. the OvercOat, which was
found floating i'm the river, being
shade brighter than the trousers ana
padded inside with heavy lining. He
also wore grey Jersey knit shirt
laced in front. and his hat has been
found. and is a wide trimmed black.
Those who seen him before he suicided
thought he was intoxicated, but the
mans limbs from the knees down, and
his ankles. indicate that he was
troubled with rheumatism. An ONO
River railroad duplex ticket was found
Up0a him, but his place of residence
could not be ascertained by this. Sew
eral men claim they seen the suicide
here yesterday. but the general belief
is that he came up the Ohio river on
the keystone State. which arrived here
shortly before The man took his life,
and he NJ once left the boat and went
90 the scene OF the suicide. He wore
no mtarcCat. The shoes and arctics
were new and when he got near the
waters edge he removed his oyercoat
and waded out TO his death.
The duplex found in the dead mans
pocket shows that he had eighty-fve
cents fare from point near Belmont,
bur the exact place cannot be de-
ciphered.

THE JOR,S THE THING.

West Virginia Argus.
There are some funny things in politics.
For instance here is Rev. J. o. Thompson.
of the Keyser Echo. and Col. c. b. Hart,
of the Wheeling Intelligencer, the two
worst gold bugs in the State making des-
perate efforts 10 represent the United
States in free. silver countries. Brother
Thompson was TO be consul general to
Mexico. to succeed Gen. T. T. Crittenden,
Of Missouri Col. Hart is slated for min
lister to Bogota, the capital of the United
States of Colombia. another awful free
silver country. where misery and degree
dalton and anarchy and desolation are
supposed TO reign supreme from what we
heard in the late campaign. We are very
much surprised that these gentlemen are
so willing. and even anxious, to rush into
trouble like this.
