Charleston Gazett,

To-Day marks a CQduRe III tue pOllIl-
cal history of West Virginia. The
Democrats retire and turn over to the
Republicans a prosperous State and
contented people.
Democracy has nothing to be
ashamed Of nor is there anything in
its career during the past twenty-five
years that would cause the most hum
BILE voter TO blush.
A fourth Of a century ago the Demo-
Gratis took charge of the State. There
were no public buildings Of imposing
aspect; school houses were few and
FAR between; the State treasury had
but few dollars in it, and the school
fund was almost nothing. Coal mines
and coke ovens could be counted on
the fingers Of one hand, and have sew
eral fingers left to keep tally with.
But under Democratic rule all
changed and a State with school
houses on every hill top and in every
valley. fine colleges and normal
schools, hundreds of coal mines and
coke ovens in operation, thousands OF
saw mills and other factories and a
State normal fund of 100000 are the
result of wise and judicial legisla-
ton.
All this is turned over to the new
administration and it remains to be
seen what the Republicans will do
for the people.
The retiring Democratic admins
tration will go down into history as
strong one.

THAT NEW BOOK LAW.

THAT NEW BUM LAW
West Union Record.
The school book bill passed by the
recent Legislature provides for the Sc
lection of a county scnool book board
OF eight persons for each county in the
State. and under its provisions each
county shall select its own text books
and there may be as many different
text book systems as there are counties
in the State. All uniformity in text
books is therefore destroyed, and the
pupil or teacher moving from one coun-
W into another will have to accom-
modate himself to an entirely new sys-
tenn. The change will be very expen-
sive to the people and leaves the matter
in much worse condition than ever be-
fore. Any fair-minded person can see
that the new law is a sad blow TO the
free school system in this State.

course. Mr.. Bryan would say that IL all
the silver that Is not coined were
coined, there would be more silver coin.
but to this the evident reply Is that II
all the gold that is not coined were
coined we would have more gold coin
and so the world would be richer.
But that Is not all. as now almost
everybody except Mr.. Bryan admits
Even those who were for time nlisled
by the tempting sophistries Of Mr..
Bryan now know that the one essential
thing wanting in Mr.. Bryan's Pro-
gramme for creating wealth Is that
value cannot be created, and that a
dollar made OF silver does not get its
virtue from it's proclamation that II Is
a dollar. but from the willingness OF
the people TO give II that rating. If
commerce will not give it that rating.
II cannot be forced. This. which now
looks to be such a very simple PROPOSE
ton, was entirely lost sight OF during
the days Of hallucination. but the peo-
pie have got back to normal reasoning
and that IL why they rejoice at the
recommendations made by President
Mckinley of maintenance OF our cur
rency upon a sound basis, and the pro-
vision OF means by which It can be
made more elastic as the commercial
paaSS ~ the country Yeasyire
Mr.. Bryan intimates that President
Mckinley contemplates doing most
reprehensible thing: he does not state
1t truthfully, but his tone is disapprov-
ing What Mr.. Mckinley really In
tends doing will be done with the aid
of congress. and II will be done with the
most hearty concurrence OF the great
body Of the American people.

THE kLoNDlkE SPREADING.

So long as gold is found in the Cana

a fragment is at the head of Cook inlet

The disappointment about that part
OF the placer diggings seems to have
occurred through the failure OF pros
pectors to so high enough. By the time
the drift has reached the lower waters
OF the stream which runs into the In

pated the small particles and the pick

On the other side OF that broken
patch Of mountain the streams carry
