The question now for the Demo
cratic members of the Legislature to
consider is, will they sign the CALI
1t is a plain case that "a considera
bic number OF them would be glad
to get back to Charleston for a few
more days, and there is beyond any
question disposition on the part Of
some Of them to assist the Republi-
cans in getting the Legislature to-
gether again. But that is where the re-
sponsibility rests. Suppose these
Democrats assistin reassembling the
Legislature, then when that body
meets they refuse to concur in the
amendments proposed, excellent as
some of them seem to be? Or sup
pose again that the Legislature
should meet, and there was a dead
lock, and it would remain in session
month or so and accomplish moth
ing? Do the Democrats want to be
responsible for such a state of affairs
or make them possible?
BY all means they should leave
the Republicans to assume this and
similar responsibilities. This Con-
stitutional Committee is Republi-
can creation. While our State con-
stitution needs amending beyond
doubt, in some particulars, yet I'M
der Democratic administration the
State and the people have gotten
along and prospered, and If the Re
publicans want amendments made
they should assume the responsible
ty.
Besides this, the last Legislature
has by no means commended itself
to the people of the State and they
have doubtless had enough of it. Be
yond question, it was the most cor
rupt body that ever assembled at
the State capital, at least SO far as
the Republican majority was con
cerned, and it is a matter Of regret
that few Democrats were to be
found voting with the Republicans
in favor of some of their unconstitu
tional and partisan schemes. We
have no burning desire to see that
crowd of Republican lobbyists back
in Charleston, and unless there are
more weighty reasons than we can
see at present for calling an extra
session, the Democratic member who
signs the call will be signing his po-
litical death warrant.

The case of town against Frank
Cox has been decided in favor OF
Mr.. Cox. The contention was over
a certain ten foot strip Of ground on
the eastern end Of Peasants street.
Mr.. Cox wanted to build his house
to cover this strip, and projecting
into the proposed street. The town
wished to prevent him from so do
ing in view Of the proposed inten
ton of the street over the bridge to
be built to Greenmont. An injunc-
ton was issued to prevent Mr.. Cox
from building on this ground and a
force of workingmen graded the
street down. Now the injunction
is dissolved and the town must pay
the cost.

Cut on the Misty Sea.

There is an isle on the misty sea,
Fringed with bright flowers eternally,
Called the Isle of Going to-be.
And the birds are singing merrily,
And the lilies nod and beckon me
Out to the Isle of Going-to-be.
Sail out with the tide in merry
glee,
Sail out in youth, while It's plain to
This magical Isle Of Going-to-be.
In youth the ship Hope, a rowing are
we,
But in manhood our hopes ''gang-a-
glae''
Over this Isle of Going-to-bc.
For waves of doubt foam round DER
the lea,
And we meier quite reach the isle in
the sea,
The phantom Isle Of Going -to-be.

Every person who dealt in hard
ware a few months ago, whether he
was contractor or was building a
house, will recall the exactions of
the nail trust under prohibitory
tariff. One instance particularly
made an impression on the public
mind. A dealer about year ago
bought large quantity of nails
from the trust for shipment abroad.
He literally complied with the stip-
ulation by shipping the nails to
Amsterdam, and brought them back
and undcrsold the trust rate in the
home market! The margin between
the price in the home market was
such as to enable him to make a
handsome profit by the transaction.
The senate last week voted to in
crosse the duties under which this
was possible. To he sure, the nail
trust has gone to pieces, but II Il H.

the Wheeling News says:

The Charleston correspondent of
the Wheeling News says.
Among the republicans here SEN
ator Richard e. Fast, of Monongalia
who is chairman of the constitution
committee, is regarded as one of the
coming men of the state and republi-
can organs have begun to suggest him
for something higher, the governor
ship nomination. Fast, although one
of the youngest men in the state sem
ate, was easily its most conspicuous
member and had more part in the leg
fslation than any one of his colleagues.
He was constantly antagonized by SEN
ator George w. Farr, of Doddridge,
more it appears on account of jealousy
than anything else, and Fast beat
him from start to finish. Farr is the
only man who entered the list against
Fast's assumption of leadership in the
senate and after his turning down no
one would try it, even If anyone had
the disposition. Fast is fine lawyer
and an ardeut politician He is i'm
mensely popular ameng the young re-
publicans and the old as well in Ills
section and predictions are freely made
that he will be heard from still furth-
er. The only bar to success is his del
icate health"

Mr.. Searles. the sugar trust dig

it is just as well, no law being avail

courts doubtless agree with Mark
Hanna that it is most desirable that
the public should not be informed of
the extent of the sugar trusts contri-
buttons to the election of Mckinley

the people just a, this time, and the

There is man in this town who
has an official position in the town
and is paid good salary by the town.
He gives perhaps value received for
that; there is no fauls to be found with
that phase of the question. Where
the cause for grievance is found is in
the facts that wherever he has any
work to do, anything to buy or any
money to spend in any way, if posi-
Bile, he goes out Of the state to spend
it. People in Morgantown spend their
money with him and he turns around
and spends it with down river parties.
Perhaps this is due to thoughtlessness
but the evil should be corrected. Pa
tronize town people because they pa
tronize you.

that the Tariff bill shall be passed
not because they approve of the pro-
posed changes, but because delay

Prosperity and Legislation.

When the election was over last fall
The World spoke the thought of the
entire people in demanding retrench-
ment, revenue and rest.
Instead of retrenchment, Repub-
lican Congress gave us increased APP
preparations. Instead Of passing the
simple and obvious revenue bills need
ed. the Republican Congress, at the
behest Of the Republican President
elect deliberately planned to force an
extra session. Instead of the rest
which above all things the indus
tries of the country required, we have
had three separate and distinct incon-
gruous tariff bills threatening us in
three months.
The plan was to have the Dingley
bill ready and to liam it through be-
fore importers could anticipate it with
importations. That failed. The SEN
ate Finance Committee rejected the
whole measure and framed new one
to disturb industry in totally different
ways. Now the Senate Republican
caucus rejects the Finance Commit
tees bill and is forming new one,
with the revenue tax on tea and beer
left out, but with all the Sugar Trust
advantages preserved and increased.
In the mean time men are waiting
for work and wages and the promised
prosperity" is postponed to suit the
convenience of politicians. World.
