THE FARNHURsT APPROPRIATION

THE FARNHURST APPROPRIATION
1t is useless for the General Assem-
bly, to play hide and seek with the Del
aware State Hospital at Farnhurst. It
is a state institution, and must be sup
ported. There is no good reason why
the members of the Assembly should
put off action on the request Of the
trustees for an adequate appropriation
to carry them through the next two
years. The support Of the institution is
an issue Of vital interest, and ample
time has been given the members to
come to some conclusion regarding it,.
They have talked of an investigation,
and have even gone to the length of
adopting a resolution appointing a joint
committee to examine into the affairs
of the hospital, but that committee has
never reported, and might just as well
never have been appointed so far as
the value of its services is concerned.
Such vital questions ought not to be
made eleventh-hour matters. Nothing
is gained by procrastination in dealing
with them. They are simple, everyday
matters Of business. and the whole
matter resolves itself into a question OF
not what the hospital ought to have
but what sums of money the state can
afford to appropriate to it, The trus-
tees will have to make the work of the
next two years correspond with The
sum of money allowed, and it rests will
the General Assembly to say whether
the efficiency of the institution shall b'
promoted by liberality or impaired b!
niggardly action. Whatever the resul
is to be, let it be declared at once.

GREEcE And TuRKEY.

The effective fighting force of the
Greeks is infinitely smaller than that OF
the Turks but it is better disciplined in
several branches. and not only that,
but the Greek soldiers are animated
by a courage and patriotism which
makes them much more dangerous than
the fanatical Turks. who know nothing
but the false prophet and the will OF
the sultan. The Greeks are fighting
for revenge. Their brethren, in race
and religion. have been slain by the
thousands by the Turks, and they are
determined that the blood which is
crying from the ground shall be
avenged. no matter what the result may
be. Everybody, from the king to his
humblest subject, is anxious to CON
tribute to this grand result of teaching
Turkey a lesson in humanity by the use
of modern appliances of war. This Is
a paradox brought about by the pecul-
lar conditions existing in the Turkish
dominion.
Greece is much weaker numerically
on land than the Turks, but the ELI
cheney of her navy and the self-sacri-
icing bravery of her soldiers will COM
pensate in great measure for that.
When the proper time comes it will be
found that the brave little country
which has taken a desperate step in
the face of the protests of the powers
will come out of the struggle with
credit to itself, and that the sword of
the Turk will no longer be held over
the helpless Armenians and Cretans.

The Statesman and other Popocrat-
ic organs imagine they are making
oceans of political capital by publish
ing reports OF business failures, APP
parently failing to realize that they
are announcing their own funerals, as
nine-tenths of all failures since the
election are either the aftermath of
the Democratic panic or else the result
of dishonesty on the part of Employees.
In battle, a certain number are kill
ed, others are wounded. According to
the Statesman none of the wounded
should die, yet they do. So with
business houses and banks. MANY
went to the wall during the height OF
the panic, others were weakened, yet
by strenuous efforts they staggered
on hoping to win out Strength fail
ed and they went dowu. Another
point: The Republican party is not
yet in power. Democratic policies
still prevail. Until there is a change
in the revenue laws, even the most
sanguine scarcely expect any marked
change for the better

Better than Other Cases.

While some Popocratic sheets are
going into Mysteries over the ousting
of Capt. Shafier from the Senate, it
may not be amiss to call attention to
the following from the Wheeling
News a strictly independent news
paper:
"A fine point of Law, as we'll as
morals is involved in the Getzendan-
ner-Shaffer election contest before the
state senate. 1t seems clear the name
of Shaffer was placed on the national
Democratic ballot through some very
sharp practice and it is very doubtful
if the ballot commissioners had the
right to place it there. Being on the
ballots, however, it is clear that he
received plurality of the votes cast.
However, it scarcely worth while to
speculate as to the fine points involv-
ed 1t is written that Mr. Shaffer
shall be rejected, and Mr. Getzendan
ner seated, and that will end the mat
ter. 1t may be we'll to observe, how
ever, that there have been many cleo
ton contests, in which the contestant
did not have so good a case"

The Wheeling Intelligencer and
Parkersburg State Journal, comment
ing on the Getzendanner- Shaffer con-
test, arrive at the conclusion that no
candidates name should appear more
than once on the official ballot. The
Herald begs to dissent. Take, for
example, the recent contest in this
Delegate District. Republicans re-
alizing that it was an almost hopeless
task to attempt to elect Republicans,
nominated candidates acceptable to
the Sound Money Democrats. Their
names were therefore properly placed
on the Republican ticket. The National
Democrats Endorsed the same parties
as they had perfect right to do. In
fact, they were nominated by the Re.
publicans with the distinct under.
standing that they were acceptable to
the National Democrats. Had the law
prevented INC vi lhOoC SNhllN-
men from being printed on both
tickets, their competitors would have
been elected. Change the law so as
to compel persons signing petitions to
swear that they have not taken part
iii any other primary or convention
and that they propose to vote the
ticket which they are assisting to
create, and then compel clerks of Cir
cult Courts and ballot commissioners
TO be more circunspect, and there will
be slight danger of fraud. 1t might
also be well to allow aggrieved parties
to carry such cases to Judges of the
circuit courts for prompt adjudica-
ton
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1897-01-23

When Capt. Shaffer got his name
and that of Junior Brown on the
National Democratic ticket in this and
Jefferson counties, by reason of the
fact that in both counties there were
Democratic clerks of the Circuit Court,
he was reminded that the trick would
not avail. The properly constituted
National Democratic Committee had
refused to indorse their candidacy, as
both advocated financial theories at
variance with the principles of the
party The proper method at that
time would have been to enjoin the
printing of ballots with their names
thereon, but as there was doubt as to
the effect of an injunction, it was not
thought best to do nothing as, if any
one profted by the trick it could be
easily discovered and the wrong
righted. The result proves the cor
rectness OF that theory, though we
are free to say that the risk is con-
siderable, for, had there been Popo-
cratic majority in the Senate, Shaffer
would not have been onsted.

Speaking of the services rendered

them being that the bill do not

attention, yet the result was foregone

when Mr.. Getzendanner was seated
by a vote of 10 to {. Mr.. Shaffer
made an eloquent speech in his own
behalf, but it did not avail.
