SpecldI TO the REGISTER.
Charleston, W. Va, November ga
sensational turn was taken in county
reformation affair to-day when J. w.
Goshorn, better known as bill Dave, .
who was for twelve years clerk Of the
county court of Kanawha county, was
arrested on the charge of stealing
vouchers, On which $1,000 had been paid
to ex-Sheriff Silman, from the office of
the county clerk.
Large sums Of money have been paid
to Peter Silman, assignee, by the coun-
ty court, its records not stating for
whom he was assignee or for what the
orders were allowed.
Vouchers filed in the office of the
clerk explain what payments were for
and bear evidence as to their assign
ment to Silman.
The charge against Goshorn is that
he tried to get Bob Coleman, a dep
uty in the clerks office, to destroy
these vouchers, which are the only
evidence that these amounts have
been properly paid to Silman.
Coleman referred the matter to
County Clerk Staunton, and after a
conference with Silman and others
they decided to lay trap for Cos
horn.
They instructed Coleman to arrange
with Goshorn to let him have the
papers.
They were to be put in a place
agreed upon with Goshorn, and he was
to come and get them.
The whole crew watched for him
to-day.
Goshorn got the papers and started
over to Kanawha street with them. Sill
man met him and they went back to-
gether to the clerks office, where the
papers were found in Goshorn's pocket
and the sheriff arrested him.
He was given a preliminary exami-
nation to-day and was held by Squire
Bond under $500 bond, to answer in
dictment.
Coleman alleged that Goshorn said
some one had to go to the penitentiary
and it might as well be Silman as any
one else, and that he expected by de-
stroying the records to make it appear
that Silman had secured money he had
no right to and send him up for it.
Goshorn says the whole thing is a con-
spiracy against him. The county court
he says, has been irregularly paying dis
trict and county road orders out of the
fund for county bridges. Coleman tod
him so and said Goshorn ought to go to
the clerks Office and see for himself
Goshorn said the clerks Office force
We're not friendly to him and he did not
want to so there. Coleman said he would
get the vouchers and let Goshorn take
them away for examination and return
them. Coleman gave them to him and he
was going to the Star-Tribune office to
examine them, when he met Silman and
returned with him to the clerks office.
He denies ever having said anything
about destroying the papers or sending
Silman to the penitentiary.
Goshorn has been active in the warfare
against the court house ring and public
corruption, begun here recently, and his
arrest has caused a tremendous sensation.
Public opinion is divided as to his guilt.

pressed great regret at his recall from

marked:

same contempt for these papers they have

Referring TO the concentration of the
Cuban peasants near the towns OF that

deemed such a step necessary because
they were spies and the most devoted
friends Of the enemy"
In regard to autonomy. the former cap

or Cuba belong to Spain, and autonomy
uleans the disapyearance Of Spanish work

To the Republican party leaders. a
most gratifying feature of the indus
, trial and commercial revival is the
cause to which the returning prosperity
must be ascrlbed. It cannot be credited
to the enforcement OF the tariff law, for
the tide had set in before the provisions
OF the law were enforced, and certainly
not to any monetary reform, for that
project has as yet not been undertaken
by Congress, The turning OF the tide In
the direction of better times Is due solely
to confidence inspired In the people by
the administration that the pledges OF
the campaign would be carried out The
adoption Of the tariff bill thoroughly es.

which had just begun to flow has become

A Time for Cool Heads.
At critical period, such as that which
seems to have been reached In the coal
strike, when mems patience Is being
sorely tried and when cool heads arc
needed to avert trouble of most serious
nature, 1t is pity that the sensational
newspaper correspondent cannot be sup
pressed. Just at this time he appears to
be very much in evidence, AT such a time
many wild and untruthful reports are
apt TO be current, calculated to lnclte bad
feeling. Partisans OF both sides of the
controversy are apt to say things In an
indlscreet moment which may add fuel
to the flames, and too much care cannot
be used by the newspapers and their rep
resentatives to conflne themselves strict
ly to the truth, and not to give too much
heed to rumors, or to attribute too much
Importance to unwIse statements made
by individuals.
In connection with the preparations
that are being made, for instance, by
the Plttsburg operators to resume work
at their mines in the attempt to break
the strike. sensational headlines appear
in some OF our contemporaries over the
statement made by LOTUS cuddy, OF the
Cuddy-Mullln Coal company, to the eff
feet that an army OF detectives will be
employed and that they will be equipped
with rifles and gatling guns,
This is the statement of an individual,
VINO is probably talking for effect, but
the effect can only be harmful and tend
to lnclte trouble. The newspaper which
displays such foolish talk under scare
headlines predicting bloodshed and riot
in bold type contributes Its share to the
precipitation OF trouble.
Another instance of the evil growing
out OF the sensatlonallsm and lack of
care to confirm rumurs, was the story
sent to our nelghbor, the Register, by Its
Fairmont representative, to the effect
that the Monongah Coal Company had
refused to sell a striking miner burying
ground for his dead child. This was
heraIded over the country as an exam
pie Of the heartlessness Of the coal oper-
ators and was made the subject OF bitter
comment. 1t turns out that there was
no truth in the. report and that the Mo-
nongah company never owned burylng
ground nor any interest in one. The
Register correspondent was Obliged to
publish a correction OF the story, which
the Register had been led to publish In
good faith, and 1t was necessary to send
the correction out by Associated Press.
These are comparatively mild examples,
illustrating the necessity for coolnese
and conservatism at time when a crisis
is approaching.
Everybody has hoped from the very
beginning that the miners would win
their cause peacefully, and their actions
thus far have warranted that hope. II is
their desire to conduct their contest to
the end dIspasslonately and without vlo-
lence, and because of this desire they
have retained public sympathy. The
daily developments have been followed
by the newspapers. which, with a few
exceptions have handled the matter In a
manner which has done full justice to
both sides. Most papers have abstaned
from exaggeratlon and Sensational pub
