1t is a pleasure to note~that the COM
plications and nattQnsf embarrassments
consequent upon a-4ejection of the treaty
of peace will be averted by its ratification.
-Intelhgencer.
A1dHhat this will be done without
delay is due to the efforts of Mr.. Bryan
and the high regard in which his wis
dom and craftsmanship are held by
both Democrats and Republicans who
are opposed to the imperial features
of the treaty. But, OF course, the or
gan is careful to ignore this fact. It
would never do for it to give Mr.. Bryan
SO much credit.

1t is believed that in one day in
Kansas City Hobson kissed over
thousand women. 1t is said he occa-
sionally uses force, kissing those who
don't want to be kissed. A private
soldier down in Georgia is serving six
months on the chain-gang for having
done that very thing. Maybe 1t IS
lust as we'll the Navy Department has
decided to send Mr.. HObson to Hong

The rate at which Baltimore & Ohio
stock has been rising of late in Wall
street is an indication that the road is
firmly on its feet and in an exception
ally prosperous condition. In view of
this fact, isn't it about time the b. &
0. people were building a respectable
passenger station at the western ter
minus of its main line in this city to
replace the little tumble-down shanty
now serving or, rather, not serving, as
station. which would disgrace a
country way-station?

RATHER HUMILIATING,

The Democratic organ seems to think
that conference of leading West Virginia
Republicans at the residence of Senator
EllSins in Washington is something to be
severely criticised as revolutionary If not
positively treasonab le.-Intellige
No. dear, wrong again, as usual. It
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1898-12-23
was not the mere fact that the meeting
was held in Washington in Mr.. Elk
mss apartments that was considered

was not the mere fact that the meeting
was held in Washington in Mr.. Elk
mss apartments that was considered
revolutionary, but the scheme out
lind by the conspirators there. The
Register has charged nothing treason
able against the conspirators, because
the reasonable part of the scheme will
come if certain State officials at Wash
ington shall fail to do or shall IRAN
scend their sworn duty toAhe State,
which, it is alleged, contemplated.
We shall see if these political pirates
will carry heir damnable conspiracy
to the limit of positive treason.
The fact of the conference" of near
ly all the West Virginia Republican
leaders big and little being held in
Senator Elkins's comfortable Wash
ington apartments was merely cited
as an indication that the headquarters
of the g. o. p. of West Virginia was
not in West Virginia, but in Mr.. Elk
mss apartments at Washington, D. C.
The fact was mentioned simply as evil
dence that the biggest and most i'm
portant part Of the Republican party
of West Virginia was in Washington,
d. c., and that the West Virginia lead
ers could do nothing of themselves,
not even select their own candidate
for United States Senator, without
packing up and skipping off to head
quarters to see the boss in Washing
ton. The matter was alluded to mere
ly as indicating a rather humiliating
condition of affairs in the 6. o. p. in
West Virginia, which apparently isn't
big enough to have the boss come to
it, but must go to the boss before it
can make a move. In fact, the ma
chine in this State appears to be
mere vehicle for the boss's pleasure
which the g. o. p. leaders must drag
around after him in order that he may
condescend to operate it.
The Fourteenth street organ sees
uOlH1lS Out VI the way III dll ILLS, Ol
course No one expected it would. |
From earliest recollection the organ |
has been a servile lickspittle to the |
party bosses in Washington and it |
knows no other political service; but |
it is rather humiliating we imagine to |
independent Republicans |
in West Virginia who think that if the |
party is big enough to manage the af- |
fairs of the State it is big enough |
to have headquarters of it's own within
the bounds of the State. They, also, |
we conjecture, have sufficient pride in
their State to resent it's. being regarded |
as a rotten borough by political man
ipulator in Washington, or as if it
were a political stock-farm and Sena-
tor Elkins its owner.
