The Smoke n uisanco.

The Smoke Nuisance.
In all our large cities and towns, east
and west. where manufacturing Is con.
Quoted to any considerable extent the
use Of bituminous coal is increasing
The limitation of the output Of anthra-
cite has forced this in measure. but In
any case the cheaper coal would force
its way. The dim hued atmosphere, the
begrimed buildings, certain indescrib.
able sootiness Of aspect, marks the phys
tognomy of cities where the main de-
pendence lie on soft coal. Even In New
York, where one Of the greatest charms
Of the ensemble has always been noted
In a crystalline beauty Of the air and
sky, the smoke nuisance is casting its
shadow. It may be said that the in
oreasing application Of electricity to
motor purposes, whereby the economical
and effective combustion Of coal and
utilization Of its heat units can be &C.
oomplished on large scale, wiz tend
ultimately to lessen the smoke volume
from factory chimneys. It is true also
that in eastern cities wAere anthracite
coal will always be used for domestic
purposes smoke will not be SO much in
evidence as in western cities. But there
Is no need in any case that there should
be nearly the same amount Of annoyance
from this cause as actually exists.

hYsTERIcAL DEnOcRATs.

Some Democrats of whom better
things should be expected are making
wild assertions as to their intentions
in relation to the legislative tangle.
They should keep cool and save their
powder until it is needed. Firing in
the air may terrorze ignorant negroes
in North and South Carolina, but
here it is a waste of ammunition
nothing more.
A bret review of the situation may
open their eyes and bring them to a
realization of the prophecies of the
occasion.
The election gave them one major
ity in the House. Counting Sena-
tors Getzendanner and Pierson the
Republicans have eight majority in
the Senate Republican majority Of
seven on joint ballot.
Then the Democratic ballot scratch
ers went to work and recounts were
demanded to increaee their majority
in the House. They were baked by
the courts in Taylor and Monroe
counties, while they appear to have
succeeded in the Lewis Webster dis
trict. They are still IN the minority
on joint ballot and additional frauds
will be required to enable them to
win out; but in case they accomplish
their Obi ct manufacture majority
it will avail them nothing. Cover
nor Atkinson and Secretary of State
Dawson will not issue a commission
to a man flaudulently chosen to
fill the high office OF United States
Senator. If they should do so the
Senate would not recognize Linn.
1t is thus plain that their hysterical
efforts must come to naught. They
may force the State to be represented
by Senator Elkins alone, but that is
as far as they can go. Two years
hence will right the wrong and end
the controversy.

NOT POLITICAL THIEVES?

The Charlestown Spirit of Jefferson
says:
The Democrats have never stolen a
Presidency, or a State Senatorship in
West Virginia, and will not permit the
stealing by the Republican managers
of the next West Virginia Legislature.
The Spirit should not be too posi-
tive. 1t is we'll known that but tor
Tammany frauds Grover Cleveland
would not have been chosen Presi-
dent in 1884.
In this State, as the Spirit we'll
knows, fraud and corruption have
marked the career of the Democratic
party since 1886, when Anthony
Smith, legally elected State Senator
in the Third District, was counted
out in Writ county. That theft pre-
vented Judge Golf, legally elected in
1888, from being Governor.
Earlier, Judge Flick was counted
out, and the result was the Democrat
ic free trade panic of 1898, which the
Spirit doubtless remembers.
The Spirit surely will not deny the
Wetzel understanding of 1888, or
the tive" infamy of the same year by
which Hon. G. w Atkinson and Hon.
c. B. Smith were compelled to make
contests to secure seats in Congress
to which they were legally elected.
1t cannot have forgotten the theft of
a legislative seat from Hon. S. G.
Smith, of Ohio county. six years ago,
as that was one of the boldest robber-
les ever committed.
We could continue to add to the
above indefinitely. They have not
only stolen from Republicans, but
when they could find nothing else to
steal they have stolen from them
selves. 1t is we'll known that they
stole the nomination for Governor
from Judge +. Boyd Faulkner in 1884,
and just this year, were we so minded,
we could name an instance of NOM
ination being stolen from a Democrat
in the western portion of this State,
and now that same Democrat is lick
ing the hands of the thieves and
shouting fraud at Republicans. The
record of the Democratic party in this
State would put to shame the thieves
in the Arabian Nights.

What Will Congress Do to riimP

helena (Mont.) Herald.
1t is stated that the Democrats oil
Utah have elected to Congress one
Roberts, an avowed advocate and
practicer of polygamy. 1t is said he
has three wives in plural standing
and has no desire TO be rid of any OF
them. This would appear to be pun
ishment enough for one man; but Con-
gressmen have expressed themselves,
in interviews, as disposed to fire this
much married man from the House.
OF course, Roberts is living in def
ance of the laws of the United States
if the statement is true, and the state
of Utah is violating its constitution
and the act admitting it as state to
the Union, by tolerating such man
and honoring him with high office.
1t will be interesting to see what Con-
gress will do with him, and if it will
permit in its membership one who
thus preserves in his acts one of the
twin relics of barbarism.

Postal Affairs in West Virginia.

The report OF Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow, just is
sued, contains some statistics relating
to the postal service in West Virginia
that are of interest. In this State 20
appointments OF presidential postmas-
tiers were made during the past year,
fifteen 10 fill vacancies caused by ex-
piring commissions, and eight to fill
vacancies caused by removal. The
number of fourth-class appointments
in the State was GOT, of which SO were
to fill vacancies caused by removals.
There are now 1895 fourth-class post
Offices in West Virginia, of which 2I2
are money order offices. There are 80
presidential post Offices, making a
grand total of 1883 post-offices of all
classes. The average yearly compen-
sation of a West Virginia fourth class
postmaster is $Io8.74, the gross re-
ceipts for the year OF all West Vir-
ginia was 5000, 522 %, or of 90 cents
per capita OF the States population.
West Virginia ranks thirty-ninth
among the States of the Union in the
matter of the expenditure tor postal
service; fifteenth in number of fourth
class postmasters; forty-third in the
size of their yearly average compen-
safiOu and thirty second in the nh nj
Der of presidential post offices. There
are now 1850 post offices in the
United States.

All business comparisons are made
with 1892. The four years succeed
ing 1892 were worse than wasted.
Two years were required to recuper-
ate--to get well. We are on the
right track once more-just whe c
we were six years ago. There is but
one cloud on the business horizon
the Democratic party. If it can be
dissipated, there is before us an era
of prosperity such as was never be.

We very much fear the Charlestown
Free Press is dangerously near the
borderland of Trouble by reproducing
an editorial from the Shepherdstown

some weeks since, and, whew, how it
stirred the wrath of the Bourbons!
The Free Press and Independent
should beware.

Little things. occurrences apparent
ly trifing, change the minds of men
and control their votes. Demagogues
always have hobby which Trey ride

repent their action only to repeat the

When the Democrats withdraw
their contests against Republican
members of the Legislature, the Re-

much right to contest the seat OF a
Democrat as Democrats have to con
test a seat of a Republican. The

not scare worth a cent.

at Won't Work"

Under the above caption the Wheel
ing Register devotes column of its
editorial space to an effort to prove
that Senator Getzendanner and Pier
son are not State Senator's and that
their case is not analogous to that Of
Gen. Wheeler. In one particular
there is a difference: Members OF
Congress are paid monthly whether
Cor gress IS in session or not; mem
bers Of the Legislature are paid for
the time the Legislature is in session.
A member of Congress is a member
throughout the entire TERMS paid
for his entire time. Members of the
Legislature are paid for Is days dur
ing two years.
The Register says there is no con
test in Gen. Wheeler's case; that no
body wants his seat. There is con
test in the other case and Democrats
want those seats That is queer log
ic. Dear Register, do you consider it
good? Surely it won't work.
The Register supposes Senators
Getzendanner and Pierson should 90
out of the country, Ito the Philip
pines or Porto Rico or somewhere else
out of the United States" but they
did not go Gen. Wheeler did go to
Cuba. Mr.. Register, you see it won t
work.
The Register says the opinion Of
Attorney General Griggs that Gen.
Wheeler did not vacate his seat is not
good law for this State, The provi-
sions of the National and State consti-
tutions are identical. But Joe Bailey
says he will challenge Joe Wheeler
right 20 exercise his duties in the
House. Let him try it. Then Josie
will see himself as others see him and
a Democratic caucus will not save
him.
How the Register wishes it could
take the other horn of the dilemma,
but it cannot. The complexion of
the Legislature appears to hinge on
these two cases. That is where the
shoe pinches. A United States Sena-
tor is at stake, possibly two.
Since the Register editorial was
written Senators Getzendanner and
Pierson have resigned their commits
sions in the army. They are not now
"HOLDING A LUCRATIVE OF.
FICE"-they are merely members OF
the West Virginia Senate and they
will take their seats and perform their
duties in the State Senate when the
time arrives. Do you see Mr.. Reg
lister, at won't Work .
