STRIKE MAY BE SETTLED.

Cleveland, o., August 26.-The
strike Of the wire drawers at the
American wire works may be settled
within the next few days There are
strong indications that the big con-
test. which for some time his threa.
ened to extend to every mill Of the
American Steel & Wire Co., will soon
be a thing of the past. Something
along the line of settlement is brew
ing, but both the strikers and the
company officials are non-committal on
the matter
1t is known that the ice has been
broken and negotiations for a Sc .t,e-
ment of the differences between the
strikers and the company have been
opened
General Manager Shuler of the
American Iron & Steel Co. will make
no statement further than that the
wire mills of the American wire works
will be in operation within short
time.

NOT FOR "TEDDY"

1t is evident that Teddy" Roose-
welt will not run for Governor of New
York.
He says he will only accept the
nomination if endorsed by the whole
Republican party. AS Platt, who is
the biggest part of the Republican
party in New York, is violently, rab-
idly opposed to Roosevelt, it is evil
dent that brave Teddy" will not run
this time.
A Platt leader, arguing against
Roosevelt's candidacy the other day,
remarked, as clincher, that Roose-
welt wouldn't be in there a month I'M
til he had the whole government over
run with reformers. Reformers and
reform, be it known, are things the
Plattites never could stomach. They
couldn't stand the gallant rough rider
They know he would rough-ride over
their machine and smash it utterly as
soon as he got fair chance. That's
just the kind of a man Teddy" is,
and that is the kind Platt doesn' t
want.

The vast sums of money and sup
plies privately contributed to the
army, all Of which and very much
more have been sadly needed by the
troops, are no less a testimonial to
the great generous heart of the nation
than a serious reflection upon the War
Department which made these private
contributions to the ordinary comfort
and welfare Of the troops necessary.
and even then allowed the brave fell
lows to cruelty suffer for lack Of food

WANT TO COME HOME.

Martinsvile Echo.
The Wheeling Register has received
letter from a private in the First
West Virginia regiment, stating that
the privates and non-commissioned
officers, now the war is over, want to
be mustered out Of the service, and
come back to their homes. The COM
missioned officers want to stay, and
threaten the men with court martial
for mutiny if they persist in letting
it be known that they want their dis
charge. 1t is easily understood why
the commissioned officers are opposed
softest snap they ever struck. They
are on a fat salary. with but little to
do, and Uncle Sam for paymaster.
With the private soldier it is very diff
ferent After peace becomes a reality
he has no longer any desire to be
soldier. The drudgery of camp duty
become monotOnous. He has no priv
ileges other than what his superior
officers see fit to grant His pay is
light and rations rough Most of men
would about as soon play weary Willie
as soldier in volunteer command in
time Of peace.

such plea before by the head of

rageous unsanitation has never been
allowed to exist in the camps of for

ing that American soldiers are the
dirtiest and most careless in the world,

false and the vilest SANDER on our

c1tes al little more Inn their
y6l6e . Old paper Is sure 70 come be-
'fore the next Legislature. OF this
scheme the Register has more to say
in another article Sufice 1t now to in
dictate the prominent fact that the g. o.
p. henchmen are planning in advance
how to handle the delicate matter.
The Republican politicians seem to
be hand in glove with the Wall
streeters back Of the old scheme to
blk the State, and would have got
ten it through the last Legislature,
in which they had a majority, had
1t not been fc the strenuous
efforts of the Democratic minority to
defeat the scheme. The Democrats al
ter long and hard fighting were sue
cessful in shelving it for the session.
OF course, it is far from the intention
OF these leaders openly favor the old
scheme. That would never do. 1t
would kill them to hint at such thing.
But there are more places to kill cat
than on a public platform. Indeed,
the 6. o. p. politicians are doubtless
slick enough to pretend opposition
to the scheme in general although they
will continue to talk up certain phases
Of it in particular, which is the insid
icus manner in which the debt schem-
ers have always worked, the most they
expect being compromise, because
whatever they may get from the State
will be all clear gain to them since, as
we have stated, the certificates cost
them but little more than the price of
the paper they are printed on. But
this matter we discuss elsewhere. Suf-
flee it here to say it is a part
OF the G. o. p. programme to put this
thing through by hook or crook

IT'S ELklNs'S FIGHT.

The meeting of the Republican State
Executive Committee at Parkersburg
Wednesday developed the fact that the
Republican campaign in this State this
year is to be of Mr.. E,kins by Mr. Ell
kins and for Mr.. Elkins, and no one
else. The Committee was assembled
by him and made up entirely of Elkirs
men: all others were frozen out; and it
mapped out an Elkins campaign. True,
the Virginia debt matter was discussed
on the quiet but that is side issue.
If the Republican Congressional can
didates think they are going to get as
sistance from the Republican State
Committee this year they will be badly
mistaken. The committee is managed
by Mr.. Elkins, and he is looking after
the interests of no one but his own
man for the United States Senate, and
incidentally for the hold-overs to help
out his own Senatorial aspirations four
years later. The maiden name of Mr.
Elkins Senatorial protege is said
to be Hon. N. B. Scott, who is hot
foot after the plum. In fact, so
Elkins's man gets there he isn't
worried much about who gets TO
Congress The Congressional cam
didates' troubles are their own not Ell
kins's. And they must let the big boss
step on their necks if necessary.

re Informed,
to ascertain $he amount which is justly
>due from thesState OF West Virginia and
which tire creditors of West Virginia
might properly, under the circumstances
be willing to accept in settlement of the
certificates issued by Virginia to repre-
sent the one-third of the debt, incurred by
the original State, which was set aside 10
await an adjustment between Virginia
and West Virginia.
1t is evident that the amount which
West Virginia owes should be ascertained
before the legislature attempts to make
provision for its adjustment. 1t is also
evident that any questions Whicn may
arise should be arranged by a conference
between committee, acting iot the cr3d-
itors, and commissioners appoiated 10y ;he
two States, to act for them
In view of the exceptional features &C
this case, we do not think that either
State should be requested to act until the
creditors have co-operated to insure the
prompt surrender of the certihcates TO
carry out such compromise as may be
agreed to by holders and accepted by the
legislature. 1t is therefore proposed to
duplicate for the creditors of West Vir-
gnia the undertaking which brought
about the recent compromise between the
State of Virginia and the holders of her
bonds To accomplish this object the I'M
dersigned l1aNe consented to act as the
committee in behalf OF holders. and re-
quest you to act IS the advisory board
required by the enclosed agreement, I'M
der which the certificates will be deposit
ed with Messrs Brown Brothers & Conn
pany, of New York city Your acceptance
will be an assurance that the questions TO
be submitted for your consideration will
receive the impartial and intelligent in
vestigation which should be had in mat
ter of this Importance, and you will rem
Ger to both the States involved as well as

province and function will be to examine
such plan of adjustment as.may be form
ulated by the committee and submitted TO
YOU in accordance Herewith, and to eX
press your recommendation thereof or

I'd at any sort of sharp practice.
While this State was under the con-
Hrol Of the Democratic party, the Wall
street spectators learned that it was
useless to present their scheme in the
Legislature, and for many years prior
to the election of the notorious FIRST
Republican legislature in West Virginia
in twenty-five years." the scheme
had practically dropped out of sight
AS soon, however, as the Republican
party had elected a majority Of the
Legislature, the Wall street debt
schemers, seeming brilliant opportun-
ity, swooped down buzzard-like on the
body and by hook and crook actually
got the matter before it, and this I'M
just debt of millions beyond all doubt
would row be saddled upon the taxpay-
ers Of West Virginia, but for the solid
and stubborn opposition of the Demo-
cratic minority, which fought the out
rageous scheme at every point and
finally succeeded in shelving it.
The Register has been industriously
endeavoring to learn how much sin
certify is behind this new scheme to
arrive at a settlement of the debt ques-
ton, but thus far without success.
Suffice it to say that this scheme is to
be brought up again in it's new shape
before the next session of the Legisla-
ture and if it is the same old fraud at
tempted so often in the past and regu-
larly defeated by the Democratic par
ty in the Legislature, it devolves upon
the people to be upon their guard and
to nip the scheme in the bud. The Leg
islature the people are to choose at the
coming election will have sole charge
of the States interests in this matter
and it should be understood that the
people will vote for no legislative can
didate who is not pledged, if elected,
to oppose anything resembling the old
debt scheme. The people of West Vir-
ginia are willing to submit the matter
to an advisory board as arranged for
in the correspondence quoted above, or
to stand by the finding of their own
to no more Wall street trickery or CHI
canery. There must be no lobbying
and everything must be open and above
board. And on this point 1t is no
more than right that they should re-
ceive pledges in advance from the leg
islative candidates
To Democrats throughout the State
the Register would say: See that NO
Democratic candidate for the Legisla-
ture neglects to put himself on record
on this point and let those already
nominated make public statement,
pledging themselves, if elected, to op-
pose this old debt scheme
In the past the Democratic party has
voluntarily opposed this scheme to sad
die an unjust debt of millions on the
taxpayers, already sufficiently hard
pressed, and they fought it as min
GRITTY in Republican Legislature
whose majority were favorable to it.
1t is therefore, fitting Mat the Demo-
cratic party shQpli take the lead
in opposing it is the
same oldx in advance.
