1t is a significant fact that there had not
been for years n recurrence of the anniver-

earnestly or enthusiastically celebrated
as was that Of yesterday. The crisis that

for this revival of interest in the man
whose patriotism was his distinguishing
trait at time when practical loyalty in
volved the courage of ones convictions.

OF Government by injunction.

still the authoritatiyely embodiment OF
Democratic principles contained this
paragraph:
We denounce arbitrary interference by
Federal authorities in local affairs as a
violation of the Constitu ION OF the Uni

cases for contempt.
That brave word needed to be spoken
then and it needs TO be repeated to-day.
government by injunction is proceed
ing to new lengths Of reckless usurpa-
ton. Consider the action Of Judge
Hammond in granting an injunction
against some striking iron workers al

President and Congress, derive all their
powers from the Constitution OF the
/ United States. The Constitution or
dams that Congress shall make no

liveried Judge. ais a constitutional free
dom which not even State Legislatures
can impair, and certainly not strike
organizations, for they surely cannot

The freedom Of speech is also con-
stitutional freedom, and cannot lawful

SPANISH ARMY SCANDALS.

Spain, too, has her army scandals,
although in her case it is rank. rotten,
dishonesty and corruption among Of
ficers and men rather than political
favoritism and rank incompetency in
the war department at home, as in the
case of the American army.
The Spanish troops in Cuba are sim
ply grabbing everything they can lay
their hands on and turning it to their
own private account. They have not
been paid and probably never will be
and are simply stealing right and left
everything in sight. Spanish army
rations are being sold at any price OBJ
tainable, injuring legitimate trade.
Many Spanish soldiers are deserving to
the insurgents Others are being mus
tered out in order that they may re-
main on the island.
If Spain had an Alger to manage heI
army affairs along with her corrupt
thieving officials the case of the Span
ish army would be sad. indeed. But il
is not competency the Spaniards lack
but honesty.

HEAR EN- HOWL.

The Register of Monday, chock full
of impartial political facts and figures
from the State records, an exact repro
duction of the books showing the eX-
tent to which the last two Republican
legislatures-the first in twenty-five
years-had mismanaged the States fl
nances, squandered the States funds
and debauched the government, fell as
a thirteen-inch bomb in the camp Of
the Republican bosses. Along with this
damning array were the figures cover
ing the acts and appropriations OF tile
preceding Democratic legislature, MAX
ing in all a comparative statement u
Democratic and Republican rule in this
State for the benefit Of the voter, from
which there is no appeal for it is SIM
ply the impartial official record itself
1t has, as stated, fallen as a bo1nb
in the camp of the bosses, whose in
COMPETENCY aud worse it lays bare, and
it STRUCK HOME.
1t was amusing TO hear Pecksnni
howl and note his tortured squirmipg
yesterday. Old Hypocrisy was thrown
on his beam ends, so to speak, anu
could only weakly cry "doctored fig
ures," although unable to say where o:
how they were doctored If Pecksn,it
expects his readers to believe that the
Registers magnificent publication o.

distorted, and suppressed figures, he
should not have cOntended himself VITA
the mere vague charge unsupported,
but should have proceeded to show
wherein they were 'garbled,' how dis
torted," and what figures were sup
pressed" But this he did not, because
he could not. He was simply guilty Ut
his usual deliberate falsehood. II tie
Registers statements and figures arg
not absolutely correct, complete and
impartial, then the State records are
not.
Pecksniff also claims that the docu-
ment was published "Cn the eve of tht
election" Is MORE THAN two
WEEKS BEFORE ION the eve o.
election?" Moreover, the document
would have been published seyefa
weeks ago, as was the intention, ha:
not all sorts of obstacles been thrown
in the way of the examination of th'
State records, from which these ex
haustive facts and figures are tran
scribed.

ageanent. It Immediately takes refuge be-
hind the deficiency appropriations. Since
the Legislature OF 1897, this term has
become as familiar in West Virginia as
household words. 1t is to be found in all
published campaign statements and is
the wade mecum of the country school
house spellbinder. During the session
the words were kept constantly paraded
before tie public in large caps, and when
the index to the Acts of 1897 was printed
they were conspicuously displayed as
headlines and so arranged that the casual
observer might get the impression that
they included the principal items of ordi-
nary expenditure"
We prefer to believe that Mr.. Brady
is simply ignorant CT the exact facts
OF the case and we advise him to look
carefully again over the Register of
last Monday and he will see that
very large portion of the fourteen
columns devoted to this resume is
given up to detailed statement of the
deficiency appropriation bill, which is
taken up item by item. Every shred
of this already threadbare defense of
the extravaganza, incompetence and
corruption of Republican management
of State finance is dissected to pieces.
Mr.. Brady should acquaint himself
with the facts and not depend upon
the old time-worn fraudulent subterfuge

a BURNING SHAME

In another column will be found a
brief statement from the Pocahontas
Times which will serve as an eye
opener as to the reason why the West
Virginia troops are kept in the field.
"A poll shows that Of the 1900 men
of the First regiment over 800, or about
two-thirds, are Democrats. The pro-
portion is probably the same in the
Second regiment
If the vote shall be close this year
the absence of these voters may
change the result.
When it is known that Republican
soldiers are granted Burroughs over the
election, while Democrats are denied
that privilege or required to return to
camp before the election, it is seen
how the administration politicians are
turning the patriotism of the people
to partisan account.
What is true of the troops from this
State is true of those from every
other doubtful State. 1t is damn
able outrage upon the soldiers and
their families, upon the taxpayers who
are put to the needless vast expense
of supporting a mighty army in the
field, ard upon the people generally,
the expression of whose will at the
polls it is tkls sought to thwart.
