There is much injustice to Hon. U.
S. G.. Pitzer in the remarks in which
some persons are INDUCING to the ct.
feet that he or they will "knife" Mr..
Dayton. Such remarks put Mr.. Pit.
ger in an embarrassing position. A
brief explanation will make this per
fectly clear: At the Keyser conven'
ton Mr.. Pitzer pledged to Mr.. Day
ton his earnest support. His utter
auces on that occasion were not idle
words. He meant what he said. To
do otherwise would be to attempt to
deceive that vast assemblage. 1t is
not part of his nature to indulge in
demagogy. He has a future before
him. To practice deception now
would be the heighth of folly. 1t
could not be concealed and would
neutralize all of the efforts he has
made 1t would utterly destroy the
splendid opinion the Republicans
west of the mountains have formed OF
him and forever destroy all hope OF
/ political preferment in the future.
Mr. Pitzer will do as much for Mr..
Dayton as he would have done for
himself just as Mr.. Dayton would
have done had Mr.. Pitzer been nomi-
mated. The true friend of Mr.. Pitzer
is the one who gives Mr. Dayton his
hearty support, then in the very near
future Mr.. Dayton's friends will glad.
i ly reciprocate, for rest assured, the
/ day is not far distant when Z. S, G.
Pitzer will be the Republican stand
ard bearer in the Second District
"the proudest District in this proud
/ Union.

Not the American Variety of Reel
procity.


The joint high commission OF the
United States, Canada, Newfoundland
and Great Britain, after ten days
work, adjourned last Friday, to meet
again in Quebec, September 20. An
official closely identified with the
United States government, and who
has followed the work of the confer
ence, closely, made the following state
ment:
"The labor of the American men,
bers of the commission has been great
" increased by the attitude of the
Canadian representatives on the sub
iect of reciprocity. understand that
they demand as a condition precedent
to the settlement of the international
questions which have long pended
between Canada and the United States
an agreement of some kind in refer
ence to reciprocity, This would not
be so difficult of solution were it not
for the fact that from the newspapers
in Canada and from the impressions
of the public men here it is evident
that the reciprocity into which they
are willing to enter is not the kind
that the American people for the last
twenty years have discussed.
"Since | have been here l have
carefully observed the situation, and
have learned that Canadians expect
the United States to give them an ex.
elusive preferential duty in our mark
cts, while they propose to admit our
goods only upon the same conditions
that the products of Great Britain are
admitted. The Canadian idea is that
in our markets they are TO have an
advantage as against the rest of the
world, while in their markets they
will give us only equal opportunity
to compete with Great Britain"

The Grafton Leader of last week
makes the uuwarranted aud unbound
ed statement that Mr. Dayton says
the old soldiers don't amount to a
drop in the bucket any more. OF
course Mr.. Dayton never made any
such foolish remark, and the old
soldiers don't believe that he did, and
it seems hardly worth the while TO
dignity the above statement with a
denial of it. If the old soldiers are
going to turn their backs on such
friends as Mr.. Dayton has been to
their interests, they certainly will not
turn to the Democratic party for aid
and comfort after their bitter expert
ences under Mr.. Cleveland's admins,
tration. We have too much confidence
IN the good sense OF the old soldiers
TO believe that they will be influenced
by any such demagogy Of the above
assertion of the Leader.-Graft0n Sen

Director Stewart, of the Experiment
Station at Morgantown, is taking
more care to carry out the provisions
of the fertilizer law to the letter than
ever before. A special agent of the
station has just started out to make a
tour wherever fertilizer is sold. From
every lot samples will be taken and
they will be analysed by the Station
Chemist and if not found up to the
standard their sale will be prohibited.
The sale OF fertilizers to West Virginia
farmers amounts to about 10, 900 tons
per annum and costs about $500, 600.
In addition to this it is estimated that
$500, 600 is sold from the mauufactur-
ers direct to the farmer and does not
come under the jurisdiction Of the
station. 1t will thus be seen what an
important item this is and how neces-
sary that every precaution be taken.

Washington, December 31.-The nav
al authorities have long regarded the
provisions of existing laws relating
to the administration of justice defect
i've In that naval courts martial are not
empowered to secure that attendance
and testimony Of civilian witnesses.
1t often happens that important facts
are exclusively known by civilians and
their testimony is required before al
most every important naval court mar
tial 1t rarely happens that witness
ses that can avoid so doing are willing
to appear in such cases. Secretary
Long says that from an examination
into this subject it is clear that con-
gress intended to leave courts martial
in such a position. He has submitted
to the house naval committee Il draft
of bill to remedy these evils without
giving the naval courts undue author
lty.
The first section involves only an
extension to the judge advocate of
naval courts martial and courts of in
quiry of powers now possessed by
judges advocate of army courts. The
section has been drawn in conformity
with the similar design to meet precise
ly the same difficulties which had ari-
sen in the British service providing
for certification for contempt if ne
cessary, to the nearest United States
court for punishment.
