Two Kinds OF Memorials.

The senate has passed resolution
providing for memorial tablet to be
erected in the capitol at Washington in
honor of the men who lost their lives an
the Maine disaster. This would be
fitting tribute to the country's dead
heroes. It Is proper that the govern
ment should provide this and 1t will be
done. a movement for monument IN
New York, however, has been started by
one of the principal sensational news
papers OF that city. which has succeeded
in getting the endorsement OF leading,
men throughout the country, who are
aiding in the matter Of raising funds.
While such tributes at all times are
proper and right, 1t Is noted that this
particular movement savors very much
OF an advertising scheme. from the man
ner in which 1t Is worked. There IS e
great deal about the Journal in question,
In the literature that Is being published
IN support of the plan. and comparative
ly little concerning the victims whose
memories are to be honored. Above all
the commcndable sentiment the name of
the paper, which is yellow sheet whose
publications concerning the disaster
from the beginning have been disgust
ingly sensational, and have been regu-
lar1y and officially denied, will shine out,
and, judging from the characteristic
methods of the paper in question, the
monument. when erected, will memo
riallzc journalistic accomplishment as
prominently as 1t will the heroism OF the
victims whose sad fate the Journal Is
making commerce of.
Reputable newspapers have engaged
in such worthy movements without sub
ordinatlng the sentiment prompting the
sivers of the fund TO the exploitation of
their own enterprise. But that Isn't the
manner of this yellow journal.
Monuments to the Maine heroes should
BE- erected in many parts of the land,
and they will be. but not for advertising
purposes. The sentiment back of all
such movements should not be lost sight

CHARLESTON, w. Va, May "a
The offices Of Governor Atkinson and
Adjutant General Appleton are the
scenes of much activity these days,
by reason of the organization of the
provisional regiment known as the
Second volunteer regiment from West
Virginia.
As was told by your correspondent
few days ago, $15, ZOO was borrowed
to defray the expense of fully equip
ping volunteers, and the governor was
empowered to borrow as much more
as necessary to fit out the regiment,
so that it will be in better condition
than the first when it left Camp Lee.
Hundreds of applications have been
pouring in since the news went
abroad that another call might be
expected, but like former so-called
patriots, few if any have failed to ask
for shoulder straps, and no one seems
to care to carry musket.

success should he be called to the
field of battle.
1t is generally understood that
O'Brien Moore, editor of the Gazette,
and who came here from Washington
about year ago, will be appointed
lieutenant colonel. Little is known

Our distinguished fellow towns

has been uncertain heretofore wheth

thus used but it is done so now with
his authority. All the machinery of

that does not prevent him from be-
ing the best man in the Republican

Boston is always interesting. Just
now the town Of the ancient Goldfish
is excited over the fear that the
Spanish fleet will lombard her
shores. Every time a thunder show
er breaks over the bay Boston hears
the cannonading of hostile ships.
Forgetful that it is "a long sail from
the West Indies or Spain to Boston,
and that the United States makes
the same provision for the protec-
ton of all coast towns, Boston feels
sure that the minute the Spaniards
begin to do bloody work it will be
in Boston. But Boston need not be
so alarmed. While in it's own eyes
it is the only place to be seen, the
Spaniard would find other towns
along the coast as well as the settle
ment on Massachusetts bay. Bos-
toms vanity is greater than hel

The West Virginia troops, as il
was expected they would, have made
favorable impression in the regio L
round Chattanooga. The Times Of
that city has this to say on the sub
ject:
.'The First West Virginia, con
sisting of twelve companies, 1,00l
men all told, arrived in this city at
$3.50 O'Clock last night from Charles
ton, in three sections of twenty cars
each, over the Cincinnati Southern
rosd. This regiment was placed on
the yard siding and left at 10 O clock
last night for Chickamauga park,
over the Chattanooga, Rome and
Southern road.

This regiment was organized in
1889, and mustered into the federal
service on May TO- The regiment
is made up of companies from the fol-
lowing towns in West Virginia; Par
kersburg, Moundsville, Huntington,
Ansted, Bluefeld, Clarksburg, Mar
tinsburg, and other points. The reg
ment had twelve horses, hospital
corps, and ambulance, but no band.
The men were uniformed and armed
with Springfield rifles
Both the officers and soldiers of
this regiment were remarkably
fine body of men. The soldiers were
from the mountainous districts Of
West Virginia, and barring slight
rusticity of manner, were much
finer specimens than any of the
other troops. They very much re-
sembled Tennesseeans in appearance,
manners and accent, and seemed inn
bued with the idea that they were
out on serious business, and not on
a pleasure trip.

Among them he SAID that the dem
tocrats would carry Martinsburg on
account of the dissatisfaction caus-
ed by the appointments made by
Dayton in that city. This is proven
to be mistaken idea by the returns
from that town which is as usual
republican by a large majority. The
republican candidate had served for
two years and had been elected be-
fore by the Democrats. He an
nounced himself as an independent
candidate and received the endorse
ment of the republicans. Many OF
his friends in the democratic ranks
voted for him and he was elected by
good majority
Pitzer while here also said that
Dayton would get the nomination
for Congress without a struggle. In
this he may also be mistaken and
the nomination may go to Pitzer
or Sturgiss.
