When a man who has flirted all his life
finally falls In love. he always thinks OF
himself as a victim. and how smart the

The analysis OF tho conditions OF man
ufaetures in the state OF West Virginia
during the year Of 1897. made by State
Labor Commissioner Barton, published
In Thursdays 1ntelllgencer, Is a moot
gratifying exhibit OF tho progress on this
line In the state during the ilrst year OF
the return OF Republican industrial pol
ic!es and OF prosperity. 1t gives q
"blaek-eye."if VIC may, be pardoned the
expression. to the favorite pesslmistic
assertions by our silver friends that
matters arc no better. and to their
enecrlng comments on prosperity"
There is not only q showing which
proves that this state has shared in the
Industrial revival, but the report holds
out great encouragement for the future,
unless state Of war interferes with and
interrupts our national commercial In
terests until peace 10 restored. The
prosperity. which began with the return
Of Republicanism and the consequent re-
storation, OF confidence, has been gradual
but sure throughout the country, and
there is every reason for qualification in
tho showing that In this state 500 estab-
llshments. embracing the leading
branches OF manufacturing industry, re-
port ?2,529 men on the pay rolls on Jan
liary !, 1898. ON increase of almost ten
per cent over tho first OF the previous
January, when there were but 2o,5il
employees. There Is the same gratinca-
ton in the showing that ASS men had
their wages increased and 5000 had
wages that had been reduced restored
to them, while but 3s5 are reported rs
having sustained reductions during the
year.
These figures only cover a portion OF
the advancement which the state has
made all along the line. In the coal in
dustry, the development of oil territory
and in the increase OF the volume Of
trade generally It has been the same.
What the future months have in store
for the country, and how far trade and
commerce will be affected by the dis
turbances growing out OF the Spanish
American trouble, only time can tell. but
the. damage Will be very great.
We're It not for the precipitation OF the
unfortunate situation which >means SO
much in the way Of the interruption OF
our prosperous conditions. there is little
doubt that the present year would make
"a better showing than last year. Until
the conditions took on serious phase
there was every prospect OF a continued
steady Improvement. and West Virginia
would have received her share OF It

that 1t may not last long enough 10 set

In New York the public has ceased to
