One answer given to this was as follows

rHEIEcIsLArURa SAFE.

The result of the canvass and
recounts up to date has been to
clinch the Democratic hold upon
the Legislature. Already sufficient
cases have been decided beyond
dispute to give the Democrats a
majority on joint ballot of at least
one, giving every seat still in doubt
to the Republicans This much is
settled and conceded on all sides.
The probability is that one or
more seats will be added to the
Democratic side when the final re-
suit is known.
AS it stands the Democrats have
the Legislature on joint ballot be-
yond per-adventure. Whatever
changes may yet be made in the
totals as they now stand can only
increase the Democratic majority.
The Democracy are still celebrat-
ing Thanksgiving! Wheeling

The Next Congress.

The Republicans have only
thirteen majority in the House of
the next Congress; but they expect
to make it at least twenty out of
the first grist of contests.
The Republicans in Congress
never did care much who was
elected by the people to seats in
Congress SO long as they had the
power, by the brute force of num-
bers, to vacate those seats and put
others Charleston Gazette

Cabell county.

The Democrats have won both
members of the Legislature in
that county, on the re-count; but
from some unexplained reason the
court has not issued to those elect
ed their certificates. We hope no
scoundrelism is contemplated, but
the circumstance of further with
holding the certificates from those
entitled to them has suspicious
flavor about the transaction.

IS SILVER DEAD?


There has been a tremendous
hutter in some quarters over the
alleged death of the silver issue.
Republicans and gold Democrats
have made the announcement of
the final exit of the white metal
from politics with great gusto
and confidently declare that new
issues have appeared on the scene
to take the place of the money
question. But they have in reali-
~ little on which to base their
assertions and when their state
ments are Analysed they fall 10
the ground. While it is true that
a handful of northern and eastern
States have ignored the Chicago
platform in their declaration of
principles it is also true that
in Democratic conventions through
the south and west the Chicago
utterances have been reafirmed
with enthusiastic unanimity. A
great majority of the Democratic
conventions this year have left no
doubt of their position on the
money issue and as in the case of
this State have boldly and I'M
equivicalIy reafirmed the princi-
pies of the Chicago platte rm. In
addition to this, ardent silverites
like 'Coin" Harvey, James K.
Jones, Charles A. Towne and VIM,
v. Allen are just now running the
business of the Democratic Ma
tional Convention. In view of
these facts it doesn't look very
much as though the Democratic
party had deserted silver or will do
soin the near future, and the gold
Democrat or Republican who
thinks SO is hugging delusion.
The Democratic party is in the
hands of silver men and it will
take a mighty revolution to wrest
away from them their control.

states that the recount in Lewis

Tolbert, Democrat had majority
of four. It is presumed that Toll
bert has been granted his certificate
This increases the list of Demo-
cratic members of the lower house
to thirty-e eight, not counting Dent,
of Taylor. Dents certificate will
no doubt be held to be valid, and
the placing of his name on the list
of Democratic members will make
it thirty-nine Democrats to thirty
two Republicans.

Labor,s Interest I'm 1t.

Some weeks ago, Samuel Comp
ers, President of the American
Federation of Labor, invited from
the wild-eyed imperialists of the
country some disapproval, by his
remarks in opposition to expan
sion. 1t can hardly be doubted,
however, that Mr.. Gompers cor
rectly reflects the sentiments of
the majority of the organized
workingmen of this country upon
this matter. The more working
men give attention to the subject
the more likely they are to approve
the position taken by Mr.. Comp
ers against annexation.
Mr.. q. w. Perkins, president of
the Cigarmakers' international
Union, now adds his voice to that
of Mr.. Gompers. In a recently
published statement Mr.. Perkins
gives special reason. why the mem
bers of his organization should be
opposed to annexation. In Cuba
and the Philippines large per
centage of the inhabitants are oi-
garmakers, who are without organ
ization and who work for very low
wages. Cigarmaking is one of the
protected industries of the United
States, and, were Cuba and the
Philippines to be annexed, prod
ucts of those islands, cigars includ-
ed, would have to be admitted free
of duty. The result, it is predict
ed, would be generalization of the
cigarmaking industry in the Uni
ted States. The American work
man would be brought at once in
to competition with low grade
Asiatic labor. Another objection
urged against annexation is that it
would tend to lower the standard
of American citizenship, to the
detriment of the American work
ingman, whose object it should be
to keep the standard of citizenship
as high as possible.
While organized workingmen
are generally opposed to the policy
of expansion and are averse to an
nexation, they are not devoid of
sentiment with regard to the is
lands. They are not willing to say
that the Philippines should be re-
turned to Spain. If pressed for an
answer as to what should be done,
they probably would favor the
maintenance of an American pro-
tectorate until such times as the
inhabitants themselves should be
competent to determine the fate of
the islands. But whatever they
favor as the best solution of a very
difficult problem, the trade union
lists of the country very generally
may be expected to oppose any
move looking to the acquisition
and permanent union to this ma
ton of far away territory inhabited
by population whose standard of
labor and of citizenship are lower
than those prevailing in the Uni
ted States.

The Legislature of this State
meets the second Wednesday in

will be in the hands of the Demo-
Gratis and the other in the hands of

but little legislation will be accom-
plished. Certainly nothing of a
political nature will be passed.
Perhaps it is we'll that it is. The

there was law as unfair, and as

far to find it, We will have some
thing to say about its details, and
to point out some of its glaring de-
fects, which, by the way, include
about the whole bill, before the

A question that is likely to arise
in the management of our newly
acquired possessions, is the dispo-
sition of the church property.
Heretofore the Monks acquired a
large amount of property, which
under the rules and regulations of
their government has been under
Catholic control; and by canoni-
cal decree and by direction of the
Pope, which is not only the head
of the Catholic Church. but is SUI
preme in matters of state in Catho-
lie governments, the property thus
acquired and held by those Monks
are exempted from state control.
As the United States recognizes no
such titles to property as that con
frmed by canonical decree, the
question of title will have to be
settled by the United States gov
eminent according to the policy
held by this government toward all
churches alike.
A large amount of the public
domain in both Porto Rico and the
Philippines is in the hands of the
Monks, to the detriment of the peo-
pie generally. This question, it is
safe to say, will be settled in man
ner that will be to the best interests
of the people generally. Certain
it is that the citizens of those
countries will not hereafter be I'M
der the political domination of the
priests of any denomination, but
will be protected in their political
and civil rights, and will be allowed
to worship God according to the
dictates of their own consciences.
