F,,ncb Canadian, Embarrassed.

The French Canadians are fearful
that they will be placed in an embarras-
sing position in the event of a war be-
tween England and France. Whlle'ioyal
to the British government Of Canada
they are SIN faithful at heart and in
sympathy to their mother country. This
natural affection Is sometimes stronger
than political obligations with some ma
,lonallties, but 1t is not always so. We
have witnessed In this country, on more
than one occasion. the pleasing fact that
our good citizens Of foreign extrac-
ton and birth do not let this iilial af-
lection interfere with their obligations
and loyalty to the country of their adop-
ton. Notably was this the case within
the past few months, when at one time,
4, was thought Germany might interfere
with our naval and military operations
in the Philippines. The natural feeling
for the Fatherland did not prevent the
German American cltizeas from express
Ing themselves frankly and with Amerl-
can spirit as to that matter. A great
source of strength of this nation lies in
the fact that citizens OF all classes and
predictions are loyal to America
against all the world and under all
proper circumstances.
While trouble between England and
France might be somewhat embarrass-
Ing to the French Canadians 1t would
not alter the situation, nor would It
affect the attitude OF Canada, Canada
would not be the seat Of war, nor would
It likely, by any possibility, be involved
In the disturbances. Canada, in spite Of
her French citizens. will be loyal to
England.

Bo.,,ias Wtlhou, Reason.

There is a great deal Of Boosting go
ing on in the state Democratic press
about Democratic success in West vlr-
ginIa. Just what the boasts are based
upon they do not state It is a re-
mlnder OF the indulgenees Just previous
to the election of 1886, when the free
silver tidal wave and Organism were
going to sweep the Republican party al
most out of existence, and cause the
nag Of Democracy to float triumphautIy
over West virginia. There Is no evil
dence that the Democracy has presented
to the voters OF West Virginia any par
ticular reason why they should elect a
Democratic legislature or a Democratic
delegation to Congress. Why, in the one
instance, they should return to the
Democratic days of shortage, deacIencss
ana acknowledgement, as shown by a
table published elsewhere. or why, on
the other hand. they should Change
nurses while crossing the stream" Of Re
publican responsibility for the policies
and mighty results of the war. They
will sustain the administration.

at think the most thrilling ezperl-
enco I ever passed through was in New
York city one time" said James o'Neill
to Lewiston Journal writer, when
quite By accident number Of foreign
diplomats from Washington, few
American statesmen, some prominent
New Workers. and one or two Of US pro-
fesslonals were gatherd together in a
smoking room OF the Fifth Avenue h0-
tel, when somebody asked Booth, who

searching expression that Booth shot
out OF his dark eyes. They seemed TO

whom they were directed, and then, as
II satisfied. resumed their wonted vac
uous density.

Important 10 Voters.

Elsewhere will be found an important
table of figures which tells a striking
story of the comparative merits of the
last Democratic Observation-Disclosures
the present Republican state admins
tration. They are balance sheets which
should demand the attention of every
voter and taxpayer in West Virginia.
In nutshell the voter is given the
opportunity to see exposed the misrep-
resentation which occupied several coll
umns OF the so-called state Democratic
organ of this city on Monday. That
publication was issued as a campaign
document to deceive the taxpayers who
have not at hand the means of verifying
or proving false the manipulated fig
ureS garbled from official reports.
The table shows how completely the
effort to deceive was nothing more than
a boomerang, the force Of which re-
bounds upon the Democratic genius
who compiled the Reglster's macs of
information, and will rebound upon the
party.
In the campaign for the legislature let
the voter who pays taxes note carefully
the comparative balance sheets and form
his own judgment. 1t is not a matter
to be thrown aside. 1t concerns every
citizen. 1t gives the correct account of
two stewardships. and is but 1.-THE Of
what can be shown on the same line.

so,;o Coming to Time"

It Is relief to know that the haggllng
of the Spanish peace commissioners over
the Cuban debt matter has been prac-
+lcally brought to an end by the resolute
and final refusal Of the commissioners
from the United States to assume this
or any other financial obligation Of
Spain. This is the conclusion that every
one expected from the beginning, for
every one knew that Spain was simply
playing for delay, hoping that her states
men and the French sympathizers could
in some way or other work on the gem
erosity Of this country or bring Eu-
ropean influences to bear. The delay
was secured, but nothing was gained
by 1t.
This lengthy attempt to force the Gu
ban debt question has been treated
cautiously by the American commits
sIoners until their patience and the pa
tlenceof the administration at Washing
ton were exhausted, and the ultImatum,
which has put an end to the matter and
forced Spain to accept the inevitable, as
she must accept all other demands, was
rendered. with the exception Of certain
minor details the principal matter now
40 he decided relates to the Philippines
This means more hasGlIng, more plead

end In the meantime there are intlma-
lions that hostllitIes may be renewed
not particularly because Spain desires 1t

which may welcome annIhllation rather
than To md itself humIIntcd By having

her own short-sighted policy, to either
meet or repudiate.

About c,mpaign Funds.


Our neighbor the Register IS pleading
that the reason that the Democratic
party hasn't much OF campaign fund
is that IL has no rich contributors to put
up the cash-thus admitting that It Is
not matter of vIrtuous opposition to
having campaign fund that prompts
its denunciation OF the Republicans for
having, as 1t alleges, some money to pay
the expenses Of their campaign, though
the amounts named by the Register are
unknown to the Republican managers.
The Registers hypocritIcal pretensions
are causing even Democrats to laugh.
There is an assumption Of virtue which
every one who knows anything abOutthe
methods of the Democratic leaders Of
West virginia knows is ridiculous.
In the Registers falsehoods about a
corruption fund" held by the Republic
cans, whohaven't ACKNOWLEDGMENT
such a thing, It simply raises the sus-
plcIon that it is fearful that Democratic
voters are purchasabfe. This is an in-
suit which the latter will likely resent.
In the meantime, we presume as we
have previously remarked, that II the
Register should discover that Mr.. Nc
Graw, or Mr.. Neal, or Mr.. Blair, or
Judge johnson. two Of whom are direct
ly concerned in banks and great cor
porations and other financial institu-
lions, or any OF the Democratic candi-
dates for the United States senate, are
spending a dollar, or have contributed
any money for the expenses Of the cam
palgn, they may look to be read out OF
the party, for has not the Register de-
clared that money in policies is only
used to "debauch the ballot box?"
What the object of the Democratic COM
mlttee is in soliciting campaign contri-
buttons nobody knows, for the Register
will not countenance money in the CAM
paign. Besides, there is no use for It,
since there IS no issue but abuse. Free
silver and free trade are left-completely
abandoned, and substituted for them
are prejudice and falsehood. These are
expected to carry the election in the
absence of tangible issues, and without
money and without price.
Finally, our contemporary declares, as
gravely as II 1t expected to be believed,
that the Democrats have no money be-
cause they have no wealthy class, no
one interested In monopolies, no repres-
entatIves on Wall street, &c The alb
surdtty Of this declaration Is so plain as
to be apparent to the most ignorant.
The wealth Of this country is not ex-
ciusively possessed by one political
party. Our millionaires, our progress
slye capitalists, our manufacturers,
bankers railroad owners, mine owners.
and all those Interested In the industrial
and commercial enterprises, as well as
the "Wall street sharks" are Demo
cratic and Republican. AS to West VIr-
glnia, to intimate that all the capital
that is developing our magnificent re-
sources is Republican reflects on the
public splrltedness and enterprise of
distinguished Democrats Of wealth who
are supposed to be doing something in
this line. They have also been known
to llberally contribute to Democratic
campaign funds. Where are they this
year?
