THE RESOLUTIONS
Adopted by the G. a. X. Encampment at
Huntington

Adopted by the G. A. X. Encampment at
Huntington
Following are the resolution adopted
by the Stale encampment, G. A. r., at
Huntington:
The department of West Virginia,
Grand Army OF the Republic. in its
sixteenth annual encampment assem-
bled, declares the following:
Whereas. During: the past few
weeks of intense national interest. the
President of the United States has been
subjected to unkind and uncalled for
criticism, rejecting upon his judgment,
sincerity, courage and patriotism;
therefore
Resolved, That we here express and
place on record our fullest confidence
in the candor, courage and high pa
triotism CT President Mckinley. and
that we recognize in him tried and
true soldier and commander of the
Grand Army of the Republic and one
in every way worthy OF the exalted
station he occupies
Resolved, That as old soldiers or
the war of 1861 we regret and deplore
a state of war and would have re-
joiced if the end sought the establish
ment of righteous law and the freedom
of an enslaved people, could have been
secured and the honor of our flag and
nation sustained by peaceful measures;
but since all such measures and efforts
have failed and we find the nation to-
day involved in actual war with the
Ionlt n q
that fidelity to the honor and interests
of our country, our obligations to the
oppressed and outraged people or
Cuba, the dead heroes Of the sunken
Maine, and our wider responsibility to
the whole World and a Christian CIV
ilzation calls for vigorous prosecu-
ton and a speedy ending of this pend
ing war. we hereby pledge to the Pres
ident, Congress and the whole govern
ment our earnest and active co-opera-
ton and fidelity, and if need be our
cheerful services as volunteer soldiers
of the republic.
Resolved, That our Senator'S and
Representatives in Congress be, and
they are hereby requested. to use
their efforts and influence to secure the
erection of a suitable monument to
mark the battlefield of Philippi, in this
State it being the first battle OF the
war for the Union.
Resolved. That the charges OF frauds
in the pension roll and against pen
sioners so often and frequently made
throughout the country, is absolutely
and unQualifiedly false, and that we
heartily commend and endorse the
action of individual posts in resenting
this cowardly and infamous charge.
Resolved. That we hereby return our
thanks and express our appreciation
of the courtesies extended to this en-
campment by the various railroads OF
the State.
Resolved. That to Bailey Post No. 4,
and the citizens of Huntington, we con
yey our thanks for kindnesses extended
to the encampment and pleasant enter
tainment provided during our session.
Resolved. That we disapprove Of the
course of Pension Commissioner Evans,
and call upon the President to remove
him from office

been Strengthened out satisfactorily
another hitch, also raised by the
Governor. who has engaged in need
less dispute of authority with the War
Department, is likely to cause still fur
Their embarrassment The department
ordered the West Virginia troops mob
ilized at Martinsburg. But this did not
suit our "Commander-in-C Chief who
sent word back TO the department that
he had ordered them modified at
Kanawha City and that he would not
change that order. Senator Elkins en-
War Department, but Secretary Alger
stated that the West Virginia troops
must be modified at Martinsburg In
pursuance with the plans of the de-
partment. But our doughty Com
mander-in- Chief" at Charleston re-
NAMED equally firm and again de-
clined to mobilize his forces anywhere
but at Kanawha City. And there the
case stands at the present writing.
AS the War Department is not likely
to change its pans OF modifying the
United States army to suit the whlm
of our cratic executive, whose one
regiment is even yet not certain
quantity. there is a strong POSSIBLE
ity that the Mountain State will not be
in the American army en-
gagged in the Spanish war This might
not have any effect upon the result of
the war, but it would have a very pow
erful effect on the people of West Vir-
ginia, who would justly consider them
selves and their patriotic impulses mis-
represented betrayed and disgraced

REEADSTUFFS AND STOCKS.

1t is rare that breadstutfs and specu-
latve stocks advance in prices at the
same time AS rule. what will en-
nance the value of the one will lessen
the value of the other: yet just now
we find breadstuffs and all food pro-
ducts. which are naturally on big
rise on account of war demand, fol-
lowed closely on the upgrade by Wall
street stocks, to the chagrin and sur
prise of the bears.
The general selling movement in
Wall street at the beginning of hostil-
tiles is doubtless responsible for the
later rise in stocks They rapidly ac-
cumulated in strong hands, and the
bears who began operations premature
" have been driven to cover, with
the result that prices have been forced
UP all along the line.
Wall street very frequently goes by
contraries.

That is the kind of investment the

looking for. And when it comes down
to raking in mere paltry three per
cent.-no more than the regular bank
rate-the patriotic money iugglers are
anxious to step aside and magnani-
mously give the common people a
chance for investment
And thes- financiers, bear in mind,

the single gold standard under the plea
of upholding the national honor!'

OUR MILITIA TANGLE.

The able gentleman who presides
over the destinies of this State from
the executive mansion at Charleston,

forces into a. tangle in the present en-
listmenfs proceedings, the end OF which
no man can foretell, has decided not
to persistsin disregarding wise counsel.
and will not make the proposed
changes in the; officers of the National
Guard. These changes, if adhered to-,
would have resulted not only in
the waste of thousands of dollars
of the Statte'sl funds, used in transport
ing and carin g for the troops, but in
the final bsofute refusal of the troops
to yolu1tteeE at all under the call of
the Preside Mt. while the ultimate re-
suit might Fave been the total disrup-
ton of the National Guard as at pres
emf organized in this State
This would not have been from any
lack of patriotism on the part OF
the State troops. Quite the contrary,
for the boys are to man eager
and enthusiastic to ~olunteer. The
whole IN. u cdpate mix-up and
tanale wass due solely to the grossly
imnractical ideas on the subject enter
tanned by thtA Governor. Some OF MT.
Atkinsor's critics attributed his atti-
tude TO stub bornness. while others
claimed il was the result of desire to
reap some cheap political advantage
nv advancing political favorites over
tried. experienced and faithful officers
at the expense of disorganizing and
disrupting the State militia organlza-
ton. We leave the people to form
their own conclusions as to the mo-
tive of the Governor fIOm the facts in
the case.
The friction began at the start in the
imnracticai effort of the Governor to
recruit one regiment out of the entire
State troops and to organize 1t anew
A. schcolboy might have seen this
would create great and entirely need
less friction and dissatisfaction, since
the militamen wished to retain their
own officers whom they knew and had
confidence in and who were familiar
with the men. and naturally kicked
against these being superseded by
strangers. But the Governor appar-
hot
human side and are not mere fighting
machines that may be handled as eff
fectively by strangers as by their own
tried and trusted officers. Hence his
reported determination to elevate Col
Casteel of the Adjutant General s office
over the head of Col. Smith, OF the
First regiment, instantly brought from
the troops the declaration that they
would refuse to volunteer if the Gov
ernor carried out his action
All of this veXatious and possibly
disastrous ENHANCEMENT would have
been avoided if the Governor had pur-
sued the simple and common sense
plan Of calling upon one regiment and
recruiting it to its full strength OF
200 men from the other regiment or
from volunteers among the citizens,
leaving the original officers in charge
This would have given no cause Tor
complaint among officers or men and
would have expedited matters greatly
