son. 1t may be distinctly said that with
such light as It now has, the United States
commission will consistently and to the
end refuse to assume all or any part OF the
Cuban debt. II they have not already been
so Informed. the Spaninrds will be assured
that the United States has expended enor-
nous sums not to acquire Cuba but to
free It from disastrous conditions for self
government which presupposes the self-as-
sumption of Just obligation. The Span
lards will, II indeed It has not already been
done, have impressed upon them the fact
that by the signature of the protocol they
utterly relnquished all claims Of sover-
eighty over and title to Cuba.
If they have not yet heard It, the Span
iards Will hear the expression Of American
surprise that Spain. having so uncond.-
tionally and unequ.vocally surrendered
Cuba, should now advance a claim or even
suggestion that the United States as
sumo the debt Of the territory. which.
though surrendered by Spain was unsousht
by the United States as conquest prize,
and not now possession of the United
States, and which has been freed by the
United States at a vast expense to the
United States, for independence row or
when matured by self-government. Thus.
possibly. progress has been achieved rega-
lively, for, with the present light. the
Americans decline or will refuse the re-
sponsibilty of q single penny Of the So
called Cuban debt.

Dear to every heart, are the best

ed, and the highest types of patriot
ism and general morality be incul-
Gated and fostered. Martinsburg
has an excellent independent school
system, formulated upon a more than
ordinary plane of practical culture.
with ethical appendages. These
schools need uot only intelligent,
but earnest, heartfelt support. Not
alone the half hearted wishes of
doubling believers, but the earnest,
practical, manly aid, OF the brain
and Drawn of the firm believers. To
this end, the friends of the public
schools, should elect the friends of
the schools. and ON Tuesday next
this becomes duty. Well enough,
if you can 60 to college, be college
bred if you please, but please do not
let that interfere with your helpful
influences in behalf of the lads and
lassies OF your neighbn rs homes, to
whom 10 time, goes the garb of
responsibility. College bred men,
may not want to serve as school Of
ficials, but there are heads of fami-
lies, of good moral tendencies who
will not shirk the duty, energetic,
industrious men, hard working men
of business, from whom to choose.
The old board, with Charles H.
Wolfes, as president, has acted
reasonably we'll for the people, and
for an additional school building to
supply actual, necessary room to the
children, have incurred extra cost,
and possibly, thereby, some opposi-
ton. But, the people own the prop.
erty. 1t is their investment, much
better, than Houses of reformation,
jails and penitentisries, more honor
able and praiseworthy. Don't kick
the old board for doing good. Can't
run the risk of doing worse. Look
ing at Wolfes' large family, his
surroundings, his personal standing
as a citizen, and his high standing
with beneficial orders, we believe he
is worthy of reelection.

West Virginia Coal.

Wheeling, W. Va, Oct. 1S.-
Chief Mine Inspector, j. W. Paul,
of West Virginia, is now preparing
his report fer the year ending June
so, 1898, and a surprisingly fine
showing is made for West Virginia
coal. The total production for the
year will amount to over $4,000 900
tons, an increase of nearly 1900 900
tons over the year before. In Fay
cite alone the increase was over
100000 tons over the preceding
year, and the output was increased
in every county in the State except
Mineral, Mason and Putnam, there
being some falling off in the latter
owing to several tipples being wash
ed away or herwise destroyed. In
Marion TIL rcrease was about 300,-
600 tons.
Over 1860 more men were en-
ployed in the West Virginia mines
last year than during the year pre-
cet ding, and the number of days
worked is considerably in excess of
1861.
