Mckinley Again Throws Down
the Rei1S."

New YORK Herald.
Pity the President had not said more or
written less in his message to Congress!
The early editions of the afternoon pa
pers which distributed the document down
town had a curious effect. Wall street
expected ringing reference to sound
money in the message, and the sheets
damp from the press with their thirty
odd thousand words of mere history and
statistics fell like wet blanket on the
market, causing sharp reaction.
True to his habit of throwing down the
reins, the President in this inspiring mo-
ment of our history has nothing to sug-
gest, takes no initiative, strikes the key
note of no new policy. He merely COL
lates dreary report presenting numerous
facts, and leaves the rest to Congress and
to God. There are some facts, however,
which he does not give.
In the seven thousand words devoted to
history of the war one searches in vain
for any expression of sympathy or regret
for the gallant soldiers lett to suffer, and
many, ALAS to die of starvation and fever
in hospital and camp through official in
difference or incompetence. On this sub
ject which SO deeply moves the heart of
the people. nothing is said. There is no
such word in the message as Alger or
"Algerism'

MIR. CARNEGIE AGAIN.

Elsewhere this morning we repro
duce another pertinent letter from Mr..
Andrew Carnegie on the subject of "ex-
pansion" with special reference to the
Philippines. The communication has
been sent to Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson.
Mr. Carnegie calls the Secretary's at
tention to the fact that Australia now
supplies Dewey's fleet at Manila with
provisions and that it and the countries
on the eastern hemisphere must con-
tinue to supply the Philippines under
the open door" policy because so much
nearer to those islands than the United
States, which among the great Compel
tive agricultural countries of the
world is the most remote from those
islands. India is even nearer to them
than Australia.
What chance of expansion" there
for can there be in the annexation of
the Philippines, especially so far as the
American farmer Is concerned?
AS Mr.. Carnegie says, If the un-
American policy Of the administration
with the "open door" feature is adopted

BRITAIN FEEDS DEWEY.

Andrew Carnegie Gives Secretary Wilson
Another Reminder that Expansion"
viii Not Expand Trade The Foreigner
Gets the Trade, the :. american Pays the
Taxes
Andrew Carnegie has addressed this let
ter to Secretary of Agriculture Wilson,
under date of December 3:
Dear Sir: The good work you are do
ing for the agricultural interests of the
country induces me to call your attention
to the following:
provisions FROM AUSTRALIA FOR
DEWEY'S FLEET
VANCOUVER, B. c.. December AID
vices from New South Wales say that
the steamer Culgon has sailed from Sgd
ney with a cargo of provisions for Rear
Admiral Dewey fleet at Manila. The
cargo consists of 800 carcasseS OF NUT
ton, $50 of lambs, 125 tons of potatoes, 81
tons OF onions and y tons OF carrots.
Secretary Gage finds commercial ex-
pansio a sufficient reason for recanting
his former opinions and becoming an i'm
perialist. Is this sample of the COM
mercial expansion which has captivated
the Secretary, l wonder?
Mr.. Secretary, none know better than
yourself that the open door which the
President has given to the foreigner
means the closed door to the products of
the soil and the mine of your country.
The foreigner gets the trade, the Ameri-
can pays the taxes.
The Philippine treaty is soon to come
before the Senate. Surely every farmer
in the United States can look to you as
the head of the Agricultural Department
to secure a change in the clause which
puts the producers of America. both of the
soil and of the mine. at so serious a dis
advantage. being thousands of miles fur
they away.
"One would have thought that the food
of our soldiers might have been purchased
by the government upon the Pacific coast.
but even San Francisco is thousands of
miles further away from the Philippines
than the competitive agricultural country
of Australia. Even India is nearer still.
AS the New York Tribune justly says:
The Philippines are 1900 miles away far
nearer to other great powers or their pos
sessions than TO us, and belongs to the
geographical and commercial system of
another continent
knowing your strict guardianship of
the interests of agriculture in this coun-
try, beg to lay the subject before you,
knowing that you will give it due atten-
ton. With sincere congratulations upon
your successful work in various direc-
tions, very respectfully yours.
ANDREW CARNEGIE"

MORGANTOWN NOTES.
Special to the Register.


Morgantown w. Va, December T.
The official board of the Methodist
Church at meeting last night de-
cided to build a church at once to cost
$4,000. The old church will be sold
and converted into a business house.
Other churches are interested in the
building move. The Christians have
started the erection of their new
church, and the Lutherans have bought
a lot with the intention of building in
the spring. The Episcopalians are
considering the same move. There
new church will likely occupy the lot
adjoining the Episcopal Hall, on Will
ley street.
A business man of the town went
before the mayor this morning and
took a sworn pledge not to drink any
thing intoxicating until July third
This pledge he took home to give his
wife. Twice before he has taken the
same pledge and it was kept faithfully
every time. He says that the habit
is a disease and that the plan he is
now following is the only one he can
use to leave off the use of intoxicants
The base ball team gave a benefit
at Chapel hall tonight to large audi
ence
A very elaborate dance will be given
at the Wallace House on Friday night
by a number of the we'll known soci-
ETY. young men of the town. 1t will
be the last function of the year and
will have for its patronesses some of
the leading society ladies of the town
and vicinity Visitors are expected
from the neighboring towns.
The county court has bought a steel
bridge to cross Decker's creek, at the
upper end of town, and it will be put
in as soon as the weather will per-
nit.
The town has finished Front street,
which was left all torn up by the paw
ing contractors. 1t was done in ac-
cordance with the specifications and
the town will sue the contractors for
the cost of doing the work, together
with the loss caused by the job being
abandoned.
A banquet will be given by the town
council within a short time to the old
and new councils of Fairmont for the
material aid that was given to them
when the matter of street paving was
first taken up here The banquet will
be one of the finest things that has
ever been given in the town.
A new military company is being or
ganized here and as soon as the re-
quisite number is obtained it will
be mustered into the service. Old
University cadets will make up the bulk
of the company. and the indications
are that it will be the best drilled Or
ganization in the State.
New York capitalists are on the
verge of making large purchases of
coal lands in the western part of the
county, and large developments are ex-
pected to take place in the near flu
ture.
