MacCCrkle. The Republican Legisla-
tors tried to pass this bill over The
veto of the Governor, but failed, (ayes
"a, noes 20, absent and not voting s, in
the Housed. Had this bill become a
law, as the Republican Legislature de-
sired it should, it must have inevitably
added five cents, and probably ten, to
the State tax bill Of every voter owning
property.
The outrageous school book law, the
Morgan county iniquity, and the Con-
stitutional amendment outrage are
further and striking examples of Re-
publican indecency, mismana cement,
disregard for the welfare Of the people,
contempt for the Constitution, and de-
termination to go to any extreme to
obtain partisan advantage and secure
the widest possible distribution of the
money of the taxpayers where it would
do the Republican party the most good.
The whole shameful record is one
which should and will arouse the people
to AN appreciation of what has been
done under Republican management in
West Virginia, and as soon as there
is an adequate understanding of all the
facts in the case there will be clean.ng
of the Augean stables at Charleston,
which will be as effective as it is nee
essary.

Call and see the Waldo
Mandolin. 1t excels all
others.

1898, shows that even all the ingenuity
of Republicanism could not get away
with the fat pie so cut by the Republic
can Legislature, and, is proof conclusive
that in attempting to be liberal and pro-
vide enough to go around, the Republic
can Legislature simply acted the
hog And it was so with other mat
tiers, as was fully set forth in the Reg
lister article. 1t was striking illus
tration of Republican legislative and
administrative methods.
But the Register article took up
other matters, and went deep into par
ticulars. TIC the charges no attempt
at an answer has been forthcoming, up
to date. 1t is safe to assume that none
will be made in the future. If such
is in contemplation, by either press or
speakers, we would invite attention to
the subject of extra pay granted and
attempted to be granted by the Repub-
lican Legislature of 1897 to it's officers
and employees. The expenses of the
Democratic Legislature of 1893, for pay
of officers and attaches, was 1924,
while for the Republican Legislature
of 1897 the same items aggregated
$15,729, and the effort was made to
grant further extra compensation, the
resolution to which end was only de-
feated by a scratch. The people of
West Virginia are not SO rich nor so
prosperous that this sort of thing can
go on, unnoticed and unrebuked.
The attention of Republican speakers
and editors Of Republican organs is
again invited to the Military Claims
outrage perpetrated by the Republican
Legislature Of 1897 and if this is I'M
answerable, then to that twin evidence
of gross extravaganza, the Service
Commission bill, which was passed
by the Republican Legislature of 1897,
in an energetic attempt to obtain a
good thing for political ends and ne
cessities, but which was'vetoed by Gov.

The failure of the Republican Legis-
lature of 1855 to make adequate appro-
priations for the transaction of the bus
mess of the State, then still under
Democratic control, and the extrava
CANT, unnecessary and outrageous ap-
preparations by the Republican Legis-
lature of 1897. cannot be explained
away and no attempt has been made to
do so. The record is in, black and
white, and it corNicts the Republican
regime in the State of West Virginia of
shameless use of public position and
of public money for political ends.
Many examples of this were given in
the Register of Monday and they car
1ied with them their own proof of guilt.
An instance was the item of criminal
charges, for which $4,000 was appro-
priated by the Republican Legislature
of 1895, when $240,0On was asked for
and was necessary, according to the re-
port of the Democratic Auditor, Great
ing thereby deficiency of $40 1000. To
meet this deficiency, the Republican
Legislature of 1897 appropriated, not
$4,000, but SIPS 900, not because it was
necessary, bit because it was perhaps
the last chance to work a good thing
under the head Of deficiency" appro-
priations, and all but s21 900 of this ap-
priation was expended. evidently for
the general benefit of the hungry faith
And the very fact that s2O,922.o4 of this
largely unnecessary appropriation. of
the peoples money was left over unex-

The accurate, exhaustive and care
fully prepared exhibit of the methods
pursued and the net result of Republic
can rule in this State, published in the
Register of last Monday morning, has
been read with careful attention by
thousands of voters. and by no one
more attentively than the Republican
managers and the editors of the party
organs, in this city ard elsewhere. 1t
was universally recognized as truth
full exhibit of the exact situation, and
as to nine-tenths of it, there has not
even been, an attempt at an answer, ev-
en- by the Wheeling Intelligencer. Such
counts in the indictment of Republic
canism as the Extra Pay" grab, the
Military Claims" bill, the Home Guard
Claims" the Service Commission, 1.-THE
School Book Law, the Morgan Coun-
ty Bill" the Constitutional Amend
ment" foOlishness, the holding of other
Offices by legislators, and some others,
and may thus be taken for confessed.
There is not even plea of not guilty,
or an appeal to the mercy of the jury
of the people. 1t is the familiar case of
the criminal confronted with unim-
peachable evidence of his guilt, when
only thing to be done is to stand,
no hof ha hYIp al
and await sentence. The masses OF
the Republican party are convinced.
In only one instance has there been
an effort to answer the Registers
statements of fact That instance re-
lates to the financial end of the ques-
ton, and the answer is as lame a
duck as ever attempted to walk. 1t Is
evasive, incomplete and misleading.
Purportirg to be complete refutation
of the charges of extravaganza, mis-
management and incompetency made
in the Register, it is really nothing but
a shuf1le-a juggling with figures, and
desperate, but abortive, attempt to in
raignment merciless in its particular
ity.
The Registers statement of the COM
parative expenditures for 1898 and 1894,
under Democratic rule, and for 1897 and
1898, under Republican rule, was OBJ
tanned with some difficulty, but it was
TAKEN FROM THE BOOKS AT THE
STATE HOUSE, and is accurate to
cent. The tabular statement is here
with reprinted, that it may be again
examined by all fair-minded voters.
The items of expenditure, the totals,
and the excess under each administra.
ton may be compared. The table is as
follows:

M'KINLEY AND PARDOSS.

One OF the things for which Presi'
dent Mckinley will be remembered
is the exercise he has made OF the
pardoning power. During the year
1897 he granted no less than ninety
eight pardons. OF which thirteen were
| to bank wrCckers and cmbczzlers,
Among the most startling cases are;
The pardon Of Harry W. Kennedy,
who wrecked the National Bank OF
Spring Garden, Pennsylvania, by cm.
bezzling the funds of depositors to
the amount of S25o,0OO; Horace O.
Allis, President Of the First National
Bank OF Little Rock, Arkansas, who
wrecked that institution by making
false entries to cover his losses;
Stephen NJ. Folsom, who wrecked the
National Bank at Albuquerque, New
Mexico. 10y a system Of falsiiied nc
counts running over several years;
and Francis \. Collin, who wrecked
the indianapolis National Bank by
mulctlng the depositors to the tune Of
100000.
In not one Of these cases was it
shown that the convicted persons
were wiongfully accused, but i'll
every instance the pardon WIS issued
rs Il result OF influence or sympathy
That President Mckinley should
have been thus leuicnt with this class
OF offenders is surely to be regretted.
Few classes Of crime are more far
reaching or deplorablc in their results
than bank wrecking. This is So, pri-
marily for the reason that the
wrecked bank carries with it the saw
inGs Of the poorer classes; and, Sec
ondly, because it tends to shatter the
faith OF the community in banking
institutions. Again, the man who
wrecks a bank has not the plea OF pc.
nury with which to mitigate his Of
Tense, as he liz, III almost every in
stance, highly salaricd and well fed.
Nor can he plead that his trial was
unfair, rs he is always in Il position,
through rich and influential friends,
to obtain the very best OF legal tai
cnt.
These wholesale pardons OF bank
wreckcrs weaken the faith OF the pco-
pie i'll the justice OF Government.
They tend to make them feel that
there is n discrimination in favor OF
wealth, end that the wealthy can I'M
lock prison doors where others cam
not. 1t is not well that any such
opinion should DO allowed to gain
ground il it is not true, but, il it il
trIc, it is time that the people should
know it.-Sacramcnto Bee.
