The Elkins ~whippers-in have scored
a victory in securing the caucus nomi-
nation of Mr.. N. B. Scott, of Wheeling.
If this suits the Republicans of West
Virginia it certainly suits the Demo-
crats-politically speaking. Mr.. Scott
is not the best man in his party in this
State by about 100, 900, and his election
will simply give Mr.. Elkins another
vote and extend his political power, but
Mr.. Scott was the choice of the bosses
and the bosses run the affairs of the
Republican party. Now let us see if
certain high-minded Republican mem
bers of the Legislature will support
him.

The city financial statement is a

amount of the city debt because the
ring couldn't help it and was compelled
by the vote of the people to abandon it's

debt in order that it might spend the

Now that it has been proven that
Kelly, of Observation-Disclosures
fame, was a mere trickster and a base
fraud, the world will be more than
ever ,skeptical. 1t is a glorious triumph
for the scoffer. Kelley accomplished
all his marvellous feats by the very
ordinary means of compressed air con-
tanned in a mighty steel cylinder be-
meath the floor of his work shop" and
connected with it by tubes. Kelley
lived like a king on other peoples
money until the end. Oh, for another
Dickens to fittingly portray this latest
gigantic human fraud

Much pressure is being brought to
bear on Gov. Roosevelt to commute
the death sentence of Mrs. Place, muir
deress, to life Imprisonment. There
is an unconquerable aversion in the
minds of most men to the legal killing
of a woman. 1t is not easy to explain,
except on the ground that men do not
hold women always responsible, but it
will always be SO.

Bishop Potter, of New York, has
brought the temperance folk about his
ears by asserting that saloons under
existing conditions are a social neces-

temperance people usually begin at the
wrong end Of the reform, to accomplish.
which they should aim to alter the con-
ditions of which the saloon is merely
an adjunct and not the cause.

SLOW WORK.

A contributor 10 the London Free
thinker calls attention to the fact that
the efforts for converting Jews TO
christianity" are largely a failure.
The London Society engaged in this
enterprise had last year an income OF
G37 500, while about c 40 more was ex-
pended, adding that much TO a previous
debt Of about f10OO0. The two secre-
tarles Of the society draw a salary Of
fS2S annually, and other employees are
proportlonally well remunerated.
In England the society has 100 sta
tons and 81 agents, besides numerous
voluntary helpers" The chief work
seems to be the distribution OF tracts.
In London alone were distributed dur
ing the year 60 Bibles. AS parts OF BIZ
bles, Az New Testaments, and LIZA
tracts. And what Is the result? In
London not a single convert was made
during the year. For the entire Eng.
land, twenty-elght converts were re-
ported, twenty Of whom were children
secured In some way or another; and
four were probably paupers, glad 10 re-
ceiye the financial aid of the society
The result Of the years work. as far as
England is concerned. Ia then narrowed
down to four converts.
There is nothing strange about this.
Judaism Of today Is a good deal more
attractive than Professionalism. Its theo-
logy is more Ineligible and its rites,
or rather absehce OF rites, are more In
accordance with the Ideals Of modern
worship. Why should a Jew leave the
religion Of his fathers for faith that
Is farther removed from the Christian
ity Of Jesus than is Judaism itself?
Besides, ancient prophets clearly pre-
diet that the conversion Of the Jewish
people en- masse win take place only at
the appearance Ia power and glory Of
