tablished last year in this State
It is scarcely less important
than any of the eleomosynary
institutions of the State,-The
class of unfortunate and nf-
hicted people who are intended to
be taken care of at the asylum for
incurables, is not only large, but
are as much the subjects of public
charity and State aid as any other
class of unfortunates. Not only
is this institution destined to house
and comfortably keep n class of
people who are in many instances
unable to maintain themselves, but
under the. present efficient man
agement it is actually effecting
cures in cases that have been pro-

For GoYernor.

Soon the Democrats of West
Virginia, will be casting around for
a candidate for Governor. Loca-
tics will have a good deal to do
with his nomination.
The Fourth District has never
had candidate, and, therefore the
Fourth District can justly lay
claim to the nomination.
Mason county has gentleman
whom she will present to the Con-
vention, who in point of legal learn
ing and political ability, and as
an earnest and forcible speaker is
the equal of any man in the State.
We refer to Hon. James b. Me-
mayer,
What man in the Democratic
party, could command more real
strength and rally more mon to his
support, than Mr.. Manager?
Who could moro ably proclaim
and defend the principles of De-
mocraoy as declared in the Chicago
platform, than Mr.. Menager2
We are saying this, on our own
motion.
The Democrats can't afford to
make any mistakes in their nomin-
atoms in 1900.
We let differences that did not
exist, that were idle and doubtless
worked up for the occasion, con-
troll our actions in 1898.
There is no reason in the world
why we should not have elected a
Democratic Congressman from this
district last year. Either of
two mon could have carried it, and
they are Hon. r. S. Wilson, of
Petersburg, or Hon. James b.
Menager, of Mason county.
There are reasons for this being
true other than by comparing them
with our gallant young standard
bearer, or the other gentlemen who
were mentioned for the place.
Let the Democrats get together
and do some thinking before act
ing, and they will win, for the peo-
pie are with them, and the subject
of this notice had the intelligence
to see it, and the courage to say SO

Before the civil law all men are
equal; before that higher moral
law upon which the civil law rests
there is no inequality. The brutal
assailant of helpless women, be he
white or negro, Malay or Indian,
deserves the fate which generally
awaits him. Sorrow and distress
follows in it's wake, but this law is
memorable.

DRY commission for the Philippines. re-
turned to Manila today from three
weeks trip in the southern islands.
He takes an entirely hopeful view OF
the conditions there. The intelligent
and substantial citizens desire an
American protectorate. The masses
are awaiting the settlement Of the war
in the island of Luzon before declarin g
themselves. They are chiefly anxious
to be undisturbed. The president OF
the town of Santo Nicolas, in the island
of Cebu, said to Mr.. Schurman:

ity. We do not wish to fight. We
would be neutral.
The president of the commission
thinks this declaration fairly expresses
the sentiments of the people in the
southern islands of the archipelago.
Many of the towns there are in the
hands of small bands of Tagals, and
the people fear to indorse American
rule until they are certain that Aguin-
aldo must be beaten. Let them once
be convinced of this, and the allegiance
of the southern islands. Mr.. Schurman
thinks can be secured by diplomacy.
