The following editorial appeared in
the last issue of the Kingwood Argus:
The editorial of the Journal is eth
er getting so careless in some OF his
statements or displaying such mex
cusable Ignorance, one or the other,
that We feel it our brotherly duty to
call him down little. He stated re-
Gently that it was the Democratic pa
pers OF the State that were criticising
the University, and gave out the idea
that 1t was political matter and
that they were doing 1t because Of the
Republican administration. Is 1t
possible that school man like the
editor of the Journal has failed TO see
or learn OF the several pages of very
severe criticism of the University. In
the last issue of the State School Jour
nal, written by j. Russell Trotter, the
editor aud State Superintendent of
Schools, and graduate of the Uni
yersity, and who knows what he is
talking abouts tits the biggest roast
ever given the University by any pa
per, and Bro. Whetsell will hardly
charge the School journal, or Trotter
either, with being Democratic. Then
again, the Charleston Mail Tribune,
the special organ OF the Republican
State administration, has been pub
fishing some severe criticisms OF the
University We could name num-
Der Of other Republican papers, but
1t seems that the Journal editor does
not read the papers.
Then, again, he states that the
largest number of students enrolled Ia
the University under the Democratic
administration was 225, while It is up
to 800 under Che Republican admins
tration. More deplorable ignorance,
and especially on the part OF an ex-

ident, who will likely be unloaded be-
fore very long, and there is no politics
in 1t. The Shepherdstown Register
one OF the ablest Democratic papers
Of the State, publishes strong and
well written defense OF the University
and its President, so it is no use for
the Journal to try TO make a political

The readers Of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreadful disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby des-
troying the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and as
sistlng nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its
curative powers, that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for list of testi-

Magnificent Occasion.

Morgantown did itself proud by
the magnificent manner in which
it honored Captain Chadwick, Ad-
miral Sampson and other distin-
guished visitors.
1t was the greatest day the town
among the hills ever had. Fully
$4,000 people were there and the
parade that was given was one OF
the finest. General Spillman, Of
this city, was the grand marshal and
the Intelligencer, in it's account OF
the days festivities, says Of him:
General b. d. Spillman, of Par
kersburg, as chief marshal of the
parade, was voted the handsomest
man in uniform. Several persons
were heard to remark that he rode
his horse like West Pointer. They
did not know that he is. Us State

DECISION REVERSED.
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania hands
Down and Inter esting Opinion.

A case of great interest here was re-
Gently decided in the Supreme Court
of Pennsylvania. 1t had been sent
up from Uniontown and involved a
fuss between the gas company and its
customers. The company had adj
vanced the price Of gas to be used for
lighting purposes from twenty-five
cents to one dollar and half. The
case was taken into court and the
lower court held that one price could
be charged for gas for heating and an
other for the same gas to be used for
illuminating purposes.
The case was appealed and the SUI
preme court reversed the decision on
the ground that two prices could not
be charged for the same article al
though it might be used for two diff
ferent purposes. The case has arous-
ed great interest at Uniontown and
many people here have been interested
in the outcome.

WAS CLEARLY A VIOLATION.
SOLICITATION OF FUNDS FOR THE
OHIO CASTPAIGN.

Civil Service Commission Decides
That BurdeIrs Circular Comes
within the Remedial Provisions of
the Civil Service Law-Sustained
in This Conclusion by ex-senator
Edmunds-POstOifice Can Not BE
Used for Such solicitation.
Washington, Oct ga long official
statement reviewing the legal phase Of the
political assessment question, and holding
that the soliciting of campaign funds by
letter comes clearly within the remedial
provisions of the civll service law, was
made public by the Civil Service Com
mission tonight.
The commission made the statement be-
cause OF circulars sent out by w. e. Bur-
dell as treasurer Of the Finance Commit
tee of the ohio Republican State Execu-
tive Committee, soliciting contributions
from federal employees,
The commission says the Ohio circulars
bring up clearly the question 30 long await
ing judicial determination as to whether
the soliciting of contributions for politi-
cal purposes by means of letters address,
ed to federal officers or employees at their
offices constitutes an offense under the
twelfth section of the civil service act.
The commissions ruling or brief now
made public was submitted by President
Proctor of the commission to ex-senator
George f. Edmunds of Vermont, who was
chairman Of the Senate judiciary commit
tee at the time the civil service act was
passed. The latter says in his opinion, to
which the commission gives particular sig
nihcance:
"I entirely agree with the conclusions
stated in the brief 1 think 1t is clear that
the solicitation Of such political aids by
means of the postofdce is distinctly within
the prohibition of section XII Of the act
to which you refer The language
of the section is, that no person
shall, in any room or building, etc, So
licit in any manner whatever, etc. II is
not that no person being in room or
building shall solicit but 1t Is that no
solicitation shall be made in any such
place, no matter where the person max
ing the solicitation may be-"
After quoting this letter. the commits
sion says: Sending through United
States mails of a letter addressed to ar
officer or employee OF the government a,

money for any political purpose, consti-
tutes a solicitation of money for that pur-
pose"

Chicago. Oct. pa special to the Times
Herald from Washington says
The United States has demanded from
the government of Russia, Germany and
France assurances that in their division of
China into zones of political domination or
spheres of influence, the trade rights Of
citizens of this countrv shall be fully re-
spected. These demands are pretty sure
to be acceded TO, and as soon as the neces-
sary correspondence can be passed be-
tween Washington and the three europe n
capitals it is not doubted that tbs desired
assurances wiz be given by The govern
ments named In fact the tacit under
standing TO this effect already exists and
little remains to be done but to decide up
on the form in which the assurances shall
be given.
There was some little surprise in diplo-
matlo circles when the demands of this
government were presented through the
embassies here but no sign of extreme
displeasure or of intention to resist was
manifested in any quarter. This move for
making sure of our status In China for in

would be respected under the proposed re-
arrangement of actual authority along the
coast of China was entered upon by the
administration in no light or casual man.

EMPEROR the MOVING SPIRIT.
Responsible for the Agitation for
Increase OF the Navy.

Responsible for the Agitation for
Increase OF the Navy.
Berlin. Oct. 29.-It is asserted in quar-
ters usually reliable that Emperor Will
liam is the sole moving spirit in the new
naval programme. The present agitation
was undertaken without first consulting
the Bundesrath, and really against tho
wishes of that body.
The Emperors speech at Hamburg on
the occasion of the launching
of the new battleship Kaiser
Kari der Crosse was designed, it is said
not only to criHcise the Reichstag, but
to censure the Bundesrath, which has not
followed His Majesty's urging, particu-
iarly Bavaria and Wurtemburg, whose
representatives. in the federal council have
hitherto opposed the Kaiser's naval ambl-
tons.
His majesty still, according to the same
informant. intends to crush out all oppo-
sition in both Bundesrath and Reichstag
by a great popular agitation set on foot by
the inspired article published yesterday
by the Nordeutsohe Allegerneine Zeitung
asserting that Admiral vons Tirpitz Sec
retary of the Navy, has received the EN-
peror's sanction TO project an enormous in
crease Of the navy.
The imperial chancellor, Prince Won Ho-
henlohe, is said to be very indignant.

Mafeking, dated Oct %, says:
"A bombardment of the city was COM
menced by the Beers at 7:40 o'clock this
morning from a range of two and a half
miles, by a battery Of three Krupp guns,
throwing seven, nine and twelve-pound ex-
plosive shells.
AT the beginning the craftsmanship was
erratic, but ultimately the gunners got the
range and sent a number of shells into the
town.
Comparatively little damage was done,
A convent, which had been converted into
a hospital, was the chief sufferer. three
of the shells striking the building. The
ammunition used by the Beers was ap-
parenty of an inferior quality There were
no casualties.
"The British returned only one shot,
which, being well directed disabled one
of the enemy's guns.
After three hours the Beers sent an en-
voy to ask if the town was prepared to
surrender. Col. Baden-Powen replied In
the negative but the shelling of the town
was not resumed"
A later dispatch from Mafeking, dated
Oct q, says:
"The Beers are in possession of the wa
ter works and have cut off the supply.
This occasions no anxiety, because ample
supplies are available in tanks and wells.
During a sorte this evening the Brit
ish encountered the enemy three miles off
10 the north. The Beers had apparently
been warned and returned our fire in earn
est with a well-handled machine gun. AS
our men had no intention of pressing an
attack they retired Immediately.
Commander Sydney Webb was severe
ly wounded and left behind during the re-
treat but was afterward rescued by
Trooper Stevens. The conduct Of our men
was splendid. The enemy's loss could mol

NEW TREATY WITH SPAIN.
Negotiations Looking 10 It VIII Be
Conducted al Madrid.

COhuucte0 NJ m0driu.
Washington, Oct. 29.-An understanding
has been reached by which It is expected
that negotiations will be opened soon at
Madrid for a new treaty between the
United states and Spain. This win be the
last step towards completely restoring the
friendly relations between the two coun-
tries.
The war with Spain swept the old treaty
out of existence, and the only interna-
tional agreement now In existence is the
peace treaty, which Is confined to the
no reference TO commerce, navigation, ex-
tradition and other manifold relations be-
tween nations IN times Of peace. The
coming negotiations will be for the pur-
pose of forming such a treaty of COM
merce, amlty and friendship. The pres
ent condition is quite anomalous, as there
Is no basis on which persons could be ex-
tradlted from one country to the other, or
for the determination Of any commercial
difference which might arise. Fortunately
there has been no case occasionin8 seri-
Gus differences.
Both sides expect that the new treaty
will be great Improvement on the old
one, which was an antiquated document,
dating back to 1895, with many of its pro-
visions devoted to the boundary between
Florida then a possession of Spain, and
the United States. Save for the Gushing
protocol 1t had been impossible to frame a
new treaty satisfactory to both sides, and
it remained for the war to dispose OF It
and thus open the way for a modern
treaty.
IL had been thought that the Duke DAT
COS would conduct these negotiations with
the state department here, but the minis
ter Is rather relieved al the understanding
that the work will be carried on, at Mad
rid. The United States minister there Mr..
Belamy Storer, will oct for the United
States
