penherg, the substance Of which is that
"the baoksliders Of 1896 (the silver re-
publioans) will be put OH probation in
1900, and only those who have been
faithful in dire times will be rewarded
by the republican party next year."
The Gazette has never published a
letter from Mr.. Knippenberg and,
while 1t highly esteems that gentle.
mans republioanism, this newspaper
must take issue with him il he argues
that anyone shall be taken into the re-
rublion party OIL probation. The party
wants recruits in order that it's princi.
Piles may triumph and be put into force
and effect, and the only way it can
gain them Ia by receiving into good fell
lowship every man who subsoribes to
the republican platform. As Col. W.
II. Sanders said last year, ''it makes no
difference what a man was III '96; the
question Ia, Is he a republican now.
That il where The Gazette, whose re.
publicanialm cannot be questioned,
stands, II took this stand last year and
had the pleasure of seeing nearly every
silver republican in this county return
to their first love and battle loyalty, on
the st, Louis platform, for republican
success. And they will do SO again
next year, despite the avowed intention
Of Mr.. K%nippenberg to prescribe them.
He will practically stand alone IT he
attempts it. while the republican party.
reunited and r%ejuyenated, will march
on to victory in the state and nation.
And the Helena Independent, if it is
honest. will give the same prominence
to correcting the impression that The
Gazette Is in favor of prescribing silver
republicans, as it did to the charge.

WEST VIRGINIA COMMISSION
Ofthe National Export EXPOSE

And Makes an Appeal to West Virgin.
fans That the Resources Of the State
May be Properly Exploited-The
Commission Talks Nicely about West
Virginia and Her Resources.


To the Editor OF the New DOMINION:
PHILADELPHIA, July, 17-As you
know there will be held in the city of
Philadelphia the coming fall Ma
tional Export Exposition, which Ex-
position is primarily for the advance
ment Of American Manufactures and
the extension of the Export Trade;
every line Of American Manufactures
or products that can or might be ex-
ported are to be exhibited.
Representative from Chambers OF
Commerce and other Commercial or
CARNATIONS all over the world will be
present, and you can readily see the
far reaching Importance TO the ad-
vancement of our country, particular
ly to the Export trade this Exposition
will be.
1t is unnecessary for me to call your
attention to West Virginia's resourc-
es-you know them. 1t is conceded
fact that West Virginia is compare
BILE with no State in the Union save
Pennsylvania in her coal and coke in
dustries, and in timber land and oil
and gas comparable with none, not to
mention other industries that are in
herent to the State, and it is but fit
and proper that these vast industries
should be properly represented aud
placed before the many thousands Of
people from all over the country that
will attend this Exposition and Com
mercial Congress.
You are fully aware of the fact that
to properly demonstrate these indus
tries and to have the State properly
represented funds are necessary and
it is with a view to having you bring
this matter before the attention of
your readers, and start popular sub
scription through the medium of your
paper toward the fund for the defray-
ing of the expenses incident to prop
er presentation of West Virginia's
claims for recognition for her products
and manufactures In the markets of
the world that this letter is written
You.
1t is felt that your we'll known
and deserved pride in your State and
her industries will appeal far strong
er to you and your people, than can
any words of mine. From present in
dications it would seem as if it would
require between five and ten thous-
and. dollars for the Commission to
properly demonstrate West Virginia's
claims.
Trusting that you may bring this
matter to the attention of your read
ers, and hoping that they may realize
the Importance of this Exposition and
the consequent good that will inure
to West Virginia through compre-
hensive and proper exhibit Of her in
dustries, and accordingly respond with
that well known generosity that is in
herent in the people OF your State; l
am,
Yours very truly

KINGWOOD END.
Journal Tells How Things are
Looking Over There.

Morgantown and KiDgweod Railroad
is the housekeeping Is Safisfae
tory-They are Well Pleased With The
Progress That is Being Made-Ses
Depot site and the Questions invoI-
we'd.
The Kingwood end OF the MorgaE
town and Kingwood railroad is told Of
as follows by the Journal Of that place
in the current issue:
Work on the Morgantown and King
wood Railroad was commenced last
week and is being pushed as rapidly as
possible. There are three squads of
hands on the route now. They are
grading and clearing away all obstruc-
lions on the old Black Bottle road
One OF the main causes Of delay is the
scarcity of hands. The company is IN
need of hundreds of hands and only a
very small number can be gotten yet.
Mr.. J. Ami Martin is East this
week looking after an engine to use in
the construction train. AS soon as
they get the engine to do the hauling
of ties and rails the work OF laying
track will begin. The promoters have
made arrangements by which the
B. & o. are to furnish the ties and
the work will be completed as far this
way a. Reedsville by fall. About ten
miles Of the road bed was graded for
the old Black Bottle and four miles is
In beautiful grade which makes the
work very easy for fourteen miles this
way.
In talk with one Of the promoters
this week we were informed that by
the summer of 1900, Kingwood would
hear the whistle OF the M. & X. en-
CINE in their town. The company is
anxious to build the depot at King
wood in easy access. The people of
the town will have to make some con-
cessions in the way of free right of
way. 1t is now time for the town peo-
pie to look to their interests and not
allow another railroad depot built one
mile out of town.
What will the property owners do?
VIII they ask big prices for the right
of way and drive the company away
from town? The location picked by
the company for the depot is back of
d. r. Jackson's hardware store on the
property Of Mr.. Jas. A. Brown. The
location of the depot in that part Of
town would save the people hundreds
of dollars in the course of a year and
be of great convenience.

HOW 1T FEELS
To Go Over a Bank In An En-
CINE.
Some Old Railr0aders Give Their Ex-
perience to Reporter--Don't Have
Time to DO Much Thinking after it
Begins.
Parkersburg Sentinel.

Parkersburg Sentinel
A trio of engineers were seated on
a bench at the round house, yesterd; y
afternoon, talking over the railroa d
business in general, and wrecks n
particular when a Sentinel reporter
happened along and joined the party.
They were talking of wrecks at the
time and each one was relating his
experience.
GLOW does it feel to be in a big en-
CINE when she turns over in the ditch
while running at full speed?" / asked.
The old engineer smiled and said:
Stew men have ever rolled down
bank on a locomotive and retained
clear impressions of how they felt
while taking the tumble. | have had
several experiences of that kind in
my time. About 10 years ago my en-
CINE left the rails near Clarksburg
and plunged through culyert, land
ing in small stream | was dug out
of the COAL and when my eyes were
washed out all that | could remember
was feeling as if had been rolled
down big hill in barrel or kicked
by herd OF wild mules. Another
time we struck broken rail on the
freight track, tore through the pas
senger or main track, and landed fin
ally in meadow 25 feet below the
level of the tracks. / was in the en-
CINE all the time and had scarcely
time to make up my mind what to do
when we were tumbling down the
bank. The whistle was broken off
and the steam was escaping with
roar, and the cab was crushed under
me when the old engine made the
first revolution side ways, but | es-
capped with few cuts and bruises.
| can remember feeling of the ut
most dread when | saw that the steam
pipes in the cab were bent, for real
lied that if they were torn loose |
would be scalded to death.
"It is easy enough for you news
paper men who were never in such a
wreck to describe it, because you have
a faculty for imaginary description,
but as for us old fellows who have
rolled to the ditch with our engines,
we could no more tell you how it feels
than the fellow who has been hanged
can describe the sensations he exper-
fences on the gallows."

Rare Governor.
Yours very truly
e. TRACY ToBIN.
Commissioner.

Possibly there is not another state
in the Union that has a governor
who will go into the jungles and ar
rest desperate man on charge OF
murder, take him to Jail and guaran-
tee his protection from violence.
That is what our Chief Executive
did, and it has struck the outside
world as something unusual and
novel. OF course, these outsiders
do not know that Governor Atkin-
sons experience in this line is not
new. 1t isn't the first time the gov
ernor has gone into the mountains
and the woods and brought in vio-
lators of the law.
In the most serious times OF sew
eral years ago, when the revenue
laws needed strict enforcement
against the moonshiners, who held
forth in the mountain districts, Mr..
Atkinson made record for himself
as United States Marshal, and he
cleaned out the defers of the law
in pretty good shape. That was be
fore the border and the mountain
districts of the state had been de-
veloped and become peopled with an
intelligent population of miners,
lumbermen and other Industrial
workers, as it now is, and to be a.
United States marshal or deputy
required fearlessness, diplomacy and
firmness. 1t gave the governor the
opportunity to get acquainted with
the Hatfelds and McCoys, and all
the other mountaineers who were
harrassing the law, and which stands
him in such good stead at the pres
ent day in such cases as the Hatfield.
Ellis affair. He knows them all and
their personal characteristics and
understands how to approach them
