EAGAN MUST PAY THE PIPER.

Despite the efforts of Alger to shield
him, Eagan must stand trial. The Cab
met, excepting Alger, were a unit on
the subject, and the President was
compelled to order a court-martial.
This means that the BLACKBOARD at
the head of the commissary depart
ment will be dismissed from the army
in disgrace, for at the head of the
court-martial which will try Eagan for
his grave offense against military law
and decency will be that stickler for
propriety and military decorum, Gen.
Wesley Merritt.
1t will go hard with Eagan, but he
can scarcely be punished more severely
than he deserves. His crime against
d~ecency and subordination, and the
reflection he has cast upon the Ameri-
can army are s%candalous and unpar-
Gonable.
But Eagan is not the only official
created by this administration who has
cast serious reflection and disgrace
upon the arms of the United States.
The head of the War Department,
Alger, himself, has probably done
more than even Eagan to lower the
standard of the army and injure its
personnel and discipline, for Alger
filled the service with incompetents,
with political and personal favorites
without regard to fitness or capacity,
while allowing dishonest contractors
and corruption to run riot. The re-
suit of Ayers mismanagement of the
army-especially his neglect, maltreat-
ment and official murder Of volunteer
troops during the war with Spain, and
his gross bungling of the Cuban cam
tc practically determine Congress that
there shall be no increase in the army
as demanded by the imperial pro-
gramme of the administration while
Alger is at the head of the War De-
partment. AS army increase has none
100 many friends at most, even on the
Republican side, this condition will
probably necessitate the retirement of
Alger before any move toward the re-
organization or increase of the army
is made by Congress.
1t is interesting and very pertinent
to know in this connection that none
of this foul disgrace has been brought
Upon the army by any regular trained
army officer. None of the %bunglers
were regularly trained soldiers. Alger,
Corbin, Eagan, Shafter, Sternberg,
Huidekoper, not one is a West Point
man. All are civilians who got into
the army Trough other than the reg
ular or the usual way, and were e!e-
waited to their present eminence solely
by virtue of their political o I personal
pull with the present administration.

bus bothering the people during this

bus bothering the people during this
session at least.
1t matters little, however, what the
Republican Senate may do in the prem
ises. Virginia debt legislation is eff
fectually barred from consideration by
the House at this session.
The labors of the Register against
this debt scheme in the late campaign
and particularly it's exposure of the
Republican scheme of getting cam
paign funds out of Wall street in re-
turn for promises of favorable action
on the Wall street proposition in the
event of Republican success in the leg
islative election, did much to turn the
tide the Democratic way, and this
prompt action of the Democratic House
is an eminently fitting and appropriate
climax to the anti-debt campaign and
a proper recognition of the demands of
the people. 1t will cause taxpayers
generally throughout the State to
breathe a sigh of relief that this threat
ening monster is laid low.

A Change at the Art Glass Sign Fac
tory.--Two Interesting Meetings.
A Resume of Yesterdays General
Happenings.

The work of repairing and improving the
Art Glass Sign factory ON Central avenue
is being pushed forward vigorously, and,
it is expected, will be finished by the 10th
of neXt March. AT that time the building
will nave been converted into a practically
new factory. New and additional ma
chinery is to be put up and the capacity
of the plant made much larger. The equip
ments will be such that will provide for
the manufacture of all Sorts of glass
signs of different designs and colors, and
also all kinds of novelties. The articles
will be manufactured on an extensive
scale and will necessitate the employ
ment of between thirty and forty people.
The first floor Of the building will con-
tain the grinding and moulding shops, and
the second floor will be divided into dec
Grating and packing rooms. The capacity
of the plant to start with is equal to an
eight-pot furnace,
The plant has heretofore been operated
by a company under the SUPPLEMENTARY
of Fred Stewart. but at present the latter
owns the controlling interest. After
March 10Th. Mr.. Stewart will be sole pro-
prietor of the factory, which will be one
of the leading industrial plants of the
Ohio valley.

FOR SENATOR. JOHN T. M'GRAw.

Col. McGraw was given the Demo-
cratic caucus nomination at Charleston
last night unanimously.
The selection was a foregone conclus-
ion. The decided predominance of
sentiment in his favor was highly COM
plimentary to Col. McGraw and the best
evidence of his high standing in his
party.
To say that he deserves the honor is
to repeat what every Democrat in and
out of the Legislature knows. And it
will not be an empty honor if right
and justice shall prevail in the doings
of the Legislature, which every good
citizen regardless of politics, hopes will
be the case.
We have every reason to believe that
many intelligent Republicans who have
the best interests of the State at heart
would be really glad to see the pushing
ana progressive Col. McGraw elected
to represent West Virginia in the Unit
ed States Senate, where he would be of
great value to the State and a credit
to its people. These conservative and
intelligent Republicans are heartily
disguised with the senatorial situation
in their own party and are ashamed
of the quality of senatorial timber thus
far put to the front. They would doubt
less welcome a solution of the dead
locked situation that would include the
election to the Senate of this young,
vigorous, enterprising and representa-
tive West Virginian, whose experience
and eminent talents fit him for the of
flee and whose vast business interests
are identical with the welfare and de-
pendent upon the material progress and
development of the State.
There is no filter man for Senator
in West Virginia than Hon. John T.
McGraw. The whole State would well
come his election as the happiest solu-
ton of the present problem.

THE DEBT MONSTER LAID Low.

The House is to be congratulated for
its promptness in scotching the Vir-
ginia debt serpent at the very opening
of the session. The move was made
in such a way that it had to carry
unanimously.
The Register trusts that when the
partisan Senate gets through with its
political game of hide and seek it will
pass this important measure with
equal unanimity and thus prevent at
the start any possibility of this incu-

MAKING THREATS.

The City Hall crowd have served no.
tice on Island Republicans that if the
Seventh Ward does not give its usual
majority next week, the ward will get
nothing at the hands of Council the
next two years.
In other words, if you don't vote for
the ring, the ring will put the screws
on and shut off public improvements,
which, of course, includes the free toll
proposition.
How do Island citizens like the
threat?

after which a stag social took place and
