Welcome to the Second.

The boys OF the Second regiment,
West Virginia volunteers. Will be well
coined to their native soil this week.
They represent many portions Of the
state and many homes, where each will
receive his individual greeting. All may
rest assured that in the state at large
there Is hearty feeling Of apprecia-
ton OF their good and patriotic purpose
in enlisting in the country's service
when the call came, and the splendid
record the regiment has made for it
self. The Second shares with tho First
the honor OF having creditably repre-
scented West Virginia. and Of having
received honorable mention from off,
clal quarters.
1t Is true many OF these West Vir-
ginia boys. doubtless ali of them. would
have preferred to see some more &C.
tive service, something which would
have given them opportunity to dlstln-
gulsh themselves In the field. but 1t
was not to be so; the war did not last
long enough to give all chance. This
does not detract from their credit. They
were ready, disciplined. drilled. equip
ped, willing, brave and patriotic. This
is credit enough. and the experience Of
the months OF service has net been
without It's benefits. They are heartily
welcomed back to civil life.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, us they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness Is caused by an infamed con-
dltion OF the mucous lining OF the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets In
famed you have n rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when 1t IL en-
tlrcly closed deafness Is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to Its normal
condition. hearing will be destroyed for
ever: nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which Is nothing but an in
famed condition OF the mucous sur
faces. e

OF HIrious offenses, none OF them MUIR
der; the sentences ranged from several
months to three. fouror more years, very
few OF the latter, and all had served
large part OF their term. In, these
cases lie the point the Intelligencek de-
sires to make. In fifty-three Of the
seventy cases Of pardon for the smaller
offenses the clemency was granted on
the petitions of thosc who had tried the
+parties-the judges, the prosecuting at
torneys, the Jurors, the prosecuting Wit
nesses, court officials. and long lists Of
citizens. In many cases the governor
quotes the letters OF the judges and
prosecuting attorneys, saying that
there were mitigating circumstances
and developments showing the sem
fences were too severe. or that the
guilt was doubtful; that the parties
having served most OF their time. with
good records. were punished enough,
and. In some cases. the youthfulness Of
the prisoners was urged. In score
of Instances the judges and prose-
cutting attorneys wrote personal letters
on the matter; in the remainder the Pc
3tltlons were largely signed as above
stated by either the Judge or the pros
.ecuting attorney or by the entire court,
Including the jury.
Twelve pardons were granted on the
certificates Of physicians that the par
tiles were declining in health and ap-
preaching death. several being In the
last stages OF consumption. In four or
five cases the governor issued pardons
for small offenses on his own knowl-
edge Of the circumstances. III
q The Intelligencer has gone into this
matter at some length because 1t is an
Important one. More than one gov
ernor has been nude the y'-..:.:r Of
such mIserably thoughtless and ignor-
ant comments as the one above alluded
to. Let such papers be fair enough to
be just. The last legislature did q wise
thing when 1t created q board Of par
dons. 1t was wise because 1t relieves
the future executives OF such thought
less attacks and. those intended to dis
credit them. The board of pardons will
have just the same situations to meet
that the governors have had.
Our judges and court officials are
honorable men, as rule. 1t is time
for the critics Of executive clemency to
understand that when they assault the
governor in such matters they assault,
In this instance, at least. in the ma
jority Of cases, the judges and juries
and the states attorneys. on whose rec
concentrations the governor has acted.

MONETARY MATTERS,
Report of British Indian Currency
Commission Is Misleading.

Report of British Indian Currency
Commission is Misleading.
NEW YORK. April ia dispatch
from Washington says: $50 far as the
report OF the British Indian currency
commission tends to show that there
has been any serious consideration by
the American cabinet OF the question OF
another international monetary confer
ence, or OF the ratio for the coinage OF
gold and silver, It Is misleading.
There is the highest authority for the
statement that there has bean no SER
lous consideration OF the question by the
cabinet since the failure Of the last
monetary conference and that II Is
highly improbable that the United
States, under the present administra-
ton, will take an initiative for the
calling OF another. 1t can be said on
the same authority, however, that the
ton that may be issued by any other
nation for such conference, and that
the present administration will be in
clined to go as far in increasing the use
of silver as other leading commercial
nations might be willing to go.
The enormous increase in the produc-
ton OF gold within the last few years
and the prospects that the annual out
put OF the mines of the world will in
crease for many years have served to
convince many who formerly advoca-
ted reconciliation OF silver by an in
ternational agreement that such step
is unnecessary.
George e. Roberts, director OF the
mint. whose official position gives much
significance to what he says, says that
he was formerly an advocate of IN In
ternatlonal agreement. but that In view
of the great change In the situation.
due to increased sold production. he
did not believe that such an agreement
was now possible. because there was no
longer necessity for It, and 1t would be
impossible to interest people In It.

Roosevelt In for It.

Colonel Roosevelt has startled some
people by openly advocating the policy
OF possession OF the Philippines. on the
ground that the natives are incapable
Of self-government. He declared in his
Chicago speech that he believed that
the United States should establish a
free government there for the people
and preserve 1t under American con-
troll.
The distinguished governor OF New
York has all along been counted upon
as being opposed to anything that sa-
vored OF American control. and, now.
that he goes farther even than some
conservatives who have been classed
as. "imperlallsts," they are surprised
and disappointed. We fear that. in the
very height of his popularity. Governor
Roosevelt has precipitated an attack
upon himself Heretofore he has been
singularly free from this usually sure
penalty OF occupying the executive
chair Of New York state.

.ALon~.stanainr Injustice.

The following paragraph !s q sample
of the comments that are made blythe
partisan press every time the governor
of West Virginia exercises executive
clemency. This is from the Register:
And Gov. Atkinson yesterday pardoned
another murderer out OF the penitentiary.
He had served but about three years OF q
life sentence. There doesn't seem to be
much use in our courts sending criminals
to jail while Pardoner George Wesley
holds sway. 1t seems TO be a waste OF
the peoples money to convict them.
1t is time that the public should I'M
derstand the great amount OF injustice
contained in such references as this.
1t is eeasy to write q paragraph like
the. above. and perhaps 1t can be done
with a clear conscience when the writer
does not know the circumstances under
which pardons are granted. Let the
Register be fair and note some infor-
nation which 1t doubtless has In Its
possession. If 1t has file OF the jour-
nails Of the late Legislature. 81,

son submitted to that body the official

six pages, being q transcript from the

Governor Atkinson Is not the only
executive who has been made the VIC
tim of thoughtless criticisms like tho
above, and 1t Is all because 1t does not
seem to be generally known that the
governor alone Is not responsible for
the granting Of pardons. A simple
glance over the record alluded to will
throw some light upon the matter,
which may reveal some important fea-
lures in connection with the subject.

A FINE PRODUCTION.

The success OF Under the Red
Robe" which is to appear at the Opera
House on Thursday night, October IL,
depends largely upon the delineation of
the characters of Gil de Berault and
Renee de Cocheforet. The part OF the
hero is excellently portrayed by Paul
Cazeneuve, a gifted young actor. His
superb assumption of this role shows
him to be in possession of all the abil-
ity necessary in such a strong charac-
ter. He has a magnificent stage pres
ence and a voice that ds perfect His
enunciation is clear and distinct and
every word he utters has a ring that
demonstrates close study OF details

beautiful women on the stage, will i'm

rects the tour, has supplied fine cast
