Though there is present talk OF addiction in

tolerably well in life himself. the time is fast
approaching when the Victorian reign will cease
1t has been remarkable reign, and has been for
progress from the beginning. Possibly the old
lady wishes TO round cut the century, and if she

unanimous consent of the British Empire. Eng

ADMINISTRATION AND DEWEY.

Boston Globe.
Whatever may be the facts as to the
Evening Post interview one thing is
ceria.n. Not least among the reasons
which have actuated the pubic in its de-
termination to greet Dewey will such ex-
eeptional enthusiasm is the general feel
ing that his advice ard counsel have not
been sought and utilized as they ought TO
have been in Philippine matters by our
government. It was one among many mis-
takes of the present administration that
Admiral Dewey-perhaps the one Ameri-
can who enjoys the full confidence of the
Tagalos, certainly the one American who
commanded their Widespread respect
should have been sidetracked or made in
any way subordinate to a man of such
narrow caliber as Gen. E.. S. Otis. How
much was left undone that ought to have
been done-how much was done that
should nave been left undone-in order
that Gen. Otis might be invested with
varied authority and be able to pose be-
fore the world as an erratic and unreas-
enable Pooh Bah, perhaps the country
will never know. But the public believes
that when the time comes for frank. out
spoken conference between Admira and
President-it will surely CONF soon-Mr.
Mckinley is likely to hear some whole
some, if unweleome truths.
There is, of course, rea ~ no good ex-
cuse for failure to consult and profit by
Admiral Dewey's friendly advice on PGi.-
ippine problems months and months ago,
Thu government might well have ascer-
tanned, through some intelligent and trust
ed representative, his views regarding
men, things and policies at Manila, long
before Dewey and the Olympia sailed.
Without assuming that Dewey is free from
all liability of making an error of judg-
ment. the President might well w
sought, long since, fullest counsel on Phil
ippine policies from the modest man who
declares, as he is greeted by the acclaim
of a grateful country: Il am prepared to
live and die a simple sailor who tried to
do his duty

FEARS FOR OHIO.
New York World.

New York World.
The Tribune has another very special
dispatch from Cleveland. indicating the
danger confronting the Republican party
in that State.
The danger, according to the dispatch,
arises from the very intelligent and Wig
orous canvass conducted by John r. Nc
Lean, the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, and from the many Republican
soreheads, especially among the Germans
who do not like Boss Hanna's roughshod
way of trampling down all opposition to
his will and who are constitutionaIly OPP
posed to militarism. Democratic conf
dence," says the dispatch. comes primar-
lily from dissatisfaction with McKinley's
administration which, they allege, largely
exists even in Ohio, mainly taking the
form of opposition to 'bossism.' imperial
ism and trusts"
The President and Senator Hanna know,
it is said, that 'McLean's election would
be a disastrous blow to Republican pros
poets next year. This is now fully under
stood in all quarters. 1t makes Mclean
doubly dangerous"
This sort of talk is of course denounced
by the administration press as "disloyal,"
but it does not deter the Tribune from
printing the news as it finds it.

AN OMISSION Contracted.

In giving a list, a few days ago, Of
the avowed candidates for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor, and of
those gentlemen whose m have
been suggested for that important
office, the Register, through an mad
vertance, omitted the name OF Hen.
Andrew Edmiston, of Lewis. This
oversight has called forth the following
letter:
WESTON, w. Va, September %.
'9To the Editor of the Register:
Sir notice in your list of guber-
material candidates that you omit the
name of the most popular, as well as
the most-mentioned one by State pa
pers. l refer to the Hon. Andrew
Edmiston. His friends in this section
look at it as a clerical error, and feel
confident that it was not intentional ON
the registers part.
Oar correspondent is right in the as
sumption of error, for making which
the Register expresses its regret. Mr..
Edmiston is undoubtedly one of the
most favored candidates, and if nomi-
mated would assuredly be elected, and
would make a splendid Governor.
AS to tho other candidates mention
ed, the Register has assurance that all,
with the two exceptions noted some
days ago, are real candidates for the
nomination, and will be only too glad
to serve the Democracy and the people
in the capacity named in this connec-
ton. And the best thing about it
is the conviction in the minds of all
that Democratic success in West Vir-
ginia is in sight. All Democratic ele-
ments are harmonious and united, and
the people are more than anxious to
bring about a change in the admins
tration at Charleston. With an earn
est and aggressive campaign, victory
is assured, and that sort Of battle is to
be fought.

THE wELoo ne TO DEWEY.

The formal popular reception to Ad-
miral Dewey, at New York, yesterday,
was essentially a tribute from the peo-
pie to the naval hero of the age. New
York's population of three million and
a half was reinforced by at least two
million strangers, and of this vast ag-
gregate it is safe to say that three mil
lion people saw, or attempted to see,
some portion Of the great pageant. This
immense number of actual spectators
is seven times as great as any popula-
ton ever encompa5sed within the walls
of Rome, celebrated for its triumphs,
for the largest estimate of the Imperial
City in ancient times is that of Haskell,
who gives it AGA. zoe inhabitants in the
year "a B. C. There have been splen-
did popular ovations to military and
naval heroes in times gone by, but it
is doubtful if any of them were upon
a grander scale or attracted a greater
number of spectators than the triumph
of Dewey, with possibly the single ex-
ception of the reception accorded the
remains of the First Napoleon, on their
arrival at Paris from St. Helena.
The reception to Admiral Dewey is
essentially a popular one. 1t comes d.
rectly from the people, lacking even the
direct recognition of the government at
Washington. 1t is a national tribute
to bravery, capacity, worth and hero
ism, and as such is far better than any
possible governmental or official tri-
butte. The people recognize Dewey as
a hero. That is the greatest honor
within the reach of living man.

There is much popular discomfort at
West Union, as at Weston a short
time ago, over the increase in prices
made by the Natural Gas Company,
and the citizens are talking of boy
colts and other forms of indignant pro-
test. There are two sides to this ques-
ton, as Wheeling a%scertained. Here
we went through some seasons of
shortage, caused by the inevitable CIV
ing out of old wells and the inability
of the company to investigate new ter
ritory at the prevailing rates. The
price of gas was increased, and since
then there has been no trouble. for the
company is able to keep up the supply.
Natural gas companies are run on a
business basis, as are other enter
prises.

a INDUSTRIOUS FRAUD.

Philadelphia has for a generation
been celebrated for its immense and
~steadfast Republican majority. 1t is
good for $4,000 to 100. 600 for the Re
publican manchine nominations with
the regularity OF c%lockwork. and while
it was generally believed that this vast
majority was a fraudulent one, no de-
cisive steps to ferret out the fraud were
taken until of late years. At the last
election, there was a reported plurality
of S2,561 for Governor Stone, and
through the researches of the
Municipal League, it is now
believed that from 10000 to
40, 1000 of these votes were fraudulent,
while it is computed that as high as
SO, 1000 unlawful ballots have been cast
in the city at a single election. One
repeater has just pleaded guilty to cast
ing thirty-seven bogus votes at the 'ast
election, thereby multiplying the voGes
of thirty-seven honest men. This sort
of thing is a crime of the first magni-
tude, and no punishment can be too Sc
we're. There is more than a suspicion
that Wheeling and Ohio county were
not free form this iniquIty in recent
elections, but adequate investigation
was impossible. In Philadelphia the
fraud is being sifted to the bottom, and
at the coming election there will be
a marked decrease in tie Republican
vote in the city of Brotheriy Love.

Publicity is the handspring of domestic
trade. 1t builds UP commercial inter
course and keeps it up; and unquestionably
this publicity can be Obtained only by ag-
g~ressive and constant advertising in a
newspaper which is a ~favorite in a null
titude of homes. 1t is said that a sand
crab can burrow into the sand before a
person can count five. 1t would take a
somewhat longer time for a business man
to sink into obscurity if he should neglect
to regularly tell the public about his wares
through a ~favorite newspaper; but just as
surely he would disappear from public no
tice.

If it be true, as Dewey says, that the
