Monetary Reform.

The Republican caucus currency bill,
which has been made public, is a
plainly worded measure which SHOULD
appeal to all advocates Of sound money.
The effect of the bill. II passed, will be
to make the financial system of the
country more secure. and 1t will give
greater stability to business affairs The
measure FIRST of all establishes the gold
dollar of the present weight and tine-
ness as the standard of value, and the
measure by which all obligations of the
government are to be redeemed,
1t also provides for treasury bureau
OF issue and redemption. with a mimi
mum gold reserve of S1OO,OOOOOO, to re-
deem the circulating notes of the United
states in gold on demand, but 1t is pro-
ylded that the notes so redeemed can
not be reissued, as they are now, except
In exchange for gold.
The bill is a distinct response OF the
pledge made by the Republican party in
its platform of currency reform. and
among its many good features is one
that deprlves the secretary of the treas
ury OF the power to redeem greenoacks
in silver, and thus to throw the coun-
try at his discretion upon silver basis.
1t closes the door against the practice
OF paying out greenbacks, which have
been redeemed in gold, to meet the cur
rent obligations of the government.

Al Appeal for Bryan.

The Maryland Democrats were sue
cessful in The recent state election for
the reason that they ignored national
Issues, refused to put any reference to
Organism 10 the platform. and had for
their candidate for governor sound
money Democrat. In view of these
things 1t is somewhat singular that the
Maryland Democratic Association has
taken the step of appealing to all loyal
Democrats to begin the work now Of Sc
curing Bryan delegation from that
state to the next national Democratic
convention.
We take 1t that the appeal OF the
Maryland Democratic Association Will
reach only those members of the party
which are for anything on the Demo-
cratic ticket without regard to issues
or principles. There are many Of this
class Of people within that party, and
they have always weighted it down to
defeat. But Maryland is a sound
money state; all It's interests lie in the
preservation Of the gold standard.
Upon this point the Baltimore Ameri-
can remarks: Viewed from national
standpoint, the Maryland Democratic
MISUNDERSTANDING, as 1t does, to the
Chicago platform-is the head Of the
party in Maryland. But, unfortunate
ly, the association does not control the
organization, which sees 1T to antagon-
lie Bryan, dodge national issues and
otherwise deport itself in manner
most peculiar when its position as a
component part Of the national organi-
cation is considered. The Maryland
Democratic Association must be COM
mended for its honesty and candor, but
it is only Just to advise it to save its
strength"

Nov Basis Of Representatlon.


The proposition Of National Commit
teeman Payne, Of Wisconsin, to change
the basis of representation in the Re-
publican national convention Is meet
ing with strong support from the party
press of the country. The plan as out
lined in the Intelllgencer the other day
is to give each state four delegatss-at-
large, and an additional delegate for
each 10000 Republican votes or mnjori-
ty fraction thereof cast at the preced-
ing Presidential election. The inequal-
tiles and Injustice of the present plan
are markedly apparent. The number
OF delegates from certain southern
states is absolutely out Of proportion to
the Republican votes cast. A glance at
the voting power OF these states viii
convince anyone Of the necessity for the
change proposed by Mr.. Payne.
Mississippi is one illustration Of the
present absurdlty. That state cast all
told but $3.50 Republican votes at the
last Presidential election. yet IT has
eighteen delegates in the national con-
ventlon. the same number as Mime
sofa. which cast iO3.5Ol Republican
votes. 1t has six more delegates than

BoomIne Business Conditions.


Eastern and central West Virginia are
showing up well in their remarkable ac-
tivItIes in coal. coke and railroad con-
structlon, cvidencing on all sides the In
fluences of the prosperity that is visit
ing every portion Of the country. The
coal and coke business along the line Of
the West Virginia Central Is increasing
with marked rapidity. The Davis COM
pany will soon begin the erection Of
over 100 houses at Thomas and coketon
for their workmen, forty new coke
ovens are under construction, new
mine is being opened any everything
points to a continuance Of the unpre-
cedented demand for coal and coke.
The record for last month shows 10000
tons more of coal and 5000 tons more OF
coke shipped from the West Virginia
Central region than during the cores
pondIng month of 1898.
In this connection very important
transaction is in progress in this region
in the consolidation Of the vast inter-
ests OF the West Virginia Central and
Pittsburgh Central Railway and the
Davis Coal and Coke Company. sena-
tor Elklns and ex-senator Henry G.
Davis are making provisions for the
building of branch road from or near
Eikins. in Randolph county, to the
forks of the Greenbrier river.
Colonel Thomas B. Davis. in an inter
view in the Cumberland Independent,
stated that this road would certainly
be built in the near future. so as to
connect the West Virginia Central with
the Chesapeake & ohIu He also said
that his company had virtually decided
to build a road from Belington. in Bar
bour county, toward Clarksburg, to
meet the new. Short Line railroad now
building from that place to New Mar
tlnsvIlle, on the Ohio river. The Short
Line people have given assurance that
they Will meet the West Virginia Cen
trail somewhere ease Of Clarksburg.
This link will enable the Davis road"
to get its coal and timber to the Ohio
river by u short and direct route. and
from there by water to all parts Of the
world. AS this company ships much
coal and coke to Mexico and the Pacific
coast this link will be an important one
to 1t. The West Virginia Central also
expects soon to extend its line from
Huttonsville south and finally have a
direct line to Charleston. Colonel Davis
is also convinced that the Pennsylvania
railroad will shortly build line up the
Monongahela river as far as clarksburg.
and that West Virginia will soon be a
network OF railroads. It Is the inten-
ton Of the management Of the Davis
interests to make EIklns railroad CEN
tire.

Governor Atkinson has been a thorn

some Republicans who would like to see
the governors political downfall. But
the governor will not. down. He Is Just
