OUR WONDERFUL GOVERNOR.

It is doubtful if the public archives
of any State in the union will reveal
a parallel to the message of Governor
Atkinson to the Legislature accom-
panying the valued policy insurance
bill and explaining his remarkable rea-
son for signing the same.
The Governor says it is perfectly
clear to him that the measure is a per-
nicious one, but that the only way to
convince the people of West Virginia
Of that fact is to give them a two
years dose of it,
Could supreme dissatisfaction lib
orally favored with asininity and ac-
companied by dense ignorance of the
duties of the Office of governor go
further?

ANOTHER BIG DEAL,

BY Which Iron Mines Go Into the Hands
of Combine.
Cleveland, o., February 24.-The
Plain Dealer says:
Another big deal in the iron and
mining trade is about to be closed
1t is the sale of the Lake Superior
Iron Company, which owns consider
able mining property in the Lake Su-
perior district and a fleet of vessels
on the great lakes. 1t cannot be
learned who is negotiating for the
property, but the general opinion is
that it is either the Federal Steel Com
pany, the American Steel & Wire Com
pany, or the Carnegie Steel Company.
There is very little doubt that the deal
is practically closed and that the mat
ter will be settled in very short
time.
President w. R. Watterson has sent
out circular letter to the stockhold-
ers. saying that negotiations are
pending for the sale or control Of the
property upon very advantageous
terms.

Mike Moore Held to Answer for the
Killing of Kirk Ney, at Smithfeld.

Special to the Register
New Martinsville, February "a
The preliminary examination Of Mike
Moore, charged with shooting Kirk
Ney at Smithfeld Saturday, was held
at the Court House to-day before
Squire J. E. Young. E. L. Robinson,
prosecuting attorney, appeared for the
State, and ]. w. and Lloyd McLntire
appeared for the defendant. The State
called Ramer Norbert and Charley
Quinn, witnesses who were present
when the fatal shot was fired. The
evidence on behalf of the State showed
that Nay, Quinn, Norbert and two
other men went into the saloon, that
Moore was behind the counter tending
bar; that Sees, proprietor of the sa-
loon, was not in; that Nay, as soon as
he went in, went to a drop door at
the end of the counter and attempted
to go in; that Moore got a Ratchet
and struck Ney two or three times;
that Ney grabbed the Ratchet in his
left hand and both he and Moore held
On to it; that Ney got behind the coun-
ter and was scuffling with Moore when
a shot was fired; that Ney came from
behind the counter and said, q am
shot," that they led him out on the
porch and then back into the saloon
and laid him down; that the shot took
effect in the left side at the lower ribs,
passed through and was found lodged
in the backbone; that Ney died Sunday
morning from the effects of the
wound. The defendant called but one
witness, William McGonegal, who
stated that he was in the saloon at
the time of the shooting; that Sees,
the proprietor had gone to dinner, and
that Moore had charge of the saloon
in Sees's absence; that he noticed Ney
and others coming to the saloon and
started to go out; that Moore told
him to remain, as they (Ney and 9TH
ers) would give him trouble; that Ney
came in and started to go behind the
counter; that Moore met him at the
trap door and told him not to come
in, and that they grappled with each
other and Moore picked up a Ratchet
and struck Ney two ticks in the face;
that Ney took the Ratchet from Moore
and struck him three ticks with it;
that they were behind the bar at this
time, and when a few feet from the
end of the counter Moore picked up
the revolver and fired; that Ney was
striking with the Ratchet when Moore
fired. This ended the evidence, and
counsel for the defendant moved the
discharge of the prisoner. Squire
Young held the prisoner without bond
to answer at the May term of court
for murder. Counsel for defendant
will apply for a writ of habeas corpus
tc Judge Freer and ask that the de-
PENDANT be admitted to bail

Notwithstanding the recent bloody
victory of the British in the Soudan the
Dervishes are not whipped yet. The
Khalifa is advancing at the head of a
great raiding force and the British are
preparing for more fighting. And the
British in the Soudan are in a better
position to whip the Dervishes than the
Americans are to whip the Filipinos in
the remote Philippines, while they, the
British, are much more used to such
fighting. 1t looks as if our imperialists
had cut out a job that will be as inter-
minable as improbable to the Ameri-
can people.

There is said to be active opposition
at Madrid to the bill ceding the Philip
pines to the United States. At last
here may be way out of the difficulty.
If Spain would only hold on to the
Philippines and take back her Filipino
war and allow Uncle Sam to keep his
$40 600, 600 all hands might be happy
again. Even the Filipinos would doubt
less be pleased since there is a prob
ability that the United States might one
day subjugate them-or kill them all
off-while the Spanish have demon
strated that they never can. When it
comes to a choice of masters the Fill
pinos, whose aim is independence, will
unquestionably choose the weaker.

rescue from bankruptcy to his election

What Republican convention can
send to the rear the all powerful
Hanna, who has organized the Repub-
lican party into a gigantic political
trust, dominated absolutely by him
and the interests he stands for?
Gov. Pingree's talk of reform within
the Republican party is futile and his
hope of such reform baseless. If he,
or Attorney General Monnett, of Ohio,
who spoke with Gov. Pingree and at
tackled the trusts, are sincere and de-
termined in their antagonism to the
evil influences that have their party
in complete subsection, if they love
their country more than their party
and hold the welfare of the people
above mere party success, they will
unite their forces with the Democracy,
whose prime and fundamental princi-
pies are the very principles for which
they contend.
By no other route will the reforms
they seek ever be reached.

PLAIN Talk FROM PINGREE.

In his Washington's birthday
speech Governor Pipgree, of Michigan,
made some blunt confessions regard
ing his party and the element that
rules it. His statements convey 10
news to the intelligent citizen, but they
are interesting as having been uttered
at a banquet of prominent Republi-
cans.
THE Republican party" said the
Governor, came into power as the
party of the common people. But IN
time all the men who had schemes and
all the corporations who wanted priv
ileges have joined the Republican par
ty, expecting that party to bear their
burdens and to serve them. This has
been going on for years, but it cannot
last forever, gentlemen"
The Governor speaks truly, it can
not last forever, for the Republican
party is bound to go down in defeat
when the intelligent voters of the
country are massed together at the
polls against it. While it has come to
be accepted by Republican leaders and
politicians that money in elections Is
all powerful and while it undoubtedly
is most powerful in deceiving the peo-
pie by flooding the country with false
hood and demagogy, the truth is none
the less mighty and in the end must
prevail.
The American people are thoroughly
alive now to the forces that rule the
Republican party and shape its poll
cies and dictate its actions. Those
forces which have been steadily grow
ing in power for a generation are
Monopoly and Plutocracy. They are
now the foundation principles and plat
form of the Republican party as repre-
sented by its present leaders.
In cropping about for a means of re-
forming the party, Gov. Pingree says:
1t is good and timely advice to our
party to suggest that it send to the rear
the leaders who insist that government
shall be conducted with an eye solely to
commercial interests.
The rank and file will not stay with the
Republican party unless we choose our
leaders hereafter. without consulting
those who control the corporations trusts
and combines of the country, their attor-
neys, agents or servants.
Il plead for a return 10 the early mo-
tives and principles of the Republican
party"
Alas, what leaders would Pingree
send to the rear? Hanna, Elkins, Nc
Kinley, for instance? And how is he
going to do it? Without them what
would be left of the Republican organ
ization? Nothing, Turn down Hanna
and Wall street in the councils OF the
Republican party, shut off the trusts
and the millionaire mOnopolists, and
the Republican organization as now
maintained would collapse into utter
nothingness. Hanna, Elkins, McKin-
ley and their lieutenants and satel-
lites, backed by the trusts and pro-
tected corporations, are the whole
thing, and without them and the
Doodle they represent the Republican
organization would be nil. 1t is
owned in fee simple by the trusts and
monopolies and the INSCRIPTIONS
money interests of Wall street. 1t is
the slave of these interests and in
fiuences, and it cannot shake them off
any more than an afflicted body can
shake off a fatal cancer
The Republican party can nominate
no other man than Mr.. Mckinley next
