DODDRiDGE SWORD FUND.

The public should remember there
is but one general fund for the pur-
chase of a sword for Ensign Doddridge.
This fund is being contributed to
through several mediums, one of which
is the Register. The citizens of this
community very naturally take a pride
in offering some suitable testimonial to
a fellow townsman, born and reared
in their midst, whose patriotism and
bravery are unquestioned. The Regis
ter believes it a duty to encourage the
sentiment behind the movement, hence
it has opened its columns to the promo
ton of the object, and in order that it
may become as general and popular as
possible, suggests that small as well as
large contributions be sent in. A dime
is not too little.

ATYPlCAL TRUST.

In an interesting letter published
this morning is told the complete his
tory of the tariff bred borax trust. 1t
is an interesting story.
We have the biggest and most pro-
ductive mines or beds in the world.
They are all owned by the Pacific Coast
Borax Company, which has for ten
years held idle all but one or two Of
its dozen mines. 1t buys them up after
the usual trust method to hold them
idle, restrict production, maintain prices
and to retain it's monopoly.
1t got increased duties in 1890 and in
1897, and has made exorbitant profits
from these duties.
The proof that it does not need these
exorbitant duties for protection"
against CHEAP" foreign borax is con-
tanned in the fact that 1T not only sur
vived under the three years of low
duties of the Wilson bill, but greatly
increased its production then to supply
the extra demand caused by the low
prices at which it was forced to sell.
Not only did it survive, but then be-
gan to EXPORT borax in large guam
titles and to UNDERSELL FOREIGN
COMPETITORS AT THEIR OWN
DOORS. In fact, it brought them all
to terms, and last January formed the
Borax Consolidated Works, Limited, of
England, which owns and operates all
of the most profitable borax mines and
refineries in the world. 1t sells refined
borax IN ENGLAND FOR 31a CENTS
PER POUND AND IN OUR OWN PRO-
TECTED MARKETS FOR IN CENTS,
which has been the price for one year.
IT'S net profit on every pound sold in
America is not less than cents. AS
it sells about 10000 tons in our markets
it's yearly American net profits are
about 100000.
F. M. Smith, the principal owner of
Lie TdcIllC OOdSI SLUCh duu Lllc pl C6CIl
borax king of the world is said to have
paid 100000 Con four years time) in
1890, for the Colemanite properties in
California and Nevada-the only ones
of exceptional value. He made a good
investment in these mines; but he
made better one when he, by hook or
crook, got Congress to give him high
duties on borax. Many falsifications of
facts were resorted to by the borax
Senators to get the cents per pound
duty through the Senate in 1897.
The borax king laughs in his sleeve
over the great profits of his tariff-trust
borax game. He can we'll afford to
laugh, for it has made him one of the
wealthiest men on the Pacific Coast,
and his game of picking the pocket of
the American consumer is working as
slick as a whistle, thanks to the Ding
ley bill and its authors.

Virginia. and that it is high time they
were being rooted out and the hungry
gentlemen in the rear given a chance.
The rebellion against the ring takes
tangible form in the shape of the can
didacy of Romeo H. Freer. Congress
man from the Fourth District, who is
the anti-ring candidate for Governor.
Effort is being made and all sorts of
falsehood and trickery are resorted to
to side-track Freer. The faithful
ringsters and ring organs are publishing
in the most conspicuous manner
statements that Mr.. Freer would not
think of such thing as being a can
didate for Governor against the regu-
lar slated Elkins man, Collector A. B.
White. But it is nevertheless a positive
fact. and one which the Register has
been able to verify from the best
sources of information on the subject,
that Mr.. Freer not only is a candidate
for the Republican nomination for Gov
ernor, but decidedly active and con-
ident candidate, with every prospect of
giving the ring man a very warm
hustle before the convention. The Re-
publican rank and file are slowly awak-
ening to the methods of the ring and
the fact that they are not conducive to
honest, economical and competent gov
eminent and the efforts of the Charles
ton and Washington crowd to suppress
Freer have up to date only had the
effect of Strengthening his candidacy
among this rank and file

JUDGE CAMPBELL's CANDIDACY.

While the gubernatorial game is on
in State politics, the more circumscrib-
ed waters of Congressional district poll
tics are not presenting very smooth
sailing to the Gins Our old friend
Capt. Dovener, who seems to have found
such a good thing in Washington that
he is very DESTROYS of holding on TO it,
will probably not find the walkover he
would like for denomination. Our
esteemed and able fellow town5man,
Judge John A. Campbell, who has long
been a faithful wheelhorse in his party,
is now picked by many observing ones
as a winner in the next nominating
convention of the Republicans in the
First Congressional district. No very
grave complaints are brought against
Captain Dovener as a Representative,
but there seems to be a prevailing opin-
ion in many quarters that he has been
we'll rewarded for party services and
should be content to let 60 There has
been some doubt about Judge Camp
bells attitude in the matter. but that
is set at rest by the following state
ment made by him to an interviewer at
Charleston the other day:
my name has been used in connection
with the next Republican nomination for
Congress in the First district, and il is
very probable that l will make a campaign
for the nomination. In general cam
paigns l have canvasSed the First district
and part of the State several times. While
| have no special inclination for public
life,s in this crisis of the country affairs
in which this Congress and perhaps the
next will be called upon to deliberate upon
national and international questions of the
highest moment and far reaching in their
character the forum of Congress would
appeal to the ambition of any aspiring
American. The uncertainties of political
life and the belittling of public affairs to
minor considerations is, however, not. con-
genial to one devoted to a profession or
any other intellectual pursuit
Plainly, Judge Campbell is a recep-
tive candidate, willing at any time to
become an active one, and it behooves
the doughty captain to hustle for his
leadership in the First district.

REED ON OHIO RETURNS.

Our Republican friends who pretend
they cannot see the rebuke to the i'm
perial policy of the administration in
the Ohio returns, which show the adj
ministration candidate in a minority
of the total vote of over 10000, are re-
spectfully referred to the analysis
of those returns made by that able and
distinguished Republican, Hon. Thomas
B. Reed, ex-Speaker of the National
House of Representative and about the
only Republican in Congress who didn't
wear collar and have an owner.
Three years ago, he said, Mr.. Mckinley
carried Ohio by 10000 majority, while
"this year the Republican candidate
had but $4,000 plurality over the Demo-
cratic candidate while the third candi-
date received 100000 votes" The Of
fetal return of the full vote of the
State shows that the Republican candi
date for Governor was in a minority of
1851. Mr.. Reed doubted if the anti
Republican vote can be united, but said
nevertheless, that is a chance which
had better not be taken.''
Apropos to the imperial policy of the
administration he said, with pointed
sarcasm: discussion really settles all
things if we take time enough for it.
If we could have time enough for the
discussion, l have no doubt that even
the Declaration of independence would
be justified"
This keen sarcasm is calculated to
make the good and pious politician in
the White House squirm. Mr.. Reed is
evidently among those Republicans who
still believe in the principles set forth
in the Declaration of Independence.

If you are afflicted with chronic and
lingering disease it is safe to conclude
that you are doctoring on wrong lines.
If proper medicine could not overcome
your disease, the disease would long
ago have overcome you. The trouble is
that you have been treated for some
thing wholly foreign to your complaint,
and the medicine either has had no eff
feet or has made you worse. The wise
thing to do is to consult DR.. Greene, 50
West 18th ST., New York City, the dis
coverer of that greatest of all RENE
dies, DR.. Greene's Nervura. Call on
him if you can, but if that is ineonven-
lent, write him fully about your case.
You can tell him in a letter many
things that you might forget in a per-
sonal interview. 1t will cost you moth
ing, as DR.. Greene makes no charge for

DEWEY's OFFICIAL AND POLITICAL
ENEMIES,

Now that the clouds have risen from
the storm centre about the Dewey home
and the circumstances surrounding the
shameful affair come into view, the
why and wherefore of the sudden vic
ious attack on the great Admiral and
his wife and what inspired it, become
apparent. The sudden filing of the
columns of Washington paper with
anonymous letters from the people,
all of which epistles, it is said, were
written in official hands, and the bull
letining of the scurrilous attack upon
him all over the country from the same
source, all too plainly bears the famil-
lar ear-marks of the same pestilent
clique that originally tried to side-track
Dewey out of SIMPSONS way by send
ing him to Chinese waters, and later
Indignantly prosecuted and endeavored
to ruin Admiral Schley because the
American people recognized him as the
real hero of Santiago instead of the pet
of the department, Sampson.
Plainly, the contemplate political
clique at Washington, which tried to
run the Spanish war and since has been
endeaWoring to run the army and navy
solely In the interest of the admins
tration's second term boom, are also
ot tha hOt+o,o IF tbir vicious opI or,,oI
attack upon Admiral Dewey, whose
frankly expressed views with regard to
the Philippines and evident sympathy
with the aspirations of the Filipino peo-
pie for independence, a sentiment
shared by all true Americans, have been
particularly embarrassing to the admin
istration at Washington. This and the
growing prominence with which
Dewey's name is coupled with the
Presidency, and the imminent danger
that even Hanna-made national con-
vention might be stamped to him, or,
worse STILL that he might be nominated
against Mckinley by the Democrats, all
rendered it imperatively necessary to
cut Dewey's political throat, to get him
out of the way of the second term
boom.
There is no mistaking the handi-
work The hands that threw mud at
Dewey are the same that have been in
dustriously throwing it at Schley and
at Gen. MileS-the same that in order
to repay debts the administration owed
for campaign contributions. fed our
troops poisoned meat, gave them shoes
made of paper and encamped them in
an unhealthy locality to favor a rail-
road cirque, etc., ETC., ad nauseam.
Dewey, himself, in his manly gener-
osity may be blind to the source of
these malicious stabs, but the people.
who are still overwhelming him with
protestations of their confidence and
high esteem, are not. The New York
World well says: When the people
recall how generous and good-humored
Dewey was in helping these politicians
to counteract the Dewey boom they
will not be disposed to look with
friendly eyes upon the present efforts
to destroy Dewey himself, or upon the
men making the efforts in behalf of the
Second-Term Syndicate"
These will find ere long that they.
have thrown dangerous boomerang.

A CONFLICT
Of a Peculiar Nature Between
Governor Atkinsc and Judge
DoOlittle.

Special to the Register.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, November
26.-There is a conflict of orders be-
tween Governor Atkinson and Judge
Doolittle. When Elias Hatfield was
convicted of the murder of Doc Ellis,
in the Mingo Circuit Court, and SEN
fenced to serve a term in the peniten-
tiary, Governor Atkinson granted a
stay of execution for sixty days in or
der to give the attorneys time to have
a copy made of the evidence in order
to apply to the Supreme Court for
writ of error and supersedeas. Before
the sixty days expired Ex-Governor
Wilson, the attorney for Hatfield, ask
ed the Governor to extend the stay to
thirty days more, and submitted the
he could not get the evidence TRANSCRIPT
ed in the time allotted. Governor At
kinson granted the extension asked for,
but Judge Doolittle disregarded the
Governors order and directed the act
ing sheriff of Mingo county, J. E. Peck,
to take Hatfield to the penitentiary,
which he did yesterday. Governor At
kinson requested Superintendent Hawk
to refuse to receive the prisoner, and
the Governor is informed that Superin-
tendent Hawk has complied with his re-
quest. The next move will probably be
an application for writ of mandamus
to compel Superintendent Hawk to re-
ceive the prisoner.
