In 1t To the Finish.

The question of what A. B. White
of this city, intends to do in the race
for the Republican nomination for
Governor is one which seems to inter-
eest the general public of West Vir-
ginia to a great extent. Constant
mention Of the matter goes on and
many different things are being all the
time said. Thefact that Mr.. White is
very prominent in the race, of course.
accounts largely for this. His inter
esting personality has a great deal to
do with it, too.
The State Journal thinks Mr.. White
is in the race to fight it out to a fin
ish, but this view is contradicted in a
telegram in the Wheeling Register Of
IS morning, from Charleston, which
though probably fake, is quoted be-
cause it shows the interest already
being taken in the contest for the
nomination for Governor. 1t is not
likely that Mr.. Whites intentions in
so important an instance would first
be heard of at Charleston, in prefer
ence to his home
Following is the statement tele-
graphed the Register:
Charleston, w. Va. Nov l5.-An
interesting Tumor has just leaked out
her that A. B. White, of Parkersburg,
who spent Monday with friends in
this city, is seriously considering the
question of Withdrawing from the race
for the Republican nomination for
governor and throwing his strength to
his friend, Judge Reece Bluzzard, of
Calhoun county. 1t is said that White
is confident that he could transfer the
whole Of his large following to Judge
Blizzard and that he is of the opinion
that he could do much more for the
Judges nomination than his own.

Terms For Aguinaldo.

The heavy blow struck at the insur-
rection in Luzon during the past week
have caused some talk about the
terms to be granted to the insurgents
in the event of their deciding to for
mally surrender. A message sent by
our government to General Otis and by
him forwarded to Gen. Macarthur to
be delivered to Aguinaldo provoked
the speculation that it offered easier
terms to the insurgent chief provided
he surrendered now than if he held
out until captured. A more probable
version of the matter, however, is that
the message was simply a warning to
guinaldo that if in his disappoint-
ment and desperation attempted to
wreak his ill-w... upon the Spanish
and American captives in his hands
he would he held personally RESPONSE
BILE when taken by our forces. The
sending of such a message indicates
very clearly that the authorities at
Washington are satisfied that the end
of the insurrecbon is near.
AS to the terms OF be granted Aguin-
aldo and his followers, they can be
none other than unconditional sur
render. The time has gone by for them
to ask any other. They have known
for months, ever since the Philippine
commission was in Auzon, just what
they could expect in the event of their
laying down their arms, and there is
no excuse for any further palaver over
the matter. Aguinaldo and his chief
officials may expect to be restrained CT
their liberty for some time, but other
wise they will have good treatment
unless by their acts from now on they
shall. put themselves out of the pale of
prisoners of war and assume the role
of barbarians and criminals, in which
event tney must expect drastic punish
ment.--Pittsburg Times.

Advance in Diamonds.

Official reports from Amsterdam
show the effects of the war of the
Transvaal .-le diamond trade.
Prices of rough diamonds, which had
been rising for some time at intervals
of two months or so, were marked up
twice within elgLt days in October
The rise will necessarily restrict sales,
since the cutters find 1t difficult to buy
at the advanced price. The great rea-
son for the scarcity and high price is
the unusual demand from the United
States and Europe. The whole output
of the De Beers mines is sold in
March of each year. Last spring the
syndicate of manufacturers had to
consent to an advance of 35 per cent,
owing to the bad political outlook, and
since then there has been a steady up
ward movement.--Chicago Tribune.

New Way to Make Tin.

Charleston. w. Va, Nov. 15.-A
charter was issued here today to the
National Tin Plate Company of Wheel
ing, =" Va, for the purpose of manu-
featuring iron, tin and other metals in
various forms. The company will
make IN plate under a process invent
ed by William Rodgers, of Leechburg,
Pa. The new method does away with
the use of ACIDS to make the tin ad-
here The absence of the acids pre-
vents the oxidation and corrosion of
the iron sheet which is claimed is de-
structive to the life of the tin.
Machinery will be largely used and
by the speed with which plate can be
finished it is expected to largely reduce
the first cost of tin and greatly in
crease the production of the works. By
a rearrangement of the furnaces, rolls
and other machinery it is possible to
manufacture tin complete in one hour
and ten minutes, whereas under old
methods in use it requires six days be-
fore the tin plate is finished. The
company has an authorized capital of

and thoroughly canvassed the district.
After making a speech in a town in
-awamba county, an old colored wo-
man approached him and said:
"Kiyi, Massa John, don't yo' know
me?"
The Mississippian gazed at her in
tently, as if trying to bring her to
mind.
Cont yo' know your old mammy?"
she asked in trembling AGENTS.

nurse who had looked after him when
a child. He greeted her with effusive

The Money Question to be
the Issue of the Next
Campaign.

Senator Morgan, OF Alabama, is
quoted by The Herald as saying at
Washington on Thursday that the late
elections settled the question of the is
sue for next years campaign, assuring
the denomination of Mr.. Mckinley on
the Chicago platform. at will be a
battle for free silver at 16 to 1, with
Bryan as our standard-bearer against
sound money and Mckinley" said Mr..
Morgan.
The money question" in the opin-
ion of the Alabama senator, will be
the predominatfng issue in the next
campaign" necessarily, for the Dem
ocrats will be obliged to make the
fight over again on the Chicago plat
form" Even if the Republicans try to
force some other issue to the front,
they will not be abe to do it, he af-
tirmed.
ne issue of imperialism, he says,
cut all the figure possible to it in the
campaign just closed and it amounted
to nothing. Why it will not appear in
the campaign next year is thus ex-
planned by Senator Morgan:
81 hardly look Tor either expansion,
Imperialism or trusts to cut any ma
terial figure in the next campaign. 1t
is my opinion, based on information
derived from my connection with the
subject of foreign relations, that we
will hear very little about expansion
and imperialism year hence. There
is good reason to believe the Philip
pines will be disposed of, or practically
so, before the next national election
occurs President Mckinley evidently
has that idea in view, and his Republi-
can friends in congress will unite in
bringing about such a result as will
make 1T difficult for the Democratic
party to make any political capital out
of dead issue"
That, unquestionably, is the view
supported by common sense. The
Philippine question will be settled by
legislation of the next congress, in
which, doubtless, even Democrats of
statesmanake views, like Senator Nor
gan, will be constrained to join. Then
there will remain to the Democratic
party as distinguishing issues for the
campaign only the issues of the Chic
ago platform, of which its candidate,
Bryan, will be the embodiment. Con-
sequently, as Senator Morgan says,
having nothing else to fight for, that
party will be obliged to fight out the
next national campaign on sustaining
the Chicago platform and free silver
at 16 to New York Sun.

Meteoric Shower Of 1888.

Weteoric Shower Of 1888.
whether the display of meteors will
equal that of 1888 will be doubtful, but
in order that the reader may judge for
himself, an interview with Captain
liam H. Jenkins, a well known Cit
izen, who was an eyewitness to &he
phenomena in that year. is given
herewith:
1t was most appalling and ter
rifying sight,
The means Of accounting FOR the
extraordinary appearance of luminous
proiectiles shooting from the heavens
down to the earth. as were observed
on the12th and 18th of November.
1888, has not been satisfactorily ex-
planned, though attempted by men of
science in the new as well as the old
world
Hence, only those who witnessed
the rain of STARS have from time to
time INDUCED in abortive attempts to
convey to Others their remembrance
of that heavenly display of November
12 1888.
ION the night of the 18th of No
vember, 1888, l was about so miles
from Cape Henry, Va, on beard the
ship Harriet, of Baltimore, on our way
to Rio de Janeiro. Near midnight
and morning of the 18th became con-
fused, and, surprised at the constant
flashing of light in my room in the
caOln, as if from faint flashes of light
ming, l arose and went up on deck
hurriedly. l became at once blinded
and mystifed, speechless from the
flame of fire raining down from above
like a shower of snow, or, rather,
hail.
standing near the ships wheel, the
Captain and officers of the deck were
seemingly stunned. For some NOM
ents no one ventured a remark, and it
was not until the crew came running
aft, showing signs of distress. that any
one spoke a word.
The Captain, recovering, first re-
marked, This is the forerunner of
something, surely; maybe the end that
is promised to come.
81 shall net attempt to convey the
solemnity of all on board of the ship
that night; but it was the deep convic-
ton of all that our end was already
near. SO far as | was able to observe,
no one-save myself-showed the least
concern how near the end was Sail
ors, then. were disciplined men, ever
ready for what might be their lot. good
or evil.
after an hour or more, finding the
apparent fire perfectly harmless, l be-
gan to take courage. and endeavored to
examine its pecularities. I, as we'll as
others, found that this shower of fire
consisted of globules varying in size
from a walnut to Florida orange
some of them much larger They all
came down in regular, uniform, slant
ing ~.reclons, from South to North at
an angle of about 80 degrees from the
perpendicular, net crossing each other,
but falling gently, then bursting and
throwing out in horizontal direction
toward the North a stream of fire,
comprising all the prismatic colors,
the brightest and most beautiful that
can conceived by men, and then
vanishing gradually.
The large globule or star l noticed
in particular had a dark forest green
shade in the background, and from its
size was slower in descending, burst
ing and vanishing. continued watch
ing the phenomena until daybreak had
rendered them indistinct, and as the
sun rays illumined the eastern sky
made the stars no longer visible. -
