over.Confidence.

If the Republican leaders of
West Virginia are not careful they
may be victims of oyer-confidence.
OF late they have been talking as
though West Virginia had come
into the Republican column for all
time to como when they have no
assurance at all that such is the
case. 1t is true that the party has
twice carried the State but on both
occasions the democracy was at
great disadvantage. In 1894 the
country WAS in the midst of panic
which no party could Withstand.
1t seems almost as if wooden In
dian on the Republican ticket could
have won out in West Virginia
in that year. In 1896 West Yir-
ginia followed Maryland and other
hitherto Democratic States on the
silver issue and for the first time
in % years elected Republican
governor. The Democratic party
of the State was upset by the
Chicago platform just as it was in
many other States outside of the
west and south. 1t fell into the
Republican column largely through
the aid of disgrunted Democrats.
But in this campaign the situation
will be somewhat different. The
Republican State Administration
has weakened the party and Gov
ernor Atkinson has disappointed
This friends and delighted Ihis enc
/ies by his plumbers. The Re-
Ablican legislature we have had
has been mediocre, to say the least
and has done nothing especially
lheritorious. The new national issu-
es have sprung up and the silver
scare may not prove so potent in
winning Democratic voters in 1900.
Furthermore the Democratic or
ganization is more hopeful and de-
termined than it has been for some
years past and it's success in win
ming back the house of delegates
has given it renewed confidence.
All in all we fail to see on what
is based the sublime confidence of
some of our Republican friends.
The Democrats undoubtedly have
a good chance to win back the
State and the Republican leader
who proceeds on the idea that his
party has sure thing is making
a great mistake. Continued Re-
publican supremacy can only be
continued by the hardest efforts

DON'T Like Him.

The following is from the Ripley
Herald, a Republican paper. Evi-
IDENTIFY Bro. Deem don't like Hon.
w. w. jackson, and must have
gotten it's cue from the Republican
boss of Mason county, who had
him turned down" at the Repub-
lican county convention last year
because he wouldn't promise to
vote against Gov. Atkinson for U.
s. Senator. The Register thinks
Mr.. jackson very fair sort of a
man, and above all, it believes him
to be an honest man.
"aon. w. w. jackson, of Mason
county, has been telling the Hunt
ington Herald that "they're after
him to run for the Senate" Mr..
jackson represented Mason county
in the Legislature in 1895, and al
though he made hard fight for
denomination in '96, the Mason
county people would have no more
of him, 1t looks like a case of hot
"after him" when Mr.. jackson has
to go to Huntington to find news-
paper to give voice to the strong
continent in this Senatorial dis
trict for his return to public life.

The Pittsburg Times editorfalIy
says that West Virginia has the
railroad fever perhaps worse than
any other state in the Union.
North and south, in nearly every
valley that is not too forbidding,
schemes are laid, and from these
many schemes more or less new
work will come The Times notes
that thirty-six new roads are pro-
jected, and that, if a dozen of them
meterialize, it will make West yir-
ginia an uncommonlY busy section
of the Union for the next SCORE of
years, and probably, in that time
put the state in a new class.
The Times realizes the great re-
sources of West Virginia and its
wonderful possibilities in the way
of development, when it says that
these new railroads have in sight a
traffic that assures profitable bust
ness for years West Virginia is
the only hope of the oil man, it is
the state in which the biggest tim
ber deals are taking place, and in
West Virginia the coal development
is taking Systematic and expan-
siye turn.
"West Virginia has possessed
undeveloped wealth, and it's pres
ence was known for many years,
but the question was to get it out.
Railroads hesitated about climbing
mountains simply in the hope of
what freight could be found, when
in other directions easy grades and
greater density of population held
out inducements. Now, however,
it is changed and railroads are
learning that where the freight is
BUSINESS can be created"
"Few states have brighter flu
ture than this one of many noun
tairs," says the Times. West Yir-
ginia appreciates all the more this
tribute, coming, as it does from a
near and we'll wishing neighbor, in
great state whose Industrial inter
ests are SO similar, to which West
Virginia owes SO much for capital
which has aided her in the deyel-
opment of the wealth of resources
with which Nature has endowed
her. .

Lavish Expenditures.

The Democrats seem to be rather
lavish with the funds of our State.
When money has to be borrowed to
meet legitimate expenses, it is I'M
wise to make appropriations to
erect monuments to perpetuate the
name of the greatest of our heroes
who have fallen on the battle field.
Greater soldiers have given their
lives for their flag than either of
those now proposed to be honored,
whose graves have been barely
marked, if not entirely neglected.
If the State had abundant means
we should not say one word against
making liberal appropriations to
every commendable object. Men
should learn to be just, however,
before they are generous. Letthem
put their hands into their own
pockets instead Of the State Treas.
ury, if they wish to show their gen.
erosity or patriotism. The great
mass of voters are opposed to an
increase of their tax for any pur-
pose not absolutely necessary and
General Don ahoe will find this to be
true If he will consult his constitu-
ency in the Third ward of our city.
We hope the Senate will kill the bill
but If 1t fails to do so, the Governor
should veto it.

SENATOR John PYLE al a Demo-

SENATOR John Pyle as a Demo-
cratic politician, is playing smart
piece OF politics and the Republic
cans, with the exception of three,
voted for the bill in theSenate. The
cutting down Of the water rents 40
per cent will mean a raise OF over
20 per cent on the city tax rate. 1t
is foreseen that the city will beyond
doubt go Republican at the coming
election and the idea is to so place
the Republican party before the tax
payers, that the party would re-
ceive the odium which would result
at the following election, in defeat
for that party. The bill should not
pass the House, and if it does, the
Governor should veto it.
