SCOTT NAMED.
He will go against MeGraw for the SEN
atorial plum warm caucas-Gof n
hot seeond-LOcal dissatisfaction.

Nathan Bay Scott was nominated
by the Republican caucus Friday
at Charleston on the eighteenth
ballot receiving twenty eight votes.
Golf was a close second and took in
fifteen. Atkinson plugged along at
the rear having two to his credit
when the nominating ballot was
taken.
The result of the caucus is not
very encouraging to the Republicans.
Their candidate is probably the
weakest man they could have named
outside of Atkinson. Two members
did not go into the caucus and 9th
ers have declared that they will not
support Scott. However they may
change their minds after it comes
down to matter Of have to or bolt.
Hunt and Hepponstall are the
men who did not go into the caucus.
Senator Fast is still against unseat-
ing any senators without cause and
he is discordant thorn to belooked
after by his party brethren.
At one time during the balloting
Golf forged to the front and it looked
like he would stampede the caucus
and take the plum but the Scott peo-
pie fought hard and finally landed
their man. Local republicans are not
very well pleased with the selection.
They wanted Golf for the greater part
and don't think that Scott is fit fol
the place. However it is still long
ways from election in his case.

A Travelling PostofIice.

The first real travelling postofficen
is expected to start on its rounds this
month ia Maryland. 1t is stout
covered wagon, manned by driver
and postal clerk, which will leave
the town Of Westminster every week
day morning, make circuit of more
than thirty miles through the sur
rounding country, and return to West
minister at night. There are eight
village psstoffices on the wagons
route. The travelling postmaster will
carry mail to them and receive it from
them. His wagon is fitted with cases
and pigeonholes so that he can assert
mail while he travels; and he will de-
liver mail to all residents along the
road who will take the trouble to put
up letter-boxes or to sswait for the
wagon.
He will be authorized, moreover, to
sell stamps. register letters and issue
money orders; and railroad town be-
ing the terminal of his circuit, the
conjunction of the travelling postoffice
and the railway mail car will bring
the farmer and the outside world very
near together. The travelling post
office is, we need hardly add, one OF
the experiments by which the govern
ment is trying to solve an imperative
problem-that of rural mail delivery.
If the plan succeeds long step will
have been taken toward the adoption
of reform which every one approves,
and which is delayed merely because
no one has devised way to carry ii
out

NO CHARTER CAN BE ISSUED.
Under West Virginia laws to organxa-
lions promoting religions work.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Jan. "a
The decision OF the Supreme Court in
the case OF w. e. Powell, and others
against the Secretary OF State handed
down is of Importance to the various
religious denominations In the State.
The petitioners had applied for a writ
of mandamus to compel the Secretary
of State to issue certificate OF incor-
poration to "The Baptist Missionary
Society of West Virginia" Upon the
hearing of the case which had been
submitted at the September term, the
court now holds that section forty
seven, of article six, of the State con-
stitution, inhibits not only the incor-
poration Of churches and religious de-
denominations, but that missionary
societies, church extension boards and
other organizations of like character
representing churches or organized for
church work cannot be chartered. 1t
follows that no church or denomina-
tion, no board OF church trustees,
committee or mission board can Sc
cure a legal status under the present
constitution, SO as to enable them to
make contracts, sue or to be sued, or
to take or hold requests. Surely this
would seem to be a hardship when
like corporations created under the
laws of other states can come into
West Virginia and enjoy these priyi-
leges. A bequest will be valid il
made to the general missionary so
ciety of the M. e. church, chartered
under the laws of New York, but will
fail If made to board of trustees of
the West Virginia conference.

Borne by Uncle sam.

"Pedagogue" writing in the Wheel
ing Intelligencer has the following TO
say which will interest people here:
Through the courtesy of President
Raymond. of our State University,
the writer has received copy of the
Biennial report Of the board OF regents
and the president Of the West Viz
ginia University for l897-y8. After
reading both reports carefully. be
must confess that although he has
tried to keep himself in touch, as far
as possible, with the great advance
ment made by the Institution during
the past few years, it is very much
greater than he had ever dreamed Of
II this carefully prepared report could
be read by all friends of education in
the state they would not only be
proud Of our University, bnt there
would be no difficulty in getting the
necessary appropriation t. make it in
deed, what it is fast becoming in spite
of all adverse circumstances, one of
the very leading institutions Of our
land. One thing in the report of the
president is worthy of commentator
above all Others, l. e., his bold stand
against allowing politics TO have any
thing whatever to do with the man
agement of the affairs of our Uniyer-
sity. This has been the bane of the
institution in the years vast. In say
ing this, l do not charge any one
party, for both have been to blame,
not only in regard to the University,
but also the normal schools. May
this never be the case with any of our
schools in the future, but may the
policy pursued toward them be SO
broad that it will be above the influ-
ence OF party or creed of any kind

An exchange gives the following
sound advice to business men: IF you
expect to conquer in the battle of to-
day you will have to blow your trum-
pet in firm and sturdy way. If you
do not foot your whistle, or lay aside
your horn, there is not living soul
will know that you were ever born.
The man that owns his acres is the
man that plows all day, and the man
that keeps humming is the man
that's here to stay. But the man who
advertises with a sort of sudden jerk
is the man who blames the printer be-
cause it does not work. The man
that gets the business uses lots Of
printers ink, not CHATTER, not spatr
ter, but an ad that makes you think,
And he plans his advertisement as he
plans his shelves and stock, and the
future OF his business is as solid as a
rock.
