Death Of Hon. Lewis Baker.


The wires last night brought the
sad intelligence of the death of
Hon. Lewis Baker, at Washington.
Mr.. Baker was we'll known to the
people of West Virginia, among
whom he spent the greater part of
his younger and vigorous life. He
came to West Virginia soon after
the war and acquired the Wheel
ing Register, the leading paper of
the State. Under his able guidance
the Register became power in
building up strong Democratic
organization in West Virginia.
His rare abilities and distinguished
services were recognized by the
party and he was several times
honored with the appointment as
delegate to tho national conven-
tions.
Mr.. Baker left West Virginia in
1885 and took charge of the ST
Paul Globe. In Minnesota, as in
West Virginia, he soon became a
power in politics and on one occa-
sion received they ofthe Demo-
Gratis in the Legislature for United
States Senator.
Mr.. Baker became editor of the
Gazette last summer and made it a
strong paper through the cam
paign. When winter came, the
climate was not suited to his health
and he broke down physically. He
went to Washington and to the
time of his death was very sick
man. Mr.. Bakers death will be
deeply deplored throughout the
State, but nowhere is there more
genuine sorrow than in the Office of
the Gazette where he was respected
and loved by aII.-Charleston Ga

Telegraphing without Wires.

Tclcgraphing without Wires.
The world of science and the as
ISOLATED world of trade and news
have been considerably stirred by
the reports Of the success of Sig
nor Marconi, electrician and in
ventor, in telegraphing from the
South Foreland Light House on
the English coast to Boulogne-sur-
Nor, in Franco, without connect
ing wire. The distance is thirty
two miles, and is the greatest dis
tanco that Marconi's mechanism
has yet overcome, though his OK
periments have been successfully
conducted for many months. The
principles of which he avails him
self were discovered by other in
vestigators, but he has been highly
successful in devising an apparatus
by which they are put to practical
use. 1t takes some knowledge of
electricity to understand precisely
what his apparatus is, though 1T is
described as SO simple that boy
can make use of it, His messages
are carried by electrical waves,
which he excites with transmitter
at one point and reads by means of
receiver at another. The dis
lance which the waves will travel
depends, apparently, on the heights
of the vertical conductor of which
he makes use. With a conductor
eighty feet high he can signal
eighteen miles. His messages
will pass through mountains with
out hesitation, and are not affected
by storms. His system is now
practically useful to enable ships
at sea to communicate with one
another and with the shore, for
telegraphing through mountains,
and for other purposes. What the
ultimate development of it may be
is past guessing, but is not expect
ed to supersede the telegraph, and
copper stocks arc not rs yet affect

The Philippine War.

The almost universal opinion
now is that the administration at
Washington has bungled the whole
Philippine business, and is placing
itself in the position of begging q
handful of the Filipinos for peace.
Having failed to conquer the little
band of patriots on the island of
Luzon, and with no prospect of
doing so, it is driven to the humili-
tating necessity of seeking to treat
with those whom it now regards as
rebels, but whom it insolentlY
spurned few months ago when it
could have treated with them as
allies without any loss of national
dignity. Heretofore the Washing
ton administration refused to re-
cognize tho Filipinos in arms as
having any right to ask what were
our intentions in the Philippines.
The natives of the islands were
snubbed and ignored, notwith-
standing the fact that we we're in
vading their territory, and as far
as they were able to judge of our
purposes, were seeking to set up as
cruel and heartless despotism as
that from which they had suffered
under Spanish rule. We affected
to despise their military pretensions
and treated them as lot of igno-
rant savages entitled to no human
rights. We affected to ignore the
fact, also, that Aguinaldo and his
followers were educated and capa-
bic of understanding international
law and political rights. We did
not deem it necessary to vouchsafe
fair treatment to the natives of the
Philippines.
The result of this short-signted
and high handed policy is national
embarrassment and humiliation. If
Aguinaldo and his cabinet had
been treated with the respect and
consideration they deserved. If
they had been recognized as having
interests and rights in their own
land, and an honest effort had been
made to come to an understanding
with them there would have been
no fighting between our armies and
the Filipinos and many of the
brave American soldiers who are
now sleeping under the sod in a
foreign land would long since have
returned to their American homes
in life and health. If the McKin-
ley administration has been as
anxious to confer with Aguinaldo
six months ago as it is now through
it's commissioners, the war in the
Philippines would have been avert
ed. The obstinate and short-sight-
ed Administration is now compelled
to assume the attitude of an hum
bio suffer for conference, and is
thus Inundated in the sight of the
world. Those who, months ago,
counseled moderation and urged
conciliatory measures with the
Fllipinos were denounced as trait
ors and their advice was spurned
by the willing tools of reckless i'm
perialists. The result is, the nation
must suffer.
The administration has sought to
prostitute a war for humanity into
one of conquest, and it must take
the consequences. The American
people will have but little sympathy
for the administration in it's pres
sent Observation-Disclosures

If the organization of trusts con-
tinues at the rate they have been
and are now being organized in
this country we will soon SEQ the
day when there will hardly be one
article of common use among men
the output and price of which will
not be controlled by a trust And
yet they say we are prospe-
rous and that the gold stand
ard is entitled to the credit.
We think the tariff is more respon-
sible for the trust, but if these COM
binations must be attributed to the
gold standard we want no better
argument against that policy. If
the people want relief from the
exactions of these gigantic combi-
nations they must drive the Re-
publican party from power, for
there is nothing clearer in our cur
rent political history than that the
Republican organization is con-
trolled by the money power of the

indianapolis, May 1.-Between 600

The miners now demand pay on the
same basis as in central and northern

cents for unmined coal.
Three of the largest mines agreed to
the conference scale, and at the head

will not be long continued. The labor
commissioners of Indiana will go to
