ANOTHER JOB.

In 1891 subsidy bill passed
congress, which was so amended
the year following as to put mil
lions Of dollars into the pockets OF
the Standard Oil Company in the
way of subsidies for carrying the
mails to Europe, for which tho
country never derived cents
benefit This bill WIS passed to
stimulate the building up OF our
merchant marine, but it only re-
sesulted in stimulating the Stand
ard Oil company.
Another scheme is on foot to
also build up the American mer.
chant marine by the subsidy plan.
Articles. prepared at headquarters,
arc being sent after the manner
OF 1892 to the country press, with
view OF enlisting lis support to
make the scheme popular; but who
lis behind the plot is not revealed.
All subsidies are wrong in prin-
Pile, especially such ns are gwen
to foster and build up such mon.
opolies as the Standard Oil, etc.
Before any more subsidies are au-
thorized congress better investi-
gate the results of the acts of 1891
aud 1892, and see how much tho
Standard Oil has profited at the
expense of the people.

The bill for the removal of the

provides for commission to hunt

propriate money from this fund
pass, or even quarter of them,
there will be no money left in that

Governor Atkinson Recognizes the
House as Organized.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, Jan. 49,
There were indications of harmony
between the Republican Governor and
the Democratic House, as the Govern
or today recognized the organization
of the House by the transmission of
his biennial message to that body
through his private secretary. The
Senate met and adjourned without
having recognized the House, but it
is thought that all will be we'll tomor-
row, the Governor having taken the
initiative step toward reconciliation.
In the House, Mr.. Fisher, of the
committee on privileges and elections
reported on the Dent Brohard contest
and recommended that a sub-commit-
tee be created from the committee to
visit Grafton and recount the ballots
cast at the November election for the
contestant and contestee. The com
mittee was appointed and will leave
tomorrow to perform their labor.
Mr.. Harrison, of Morgan county,
introduced a bill providing for the
lease of the Berkeley Springs Hotel
property for a number of years to DR..
c. w. Chancellor, of Baltimore.

The unity" of the leaders of the
Democratic party is plainly visible in
the attitude of the three great trium-
virs, Grover Cleveland, Richard Crok-
er and William Jennings Bryan. Mr.
Cleveland is gold-bug and anti. ex-
pansionist Croker is gold bug and
expansionist. Bryan is silverite
and anti-expansionist. A cartoopist
could illustrate party unity in scene
with Grover in the center-the piece
de resistance, as it were-fasked on
his gold. bug side by Croker and on
the anti side by Bryan. The combi-
nation would be perfect. There would
not be a discordant note to mar the
harmony of the scene.

RATIFY THE TREATY.

The active opposition to ratification
OF the treaty of peace is confined to q
few individuals and to no political
party. They are in the main, the
same parties who opposed d. clara
ton of war against Spain and who
were determined to recognize the Gu
ban insurgents.
Events have proven that in the past
their theories were visionary and i'm
practicable, and the same will be
shown in the present instance. In
considerable in numbers, voluble in
speech and tenacious of purpose they
are able no torment an untold amount
of trouble. The men OF note in the
combination are Senators Hoar and
German. The former is Republi
can, old and crusty; the latter Dem
ocrat who has been defeated for re-
election and naturally inclined to be
churlish.
There is general division of senti-
ment as to the final disposition of the
Philippines. but an almost unani-
nous OPT. ion that the course OF events
is certain to indicate the proper line
of action. There is equal unanimity
of opinion that the treaty should be
promptly ratified The people will
look with suspicion upon anyone
who by causing delay produces trou-
BILE. Prompt ratification will do more
to suppress Aguinaldo than an army
of soldiers. Ignorant as he must be
construes delay to mean approval OF
his course. The result may be great
loss of life. II such should be the
case the distractions must bear the
odium.
The treaty will be ratified if not at
the present session, an extra session
will be called, which will act prompt
ly, as the majority of the obstruction
lists pass off the stage of action on the
fourth of March.
The time may come when the Fill
ipinos are entitled to full liberty OF
action, but all who know them agree
that they do not now comprehend the
meaning OF liberty. Left to them
selves they will become the prey OF
the despoiler and relapse into anarchy
and barbarism. Guided Alright, they
will eventually be law abiding peo-
pie.

How to Prevent Pneumonia.

You are perhaps aware that pneu-
monia always results from a cold or
from an attack of la grippe. During
the epidemic of la grippe few years
ago when so many cases resulted in
pneumonia, it was observed that the
attack was never followed by that
disease when Chamberlain Cough
Remedy was used. 1t counteracts
any tendency of cold or la grippe to
result in that dangerous disease. It
is the best remedy in the world for
bad colds and la grippe. Every
bottle warranted. For sale at Mat

A Frenchman has invented an Ell.
fective device to foil the purpose OF
the bicycle thief. He had a sharp
steel spike, some three inches in
length, fitted in the center of the sad
die of his machine and provided with
a spring joint. Thus equipped, the
cyclist rode up to his favorite cafe in
Paris, leaving his vehicle outside af-
ter duly fixing his insidious bayonet.
A few minutes later one of the ma
RAIDERS so common in Paris came
along, saw his chance, wheeled the
bicycle into the middle of the road,
and hoped in the twinkling of an eye
to distance all pursuit. Scarcely had
he started before agonizing shrieks
summoned crowd to the spot, and
the impaled victim was picked up
bathed in blood The inventor is so
delighted with. the success of his ex-
pertinent that he has applied for a
patent.

The growth of postal busire ss is
one of the wonders of the age. In
1880 the gross revenue OF the depart
ment was $33,3I5,47o and the gross
expenditure was S36,542, 8o4; the
number OF post offices was forty three
thousand, and the total number OF
postage stamps, stamped envelopes
and wrappers, and postal cards issued
was I, 1867, 3o7, o47. In the fiscal year
1898 the gross revenue was $50,
6I9 and the gross expenditure was
So8, o33,523; the number of postof-
fees was seventy-three thousand,
and the total issue of postage stamps,
stamped envelopes and wrappers,
and postage cards was 4,6I4, $40, 900.
Within this period our population has
increased about Fifty per cent, while
the volume of postal business has
multiplied nearly three-fold. The
lesson of improved facilities, more
enlightened methods, and advancing
activity is plain.
