EAGAN'S SPLENDID REWARD.

For day or two of late hope was
entertained that Eagan's suspension
from service for six years would be
without pay, but former decision of
the department has been found accord
ing to which Eagan will receive full
pay.
Thus for filthy and indecent black
guardism of his superior officer, the
head of the army, for gross insubordi-
nation and conduct unbecoming an
officer and a gentleman. and for dis
gracing the service and undermining
its discipline, this foul-mouthed black
guard receives a reward of six years
furlough at full pays, 500 a year!
If any officer were to ask a furlough
of six months with full pay as reward
for gallant conduct he would be laughed
out of the war department as a pre-
sumptious idiot. Yet, blackguard Ea-
gan, convicted before a court-martial
of offenses that should have insured
his summary dismissal from the army
in disgrace, is given furlough for
the rest of his army life, at the expira-
ton of which he will be re-instated
and retired with full honorsi
This is President McKinley's reward
of Eagan for openly Safeguarding his
superior, Major General Miles, whose
adherence to duty and manly cham
pionship of the cause of his soldiers
has made him persona non grata to
the President and his administration,
No one can accuse the President of
not taking good care of his own.

TIE LEGISLATURE OF 80 AND IT'S
LESSONS

The epitaph of the Legislature of 1899
is soon written. Barring the notorious
first Republican Legislature in twenty
live years. in 1895, which filled the stat
ute book with laws that would not
stand IN the courts, the Legislature of
1889 was the worst in our history so
far as practical results go and it's great
cosc practically represents so much of
the taxpayers money thrown away. It's
record is better than that of the Leg
lslature of 1895 only in a negative way
in the things it did not do. Where
the Legislature of 1895 did wrong the
Legislature of 1899 did nothing. The
one was full of corruption and incom-
petence, the other wasted its time and
the peoples money in manoeuverlng
for partisan political advantage.
The late Legislature politically was
neither fish, flesh nor fowl and while
composed of likely enough member
ship so far as it's personnel was con-
cerned and while it might have per-
formed valuable service as a legisla-
tive body under other circumstances.
party politics in the upper house. whose
majority was controlled by the Elkins-
Dawson-White ring, stepped in and eff
fectually blocked the way to the per-
Torrance of duty.
This point cannot be brought too
prominently before the people who will
pass upon the stewardship of the two
political parties so evenly divided in
that body.
Not one particle of blame for the dis
graceful waste of the legislative session
attaches to the Democrats. This is GER
tain. In Senate and House from the
opening of the session they stood to
perform their duty. In the House
where they controlled the organiza-
ton no time was wasted in getting to
work; but without the coordinate
branch little could be accomplished.
Not day nor an hour did the Dem
ocrats of either branch waste in schem-
ing for partisan advantage. Indeed.
to expedite matters and prevent the
carrying out of the oppositions mad
programme of revolution, the Demo-
Gratis conceded points they were not
called upon to concede and should not

AS MIR. McKINLEY's CLOSE FRIEND
SEES 1T

Senator Sewell, of New Jersey, a close
personal friend of Mr.. Mckinley, who
rendered him an appointment as Major
General, which Mr.. Sewell declined,
says Mr.. McKinley's Philippine policy
is simply one of brutal determination.
Mr.. Sewell declares that he implored
the President to order Dewey away
from Manila after he had whipped the
Spanish, in order to avoid this entan-
clement. The President refused. and
Mr.. Sewell declares that SO far from
the Philippine burden" having been
thrust" upon the President it was de-
liberately sought and created by him.
Mr.. Sewell might have added that Mr..
McKinley's entire policy in endeavoring
to grab these islands and wrest them
from their inhabitants was and is die
tated by greedy Wall street capitalists
who see dollars in the job
This is the plain, blunt truth of it.

their homes until next December.
army bill by large majority when
the vote is taken.
The appropriation bills will demand
almost all the attention of the Senate
after the army bill is out of the way
and the Senate will have to materially
increase the length of sessions in order
to secure their enactment into laws.
There are still five of these bills which
have not as yet received attention from
the Senate and five others which are in
conference and which will require more
or less consideration on conference re-
ports
The bills in conference are those pro-
viding appropriation for the Indian Of
fee, Postoffice and Agricultural Depart
ments, and for the District of Columbia,
and the improvement of rivers and har
bors. There are no radical points of
difference in any of these bills except
in the river and harbor bill, but there
are many questions requiring adjust
ment and they will necessarily demand
time for this purpose. The river and
harbor bill carries the Nicaragua canal
provision and other additions appro-
priating large sums of money. The
five bills which have IT been reported
to the Senate are:
The sundry civil, the naval, the army,
the Notifications and the general def
cheney. All are important and each will
require considerable time for dispos
al. OF these five the Committee on APP
preparations has considered only the
sundry civil bill. The Senate will get
them all through, however, unless I'M
expected opposition should be devel-
oped to some of them.
The calendar is full of bills of a
private and semi-private nature and
also contains many measures OF general
public Importance. Many of these are
unobjectionable to all the members of
the Senate, and a majority of those of
this class will pass.
The beginning of the day sessions
will probably be advanced to 10 or II
o'clock each day of the day and night
sessions are also counted upon for the
greater part of it.

that Mr.. Scott was not legally elected.
1t is proof that majority of the legally
elected members of the Legislature did
not vote for him as required by law.
1t is proof that the joint assembly was
not legal body, all the members en-
titled to vote in it not being permitted
to vote. 1t is proof that if the full legal
vote had been cast according to law
neither Mr.. Scott nor any other Repub-
lican could have been elected United
States Senator.
This petition, alone, accompanied by
the proof that its signers were legally
elected members of the Legislature
should be sufficient, we repeat, to bar
Mr.. Scott. And it will be if any con-
siderable number of Republican Sena-
tors of the United States have any re-
gard whatever for the law.

The American people are confronted
daily with two deep poison mysteries
which appear to be growing deeper.
The Adams case in New York seems
as far from solution as ever and in
the other, the poisoning of the troops
with embalmed beef, the court, backed
by the war department, is industriously
getting farther and farther away from
the poisoner, or prisoners. In the Adj
ans case the poisoner was at first sup
posed to be hiding behind big politi-
cal pull; in the embalmed beef case the
prisoners are known to be so shielded,
for they contributed lavishly to the
Hanna slush fund which elected Will
lam Mckinley.

have conceded, merely to preserve har-
mony and law and order which the
desperate opposition leaders threatened,
and were ready to overthrow.
1t has been said that the Democrats
permitted themselves to be bluffed out
| of the United States Senator. And
there is color of truth in the sneer-
| supposing the United States Senate
shall seat Mr.. Scott-but there was
| no bluff in the revolutionary threats of
| the Elkins-White crowd to throw out
| the entire Democratic membership of
| the Senate and with the Republican
| minority of the House form a rump
Legislature, which would have been
duly recognized by the Governor. The
revolutionists were primed for such ac-
ton, which would have meant solid
phalanx of hold-overs for Mr.. Elkins
in 1901.
The concessions made by the Demo-
Gratis resulting in the fraudulent cleo
! ton of Mr.. Scott as Senator were made
to prevent revolution. The Democrats
acted with a view solely to the best
| interests of the State To prevent
| condition of practical anarchy and
bloodshed they did not hesitate to sac
rifice party advantage. And this, the
Register submits to the people of all
parties, is to the eternal honor of the
Democrats of the Legislature of 1899
and their conservative and patriotic
| leaders.
The Democratic party may have lost
United States Senator by this noble
| sacrifice of party interests to the well
fare of the State and the preservation
of its reputation, but the party will
| in the end be amply repaid in the in
creased confidence of the people of
| West Virginia in its sturdy honor and
the patriotism of its leaders.
AS for the part played by the opposi-
| ton in the late Legislature, it has kill
ed the Republican party in West Vir-
ginia. This is not an idle or ill-con-
sidered utterance. 1t is the truth, rec
ognized by every intelligent Republi-
can who understands the situation.
The actions of the dominant party's
| leaders have so disguised the honest
rank and file of that party that it will
not remain the dominant party in
West Virginia after the next election.
| Republican supremacy in this State
has simply been one prolonged politi-
cal debauch in which the interests of
the State and it's people have suffered
immense harm. The acts and schemes
of the Republican leaders in the late
| Legislature made the cap sheaf of in
| fanny. After four years full and i'm
partial trial under the most favorable
| circumstances the Republican party
! as represented by it's present leaders
has proven its utter worthlessness and
incompetence. False to every trust,
| its leaders, have long since forfeited
popular confidence and the people of
| West Virginia have sorely regretted
the day when, lured by false but bril-
liant promises, they turned down hon.
est, safe and wise Democratic rule for
the present order of things.
Republican leadership in West Vir-
ginia has been weighed in the balance
and found wanting. The handwriting
| is on the wall.
1t is now Democracys turn.

THE FINAL RUSH At HAND.
Continued from First Page.

Hepburn chairman of the Interstate
Commerce Committee, will move con
currence in the canal amendment which
motion is in order and will take prece-
dence
But as the amendment carries an APP
preparation it must be considered in
committe of the whole first and here
its opponents will make their first
fight. Obstructive tactics can be en-
ployed but it lies in the power of the
majority to win the end and it is prob
able that upon a vote the House may
agree to the amendment. But this will
not end the contest by any means. 1t
can be transferred to all conference
reports upon the bill and prolonged to
the jeopardy of the appropriation bills
to such an extent that it would seem
that in the final issue the friends of
the canal amendment will be effectuaI-
ly blocked unless they can command
the necessary two-thirds to suspend
the rules. If they can the bill will
probably become law with the canal
amendment in it. If they cannot the
bill will probably fall unless the Sem
ate at the last moment jettisons it.
Taken altogether the promise is for
most interesting and memorable week
