SOME of our people cannot see the philophosy of subscribing to the railroad bonus and rlght-of-way fund. l hey say that il a road is going to be built, jt WiiI Dc built regardless of whatever subscrip- tions may be given. Now, we reason on it in thIs way: Will a road benefit us Will it enhance the value of our property? Ger, tainly all would answer these questions in the affirmative. Again all will concede that town-building is perfectly legitimate, and that railroads, as we'll as individuals, have right to engage in the business, aud 1t is presumed that they will engage in it ii there is any money in il, especially when they spend millions of dollars to build road into a country. Now, is njust for the railroad company to ask q donation from the vicinities to be benefited, and  in case ot their refusal, would it not be the part of good business sense for the railroad to procure and sell off new town sites in order to make money ? We believe that a serious, unpredjudiced considera- ton will prompt all who are to be benefited to assist in increasing our subscription as much as possi bic What is needed now is subscription to the right-of-way fand and should more be subscribed than is necessary the amount wlIl be prorated among the su bscribers and the burden would thereby fall equally on all.

AS TO MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP

The ether day the Register published
an interesting communication on the
subject of municipal ownership, the
sentiments of which and the general
views expressed therein the Register
heartily applauds.
But let our correspondent consider
the situation in this city for a moment,
and in the light of careful and sober
reflection see if he is ready to turn
over to the tender mercies of the City
Hall crowd any more of our public
our correspondent says, municipal
ownership is bound to come and is the
solution of many problems that now
confront the people, hut before we try
it had we better not make sure that we
have at the head Of our municipality
the kind of men whom we would wish
to entrust with the management of
more important branches of the public
service than they now control?
Imagine the City Hall gang running
the street railway! What a grand ad-
junct to 1.-The machine" it would be!
What graft" for the ring! Employ
ment on that institution would then be
made a reward for political service rem
dered in the noble art of ward heeling
We can readily imagine the kind of
service the citizens would get On the
street cars if the line were turned over
bodily to be operated by the bosses who
now run the city in the interest of
themselves and their machine.
Before we contemplate adding to our
municipal works under the present re-
gime, suppose we wait until our present
city government is able to properly op-
crate the utilities the municipality now
controls. 1t is notorious that, properly
managed, the city could furnish gas at
a much lower figure than it does. Like
wise as to water. The people of
Wheeling are supposed to enjoy better
advantages than the people of smaller
communities, yet we believe the people
of both Charleston and Clarksburg-
the latter a town of but four or five
thousand inhabitants-pay less for
water than We do in Wheeling. The
truth is that We should have both cheap
water and cheap commercial lighting
in this city if these institutions were
run in the interests of the people in
stead of, as at present, in the interests
of gang of irresponsible and merce-
nary politicians, who are always on the
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1899-04-19
FALsEHOou PURE AND SIMPLE.

The other day the Republican organ
of Fourteenth street published a mass
of stuff from Grafton which was most
highly spiced and most highly sensa-
tional anent the alleged discovery by
the grand jury of Taylor county OF
further evidence of Democratic
frauds" in the late election in that
county.
1t is not necessary here to review the
sensational charges made in our neigh
boris Grafton dispatch. Suffice it TO
say that there was not a line or word
of truth in it from beginning to end.
There was not one iota of evidence sub
mitted to the grand jury showing even
remotely that q single ballot had been
illegally tempered with in the interest
of any Democratic candidate. Nor
were the ballots found to have been in
any way disturbed since their examina-
ton by the legislative committee.
In fact, the Intelligencer's report
was tissue of deliberate falsehood
from beginning to end. Why a sheet
pretending to give the news should
thus attempt to pervert the truth,
which was notorious to everybody in
Grafton and Taylor county, and which
was promptly published in the col
umns of the Register, is past finding
out. 1t is miserable business involv-
ing as it does the foul SANDER. of a
dead man, who cannot resent the brutal
attack, and an aspersion for political
purposes upon his living brother, who
is included in the animosity against the
dead.
On the other hand, if the Intelligen-
Ger was deceived by correspondent it
owes an explanation and apology to the
community it has so foully and base
lessly slandered.
We have had enough of this kind Of
vicious politics in this State. 1t is an
injury to the State and decent citizens
of both parties should enter against it
a protest that will be needed.

A BAD ERROR.

Clarksburg Mail.
Our recent Legislature passed an act
providing for the re-assessment of real
estate. The bill was passed on the
Goth day of February to take effect
May Goth. 1S99-90 days after it's pas
sage. Section A of this remarkable act
requires that the assessment commits
sioners appointed by the county court
under the act shall begin their duties
on the FIST of April 1S99'-ffty days
before the law goes into effect. If our
State solons did no better job at SEN
ator making than they did at law max
ing, the entire work of the last Legis-
lature might with propriety be entered
in red ink on the State ledger in the
profit and loss column.

~ not enough troops n the nfeHfpel-

Gen. Lawton's withdrawal from the
country south OF Manila because he
could not hold it clearly shows the sit
uation there even had we not Gen.
Lawton's word for it in an evidently
uncensored dispatch that it will require
100000 men to subdue the Filipinos.
One hundred thousand men is the
entire armed force of the United States
authorized under the new army bill
1t must not be supposed that the ex-
perienced army officers now on the
ground exaggerate the situation. They
are not the men to do that. II any
thing they underestimate the truth,
for it is doubtful il even 100000 men
could garrison and control the entire
immense archipelago with its ever
restless, intriguing and rebellious pop
ulation.
Common sense in the light Of the
experience of the Spanish in these is
lands should have told the President
these things before he embarked on
this crazy and possibly disastrous en-
terprise SO foreign to our traditional
policy and the spirit of our free insti-
tutions.
What is the President going to do
about it? Is he going to allow par
tisan political considerations to stand
in the way of sending needed aid to
our gallant troops in the far East? Is
he going to funk on the imperial en-
terprise of Wall street because it will
be unpopular to ship a mighty army
the flower of the nation-to the other
side of the earth to engage in this
work of slaughtering savages and COB
bling islands we have no use for and
do not want?
The President must remember that
having entered upon this enterprise it

popular or unpopular. Our flag can
not be disgraced in the far East nor
can we permit our splendid troops to
remain without re-inforcements. The
retreat to Manila of Gen. Lawton, who
was forced to abandon territory he
had taken will serve to immensely en-
courage the insurgents The advent
of the rainy season will do much more
to encourage them and to dampen the
ardor of our brave troops.
This situation cannot be permitted
to continue for long else our gallant
army stands to lose a very large por-
ton of the ground they have so val
iantly won.
Now that we have embarked in this
Philippine business we must carry it
through. We cannot turn back. The
President should properly reinforce our
army in the archipelago though he has
to issue draft for soldiers to do it.
Partisan political exigencies at home
should not be permitted to influence
this grave matter.

GETTING TOGETHER.


Regardless of the fuss and fury rails
ed in New York over the Jefferson Day
celebration on which Tammany and
the Chicago platform Democracy split,
there lis every promise of Democratic
harmony in the coming campaign of
1900. Not that the believers in the
gold standard in the Democratic party
will abandon their ideas and take up
with free coinage at 16 to 1, or on the
other hand, that the Democracy which
stands for bi-metallism will abandon
its principles. There are greater and
more pressingly important issues which
must be faced in the coming campaign
in which the country is more vitality
interested than in the currency ques-
ton, which could not be settled in that
election in any event so long as the
Senate remains Overwhelmingly Re-
publican, as it ust-unfortunately for
many reforms-for several years to
come.
Sensible Democrats realize the sit
nation and are calling a truce on use
less and disorganizing strife over the
currency question.
One of Mr.. Bryan's strongest oppon-
ents in the last Presidential campaign,
the Louisville Courier-Journal, admits
that Mr.. Bryan would make a good
President" Editor Watterson adds:
"Mr. Bryan, upright, highly instructed
in affairs and patriotic, would make a
President of whose administration OF
the public business no true American
would need to he ashamed, or afraid"
Indeed, Col. Watterson is not even
afraid Of free coinage at Is to /, which.
he realizes, could not be enacted into
law by Mr.. Bryan, himself, if elected
President, without the consent Of Con-
gress. In the following our Kentucky
contemporary doubtless voices the
views of the great majority of Gold
Democrats"
1.-THE Presidenttis a powerful factor in
the government. But he is only a CO.
ordinate branch of the government. There
are the Congress land the Supreme Court.
With Altgeld and Tillman practically
eliminated from the Chicago platform
as they substantially are-with nothing
in it more dangerous than the free coin
age of silver at the ratio of is to l, which
would have very nearly as little hope I'M
der Bryan as it had under Mckinley, and
Is as practical measure and in any
event, as dead as the institution of Afri-
can slavery-there is no bar to the support
of Mr.. Bryan in 1860, in the minds of
conscientious, thoughtful Democrats who
do not like the perpetuation of a single
dynasty in the national administration,
and that the dynasty of organized cap
ital',
It this means anything it means
that this leading organ of the gold
Democracy, which bitterly opposed Mr.
Bryan in 1896, will not oppose him,
but on the contrary will heartily sup
port him in 1900.
The gold men among the Democrats
are realizing that there are more
alarming things than the 16 to bogy,
things that threaten the immediate fu-
ture Of the American people And not
the least Of these are imperialism and
the trusts, or, as Editor Watterson
puts it, "the perpetuation of a single
dynasty in the national administration,
and that the dynasty of organized cap
ital." On these issues all Democrats
all true Americans believing in our
free institutions can unite.
