The Next state Canvass.

The canvass for tho Democratic
nomination for Governor at the
next election has already begun
This is good sign. 1t indicates
the feeling on the part of the polit-
ical leaders that Democratic nom
ination next year is equivalent to
an election. The same may be said
of the candidates for the other state
offices. They are numerous and
each one is laying his plans to i'm
press upon the convention the fact
that he is the best fitted man for
the office he seeks of any that might
be mentioned.
1t is understood that with tho
exception of the Governor, who is
Ineligible for re. election, all of tho
present State officers will be candi-
dates for reelection. They insist
upon denomination as certificate
of good character.-Charleston Ga

How TRUSTS Operate.

One of the greatest evils in con-
nection with trusts is the power
they possess to depress the returns
of the producer. Whether the raw
material take the form of the work
ingman's brain and Drawn or the
products of the farms or mines or
the forests, it is all the same. Ul-
timately the profit must como out
of the class that gets the least. No
wonder popular prejudice against
trusts is constantly growing, Lou

PARKERsBuRG, w. VA, March 8.
Much surprise was occasioned at
Criminal Court this morning when
the State, on account of the sudden
illness of Prosecutor j. Il. Laird
and the absence of important wit
nesses, asked for the continuance
of the case of Wade Grant, which
was to have been heard to-day on
the indictment charging him with
raping Mrs. A. j Berry, the inva-
lid wife ofu Macksburg, o., oil man
in this city last October.
Judge jackson recognized the
existing state of affairs and compli-
mented the prosecutor and his as
sistant, Mr.. Showalter, very highly,
and although Grants attorneys
made strong plea for an immed-
late trial, the case was continued.
The court at once ordered the
negro to stand up, and in mapner
which met the hearty approval of
every one present, except the negro,
who took on that defiant, surly look
which has characterized him ever
since his arrest, gave him the full
extent of the law under the verdict,
and sentenced him to fifteen years
in the State penitentiary at
Moundsville.
When Criminal Court convenes
at the next term the negro will be
brought here and tried on the re-
naming charges.

A good many of the large land
owners of the state seem to be
pleased over the coming reassess-
ment in 1900 They think that the
land should really be assessed every
five years instead of ten, saying
that many coal lands become un-
productive and worthless in de-
cade, yet the assessment for tax
purposes remains until changed.
The argument is used that partic-
ularly in West Virginia, whore
there is SO much land of fuctuat-
ing value should there be an assess
ment every five years.

Trusts are industrial despotisms,
through their enormous wealth
they will WELD great political in
fluence. The gold standard which
is causing Capitalization Of wealth
makes the trust possible. The Re.
publican party now stands respon-
sible for the gold standard. Who
then is responsible for the trustsH
Most certainly the Republican par
ty. Kill the Republican party, the
pernioious principles it now advo-
Gates, and you kill the trusts.
The Republican party stands for
the gold standard. This means low
prices, high taxes, and trusts of all
kinds. Do the people mean to sup
port party that defends such a
policy? We think not. No party
can drift SO from the peoples inter
ests and expect to bs longer sup

GOVERNOR TUNNELS DUTY.

The pain duty OF the governor, in
the matter or the senatorial vacancy
in this state, is apparent to every
thoughtful Democrat who has the good
u his party and Of the state at heart,
and that is to IN the existing vacancy
without delay
This lis a crisis In the history Of the
Democratic party Of this state which
should be met fairly and squarely for
the good Of the Democratic party. 1t
is a question Of good politics.
The party for some time past has
been in a somewhat chaotic state. A
need for a ,eader who will lead is felt,
and theappointments should be promptly
made for that reason, III for no other.
The governor has nothing to do with
senatorial presidents. NO one Will
deny, surely, that the trainers OF the
Constitution Of the United States ever
contemplated any state TO be without
its full representation in the Senate OF
the United States, and where such va.
cancy has existed it has been politics
which made and kept the Vacancy.
Governor Stone. Of Pennsylvania, has
set the pace by appointing Matthew
Stanley Quay. He is followed by the
governor Of California 1t now be-
h0oves Governor Tunnel to do like
wise. without regard to the ultimat,
outcome OF his act.
We do not-uEge any particular cam
didate. The State OF Delaware has
p,erty CT materiaA But what we dc
say is that an appointment at this time
will bring untold benefits by giving tc
the Democracy OF Delaware a leader
who will get right down to hard work
now to the end that the party is solidi-
fed and an organization perfected that
will sweep tie state in the next e,ec-
ton, securing fer his appointes the sea-
beyond a doubt.
Give US an appointment ncw, and lei
the appOrtee take care of himself mex
December, when Congress meets. There
is p.enty Of law and precedent, and tn,
governor should move at once.
