whoa TELL THE TRUTH?

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Parkersburg Sentinel, hits those pros
perity boasting Republican organists,
who delight to point to the new rail-
roads and hundreds of miles of track
being laid in West Virginia as evidence
of what great prosperity makers they
are, pretty hard jolt as follows:
But here are some official Republican
figures that prove one of two things, either
that the Republican prosperity boomers
are lying, or that the State Board of Pub
lie Works are sometimes seen. In 1895, the
last year of Democratic control in West
Virginia, the railroads of the State Were
assessed at $22, 375, $40. For the succeeding
three years under Republicans the rail-
roads of the State were assessed as fol
lows:
For 1897, s21, S32, 343.
For 1898, $22 106.04S.
For 1899, Gncluding railroads not hereto
fore assessed, $22, $50, 356.'
1t will be observed that as soon as
the Republican bosses took hold al
Charleston they reduced the assess
ments of the railroads over a half a mil
lion of dollars at one clip. Our Park
ersburg contemporary pointedly adds:
within the period covered by these
items not a single farmer in the State
has had his assessment reduced. Every
cent taken off the railroads must be
added to some other property. 1t were
we'll for farmers and taxpayers to think
Of these things about voting time"

WANTED: PIG IRON AND LOTS OF IT

WANTED: PIG IRON AND LOTS OF 1T.
The meeting last week at Cleveland
of representatives of the Bessemer
furnaces in the Mahoning and Shenan-
go valleys showed a remarkable stu
alton.
According to report, with four
months yet to run the furnace output
of the entire year is taken up, and it
will take at least two months of 1900
to clear up this years orders. With
nothing more to sell the Bessemer
furnaces will make m quotations for
the balance of the year, and az the meet
ing on Saturday it was iot thought
judicious to consider the coming years
prices. 1t is stated, however. that Bes-
semer pig for next years delivery has
been sold at $22 Foundry irons are
also in active demand. as meters are
in full operation. There is not the
scarcity in this branch that there is in
Bessemer, but supplies are none toe
large.
The situation in the Mahoning and
Shenango valleys is sample of the
situation in the pig iron trade through
out the country. It's entire history in
the United States does not show
duplicate of the present situation.

ANIMPoRrANT DEAL.

The purchase of the West Virginia
Central railroad by the B. & O., as a
result of the latter roads inability to
pay the rental and fixed charges agreed
upon under the lease of that road held
by the B. & o. is an important change
by which the stockholders of the w.
Va. & P. get a liberal figure for their
stock, while the B. & o. acquires a
very valuable railroad property, which,
properly managed, should be decid-
eddy important and profitable branch
of the B. & o. system.
AS Senator Camden, the principal
stakeholder of the w. Va. & P. outside
of the B. & O., stated in an interview
in yesterdays Register, while it might
have been better in the long run for
some of the principal stockholders to
have retained their interest in the prop
erty. it would not have been for the
general interests of the property or for
the development of that section OF the
country through which the road passes.
The road is a lean property as it now
stands, and needs the capital and pro-
gressiveness of the B. & o. management
to sustain and develop it into paying
road"
This is the substance of the reasons
behind the deal, which is advantageous
to all parties concerned and especially
to that rich section of West Virginia
which the road taps.

Tyler Tribune.

Tyler Tribune.
Last week there was an article in
the Wheeling Intelligencer to the effect
that Charles Henning, of that city,
whom the Tribune mentioned couple
of weeks ago as being a candidate for
the nomination for State Auditor on
the Republican ticket, had decided to
retire from the race in favor of j. K.
Hail. of Wheeling The Tribune has
reliable authority for the statement
that there is positively no truth in this
statement on the part Of the Intelli-
gencer in the least. Mr.. Henning is
still in the race and it is the purpose
and intention of his friends that he
will continue in the race till the end,
and that when the nominations have
been made that he will be the nominee
if such thing is possible. What the
idea of the Intelligencer was in print
missed, unless it wanted to create an
impressioni that Mr.. Henning was not
a candidatein order that it might help
Mr. Hail. 1t is about time that Hall
would retire to private life and give
some of the other people in the State a
chance. He has been making a living
out of the public offices for some years
and he ought at leaststo lay off for a
year or two and giveFsome one else a

MORE .rREAcHERY" FROM DEWEY.


If the dispatch printed by the London
Daily News from its correspondent at
Rome is authentic in it's detail of an in
teryiew with Admiral Dewey at Naples,
which it is said was secured by the
friendly offices of the Secretary of the
American embassy at Rome. who re-
Gently presided at banquet rendered
the Admiral, then the administration
at Washington has another traitor on
its hands and the biggest one in the
bunch, in the person of Admiral Dewey,
and there will remain but one thing to
do. and that will be for Marcus Aurk
ferrous Hanna or the President to Or
der Gov. Tied" Roosevelt to arrest
Dewey for treason" the moment he az
rives at New York. According to the
Daily News correspondent Admiral
Dewey said:
II have the question of the Philippines
more at heart than any other American,
because l know the Filpincs ultimately
aT' they know / am their friend.
9Th, Filipinos are capable of govern ag
themselves; they have all qualifications for
it. III is a question of time, bur TIE

RE- ZION AND ASSURE PROSPERITY
- lHI ARCHIPELAGO IS TC CON-
eide PROCUREMENT TO THE
INHABITANTS. That would be a soi l.
ton of many questions and would sassy
all, especially the Filipinos, who believe
themselves worthy of it and are so.
Il HAVE NEVER BEEN IN FAVOR
OF VIOLENCE TOWARD THE FILIPI-
NOS The islands are at this moment
blockaded by a fleet and war reigns in the
interior. This abnormal state of things
should cease. l should like to see autono-
my first conceded and then annexation
might be talked about. This is my opin-
ion. l SHOULD LIKE TO SEE VIO-
LENCE AT ONCE PUT A STOP TO. AC-
CORDING TO MY VIEW THE CONCES-
SION OF LF-GOVERNMENT OUGHT
TO BE THE MOST JUST AND MOST
LOGICAL SOLUTION"
After this there is but one chance by
which Dewey may escape being lined up
with the other traitors" that are
swarming all over the United States
and continually outraging Mr.. McKin-
ley and his patriotic friends in Wall
street, and that is that the aforesaid in
terview may not be authentic, but there
is small chance of that, for what he is
represented as saying in this interview
at Naples corresponds exactly with the
official communication he cabled to the
Navy Department on June 23. 1898,
and repeated in another dispatch on
August 20 of the same year. In the
latter dispatch Admiral Dewey said:
I'm a telegram to the department on
June % I expressed the opinion that these
people are far superior in their intelligence
and more capable of self-government than
the natives of Cuba, and l am familiar
with both races Further intercourse with
them has confirmed me in this opinion
This unquestioned and official utter
ance from the great Admiral cores
ponds exactly with what he is reported
to have said in the Naples interview. II
IS, also, in complete harmony with his
statement to Rev. Clay MacAuley, a
japanese missionary. last January
Rather than make war of conquest oil
this people l would UP anchor and sail
out OF the harbor''
So, whether this particular interview
with the London Daily News CORE
spondent at Naples, is authentic or not

1t comedies exactly with recent lItter-
ances Of Admiral Dewey which are on
the official record.
The American people have more
faith in Dewey's utterances on the Phil
ippines question than in those of any
other living man, and If the great ma
val hero has taken this opportunity on
his voyage home to express his senti-
ments against war of conquest in the
Philippines it will be the hardest blow
vet dealt the administration unAmer-
lean policy of criminal aggression. =
And it will be one more confirmation
of the generally accepted reason why
Dewey was superseded in command at
Manila by Gen. Otis, the incompetent,
but flexible tool of the administration.
