MAKE FLOOR LEYEL.
Mayor Drew Wants the Auditorium
Plans Changed.

Mayor Drew is making an effort to
have the auditorium plans changed in
one particular. He thinks that a large
part of the main floor should be level
According to the plans, as they now
stand. they provide for a slightly slop-
ing floor, the grade being about half
an inch to the foot.
Mayor Drew said today: TT seems
to me that there ought to be no differ
ence on this point. 1t is possible that
the auditorium viii be used for balls
and it is certain to be used for han
quets, food shows and things of that
kind.
Il used to dance some when was
younger and do not believe that 1
could have enjoyed myself on a slop-
ing floor and I doubt if any one else
can. In the event of a banquet it would
hardly be practicable to set tables on
a floor that was not level. The same
rule would apply to booths in the event
of a food show.
I would like to see the building made
so that it would be available for all
these purposes"
A. K Wilson, state secretary of the
Masonic society, inspected the plans
today to see whether state meetings Of
the order could be held in the building
and he at once said that they could not.

CHEAPER GAS.
Now Looks AS IfIt May Be Sc
cured.

The gas committee of the city council
met Thursday night and went over the
ordinance submitted by Mr.. w. J.
Faulkner, the Chicago man who pro-
poses to establish a gas and electric
light plant in this city. City Attorney
w. A. S. Bird, who recently had a con-
ference with Mr.. Faulkner in Chicago,
met with the committee and assisted in
making what changes were deemed
necessary in the ordinance.
Mr.. Bird expressed himself as be-
lieving that Mr.. Faulkner is in earnest
about his proposition, and said he
thought there would be no difficulty in
securing a satisfactory bond from the
Chicago man in the event the ordinance
is passed. The bond would be furnish
ed by Faulkner before the ordinance
was signed by Mayor Drew.
The amended ordinance will be pre-
scented at the next meeting of the city
council, and will then be considered.

The facts are Mr.. Curtis has kept
entirely aIOOf from this fight. Knowing
that he had good friends on both sides
of the contest, he knew it would not
be wise to take a part in the interest
of either even if he had been so dis

been his policy to never interfere in

ture of 1899 and their conservative
and patriotic leaders.
The Democratic party may hay
lst a United States Sci ator by this
noble sacrifice of party interests to
the welfare of the State and the
preservation of its reputation, but
the party will in the end be amply
repaid in the increased confidence
of the people of West Virginia in
sturdy honor and the patriotism of
it's leaders.
AS for the part played by the OPP
position in the late Legislature, it
has killed the Republican party in
West Virginia. This is not an idle
or ill-considered utterance. 1t is
the truth, recognized by every in
telligent Republican who under
stands the situation, The actions
of the dominant party'e leaders have
SO Disguised the honest rank and
file of that party that it will not re-
main the dominant party in West
Virginia after the next election,
Republican supremacy in this
State has simply been one prolong-
cd political debauch in which the
interests of the State and its peo-
pie have suffered immense harm.
The acts and schemes of the Re
publican leaders in the late Legis-
lature made the cap slleufofinfamy.
After four years full and impartial
trial under the most favorable cir
cumstanccs the Republican party
as represented by its present lead
er5 has proven it's utter worthless
ness and incompetencY. False to
every trust, its leaders, have long
forfeited popular confidence and
the people of West Virginia have
sorely regretted the day when, lured
by false but brilliant promises, they
turned down honest, safe and wise

balance and found wanting, The

If the Holy Catholic Church was
meant by the Lord to be Congre-

Says Chillingworth: "When 1
shall see all the fables of the Meta
morphesis acted and proven true
stories; when shall see oil the de-
mocracies and missionaries in the
world lie down and sleep and awake
into monarchies, then will 1 begin
to believe that another government,
having continued in the Church
during the Apostles times, should
soon after, against the Apostles
doctrine and will of Christ, be
whirled about like scene in n
masque, and transformed into
Episcopacy.
1 conclude thus: Episcopal gov
ernmont is acknowledged to have
been universally received in the
Church soon after the Apostles
times.
Between the Apostles times and
the time when Episcopal govern
ment is universally acknowledged,
there is not time nor possibility for
SO great an alteration.
Therefore there was no such al

THE LEGISLATUItIG OF 80
AND IT'S LESSONS.

The epitaph of the Legislature
of 1899 is soon written. Barring
the notorious "first Republican
Legislature in twenty-five years"
in 1895, which filled the statute
book with laws that would not stand
in tho courts, the Legislature of
1899 was the worst in our history
so far as practical results go and its
great cost practically represents SO
much of the taxpayers money
thrown away. It's record is better
than that of the Legislature of 1898
only in negative way-in the
things it did not do Where the
Legislature of 1895 did wrong the
Legislature of 1899 did nothing.
The ono was full of corruption and
incompetence, tho other wasted it's
time and the peoples money in
manmuvering for partisan political
advantage.
The late Legislature politically
was neither fish, flesh nor fowl and
while composed of a likely enough
membership so far as its personnel
was concerned and while it might
have performed vuluall~ rvice MS
n Legislative body under other cir
cumstances. party politics in the
upper house, whose majority was
controlled by the Republican
ring, stepped in and effect
ualIy blocked the way to tho per-
Torrance of duty.
This point cannot be brought too
prominently before the people who
will pass upon tho stewardship of
tho two political parties SO evenly
divided in that body,
Not one particle of blame for the
disgracefuI waste of the Legislative
session attaches to the Democrats.
This is certain. In Senate and
House from the opening of the SEES
sion they stood to perform their
duty In the House where they
controlled the organization no time
was wasted in getting to work; but
without the coordinate branch lit
tic could be accomplished.
Not day nor an hour did the
Democrats of either branch waste
in scheming for partisan advant-
age. Indeed, to expedite matters
and prevent the carrying out of the
opposition's mad programme of
revolution, the Democrats conced-
ed points they were not called up
on to concede and should not have
conceded, merely to preserve har-
mony and law and order which the
desperate opposition leaders throat
ened, and we're ready to overthrow.
1t has been said that the Demo
Gratis permitted themselves to be
blnffed out of tho United States
Senator. And there is color of
truth in the sneor-supposing the
United States Senate shall seat Mr..
Scott-but thore was no bluff in
tho revolutionary threats of the
Republican crowd to throw out
the entire Democratic membership
of the Senate and with the Republi-
can minority of the House form a
rump Legislature, which would
have been duly recognized by the
Governor.
The concessions made by
the Depoorats resulting in the
lent election of Mr.. Scott as Sena-
tor were made to prevent revolu-
ton. The Democrats acted with
view solely to the best interests of
the State. To prevent condition
of practical anarchy and bloodshed
they did not hesitate to sacrifice
party advantage. And this, the
Register submits to the people of
all parties, is to the eternal honor
of the Democrats of the Legisla-

The silver question is question
of money supply, and the money
supply the value of wheat and
every other thing that is bought
and sold depends The very es-
sence of the bimetallists' conten-
ton is that the decentralization of
silver forced down the prices of
commodities in general and injured
other producers hundred times
more than it did the producersEof
silver. If we assume the annual
silver product of the country to be
5O,OOO,OOO ounces, a change of 10
cents an ounce either. way makes a
difference of $5,OOO,OOO in value.
If we assume the wheat crop to be

value.
