rIREo FOR LEsE mAJrsrE.

One of the ablest and most eXper-
fenced clerks in the War Department
has been dismissed for lese majestic, for
criticising in a letter His Imperial
Highness William of Canton. He is
Noble E. Dawson, 81 200 clerk, who
has held many confidential positions
under prominent men. Mr.. Dawson's
criticism of Emperor McHanna is good
and pointed enough to bear repetition.
His offense was this:
Il TRUST THAT WHEN THE WISE
AND PATRIOTIC ADMINISTRATION
GETS BACK FROM ITS SWING
AROUND CAMPAIGN, HAVING SHOWN
THE BUCOLrC VOTERS THAT 1T WAS
MCKINLEY WHO CAUSED THE BOUN-
TIFUL CROPS TO GROW, SALTED THE
KLONDIKE WITH A WEALTH OF COL
DEN NUGGETS AND FURNISHED EN-
PLOYMENT QN THE PHILIPPINES
TO OUR UNOCCUPIED NEEDY, YOU
WILL, UNDAUNTED BY THE SPEC
TIRE so APPLY LIMNED BY THE AU-
TUMNAL POET IN HIS LUMINOUS
PHRASE, THE DEWEY SKIRTED
CLOUDS IMBIBE THE SUM- AGAIN
TACKLE THE COLONIAL POSTAGE
MATTER"
This was more than Emperor Will
liam could stand from a hireling and
so Secretary Root welded the official
axe and off came the veteran clerks
gray head.
The fact that three of Mr.. Dawson's
four sons, all of whom went through
the Spanish war, have been at the point
of death from Cuban fever as a result
of their experience, causing Mr.. Daw-
son great worry, anxiety and expense,
did not weigh against the offense to the
dignity of William of Canton, though
the biting sarcasm constituting that Of
tense was wrung from the bitter an
guish of a fathers heart.
1t must be understood hereafter that
this imperial administration can do no
wrong and hence is not open to criti-
cism; and if any be attempted said
imperial administration will get back
good and hard at the critic if it can
reach him, regardless of any past SER
vices or patriotic sacrifices he may
have made for his country.

THE CENTRAL GLASS WORKS.

A strong effort is being made to in
duce the stockholders OF the Central
Glass Works to once more commit the
folly of selling out to the glass trust.
The offer of the trust is we'll calcu-
lated to tempt the short-sighted to
make deal which would allow them
considerable margin in cash in closing
out their holdings to the combine.
But the Register does not aelieve that
the stockholders of the Central, who
were sufficiently far-sighted to see the
ACCESSIBILITY of buying back the present
works from the trust and sufficiently
confident in its future to spend their
money in rejuvenating the stripped
plant, will now be foolish enough to
undo all their efforts to re-establish the
industry in Wheeling, which have been
SO signally crowned with success, mere
ly Il realize the few extra dollars in
cash8 ffered by the trust.
Lecthem consider that when they
AdfC POShSlCQ lAAo bOnuh II Will De the
last profit they will ever take out of the
old Central and will probably mean the
end of the glass industry in this city.
Will they not thus lose infinitely more
in the long run than they would gain
from the cash offer of the trust, tempt
ing though that offer may be? This
loss would not be confined directly to
a loss of dividends they would gain
from the independent operation of the
works, but would indirectly strike them
in all their dealings as citizens of
Wheeling, which would again and
doubtless finally be deprived of all
share in the glass industry. For it
goes without saying that the trust
wishes to buy this plant simply to rid
itself OF the competition and would
close 1t down and dismantle 1t as be-
fore. And, moreover, it is safe to pre-
dict that should this industry receive
another such blow in this city it would
not survive it second time. The

THE DEMOCRACY AUST ORGANIZE.

THE DEMOCRACY AUST ORGANIZE.
West Virginia is ready for redemp-
ton fl ON Republican misrule at Char
lesion and Republican misrepresenta-
ton in Congress.
Especially are the people tired to
death and thoroughly disguised with
the incompetence and extravaganza of
the present State administration and
the selfish scheming of the ring poll
ticians that run it wholly in the inter-
est of their own personal ambitions.
But while this is self-evident fact,
while it will take comparatively small
effort by the Democratic organization
to win a tremendous Democratic vic
tory in this State next year all along
the line, yet this effort must be made
to do it. If it is not made nothing can
prevent the State from going by de-
fault
There are thousands of voters all
over the State who give little atten-
ton to politics, who must have the
facts presented to them clearly and
thoroughly and kept before them till
the day of election, else they will be
buncoed into voting the old ring back
into power through the insidious and
persistent efforts of the thoroughly or
ganized enemy, whose machine is kept
in perfect order and we'll oiled by its
wealthy benefciaries.
The Democracy having no trusts to
supply campaign funds and maintain a
complete and costly organization, must
depend on the individual efforts of the
plain people whose battles the Democ
racy, the party of the people, is fight
ing.
In view of this situation and the ex-
ceedingly rosy prospects for Demo-
cratic success in West Virginia next
year, it behooves every Democratic
leader in the State, great and small, in
every district, city, town ward and cross
roads, to take advantage of Democ-
racy's grand opportunity and at once get
to work gathering up the travelled ends
of Democratic organization to prepare
to present united and organized force
in the coming great battle OF 1900 for
the political emancipation of West Vir-
GINA.
Pass the word along, Democratic
brethren!

DOWN WITH THE CONSTITUTIONS.

In his report the Secretary of War
in speaking of our dependencies and
defending the policy of the admins

perialism, untempered by any consti-
tutional restrictions.
There is no mistaking the Secretarys

even Lord Salisburys government of
the Queens imperial domain would
dare go, for even imperial Britain

Root, however, says the President in
these cases is superior to the Consti-

and in dealing with our dependencies

trust would see to that, If necessary.
The difflculty in re-establishing plant
once dismantled is amply illustrated in
the effort to rehabilitate the old Hobbs,
Brockunier works-'a commendable
project, begun with fiattering prospects
of success, which has already fallen
through most ANONYMOUSLY.
Let those stockholders of the Cen
trail who may be inclined to look With
favor on the trusts offer study the
other side of the picture and figure up
what they would lose by turning over
the plant to the combine to be disman-
tied. They now have profitable in
dustry, whose ability to successfully
compete with the trust is evidenced by
the trusts anxiety to buy it out All
this they would lose and at the same
time deprive the city of very valuable
industry, to say nothing of throwing
out of employment hundreds of good
citizens who would probably be forced
to leave Wheeling to seek employment
elsewhere. These losses must all be
shared by the Central stockholders.
Would they be balanced by the COM
paratively small cash bonus offered by
the trust?
Let them consider that if the trust
can make a good thing out of it by
closing down the works, the present
stockholders can make an equally good
thing out of ~ by running them-be-
sides preserving to Wheeling one of its
valuable and time honored industries.

with whom he was very intimate. He
was a member of the Nauvoo Legion,
and was with the Saints who were
driven to Winter Quarters. In the
spring of 1916 he built a ferry across
the Missouri and remained there sew
eral years, helping ~ people across
and assisting the immigrants in va
rious ways. He reached Utah in 1851
and located in the Sixteenth ward, of
which ward he has been the bishop
since April 6. 1856.
By occupation he was a mill build
er, and during his time he constructed
mills in the different states. 1t was
under his supervision that the old Brig
ham Young mill at Liberty park was
built. Bishop Kesler was identified
with many of the pioneer enterprises,
having brought out the machinery for
the nail and sugar factories before the
days of railroads.
He was the father of fifteen sons and
fifteen daughters. His grandchildren
and great grandchildren number up
wards of 200.
The remains will lie in state at his
late residence, 55S West North Temple
street, on Thursday next, between the
hours of 10 a. m and II o'clock, where
they may be viewed by friends. The
funeral will take place on Thursday at
1 p. m, in the Sixteenth ward meeting
house.

sardOu Converted to spiritualism.

Though Sardou, the author of "Ro-
bespierre, is one of the most level
headed men 1t is possible to meet. there
is no more fervent adept of spiritual
ism living. His conviction is not founded
on any theory, but on experiences that
have occurred to himself. When he was
a very young man, long before fortune
had smiled uron him, he lived in a
small room under the roof. One of the
very few articles of furniture he pos
seSsed was an old spinet that had
belonged to a dead sister, TO whom he
had been greatly attached. He never
opened the instrument, and it served
him in lieu of desk, bookcase and table
combined.
One day he was suddenly startled by
the sound of music, coming apparently
from the spinet. Cautiously removing
the books and opening the lid, he was
stupefied TO observe the keys rising and
falling. as If under impulsion of ghostly
fingers, for the thick layer of dust
which covered them remained intact.
When the tune, an air of the last CEN
fury, was at an end. the spinet sud
denly became as mute as before Sar-
dou at first thought he must be dream
ing. and, in order to convince himself
that he was really awake and in full
possession of his senses, he pinched
himself until he was obliged to desist
from the pain. A friend to whom he
related this strange experience in
formed him that there was no doubt
he must be a medium.

DISORDER AT CLEVELAND.
Strikers Prevent the Companies From
Moving Their Cars.

Cleveland, o., June 12.-The attempt
of the Big Consolidated Railroad com
pany to move its cars today was at
tended by scenes of wild disorder in
various parts of the city. though no.
body was hurt and very little damage
done to property. Cars were run on
two lines at very irregular intervals.
but without passengers. and mainly
under the protection of policemen.
The principal work of the mObs.
which were composed largely of idlers
and spectators, was to blockade the
tracks. in which they were materially
assisted by accommodating drivers of
trucks, to cut trolley wires and Jeer
at the non-union men. Occasionally
stale onions and pieces of mud were
thrown, but nobody was hurt The
strikers discouraged violence. but they
did most effective duty in inducing the
non-union men to quit, and in this
they were assisted by several women,
relatives of the strikers, who boarded
the cars and pleaded with the new men
to leave their positions. One Of these
women was provided with money, and
when argument failed. she induced the
non-union men TO quit by paying them.
Many of the cars were left on the
lines deserted. and were afterward
picked up by inspectors and taken 10
the terminals. The company says it
has sufficient men to operate its cars
