A man from an Iowa town registered
at hotel, and the clerk meant well in
his efforts to be gracious, and LANDED
the stock inquiry as to the probable
stay of the western arrival.
Maybe two weeks; maybe month:
may stay until spring" was the reply.
The clerk rubbed down the blotter
over the signature until the friction
burned the ends OF his fingers, and then
asked: American or European"

The following from a Charleston dis
patch in certain Democratic organ
published hereabout which has great
deal to say about millonaircs in office
when the wealthy person happens to
be Republican. and pays Its respects
frequently to Senator Elkins, because he
happens to be rated as a man Of wealth.
and is extensively interested in the
coal. lumber and railroad interests Of
West Virginia, is worthy Of note. The
extract is in connection with a move
ment reported to be on foot at Charles
ton to make Hon. Thomas B. Davis. Of
Mineral county. a brother OF Hon.
Henry G. Davis. the Democratic candi-
date for governor in 1900.
We have nothing to say against Mr..
Davis. The Democracy would have to
go long ways to get a candidate better
fitted for the office, as he Is practical
business man, and We are free TO say,
an enthusiastic advocate of the mater
ial interests of the state. The, extract
which. after referring to Mr.. Davis
career. rising as he has in the world
from humber walks Of life. says:
Perhaps his opportunities were I'M
usual when he attained his majority,
but he was sufficiently shrewd to recog-
nlZe them, and wise enough to take adj
vantage of them. He is a self-made
man. He deserves whatever measure
OF success he has achieved. He now
has extensive coal interests. has been
associated in some enterprises with his
brother. and Is probably worth more
than a million.
The Inteligencer takes no stock in
the foolish appeals that are made In
campaign times by certain newspapers
against men who have been sufficiently
shrewd TO recognize their unusual OPP
poriuniiies" to make their way 10 for
tune. but ii so happens that in the
paper in which this dispatch occurs we
are constantly confronted with villif-
cations OF Republican men of wealth
who have had just such histories. This
is. OF course, inconsistent. This point
is the more prominently brought out in
the last sentence, in which Mr.. Davis Is
stated to have extensive coal interests,
has been associated in some enterprises
with his brother and is probably worth
more than a Million
We have no means OF knowing the
amount of Mr.. Davis wealth. nor Is ii
matter which greatly concerns anybody
but himself. However. 1t Is generally
known that the great enterprises in
which Mr.. Davis Is partially interested
are those which have been developed in
the great coal and lumber region by Mr..
Davis. his brother the distinguished cx-
senator, Senator Elkins and other pro-
gressive capitalists who have furthered
the interests OF this state and turned
wfIdernesses into busy hives OF indus
try.
Perhaps they are all millionalres, as
Is Mr.. Camden. and other men who
have contributed TO this industrial adj
vancement, and who have been recog-
nzcd rs deserving of honors. Only
bascly partisan organs VIII draw dis
tinction between men of this character
and usefulness on account OF their poll

That Debt Matter,

The Intclligenccr Is glad to see the
Registers comments on some matter In
relation 10 the Virginia debt question,
sent It by Mr.. r. 7, Chew, and accom-
panied by letter from that gentleman
explaining his connection with the cf-
fort to bring the matter before the pres
cnt session OF the legislature. There
nre two or three reasons that we agree
with the Registers comments. First,

Death of Archibald W. Campbell.

The announcement of the sudden
death of Archibald W. Campbell. which
occurred at Webster Groves, No.. yes
terday. will cause deep regret through
out this state. with the early history of
which he was so closely identified, and
among his large number of friends, ac-
quaintances and admirers in the coun-
try at large. among their number being
many of the most distinguished men OF
the Union. particularly those who were
associated with him in the stormy days
when he was so great a factor in the
struggle to hold the western counties OF
Virginia in the Union
Mr.. Campbell's career during this
period has been written: the services he
wifi be found but briefly summarized in
connection with the announcement OF,
the peculiarly sad ending OF his life.
Words can scarcely do full justice to
this man who fulfilled his splendid mis-
sion, and was ready when the sum-
mons came 10 lay down his life with the
consciousness that 1t had been we'll
spent. Modest in disposition. he made
no high aspirations for political reward,
though he might, on numerous occa-
sions, have been so honored had he but
said the word. But he was not that
tyne of man.
After the mission AIR. Campbell SEEM
cd destined to perform at time when
men of strong force OF character were
needed in this state, and when, to take
the stand he did. required moral and
patriotic hcroism. he was content to
spend the remainder of his life in peace
and quiet, but from the editorial chair
