UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

The supreme court has decided
the elkht-hour law to be unconsti.
tutional and void. The decision
seems to have been expected, but
why is not clear. The law was
passed at the urgent request of the
trades unions and Its purpose was
to benefit the men who work in
smelters exposed to the heat of
frey furnaces and under ground
miners, by providing fewer hours
a day at hard and dangerous labor.
This and many other decisions
OF the courts have raised the aues-
ton, "What are constitutions for
anyhow" They have become
breastwcrks behind which courts
sit and annul, with impunity, such
laws as cannot be defeated in the
halls of legislation.
The primary purp, ,se of a con-
stitutlon was lIambletoninn-to
protect the people against the laws
passed by their incompetent rep
resentatives, or to contine legisln-
ton within certain limits.
Suppose the state do away with
its constitution aud representa-
tive form OF government and sub
stitute direct legislation?
The courts decision does not
settle the eight hour question. 1t
has determined the law for the
time being. but nothing is finally
settled until it is settled right.

Under the above caption the
Monte Vista Graphic publishes q
column article the burden of which
is to get up a fusion ticket IN
which some of the Republican
Office seekers may be sure of mn
election and also form p combi-
nation by which Bloomfield anil
Wallace may control the politics
OF Rio Grande county in the in-
tsrest Of Bloomfield for District
judge.
Such talk is all rot. In the
first place Bloomfield can never
be nominated for Judge and a
fusion ticket would bring out an
Independent ticket which would
defeat the scheme. The Enquirer
is in favor of straight political
tickets. Let each party put up
the best men in the party and let
the people decide.

cine, il defeated. like little men

This is an of year in politics,
aud yet it is the year in which the
plans will be laid for the great
campaign of 1900. Only local
officers will be elected in Colorado
next November. but the result will
have an influence on the presiden-
tial campaign. There will be no
candidates for president, governor,
congressman, or any issue that
will cause the voter TO lose sight
OF the local candidates and vote
tho ticket straight. Under such
circumstances it behooves all par.
ties TO nominate men who have .
clean recor,l-men who hold the
confidence Of the people. When .

TO scratch enc name OH his party

scratching. Hence one unpopular
candidate upon ticket may drag
others down with him. Let every

The Fulton fire department has never
worn the frills incident to the shining
apparatus, the speedy horses, and the
comfortable quarters of the city de-
partments, but it has nevertheless
meant much to the good citizens of
Wheeling's thriving little suburb. There
is always great deal of sentiment as
ISOLATED with volunteer fire brigade
in any town, and the young man who
is not connected with such an institu-
ton is never fully in the push. Fulton
has been proud of her volunteers, as
well she might, and now that the appa-
ratus is to be formally turned over to
the Town Council, it is the principal
topic Of discussion in Hamburg.
In 1879 there was a disastrous fire
at Chas. Hoffman's place, which awoke
the good citizens of the town to a reali-
cation of the necessity for precautions
against another such dread visitation
Michael Stein, George Zoeckler (now
deceased), and Fred Weimer took the
initiative, and while this sentiment was
strong, circulated subscription list,
and within So hours had collected $3.50
for fire apparatus.
In May of the same year, the ma
chine was secured, and a volunteer fire
brigade was organized, with M. Stein
in command. Several years ago, when
arrangements were made to supply Full
ton from the new city reservoir, the
apparatus was found to be no longer
necessary. 1t was sold, and with the
money so realized twelve sections of
hose were purchased. Meanwhile the
members Of the volunteer brigade have
been growing too old for active service
in fighting fires, and there has been
talk of turning over the hose and other
apparatus to the Town Council.
A committee, consisting of E. Hamm,
and Christ. Hoffman, o,the part of the
volunteer brigade, and M. Stein, Peter
Felsheim and A. c. WAGNER on the
part of the Council, met a few weeks
ego at the residence of Henry Stein,
president of the fire department 1t
was decided to turn over the apparatus
to Council, with the express under
standing that it will be kept in good
repair. The transfer will be made to-
morrow evening.
During the recent Weimer fire, c.
Stein and Geo. Marshall had their
hands and ears frozen, and others suf-
fered greatly from the cold. Mr.. Vein
er is anxious to show his appreciation
and gratitude, and will therefore enter
tain members Of the brigade and their
friends, at Joseph Marshall's place to-
morrow night. The committee in
charge consists of Michael Stein and
Fred Weimer.

w ARDEN HAWK
Of the Prison and the Hand He is Said to
be Taking in MoundsviIle Politics.
Moundsville, W. Va, March 4.

iiiC, w. fd., 4.
To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-I notice that city politics is
getting warmed up; also that the Hunt
lngtOn Hawk is sailing into city politics
at a lively rate. He feels his import
ance, and wants the voters and citizens
OF Moundsvllle to understand and rec
ognize him as the author OF certain
threats that are going the rounds,
which he is alleged to have made to
the authorities VINO are running the
coal mines at this place, in case the
miners vote for and elect one l. B.
Purdy, the citizens candidate for
Mayor. He will not, it is said, patron
lZe the coal company which has sold
coal to the penitentiary ever since the
mines have been open.
The people who own and operate the
mines here are embraced within the
meaning of the title to- the The citi-
zens ticket" and, in fact, are part
and parcel of the citizens of Mounds
Vile, and pay taxes to help run this
State institution; and being a part and
parcel have a perfect right to honor
their ticket by voting it, S. A. Hawk
to the contrary notwithstanding. |
understand he went down to Hunting
ton to assist in their city election some
time since. He also was at Charleston
trying to assist in the election of
George Wesley Atkinson to the United
States Senate, and failed. He is now
engaging himself to elect a Mayor of
Moundsville, or, rather, trying to pre-
vent the citizens from doing so. He
is only SOjourner here, and not a
citizen.
To you gentlemen who are miners,
as we'll as citizens, if IT is your pleasure
to vote The citizens ticket" do 50,
and give Mr.. Hawk to understand that
you know your own business and are
fully capable of casting citizens vote
without "a boss" l learn, since the
matter has been made SO urgent by
the leaders of the straight ticket, that
many who were hating between two
opinions, as it were, as to which CT the
two candidates they would prefer, both
being Republicans, have fully expressed
their desire and intention to vote the
citizens ticket, and by SO doing main
tain their American manhood and ex
ercise that freedom guaranteed to them
as American citizens.
If it is your pleasure to elect men as
your servants who do not please War
den Hawk, and he should not buy coal
at the Moundsville mine, it will not
spoil in the ground during what little
remnant Of time is allotted to him at
the West Virginia penitentiary. Mr..
Hawk seems to think his influence with
the miners against the straight ticket
will be noticeable in the Third ward, Of
which am a citizen. A VOTER.

Is Very important Matter TO Dealers and
Consumers.

1OHSuHetss
Quality is a consideration which is
always bound to win in competition
all other things being equal. Espec-
tally is this true of food products.
Quality not only makes ali article oil
food palatable, but insureS health, and
prevents indigestion and the train OF
evils which follow. There is no ION
ger any dispute about the value of
butterne as a wholesome food product.
It's general use in the families of ply
sicians and chemists and their unso
licited testimonials, furnish uncontro-
vertible truth of this statement.
There is butterine and butterine,
however. Braun 4 Fits are the pion-
eer churners Of The Only High
Grade" article, and their success has
resulted in many limitations. Their
constant aim to purify their product,
and increase its standard of excellence,
has given the only High Grade" but
terine a prestige in the market, which
not only excites the envy of rival man
4lfacturers, but has resulted in a sort
OF combination against it.
The churners of The Only High
Grade" have always invited compari-
son. in the knowledge that a practical
demonstration must convince the pub
lie if its superiority over the product
of ether factories which seek to profit
by the reputation which Braun &
Fits have established. All the re-
uuirements of the ideal butterlne are
met in their only High Grade pro-
duct,-sweetness cleanliness, and care
and skill in churning.
Braun & Fits only High Grade
butterine stands squarely upon its
merits. 1t has nothing to fear from
comparison Those who have used it,
and have used the other makes are
the first to proclaim the merits OF
1.-THE Only High Grade" Those who
are not using it should not accept the
statements of dealers who handle only
the product of rival factories, because
there is more profit in it. The dissat-
isfaction with butterine-if any exists
comes from trials OF inferior grades,
ane never from Braun &, Fits. Eizie
Myers, 1888 Main Street, is the local
agent for Braun & Fits "On,y High
Grade" butterine.
