GONITIZ'S DREAM

OfUnitins Hayti and San Domingo
with the Cuban Republic.
NEW YORK. Jan. S-A dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says:
A colonel in the insurgent army says
that Gomez recently sounded the army
on his cid ambition Of uniting Cuba and
San Domingo under one government.
The willy old chief thinks that the Uni
ted States can offer no objection 10 this
plan. which. II accomplished. would
create state strong enough to absorb
Hayti soon. With this done, Gomez be-
lieres that the foundation would be
laid for republic, which would soon
take rank In the western world second
only 10 the United States.
The recent proclamation of Gomez
receives little public discussion, but its
influence on the insurgents is notlcca-
bic. No action will he taken until he
reaches Havana: then conference will
be held. General Brooke said that 1t.
had read Gomez's Proclamation, but
knew nothing of IL officially, and did
not care TO comment on the document
While General Brooke proposes giving
the fullest recognition to the Cubans in
the cmployments, he will not agree to
recognize them as part of the insurCent
army. In forming n rural notice force

a"Nnn.par,;san" Organ.

The local Democratic organs NON
partisan" city campaign Is progressing
slowly-very slowly. 1t Is pretty hard
for an organ which Is filled to over
flowing with vindictive abuse Of Re-
publican leaders and men of high
publican ticket, to convince the public
TINT It Is really sincere. Then, too, the
public knows just how conscientious
the Register Is in its professions that
the Democrats desire to control the city
government for purely unselfish and
patriotic motives. II hasn't been a great
many years since the Wheeling public
had n taste Of Democratic "non-parti-
san" city rule. with the Registers
'tnon-partisan" support.
Fl! One OF the latest of the false pre-
lenses Of this organ was visible In q
small paragraph in Saturdays edition.
1t has discovered that Huntington has
accomplished notable reform" in re-
ducing salaries of city officials, and
that Charleston is thinking" of doing
the same thing. Umaginc Charleston
Democrats engaged in such an effortD
The Register thinks that Wheeling
needs such q reform also, and 1t pro-
poses, in its ''non-partisan" endeavor,
to elect Il straight Democratic ticket, to
follow In the footsteps OF Huntington.
So small is the paragraph that 1t
amounts almost TO whispering the
proposition, for fenr that the mon
partisan straight Democratic ticket
will discover the real ca intent Of the
Register TO elect 1t on platform
pledged TO reduced salaries. which
would naturally cause the component
parts of the ticket to lose their en-
thusiasm In the non-partisan" effort
to place the entire control OF the city
in non-partIsan Democratic hands.
How strictly in accord with the Reg
listers talk about economy and "efti-
cheney" in city affairs is the record of
past Democratic "non-partisan" control
OF the municipality. We leave 1t for the
voters to decide on the Goth of the pres
ont month. They only need to follow
out the Registers "non-partisan" urS-
ings to vote the Democratic ticket to
get partisan" reform. including
the cutting down of salaries and the
serving of the public In all offices mere
ly for the glory Of sitting In the seats
and performing the work dcvolving on
public officials for the sake of charity.
That's the Registers doctrine and It's
course In all political campaigns has
been perfectly consistent with 1t, rs
every reader of its "n9r=partIsan" cdi-
torial columns Is wei aware.

Suggestion for the Legislature.

a Morgantown dispatch in this morn
ing's lntclligcncer mites that = dc.ega-
ton from the female students Of the
State university. there being 175 OF
them the year, will so to Charleston 10
prescn: to members Of the legislature
TIC project of providing 4 womans hall
or dormitory for the institution, there
being IN absolute necessity for such a
provision.
The proposition Is worthy OF the con-
sidcration Of our legislators. When CO.
education was begun at the university
1t was an experiment, To-day 1t Is n
realization; each year an increased
number Of the young woman of the
state take advantage Of the advantages
and the opportunities offered for Il
higher education, and in but Il short
time they promise TO almost equal the
other sex. That accommodations for
them arc necessary Is plainly manifest,
and the committee should receive Il
generous reception at Charleston.
Two OF our state normal schools
have dormitorics. Why. not the univer-
slty? The remarkable growth and pro-
gress OF the State university in the past
few years has served to make the in
stitution moro popular with the public.
The people are beginning TO realize It
as factor in the development OF the
state and 10 appreciate 1t rs such.
The open door" for the young wo-
men Is policy which, though Mt first
opposed, won Its own way TO popularity
and has contributed TO the wlp!ne
away of old prcjudiccs. The legislature
can do no better net than to grant the
petition Of these young women, or ut
lenst TO give them considcrnte hearing
with n view to future action. Now.
however, Is rs good 4 time as ever. Tho
state Is financially able and the purpose
Is 4 good one.

similar accommodations.

3 WHEELING. JANUARY o. 1900.
The LegisIntmrc Of18OO.

The session OF the state legislature
will begin Wednesday and continue
doubtless. TO the full limit provided In
the law-forty-flvc days. 1t Is not like
" that the session Will be shorter than
that, owing to the mass OF business
(, that may be presented and some delay
that may occur incident TO the contests
over a number OF seats in the house of
delegates and the senate. Just what
the results OF these contests will be 1t
is impossible to say at present, nor can
II be predicted what amount OF time
they will occupy. We believe the desire
{ OF all parties concerned Is TO settle
them as quickly as possible. or as soon
as their Importance will admit. We be-
lievc also that the cool-headcd mana
y gers on both sides desire that the de-
Termination of the questions involved
{ should be arrived at with as little diff
Guilty as possible. s..g
tt AS the matter stands now the Repub-
licans have a majority on joint ballot

house Of delegates. and whether or not
they succeed in unseating enough Re-
publicans to overcome the senate Re-
publican majority Is In the future,
though, IL fair decisions are reached,
1t is difficult TO see how they can gain
; anything beyond what they now have.
Issues will be raised that will test the
honesty and fairness OF the members
of the house. and it Is hoped. for the
credit OF the state. nothing will be done
to add to the history of past injustices
In similar matters. but that settlements
OF all contests may be in strict accord

y A seat In the United States senate Is

adds TO the responsibility on both sides.

There are important matters Of legisr
