frontod the Democracy Of either sub
hitting to this compromise or, by
standing their ground and demanding
their rights in the face OF revolutionary
force. precipitating possibly bloody
conflict, the end of which no one could
foretel], except that it probably would
have resulted in a Republican national
administration interfering with fed
eral troops, possibly, to preserve order.
in which event nothing could have
been gained and the good name of the
State as commonwealth in which law
and order ruled, would have been ever
lastingly smirched.
Was the Democracy to be blamed
for thus compromising with fraud in
! order to preserve West Virginia's fair
name and a Republican form OF gov
eminent? The Register does not think
So On the contrary we believe the in
teligent and patriotic people OF the
State " 80 are not blinded by parti-
sanship and see the situation clearly,
will heartily applaud the Democracy's
magnanimous action.
AS 10 Mr.. McGraw's contest against
the seating of Mr.. Scott in the United
States Senate as Senator from West
Virginia, the deter mination remains
with the Republican majority in that
body as to whether Mr.. Scott shall be
the beneficiary of this fraud or not.
We have not space to even briefly re-
view the case On which Mr.. McGraw has
labored SO faithfully in order to present
it in full and proper shape to the Sen
ate. Suffice it to say it will be shown
that the regularly chosen Democratic
successors to Senators Pierson and
Getzandanner, who vacated their seats
by entering the army, should have
been given their seats. Secondly, with
cut going into the merits of the con-
tests in Monroe and Taylor counties or
/ the revolutionary proceeding of GUST
ing by simple resolution Senator Kidd
from his seat in the Senate to which
ne was regularly elected, and other
equally revolutionary proceedings,
suffice it to say that Mr.. Scott was not
elected by majority of the members
of both houses of the Legislature as
required by law. The seats of Senator
Kidd and Representative Dent, Demo-
Gratis, being vacant, therefore, Mr..
Scott did not receive constitutional
majority of the Legislature for Sena-
tor, since 48-the vote he received on
joint ballots not a majority of 81,
the total vote, and the law does not
contemplate that the people of any
county or senatorial district shall be
disfranchised in the election of a
United States Senator.
The case remains with the Republican
majority of the Senate at Washington,
and it is that majority that is really
on trial, as to whether it holds par
! tisanship above the law.
The Democracy have nothing to gain
in this case since If Mr.. Scott is de-
MED the seat Mr.. McGraw will not be
given it, although of course there is
no question that he should and would
| have been elected had honest dealing
prevailed last winter at Charleston.
Mr.. McGraw, on behalf of his party in
West Virginia, is simply contending
for a principle and the establishment of
an honest precedent which may mean
much in this and other States in future
Every intelligent and honest citizen
will wish him success.

HANDSOME VIEW OF WHEELING

Mr.. A. E. Downs, artist for the firm
of Downs, Fowler & Meyer. has just
completed a birds-eye sketch of the
city of Wheeling, the result of six
months patient work, which is far
superior to any like effort ever made
here, either Photographic or by draw
ing. The point from which the sketch
is taken is fixed at high elevation
over Weeling hill, in the direction of
Fulton, and practically the entire city
is shown all the principal buildings
being carefully drawn and easily
recognizable. The picture is about
two by four feet, and will be litho-
graphed, copies being placed on sale
as soon as possible. The amount of
detail work is wonderful, and remark
able accuracy has been observed by the
artist.

GLANCE AT THE MARKETS.

Ohio Valley Manufacturer
The reports from all the iron CEN
tiers indicate a strong steady market
This condition faces a probable in
crease of pig iron to three times the
production of ten years ago, and re-
remarkable as it seems more than one
half of this output has been sold. Tn
doubtedly this indicates a higher price
for the near future. Contracts made
with mills before the combination have
all been filled. and from this on the
manufacturer will begin to feel the
advantage Of the increased rate over
last years prices.
Pig Iron-Large consumers have
placed orders or iron for four and six
months Of next year, and have only pro-
vided for their actual needs. These con-
tracts have. given the market a decid-
eddy strong tone. The price varying
from $3.50 to S2325, while small lots
for immediate delivery have sold as
high as $500.
Billets-The sales of an unusual
amounts Of steel billets at about last
weeks price gives assurance of a con-
tinuation of strong market. Buyers
seem determined TO supply their pres
ent wants only.
Finished Material-The contracts for
100000 tons of steel rails at $4,000
has made the market feverish. But
this buying movement has deferred
any decline in rates indefinitely. Or

POLITIC AL JACKALS.

Inc 1ollOWlnG from the columns OF
our neighboI, the Fourteenth street
organ. is especially amusing:
Everybody knows that the Republicans
committed no fraud in the .eleglon, and
everybody knows that the Democrats did
In Taylor county, the home of McGra W,
Democrats committed the grossest kind If
fraud and this was repeated in other coun-
ties. 1t mas been proven before a compc-
tent tribunal that Democrats in Taylor
county threw out Republican votes suffi-
cient to give certificate of election to the
House of Delegates to a man who was not
elected This was part of the scheme to
elect a Democratic United States Sena or
Whewl
The funny part of this sockdollaging
paragraph lies in the notorious fact
that every mothers son of an official in
Taylor county, who handled and after
wards guarded the ballots in the case
in point was a Republican. How,
therefore was it possible at any stage
of the game for any Democrat to have
committed the grossest kind of fraud, ;"
or thrown out Republican votes"
unless, indeed, he was backed in it by
Republican Official?
Does the Fourteenth street organ
think its readers fools to swallow such
arrant nonsense? Verify, the needs of
the Republican ring in covering its
own fraudulent tracks are great when
its organs are forced to such extremi-
ties.
Apropos to this Taylor county case
in their efforts to make good the theft
of that legislative seat and finding
they can not charge fraud against the
Democrats without involving a trusted
Republican official, these political
jackals are confronted with the neces-
sity of either confessing their own
falsehoods or deseerating the grave of
one of these trusted Republican officials
whom their own villainous false accus-
atoms doubtlsss did more than any

resigned his succession in favor OF his son,
Prince Arthur. Now it is announced that
Prince Arthur has passed on the honor
to the younk Duke of Albany, who is a
son of the late Prince Leopold OF England.
1t is supposed that the youthful Duke of
Albany will condescend to accept this
trifiing little gift of dukedom. for it is
said the boy will be taken at once to Ger
many, where he viii be given German
education so that he may be fitted to
govern his new European duchy. The
reason of tie Duke of Connaughts refusal
of the dukedom both for himself and his
son is said to be his reluctance to leaving
England and taking up permanent resi-
dence In Germany.

If directly or indirectly greater than
10 per cent is stipulated for in the con-
tract, all interest shall be forfeited,
''but the prin cipal sun OF money or
value of the contract may be received
and recovered" If more than 10 per
cent has been collected as interest,
twice the amount of interest so collect
ed may be recovered by the party pay

payment. A note containing usurious

A new era of investment has dawned

millions of dollars will seek and find

cumstauces, is forced into new fields.
