West Virginia Coal Trade.

Scarcely a day passes that the
newspapers are not called upon to
record the sale of some large tract
of West Virginia coal and timber
lands. The activity in this line re
calls the merry days of 1S90-91 and
80, when West Virginia coal and
timber lands were dealt in actively
and number of daring spectators
realized considerable sums 1t is
noticeable, however, that the deals
that have been made in the Monon-
gahela valley recently are not of a
speculative character at all All Of
them represent solid investments by
capitalists who believe in the future
dominance of West Virginia in the
coal business and are anxious to OBJ
tain share of the acreage that they
are convinced will soon become i'm
mensely valuable.
II does not take the eye of a pro-
phet to see that the coal trade in the
upper Monongahela and Kanawha
river valleys must be developed enor-
mously during the next five years.

Honorary Degrees.

The board of regents of the state
university has taken very sensible ac-
tion in abolishing honorary degrees
and deserves credit for having the
courage to take step toward break
ing down an ancient custom which has
fallen into disgrace. Honorary
degrees have been so often conferred
on unworthy recipients that they have
become absolutely meaningless. A
little eyanescent fame in politics, law,
or some other line has been sufficient
for half dozen institutions to con-
fer string of titles. The practice
has been carried to such an extreme
that it has become absurd and sensible
men have been rather inclined to re-
sent the honors thrust upon them by
admiring faculties. The board acted
rightly In abolishing the custom and
1t is to be hoped that others will fol-
low the example set. Wheeling News.

MONUMENT DEDICATED.
Holland Thompson's Deeds
Commemorated Fittingly.


Large Turn cut to Witness the Exer-
ses-MOnument Erected Near His
old Home-rhe Young Man Dies of
Neglect while ON His Way Home
Was very young but had fine
record.
The monument to Holland d..
Thompson of Hampshire county was
dedicated on last Wednesday. twas
erected at Three Churches near where
he formerly resided. The attendance
was very large at the dedication and
the exercises were of an exceptionally
impressive character.
The monument is very handsome
one and it was paid partly out of pub
lie subscription showing the apprecia-
ton in which the young man was
held among those with whom he was
best known. The dedication had
been postponed from the time first set
on account of the fact that few peo-
pie could come out on the date first
set and the second one suited the con-
venience of every one.
Thompson was student here at
the out break of the war and went in
to the service because he thought that
it was his duty to go. He was i'm
PEELED by very high sense of the
duty he owed to the country and he
made a record of which every one is
proud.
He was transferred from the First
Regiment to the Volunteers who went
TO Porto Rico and was on the Hospital
staff. Taking sick in that place he
was started home but died on the
Ship Relief on the way back and was
buried at sea.
His friends were very much stirred
up over his death and claimed that it
was due in large measure to neglect
and that had he been cared for prep
erly he would still be alive.
He was only twenty one years of
age but was student who took high
rank here and elsewhere. His father
is well to do farmer living at Three
Churches

A CALL FOR AID.
Governor Atkinson Issues Proclama-
ton Calling Upon the People to Help
Porto Rican Sufferers.

Governor Atkinson has issued a
proclamation in response to a letter
from Secretary of War Root, asking
aid for sufferers by the Porto Rico
storm.
After detailing the extent of the
storms ravages, and the suffering
and want entailed, the Governor
says
'Not less than twenty five hun
dred tons of food are needed at once.
Such food as beans, rice and cheap
grade of Goldfish, and SUCH goods as
cotton clothing, coarse cotton cloths
and needles and thread, are urgently
needed.
Money is wanted to help build
and repair houses to shelter the peo-
pie. All kinds of rough lumber and
other building materials would be
welcomed, for many months, until
new crops can be grown, the people
must be fed, or they will starve.
'Such sad situation appeals to
the commonest instincts of human
ity But these people have double
claim upon our generosity. In the
late war they welcomed our soldiers
and strewed their pathway with
flowers They were joyous to be-
come part of the great republic of
which we are proud citizens. Hence,
the appeal is to our patriotism as
we'll as to our common humanity
and gratitude.
81 earnestly recommend that the
mayor of every incorporated city
and town in the State will at once
call public meeting, and that there
be committee appointed to collect
and forward all donations; and that
in the unincorporated towns and
villages and other neighborhoods,
like meetings beheld and similar &C.
tion be had.
Whatever is done quickly is
twice done we'll, for the situation is
urgent and the appeal is from the
dying. Let us all give as God has
prospered us, with thanksgiving
that he has spared our own beloved
country such an awful affection.
G. w. ATKINSON,
Governor of West Virginia"

United States Senator Pettigrew,
of South Dakota, Republican, is
opposed to the Philippine, now and
expressed himself as follows:
I'VE found country of 100000
people with an established govern
ment and an army of 10000. This
government had been our ally, had
taken four times as many prisoners
DIS we and had treated them accord
ing to the usages of modern warfare
When President Mckinley declared
that we would protect all those who
recognized the military authority of
the United States and coerce all who
denied our authority, he declared
war. His action was unconstitu-
tional and in violation of every prin
ciple Of our government. The Pres
idents talk about who shall haul
down the flag when we have made
that symbol of murder and illegal
conquest, is contemplate. We have
no more right to take the Philip
pines than France had to take the
colonies at the close of the revolu-
tionary war on the pretext that we
were Protestants and that our civil
ization would be bettered by our be-
ing compelled to adopt the Catholic
religion. We give as an excuse for
our outrageous course in the Philip
pines that we desire to give them
civilization and the Bible. That has
been the excuse made wrongfully to
acquire territory and commit muir
der in doing so ever since there was
Bible and for ages before Most
of the ones who are fighting us are
Catholics. If we want to kill Cath
olics in order to help the march of
civilization we need not go so far
away from home.
"We cannot have one half empire
and one-half republic, and we do not
pretend that we will allow the Fill
pinos to assist in our government

ton of the spirit and the letter CT
that great document be hauled
down? 1t is to our shame that we
ever raised it, and the outrage should
be remedied. We should do right
no matter what the world might
think of us. If we were to see q
strong man beating a small boy
should we say to him: Go ahead,
beat him till you have killed him;
you should not stop, now that you
have begun?
president Mckinley wants to
make his administration mark ar
era in our history. He certainly is
succeeding, but 1t will be an era
which, ii this policy is continued
will prove curse to u.s."

Washington rumors to the effect
that the anti-expansion Republicans
may bolt the party and put presi-
Dental ticket in the field are attract
ing much attention in political cir
cles just now. In view of the great
division among Republicans on the
question of Philippine annexation it
is not surprising that these rumors
find credence in some quarters. Ar
rayed against the expansion policy
we find some Of the ablest men in
the Republican party including ex-
President Harrison, Speaker Reed,
ex-Secretary Sherman, ex Senator
Edmunds, Senator Hoar, Of Massa-

1t has been matter Of some sur
prise that the pensions for this year
amounted in the aggregate to less
than the previous year, and that al
though many thousands have been
added to the list of pensioners, a
still larger number have been carried
away by death, and there were about
4, 006~fewer pensioners than at the
end of the previous fiscal year.

On June 80 of last year there were
Ave widows of revolutionary soldiers
borne on the pension rolls of the Gov
eminent. One of these, Nancy Jones,
has just died at Jonesboro, Tenn.
She was about 90 years old, and mar
ried Darling Jones, who fought at
Kings Mountain, S. c., when she was
16 and he was over so. This would
indicate that Jones was about 20 years
old at the close of the revolution, and
that he married the young girl about
1925. Thus it cones about that the
Government is paying revolutionary
pensions more than lis years after
the close Of the war. This makes it a
reasonable proposition that we will be
paying pensions on account of the
civil war in the year 1880, and how
much longer no one can venture to
predict, for the sons Of veterans will
have their claims no oubt.-Pitts-
