Washington, Feb. 1,-Presidont Nc
Kinley has received a long message
from Governor w. s. Taylor, of KenE
tucky, dated at Frankfort. Governor
Taylor recltes at length the situation
in Kentucky, declares that he consld-
ers himself the legally elected execu-
tive of the state and asserts the condl-
tIon of affairs at the present time Is
most critical. He says that riot may
occur at any time which will cause
much bloodshed. Governor Taylor
says that he is doubtful of his power
to control the situation and appeals to
the president to end the matter and se-
cure peace in the state by recognizing
him as the governor of kentucky. The
appeal is very earnest and the aid OF

ola Coins.

Mr.. A. f. Kisar showed us re-
Gently some very old and rare
coins, of which he has quite a
good collection. Among his col
lection are four silver dollars, of
the following dates: 1895, 1898
1899 and 1902. On one side of
these coins is the "eagle, Epluri-
bus Unum, United States of
America" on the reverse side the
woman's head "Liberty," together
with the date and thirteen stars,
excepting the one made in 1895,
which had fifteen stars; on the
edge of the dollars are the units
zone hundred cents-one dollar. "
The 1899 coin belongs to Mr.. Benz.
Stephens, near town.
Mr.. Kisar has also one cent
piece made in 1856. which is very
valuable, as only fifteen of these
coins got out. when the govern
ment discovered that the minters
had made mistake in coming this
cent, by melting gold bar up in
stead of nickel bar, and therefore
had gold in it. Mr.. Kisar says he
has been offered $lOO for this cent,
and $3.50 for the one dollar made in
1795. He paid $27 for this dollar
some years ago.

We agree with our friend of the
Parkersburg Morning News that
industrial development is usually
followed by an increased Republi-
can vote, and the matter is quite
easily explained. The rioh boss
who represents the trust marches
the poor laborers up in droves like
SO many cattle, and votes them.
This is why Republioanism is SO
popular (?) in the industrial scot
ions.

COUNCIL DlEErING.
The Water Works and Electric
Light Plant Accepted.

Tie Water Works and Electric
Light Plant Accepted.
At special meeting of the City
Council held yesterday afternoon,
there were present the Mayor, City
Clerk, City Solicitor and quorum
of Councilnen.
Hon. j. S. Spencer, representing
the Point Pleasant Water and
Light Co, appeared before the
council and ASKED it to give the
plants an examination and test, and
if satisfactory and in accordance
with the franchise, to accept the
same.
The council were then driven to
the power house of the Company,
where they examined the plant
most thoroughly, and found it even
to be more thoroughly erected than
demanded by the Company's fran
chise. The council then returned
down town and at the corner of 9th
street and stested the water press
ure, which showed 81 pounds, and
that too with the reservoir not quite
full
Then returned to the Council
Chamber, where on motion, the
plants were formally accepted, by
unanimous vote, the council being
more than satisfied with the equip
ment and accuracy of the water and
light plants.
After the adoption of the motion
to accept the plants, Councilman
John M. Burdette, the Poet Lau-
reate of the town arose and read
the following poem, which was re-
ceived with applause:
For more than II hundred years,
Our city was in the dark;
And when we had great fires,
No water to put them out.
But with ninety pounds of pressure,
We see different phase;
Although our nights be dark as pitch,
Our streets are an electric blaze.
Now, if n stranger comes at will,
And wants to look around,
Show him the reservoir on eastern
hill,
And the power house ut the north
end of the town.
For the construction of this plant,
NVn'rn SUM ,,rnof I,rniSn 10 flIn
To Sam and Hiram, Bill and Fred,
And Howell g. Shanklin too.
Now, this plant is conplete
They have nothing else to do,
But furnish water, light our streets,
And collect their revenue.
Mr.. Spencer arose and extended
a formal invitation on behalf of
the Point Pleasant Water and
Light Co, to the members of the
town council to attend at some
future time, banquet to be given
at the PhDnix Hotel, in honor of
the Howell, Shanklin Construction
Co., which Company had the con-
tract for building the water works
plant,
The electrict light plant was
constructed by the General EIec-
trio Light Co, of Philadelphia,
superintended by Messrs. w. A.
Hawk and Guy Syler.
Mr.. Homer Smith being stock
holder in the Point Pleasant Water
and Light Co, and also member
Of the town council, took no part
in tho proceedings of the council.
On motion council adjourned.

fuse to recognize that great prin-
.ciple which is the fundamental one
in our government mo taxation
without representation" They
taxed the foreigner hea lilly, yet re-
fused to let him vote.
In conclusion let me say that L
am no Anglo-manieo. For no one
have L greater contemplation the
New Yorker, who apes the titled
Englishman, but as New York ls
only 4 small portion of this conn
try, SO is the nobility only frao-
ton of the English.
1t has been my privilege to know
few Englishmen and Canadians,
of my own GLASS, farmers and bust
ness men, and 1 know they are like
us and have the same ideas of lib
erty and justice as we'll as the same
tongue. Let us hesitate a long
time before we let such people go
without help in their hour of need.
If they are overthrown now, our
turn will come next.
