az to estate Issues. .

The Democratic press for some tina
has been engaging in great game of
blum in stating that the campaign this
year must be fought on state Issues m
tlmatlng that the Republican party was
afraid Of the record 1. has made, and
that 1t would dodge those questions
which might arise. The Republican
party is not made of any such stun. 1t
has never shirked responsibility for
anything. While 1t is possible that a
few mistakes may have been made Il
points with pride to the reforms It has
effected in the administration OF state
affairs, ana to the excellent business re-
cord of Governor Atklnsons admins
tratlon. The great trouble with the
Democratic party in West Virginia is
that it has not single reputable Issue
on which it can base any contention for
accession to power. 1t is torn and rent
by factions, and seeks to cover up its
internal dlssenslons by ingenious mis-
representations Of the Republican par
ty. But 1t will find out in good time
that the harmony within our ranks IS
no fiction but a ponderous truth when
the ballots are counted.
In speaking of the endorsement OF the
gubernatorlal candidacy of Hon. Virgil
A. Lewis, ex-state superintendent Of
schools, by the Mason county Demo-
Gratis. the Charleston Mail Tribune
draws some instructive comparisons be-
tween MIR. Lewis administration of the
office Of superintendent and that of the
present Republican incumbent. The
comparisons are quite interesting. Our

account of the great work the society has
accomplished in the past, graphically de-
scribed the work to be done in the newly
acquired islands, stating that ii falls to
the Tract Society to furnish the Christian
literature in the Spanish language. The
work among the immigrants was also men,
toned, as well as the important work in
Utah among the Mormons.
The secretary's report stated that the So
ciety was organized ito difuse a knowl-
edge of Christ as the Redeemer of sinners"
1t has issued at home and in the foreign
field 1900 distinct publications, all evan

QUEER CASE IN JERSEY.


NEWARK, N. j., March 25.-Men come
cheap in Harrisonville. One has just been
leased for life at sl.25 a week. His wife
made the bargain with another woman
and the agreement was duly witnessed and
signed In a court of law. John L. Keen is
the man in the case. He is fifty-eight years
old and has long been a reputable, hard
working citizen. There he lived happily
with the woman whom everybody, himself
included. thought TO be his legal wife, until
yesterday, when the fantastic mood of an
other woman brought the whole strange
story to light. She declared that Keen had
deserted her long ago. When they met in
court the first wife kissed him.
Keen and his wife had parted twenty
years ago and had never seen-each other
since. She did not say where she had
spent the long interval, nor how she came
to learn that Keen had married again, and
he, on his part, did not deny the charge of
n~onsupport, pleading that he did not know
she was alive. The justice was In a guam
dairy. The first Mrs. Keen lifted him out
of the difficulty. She was in bad health.
she said, and could not live long, but she
had no means. If Keen was willing to pay
her SIPS a week while she lived she would
%relinquish all claim to- him. The justice
looked inquiringly at the husband. and he.
with a Door attempt to conceal his eager
ness, consented. and moment afterward
put his signature to the bond. Then he
was told that he was free and he started
off with his bride, as she seemed, for his
home and happiness. AS they reached the
door the first woman was there, too. She
stopped them a moment, lifted her face to
the mans and kissed him again, once more
for old times sake. and then she stood and
watched him and her successor as they
went away together.

OMAHA MAN HONORED.
Laetare Medal Bestowed on j. A.
Creighton by Notre Dame University.

NOTRE DAME. nd. March 25.-John A.
Creighton. of Omaha, Neb.. to-day received
the Laetare medal from the University of
Notre Dame. Each year. on Laetare Sun
day, the university presents to some distin-
guished Catholic layman or laywoman this
mark of recognition for their services i'm the
cause of religion or education. John A.
Creighton is not a man of national prom
inence, but the work he has done in the fur
therance of charity and Catholic education
has been sufficient to merit the title and
distinction of Roman count, ar honor con-
ferred upon him some years ago by the
sovereign pontiff, Pope XIII. To the gen.
erosity of the Creighton brothers-John A.
and the late Edward Creighton-Omaha
ives the magnificent st. Joseph's Hos
the Creighton University, with its schools
of art and medicine. These men were
pioneers in the West and were identified
with the construction of the Union Pacific
Railroad and other large enterprises.
In presenting the Laetare medal the Uni
versity of Notre Dame has conferred the
honor on distinguished Catholics In recog-
milton of high personal worth, but especi-
ally because of notable services to religion
In different lines of public duty. Historians,
~Jurists, journalists. architects, engineers,
artists. writer's and physicians have been
recognized and honored by this distinction.
In this instance the university pays its
tribute of homage to a munificent benefac-
tor of charity and Christian education. and
o A. Creighton was deemed a man most
worthy of this honor.
The Laetare medal as a mark of recogni-
ton for Catholics in the United States
bears a resemblance to the golden rose
presented by the Pope to distinguished
Catholic sovereigns. This custom of re-
warding laymen by the University of Notre
Dame began in 1883. and the medal has
been presented to some of the most dis
tinguished Catholics in this country. OF
the men and women who have received il,
sixteen in number, ten have since died.
The names of those who AVE been chosen
year by year as recipients Of the Laetare
medal follow: John Culinary Shea, Patrick

A Manifest Destiny.

This is a pretty good love story, with a
plot none the less romantic for being i'm
probable. A very beautiful and ambitious
American girl becomes engaged to a clever
young Englishman who is nearest of kin
and legal heir to a cousin who is an earl.
After the death of her mother the girl goes
to England to meet and marry her be-
trothed, but he is temporarily absent. and
his uncle, the earl, who Is quite an old
bachelor, falls in love with the girl, per-
suades her that the young man is worth
less and false, and finally induces her to
break the engagement and marry him. He
is cold, stern and mean, and she is not
happy. Finally, and very opportunely, he
dies, cutting her off with an annuity for
life. The young man, who is now heir to
the estates and title. comes home, proves
that he has been misrepresented and ma
ligned, the old love is renewed. the two are
married and all ends happily. The story is
well written, and, Notwithstanding its
rather thin plot. is quite interesting. New
