There was no necessity for our per-

was eminently proper for Admiral
Dewey to smash the Spanish fleet in

withdrawn our ships to some conven-

results. A Spanish fleet at Manila was

was the garrison of Madrid And be-

A CORDIAL ENDORSEMENT.

The Parkersburg State Journal
takes kindly to the Registers sugges-
ton that West Virginia should be rep
resented at the Pan-American Exhibit
ton, at Buffalo, next year, and in doing
SO pertinently says:
mo instance can be pointed out of any
case in which this State has been repre-
scented at an exposition, that beneht far
in access of the outlay has not accrued.
The fine exhibits of coal and lumber at
the Philadelphia Exposition in 1876 prob
ably attracted attention to West Virginia
from other localities and from Europe,
even, were surprised to learn though it
was only in small degree, something OF
what this State was"
AT Chicago in 1893, there was a better
exhibit than there was at Philadelphia.
Everything went there from General st.
Clair'S fighting qualities to blocks of coal
twenty feet in thickness. West Virginia
has prospered from that time forward as
never before. Who shall say that the
showing at the exposition did not have
much to do with this new growth of the
State.
Money spent by West Virginia at the
Buffalo Exposition will be well invested.
1t will return many fold in benefit to the
State. Therefore let the Legislature of
next winter make a liberal appropriation
lot the purpose Oh making Il Hne showing
there. The Register is right in advising
that"
We are with the State Journal in
this little matter, and are glad of its CO.
operation. We have nothing to lose in
letting our advantages, and resources
and industrial activity be seen of men,
Let the State press discuss this matter
and if the Legislature will do its part
the expenditure necessary will be re-
turned to the people OF the State many
times over.

long bost of the big powers, including

war more terrible than any since
that of the Crimea. The Boxers ap-
pear to be gathering strength and
ground at once. Russia is prepared
to take advantage of the situation. and
in the guise of restoring order will
seize Pekin and much northern terri
tory if she is allowed to do so. To
thwart her doings, the United States,
England and Japan are on the alert,
and our army in the Philippines and
our fleet in their waters may be called
upon to keep the Chinese door open
and aid in preserving the integrity of
the Oldest nation upon earth. Strange
and ominous reports come from both
China and Washington. The North
Atlantic fleet has been ordered for i'm
mediate sea duty, and all officers are
instructed to report on board their
ships forthwith, as the ships are to
go to sea in five days. At present the
signs are not propitious for interna-
tional peace, but let it be hoped that
the threatening war clouds will blow
away, leaving clear and roseate sky.
