THE MINERS STRIKE.

In speaking of the miners strike, the
Register remarks that "One thing should
be remembered by both sides. however.
There should be no lawlessness, no in

it were not for the covert encoura cement
of the Democratic party, found in the de-

There are two distinct purposes ap-
parent in this gratuitous fling at the
wage workers of the country.
Cne is a renewal of the Intelligencer's
unsupported effort to make good the
charge that there is a political reason
for the miners strike.
The other, more clear, Is support of
government by injunction, in the inter
ests of trusts and combines and against
workingmen who have not other capt.
tai than their labor.
The Intelligencer is opposed to a
strike by men who hope to better their
condition, and through which they be-

new life by his support OF the sherman

THE BOARD OFF TRADE.

The Board of Trade movement con-
tinues to grow, thanks to the energetic
efforts of the philosophical gentlemen
who are pushing the enterprise.
Something like a dozen thousand
dollars have already been pledged
in aid of an improved business
situation here, and more is in
sight and is desired. The money
will be one Of the best business
Investments Wheeling can possibly
make, and this fact is illustrated by
several inquiries which have already
been made by manufacturing concerns
for sites for industrial enterprises. More
of this sort OF thing will be heard Of in
the immediate future, and when the ball
being prepared by the Board of Trade is
fairly set in motion, there will be results
of value to the entire community.
Wheeling is most eligibly situated for
both business and manufacturing. Her
means of communication with a large
and populous territory. are frst-class.
but will be measurably improved with
the assured construction of railroad
into western Pennsylvania We have
ample banking facilities, an abundance
OF manufacturing sites. and a fine and
growing city. We can oifer substantial
inducements to both buyers and produ-
GERS, while to the workingman we can
assure healthful city, and all conyen-
iences at reasonable rates.
The Board of Trade movement de-
serves all possible encouragement. Let
everybody give dt a push.

power, they must OF necessity be cor
rupt That fund is corruption fund.
and corruption fund is never given to
any party that is not corruption par
ty. If the expenditure of these vast
sums of money is not rebuked at the
polls the purity and freedom of Ameri-
can elections is at an end If there was
no act in any branch OF the government
imperialistic in its tendency the very
methods of election which the Republic
can party has openly and VIGOROUSLY
adopted would destroy the republic.
When the ballot box is carried
by dollars, then those who furnish the
dollars intend TO secure corrupt control
OF the government for their own selfish
purposes. When they have secured this
control then a government of the peo-
pie is at an end. The Democratic party
will have a fund sufficient TO pay the
legitimate expenses of the campaign.
They will have no more and they want
no more. In 1892 the Democrats had
more money than they required and it
was returned intact after the election.
This year they rely upon small SUBJ
scriptions. They want no large ones.
The Democratic party has never yet ac-
cepted such q subscription as is given
the Republican party by trusts. To ac-
eept such a subscription would place
the party under obligations to the sub
seriberS. The Republican party gath

The Democratic party gathers them
in small amounts in every eongression-
al district. If there was nothing else
in favor of the Democrats this year. the
manner OF campaign alone ought TO
carry this country for Bryan.
The Democrats who are posted with
the national situation are very much
elated over the prospects. and it can be
said with almost absolute certainty that
however New York goes in the State
election its electoral vote will be cast
for Bryan. The reports received in
, Washington are even more favorable
as to West Virginia than those of the
Democratic State Committee at
Charleston. While no actual poll has
been made, it has been calculated by
precincts with the fullest reports OBJ
tainable and shows a Democratic ma
iority OF twenty-five thousand. 1t now
looks as though this would be increas-
ed rather than decreased.

MR. BRYAN.s LETTER.

The Register this morning publishes
the full text of Mr. Bryan's letter of ac-
ceptance 1t is a document which will
commend itself to the American people.
Particularly timely and pertinent are
his comments upon the trust evil, and
his remark that the private monopoly
has always been an outlaw, is truism
which will meet with wide recognition
as containing world OF fact in few
words, while his promise that, If elect
ed, he will select an attorney general
who will, without fear or ia
vor, enforce existing laws" and
that he will recommend such
additional legislation as may
be necessary to dissolve every pri-
vate monopoly which does business
outside of the State of it's origin; and,
If contrary to my belief and hope, a
constitutional amendment is found to
be necessary, / shall recommend such
an amendment as will, without impair
ing any of the existing rights OF the
State, empower Congress to protect the
people of all the States from injury at
the hands of individuals or corpora
tons engaged in interstate commerce, y
carries world of hope to a people who
have long been oppressed through de-
liberate Republican Vaccinations. Mr..
Bryan promises relief, and he will keep
that promise.
His denunciation of the Dingley tariff
law as a trust breeding measure will
also meet with popular approval. His
definition of that iniquity is a happy
one
The financial question is discussed
upon broad grounds, and the Republi-
can party is arraigned for its shifting
course while the recently enacted cur
rency bill comes in for a deserved scor-
ing
Mr. Bryans letter is a straightfor-
ward document, which will further
commend him to the favorable consid-
Grafton Of thinking and patriotic voters.
It's careful consideration is commended
to our readers.

ONE "OFFICIAL RECORD"

Captain Dovener has lately had some
thing to say about the dearth of "ofii-
cial records" regarding the Philippine
iniquity. The Register desires to call
the Captains attention to just one little
official record, for starter. 1t is dated
April 27, 1898. United States Consulate,
Singapore, and reads as follows:
Secretary of State, Washington
General Aguinaldo gone my instance
Hong Kong arrange with Dewey co-opera-
ton insurgents Manila, PRATT.
Which, being reduced to plain Eng
lish, means that United States Consul
Pratt, at Singapore, evidently with the
advice and consent of Secretary Hay
and the administration at Washington,
sent General Aguinaldo to Hong Kong
to confer with Admiral Dewey relative
to the armed cooperation of the Fill
pino insurgents against Spain.
Pratt wired Admiral Dewey of the ar
rangement, and the then commodore
replied:
Tell Aguinaldo come soon as possible"
And General Aguinaldo went, and in
his report to Secretary Hay, Mr.. Pratt
said
The General impressed me as a man of
intelligence, ability and courage, AND
WORTHY OF THE CONFIDENCE
THAT HAS BEEN PLACED IN HIM"
