Col. Robert McEldOyvney.

Parkersburg State Journal.
No man in West Virginia possessed more
friends and fewer enemies than Col. Rop-
ert McEldowney, whose death was noted
in these columns Tuesday. AS an eoltor
and lawyer, his marked ability won MIN
the respect of all who knew him. Also
he was recognized as a poet of no mean
ability his productions in this line being
characterized by both pathos and humor
1t is chiefly for his noble qualities OF
character, for his great and kindly neart
for his genial qualities that he was most
regarded.
In the midst of his terrible suffering
he was cheerful, and many of the bes'
and brightest things he ever wrote were
while he was making his heroic struggle
against disease and death.

Springfield, Mass, Republican.
Mr. Bryan's speech at Topeka, accepting
the Populist nomination for the Presiden-
cy, will be searched in vain for any sign
of shifting on his part concerning the
paramount issue of the campaign. He
again presents his views on silver, the in
come tax, trusts and other questions. but
he expressly informs the Populists that
the supreme issue is that which the Dem
ocratic convention has declared to be
paramount.

The English in South Africa are not
much above some of the foreign troops
in China as regards the conduct of
war Some wandering Beers tore UP
a few miles of railway track, and Lord
Roberts decreed the destruction by fire
Of thirty farm houses in retaliation.
That meant that women and children
must be driven out of their houses in
the cold of the South African winter
and compelled to watch their homes
and all their belongings given to the
flames. That sort of warfare reflects
no credit upon those engaged in it.

NOT MUCH TO 1T.

Our latest prize fights have been a
good deal like the French duel-nobody
gets hurt. In the good old times of the
pugilistic ring the contestants went at
it with bare knuckles, meant business,
and somebody invariably got knocked
out, if it took seventy rounds, as 1t
sometimes did. Now the poor dears
who employ type-writers in their leis-
ure moments, bandage their hands,
wear gloves, thump each other around
for a few rounds, rake dn aogreat many
thousands of dollars from the bam-
boozled public, and it is called fight,
although at the end neither man has a
mark on him and both drive off in car
RIGGS with admitting friends, within
fifteen minutes after they leave the
ring, to guzzle drinks in their private
saloons with their cronies. The al
legged prize fighting of the present day
is fraud, pure and simple If the
shades Of Heenan and Savers, Joe Co
burn, Jem Mace, Tom Hyer,, and some
others of the old boys could come back
to earth, they would smile over the an
tics of the modern "ringsters" When
Tom Allen and Joe Goss fought, some
body invariably got hurt.

Senator Platt wishes Theodore Roosevelt
distinctly to understand that the latter Is
now a national character and has noth-
ing whatever to do with Republican poll
ties in New York, in which State he Is
henceforward to regard himself as has
been back number of about the colonial
era. But Roosevelt demurs and insists
upon having a finger in the local pie. Sc
there is bad blood between Uncle Thomas

Ever since Monroe filed his everlasting
caveat the American continent has been

satisfy the ambition and employ the en-

enter a labyrinth of unfamiliar politics

five thousand feet deep, or nearly five
miles, at an estimated cost of two mill
lion and one-half pounds sterling. This
shaft was to be forty-six by eighteen
feet din the clear, divided into five COM
partments, four for hoistways and the
fifth for pump pipes, electric cables,
pipes for cold air, exhaust ven.ilating
pipes, etc.
Seven hundred feet is comparative
ly small proposition. There is at least
thirty feet of solid coal under Wheel
ing, at depths varying from three hum
dred to seven hundred and fifty feet,
and the demands of industry will COM
pei capital and labor to get it out in
the course of time. Those who have
purchased coal privileges bought more
than one vein. They bought all there
wee, at whatever depth it might be. and
countless millions of tons have changed
hands.
I'D about Wellsburg and Steubenville
these low veins or Dlack diamonds are
much higher than at Wheeling, for the
dip of the strata is rather rapid 70 the
south or southeast. The lower Goals
are probably more than one hundred
feet higher at the mouth of Short
creek than at Wheeling, higher at West
Liberty and Bethany than at Elm Grove
or Triadelphia, and in turn higher
throughout Ohio county than in Mar
shall. But the coal is there just the
same, and when the upper levels are
exhausted, in the years to come, those
lower down will be compelled to yield
in turn. The Panhandle counties OF
West Virginia have coal to burn.

WE. HAVE COAL TO BURN

The gentlemen and corporations who
are buying up coal options in Ohio
county and contiguous territory arc get
ting much more than most people think.
1t is the common Surmise that the only
available coai is the ordinary four and
one-aa'f or five foot vein, mined By
drifting into the hillsides That vein,
of course, is very valuable in areas
where it is untouched, but when it is
exhausted there are others. Over the
whole Of Chic county about three hun
which is shafted for few miles up the
river, and below that still, the low
est being at depth of a little over
seven hundred feet, are three veins, two
of them eight feet thick and one ten
feet. 1t is all within reaching distance.
In England or Belgium, for instance,
they would go after all of that coal in
stanter, for some English mines are two
or three thousand feet deep, and even
GA t6uu Out uuutI Tie sea. he u66p
coal in this richly endowed territory
will all come out in time To shaft six
hundred feet for a ten foot vein, or
seven hundred and fifty feet for an
eight foot, is not esteemed large task
in other countries, or even in this,
when the precious metals or even cop
Per or lead are concerned. In South
Africa there are gold mines FIVE thous-
