Testimony by competent witnesses as
to the estate of matrimony is always
interesting to those who have not yet
entered that estate. A Chicago lady who
has just ben discharged from a detention
hospital, where she was sent for hurting
a few f1atirons, a pair of shears. a coal
scuttle and other movables at her hus-
band, said:
"Of course I'm not crazy. If everyone
who throws something during domestic
dispute were sent to the insane asylum 1t
would keep the county busy building asy-
lums to hold the lunatics."
Perhaps, boys, before you apply for
that marriage license 1t would be just
as well to take few months to consider
the matter and put in the time fighting

1t is said in defense of Senator Hanna
that he does not pretend to be a saint
while doing devilment." What would be
the use Of pretending? Mr.. Hanna has
been in active politics long enough to have
become transparent. He has not the
grace of speech or the sweetness of tenn
per to conceal the gloss over his wicked
ness. He employs the methods of bru-
tality rather than those of finesse and has
become hardened to criticism He mounts
the rostrum not for the assertion of a
principle. but to cry out. More money.

Bryan will have crowd; go will Ring
ling's circus. But who is likely to vote TOR
the circus ?-Parkersburg State journal.
Who indeed! A good many people
declined to do it up in Republican Yer
mont the other day The Republican
circus is the very greatest on earth. Its
menagerie contains shop-worn ele-
plant. Mark Hanna is ring-master and
collector of revenue, Clown Roosevelt
is again in the ring as Mr.. Merryman,
Mr.. Elkins is one of the general man
ayers and principal owners, and Mr.
Scott is the interlocutor at the closing
minstrel performance. People admire
this circus, chiefly because it has more
than three rings, but they are going to
decline to vote for 1t. Nobody votes for
circuses, at least not this year. The
people this fall are going to vote for
Americanism and all that word implies.

Hanna's Corruption Fund.

Syracuse Telegram.
Hanna's 'hold-up' extends to the fed
eral office holders, from cabinet officers
and ambassadors down TO the lowest of
the class. The question is naturally rails
ed, what does Hanna propose TO do with
the stupendous sum of money he is rails
ing? He cannot spend it on legitimate
campaign expenses, and the conclusion is
unalterable that the vast sum is to be
used in the attempt to debauch Ameri-
can voters and to buy McKinley's cleo
ton in close or doubtful States. The great
body of American voters is honest and In
corruptible and are not for sale, as the
INSCRIPTIONS Hanna is likely to find out
to his bitter disappointment.

COL. JACKSON DECLINES.

The Register, in common with a. ma
Jorlty OF the voters of the First West
Virginia district, regrets that Col. T.
M. jackson finds it impossible to ac-
cept the Congressional nomination so
spontaneously rendered him at the
hands of the Sistersyille Convention.
His declination is not a surprise of to-
day to tn Register. 1t was known In
this office and to many Democrats as
long ago as Monday last that Col.
Jackson was disposed to withdraw, but
there was hope that he would recon-
slider, and therefore the publication
was withheld until he could be COM
municated with. Enquiries of him by tel
ephone and wire, however, brought no
encouragement, and his letter of decli-
nation, addressed to the Chairman of
the Notification Committee, Hon w. NJ.
Kincaid, was not withdrawn. In addi-
ton, Col Jackson yesterday forward
ed the following final telegram:
"CLARkSBCR.G w. Va, Sept 5.
Charles III. fancy, Wheeling W. Va
PLEASE TO say 10 the gentlemen signing
telegram that it will be impossible for me
to accept Congressional nomination | SO
notified the committee on the third in
slant. ct NJ. JACKSON"
The Register deplores Col. jackson S
determination, for it believes he would
have been triumphantly elected, as will
his successor upon the ticket. This is
going to be Democratic year All in
dications point to the success of the
party of the people, in this district, in
the State and in the nation, and Col
Jackson would have made an ideal
Congressman, being eminently qualified
for that responsible position. 1t now
only remains for the Committee to fill
the vacancy, and that will be done
within very short time. The party
will do the rest.

A good many enthusiastic souls rs

A good many enthusiastic souls re-
mote from the seat of war are clamor-
ing for the total destruction Of Peking,
as punishment for Chinese crimes. That
the Chinese have committed grlevious
sins is beyond all doubt, but to put a
great city to the torch in retaliation is
scarcely the thing to do, for it would
bring loss, suffering and death to thous-
ands of people entirely innocent of
wrong. A far better plan would be to
lay hands ON the Chinese officials who
brought about the present trouble, and
impose a proper indemnity. There has
been enough of bloodshed and burning
already.
