Freer.

WetZel Democrat.
He is the most democratic
of all the Republican candidates,
while perhaps the least of a Democrat
He is opposed to Boss rule, and so is
every Democrat. If ever a party was
boss ridden almost to death it is the
Republican party of this State. 1t has
been that party's fortune, or misfor-
tune, that it's bosses have been men
of wealth, and that they have scatter
ed bounties with liberal hand. Crisp
new two-dollar bills have been as plen-
tiful before elections for the past ten
years as blackberries in August, and
all from Republican pay wagons
Hence, these rich bosses have come to
claim an ownership by purchase of the
party, and that they have a right to
dispense political favors according to
their own sweet will. A Republican
for ten years. has never thought OF
running for an Office until he had first
consulted Elkins. Now it will be nee
essary to see Scott also, and he will
be reckless man who gets on the
track without the consent of these
bosses first had and obtained.
Now, Freer has been just that kind
of man. He has announced himself
as candidate for Governor, wholly
regardless of what Scott or Elkins
may think or say about it.

A NOTABLE CONVERT.

The New York Sun, one of the bitter
est and most rantankerous Republican
and imperialist papers in the country
cannot approve the administration
pro- British stand in the South African
war 1t sneers at the British conten-
ton that President Kruger is a pure
self-seeker. corrupt and arbitrary, des-
politically overawing the populace, Boer
as we'll as Britain, through the power
of his political ring. 1t ridicules, as
only the Sun can, the British picture
of the Boer, which represents him as a
sodden, archaic and swinish type of
mankind, to whom liberty, as the
higher civilization knows it, is I'M
known, and for whom British rule
would be blessing deserving well
come.
What is seen Enthusiastically by the
entire world" says the Sun, "is that
the Boer men are fighting to preserve
their maligned government and their
despised independence with bravery
that commands universal admiration,
with a tenacity of purpose that can
come only from an immovable convic-
ton of the justice of their cause, and
with a unity of effort which shows
that there are no two opinions among
their people as to the duty of the mo-
ment. The intensity of their patriot
ism cannot be surpassed by any people
on the globe.
1.-The Beers are fighting to preserve
their national integrity against an in
vading conqueror, with heroism and
intelligence and unanimity which
prove that instead of being the slaves
of tyranny they are alive with the
spirit of freedom and approve and be-
lieve in their government with heart
and soul, and to a man"

authentic news that may reflect upon
the humanity of part of the popula-
ton of it's town. The Register has re-
ceived signed statements from both
Mr.. Neff and Mr.. Tough, in which they
say positively and unequivocally that
the report of the birth of the baby
published in the Register is correct in
every detail. Mr.. Neff over his own
signature declares that the statement
credited to him in the Register, word
for word, is correct except that one
sentence casting special reflection up
on one of Weston's physicians was
omitted by the Register.
The Register sympathizes with Wes-
ton and the other towns in Central
West Virginia scourged with smallpox,
but it cannot allow irresponsible news
papers to discredit it's news, no matter
whose reputation it hurts.

SOUTH CARoLINA'S EXPOSITION.

South Carolina proposes to open the
new century with an exposition in
Charleston in 1901. The exposition
will be illustrative of the general prog
ress of the South and particularly of
the rapid development of South Caro-
lima in recent years.
It is proposed to make a complete
display, we are told, of the crude and
manufactured products of the State
in all departments of industry. There
will be an especial effort to attract ex-
hibits from Cuba, Puerto Rico, Mexico
and the Philippines, to furnish visitors
an object lesson in the value of trop-
ical production. There will also be a
United States government exhibit, and
opportunity will be afforded for foreign
as we'll as home exhibitors. Especial
cooperation is invited and expected
at the hands of all the States in the
Union.
This is an opportunity that many
West Virginia industries may profit
by.
A new line of steamships is about
to open which will ply between
Charleston ard the northern coast cit
les which will bring the southern coast
metropolis still nearer to it's northern
Ieighbors in social as well as CONNER
cial relations.

A Faiien Idol.

Wetzel Democrat.
We have never been hero worship
err, and we get farther and farther
away from it as we grow older. We
do not bow down to the individual
man. Hence we never joined in the
Dewey idiocy. This craze recently got
a great setback at Wheeling. The visit
of Dewey was a disappointment, not
only to the dripping thousands who
risked their lives on the miserable
streets that stormy day, but to every
body connected with it, big and little.
The Wheeling invitation was, ac-
cording to Dewey's own statement, ac-
cepted in order to get even with some
people for talking about the way he
had disposed of the gift of the people,
and that he was disposed to honor
those who were disposed to honor him.
But when the day came around his
ardor had cooled. At the eleventh
hour, Mrs. Dewey, for whose reception
great preparations had been made, de-
clined to come. Mrs. Dewey is an &C
complished woman, but in feeling the
biggest aristocrat in Washington.
Wheeling is too small town for her.
1t might have been just as well If
Dewey had failed to come also. When
he did come he didn't want to do a
thing. He refused to leave his private
car, although elegant quarters had
been prepared for him at the Hotel Nc
Lure. He didn't want any parade, al
though nobody blames him for that.
He refused to attend the dinner pre-
pared for him by the Sons of the Revo-
luton and remained in his car play
ing whist(?) and drinking champagne
with party of selects. He was
dragged into a visit to the Loan Exhi-
bition, which he paid in a perfunctory
sort of way. He was in what parade
there was. but few people saw him.
At twelve o'clock that night the uxor-
ious old Admiral returned to Wash
ington, and nobody knows to this day
what he thought of his visit or wheth-
er he was happy or miserable. If Ad-
miral Dewey does not like parades he
should decline all such invitations. If
he wants to be let alone, and we be-
lieve that he does, he ought to be let
alone. The battle of Manila Bay was
not sea fight; it was only target
practice on a helpless lot of hulks in
the Spanish navy. Where and who are
the idiots who are talking Dewey up
for President? Why, he don't know
his own politics-if he has any.
We want no more of Dewey. The
idol has fallen.

The City Council of Philadelphia is
up in arms against the "dodger"
nuisance, on the ground that the dis
tribution of she "dodger" has become
an annoyance to householders and a
source of un,cleanliness to municipal
highways. Philadelphia might large
ly relieve its0lf of this nuisance if its
papers would educate the public to the
truth that a newspaper advertisement
is worth many thousands of dodgers
according to the circulation of the
paper in whose columns the advertise
ment is inserted. Newspaper adver-
tisements are read. Dodgers" are
usually thrown. away unread.

1t is significant it was by a strict
party vote the Kentucy House passed
the bill for reward for the apprehen-
sion OF the assassin of Gov. Goebel-
81 Democrats against 81 Republicans
The latter, evidently acting under in
structions OF their leaders, tried to
kill the bill by every possible means
and filibuste~ed against it for five
hours. This action fits in neatly with
usurper Taflor's refusal to offer a
reward for the apprehension of the
murderer or to do anything to assist
in his discovery or capture.

A GROSS UNTRUTH.

The Registers attention has again
the Weston Independent, in which the
declaration was made that the CORES
pondent of the Register had forged a
statement from Mr. Bert Neff, con-
corning the birth of the child of Porter
l. Lough, which child was born with
out the attendance of physician or a
female nurse, the doctots of Weston
having, it is alleged, refused attendance
on account of fear of smallpox. The
independents statement is a falsehood
from first to last, and seems to show
that that paper is not unwilling to re-
sort to Misrepresentation to discredit

REMARKABLE sMALLNEss.

The Porto Rican tariff bill as passed
by the House under the administration
lash is about as small and contempt
IDLY cowardly piece of legislation as
ever even the greediest of high tariff
barons have contemplated in the de-
tense of their giant infant indus
tries" which are big and strong
enough not only to stand alone, but
to conquer the whole industrial world
saying nothing of selling abroad about
twice as cheap as at home. We needn't
mention the extreme smallness OF
playing false to Porto Rico, which has
naturally entertained the impression
it was to enjoy the benefits of entry
into the American Union and not a
mere exchange of colonial, or imper-
ial masters.
Ibl RsA -Rican. bill turns the
stomach of even so staunch an advo-
cate of imperialism as the Louisville
Courier-Journal, which, calling atten-
ton to the fact that Porto Rico has
been taken from Spain and incorpor-
ated into the territory of the United
States by force of arms, protests
against the declaration of the lower
house of Congress that it shall not
have the protection of the Constitu-
ton of the United States, and that its
products must be Disseminated against
by levying upon them a tariff tax.
A few weeks ago, says Editor Wat
terson, the President and the chair
man of the Ways and Means Commit
tee said that free trade was the only
policy which should be adopted with
reference to the products of Porto
Rico and bill accordingly was drawn
up by the committee chairman. But
some Connecticut tobacco growers
heard of this and raised an objection.
The result was that instead of free
trade tariff of % per cent. of the
Dingley rates was proposed for Porto
Rico. So vigorously was this opposed
by some of the Republican Congress
men that in order to pass the bill the
tariff rate of rs per cent. was scaled
to IS per cent. and the life of the tariff
was limited to two years. Editor Wat
terson continues:
Thus the Republicans of the House say
to Porto Rico: we take you. whether
you will or not into the United States; we
deprive you of your former trade arrange
ments; we deny you the right to make
your own trade arrangements, and We
place a penalty upon any trade which you
may wish to carry on with the United
States"
And as these great statesmen could not
pass a permanent IS per cent. tariff law,
they compromised on Is per cent. rate
for two years!
The smallness of the whole proceeding is
appropriately capped by the section of the
act declaring that it is intended to meet
pressing, present need for revenue for
the island of Puerto Rico
That is as petty lie was ever sane
toned by vote in Congress. The act is
intended for no such purpose. It is intend
ed to placate few people in the United
States who fear that to allow Puerto Rico
to trade freely in the United States. of
which it is a part might take a few dol
lars from their own profits.
And the Kentuckian protests that
at is a contemplate surrender of prin-
ciple, a disgraceful sacrifice of right
and a cowardly trucking to few sell
fish interests by the party which has
always played the coward when con-
fronted by such interests"

When the Whip Cracks.

Parkersburg Sentinel.
The Ring kept the Republican State con-
vention away from Parkersburg, thereby
taking away from our business people
twenty thousand dollars or more that
would have been left in our city by the
delegates and candidates. A majority OF
the members of the committee had. before
the meeting, declared themselvs In favor
of Parkersburg. but when the Ring Master
cracked his whip the clowns and trick
mules all fell into line and ran away.

Belmont County NefEhbor.
To-day the Republicans will hold
their primaries, both for city and
township offices. The outlook does not
look very spirited and it is thought the
vote will not be as large as in former
years, when the party has been more
alive and better organized. The Mayor
and Marshal have no opposition, and
for the nomination have no fear.
There was much talk and comment
about the citizens movement on the
streets and in the hotels and business
houses yesterday but the Democrats
need not take part in this affair, as
they are not held responsible for the
city affairs when not in control Of
them.
There was a small fire yesterday
morning at the slaughter house of M.
List and R. Elikan. The blaze was
soon put out. The damage will
amount to about $780,
There was quite large attendance
at the fair of the Ladies' Aid Society
of the German Reformed Church last
evening. A special programme had
been arranged and was much enjoyed
by all those present.
Senator Archer arrived home last
evening and will remain for a few
days.
Gale Potts, of the Fifth ward, has
moved his family to New Castle, where
they will make their future home.
Mrs. VIM. Daugherty gave birthday
party at her home in the Third ward
last evening. About six hundred in
vitations were issued and a large
number attended. The evening was
very enjoyably spent. The proceeds Of
the affair go to the First M. E. Church.
The Good Templars gave an enter
tainment at G.. A. R. Hall last night.
Visitors were there from Martins

Col. James Bonnysteel has returned

J. E. Blackburn, State food and dairy
commissioner, arrived here last even

smile which he is noted for.
