The soldiers are already called
out over in the coal regions OF
Pennsylvania, where there are so
many thousand striking miners and
blood has been shed and the situa-

time, all under the Republican
prosperity that is sweeping over the
land

The Republicans are not saying
anything about the Golf and
Fleming contest for Governor now,
since they nominated Judge Henry
Brannon for one of their Supreme
Court members. The fact that he
was member of the Court that de-
cided against Gen. Golf and helped
seat Fleming, closes their mouths on
that so-called steal.

The Republicans deny that they
favor the Trusts and try to claim
that they have passed laws against
them and declared against them in
their platform, ETC., all of which
amounts to nothing against the
plain facts of the case, that more
trusts have been organized during
the last three years that the Re-
publicans have had entire control
Of the country, the President, both
branches Of Congress and most of
the Courts, all the Cabinet officers
and the State of New Jersey and
West Virginia, where any kind of
a charter can be procured, than
we're organized before that time all
put together. This is a fact and
not a theory that confronts Us and
we dare any Republican to deny it
and prove IT, Everybody knows
that the Trusts put up the money
for McKinley's election in % and
Of course they expected big return
for the investment and they have
been getting il.

The Hon. Julius c. Reminger, a
young Republican attorney of Oak
land, addressed the Freer Club at
Tunnelton last Saturday night and
tore the air into fragments shouting
about the Mckinley prosperity that
enveloped the land, with a hundred
men out at the West End mines
and idle for months, within mile
of the meeting and hundred more
idle men down at Austen three OF
four miles further. o, you don't

In the Barbour Democrat of last
week appears a column letter from
George w. Barnes, one of the lead
ing Republicans of that county, de-
nouncing the Mckinley administra-
ton and coming out squarely for
Bryan and giving good reasons for
the faith that is in him. In fact
there is not a county in the State
but what reports cases similar to
that of Mr.. Barnes. They are even
to be found in the rock-ribbed Re-
publican county of Preston.

Some time since it was published
in the State papers that Senator
Elkins had been abusing his frank
ing privilege by sending out his
speech delivered before the Repub-
lican State Convention at Charles
ton, as part of the Congressional
Record, which goes free. The Re-
publican papers of the State made
haste to deny it and denounce the
Democrats for publishing such
scandalous matter. Now comes
forward full statement of the
matter with the affidavits of promi-
nent and reliable citizens that they
did receive copies of the speech in
official envelopes, sent out free.

On the first page of this issue we
publish long and well-written let
ter from Champ Clark, the famous
Missouri Congressman, and all who
fail to read it will miss a good

makes reference in it to his speech
at Mt. Lake Park and his joint dis
cussions with Grosvenor, Dolliver,

Republican nominee for the County

the reasons for his resignation. 1t

An exchange thus gives its home
untertaker boost zone Of the
pleasantest sights we have seen in
this town for long time was the
artistic manner ia which John
Griffin buried Bill Kruger, who died
since our last issue. Mr.. Griffin
has his trade at his fingers end,
and he handled our dead citizen in
a manner that was startling in its
originality. He was everywhere at
once, weeping with the bereaved
widow, discussing farm prospects
with the farmers and soliciting bus
mess with the other attendants at
the funeral. lie will doubtless be
able to get all the business in
these parts. Before leaving for
home he subscribed for this great

For two or three years Mr. LeFevre has

will be issued by Mr.. Egan. Than the
statement OF Mr.. LeFevre's promotion. the
fact that his headquarters viii be New

circular will probably convey no other
Information. as no other change that may
grow out Of a decision reached by the
officials TO separate the actual manage
ment OF the Ocean Steamship Company
ana the Central Railroad will not be made

In speaking OF the prospective appoint
ment of Mr. LeFevre as manager. Mr.
Egan said the latter was in Savannah a
few days ago for a consultation about the
matter. The plan. under consideration for
some time. was then determined upon. and
It but remains for a few details 10 be ad-
justed before the formal circular au-
uouncement Is made to the steamship
and railroad world.

Egan said. will remain under It's pres

cision as to disposition OF the traffic has
yet been reached. but Mr.. LeFevre may
decide. when all phazes o. the situation
have been considered. 10 make appoint
n.ents that may tend TO the complete -
gregation OF the management OF the two

As manager. Mr.. LeFevre will report TO
President Egan. who. for some three
years. has been managing the Ocean
Steamship Company. The details OF the
physical operation, by Mr.. LeFeyre's ap-
pointment will be assumed by that gen
tleman and the president will be relieved
OF them.
When asked why the contemplated
change Is to be made. Mr. Egan replied
that the varied interests of the Ocean
Steamship Company, being q common wa
ter carrier for several transportation com
panies. appeared 20 demand segregation
from the management OF one OF those
companies. This was taken 20 mean that
the wish OF the railroads. others than iiiu
Central. entering Savannah for sepa-
rate management for the Ocean Steam
ship Company had been granted.
