The leading Democratic candidate
for Auditor seems to be Col. James
II. Miller, of Hinton, Summers
county. He is Chairman of the
Democratic Congressional Commit
tee for the Third district, and did
such good work for the party in the
last campaign that it brought him
prominently before the public for
political preferment, and as he has
been working up his interest for the
past two years, he seems to be in
the lead for the nomination at Park
ersburg this week. AS manager of
the campaign for Judge Johnston
two years ago, he carried his man
through and elected the only Demo
cratic member of Congress from this
State, redeeming the district from
the Republicans. As Preston coun-
ty had no special choice, a resolu-
ton was passed in our county con
vention here May 5th endorsing the
candidacy of Mr.. Miller, although
it does not bind the delegates to
vote for him Mr. G. w. Corbin.
Of Fairmont, was here last week
looking after his chances for the
nomination, but we fear he is too
late in the race. lie is a very clever
and enthusiastic young Democrat,
and has been over the State consid-
erably looking up bis prospects.

The Republican Bluff At Anti
Trust Legislation.
The Senate win Pass No Dill TO Elect
Senators by Popular vote or
the People.
Prom our noeaiar corresDondont.


Washington, June 4, 1900.
The Republican bluff at anti
trust legislation is being carried to
the extent of deyoting three days Of
the time of the House to speaking
and voting on the alleged anti-trust
resolution reported by the votes of
the Republican members of the
House Judiciary Committee, and
the bill amending the Sherman anti
trust law. The Democratic caucus
decided to oppose the resolution,
unless it was amended so as to
strike out the cncroachment upon
States rights, and to offer as
substitute the Littlefeld bill. If
Republicans had been sincere in
the desire to enact anti trust Iegisla-
ton, they would not have waited
until the closing days of the session,
when it is impossible for the lcgisla-
ton to get acted upon by the
Senate. 1t was held back purposely
to prevent action by the Senate.
The object being TO supply stump
speakers with arguments to use with
antitrust voters, while the big lead
ers, will pat the trust magnates on
the back and assure them that the
action of the House was for Cam
paign use only and has no chance
of going through the Senate. These
points have been brought out by
the Democrats of the House and
they will be kept before the people
by Democratic editors and speakers.
ttt
Representative Richardson, of
Tennessee, offered the following
resolution in the House Democratic
caucus and it was adopted
"Whereas, there is known to be
large and growing surplus in the
Treasury, over and above the
necessities of the government aris-
ing from the taxes levied and col
lected under the war tax act Of 1898
therefore, Resolved, That we favor
the reduction of the taxes provided
for in said act, and we do not think
the present session of Congress
should adjourn until said taxes
shall have been repealed as to Ger
tain articles and reduced as to
others, until there is total reduc-
ton in the aggregate of at least so
per centum. We pledge ourselves
at all times to support any measure
or measures providing for such re-
duction." Before the campaign is
over the Republican managers will
be sorry that they allowed Congress
to adjourn without reducing war
taxation.

Here is an interesting paragraph
from the Wheeling Intelligencer of
last Saturday:
The Republicans are very well
aware, though they do not say much
about it publicly, that it will be far
easier for the Democrats to carry
the House than the Presidency.
changes of comparatively few
votes in a score Of districts giving
the Democrats control, whereas il
would require the winning Of several
States to elect Bryan. OF course
there may be a landslide that will
give the Democrats a majority in
the House and the Presidency easily.
but even the most enthusiastic Dem
ocrats viii admit that there is a bet
ter prospect of controlling the House
than of electing Mr. Bryan.
This shows that the Republicans
are not so sure of the election this
fall as they were awhile back. and
are already getting ready to come
down the tree as easily as they can.

WONDER of wonders!

WONDER of wonders! Corrup-
ton has been discovered in the
government service in the Philip
pines. This plague seems to fol-
low the fight of the American
eagle wherever it goes. Last week
it was Cuba, and next week it may
be Puerto Rica or Hawaii. This
is the logical result of the policy
followed IN the Eagan and Carter
and numerous other cases at home.
The Eagan case put q premium on
dishonesty in the public service,
while the Carter case was not an
example of justice to excite fear in
the evil disposed.

policy. The fancy price has en-
abled most farmers whose crop was
an average one to place himself in
a position where he need not be
again wholly dependent on the
fleecy staple. The lesson taught
by last year is undoubtedly epitom-
lied in the one word, diversity" :"
If the cotton acreage can be reduc-
ed so that the yield will continue
less than 100000, bales the
price will remain good, while the
purplus land will be more valuable
when planted in anything other
than. 4 cent cotton.

REPORTS are coming in from all
over the country which show that
the agricultural conditions are ad-
justing themselves and that the
antagonism between citizens and
non citizens will be reduced to the
minimum. This is gratifying,
for with the agricultural interests
paralyzed the prosperity of this
country would be materially i'm
paired. There are a few dissatis-
fed people in both classes who will
manage to keep mp a wrangle, but
generally speaking the situation
will remain little changed from
last year.
