ported safe. At any rate the mine
was permitted to continue in opera
ton. At the same time we are told
that for a considerable period it has
been known generally in that local
ity that this mine was not safe.
If this be true, if this mine was
duly and properly inspected only a
few months previous to this horror
it would seem to be at least a most
potent argument for more frequent
inspections. The views of the chief
inspector on this point, as we have
said, would be appropriate and time
ly, likewise a suggestion as to what
could have occurred since the recent
inspection when the mine was report
ed fit to operate to so radically in
crease the per centage of danger as
shown by the fact of this awful ca
1amity.
Human life is precious and it is to
safeguard those who peril their
lives in the depths of the earth that
the mine inspectors Office was Great
ed. His responsibility is no slight
one.

THE FLAG AND
THE CONSTITUTION.
Wetzel Democrat.

Wetzel Democrat.
Wherever the British flag is raised there
stands the Queen. Wherever the American
flag is raised, there stands the American
constitution. 1t is either the constitution
or nothing, for the President is nothing
without the Constitution.
To our mind, this Republican claim that
there can be United States authority with
out the United States Constitution is pre-
posterous, and not only preposterous, but
a dangerous doctrine. If we can hold ter
ritory not under constitutional authority,
then by what authority? There will come
a day of reckoning for all these subter
fuges 10 defend and justify the reckless
disregard of law which seems to be the
determination of the Mckinley government
in dealing with our new possessions. When
this government was organized the consti-
tuition was made. From time to time it
has been amended, not for the States but
for the territories as well. Never, until
the Canton Napoleon straddled his imper-
ial steed, did anybody ever hear of sus-
pending the Constitution, or of one law for
the States and another for the Territories,
or as such miserable creature as an
American subject. If the thing were not
dangerous we might be content to make
1t the subject of ridicule, for the bCrlesque
stage never offered anything more absurd.
1t is high time the people were beginning
to consider the future of such policies.
Where will they all end? High times when
any class of citizens can demand that the
Constitution be violated in their interest.
as have the protected manufacturers in
the Puerto Rican tariff law

Property owners who desire to ap-
pear before the county Board Of Equal
ization and Appeals for reduction or
correction of assessment, should at
once prepare their papers and file them
with the Clerk of the Board. The
Board meets on the 10Th inst, and it
is important that all petitions be in
by about the 10Th, so they may be
classified by districts and arranged
alphabetically. The Board will prob
ably consider two districts each day,
commencing Monday, the 18th. and
thus petitioners can know about when
their case will come up by the name
of the district and the initial of the
name. For instance name commenc-
ing with "a" in Washington, would
be taken up the first thing. while m, "
in Richie, would not be heard before
Wednesday or Thursday Unless some
such action is taken by petitioners to
get papers in early. and they are al
lowed to come in with a rush at the
last moment, no one will know when
their case is to be called, and as a re-
suit may have to be personally in at
tendance for several days.
So far only about thirty petitions
have been filed.

Inspector on the subject of the Red

Of course, we cannot expect occult
knowledge from the State Mine In

cleared mine, the cause of the explo-

the Inspectors views on the subject
of this terrible disaster more fully
than he has yet given them.

OIL NEWS.

Special to the Register.
CADIZ, Ohio, March 9.-The Hogg
& Glover Conpany's well No. 5, on the
Samuel Robh eighty-acre tract, west of
the Bricker wells, is in and shot, and
will make good producer, probably
20 barrels. This company has declar-
ed a dividend. Members of the COM
pany have been offered $500 for 500
shares. The Holmes well, just outside
the city limits, will be re-shot, as it
is thought that will increase its flow.
The well drilled by Col. Wallace, at
Georgetown, where the tools were lost
within a few feet of the Berea sand,
will be redrilled, the derrick being
moved few feet.
The Cadiz & Braddock Oil Company's
well, near Flushing, is in and only
slight traces of oil were found Dom

Mr.. Harrison to puncture the Anglo
maniacal bubble that has been initiating
itself in administration circles since
Mr.. Mckinley adopted the English i'm
perial and colonial system Accord
ing to the published version OF Mr..
Harrison's statement, he contends
that there is no occasion for graft
tude on the part of this government
towards the British. He thinks the
British were guilty of inhuman prac-
tices during the revolutionary war,
and that their attack on this nation In
1872 had no justification from any in
ternational standpoint. while their
conduct toward the Union during the
Civil war was also reprehensible.
He sees no occasion for enthusiasm
over the friendship of the English dur
ing the war with Spain, as 1t was a
was a war against cruelty and clearly
for humanity. There was no reason
why the British or any other enlighten-
ed nation should not have been with
America on this proposition.
If the British were suppressing cru
city in South Africa, or remedying
conditions that interfered with human
government, the United States would
be justified in lending its sympathy.
On the contrary, General Harrison
thinks, here is republic fighting for
its home and its own government,
cause as just as the Americans had In
their great war of the eighteenth CEN
fury.
From time to time these Boer far
mers have been driven from their
homes by the British, back into the
wilderness, and each time they have
meekly gone, till now, Mr.. Harrison
thinks, the oppression has become too
much to endure further.

The sugar and tobacco trusts who
are backing the Porto Rican tariff
bill have numerous active agents in
Congress supplementing the influence
of Mr.. Mckinley. They are prepared
to trade for the support of the Re-
publican Senators who are opposed to
the bill. They are willing to concede
free trade in anything else, provided
the sugar and tobacco trusts are pro-
Iccted from the competition of the
little island.

THE DEBT SCHEME WORKING.
The Register takes the following
from the Wall street ticker talk" of
the New York World:

The Register takes the following
from the Wall street ticker talk" of
the New York World:
THE committee, of which John Crosby
Brown is chairman having the West Vir-
ginta debt matter in charge, has scored
great success in procuring the passage by
the State of Virginia of an act authnsizing
the officials of that State to institute
suit in the Supreme Court at Washington
against the State of West Virginia for its
passed last week and signed by the Gov
ernor of Virginia yesterday.
This is the first step In the programme
marked out by the Brown committee year
or more ago, and marks the first sub
stantial advance that has ever been made
toward the, settlement of the West Vir-
ginia debt"
Here we have the same old scheme
over again and reinforced by the Off
cial sanction of the State of Virginia.
Those who have imagined that the
repeated defeat of this scheme in one
Legislature after another has killed the
scheme or tired out or discouraged the
schemers do not appreciate the amount
at stake and the comparatively little
expenditure involved by the holders Of
the certificates, who paid a merely
nominal sum for paper representing a
par value of at least $15,000,000. If
they could recover 1.-THE of this sum
it would more than repay them for
their trouble.
AS suggested in these columns yes
terday, the bill just passed by the Vir-
ginia Legislature provides for no suit
that would stand in any court, and was
evidently put through by the Wall
street lobby as a new club to hold
over the next West Virginia Legisla-
ture.
In this connection the Register
would warn the people of the State
that this incubus will surely be sad
died upon West Virginia if trickery,
chicanery and bribery can accomplish
1t, In fact, eternal vigilance is the
price of freedom from this burden.
Let the voters elect no men to con-
troll tainted with suspicion on this SUBJ
ject, nor vote for any legislative can
didate not openly and solemaly pledg-
ed to do all in his power to defeat this
scheme.

Republican representatives are in
dignant over what they denounce as
an effort of President Mckinley in

good man in the White House can do
no wrong and that therefore he is in

THE INNOCENT REPUBLICAN LEAD
Frs

THE INNOCENT REPUBLICAN LEAD
Our esteemed contemporary Editor
Morris of the Parkersburg Journal,
says he has been a member OF most
of the legislatures of this State for the
last twenty years" and that he never,
never, never heard of the Republican
leaders being interested in pushing the
Virginia debt scheme through the Leg
islature or that it was ever discussed
in any Republican caucus. AS we
would not doubt Editor Morris's word,
given thus emphatically, we can only
condole with him that SO old Repub-
lican was not taken into the inner
the real caucllses-for example, that
held in a certain Republican United
States Senator's rooms in a Charles
ton hotel during a recent session OF
the Legislature. But maybe this is
matter for congratulation, Editor Nor
ris's well known honesty and indepen-
dence probably barring him from in
vitation to this memorable gathering
OF the Virginia debt schemers. Ger
tain it is that at that session only the
Rmpt. action and ~stonewall opposi-
ton of the Democratic members pre-
vented the Virginia debt scheme,
which was backed by rich and pow
erful lobby from Wall street, from
,,oco;,o xho oricJof,ra
If our Parkersburg contemporary
would like to have his memory re-
freshed by a few more details on the
proceedings during said memorable
session at Charleston, the Register will
be happy to furnish them.
] Having been a State Legislator for
twenty years, Editor Morris easily will
recall the significant fact that no Dem
ocratic Legislature would even enter
tain this Wall street debt proposition,
and that it was promptly knocked in
the head whenever it showed front,
the consequence being that for many
years prior to the ascendency of the
ItPpuDliCdu patty III IhC I<Coiai1IulO
the debt question was never preached
and was generally regarded as dead.
AS soon as the present State ring
got its grip on the affairs of State,
however, the Wall street spectators
could hardly swarm here fast enough.
Indeed, it has been openly charged on
excellent authority that these Wall
street spectators, who had bought up
these debt certificates for mere song,
had most literally contributed to the
Republican campaign fund that elect
ed the Legislature in question with
the understanding that they were to be
reimbursed by the passage of their
scheme. That the game was blocked
by the Democrats does not alter the
fact that the Republican leaders Sc
cretly brought every pressure at their
command to bear to deliver the goods,
Republican Senate the adverse Demo-
cratic resolution until forced by re-
peated Democratic inquiry and public
opinion to present it to the Senate,
when, of course, they dared not de-
feat it.
If our Parkersburg contemporary
doesn't know these things he has been
asleep while member of most West
Virginia legislatures for the last TWEEN
ty years"
