THE INTELLIGENCER.
The eovernorship.


There has been lll-advised inslstenee
of late that there Is only one man in the
Republican party who. II nominated for
the soyernorship, would possibly be
stronger than his party. and that one
candidate is demanded by the force OF
the appeal OF the plain people" This
Is borrowing from Bryan. who affects
to be the particular champion of what
he is pleased to term the common peo-
pie" 1t is not likely that any man is
being forced to aspire to the honor of
becoming governor Of West Virginia
against his will, and the friends of any
candidate are not in any measure help
ing that candidate for whom they claim
any special or extraordinary qualities
Of availability.
Let It be understood that the 1ntelll-
geucer speaks for no particular candI-
date. 1t will be for the nominee of the
convention, and Will give that gentle
man It's warmest endorsement in fight
ing the common enemy. 1t wishes to
make plain, however, to the friends of
any gentleman who seeks the nominal
ton that the argument of super-pOpu-
larity and strength to the exclusion of
the consideration Of any other Republic
can who aspires to the nomination, is
Of feeble force II that is the sole recon-
mendatiou Of his candidacy.
ANY reputable. clean Republican who
secures the nomination can be elected.
He will have no trouble in polling the
full strength Of the party,
and any suggestions that such
a man cannot, come from a
source that is open to the suspicion Of
loyalty to any man who may be sue
cessful as against this or that faction.
We do not think the fact will be dis
puted that there was no man in West
Virginia who was considered stronger
candidate than Judge Con-, who was
elected governor of the state in 1888,
and. counted out. Yet Judge Con ran
but a few hundred votes ahead Of Har-
rtson. In that year Cons plurality was
10, while Cleveland scratched through
with only COG. Take again the case of
Governor Atkinson. The party was alb
solutely unanimous in regard to his
nomination, there was not the slightest
opposition to It in convention. He was
a decidedly popular man with his party,
and was well thought of by many of his
friends Of the opposition, yet the In
roads he made In the Democratic vote
were comparatively small. His plural
fly over General Watts was 1853. while
President McRInley's over Bryan
was 11,Es7. These precedents go
to show that no man is
so much stronger than his party that IT
becomes a matter of material import
ance at election time when the issues
and principles Of the party are tightly
drawn.
As we said before. any reputableI
clean Republican can be elected. and all
distractlng arguments to the contrary
are based on false premises.

The Democrats In Congress not Rnow-
ing what they want themselves, and
being at sea for fundamental issue in
the approaching campaign. profess to
know all about the Presidents mind on
matters of current legislation. They
AFFECT to have knowledge OF what he
wants and what he doesn't want. The
assertions OF the leaders. OF course, are
made to confuse the Republicans and
to create an impression In the country
that the party and the President are at
loggerheads on questions relating to the
government OF our recently acquired
possessions.
The senate was very prompt to act on
the Puerto Rlcan bill which passed the
house the other day, the committee. of
which Senator Foraker is the head,
substituting the bill framed by that
gentleman for the civil government OF
the island, and amending and reducing
tine rates Of duty to conform to the
measure adopted by the house. This
is IN unqualified answer to the conten-
ton of the Democrats that President
Mckinley was opposed to any leglsla-
tior at present that will relieve our
possessions of military control. The
motive Of the Democrats in seeking to
convey this impression is too obvious.
They want the people to believe that
the President desires to play the auto
crat as long az he can. when they know
well enough that nothing Is farther re-
moved from his intentions and wishes.

this section for come time to come.
events big with fate are imminent.
While It Is undoubtedly true that for
elRn capital is largely investing in en-
terprises in West Virginia, It Is also
true that her own capitalists are putting
in their good money. West Virginia
coal is as good as the best, and it has
the advantage OF being mined cheaper.
1t will no; be many years before Penn
sylyanla will have to look sharply TO
her prestige as the largest coal pro-
Queer In this country. We are creeping
up to her at very rapid pace.
There is another factor in this aetivi-
ty to which the Intelllgencer referred a
short time ago, and that Is the coal
famine in Europe, which is assuming
serlous proportions. A trade writer at
London, discussing passing Develop
ments, says Of the British coal indus
try:
Coal shipments from the United States
10 European ports are being conEidera-
Div Increased as the direct outcome OF
the great rise In prices lately witnessed
in This country. American coal rrolu-
GERS and exporters. with characteristic
energy, are leaving no stone unturned
in their efforts to take full advantage
OF the present opportunity for pushing
the sale of their coal. Agents are pc
ing dispatched from. the other side
10 some OF the principal European coun-
tries, IN order TO secure contracts by
quoting lower prices than are al pres
emit asked by English firms. But Eur
opean coal consumers are hardly likely
TO contract extensively at the present
figures. as many consider that lower
prieeg are Inevitable In the near>future,
and consequently will only buy sutfici-
ent quantities to meet their immediate
requirements. There are so far no In
dlcatiOns OF any resumption OF the I'M
portatlon Of America coal into ENG
land, which was arranged NJ tn time
OF the Welsh coal strike, but u there is
no considerable rise in freight rates
from America, Il Is by no means unlike
ly that the business may be carried
through again. Somehow, America
seems to be tho only country just now
not pinched for coal. Very much what
we are experiencing is being experienced
by Germany, where prices have been
raised enormously, and where the Rhe-
nish- Wcstphalian syndicate find their
resources oYertaXed. 1t is said that II
is with the greatest difficulty that they
are able to keep the railways and big
consumers supplied. In Austria pos
Tive coal famine has been proclaimed.

M. \. F. Barrett's Candidacy.

Among the candidates for president
of the league to be voted for at the COM
ventlon of the State League OF Republl-
can Club at Parkersburg on March 8
the name of Thomas F. Barrett Of that
city. has been prominently mentioned.
Three years ago when the League last
met at Charleston, he was considered
one of the most available persons for
the place, but declined to be q candle
date. This time, however, he an
nounces he Is a candidate. His active
interest in party organization, his large
acquaintance with the hard workers Of
the party throughout the state, and his
well known ability as an organizer rec
ommend him for the position. he rep
resented the state on the National
League executive committee IN 1s96-1e91.
has frequently been mentioned a. Q
candidate for governor and for Con-
gress. He Is a native OF Wood county.
where he was born In 1851. and b
chairman of the Republican Committee
of that county. For years he has been
an energetic worker in the state and
national league. In letter to the Par

without rejecting on the other
gentlemen who aspire to the prtE-
dency OF the league, and who are most
excellent gentlemen, and deserving Re-
publicans. / again repeat that Thomas
i. Barrett is undoubtedly the map to
elect TO said presidency, and he WIN be
elected. His friends IRE loyal and de-
termined to give him this time the
league presidency. which he 90 geuef-
ously gave up in 1897. There ihould be
no opposition to him. With him at the
head OF the league, Republican clubs
would spring up all over the state, Re-
publican organization would be al
most InvincIblc. and every Republican
nominee would feel the power and sup
port of our said organization"

REFLECTIONS OF A BAoHE1oR.

The funniest thing in the world is a
woman who thinks she is.
The marriage Of convenience has no
love in 1t, but the love is generally
waiting around the corner.
A woman generally keeps her Ideals
till she makes up her mind that she
doesn't want to walt till she gets to
heaven to get married.
When the women of town make up
their minds that two people ought to
get engaged they report It around that
they have IAN understanding"
The only safe time to propose to a
girl is when she has the lockjaw and
has both her arms in spIlnts, and then
you better leave the door open.-New
York Press.
