The Mail-Tribune OF yesterday tries to
create the impression that whatever de-
velopment has been made in this State
within the last four years Is due entirely
to a prosperity peculiar TO a Republican
administration. Does IL mean to be un-
derstood as charging that this State made
no progress and development under the "a
years OF Democratic administration? Why
nearly everything that has been accom-
plished In this State was under Democrat
ic administrations in the early history Of
the State when there were few railroads
and little development. But for the last
dozen years there has been great develop
ment and the State will continue 10 de-
velop regardless OF the party in power
The administration has had no influence
whatever on this development No new
sources Of revenue have been devised by
the present State administration and Il
has simply sat in the capitol and received
that which came in under the laws as they
have existed for years. The only way in
which the Republican administration has
placed it's stamp on the conditions and pol
icies Of the State is in spending about one
third more money within the same length
Of time than the most expensive Demo-

PLAIN FACTS FOR statesmen.

Last Monday, at a noon political
meeting of commercial travellers at
Baltimore, Theodore Marburg. a TO-
bacco trust magnate, informed his
hearers that 1.-The drummers have had
their day." and went on to say that
the talk of abolishing the trusts is
as idle as to talk of breaking up the
great trunk lines and restoring the
pre-existing system of small indepead-
emily operated railroads" Enlarging
upon his idea, he asserted that the
employment Of travelling statesmen
was economic waste" and that the
old method of doing business had gone,
never to return. The tens of thous-
ands of commercial travellers all over
the land will be pleased at this an
nouncement, and will rally as one man
to the support of an administration
which has already nearly wrecked
their calling, and which in four years
more will utterly wipe it out.

RIGHT OF TRIAL BY JURY.

Roosevelt recently said that men
who object to government by intunc-
ton Ought to be classed with the
woody rhinoceros," and in reply Mr.
Bryan said, at Huntington, Monday:
"The Democratic party is opposed to
government by injunction. The DEM
ocratic party believes that right of trial
by jury is a sacred thing, and that, If
you can give it to the meanest thief
and the blacklist murderer, you ought
to give it to laboring man as WE'LL"
And at Thurmond, in the Kanawha
valley, after quoting Roosevelt's char
acterization of the workingman who
opposes government by injunction and
prefers to stand up for his rights, Mr..
Bryan said:
What is government by injunc-
ton? 1t is a process by which the la
boring man is deprived of the right of
trial by jury. The meanest thief who
steals is entitled to a trial by jury, and
if man kills another, no matter
whether from revenge or for love of
money, he Is entitled to trial by jury;
and II the murderer and the thief are
entitled to trial by jury, isn't the la
boring man entitled to trial by jury
also?"
The workingman may be "woolly
rhinoceros" in the estimate OF Mr..
Roosevelt, because he believes in
square deal, but the probabilities are
that he will continue to demand an
equal chance, when it comes to a trial
for an alleged infraction of the law,
along with the thug, the thief, the
pickpocket and the murderer. Trial
by jury is something to which all
American citizens are entitled and upon
which they ought to insist.

MIR. EUGENE v. DEBS.

Mr. Eugene v. Debs, labor leader,
champion of the workingman, and can
didate of the Social Democracy for
President of the United States, was in
Wheeling last evening, and delivered
an address at Arion hall to large and
attentive audience, which appeared to
be more interested than sympathetic
There was occasional applause or the
clapping of hands by few-but only
very few-yet Mr.. Debs held his hear
ers, and those present created the i'm
preston upon the careful observer that
they recognized the truth of much
he said, but were not prepared to ac-
cept his remedies.
Mr.. Debs is an earnest talker, thor
oughly at home upon the subject mat
ter of his addresses, but he is not con-
vincing He is interesting, but not prac-
tical. At times he is eloquent, and at
other times forceful, and has the fac
ulty of tersely presenting his ideas;
but the force of his utterances is broken
by the knowledge on the. part of his
hearers that through his own candi-
dacy he is throwing away the only OPP
portunity the people have of righting
the wrongs of which he complains and
of bringing about, to a very considera-
BILE degree, the reforms for which he
stands. That can only be done through
Democratic success, and not through
Mr.. Debs' candidacy. Mr.. Debs' ad-
vocacy of the cause of the people has
many forceful and commemorate fea-
lures, but he is missing the greatest
opportunity of years to take a long
step towards the goal he is heading for
in standing before the people himself.
He cannot Ibe elected, as he we'll knows,
and his candidacy may result in the
election of Mr.. Mckinley, in which case
the wage-earner's condition will be-
come worse and his chance for political

A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.

The Register this morning inaugu-
rates a voting contest which has most
decided merit and which we recon-
mend to our readers throughout
Wheeling, Ohio county, and the State.
Daily and until including the 10th OF
February the Register will print a
coupon, which Is to be cut out and
mailed or sent to this office, where an
accurate register will be kept and the
ultimate result published
The ten persons receiving the high
est number of votes will be presented
with free scholarships in the Inter
national Scholarship Schools OF Scran-
ton, Pa, and free text books, and full
necessary appliances and documents
will be presented free OF charge to
the successful competitors. The entire
outfit thus furnished free will be placed
on exhibition by the Register, at a
place TO be hereafter announced, while
on the second page of this issue will
be found all essential information as
to this exceptionally interesting idea,
which carries substantial benefits to
whomever the patrons of the Register
may designate by their ballots. The
contest closes at midnight on Febru-
airy 10, 1901, and the count Of coupon
votes will indicate the lucky and for
tunate ten prize winners.

and before it opened, shouted for Bry-
an. For this they were assaulted and
beaten. This provoked more disorder,
and the affair eliminated in a free
fight, the unwilling working men de-
Tending themselves from an attack up
on them, led by the bosses.
This is the most fragrant case OF
intimidation recently coming to notice,
and is equalled only by the notorious
tactics of four years ago, when work
ingmen were not only compelled,
through fear OF discharge, to march
in Republican parades, but were taken
on long railroad trips to cities and
towns to participate in demonstrations
in which they had no interest and in
advocacy of cause in which they did
not believe. Thousands of men who
marched in Mckinley parades four
years ago voted for Bryan, and this
year tens of thousands more will re-
sent the tactics of 1896 and the at
tempts to repeat them in 1900 by cast
ing a ballot for freedom and reform.
Thanks to the Australian ballot, which,
in some form, is in vogue in most of
the States, the workingman can vote
as he pleases. No man can know, as
no man has any right to know, how
any individual may cast his vote, and
this advantage the wage Garner has
over the political boss or the domi-
neering employer, will count big on
the sixth day of November. Every
mans vote is his own, to be cast as
his judgment and conscience dictates,
and both judgment and conscience will
insist at the coming election, that a
vote against intimidation and in de-
tense of the individual right Of suf
frage would be the very best invest
ment the wage Garner could make n
defense of his manhood and freedom
of thought and action, while the re-
buke to those who assume to regard
workmen as political vassals would be
both timely and merited. The man
who works for wages is not serf,
holding the franchise simply to exer-
else 1t at the beck and nod of whoever
happens to pay him wages. He nas
still all the rights of free American
citizen, and he ought to be careful at
the coming election, to SO exercise that
right as to ensure its perpetuation-
and take nobody into. his confidence
