denounces trusts, imperialism, the
Porto Riean tariff, the Philippine war,
militarism, the recent financial act Of

We note with pleasure the nomina-
ton of Col. J. Garland Hurst, Of JEFF
ferson county, for the position Of
State Treasurer on the Democratic
ticket. His business ability and per-
sonal popularity make him just the
man for the place, and his nomination
strengthens the ticket greatly in the
Eastern Panhandle. 1t opens up to
him the field of State politics, and
it is more than likely that the people
will call him yet higher. If he ac-
cepts the nomination it will simplify
matters greatly in this senatorial dis
trict, avoiding a conflict that may
possibly cause unfortunate complica-
tons.

THERE is a serious state of affairs in
China. Great numbers of the lower
class of natives known as Boxer"
have arisen in opposition to the for
eigners in general, and the Christian
missionaries and their converts in par
ticular, and have been committing Sc
rious depredations, many native Chris
tians having been murdered and few
of the foreign missionaries being also
slain. The Chinese government is
either unable or unwilling to quell the
Instruction, and Russian, German,
United States, French and English
soldiers and marines have been fight
ing the Boxers, many OF whom have
been killed. Besides the desire to pro-
tect the missionaries, there is a deeper
purpose on the part Of the great pow
ers, which propose to divide up China
among themselves. There is much
friction between Russia and Japan,
and there may be serious international
complications over the game of grab
that is now on.

terness at the result. Each Of the de-
feated candidates made speech be-
fore the convention gracefully yield
ing to the majority and pledging his
support to the ticket, while the dele
gates enthusiastically made all the
nominations unanimous.
The personnel of the ticket is splen-
did. Judge Holt, the candidate for
Governor, is one of the foremost law
yers in the State, and is one Of the most
popular men in Huntington, his home.
He is 80 years Of age. His service to
his party has been great and he will
make thorough canvass of the State
in support Of the ticket this fall. He
said to the REGISTER representative
that he proposed to visit every county
and every town in West Virginia that
he could possibly reach.
James H. Miller, the candidate for
Auditor, is from Hinton, where he is
regarded as one of the ablest business
men and most successful political
workers in that section. He will add
great strength to the ticket, as he has
much influence along the G. & 0. Rail-
road. He is lawyer.
Robert A. Armstrong, the candidate
for State Superintendent of Schools, is
regarded throughout the State as per-
haps the best-equipped man in West
Virginia for this office. Of high char
acter, unusual ability and great per-
sonal popularity, he will get ire
mendous vote. Prof. Armstrong has
been one Of the leading educators in
the West Virginia University, and the
fact that he is the object of persecution
on the part of the management of that
institution only intensifes the efforts
of his friends to vindicate him.
The other nominees are also all right,
and from beginning to end there is
not weak place in the ticket.

in this district as yet 1t is said that
Hon. VIM. G. Brown, who made the
fight four years ago, will accept the
nomination again if it is offered him

A MonOrail Line.

An experiment on large scale with
higher speed electric railway is about
to be made In England. Between Liver
pool and Manchester, which are thirty
three miles apart, a so-called "mono-
rail" line is under construction, and 1t
is expected that speeds of more than
100 miles an hour will be attained on
it. The trip, one way, is to be made
in twenty minutes, and the Roadway,
or interval between trains, is to be
ten minutes. The cars run on single
rail, and are suspended from 1t, that
is, the rail is above the cars. Each car
has two wheels, one at each end, with
small guide wheels arranged to keep
1t on the track. Tn enew line will have
no intermediate stations and no grade
crossings, and will be practically with
out curves.-Public Opinion.

Lung a Co.. large importing firm,
Kuan Foy, in his native land Of mys-

words his story OF the empress and the
statesman Is here repeated:
"Tuen, the Dowager Empress Of
China, was once a slave. Her story Is
strange. and one Of the most remark
able features of II is that Ii Hung
Chang, Chinas greatest man, was at
the same time, rough, ignorant sail

boats OF the Hun--Ho. and that to The
slave girl fell the chance OF rewarding
him for very brave deed. Strange,
indeed, that these two met by chance
while both were In obscurity, should
rise to play two such different and i'm
portant parts in what promises to be
the last scene Of the drama OF the Chi

the end.
"Tuen, being a girl child of a Man

However, her feet were not bound, and
to this fact, seemingly minor cir.

due. II her feet had been bound she
would never hav erisen from slavery &c

"A rebellion in her fathers Yamer

and though but eleven years of age che
petitioned her father to sell her as q
slave so that her brother might be
educated and her mother fed. Her
father consented and sold her to the
then viceroy Of the district. and little
Tuen passed away from her family
never to know them again until years
later her agents sought out her brother

him within the Purple Forbidden city

ENTERPRISE GONE WRONG.

the story sent by his wife. and in sore per-

the pros and cons. He could conceive OF
Norman doing one of two things in this

playing a double part. He wrote for con-
firmation of Maloys possibly biased state
ment and got it. The report was true; the
charge might not be. Then came the It'd

Norman was for the time forgotten.
Meanwhile what could Mrs. Lane do but
ask that Norman should be transferred to
the ward where Theodore was lying,
much smaller one where he might receive

MODERN MISERS.
Men Who Starve Themselves
to Accumulate Money.

There is a certain fearful fascina-
ton about the stories of the misers
of the past. The money they &C
cumulated was of no more practical
stolen and secreted by some magpie
or jackdaw. They hid it from the
sight and use of men and in silence
and secret gloated over the useless
wealth. To gather it they lived on
crusts or ofal, grudged, clothes to
cover them and fire to warm them,
lived starved lives and in not few
cases died of starvation. That was
the old-tilne miser. The modern
miser resembles this man of the past

IRON AND FEATHERS.
How Negro Changed His Idea About
Their Respective Weights.

How a Negro Changed His Idea About
Their Respective Weights.
From the St. Louis Republic.
IA pound and a pound howsumever ye1
look at er" This statement was positively
adhered to yesterday by Jerry Talbot of No.
1914 North 9th street.
Today he would doubtless declare him
self differently. Yesterday he was induced
to try the world-famous experiment of
dropping a pound of lead and a pound Of
feathers on his toes, to determine their re-
spective weights. He used iron instead of
lead, but the demonstration was just as ef-
fective. He is now at the City Hospital
with contusons on his right foot that will
require medical attention for several days
to come.
Jerry is a teamster, and yesterday he
was loading a lot of scrap iron upon his
conveyance at 9th and Biddle streets. A
friend of his happened by and engaged him
in conversation. Probably the iron which
Jerry was handling suggested the theme,
but at any rate their talk ranged into IN
argument as to the weights of various sub
stances.
They differed on several points, and Jer-
rvs friend wanted to wager that he was
correct on each of them Jerry would not
wager. whereat the other, probably as a
joke made the hackneyed proposition: It'll
heavier than a pound of feathers
Jerry replied with his assertion about q
Mound being a pound under any circum-
Stances. The friend then suggested the
practical demonstration. A mattress maker.
whose shop was close by, agreed to furnish
the feathers, and piece OF Jerry's iron
served in place OF lead.
The trial was made. Both materials were
dropped on the negro's toes. He admitted
that the iron was the heavier.

tain respects like the yellow metal. Freight
is charged, on specie, much per cent
on their value; in some instances the rate
is very high. The old catch. (which is
heavier-a pound of gold or a pound Of
feathers?" does not. therefore. apply in this
case. for freight calculations are not made
on the basis of the avoirdupois table. The
Soudanese evidently understand their busi-
ness. for their bundles are tied with a su-
perf1uity of twine: and, with their instinct
for color, they add what appears to be a
perfectly unnecessary wrapping Of gaudy
paper. heavy with gilt. The explanation Of
this is simple. for the string and the paper
both add to the weight. Are they suffi-
GENTLY civilized to put the faulty feathers
in the middle?' the writer asked. In reply
he was shown the center of bundle. where
neatly hidden from view. were several wiz
ened feathers, which no lady with proper
self-respect would care to see in her fan.
So 1t appears the willy children of the des-
ert are just wide awake as the London
fruiterer who puts all the big strawberries
on the top Of his basket. AS in strawber-
ries so In feathers, the deception does rot
pay in the long run, for this propensity Of
the Soudanese Is so well known that the
