THE WORST DEFEAT YET.

In the annals of the British army
Majuba Hill no longer stands alone.
1t is overshadowed by Spion Kop.
Fifteen hundred dead, with wounded
and prisoners yet to hear from. tells
the tale of British defeat.
Gen. Warren rushed his gallant sol
diers into a veritable slaughter-house.
His division was caught like a rat in
a trap, and those that escaped did so
only by fleeing for their lives and
leaving everything else behind.
1t was a rich haul for the willy Beers
and a defeat that will shake the Brit
ish Empire to its foundations.
1T leaves Ladysmith farther from
relief than it was a month ago and
the British inworse shape than ever.
Bulled has been forced to retreat across
Tugela and there he will remain bot
tied up for some time to come.
1t looks as if Great Britain, on whose
mighty empire the sun never sets, was
whipped to a ~standstill by the tiniest
government in the world.

The assumption by the friends of
Hon. N. B. Scott that all that is neces-
sary to secure an election of an Uni
ted States Senator is the adoption of
a simple resolution u~nseating lawfully
chosen representatives of one party,
and the seating of men opposed to
them politically in their stead, is so
utterly vicious in conception and
practice as to meet with the unquali-
fed condemnation of every good citi-
zen. To establish such a precedent
in the Scott case would be to open the
doors to unlimited political outrage in
every State in the Union, and would
completely nullify the will of the peo-
pie as intended to be expressed when
voting for members of the Legislature.
1t cannot be that the Senate of the
United States will open this door, even

WASHINGTON, D. c., January 2S.-
The reports of yesterdays proceedings
before the Senate Committee on Privi-
leges and Elections, published in to-
days papers, contained the first full
account of the Scott-McGraw contest
case which has been published in this
city. National interest has been al
most Immediately revealed on the
points at issue. From the remarks of
leading men of both parties tonight
it is gathered that little surprise
would now be excited If the unconsti-
tutional action of the West Virginia
Legislature, on the part of extreme Re-
publican partisans, resulting in the
claimed election of Scott, would cause
the present contest case to rank in evil
notoriety with that of Quay, of Penn
s~ylvania.
Among Democrats of prominence but
one sentiment was expressed, and that
was one of
Extreme Satisfaction.
1t is realized that whatever the verdict
of the Senate committee and after
wards the Senate may be the result of
the complete exposure of Republican
machine methods in the State cannot
but cause revulsion of feeling on the
part of the better element of the party
in the State. From the present out
look the case bids fair to play a by
no neal inconspicuous part in the
coming national campaign.
Mr.. Bryan, who is to-day in Wash
ington, sent early this morning for Mr..
MeGraw. They were together the
greater part of the forenoon.
While Mr.. McGraw could say moth
ing about what happened during that
time, he authorized tonight for the
first time since the case against Scott
has been before the Senate committee
an interview e~nunciating his position
in the case. This he dictated for the
Register, and it may be considered
authoritative He said:
Il began this fight as soon as the
president of the joint assembly of the
Legislature of the State OF West vir-
ginia arbitrarily declared that forty
eight votes cast for n. B. Scott consti-
tutsd a majority Of the ninety-seven
csnstitutionally elected members OF the
West Virginia Legislature, and

doubtless be a formidable candidate be-
fore the next State Democratic convention
for the g-ubernatorial nomination. There
is no denying the fact that Mr.. Edmis-
ton's boom for Governor is increasing and
growing stronger all the time. Many of
the leading papers of the State regard him
as the most available candidate that can
be nominated and refer to him in a manner
that seems to make it certain that he will
be a strong factor in the convention that
will select Governor Atkinsonss successor.
Mr.. Edmiston is indeed a strong guberna-
torial possibility. and a gentleman whom
the Democrats of Lewis county would be
truly glad to see honored with the nomi-
nation.

MARIETTA, o., January 2s.-At

shot his brother-in-law, Wesley
Springer, to death in cold blood.
The report OF a revolver attracted
neighbors to Springer's barn, where
he was found with his brains oozing
from a hole in his forehead, and Little
coolly standing over him, with the pis-
toll in his hand. Little made no at

PLANTATION. He simply found Springer
at work in the barn and killed him
without a word. Both men were
young and highly respected. and had
families. To all appearances they had
always been the best of friends. 1t is
claimed that Little had been queer

SENATOR ELKINS I'M THE VICE
PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION.

Our esteemed contemporary, Editor
Presley Morris. of the Parkersburg
Journal, comments upon recent re-
marks of the Register anent the Vice
Presidential bee in Mr.. Elkins's bon
net, thus:
"The Wheeling Register is trying not
only to belittle Senator Elkins in the dis
cussion of his name in connection with the
Republican nomination for Vice President,
but ridicules the office as well. 1t Tugs
into an article in its columns this morning,
matters in connection with West Virginia
politics not legitimately connected with
the other question at all. 1t seems strange
that the Register, edited with ability as it
is, can not at any time separate any dis
cussion of anything from the vile person.

However. the Register heartily
agrees that the nomination Of MI.

ticket would advertise" the State. It
would, indeed. It would advertise West
Virginia to the extent of barrels of
printers ink and miles of newspaper
space. And no n is willing to con-
tribute greater effort to secure Sena-
tor Elkins's nomination at the Phil

if it exist, may be overcome if Mr..

given to Scott were cast by State Senator's
who had, by their acceptance of commits
sions in the volunteer army, vacated their
seats in the Legislature.
This is a strong point made by the con-
testants. The Judiciary Committee of the
House of Representatives held that Gen.
Wheeler, by accepting a commission in the
army, had vacated his seat. No matter
what turn the report of the Elections Com
mittee may take, the influence OF Senator
Elkins which is more potent than that of
any individual Senator, may be sufficient
to prevent the Senate from turning out
Scott"
AS remarked above, this appears to
state the case fairly and concisely.
And so Elkins is to ave the day!
This means that Scott has 40 standing
either in law or in fact, but that might
and pure, unadulterated craftsmanship
are to be evoked against right. The
people of West Virginia will watch
the subsequent proceedings with
greater interest than ever before, and
will, in their political future, be gov

unfair artiice and unfair means to
