AS remarkable as has been the stride
Of West Virginia in the development of
her coal resources 1t may be said to
have Just begun. Hardly a, day passes
without chronlcllng the purchase of
large tracts of coal lands, and this fact
is quite interesting taken in connection
with the assertion of the Pittsburgh
correspondent Of the New York Coal
Trade Journal, who says: There is no
longer doubt that the money that is
being so extensively invested in coal
lands in western Pennsylvania and n
large area Of West Virginia is English
capital.
The reasons given for such heavy in
Yestments in coal lands is said to be be-
cause Of u recognition Of the fact that
nenceforth the coal Of the United States
Is going to be more potential factor in
the trade OF South America on both
coasts, and at all international cOaling
ports and stations. Behind It all Is the
fact that Investment costs arc much
lower here than abroad. that mining
Operations are much less expensive. and
that the coal Is equally efficient for all
purposes, while shipping rates to sea-
board are Tess, distance being consider

More Trouble for Bryan.

Many who supported Bryan In 1895
realize tbs futllIty OF running the
standing candidate this year. Although
Bryan carried Wyoming, Governor
Richards, Of that state, says that he has
not the slightest chance this year, at
trlbuting the change in pubic santl-
ment to the ge:eral prosperity which
has exposed the heresies OF the Chicago
platform.
Governor Pennoyer, of Oregon, is
more savage in his opinions, holding
Bryan responsible for the passage OF
the sound money financial bill In the
present Congress. Had he not artful-
ly captured the nomination four years
ago with his carefully prepared speech,"
he remarks, "either Bland, Teller. or
Stevenson would probably have been
nominated and elected. Bryan defeat
ed himself and his party by his volu-
blllty, and the party,s defeat then per-
mIts a gold-standard law now. In all
time only one man has been endowed
with sufficient power to defeat the cne-
my with Jaw bone"
This is really unkind. We gather
from Mr.. Pennoycr's rather caustlc con-
clusIon tina: he would have US believe
that Mr.. Bryan has talked too much.
OF all the things charged against the
Nebraskan this accusation is apparent
ly the most unjust
But there are other troubles for Bry-
an. Coming from his implement on
the Pacific coast he encounters OPPOSE
ton in the south in the person of the
editor Of the Atlanta Journal, who Bit
terly condemns the antI-expansIon
views Of the perennial candidate. He
believes that IL the national Democratic
convention opposes openly the eypan.
sion policy of the Mckinley admlnistra-
ton It will loosen Its hold on more than
one southern state. He is confident
that the thoughtful men ofsthe south
hold this same opinion. because. aside
from all questions of patriotism or NOR
ais, the material interests Of the south
demand that we retain the territory
ceded US by Spain,
All the same Bryan will be the nomI-
nee of the Kansas City convention. He
can't be stopped.

Up to Judge jackson.

Parkersburg Journal: There has new
err been a decision in this state as to
whether slot machine is a gambling
device, and Judge j. NJ. Jackson, of the
criminal court, finds himself in a posi-
ton where he must virtually give an
opinion on that question. When all Of
the evidence was in in the case Of
Mansfield & schmit, indicted for keep
ing gambling device in the form of
slot machine, at which money was
lost and won. Attorney Hutchinson, for
the defense, demurred to the evil
dence. Mr.. Laird, for the prosecution,
Joined In the demurrer.
The effect of this is virtually that the
defense admits the testimony of the
state to be true, but leaves the matter
to the court to be construed. claiming
the machines to be not unlawful con-
trivances. The prosecution Joining
takes the admission as having proved
its case. but claims that the machine is
gambling device and Its operation and
maintenance is contrary to law. This
caused special verdict to the effect
that II the law Is against the defense,
then II is guilty as charged. and II not,
1t has been charged wrongfully.
Thus 1t Is that the construction Of
the law Is with the court. The argu-
ment will be by briefs, and the opinion
is to be handed down on Saturday.
