A Fraud Crying Fraud.

Tint blatant demagogue. Congrass-
man Lent. who with his senatorial
companion piece. Pettlgrew. was elected
to stay at home. is still crying out that
his opponent was elected by fraud. on
the sole ground that he only received
eighteen majority. When Mr. Lentz
first broke into public lie he was elect
ed to the Flfty-lfth Congress by only
forty-nire votes. Nobody howled fraud
then, and although the Republicans had
n majority OF flfty-seven in that Con-
gress Mr.. Lentz was not disturbed.
We do not see why Tompklns' plurali-
ty OF eighteen Is not as good as vas the
forty-nne Lentz received. BY the way.
It may not be centrally known, but II Is
true that Lentz was born near st.
Ciairsvllle. and received the foundation
OF his education In the high school Of
that town. This, however, Is not meant
to be construed as a reflection on ST.

The National Civic Federation which

was productive OF much good, or Mt

jects discussed. has Just Issued call
for a national conference 10 consider the
best means OF securing Cancellation and
arbitration In labor disputes. This
matter has become question of great
moment In industrial economics and has
n vital bearing on the future OF the
workingman in this country, The con-
ilict between capital and labor has, we
believe, cost the country more money
than any one war It has been engaged
In. AS the call OF the Federation well
says. strikes and lOckouts are perhaps
greater waste OF human energy, and
are responsible for n greater loss of
wealth to society Us n whole, than any
other obstructive factor connected with
modern industrialIsm."
The time has come and conditions arr
ripper than they have ever been for n
better understanding between capital
and labor. II both would thrive IN the
future agitation must cease and the
professional agItator suppressed. Nut
unl concessions should be made--labor
must concedc certain rights to capital,
and capital should seek to cultivate the
confidence of labor by the faIrest treat

afford. There Is no reason why these
two basic elements OF the wealth OF n
nation should forever be at war with
each other when one Is so dependent
on the other. Speed the day when arhi-

The Richmond Dispatch, while pro-
Tossing to disagree with Senator Vests
dlctum that the recent ELECTION dem6n-
strates the fact that Mr.. Bryan oun
never be President. virtually comedies
the truth OF the assertion. That paper
afterstatlng that I'VE need not say that
Mr.. Bryan can never be President fol-
lows up Its remarks by admitting that
1t is Clearly Of the opinion that his
friends ought not to press him for the
nomination In 1904. He would have no
difficulty in carrying Virginia, but facts
and figures concerning the election on
the 9Th so to show that he was not
strong outside of the south. and Il few
small northwestern states
That appears to us TO be delicate
and considerable southern way of say
Ing Mr.. Bryan's goose Is cooked SO far
as his future presidential aspirations
are concerned. The admonitlun that his
friends Ought not 10 press him for the
nomination In 1901" is as clearly n
whelmlng defeat should he run as IL 1t
were expressed In so many words. The
Dispatch then goes on to say:
Mr. Bryan never asked our party for
n nomination. That came to him unsolic-
lied In 1895 and again IN 1900: but he ought
hot 10 expect II to come 10 him In 1901.
AMI VIC think 1t nothing more than honest
aud fair TINT those who havo supported
him loyalty should now give him the bene-
Mt OF their views Otherwise, how could
he know what opinions are held In tho
various states?
This Is scandalous perversion OF the
facts. The nomination OF Bryan In 1896
was not an accident. 1t was the result
Of conspiracy OF the Pupulistic and
auarchistic elements in the Chicago
convention The celebrated crown of
thorns and cross Of gold speech that lift
ed the delegates OFF their fee. was n
carefully prepared bomb which was ex-
ploded at the right time to destroy the
sense and Judgment of the convention.
In other words Bryan laid his plans
sklllfully and studied the situation for
theatrical effect, and he won out with
ease.
Can the Dispatch be serious In stating
That the nomination of 1900 came to him
unsolicited. when for three years he was
continuously In the saddle, keeping him
self before the public by his well known
methods-methods that were IN exceed
ingly bad taste for presidential aspir-
ant and which demeaned the dignity OF
the Office he sought. Mr.. Bryan Is q
constitutional office seeker; he always
has been. and always will be. We dc
not know whether MIR. Bryan has I'm.
proved in his Judgment OF events AMI
their lessons, or his perspicacity, ant
that he will keep from the pit he Eel
into on November 9Th, but we do belpvt
that II he is given half a chance his In
ordinate vanity will push him into tbs
vortex In 1904. Mr.. Bryan is perennial
candidate, and he is doomed to succes
slve defeat. III other words Senator
Vest is right. He can never be Presi
dent OF the United States.

Interesting Case of a Black Cat and
Ncighboring Families Estrnnged.

This Is n tale to demonstrate that
clrcumstantial evidence is not always
good evidence. It caused rupture Of
friendly relations between two women
that was finally adjusted by the merest
accident.
But hereby hangs n tale which In
wolves the question OF circumstantIal
evidence. and that murder will out.
There are two Baltimore families In
the western section OF the city living
next door to each, other who for sea-
son did not speak as they passed by.
but are now on the most amicab,c
terms, and all this on account OF 4
black cat.
These two housewives may be dcslg-
mated as Mrs. A. and Mrs. b.. the for
MGR being the owner Of the cat In ques-
ton. by which much store was set. 1t
appears that Mrs. 3. objected to the
| frequent visits to her back yard made
by Mrs. AS cat md on one day 1t Is
alleged that she was overheard TO say
that she would poison the Intruder that
very night. It followed next morning
that the cause OF the annoyance was
discovered on the back lot MS dead as
Julius Caesar.
Now, what other Inference could Mrs.
A. draw but that Mrs. d. had put her
threat into execution? That the deed
had been done OF her next door dwelier,
and 80 she straightway accused her
ncighbor Of having committed the
crime"
This Mrs. b. vigorously denied. The
result was that all ncighborly inter-
course came abruptly to an end. So
much for circumstantial evidence.
Now what happened subsequently is
the sequel which restored friendly rela-
lions between the two families. a gen.
tlcman living In the same block Ind n

he discovered big black cat In his

| very act? A short time after this lat
ter occurrence the owner OF the canary
incidentally related TO Mrs. a. the loss
OF his pet bird and how he had slain a
black cat on n particular evening.
All doubt having been now removed
Mrs. A. lost no time in acouaintins Mrs.

A Good state to Live In.

Some months ago an eastern travelling
man who had visited almost every coun-
ty in West Virginia, remarked to the
writer: you West Ylrginians do not
realize what magnificent state you
have; yot don't seem to appreciate the
opportunities that are laid down at your
DOORS" This was. perhaps. A little
strong, but It Is true that the state Is
attracting wide attention. from investors
In. other states who see in the boundless
resources Of West Virginia the making
OF one OF the foremost states in the
Union in Industrial pre-emlnenSe.
BY the last census returnslt Is shown
that the largest Increase In population
was made outside OF the cities and
towns which indicates that the waste
places are being made glad, and the
wilderness Is being, penetrated by the
workman with the axe and the saw.
Oil Is continually spoutng up In places
from fountains whose supply seems In
) exhanstible. Mines are being opened
and railroads are fast making accessl-
Bile regions where man seldom set his
foot before. Agriculture Is keeping pace
with the march and progress of other
industrial pursuits. and every prospect
is pleasing with the future beyond the
ken OF human persplcaclty. 1t Is truly
n great state for young men To begin u
career In. TO live In and, for that matter.
to die in. Another four years Of Re-
publican rule Is assured. With that en-
enlargement to the capitalist the lnves-
tor need not hesitate TO cast his lot
with US.
A fine section of territory is Just about
to be opened up for settlement by the
opening OF the Greenbrier branch Of the
Chesapeake C Ohio railroad, from
Ronceverte to n point In, the lower Cheat
mountain region. or this the Parkers-
burg West Vlrginian says:
The country to be opened up is the
finest the sun ever shonn upon. and Is
one OF the finest garden spots on the earth.
It has any kind Of timber that can be
asked for, and It's soil for farming cannot
be excelled in this or any other state.
Its mountain streams are filed with the
finest OF fish, while the forests are inhnh-
tied with all kinds OF game. The newly
opened UP territory Will make pleasant
md profitable homes for n vast number
who are looking for bargains in tho shape
Of West Virginia real estate.
On the line between Ronceverte and
Elkjns. n distance OF about one hundred
md nifty miles. will spring up some OF
the best and most prosperous towns In
the state. This section Is full Of good in.
