Wastefnl and Extravagant.

In the expenditure of the money
wrung from the people by the tax gath
erers. the Republican party has been
wasteful and extravaganza So prodi-
gal have they been, indeed, that the
appropriations for. the fiscal years end
ing September 30, 1899, and September
80, 1900, respectively, exceed the appro-
prtaions for the fiscal years ending
September 30, 1893, and September 80,
1894, by 5000, 100000, an increase OF
more tnan 40 per cent in six years.
The legitimate increase on account OF
increase in population could not have
been more than 10 per cent, or $780,
10000. leaving $3.50, 10000 that can be
charged to no account but that Of ex-
travagance. The people are paying
$225,OO0.0O a year more for Republican
than they would be called on to pay for
Democratic government. The increase
is found to be in all departments Of
the government, showing that the ten
dency to waste is not confined to one
Republican ofhce-ho1der, OF a few, but
is general throughout the party.
Governors Civil Contingent Fund.
! Up to the time when G. w. Atkinson
was made Governor the appropriation
for the Governors civil contingent
fund was $4,000 for each year, and
out of that he had to pay charges for
the extradition of criminals from 9TH
er States. For 1899 and 1900 the ap-
preparation made was $1,000 fol each
year. and in addition the sum Of ST.
600 was appropriated for each year to
pay for the extradition Of criminals,
making the appropriation for the two
years $4,000. as against 81, 600 for two
years OF Democratic administration.
Special attention is called to this item
of increase for the reason that the
civil contingent fund e entirely unde1

Infamous Advice.

AS another instance of the disgrace
ful means employed by the Republic
cans in the effort to perpetuate them
selves in power, the advice given
number of colored voters who appealed
to the Governor and Secretary OF State
to have their duty made plain Is cited.
AT a meeting which took place in the
executive office at the State Capitol
during the summer Of 1899, both tA1,
Governor and the Secretary Of state
-ltW Wiz IS also chairman of the RepubM-
can executive committee) advised their
colored friends to accept brides Il of
fered by Democrats, and to commit per-
jury for the sake of getting them, de-
claring that it would be all right if
uney then voted the Republican ticket.
What riot of crime has this Repub-
ncan administration brought about,
when bribery and perjury are justified
by high officials. and the men who
thus speak are still admitted to the So
ciety of decent people, and gain rather
than lose standing in the councils OF
their party.
Spirit of Jefferson. [volume] (Charles Town, Va. [W. Va.]) 1844-1948, 1900-08-14

-Four years ago the Democratic par
ty, after giving the State a quarter of
a century of wise, able ana honest adj
ministration, met defeat at the polls,
and the whole machinery of the State
government was placed in the hands
of the Republicans. The causes lead
ing up to this change were various.
A general spirit of discomfort, brought
about by the financial crisis which fol-
lowed the administration of President
Harrison, pervaded many circles all
over the country, and brought about
the feeling that change might in some
way be beneficial. The people had for
Eotten the shameful record of Repub-
ucanism in West Virginia, or else
thought the Republicans of the present
day were more worthy of trust than
were those of '65 to III. Working upon
these feelings and making the most
binding promises of honesty and fair
ness, a sentiment was brought about
which, aided by the stupendous frauds
at the polls, enabled the Republicans
to elect the first administration it had
elected in the State since 1868.
Again State election is APP
preaching, and again the two par
ties stand face to face before the
people, inviting their trust and asking
their SURFACES. This time, however,
the Republicans cannot base their
claims for support upon promises
easily broken, but must stand or fall
by the record which for the last four
years they have been writing in the at
fairs of the. State. And against this rec
ord of four years the Democratic par
ty placed lis record of % years, and
asks the honest voter to examine both
and choose fairly between the two.
Having stood the test of the most
searching examination throughout nu-
merous campaigns, making up the his
tory Of the States progress and pros
perity for more than generation
when every act was open to the closest
scrutiny, until it is as familiar to the
voter as the story of his own bust
ness, the record of the Democratic
party needs no discussion here, and
we turn to the acts and deeds of the
party that has been dominant for the
last four years to find if i. has worth
lily discharged the obligations which
it undertook with the people, and II
it is worthy to be continued in theil
confidence and perpetuated in power.

The Fayette County Case.

In Fayette county the anti-ring Re-
publicans. knowing full well the dan
ger of allowing the ring to have entire
control of the ballo. boxes, went to
circuit judge and secured writ Of in
junction to prevent the destruction Of
the ballots pending satisfactory count.
Notwithstanding which precautions.
however, the ring succeeded in count
ing out Moss, colored, candidate for as
SCISSOR, and all the other colored men
on the ticket.
With these things set out plainly be-
fore their eyes. showing the absolute
peridy of the Republican leaders Of
the State in everything they under
take, we cannot believe it possible that
the people will longer trust them to
manage the government.

The Transsiberian railroad is very
closely guarded, the management feel
ing personally responsible for the peo-
pie they carry on their trains. The
road is divided into sections of one
verst, or five-eighths Of a mile. In a
neat little log house. usually in a gar
den, live the guard and his people. The
average family is a wife and five tow
headed children. The houses were
built by the company and evidently
with a view to meeting the demands
Of increasing families. The guard or a
member of his family must patrol his
section night and day. He steps to the
side of the track as the train ap-
proaches and after it has passed steps
back into the middle Of the track. holds
a small green flag in the air. at night a
lantern. and stands like a statue until
the train has entered the next section.
Several guards do duty in the heavy
curves. and frequently they are only a
few hundred feet apart.
Much Of the track p~atrolling is done
by women, who have proved fully as
reliable as the men. The women are
nearly always barefooted. and as they
stand on the track holding the flag
aloft. a Siberian breeze toying with
their short skirts. they ARE fine sub
jects for a sculptor after a unique mod
