Hon. I'll. s. Wilson.

This gentleman, who is oandi-
date for the Democratic nomina-
ton for Congress, was in town yes
terday, on his return from the low
er end of the District. He had a
talk with number of our Demo
crats, and expressed himself as san
guine of receiving the nomination.
Mr.. Wilson is resident of Park
ersburg, and two years ago at Spen-
Ger, was before the Congressional
Convention as candidate for nom
ination, but the nomination went to
Hon. Geo. I. Neal, after spirited
and good natured contest.
We do not hesitate to say that
Mr.. Wilson is one of the best
Democrats i'll the State, and if
nominated, would be elected. He
is popular with the people in his
end of the district, with whom he
has done business for SO many
years, and to him, as much as any
man, is due the developments that
has taken place in the upper. coun-
ties of the district.
With Mr.. Wilson and Mr., Creed
Collins as the two oontending can-
didates for the Democratic nomi-
nation, the delegates will have
good material to select from, and
whoever of the two should get the
nomination will be heartily sup
ported by the other, as we'll as by
their friends.

There seems to be trouble Inn
pending in the steel trade. The
character of it, or the cause of 1t,
are not given, but there is evident
ly fear that the steel market is in
very unsatisfactory and unsettled.
condition. A dispatch yesterday
from New York says:
The steel industry again occu-
pies the earnest attention of Wall
street, where the news is current
that number of the largest plants
throughout the country will be.
closed, perhaps temporarily, and;
perhaps indefinitely. The appre-
hension is very general and there
seems to be more in it than nero
suspicion, carried over from the
recent expose of the steel situation.
at the present time seven plants of
the American Sheet Steel Com
pany, which is allied with the
Moore concerns, are closed and
will remain idle, it is officially
stated, until the various depart
ments of the new combination can
be properly systematized.

BRYAN nndLfberty.

Capt. Patrick O'Farrall, life
long Republican of Washington,
has written Senator Hoar asking
for copies of his great speech
against Imperialism. The Wash
ington Post quotes from his letter
as follows:
81 am an old.time Republican,
who fought during the late Civil
War for the principles of Wash
ington, jefferson and Lincoln. L
want your speech for the facts
therein. They show the duplicity
and treachery of VIM. Mckinley,
for whom l spent eight weeks on
the stump. Your speech shows
further that the next election will
determine whether wo shall retain
our liberty or do as Rome did, go
into the imperial business.
81 honestly believe that in order
to preserve liberty, it is essential
that the honest and manly Repub-
llCunS WHO blllI uuu0Io " IuO I|OS-
laration of Independence and the
Constitution should use all their
efforts in the next campaign to de-
feat Mckinley and the Republican
party by supporting William j..
Bryan, who, no matter how Re-
publicans may differ with his free
silver and tariff theories, yet can
agree with him on the greater and
paramount question of imperial
ism. The question is whether we
shall continue as republic or go
into the colonial business and con-
vert the Stars and Stripes into an
emblem of imperialism.
"The cry in the coming cam
paign should bo Bryan and Lib.
erty,' against Mckinley and I'm
periaI tyranny and / have every
confidence that liberty will win"

TIME LIMIT

Abolished = Preachers May

Abolished - Preachers May
Stay as Long as Wanted.
CHICAGO, May 24,-The Confer
ence voted to abolish the time linz
it on pastorates.
The minority report provided
for five year extension of the pas
torate by a three-fourths vote OF
the quarterly conference.
An amendment was offered to
mako the time limit years with
the power given to the quarter
ly conference to extend the period
three years by a majority vote.
This and the minority report were
both defeated.
Trusts ana the Republican Par
ty.
The recent Republican State
conventions all placed strong anti
trust planks into their platforms.
AS the Republican party is in con-
troll of all branches of the Federal
government, and as it has yet made
no positive move toward the re-
preston of the combinations which
is the subject of condemnation by
Republican State conventions, IL
might seem as if campaign mater
ial were being manufactured in
abundance for tho use of the oppo-
sition party.
1t is not to be supposed, how
over, that the leaders of tho Repub-
lican party are suoh poor politicians
as thus to play into the hands of
their opponents. The State con-
yentions that are adopting anti
trust resolutions are in close touch
with the administration at Wash
ington, and in all probability there
is purpose back of the procedure.
The only reasonable inference to
be drawn from the action of the
Republican State conventions in
favoring antitrust Legislation is
that the Republican leaders intend
Congress to give approval to anti
trust plans that can be made to do
service for campaign purposes.
The benefit of the move to the Re-
publican party will depend upon
the wisdom of the plan offered for
the solution of the trust problem.
