Master of The situation.

Parkersburg Sentinel
The retention of DR.. Stathers as SUI
perintendent of the asylum for the In
sane at Weston would be in perfect
keeping with the eternal unfitness of
things under the present administra-
ton. 1t seems impossible that the
Board of Directors would re-elect him
OF allow him to continue as Superin-
tendent by their failure to choose his
successor. However, as the Board
found him not guilty of the charges
against him, which were put through
the farce of a trial, it is not much of
a strain on the mind to conclude that
he may be left master of the situation,
either by reelection, of by the failure
of the Board to elect any one in his
place.

Secretary Long states as the basis of
his delay in sending in any recommend
ations for promotion in connection with
the battle of Santiago, that the system
is unjust to many good officers, whom
it must relatively set back Of course
it is plain that every promotion out of
the regular order must neceS sarily be
proportionate setback for all not so
promoted. This is inevitable, but is it
valid argument against special pro-
motions for gallantry? In fact, is not
the very object of such promotion to
place upon the beneficiary a mark of
distinction above his fellows? The
real secret of Longs delay in the San
tiago case is doubtless, as charged, be-
cause Congress will decline to recog-
nize Sampson, the department pet,
as worthy of the highest honors.

THE VIRGINIA DEBT MENACE.

THE VIRGINIA DEBT MENACE.
In another column this morning the
Register publishes an article from an
unimpeachable source in answer to a
recent perfunctory denial by the ring
organ of Wheeling that the
secret policy of the ring
is to ultimately settle upon
the taxpayers of the State the millions
of the debt of Virginia now represented
by the Virginia Deferred Certificates.
These certificates have long been a
speculative foot ball in Wall street and
were recently gathered in at mere
nominal cost by shrewd speculative
syndicate which has ever since been
scheming to have the Legislature of
West Virginia recognize this worthless
paper as valid claim against this
State for its face value-in the neigh
borhood of s20,O00,OO0 AS it is pure
speculation, of course whatever they
can realize will be clear proft-less
the cost of lobbying the scheme
through the Legislature. Hence, of
course, the schemers are open to any
compromise arrangement. Whether
they realize the full s15,OOO,OO0 or $780,
100000, or but $1,000000, it will all be
so much clear gain-"just like finding
money for the Wall street syndicate.
The ring organ, the Intelligencer,
which has for many years advocated
this proposed outrage as openly as it
dared, attempts to clear the ring by
declaring that Democrats were connect
ed with the scheme in the last Legisla-
ture. While it would be strange. in
deed. if there were not isolated in
stances of Democrats in the last Legis-
lature. who were attracted by the gor-
geous bait offered by the corruptionists
for it has not been claim
ed, so far as we know,
that Democrats are other than
human-these Democrats, who may
have acted under a Misrepresentation,
soon dropped the scheme when the pur-
pose of the ring and its Wall street
hackers became clear, and refused to
have anything further TO do with it.
And it is fact that it was owing sole
~ to the persistent efforts of the Dem
ocratic leaders that the plot was de-
feated finally.
But it is not our intention to go into
the details of this matter here. The
legislative history of the scheme is
thoroughly reviewed in detail in the
article to which we have already re-
ferred, whose historical accuracy We
can vouch for and which we commend
TO the careful study of every taxpayer
in the State, regardless of party-for
this is not a party question so far as
the people of West Virginia are con-
cerned, but simple question of finan-
cial preservation.

Fourteen months had elapsed since

shiny morning Lady Rhysworth took
her book and called to the nurse tC
bring little Kathleen to her favorite
nook under noble cedar. The Squire
very often came over to see his daugh-
ter and to smoke his Cigar under the
cedar-bough, while Dolores read the
newspaper to him and his little grand
daughter played at his knees; but or
that morning it was Lola de Ferras
who had ridden over. She had not
slept well, she said, and fancied that
the air of Deeping Hurst would do her
good
On this fair morning Lola had look
ed more thoughtful and watched
Dolores with more keenness than

GOLD OF THE RAND.

At time when all eyes are on south
Africa a few particulars of the mineral
wealth which brought outlanders to
the Transvaal will prove of interest.
Wonderful, indeed, are these great
"Witwatersrand gold fields of the
south African republic. The Dutch
word 'Witwatersrand" means literally
white water range" and the strip OF
territory a few hundred miles long and
few miles in width to which it is ap-
piled was but a few years ago consld-
cred a nearly worthless ridge, useful
only for the pasturage of cattle and
sheep, and for even this comparatively
valueless. In 1888, however, gold was
discovered, and in 1884 the value of the
gold production was 100000. 1t in
creased with startling rapidity, the
production in 1888 being about 6 ,0O0,-
900; that of 1890 G2,0OO,O00; 1892 over
$4,000, 900; 1895, over 98,00O000, and
1897, and 1885, about ell, 900, in each
year.
This wonderful development attract
in the hope of realizing quick fortunes.
Development however, showed that the
mines could only be successfully
worked by the use of costly machinery,
and while they have been extremely
productive where machinery has been
used, they were not of such character
as to make hand or placer mining prof
liable, as was the case in California.
The gold production in the Rand since
1884 has been over G60,000,000, and
careful surveys of the field by the use
of drills and other processes of experts
show beyond question that the lin
sight probably amounts to hundreds
of millions sterling, while the large
number of mines which have been To-
Gated in adjacent territory, particularly
in parts of Rhodesia, give promise of
additional supplies, so that it seems
probable that south Africa will for
many years continue to be, as it now is,
the largest gold-producing section of
the world.
Recent discoveries lead to the belief
that these wonderfully rich mines are
the long-lost gold of Ophir," from
which Solomon obtained his supplies,
making "a navy of ships in Eziongeber,
which is opposite Eloth, on the shore of
the Red Sea, in the land Of Edom; and
Hiram sent in the navy his servants,
shipmen that had knowledge of the
sea, with the servants OF Solomon; and
they came to Ophir and fetched from
thence gold, and brought it to King
Solomon Commercial Intelligence.

direction at least a dozen more were
moving Among the leaders of the
home-bound group was boat which
seemed to be ttacking. The skipper,
young woman, was plainly ratified.
She levied her strength on one side
first and then on the other until the
boat made what quartermaster
would call snakes tracks. Everybody
else stopped rowing. The navigators
kept on into the maelstrom of craft
Just at this moment park boatman,
with a party, came stroking Justify in
hafling distance. He saw the feminine
shippers confusion and rowed to the
rescue. The woman became aware of
his approach and began to splash fran
tically in an effort to get out of the
way. By this time there was block
akin to one on Fulton street. The
boatman came nearer and with the
air of a rescuer shouted:
Pull on your starboard oar
ma ami"
That was the last straw. The be-
wildered woman could not have told a
starboard oar from a main topmast
staysail, and with a little scream she
pulled on both oars at once and ran
plump into the bank. Then the pro-
cession moved on. The fair stroke

Lola thoroughly enjoyed her visit to
Deeping Hurst; and perhaps what she
enjoyed most was having the oppor-
tunity of talking to Lady Rhysworth
about Sir Karl. She reveled in it. She
liked to watch the lovely face as she
recounted all the different interviews
she had had with him, and all what
she was pleased to call his protesta-
tions to her Lady Rhysworth listened
in silence; the time was coming when
she would know all.
