INSTRUMENTATION PLATFORM.

The Republican platform declares
that the prosperity of the country
depends upon the victory of the Re-
publican party.
The currency plank is a straight
out declaration for the gold standard
with an added clause denouncing
the project of free silver coinage ex-
cept by international agreement.
The protective tariff is praised as
one of the twin pillars of prosperity,
but the usefulness or reciprocity
under certain conditions is recog-
nized
Trusts are to be condemned when
they restrict trade or affect prices,
but the right of capital to combine
is affirmed.
Imperialism is briefly touched.
The idea is that expansion was forced
on the nation. The future of our
Az" POSSSooiOuo 10 not ClCdTlN out
lined. Home rule is to be instituted,
in some degree, where possible.
A reduction of war tax is prom
Used, and declarations are made fa-
voring an interoceanic canal. The
civil service regulations are to be
extended to the colonies.
The Boer- British war is noticed
with an explanation of our non
interference and hope that the
outcome will be honorable to both
sides.
Our participation in the Chinese
open-door movement is approved as
a matter of business. Another
clause calls for the protection of
American citizens and their rights.
A new executive department is
favored. Under it will be the con
sular system. More strict immigra.
ton laws and other labor reforms
are demanded, as well as legislation
TO restore our merchant marine.
The early admission of Oklahoma,
Mexico and Arizona to Statehood is
advocated.

the least of them is the extraordinary
extravaganza of the government
under the Mckinley administration.
In the language of Representative
Richardson, of Tennessee, the able
Democratic leader of the House and
Chairman of the Democratic Con
gressional Campaign Committee,
"The cost of running this govern
ment has been $500, 900, 600 more
annually for the last three years than
it was before the war with Spain
was fought. 1t is serious question
whether this vast increase is fully
warranted. Was the war with
Spain worth 5000, 900, 600 to the
American people' If the war
wasn't worth 5000, 900, 900, il is for
the Republican party to explain why
our expenditures should not be
materially reduced" That is
straight talk and strictly true. If
the people wish to continue reckless
and extravaganza expenditure just
because taxation produces. the
money, they will continue the Re
publican party in power. But if
they wish the government admins
tered on the same economical sys-
TEN which rules in every we'll
conducted business establishment,
they will turn the government over
to the Democratic party, which
stands for re;renchment in public
expenditures. This issue is not
likely to be lost sight of.
West Virginia argus. [volume] (Kingwood, W. Va.) 1877-1946, 1900-06-28

the surplus of labor's earnings.
Justice demands the union of
labor and capital ON the basis Of so
per cent of the profit to each. Let
us see IL justice and common sense
obtain in this matter As matter
of fact, capital unites with capital
in order to curtail expenses and the
result is distinct saving and a
consequent increase of capital.
Not satisfied with this however,
capital seeks by bribery and cor
ruption, carried even to the Supreme
Judiciary of our land to prevent
labor from the same right of uniting
claimed by capital, thereby precipi-
tating strikes, riots, bloodshed,
crime aud eventually even its own
destruction. The laborer alone is
refused the right to protect himself
and the means employed to stifle
his efforts emanates from the
Federal Judiciary in the form of
Injunctions. Labor must in self
preservation, unite and control that
which it has to sell-labor.
The Cincinnati strike was the
occasion of the grandest concession
from capital to labor ever in the his
tory of the world. The Cincinnati
Street R'y CO., through its Presi-
dent, acknowledged its striking en-
ployes to be partners in the corpo-
ration and in our judgment that
utterance will prove to have been
the grandest of the wonderful roth
Century.
In the foregoing notes | have tried
to give some of the ideas advanced
by Dr. Bartlett and other labor
leaders l have talked with, and
trust you will find space for them in
some of your future issues.

About as shameless a proceeding
as ever occurred was the attempt OF
the Republican Congressional Com
mitlee to assess the employees Of
Congress for one half Of the extra
months pay voted to them. To
cap the climax, when Representa-
tive OYerstreet secretary OF the
committee, was asked about H.. he
denied all knowledge on the sub
Jcct but added, cynioally, that the
employees we're not under civil
service rules. In other words, he
warned them that they could be
bounced if they did not put up, as
required.

POST-OFFICE ROBBED.

The Terra Alta post office was
broken into and robbed early last
Saturday morning. The burglars
effected an entrance by a rear win
dow and blew the safe all to pieces
with nitro glycerine, which they put
of while a long freight train was
passing, IN order to drown the noise
of the explosion. It seems to have
been the work of experts, as they
bored into the safe with fine tools
and completely wrecked it by the
explosion. They secured about 500
in money, some stamps and lot of
notes and valuable papers belonging
TO Postmaster Glover. The robbery
was reported to the Government.
and officials have been working on
it since, but no arrests yet nor no
good clues to the parties.

DIR. BOYERs RESIGNATION.

Following is the real reason why
Dr. S. J.. Boyers resigned as Presi-
dent of West Virginia Conference
Seminary, given in his own Lam
guage
cit is a self evident fact that in
order to secure the highest success
in our educational institutions, it is
needful for the President to have
the hearty support of faculty, board
of trustees, and friends of said
schools, but the President of the
West Virginia Conference Seminary
has not had such support the past
two years on the contrary he has
been criticised, and antagonized
from the very day he arrived in
Buckhannon, and by a faction, too,
that ought to have been among his
best friends. 1t has been my en-
deavor since coming here, to do my
whole duty toward the Seminary,
conscientiously as in the sight of
God, but now / feel it duty to
myself and family to resign the
Presidency Of the Seminary and
do so because of the disloyalty and
antagonism to my administration on
account Of two Of the old ,,,o,,, 49,
of the faculty supported by three
members OF the board of trustees.
which antagonism has poisoned the
minds of some Of the students
against the President and resulted
IN rebellion on several occasions,
and greatly disturbed the good
order and progress Of the school.
and even threatened to disrupt IT,"

The Republican organs are now
announcing "peace in the Philip
pines" just as the Democratic
papers declared they would when
the national campaign opened. AS
a matter of fact, there is almost as
much war there as at any time since
the beginning, and it will continue
indefinitely, but the orders from
Mark Hanna are to lose sight of
the Philippine war now till after the
election and say nothing about it,
except to swear that it is all over.
In the meantime a lot more troops
are on the way to Manila, and 9th
ers are ordered to get ready to 20
there. The war in China has de-
tracted attention from the Philip
pines, and Hanna's maxim Gin
words, not guns, about It is, "The
least said the better" for US till after
