Special to the Register.
WESTON, w. Va, October 10.-The
fact that it was generally advertised
that Hon. A. B. White, the Republican
candidate for Governor, and other able
speakers in the same cause, and Hon.
Stewart W. Walker, in behalf OF DEM
ocracy, were to speak here this after
noon, raised but little enthusiasm. Two
hundred will cover the country people
who came to town. - .ry
1t would seem natural that Mr.. White
would draw the largest crowd, espec-
tally when the services of two brass
bands and the Opera House, which is
so near the main thoroughfare, were
engaged.
Mr.. Walker spoke at the Court House,
and while his crowd was not so large
as Mr.. Whites, it seemed more enthu-
siastic.
Many of the town people who went
to hear MIR. White to-day congregated
tonight to hear Judge Holt.
Mr. White seems to have recovered
from the loss of his vocal organs, at
least his voice this afternoon in two
hours speech did not seem to fail him.
Charles j. Schuck, Of Wheeling, fol-
lowed Mr.. White. Mr.. Schuck paid his
respects to the Pittsburg Post and the
Register in dramatic style, that was
amusing. He told some funny stories
that are in season now, as the frost IS
oonc;-o nbaStu1lfc tO fall
The Court House would not hold the
crowd that gathered to hear Judge Holt,
and arrangements were made to open
The Opera House. Judge Holt spoke
at Buckhannon to-day, and came here
by train, leaving Buckhannon at 8
o'clock.
Hon. Stewart Walker opened the
meeting. Nearly all the farmers who
came here to-day to hear White have
remained over to hear Judge Holt.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, October TO-
One Of the surest guages of the growth
of luxury and extravaganza in legislative
circles during the last quarter of a CEN
fury is to be found In the biennial cost of
the sessions Of the State Senate. 1t is diff
ficult to realize without comparison of
figures, the enormous strides this body has
taken in what may be called it's house,
hold expenses since. say. the session of
1872. At that session it consisted of twen-
ty-two members, one clerk. one assistant
clerk two committee clerks, two pages,
one sergeant at arms and one doorkeep-
er, with an extra assistant clerk employed
the day before the session closed on the
pay of committee clerk. AT the session
of 1899 it was made up of twenty-six mem
bers, one clerk, eight assistant clerks,
eleven committee clerks, nine pages, one
sergeant al arms, one assistant sergeant
at arms, two deorkeepers. one assistant
doorkeeper, oneN cloak room keeper, one
assistant cloak room keeper. one librarian
and one stenographer. Or the tolaf num-
Der of the regular Senatorial household
staff in 1872 was eight, while in 1899 it was
thirty eight
Prior to the present Constitution, legiS-
iatlve expenditures appear to have been
generally appropriated in bulk, so that
the detailed expenses of the Senate of
1872 cannot be readily obtained, but the
length of the sessions under consideration
was the same. each forty-five days, and
the rates of pay being assumed to have
been also the same, the cost of members
and attaches at the session of 1872 would
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1900-10-11

The difference of cost In members and
attaches between the two sessions is thus
s6,079, or deducting from each session the
mileage and per diem Of members, a mat
ter fixed by the Constitution, 1t will be
seen that the cost of attaches at the two
sessions, a matter entirely under the con-
troll of the Senate, was for 1872, $l77S, and
for 1899, T,120, an increase of S5,3f7, or
about three hundred per cent, and this
does not include extra pay allowed at the
session of 1899, and paid out of the SEN
ate's contingent fund.
The Senate of 1872 was largely Demo-
cratic, while that>of 1899 was excessively
Republican, but it would be manifestly
unjust to attribute this phenomenal in
crease to this fact. Il Is also largely due
to the universal growth Of that extrava-
gance and luxury in official life that is
now one of the most potent causes of the
spread OF the doctrine of expansion and
imperialism, and bids fair to become one
of the great sources of peril to the future
of American institutions.
1t might occur to any one rejecting on
this enormous increase in what might al
most be called the personal expenses of
the Senate, that some justification for it
Is to be found in the increased labor of
the present body Such, however. does
not appear to be the fact, the balance OF
work being found to be rather in favor of
