Meeting May Not be Held This Week as
 Intended.
 The adjourned meeting of the State Baseball league directors, which is due this week, will probably not be held, owing to matters that have arisen in connection with the circuit that were not known at the time of the last meet Ing. As has been already stated, there is an excellent prospect of adding Hart ford to the circuit and perhaps Spring field, Manager Jack Chapman of the Norwich club has had conference with Secretary O'Rourke and believes, with many others, that the meeting should be further postponed until after the National league circuit is settled
 Secretary O'Rourke has taken a mail vote on the postponement, and there is no likelihood that any objection will be raised.

The increase in the use OF the tele-
graph for business purposes has been
accompanied by steady reduction in
the cost Of messages. When the first
Atlantic cable was laid the price OF =
2O-word message between London and
New York was 800, of five dollars per
word. Now the commercial rate be-
tween the two cities is 25 cents per
word. To telegraph ten words from
Chicagoto New York in 1866 cost S2,O5.
Now it costs 40 cents. Telegraphing
to distant parts of the world is still
an expensive business. The rate per
word for a message from San Fran
cisco TO Auckland. for example, is
s2.s7. From New York to Manila the
rate is $2.45. The charge is not al
wavs in ratio to the distance. The
rate from New York to South Ameri-
can or West Indian ports is nearly
two dollars per word, but in reaching
these points the messages travel twice
across the Atlantic.-Ainslee's Maga-

SATURDAYS Primaries.

The Republican county primaries Oh
Saturday brought out the unusually
heavy total vote of $500, which is a
most encouraging indication Of success
at the polls in November. 1t is trus
that the total vote is somewhat short
of that polled four years ago, but 1t is
known that many Democrats were
voted on that occasion, while this year
the election was held under the restric-
lions and safeguards OF the Australian
ballot system. The most sangaiHs
party leaders did not expect the total
vote of Saturday to 80 beyond 5'OOO
and that nearly 700 more votes were
cast is cause for extreme satisfaction.
The ticket nominated is an excep-
tionally strong one, and 1t will grow
stronger and stronger as the days so
by While some of the results were
in the nature of surprises the gentlemen
who were unsuccessful have no reason
to feel ashamed of defeat by such re-
spectacle and worthy opponents. The
campaign was peculiarly free from bit
terness, and the only heartburntngs left
will be dIssipated as soon as disappolnt-
ment wears away. The gentlemen who
were nominated have the confidence
and respect of the people, and as they
are all vote makers and hustlers, we
may expect to roll up an increased ma
jority over that Of four years ago.

Literary EnduranCe.

Chicago Tribune: There is nothing
more tickle or shorter lived than con-
temporary favoritism. There never was
a time when the market was so flooded
with books, good, bad and Indifferent,
as now, as some publishers have learn
ed to their sorrow. Authors and read
ers are alike running Wild. One histor-
Ical novel, for instance. comes out and
makes success and speedily a whole
flock of them follows. each breaking
the record Of the others. Soon the tickle
public will tire of them, and that Will
be the end of the historical novel. and
all of them speedily will be forgotten,
Meanwhile the old worthless, whose
works have been tested by time Jog
along slowly, perhaps, but surely and
steadily, with occasional REVEALS OF In
terest, which grow out OF fatigue from:
trying to keep up with contemporary
literature. Dickens and Thackeray are
gone but their works remain, and have
become standard. The. innumernble
writers of latter-day fiction are with
us making hay while the sunshine OF
ingenious advertising lasts. but 1t is
safe to say that the most of them will
not outllve their backs.

committee was notified by clerk Of

him and offered him bribes for the pur-
pose Of changing ballots In his custody

Then 1t was that the secretary OF
state and the collector Of internal reve-
nue., referred to by name by Senator
Pettus, and who were chairman and
secretary, respectively, of the Repub-
llcan state committees, sent out warn
ings and employed lawyers to save the
fruits Of the victory won by their party
at the polls.
The monstrous lnlqulties perpetrated
by that conspiracy are well known to
the people of West Virginia, and they
also know the cunning hand that di-
rected the most scandalous political
theft ever attempted in any state in
thecountry. This man, to distract atten-
ton from his own venal acts, concocted
his remarkable plea which he submitted
to the senate, asking that Senator Scott
be refused admission to that body. In
doing this he maligned honorable men,
and sought to smIrch the fair name OF
the state, whose republican form Of
government" he audaciously claims TO
have preserved, after trying every
scheme his fertile brain could devise to
destroy 1t.

marked Col, John It. McGraw for
slaughter in the coming campaign, and

The Real Conspirators.

The effort of Senator Pettus, In
speaking against Senator Scott In the
United States senate last Friday, in
seeking to impress that body with the
idea that there was regular conspIr-
acy to elect Mr.. Scott by fraudulent
practices, and that the parties to the
Conspiracy" were the governor secre.
tary OF state and attorney general o:
the state. and United States collector Of
internal revenue, and this, too, in adj
vance of the selection of Mr. Scott as
the caucus nominee Of the Republican
party, was one Of the fimsIest argu-
ments ever made In Congress. The
charge is almost too preposterous for
serious discussion. Senator Pettus, o:
course, had no personal knowledge OF
the state of affairs of which he spoke.
He was prlmed for his speech by that
emlnently INSCRIPTIONS politician, Col.
McGraw who played the game of con-
spiracy himself, and losing at It he
"welched."
The true situation of affairs was that
when the polls closed on election day in
November. 1896, the election officers at
the various voting precincts throughout
the state proceeded to count the vote
and to certify the result thereof to the
county courts OF the various counties,
and to send the ballots, sealed up as re-
quired by law, to the clerks of tha VAR
ious counties.
What did these returns disclose? They
showed that the Republicans hal the

Sunday Ban in Wheeline.

The IntellIgencer believes that the
management of the Wheeling base ball
club made mistake In ignoring public
opinion, the moral sentiment. at least,
of the community in attempting to play
bali in this city on Sunday. 1t certainly
comes within the prohibition of the
state law, and we think the managers
will find this out when the trial comes
Off to-day. There are, 1t is true, spe-
cious arguments advanced by those
who favor Sunday ball playing, which
sound plausible enough, but the strict
Interpretation Of the law skaters
them. No one has a right to disturb
or annoy people by violating the sane
tlty of the Sabbath. Such vIolators
come within the meaning of public null
sances,
1t is to be regretted that the owners
of the club have seen fit to force the
issue. as the IntellIgencer is morally
certain that this new invasion of the
rights of the Christian element of
Wheeling cannot be successful.
