GREAT CYCLONE NINSTRELS.
Theatre Monday Evening Brilliant
Program Arranged.

No one should forget that the greatest
burnt cork performance on earth will be
given in Larson's Theatre on Monday
evening. 1t is true that all of the talent
was secured in Yakima but each and
everyone of the thirty performers is
star OF the highest magnitude. So swift
are the artists in their. line of business
that they have justly christened the or
ganization the Cyclone Minstrels. There
are six end men with the latest songs and
Jokes while George Graham will act as
interlocutor. The specially performers
are good, while the vocal music will be
OF unusual excellence.
In the morning preceding the enter
tainment the members OF the troupe will
give grand parade Headed by Nagler's
Military band they will, start from the
theater at IL O'Clock trayersing Second
street to Chestnut thence to Front,
north to Yakima avenue and then east
on Yakima avenue to Second and back
to the theater. An open air, concert will
also be given in the evening Ibefore the
performance. Tickets are now on sale at

of Justice and the entrance of Tyranny.
1t means the end of the Reign of Equal
Rights and Opportunities and the be-
ginning of the reign Of Plutocracy,
Privilege and Plumber.
The issue is clearly drawn, and the
! division between the parties was never
in any national contest more clearly
drawn. On the one side all the greedy,
predatory and unscrupulousiy selfish
interests of the country are massed,
crying for another four years of ma
terial prosperity-for themselves. On
the other side are the hosts of the
plain people. the honest, industrious.
unselfish and patriotic men, who love
their country and seek only 20 keep it
for their children what it has been
until now for them-the land of liber-
ty and equal human rights, with a fair
chance for all and unfair favoritism
for none. And it is by the victory Of
the plain people now. as in every pre-
vious crisis of our history, that the
true prosperity of the country-true
because based on the everlasting moral
equities and not on purely mercenary
and material grounds-will be most
surely promoted

THE COMING OF CoCkRAy.

To-day the Democracy OF Wheeling,
Ohio county, and all the surrounding
country, on both sides Of the river. will
unite in extending a hearty and en-
thusiastic welcome to Hon. Bourke
Cochran, of New York, who has been
doing such telling work for the people
in the Middle West. and whose visit
to Wheeling has been SO anxiously
awaited.
OF Mr.. Coekran's powers as an ora
tor it is needless to talk. He is uni
versally known as one of the most elo-
quent and forceful debaters upon the
American platform. His presentation
of the Democratic case at the Grand
Opera House this evening will be a
powerful and convincing one. and his
audience will only be limited by the
capacity of the building.

ANOTHER CASE IN POINT.

A Sstersville correspondent this
morning presents parallel to the
somewhat celebrated case of Mrs. Brat
ton, unearthed a short time ago at
Moundsville. 1t will be remembered
that Mrs. Bratton was given a govern
ment position in the Postoffice De-
partment at Washington, and it was
officially alleged that she. had been
transferred from the Moundsville office,
whereas an investigation showed that
she was never employed in that Of
flee.
The Sistersville case also involves a
lady, Miss Elsie Anderson, and the de-
tails furnished by our correspondent
shows how things are manipulated as
to put strangers in office, credited to
this State, and to a particular district
or county, when, as a matter of fact,
they belong elsewhere. How many
West Virginia Republicans have thus
been deprived of offices to which they
were entitled is unknown. for there is
a dense silence upon the subject on
the part of the supporters of the admin
istration and the office holding class
1t must be extremely satisfactory to
political hustlers to work and talk and
spend money to secure party success,
and then have the beneficiary of their
efforts give out the fat places to total
strangers, often not even residents of
the State

To the Editor of the Register.
SISTERSVILLE, w. Va, Oct, %, 1900.
Sir:-In a recent issue OF the Register
mention is made of Miss Elsie An

transferred from the postoffice here
to a position in the Postoffice Depart

this office and the First Congressional
district.
The writer has made a thorough in
yestigation of the matter and finds that
this Miss Anderson came here from
Washington, d. c., on November 23rd,
1898. and Immediately went 20 work in
the possoffice here. and engaged a
room on Main street, where she re-
NAMED until February 3rd. 1899, when
she returned 10 Washington. The
Postofice Department al tnat time was
seeking TO establish free delivery here
and il was expected that 1t would begin

streets and other matters were not
complete Ii did not begin until De-
cenber 18th. Miss Anderson, IL Is al

and hasn't been since. but some ac-
ouaintances that she met here have
since visited her in Washington, where
she resides and they say that she spoke
to them OF the difficulties OF passing
the civil service examination. Ii is
also alleged. she told the people with
whom she foomed while here, that she

DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET
THE TRUTH OFT At LAST.

At last we naVe-and not through
any fault OF those public servants who
hold office at Washington-the facts,
or an interesting portion of them, con-
concerning the original design OF MIR.
Mckinley from the first to annex the
Philippine Islands by force OF arms.
That this was always The motive of the
administration has all along been per
fectly plain, but the proof was not at
hand until yesterday. when copies of
documents of the greatest public in
terest and Importance fell into the
hands OF i-adminis5trationists, and
were promptly made public.
The channel through which this in
formation comes is the Democratic
Campaign Committee of the State Of
Washington, and it has in its possess
sion a complete copy Of the official
report made by General Otis to the
War Department, for the period en-
braced in the American occupation Of
Manila up to August, 1899. and it is ac-
companied by the private and official
correspondence between the President
and the General commanding the
American forces. as well as confidential
instructions from the President to Cen
eral Otis, and from the latter to Gen
sral Bates.
These papers show beyond doubt
that forcible annexation was intend
ed from the very first, despite the
wishes of the people. that it was al
ways intended to recognize slavery and
polygamy in the Sulus, and that as a
means to an end, General Otis was
Instructed to force a quarrel with
Aguinaldo, and compel him and his
forces to leave Manila, after there had
been an alliance and military cooper
alton with him against the Spanish,
even to the extent OF handing over
sight hundred Spanish prisoners, cap
tured by American troops. to the FIJI

crsts are complete, and show the full

According to the figures given by the
Viceroy of India, a rough estimate OF
the cost OF the famine in that country
would not fall short of $500 900 900. And
this is only the first cost, for 1000. 900
people are still receiving relief, and
millions more must be helped TO re-
stock their farms and be fed until they
can reap their new crops. The famine
has been equal to devastating war;
but such a war would mean peace in
uhe contending countries for at least
a generation, whereas there is no Sc
curity that the famine will not occur
again in year or two. In fact. his
tory teaches us to expect it in less than
decade, though, perhaps. not in SO
