WORSE THAN NEW YORK.
London Declared by Members OF
Parliament TO Seriously Need Re-
forming.

LONDON, July 14.-In parliament
the week was redeemed from total
tediousness by a remarkable expose OF
Londons corruptness by Samuel
Smith (Liberal member for Lanca-
shire), and John Burns (Socilist mem
Der for Battersea). The allegations
made by these members, and Home
Secretary Ridley did not deny them,
show conditions which equal anything
discovered by the Lexow and Mazet
committees in New York-immoral
dens, Matchmaking and bribery OF the
police evidently fourishing and great
ly on the increase, especially in the
West End. Degraded criminals, de-
clared Mr.. Burns, who were cleared
cut in 1898, are re-establshing them
selves in large numbers in the metrop-
oils and he offered to show Sir Mat
thew White Ridley West End haunts
where ''the bestial form of vice of
eastern origin is taking root" He also
asserted that the West End club pro-
prietors and brothel keepers have the
police directly under their control"
Mr. Burns cited individual instances
and ended by telling the home secre-
tary if he did not stop this bribery
the evil would deepen until they saw
a state of affairs in London similar to
what had been seen in the tenderloin
of New York, where a chief inspector
had earned 10000 a year by black
mailing gambling hells and prosti
tutes"
All policemen in the West End. Mr..
Burns suggested, should be paid better,
as their present pittance made even
trifing brides terrible temptations.
The home secretary was aghast and
said he would examine into the
charges.
Mr.. Smith confined himself chiefly to
exposing public obscenities.
Many things" he declared, were
tolerated in England which would not
be allowed in America"

Special to the Register.
KEYSER, w. Va, July 15.-KeyEer
was blaze of enthusiasm and red
fire last night, the occasion being. the
spontaneous ,outpouring of all the citi-
zens of the town to welcome home the
Republican candidate for Auditor. Hon.
Arnold G. Scherr.
Yesterday afternoon at about 4
O'Clock the fact was made known that
Mr.. Scherr would arrive home on the 8
O'Clock train that evening and the
news spreading throughout the town.
A movement in which, Judging from
the immense throng assembled, il seem
ed that every citizen of the town took
part, was inaugurated to give him a
royal reception.
Upon the arrival of the train the
Keyser band, together with almost the
entire population of the town was pres
ent at the station to receive Mr.. Scherr.
The streets were Illuminated brilliant
ly with torches and red fire and an
escort of several hundred men, form

Arriving at his home, at Mr.. Scherr's
request, Frank c. Reynolds remarked
that Mr. Scherr's throat was temper

possible for him to make himself heard,
but he wished to extend his heartfelt

to read the congratulatory kilograms

KANAWHA DEMOCRATS
Met Saturday and Selected Delegates
to the County Com
ventiOn.
"GOld Democrats" Took "a Prominent
Part in the PrOceedings-An Flo
duent Address by Hon. Joseph e.
Chiiton-The Party in Splendid
Shape for the Coming Contest.

Special to the Register.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, July 15.-
The Democrats Of Kanawha county
met yesterday in their several magis-
terial districts and appointed delegates
to the county convention to be held
on the 2Sth inst. to nominate a county
ticket. One of the features of the
meeting in this city of the Charleston
district Democrats was the presence OF
the Gold Democrats and the prominent
part they took in the meeting. 1t
shows that they will vote the straight
ticket this year from Bryan down.
Even Ex-Governor Wilson, who has
been talking and writing in favor OF
the policy Of Imperialism or expansion
for the last six months, and whom the
Republicans had hoped to win over to
them, was present and declared his
loyalty to the national Democratic
ticket and platform in one of the most
vigorous, eloquent and touching
speeches that has been heard from that
brilliant Democratic leader for ten
years. Jos. g. Chiffon was called out
Charleston by his appeal to them to
stand together and nominate a good
county ticket, declaring that with a
strong ticket and a united party the
Democratic party would carry Kan
awha county. w. E. Chiffon spoke on
the same line, and recited facts to show
that Democratic victory in the coun-
ty, State and nation was inevitable.
Ex-senator Flournoy made a rousing
speech, and said the Democracy of
West Virginia were ready and anxious
to meet their opponents in the contest,
because they were confident of vic
torious result.
1t has been just ten years since the
Democrats, in 1890, carried Kanawha
county by comfortable majority
against an adverse normal majority of
about three thousand. 1t is believed
that the Democracy is in a better posi-
ton to win victory now than they
We're ten years ago.

be a Democrat after the election for
the balance of his life. He does not
desire but one more term on the SUI
preme bench. After his election this
time he can snap his fingers at the
Republican party. He can be Demo-
crat as he always was. OF course a
member of the Supreme Court is above
party dictation, as they ought to be,
and Judge Brannon will be one of the
last men to be influenced in behalf of
a party against his Democratic princi-
pies and lie long sentiments. 1t is
for this reason that Republicans all
over the State are angry, and will not
vote for Judge Brannon. They say
they would rather vote for
A straight Out Democrat.
why was it necessary" they ask, ito
nominate Democrat for the Supreme
bench, when there were hundreds of
good Republicans in the State who
would fill the position with equal abii-
ity and who had been life long Re
publicans-who needed no repentance
or conversion, and whom they had
reason to believe would not repent and
be converted to Democracy during their
term of Office, of one of them were elect
ed. The dissatisfaction over the nom
ination of Judge Brannon is universal,
and it will tend to weaken the whole
ticket.
The last name on the ticket is equal
ly Objectionable. While Mr.. Poffen-
barger is probably a genial gentleman
and all that, he is not a lawyer and no
one-not even his best friend-accuses
him of being one He is one of that
numerous class of men who have sue
ceeded by heroic effort in getting
themselves admitted to the bar and re-
ceived license to practice, but have
never been able to do much business
in the legal profession. His nomina-
ton for the Supreme bench is re-
garded as huge joke.
The personnel Of the Republican tick
ct is such as to give great encourage
ment to Democrats. If there were any
doubt in any quarter about the success
of the Democratic ticket, the Republi-
can State Convention has kindly re-
moved it.

trict Democratic Convention on
Wednesday.
Special to the Register
PARKERSBURG, w. Va, July 49,
The Fourth district Democratic Con-
gressional Convention at Huntington.
next Wednesday, will witness one of
the liyeliest contests for the nomina-
tiOn ever seen in the district. 1t will
be short, for there are but two candi-
dates for the nomination. Hon. Henry
S. Wilson. of Parkersburg, and Hon.
Greed Collins, of Pennsboro-but from
all appearances it will be very close.
The only tough proposition the con-
Yention will have to deal with, aside
from, 9making the nomination will be
the settlement of the contest in Wayne
county, where two sets of delegates
have been appointed.
Mr.. Wilson, who came within a few
votes of being nominated two years
ago and was defeated by Geo. | Neal,
after about sixteen ballots had been
taken, was alone in the race for the
nomination this year until a few
months ago when Greed Collins enter
ed the race and the contest at once
became interesting. Each claims to
have a majority of the convention and
the opinion of their friends is divided
upon the matter. 1t will take the first
ballot TO determine who will be the
nominee.
Mr.. Wilson and the delegates from
the upper end of the district and prob
ably Mr. Collins and his -elegates from
this end will go down on Tuesday.
The convention will also nominate a
candidate for district elector.

COAL Is KING.

Coal is now the power that moves
the world. 1t transports surplus
products to market, sets the fac
tory and mill wheels in motion,
turns ore into workable metals.
moves fleets and armies. In do
mestic use, it supplies heat for our
homes, cooks our food and lights
our dwellings and streets While
electricity is hailed as the coming
power, it is coal that produces
sixty per cent of the subtle fluid.
water power producing the rest.
In fact the manufacture of cleo
trlcity has only increased the con-
sumption of coal, which during
the past two years has grown SO
rapidly as to compel countries
having no coal to seek coal in
markets which they had never be-
fore patronized. All Europe until
1896 had bought coal principally
i'll England, but now looks to the
United States, where it gets as
good quality for less money. In 1896
Europe bought 100000 worth
of coal in the United States. This
year it will buy 500, 100000 worth,
and, unless conditions materially
change, will ere long purchase
twice that amount. There is a
fair prospect, in the opinion of
well informed authorities on this
subject, that coal will before 10
years form one of the chief ex-
ports of this country, thus increas-
ing the dependence of the rest of
the world on the United States.
Coal is not only king. but reigns,
its power having really no limita-
tations.
