IMPORTANT INVESTIGATIONS.
Into the Diseases Affecting the Fruit

The horticulturist of the Expert
ment Station of West Virginia Uni
yersity has now in progress a re-
port Of cerain Investigations relating

inquiry thus far has been confined
largely TO the northern and eastern
panhandles, where probably more
than in any other section Of the
state these conditions have prevail.

periments, some Of which have
given very gratifying results.

best known, these experiments have
been watched with great interest,

endanger the passage of the bill, is
as yet doubtful. 1t may be, but it
is more likely that some of the Re-
publicans who are talking doubt
fully about the bill can be easily
"placated" by the President, who
wishes the bill passed, and that
others can be whipped into line by
the declaration of a party caucus in
favor of the bill. Still, there is
enough uncertainty about it to cause
uneasiness among those who are
personally interested in the measure.

BRYAN TELLS
WHY HE LOST.
Believes Money, Philippine War
and Prosperity Cry Beat Him.
Abnormal Influences, for Which the
Republicans Cannot Claim Credit,
Influenced Many Voters, Says the Late
Candidate-Asks Why His Opponents
Used Such Largo Campaign Funds.

In an article on "The Election
of 1900" published in the Deem
Der number of the North American
Review, William j. Bryan gives
what he believes were the causes OF
his defeat. They were, according
to Mr.. Bryan, the free use of mon
ey, the war in the Philippines and
the cry of prosperity"
Mr.. Bryan says: "There are GER
tain Legitimate uses which may be
made of money in campaign. **"'
For all this legitiment work the Re-
publicans had plenty of money
while the Democrats had very little
The Republicans were also able to
secure transportation for all Repub-
lican voters who were away from
home. The Democrats were not in
a position to secure passes or to
pay for transportation.
at is impossible at this time to
calculate the effect of colonization
or the extent to which votes were
purchased by the direct payment of
money or by employment for polit-
ical work. There are instances
where as much as $500 was offered
to one man for his political services
for few days"
Further on Mr.. Bryan again refers
to the use of money, saying :"No
time need be wasted in the condem-
nation Of the illegitimate use of
money. But it is worth while to
consider why such large campaign
funds are used by the Republicans,
and how such funds are collected
together, with the remedy to be en-
ployed for the protection of the
public against the improper use Of
money in the election.
"Prior to 1896 the moneyed ell
ements Of the country we're divided
between the two leading parties. ~
Since 1896 the consolidation Of
wealth has gone on with a rapidity
never before known. All the trusts
had a pecuniary reason for support
ing the Republican ticket, for they
not only have enjoyed immunity
during the present Administration,
but they have every reason to ex-
pcct futher immunity in case Of
Republican success, while the Dem

John Wesley Beatty, who is In
Jail here for killing David A. Nine,
is a very penitent man now and
realizes what he has done, when it
is eternally too late. He has lost
much flesh and is worn and haggard
looking, and cannot talk to any Of
his old friends without being over
come with emotion and weeping like
a woman. Some of this show of
feeling would have been much bet
ter before the tragedy. Josh Bill
lings declared that the best time to
repent of a blunder was just before
the blunder was made, and this is
very true, and more especially in a
case like this. However, Beatty has
employed p. ]. Crogan for his attor-

support of the Administration by
the plea that the instruction must
be suppressed before any plan could
be adopted for dealing with the
Philippine question. They refused
to believe that the Republicans
contemplated an imperial policy"
Mr. Bryan says the Spanish war
and the Philippine war withdrew
many men from the labor market,
a war loan put large sum into cir
culation, and the South African
war increased the demand for our
products. These abnormal in
fluences," he says, contributed to a
temporary improvement, but the
Republicans cannot justly claim
credit for any of these things.

The brewers are after their pound
of flesh and say they are going to
have it or know the reason why.
They made a personal appeal to
Mr.. Mckinley for the reduction of
the tax on beer, but that gentleman
had no idea Of handling anything
carrying so much political dynamite,
SO he passed the question along to
the Republican members of the
House Ways and Means committee.
and they turned the brewers down.
Then the brewers announced their
intention to carry the fight on 10
the floor of Congress, and some Of
them hint at the exposure of some
campaign secrets if pledges made
to them that there should be re-
duction in the beer tax are not re-
deemed. 1t is said that a sufficient
number of Republican Senators
and Representatives gave their
personal pledges to brewers for
campaign assistance to force the
insertion of clause reducing the
beer tax in the bill that will be re-
ported from the Ways and Means
Committee, if they can be made TO
stand up and demand it of their
party associates, and this the brew
ers say they can and will do. There
may Re some lively times in Con-
gress before this bill is disposed of.

Tom Reed made his debut as a

openly, not sneakingly as so many

intended making, and it is presumed
he found out, although the public
has not yet done so with any de-
gree of accuracy.
