Governor White has pardoned from
the penitentiary the past week James
Workman sent up for Is years from
Wyoming county on charge OF rape,
and Wyatt and Morgan Justus, from
Mcdowell county, for seven years on
a charge of conspiracy. The pardons
are conditioned on their good behavior.
All of the prisoners had served but a
small part Of their sentence.
The Ohio river caused good deal
of damage the first of the week at
Pittsburg, Wheeling, Parkersburg,
Huntington and other towns along its
banks. The water overfowed the
lower part Of the cities and towns and
many poor persons suffered greatly.
The Ohio River Railroad has run no
trains since last Friday. Nearly all
of the rivers and creeks in the western
part of the State were away out of
banks, and the loss to timbermen and
others will be enormous.
A terrific natural-gas explosion &C.
Cured in the Commercial Hotel at St.
Mary's w. Va, early last Monday
morning. The entire building, large
frame, was a mass of flames when the
startled citizens rushed from their
homes at the report. The building
was entirely destroyed. Sam Cum
ningham, oil driller, Rixford Pa, John
George, oil man, Butler, Pa, Harry
Robinson, tool dresser, Corning, Ohio,
and John Slater, II years old, son of
the proprietor of the hotel, lost their
lives. Several other persons were
injured.
The new city administration ofClarks-
burg, according to newspaper reports,
has instituted some reforms, for which
there has long been crying need.
Among them is that of putting prison
ers to work on the streets when they
are financially unable to pay their fines
in cash, which is proving a very pop
ular move. The other day an able bod
led transgressor positively refused to
work out the fine he could not pay, so
he was chained to an electric light pole
in the most populous square of the
city, and was left to choose between
temporary starvation and subsection.
He was guarded by a policeman and
surrounded by curious crowd, whose
scrutiny he bore in the most stolid
manner. A few hours in the snow
and slush of the wintry April day
brought him to an unwilling surren-

Hagerstown, before he was detected.

discovered the law imposed fine but

Lieutenant Alexander took him to an
isolated stable, forced him to take a
hot bath in antiseptic water and burn
his clothes. A new suit was given to

Three colored men were drowned

Three colored men were drowned
in the Potomac river near Green Spring
last Sunday. They had been employed
on the railroad works at that place.
They crossed the river in a skiff to get
a supply Of liquor at a joint on the
Maryland side, and got more than they
could safely carry, In returning they
got to rocking the boat in midstream,
when the frail craft upset and threw
them into the raging current. They
made desperate struggles to save them
selves, but the swift waters engulfed
them and all were drowned. Their
bodies were not recovered.

SENATOR MCLAURIN of South Caro-
lima has created something of sensa-
tion in political circles in the South
by a speech in which he defends him
self from the attacks made upon him
for his votes with the Republicans in
the last Congress. He not only seeks
to justify his own action, but he strong
ly advises the people Of the South to
break away from their traditional con-
servatism and fall in with the modern
ideas Of expansion and business pro-
gress. He is willing to put aside party
fealty if necessary to promote material
prosperity and advancement, and
though he does not say so in so many
words, he advises his friends to adopt
Republican methods even if they do
not endorse the name.
There is disposition on the part of
many persons to agree with Sena
tor McLaurin's views. The glitter of
personal preferment and business well
fare appeals more strongly to them
than loyalty to party and that patri-
otto sentiment which calls for sacri-
fee rather than gain.
But what shall the people of the
South be benefited if they shall gain
the whole commercial world and lose
the sweet and loyal sentiments that
have been more" dear to them than
prosperity" and which is the true and
disinterested spirit of love for the Con-
stitution and the faith of the fathers
that may before long prove to be the
anchor that shall keep this republic
from being swept into disastrous waters
by the tickle winds that sway certain
politicians first in one direction and
then in another.
Senator McLaurin does not truly
represent Southern ideas and we are
not anxious to see the ful6llment of
his desires.

THERE is only one useful purpose
that the Chesapeake & Ohio canal is
now serving, namely, that of enabling
the B. & o. Railroad to keep rival
road from carrying coal from the Cum
berland region and the West Virginia
fields to the eastern markets. The
business of carrying coal has grown
too great to permit it to be controlled
by one corporation. The canal ought
to be sold.

The English people are becoming
alarmed at the enormous cost of the
effort to deprive the Beers of their
liberties in South Africa. The British
nation has already expended the stu
pendous sum Of $775,000,000 in this
war, and the end is not yet in sight
The necessity Of borrowing an addi-
tional $3OO,OOO,OOO comes before the
people just now, and there are those
who predict that continuance of the
struggle against the war may end in
the ultimate ruin of the country.
This matter is pertinent to the
United States in view of the fact that
we have on our hands war of almost
the same sort-a struggle to control
the Philippines that made Of Spain
discredited nation.
