Senator Carter, of Montana,

appointed by the President a mem
Der of the St. Louis Exposition at a
salary of S., 900 per year, as a re-
ward for his long winded speech in
talking the River and Harbor Bill
to death. He talked thirteen hours
against it at the end of the session
to keep it from passing and then
the Democratic Senator'S and some
of the Republicans saw the trick
and how they were sold and betray-
ed but it was good for them. Ger
tain ones of the opposition to the
plans and schemes of the Admins
tration had been quoted and bought
off by the sop of an appropriation
for some river or harbor in their
district and after being led to be-
lieye they would get it and thus
either kept quiet or induced to vote
for Administration measures were
not only sold out at the last moment
but held up to public ridicule and
censure by Carter as a tool for Nc
Kinley and now he gets a good deal
more than thirty pieces of silver for
doing it and will likely be paid off
in gold although he represents a
silver state.

The death of ex-President Har-
rison is mourned by the whole coun-
try as he was good citizen and a
true patriot. A brave and gallant
soldier and a statesman to be proud
OF. With splendid home, a young
and beautiful wife and a lovely
little daughter, it was pity to be
called away from life and love to
the narrow confines of dark and
cherries grave and the uncertainty
of the hereafter.

The committee in charge of pro-
curing and erecting a monument to
the Soldiers of Preston county in
Court House Square, Kingwood,
have talked some of purchasing a
bronze monument instead of a gran
lite one. We hope however tina,
they will not made such a mistake
just because an old soldier comrade
is agent for bronze monuments.
Everybody knows that bronze will
not last like the granite and the
Soldiers of Preston deserve the very
best that can be procured in honor
OF their memory and we hope that
no fake monument will be palmed
of on them. We understand from
the committee that there is but little
difference in the price and that il
will only cost two or three hundred
dollars more to procure a granite
monument that will last for gener-
atoms and be the pride of the
county, while the bronze will only
look we'll for few years and then
become scare-crow and monu.
ment to the mistake made in DUR
chasing it. By all means let Us
have a splendid granite monument
If II does cost little more.

IGNORANCE OR ENVY.

The success of Bryan's paper
"The Commoner" worries some OF
the Republican papers into bad
attacks of insomnia and even down
right lying. For instance the Jour
nal of this place has been trying
several times to say something smart
about it and last week published a
straight out falsehood, either
through ignorance or envy, one or
the other or both. 1t stated that
Bryan was in New York City trying
to get some advertisements for his
paper from some of the big trust
companies. All the daily papers
Republican and all that gave an ac-
count of his business in New York,
stated that he was there to inspect
the mechanical outfits of some of
the big metropolitan papers and
purchase large press for his own
paper. On our fourth page we give
an interview held with him there
which was published in most of the
daily papers and this was clipped
from a Republican paper. IA a
matter of fact "The Commoner''
has so far refused to publish an
advertisement of any kind and
turned down propositions that came
in voluntarily from several big COM
panies. Among them big soap
trust that offered "The Commoner"
IS, 200 in cash for inserting their
ad one year. Another trust CON-
pany offered $40, 600 to get their
ad in Bryan's paper, but were re-
fused. These facts have all been
published in the papers and should
be known to the editor of the Jour
nal, who should either confess his
lying and repent or else acknowledge
his ignorance and read the papers
hereafter.

through Washington this week, on
his way home from New York,
where he went to &c. pointers for
the betterment of his newspaper
plant. He declined to be inter.
viewed on politics, but said of the
late ex-President Harrison "rHe
was always respected by his polit-
ical opponents as a clean, conscien.
tious and able statesman. Those
who differed from him could criti-
icise his policies, but they could
not attack his motives. His con
duct after retiring from Office was
such as to strengthen his hold upon
public esteem. The death of such
a man is distinct loss to the
country"

WASHINGTON LETTER.
THE PRESIDENT TRYING TO DE.
FEAT THE NICARAGUA BILL.
The Cuban Situation Not Satisfactory

IRON our Regular Correspondent.
WAsHINcToN, March 10, 1901
Mr.. Mckinley has squally times
ahead on the Isthmian canal ques-
ton. The patronage he has at his
disposal is keeping Republican
Senators and Representatives from
publicly talking now, but that will
not hold good long. He is accused
of having acted in bad faith, in
order to prevent the Senate passing
the Nicaragua Canal bill, by with
holding semi official knowledge he
had before the adjournment of
Congress that the British govern
ment had decided to reject the
amended Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
And worse yet, he is accused of
standing in with the ring that is try
ing to unload the Panama Canal on
this government. The last accusa-
ton seems hard to believe, put cir
cumstantial evidence is certainly in
its favor. Whatever may have been
his object-preventing the passing of
the Nicaragua Canal bill is the only
logical one-he did withhold until the
present week the rejection of the
treaty from the public. The rejec-
ton was not officially handed to
Secretary Hay by the British Ambas-
sador until early in the present
week, but Secretary Hay admits
that the administration knew of it
before Congress adjourned. Mr..
McKinley's future troubles are not
likely to be lessened by his having
instructed Secretary Hay, who was
SO completely bamboozled by Lord
Pauncetote in the old treaty, to
open negotiations for a new one.
1t is among the probabilities that
the Isthmian canal question will
split rhe Republican party in the
near future, paobably during the
next session of Congress.

Some idea of the progress of
American invention, which is such

TIT
1t is evident that the administra-
ton isn't altogether satisfied with
the reports o. tn. situation in Cuba,
sent to Washington by Gen. Wood
and other administration agents,
which differ so radically from re.
ports sent by competent and repu-
table correspondents of American
newspapers. In order to get another
view of the Cuban situation, Mr..
Mckinley has sent Senator Proctor
as his personal and confidential
representative to see what he can
find out about the intentions of the
Cubans. That Senator Proctor's
trip was made unexpectedly by him
was shown by the fact that he had
called a meeting of the sub commit
tee of the Senate Military Commit
tee, of which he is chairman,
charged with the duty of investigat-
ing the alleged connection of 1t.
Col. Heistand and a number of
prominent War Department Off
Gals with the Philippine hemp
scandal, for this week, and that he
left Washington without notifying
the other members of the committee
of his change of plans. After it was
learned that Senator Proctor had
gone to Cuba, Senator Hawley was
made chairman of the sub committee
and the investigation, which already
shows the earmarks of a whitewash,
was started.
