The Intelligencer believes that if

Thus does the devil of the city ring

trary, be most apt to interpret success
at the polls as endorsement of his past

Even in making this promise of re-

attempt at deception. What has the
majority in Council to do with closing

QUEEN VICTORIA.

All the world will join Great Britain
In mourning her aged sovereign, Vic
toria. Christianity has found in the
good and virtuous English queen one
of it's strongest pillars in the State and
in her own person one of it's most not
able exemplars. In her rule Queen
Victoria has ever been just and moder-
ate and aught that the world may have
to complain of during her reign of six
ty-three years has ieen due to circum
stances over which the womanly mon
arch had little or no CONTROL for, after
all, she has been of necessity but fig
urehead in the English government.
England and the world, however,
have been the better for Victoria's
reign, which in the main and especially
insofar as it bore the impress of her
own personality has been the better
for Christianity and civilization.
Wherever cruelty, oppression and
greed have dominated its policy it has
been without her will. Pre-eminently
has this been true in the matter of the
South African war which not only new
er had the sanction Of the Queen, but
Is credited with the responsibility for
her break down in health, the strain of
that cruel situation being more than
her good and motherly heart could
bear. ,'
Prince Albert Edward, the Prince Of
Wales, will ascend the throne as King
Edward VII. with the eye of the world
fixed upon him in Aeen and absorbing
interest He assumes the greatest
crown in Christendom at time when
the affairs of Great Britain would seem
to be nearing one of the most import
ant crises of English history.

The West Point military academy Is
likely to have a radical turning over
as the result of the Congressional in
vestigation. The previous farcical in
quiry by army officers shows that the
army cannot be left to purify its own
establishments and requires the steady
ing hand of the civil authority to pre-
vent it from running amuck and over
riding civil rights. The situation fur
nishes an inkling Of what may be ex-
peGed from the ascendency of mill
tarisn in our government. The people

TOUCHING UP THE EX-GOv.

The Register of Saturday contained
an interesting card from Messrs Frs
kline and Allison, of this city, anent the
contention of Mr.. Atkinson that the
compulsory school law applies to the
Independent school district of Wheel
ing, in which the rash Ex-Governor pits
his legal knowledge against that of the
leading legal talent of the State, which
has held the contrary. Messrs. Frs
kline and Allison remark:
1--WE recently declined to sign a petition
for the appointment of the Governor to
the new federal judgeship now being
created by Congress, which petition was
presented to us by the Governors former
partner. The opinion now given by the
Governor on this legal question and the
manner of giving it, but confirms us in
regard to our action
This caustic observation calls to
mind the fact that the creation Of said
new federal judgeship through the di-
vision of this State into two judicial
districts is opposed by the leading
members of the bar of West Virginia,
being recognized for what it is, a po-
litical scheme to provide places for
hungry Republican politicians at the
public expense, there being no need
whatever for such division, no call
for it on the part of the legal frAter-
nifty and no excuse for it in the exist
ing situation. That it is wholly and
solely a game of politics and may pos,
sioly result in lowering the standard
of this high court is shown in the tact
that the Hon. George w. Atkinson has
been most prominently mentioned in
connection with the new federal judge
ship and next to him Congress sman A.
G. Dayton, who probably has no great
er claim to preferment on the ground of
legal learning ability and experience.
But the political debts Of the bosses
must be paid even at the expense of
making farce Of the federal judiciary.

BOODLERS OF THE LEGISLATURE.

1t is said that the wires from Charleston
TO Wheeling were hot yesterday with APP
peals from the lobbyists down there, di-
rected to the Saloon Keepers Associa-
ton and the breweries for money to de-
feat the Laughln liquor license bill. 1t
is even reported that suggestions of
money consideration were received from
members of the Observation-Disclosures
GER.
Since the chief organ of the major
ity admits this much the Register may
be pardoned for reyerting to a situa
ton which has already been described
In these columns as beyond all prece-
dent, and in view of said admission
that the scramble for Doodle extends
beyond the familiar lobby and includes
members of the Legislature, themselves,
who shameles5ly offer for sale their
votes and influence as lawmakers, let Us
hope the Registers criticisms will not
be considered harsh or overdrawn
through partisanship.
1t is notorious among those who
know aught Of the situation that no
interest or corporation need hope to
escape this hold-up and species of
blackmail unless it shall literally
grease the palms held out by this body
with the overwhelming Republican ma
jority-the boosted special friends" of
progress. development and prosperity
and hence of the corporations And
the concern that is after favorable
legislation must equally be prepared to
pay handsomely for it, not to the State,
but to these voracious sharks, who evil
IDENTIFY and rightly suspect that they
will not have another chance to line
their pockets at the public expense
after the people shall have passed on
their present conduct, and consequent
ly are making hay while the sun
shines
We use the phrase "at the public ex-
pense" advisedly, since every interest
and every corporation thus bilked at
Charleston fully expects and intends to
get it all back and with interest out
of the pockets of the people and will
not be less greedy because the right
of extortion shall have been legally
sanctioned and paid for in advance
When the chief organ of the Repub-
lican majority admits that member
have actually offered their influence
and votes for sale oy wire in this city
to the saloon interests, we may be able
20 surmise the state Of affairs that ex-
SITS on the ground at Charleston To
say it is crying shame and disgrace
S to put it mildly.
Oh. for a touch of old time civic
virtue that characterized the member
ship of the Legislature in days gone
by when craftsmanship was graced by
simplicity and honor, ere Doodle had
become pre-eminent in politics.

Or. just four shipyards and seven

the Great Northern S. s. Co., speaking
by its President, Mr. Hill. repudiates
all need for subsidy, denies the pro-
priety Of any on the plan proposed by
this bill, says he ordered these ships
in America, because they could be built
here more cheaply than abroad; and
that if the iron and steel trusts would
let up on the price they charge Ameri-
cans for steel plates. it would help
ship building more than subsidy.
1--WE can build ships in this country"
says Mr.. Hill, las well and as cheaply
as they can be built anywhere in the
world. Now had figures within the
last year furnished from the best
builders on the Clyde ana figures from
as good builders as there are in this
country and to my utter amazement
the American figures on a single ship
were $4,000 to $1,000 900 under the
best Clyde builders and when we get
the ship subsidy that is promised see
how happy we shall be- (Laughter).
The subsidy scheme" said Mr. Hill,
sis an excellent thing if it is not abus-
ed. I believe that if we could pay a
tonnage on the actual commodities Of
certain kind based on the distance
carried, there would be some justice in
a subsidy. | analysed carefully the
first bill that was drawn and found
that out of 100000 about $500, 600
went to what is known as The Amer
lean Line, good friend of mine and
nine gentlemen. They are always very
kind to me when | am crossing
They have set apart thirty per cent
of the apportionment for the Pacific
ocean. No doubt some of my friends
thought they were serving me and in
a money sense perhaps they were, but
| would much rather see than take the
duty off the plates that are to go into
the ships when they are built"
This leaves our four friends-The
International, The Pacific Mails The
Oceanic and The New York and Cuba
Mail to pocket about ninety-eight per
cent. of the remainder that they are
not giving Mr.. Hill without thanks
from him therefore.
IV.-As to Ship Building Abroad.
