President Shaffer is probably not to
be blamed for his structures on the
press in his speech yesterday-since he
has been in the east where the trust
organ is in the great majority-but he
should have Disseminated in his re-
marks on this subject in this section.
There are newspapers and newspapers
and they are not all tarred with the

The Tax Commission.

The State tax commission meets at
White Sulphur tomorrow to wrestle
with the problem given them, and no.
body seems to envy the members. The
tax plan that finds most favor Is to turn
owe the real and personal property
in each county for county taxation ex-
clusively, while the State draws revenue
from franchise taxes and ad valorem
taxes on railroads. This, it is argued,
will do away with the discrepancy in
valuations among the various counties,
nov complained OF. The only thing in
the way of that system is the State
constitution, and II is plainly noticeable
that constitutions are not long allowed
to stand in the way of things now
adays, so 1t is almost an even bet that
this system will be adopted.
There is another important thing to be
done, and that is to provide a way for
the boards Of equalization to raise as
sessments that are found to be too low,
as we'll as to lower those that are too
high. The Board should be empowered
to act Upon it's own initiative, in either
raising or lowering valuations, for in
that way only will it ever be able to
really equalize the assessments

THE YOUTH OF FAMOUS FOLK
Albert GaIIatin.

Although a Swiss by birth, Albert
Gallatin is regarded as n of the
greatest of American statesmen. His
birthplace was Geneva, Switzerland,
the late of his coming into the world
being January 20, 1851. Albert's ia
Their, who died when he was only two
years old, was a merchant. His mother
dying when he was only nine years OF
age, Albert was cared for by relatives
of his father. In 1878 the boy was sent
to boarding school, and a year later he
entered the University Of Geneva,
where he especially excelled in mathe-
mates, Latin and natural philosophy.
Nine. Susanna Gallatin-Vaudenet. al
bert's grandmother, was a friend of the
landgrave of Hesse Cassel and from
him obtained for her grandson a COM
mission as lieutenant colonel of the
Hessian troops, then hired by the Eng
lish to fight the American colonists in
their struggle for liberty. Young Gal
latln declined TO accept the coulHllS-
sion saying that he would never serve
a tyrant." In opposition to the wishes
of his friends, he went to America in
1850, where he afterward made his
home. He was a member of Congress
from Pennsylvania 1795-1S01 and was
secretary of the treasury from 1S01-13.
He developed great skill in public fl
nance and succeeded in placing the tan
gled monetary affairs of the country on
a good basis. He was instrumental in
establishing the committee IN ways
and means and assisted in negotiating
the treaty of Client in 1874. He was
minister to France 1868 and minister
to England 1857. He wrote a number
of valuable chronological and political
treaties. He died at Astoria, N. Y,
August IL, 1S49.

The St. Louis Republic believes that

The st. Louis Republic believes that
present high prices of farm products
will continue until next year. No
country in the world has enough sur
plus breadstuffs to bring down prices
in this country. On the contrary,
wheat, the most important interna-
tional breadstuff, will probably be ex-
ported to Europe in large quantities,
estimates placing the amount available
for export at about 300. 0 0 90 bushels.
Perhaps this total will be lowered
through an increased demand at home.
Che prosperous condition of industry
up to date viii mitigate to a consider
able degree the effect of the drouth-
for outside of the iron and steel tie-up
industry in general is still prosperous.
'In the middle west where the dry
weather has done the most harm,
says a western contemporary, there
will be no need of importation. There
is a surplus OF wheat. There is plenty
of fodder. Vegetables may be scarce,
but in this respect the whole country
suffers. 1t is hardly probable that con-
ditions will grow worse during the lat
ter part of this month. Late garden
truck is being raised. 1t is highly m
probable that there will be a contin-
uanee of drought in any part OF the
country. The prospect is infinitely
better than a month ago. There is less
of uncertainty"

Freer for Congress-.

Attorney General Freer, now rusti-
eating at Harrisville, informed this cor
respondent shortly before he left the
city hat he was going to get into the
congressional fight as soon as the wea-
tner got a little cooler. There are sew
eral fellows up in that section who
think they are in the running, but when
Freer gets under Roadway they will be
made to look like a lot OF selling plat
tiers In a stake race. Freer will make
the going, and he will make it hard for
the others.
1t is peculiar what a following the at
torney general has. Surely no man ever
did more. or did it ~oftener, to lose friends
than he has. but somehow they seem
to stick to him

ANALGAMATED's DEMONSTRATION

~ WI n " va
Yesterday probably witnessed the
greatest labor demonstration ever heid
in this industrial communicated II
was confined to but a single line OF IN
dustry.
The spectacle forcibly presented the
magnitude. especially in this vicinity'oi
the present great dispute between caplal
and labor, and was caleulatd TO open
the eyes of thinking men as to the pos
slble. consequences of the stoppage OF this
great industry, which is the backbone
OF this community and especially OF our
ne,ghbors on both sides of the river.
With these thousands of brawny
breadwinners idle and bringing in moth
ing for the support of the other and still
more numerous thousands dependent
upon them, the situation assumes a very
serious aspect not only to the directly
interested individual. but to the COM
munity at large. which is thus cut off
from a weekly circulation of tens OF
thousands Of dollars upon which its
business largely depends.
The trust can stand it. 1t is not
worried about the butcher, the baker and
the groceryman. and. as it Is able to
keep its stock up to a fair level in Wall
street, it is losing nothing but the profits
of about one-third of its production,
cut off by the strike. and will doubtless
~.SShYs to pay dividends on its i'm
mense capital as usual. 1t is a differ
ent proposition, however. for the strik-
ers, who have no fat pocketbooks to fall
back upon, and for the community in
general. which is largely dependent
upon their earnings.
Tt is a serious condition which con
fronts us. and one which we believe
President Shaffer realizes and is pre-
pared to do all in his power to terminate
compromise. This has been the line of
his efforts at a settlement.
That the local lodges of the Amalga-
mated Association in this neighborhood
on both sides of the river have a keen
appreciation OF these facts and of the
gravity of the situation in general, was
further evidenced in yesterdays dem
onstration. which was especially note
worthy for the exceptional order and
quiet maintained from start to finish
throughout the day-although it was
apo ~ tho n-ao+Orr r+bor,oo- Iyro. laII

jury found the defendant guilty. John
Baker and Jacob Henderson were each
fined IS and costs for assault and bat
terry. Dora Kimbal was fined $40 and
