TIRE sPOILs SYSTEM on TOP

1t is a remarkable exemplifcation
of the power and extent Of the spoils
system and its strong hold on all
branches of the government that the
measure to divide West Virginia into
two judicial districts was prevented
from being rushed through the Sem
ate only by the objection of Senator
Jones, of Arkansas. Yet it is a fact
that this measure. designed simply to
furnish more offices TO hungry poll
ticians in West Virginia, is strenuous
ly opposed not only by the existing
federal judiciary, but by the leaders of
the legal fraternity in West Virginia
who recognize the Ubiquitous purpose
of the scheme and that it is not only
uncalled for by any exigency of the
judiciary but will be positive detri-
ment and incumbrance to the legal
machinery rather than an aid.
It is simply scheme to extend the

The publication in the Register Of
yesterday morning of the results of the
count in the coupon contest for ten
free scholarships in the celebrated
Scranton Correspondence Schools was
read with the liveliest interest, not
only by the actual contestants, but by
all their friends and acquaintance,
and the winners were very warmly
congratulated during the day
Of actual contestants for the prizes
there were but two dozen, but hun
dreds of relatives and personal friends
had very lively interest in the matter,
and many hundreds upon request or
out of desire to see this or that can
didate for free education win, saved
and collected coupons and thus inter
ested their friends and acquaintance
as well. The active contestants and
their friends went upon regular coll
Letting tours for coupons. in many in
stances, and when the available sources
of supplies from regular patrons of the
paper were exhausted many purchases
OF extra copies were made, for there
was an universal recognition on the
part of those striving to be among the
successful ten that the offer was one
coming to young man or woman but
once in life time and represented not
only an exceptional opportunity to &C
quire technical knowledge in fields
promising rich returns in after years,
but that to win represented the saving
of considerable amount of money, for
scholarships in these schools often
come at rather a high figure, when
books and appliances are included, as
they must be.
The contest was thus the most popu-
lar and interesting ever undertaken by
any Wheeling paper, and the returns
to the ten successful ones means not
only the mere acquiring or knowledge,
but, with proper effort and the i'm
provement of opportunities, access to
important, responsible and remunera-
tive positions in active life. The en-
ergy shown by the contestants, and
particularly by those who won the
coveted prizes, is a good augury that
they will make the most of the good
thing which has come to them through
their efforts and those of interested
persons, and that all will achieve dis
tinction in the courses to be taken up
in the Scranton schools.
