THE FEDERAL DISTRICT DIVISION.

The imposition of dividing this State
into two federal districts and estab-
fishing an additional federal court,
simply a scheme TO multiply the Off
ces and is absolutely without other ex
cuse whatever, is we'll set forth by our
esteemed contemporary the Wayne
News when Gen. Golf was United
States District Attorney, also when w.
III. H. Flick held that Office twenty
years ago, each Of them did all the
work pertaining to the government
business in the Federal Court All
that time there was an average of 500
cases ON the docket Now the average
is about 1870 and the District Attorney
has four assistants to help him. Five
men are now being paid to do less than
one-fourth the work that one man for
merly did when the best ability in the
State held the Office. But not salts
of officers, Congress has now doubled
the number of courts and This will call
for two sets of officers. When the new
court and its District Attorneys get in
full operation there will then be ten
men paid to do one-fourth the work
that Golf and Flick each did by them
selves"
But" adds Editor Mansfield with a
pardonable tinge of bitterness, the
people wanted a change and voted for
it. They goc it IN the way of multi
plying offices for jack-leg politicians

CARRY THEIR OWN COMMENT.

The New York World presents the
following interesting array OF figures:
For the year 1896 the appropriation
for the navy was Tin round numbers)
$27,006,000. In 1898, the year of the
Spanish war, it was s5S,0OO,O 900. Last
year it was s55,oOo,oOO. This year the
bill as reported to the House calls for
$77,O0O,000, with authorization for ad-
ditional naval construction which in
Guided in the bill, as it should be.
would swell the total to nearly $780,
100000. The entire ordinary expendi
lures of the government twelve years
ago were less than 100000, O0O."
These figures, relating to but one
branch of the military arm of the gov
eminent, carry their own comment or
the costliness of Imperialism.

JOHN MARSHALL DAY.

In these times of imperialistic ten
dency when Plutocracy is king, and
the administration at Washington find
ing the restraints of the Constitution
irksome, boldly overrides that insuru-
ment, it is timely, indeed that popular
attention and interest should be drawn
to the life and eminent public services
of one who was as much to the Con-
stitution probably as its trainers since
he was a pioneer in the Interpretation
of it's provisions and in the establish
ment of them as fixed law.
John Marshall, for a third of a
century Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court Of the United States, exerted an
influence over that great tribunal
since exercised by no other and his
hand more than any other has been
conspicuous in settling the principles
of constitutional government.
1t is most fitting that the centennial
OF the induction into Office of this
greatest of American magistrates
should come thus early in the
new century, and at a time when there
is peculiarly strong tendency to over
ride fundamental American law and
precedent by those in authority, and

THE GERRYMANDER SCHEME.

Says our neghbor the Intelligencer:
Il. G. Brock, of Moundsville, has
brought to the attention of members
of the Legislature his plan for the re-
districting of the State into new Con-
gressional and Senatorial districts.
His Congressional lineup is good geo.
graphically and equalizes population,
but it gives the First and Third dis
tricts exceedingly large Republican
majorities, and rather small majorities
in the Second, Fourth and Fifth"
Hence, although this measure is
good geographically and equalizes
population according to the law, it
can not he considered by this Repub-
lican Legislature because it gives the
Republican party only rather small
majorities in the Second, Fourth and
Fifth" Congressional districts, and it
is we'll known that the bosses at Char
lesion demand sure thing all along
the line and no chance anywhere for
the Democrats that can be avoided by
a judicious carving of the geography
of the districts.
The political cormorants know what
they want, which is everything in
sight, and they don't propose to allow
such little thing as the law to stand
in the way.

The country is iminently threatened
with an extra session Of Congress,
called to enact Philippines legislation.
Under present circumstances, however,
an extra session for such purpose would
be likely to run into the next regular
session without accomplishing any
thing. The government of the Philip
pines is too weighty subject involv-
ing too much to admit of it's settlement
without thorough canvass of the sit
uation and complete understanding Of
the same. At present Congress is en-
tirely in the dark as to existing con-
ditions in the Philippines, thanks to
Mr.. McKinley's system of rigid mill

G. o. p. sham and Hypocrisy.

Parkersburg Sentinel.
The Republicans OF the Legislature
have announced in open session that they
will not permit any investigation OF the
State offices, or the State institutions,
and moreover that the fee system shall
not be disturbed mo rogue Ger felt thu
halter draw with good opinion OF the
law" is a saying that is appropriate by
inference.
We are not discussing the fee system.
It's virtues or its iniquities, but II is worth
while to recall the sayings. the speeches.
the platforms, the pledges and promises
which the Republicans made OF their pur-
pose to abolish this horrid crime against
the rights and pocketbooks OF the people
If the voters would only give them a
chance. Their preachers preached against
the fee system, their speakers spoke
against 1t. their platforms declared
against it, their newspapers printed
against IT, II was declared to be the AL
pha and Omega OF wrong. corruption and
official dishonesty-while the Democrats
We're in power in the State. The language
failed, became expressionless. when tho
Republicans undertook to characterize
the degree Of crime that upheld the fee
system. That was before they became
fee takers themselves. The whlrligig Of
political revolutions has put them In pos
session Of the fee fed offices and the rev.
olution in politics does not approach tho
revolution Of their opinions concerning
the holiness and business OF fees. Tho
bigger they are the more righteous they
esteem them. And so dearly are they be-
loved since they became possessed OF
them that the Republicans have becoms
the unblushing champions OF fees and
the more extravsgant they are the more
they defend them. Such is the sham and
hypocrisy of politicians.

The new English king was touched

The new English king was touched
by a cabled message of sympathy from
the little American jockey, Johnny
Reiff, to whom he sent a kind ac-
acknowledgements In it King Edward
began: My Dear Little Johnny"
and signed himself, "Your true friend
and comrade in the old days" Par
ticular attention is called to the last
four words of this message. The old
free and easy, horse-racing days of the
sporty and jolly Prince of Wales are
no more. To His Gracious Majesty
King Edward VII. they are a thing of
the past, forever buried. To hold that
the new monarch of the greatest earth
ly kingdom thinks of them without a
sigh is to believe him more than hui
man.

THE SHIP SUBSIDY INIQUITY.

In another column will be found an
especially interesting article by Gen.
Hazard Stevens, of Boston, on the sub
ject of the ship subsidy bill so eagerly
pushed by Senator Hanna and other
plutocrats, who will be its chief bene-
ficiaries.
Government bounties have always
been regarded as the worst form OF
protection, and one warranted only by
extraordinary needs of, or benefits to,
the country at large. The proposed
bill cannot be justified on either
grounds. The shipyards of the coun-
try, built up by the big naval con-
tracts they have been enjoying dur
ing the last ten years, and aided by the
cheapest materials in the world, are
prosperous growing and already COM
peting with foreign shipyards and so
is American shipping. The proposed
subsidy would interfere with this
wholesome, natural growth, and by
leading our shipbuilders and shipmas-
tiers to rely upon government bounty,
would paralyze their self reliance, en-
terprise and their Independent efforts,
and work infinite harm and no good
whatever.
No provisions at all are made di
rectly to increase foreign trade, pro-
vide auxiliary naval vessels, or in
crease the number and efficiency of
American seamen, which are the OBJ
jects so effusively and periodically set
forth in the title and preamble. Pay
ment Of ton-mile sub5id to the great
corporations, which are pushing the
measure, are required directly enough,
but next to nothing else. Indeed they
will be actually released from exist
ing requirements by accepting sub
sidy. The American sailor is cynicaIly
sacrificed.
The dangers of the measure should
arrest the attention of every patriotic
citizen.
1t is the entering wedge for great
er raids upon the treasury, for a gil
gantic shipping trust which could place
the whole country under tribute, for
creating shipbuilding and steel trusts
which would absorb the entire bounty
without return to the country, and
without advancing the protested OBJ
jects of the bill in the slightest degree.

His guilt was not learned until after 10 o'clock fhis morning, when John Cody and James Ray, who had been identi- fled by different witnesses us being two of the men who were wanted, turned states evidence and branded Hart as the murderer.
 Cody and Ray, who are tramps, claim to have known Hart, who is a smart, well dressed fellow, but.twO days. 1t is believed he is desperate crook wanted somewhere for serious OHense, ana thls iact ieu mn to ihur- der the officer who attempted to arrest him.
 An excited throug of citizens crowded about the courthouse and jail all fore noon, and threats of lynching were made. It is probable these would have been carried out, but the murdere; was removed from he county jail to the territorial penitentiary while near ly the entire population was attending the funeral of the murdered man this afternoon.
