Closer Relations Wanted With Us.
The leading men in the country realize
tnat. unless San Domingo can be brought
into closer relations, political, if neces-
sary, but commercial at all hazards, with
the United States, her industries are
doomed. and all steps for the develop

the country upon the lines of Gomez S

dies, gradually assmilated to form one
great insular state, must eventually pass
under the commercial control, as well as
political dominion, of the United States
Of America.
In taking this stand the partisans Of
General Gomez believe that with him at
the helm the economic problem can be
easily solved and all future revolutions
averted through some treaty of reciproci-
ty with the Americans, under which they
would guarantee a stable government to
the island in return for naval and coaling
privileges at Samana Bay and any other
available point which might be selected.

Gomez also proposes to colonize the is

lest ITS popularity spread westward into

Upon his return from Cuba some days
ago Gomez was welcomed by General Jim

Secret of Dominican Revolution

The fact of Porto Rico having been
granted free entry for her products into
the American markets-as a territory of
the United States--coupled with the pros
poets of tariff reduction upon Cuban
products. and the probable early addition
OF the Danish Isles to the possessions OF
the Washington Government in the West

Brave Colonel Chew.

Col. R. p. Chew was recent guest
at the New Willard hotel in Wash
ington. The Post of that city said
of him: {" One of the best liked citi.
zens of West Virginia, Col. r. P.
Chew, of Charles Town, is a guest of
the New Willard. Colonel Chew is
too modest to speak of his own record,
but the fact is that at the early age
of twenty he was commander of the
noted battery of artillery in the Con.
federate army. He was formerly
active in politics and was at one time
a Democratic member of the Legis-
latnre. but of late be has been too
busy in private matters to give at
tention to practical politics"

MIR. HaY 10 Lead.

Since the selection of Congress-
man Cannon, of Illinois, for the
speakership of next Congress is q
foregone conclusion, interest has
switched to the selection of min
ority leader. Congressman Hay, of
the Seventh District of Virginia,
who would have been a formidable
candidate for the Speakership had
the Democrats won, will not now be
candidate for the minority honors,
since the Republicans again control
the House. Mr.. Hay has told a
number of his friends that he would
not be, but that he will be candi-
date to succeed himself as chairman
of the Democratic caucus. 1t is more
than probable that he will succeed
himself, and that he will have no
serious opposition to overcome.

The Wincheter News Item says:
"Rev. j. G. Suddith is in town.
He has for some months past been
conducting a series of meeting in the
interest of temperance at Hamilton,
and has been rather successful. Mr..
Suddith is we'll known in this city
and left here some years ago under
trying circumstances, which, he
claims, were brought about by the
Vaccinations of his enemies. One
of Mr.. Suddith's greatest charges is
that he was incarcerated in the West
ern State Hospital when he was not
at all insane. He trusts that the
people of his home town and county
will receive him in the proper spirit
and be resents the manner in which
newspapers create sensational articles
about him, continually speaking of
him as former saloon-keeper. He
says he believes the Lord has forgiv-
en- him for that evil and he hopes
that the people will. Mr.. Suddith
attracted much notoriety here be-
cause of his emphatic public attack
upon the liquor traffic.
