Will Keep lis Seat In Spite OF
Petitions.
Because Ne lisa Republican ana They
Want Hin.


wAsMNcroS. Nov. r7.-There
has been = lively debate In the
Senate on the numerous petitions
from all over the country scot to
that body. protesting against seat
ing Of Reed Smoot, the Mormon
Senator from Utah. Senator Hoar
claimed that petitions we're ont Of
order as the question vas I judicial
one for the Committee on Privileges
and Elections. and II was a. wrong
to petition the Committee as Il was
to petition the Sumpreme Court of
the United States. Senator Dubois
of Idaho, took issue with this state
ment and declared that the petitions
we're entitled TO the serious consid-
Grafton of the Senate As they repre-
sented moral thought of the coun-
try. As there Is little hope of prov
ing Senator Smoot polyeamist.
ineligible to q seat in the Senate be-
cause heis an apostle Of the Nor
nom Church, which claims authori.
~ to control its members In civil a.
we'll as religious affairs. and that
he should be expelled for giving his
highest allegiance to a Government
other than that of the Republic Of
the United States. The petitions
are signed principally by women's
and religious organizations. The
Daughters of the Revolution and
the w. c. r. u. are especially &C
tive in opposition to the Mormon
Senator. Elk Secretary Carlisle Is
counsel for petitioners and will make
the leading argument before the
Senate Committee on Privileges
and Elections. There Is not the
slightest chance OF the Senator be-
ing forced to give up his seat.

A great exhibit of the agricultural
and horticultural resources Of the
State will be made at the St. Louis
Worlds Fair next year. AT the re-
quest OF the West Virginia Commits.
sion, the State Board of Agriculture
has taken charge of the collection
and installation of the exhibits.
Three thousand dollars will be ex-
pended in the work, and for This
sum 1t is thought West Virginia will
secure representation along these
lines that will compare favorably
with that of larger States.
AT meeting of the State Board
of Agriculture the request of the
Worlds Fair Commission that the
board take charge of the work was
acted upon favorably and the cam
paign has been inaugurated. All
the members of the board are
enthusiastic, and determined that
the State shall be well Represented at
the big show in St. Louis.
Especially in the line of horticul.
ture Il is anticipated the State will
make a big showing. The growth
OF the fruit culture during the past
10 years, particularly in the eastern
Pan Handle, has been tremendous,
and West Virginia apples, peaches.
pears and small fruits command the
highest prices in The eastern markets.
The quality of West Virginia fruits
is even better that CALIFORNIA;, and
the future OF the fruit culture OF the
State is one of exceeding bright
ness.

Mr.. Rayner told story during
the Maryland campaign which he
says was told him by President
Cleveland himself, and is vouched
for as true. He said that during
Mr.. Cleveland's second administra-
ton he received a letter from a
man, entirely unknown to him, ask
ing for an appointment as consul
at some southern port in the South
OF Europe and giving as his reason
that his wife was in delicate health
and the doctors had recommended
that climate for her. Mr.. Cleveland
did not answer the letter for over
a year, but one day the man re-
ceived letter from him rendering
the appointment as consul to little
place--"Spiizenburg." Mr.. Ray
ner called it--away up on the north
ern coast of Norway. Two days
sfterward Mr.. Cleveland got this
letter: "Dear Sir-Your favor re.
ceiyed rendering me the consul
ship at Spitxenburg, on the north
ern coast Of Norway. You will
remember that made application
year ago for consulship in the
southern part Of Europe, for the
benefit of my wife's health. Since
that time my beloved wife has de !.
parted this life. She has gone to
heaven and you may go 20 hell"

With sober deiiberation. which Is IN

ness OF President Roosevelt in the affair.
the Democratic senators have decided to
wait for fuller information before they
make party issue out OF the actions of
the Administration In recognizing the de

revolution was even known OF az the

patronixing letter TO, Senator Morgan asking
him 10 renounce his opposition 10 the

the letter was a breach of diplomatic

addsesses Senator Morgan as the minister

the Columbian representative at Washing

Department against the action OF the

from asserting the national authority over
the isthmus As the population OF Columbia
Is about four million and that OF Panama
only about 100000 the small republic would
not last long Ifit were no, for the protection
Of the United States. The new minister OF
foreign affairs on the Isthmus recognizes
this fscs and says that the notification 10
sosois from Washington Is equivalent TO
lorbidding that government from making
war on Panama. In fact. as an Officer OF

SUGAR TRUST VS. rHl PEOPLE.

1t is too early to predict what the
big fights will be in this Congress.
but the fight on the Cuban reciproci-
ty proposition is going to be bit
ter one. There will not be as many
republican recalcitrants in this Con-
gress as there was in the last on
that proposition, for the reason,
that the Sugar Trust has bought out
the beet sugar interests and that has
closed the mouths of many republic
cans who otherwise would be oppos-
ed to Cuban reciprocity. There
are some, however, who still hold
out against it. and they will line up
with the democrats and fight it un-
less they will allow the democratic
amendment to 60 through removing
the differential from refined sugar.
The democrats are perfectly willing
to give Cuba all the reciprocity she
asks for or give her free trade with
this country, provided they can re-
move the differential from refined
sugar which will give the consumers
of this country chance. This is
exactly what the Sugar Trust does
not want. With reciprocity with
Cuba on raw sugar to the extent OF
twenty-five per cent, reduction on
the present tariff, and retaining the
differential on refined sugar, the
Trust makes not less than eight mill
lions year out of the game. That
is the milk in the cocoanut. 1t is a
straight fight between the people
and the Sugar Trust. Watch the
game.
