A West Virginia Crime.

The fact brought out in the inves-
tigation of the shooting of the West
Virginia colored coal miners revealed
brutality that is appalling.
The coal company secured an order
for the arrest of number of miners,
and very unpopular marshal, named
Cunningham, was sent to take them
into custody. The miners said they
would not be arrested by a disreput-
able like Cunningham.
The sequel proves the brutality of
this man.
Gathering lot of rough characters
Cunningham went to the cabins of the
miners, in the night, and shot them
through the windows. There was no
warming, no command to surrender
themselves. Men, women and child
rem we're shot indiscriminately. Cab
in after cabin was visited, and in every
cabin we're left the dead or dying.
THIS WASIN WEST VIRGINIA,
MIND YOU, NOT IN RUSSIA.
OF course Cunningham is to be in
dicted. OF course. And of course he
will escape punishment. He was only
a tool in the hands of corporation.
And of course the corporation was
not responsible for the rash and muir
derous action of Cunningham. OF
course not.

Uncle Sans Commerce.

The treasury bureau of statistics
recently sent out some figures which
show that the new department Of
commerce will have plenty to do. Our
total international commerce has
grown from s2,ooo,o 100000 in 1850 to
800, 900, OOO,O in 1902. During the
same time population has increased
from 100000 to 100000. Foreign
commerce has advanced from sl74, 00O,-
900, in round numbers, to 5000, 900, 900.
Where we had 9,O21 miles of railroad
in 1850 we now have POL, 1899. Wealth
was estimated at 81 ,135, $50, 900 in 1850.
Now we are rich enough to show s94,
300, O0o,O 900 Of value, taking the census
of 1900. In 1850 savings banks depos-
its were over S43, 100000. In 1901
they were s2,957, o94, $780, Minneapolis

Twenty Billions Of Free Trade.

Much more is said about our foreign
than about our internal commerce.
Yetthe treasury department. estimates
the value of our internal commerce at
about twenty billions, which is equal
to the entire international commerce
of the world.
Trade between the states doubled in
yearly value between 1890 and lsOo-a
much more rapid rate of increase than
shown by our foreign commerce in the
same period. But then commerce be-
tween the states is free, as between
the forty-five commonwealth of tn
Union, thanks to the constitution,
commerce can never be restricted in
its growth by any kind of tariff.
The prodigious prosperity os these
United States is bottomed on its vast
internal commerce, whose cornerstone

The Boy From the Farm.

At the recent Farmers Institute
held at Riceville, Attorney B. n.
Hendricks delivered the following
sensible remarks on 1.-THE boy from
the farm.
He said that during his recollection
the little country territory of James
town had produced three editors who
were caring for the literary desires Of
the people; four bankers, who were
looking after your financial wants; five
doctors, who were looking after your
physical welfare; eleven teachers, who
were looking after your educational
welfare; four ministers, who were
looking after your spiritual welfare;
and seven lawyers, who were indus
triously looking out for themselves
In addition to this, thirty-four prom
inent business men have come from
this small territory in this short time
He pictured the terrible pace at which
we are now living and predicted
that it would grow still faster. II
keep up with this pace it was neces
sary to have thorough preparation. Il
requires men of brain and nerve to d.
business now. He urged the farmer
to prepare their boys for life. SCI
that they had healthy bodies, pure
minds and high ideals. Give the boy
one-half the attention that you d.
your blooded stock. Counsel your boy
and give them the benefit of your ez
perience. What we need is minister
who can make plain the way and tn
great truths of the,ruture, doctors VIII
will prevent sickness and lawyers VIII
will interpret the law so plainly as t
prevent lawsuits.

times, but the expenses Of the govern

Pluckin9 the Philippines

1t appears that although the estab-
lishment of civil government in the
Philippines was celebrated in Manila
by Americans on the 4th'of July last
with great pomp and enthusiasm, the
alleged civil governor Of the archipel-
ago is still reporting to the secretary
of war in Washington.
His last report, cabled last Tuesday,
conveys the information that no less
than three political bodies the mu
nicipal board of Manila, the advisory
board and the Philippine commission
have joined in granting an electric
light and power franchise in the city
of Manila to Charles NJ. Swift of De-
troit, who represents two American
electrical companies besides himself.
One can only conjecture why 1T
it should be necessary for three politi-
oal bodies to unite in granting the
franchise. Can it be that the govern
ment in the Philippines and Manila
is so loosely constructed that it is
necessary for lot of bodies to concur
in granting a franchise in order to
make sure that it will pass muster in
the courts?
Governor Taft cables that by the
terms of the franchise tirst-class fares
will be six cents, second class five
cents and six-ride tickets twenty-four
cents. This, too, needs explanation
1t is a reasonable conjecture that
the cent meant is the hundreth part
of the Philippine peso authorized by
our late congress, and therefore worth
only half as much as our cent. but we
cannot be sure of that.
The rates would be quite high
enough upon the assumption that it is
the Philippine centrtwo for one OF
ours. Manila is comparatively small
and compact. The runs would be less
than half as long as they are in Chica'
go and the fares ought not to be hall
as high. We may be sure there is
plenty of money in the franchise for
the American corporations concerned.
Governor Taft further cables that
"the Philippine commission is much
gratitied with the transaction as the
beginning of a new epoch in the Phi.
lippines in the investment of large
American capital and is convinced the
franchise will be beneficial to both
people and investors"
One would hardly expect the govern
or to cable at public expense what
amounts to confession that a repub-
lican administration paid 10000, 900
for such poor title as Spain could give
to the Philippines paid s2O 900, 900 OF
money contributed by American tax
payers to the national treasury TO
public purposes-in order that Amer
lean advent1rers and trusts might ex
ploit the archipelago for their private
profit.
1t has cost not less than $500, 000, 00(
to'carry out the program to date. Il
has taken good while for the fruit tx
ripen besides costing enormously To-
the cultivation, but the harvest has be

new epoch" of exploitation they admi

him was signed up. He will build the

ter Of testimony against him is said to
be such that it will have little or no
effect. General Wood may have been
promoted over several hundred other
officers, as is claimed, but what have
the other officers ever done to deserve

believe in promoting a man for the
simple reason that he has been draw

has achieved great things? When they
do, they will doubtless unanimously
