HIS HOLINESS Plus X.

From The Wheeling Register.
AS predicted would be the case il
the followers of the leading candi-
dates did not soon get together, a
dark horse, or a cardinal not
prominently considered as candi-
date has been chosen as successor
to the late Leo XIII.
The new Pope, however, as
Cardinal Sarto, the Patriarch of
Venice, was by no means obscure.
He has just passed his 68th mile
stone on the journey of life and
probably the fact of his age as much
as anything else kept hun from
being prominent candidate, as he
has been one of the most highly
esteemed members of the Roman
college of Cardinals.
What effect his choice will have
upon the relations of the Vatican
and the Italian throne remains to
be seen. 1t is thought it will be
conducive to harmony, since Cardi-
nal Sarto as Patriarch of Venice,
although the Pope's choice, was
agreeable to the Italian government
and was, indeed, personal favorite
of King Humbert, who claimed the
right TO fill the Patriarchate.
From what is known of the new
pontiff, he is worthy successor to
the gentle Leo. Broad minded,
liberal in his views and beloved by
his people, his high character united
with most gracious and kindly
disposition promise to make him
equally beloved and revered in his
enlarged sphere as head of the great
Catholic Church.

GIBBONS GIVEN CREDIT FOR
SARTO'S ELECTION.

From The Wheeling Intelligencer.
Word has been received from
Rome that it is matter of talk in
high ecclesiastical circles that cardi-
nal Gibbons was largely responsible
for the election of Cardinal Sarto
as Pope. The American prelate is
credited with having practically
formed Walton of foreign cardi-
nails to which it is believed the
defeat of Rampolla is due. His
reason was that he feared Rampolla,
If elected, would pursue a narrow,
pro-Italian policy, which would not
be conductive to the best interests
of the church, particularly in
America.
The new pope is known to be
man of liberal ideas, though a
devout churchman, who will fight if
necessary for what is due the great
organization OF which he is now the
head. He is said to be well con-
versant with the affairs of the church
in America, and to lean towards
that element in it which is represent
ed by Cardinal Gibbons and
Archbishop Ireland. It's believed
here that under the new regime
Cardinal Gibbons will be com
handing figure in the councils of
the church, particularly in so far as
they touch on American affairs. 1t
is further believed that all the first
consistcry held by Plus x there will
be at least one more American
cardinal named.

Many Trestles.

In the two and one-half miles beyond
Mason,own that the NJ. & X. is graded the
road crosses Decker's Creek seven times. In
one place. less than hundred yards in
length, there are three treslles everyone of
which is over 20 feet in height. These first
three irestles are completed aud gangs of
carpenters are working upon the other four.
The laying of the track is delayed by big
Gu, just above Masontown. The cut is
enormous, excavations having been in pro-
gress all this year. The big cut and the
many trestles necessitated by the straightness
OF the road. For two miles and half il is

The longer the new immigration
law, enacted at last session of Con
gress, is in operation the more APP
parent becomes the fact that Sena-
tors Elkins and Gallinger, in their
endeavors to protect their railway
associates, managed to seriously in
jure the measure and to greatly fa-
cilitate the importation Of the
cheapest and most undesirable class
Of European labor. 1t has Just been
discovered that the wording OF the
bill relieves the steamship compan-
les and sailing masters from the OBJ
legation heretofore imposed on them
Of having there sailing lists vised by
American Consuls and paying fee
Of s for every sheet passed. This
precaution was a most wise one and
frequently resulted In preventing the
importation of contract labor, i'm.
migration from infected oisticls,
etc. and moreover added consider
ably to the income Of the already
underpaid and neglected Consuls.
II defects in the bill continue to de
velope as time goes on il will doubt
less become necessary for Congress
to pass supplementary measure,
and when that is done there is little
doubt but that the attempt to place
an educational qualification in the
way Of illiterate immigrants will be
made.

Heretofore when the crop was as
big as it IS this year. the berries
have sold at 8 to 10 cents per
gallon.
This season they we're remark
ably scarce IN the local market.
The people in the mountains have
either quit running the blackberry

are being bought up and shipped

The Clarksburg editors have
strenuous time of it and some of
them are in trouble all the time.
Last week, Ernest B. Morris, form
erly editor of The Herald, was ar
rested by Deputy United States
Marshal d. r. Jackson and taken
before u. S. Commissioner, T. S.
Spates, on a warrant charging him
with violating the Postals Laws.
Morris was held under 5000 bail
aud released on his own recogni-
zance to appear for trial before the
Federal Court at Martinsburg. The
charge is an old one trumped up
against him year ago, alleging that
he sent obscene matter through the
mails because he was making war
against the spesk-essies and fast
houses and tough joints generally
over at Salem. He made it so
warm for them that they have tried
every way to get even and we do
not think the charge will amount to
anything when it comes up for trial.
