LOST WIPE.
West Virginia Editor Is Full OF Woe
Over Departure Of Ills Spouse.

Thomas u. Garner, editor OF the
Williamson West Virginia has lost
his wife. In the current issue Of his
paper he says. "Wcll, TO add TO the
climax of all our recent troubles our
wife has left US. She has bundled
up two of the youngest kids and
gone to Cleveland, so we are told.
What other metropolis she will take
in We are not able to say, for she has
left us with number OF other kids,
which will occupy all our time and
attention without looking after the
further perambulations of our wife.
We feel like doing almost anything
desperate. II she bad taken all the
kids with her we might have borne
the situation a little more resigned.
ly, but she has left the larger half
with us, as gentle reminder Of the
past, we presume. Yes. she has
gone. pack and baggage; left us all
alone in our age and melancholy
with all the glee OF a youthful
woman. 1t is a sad coincidence,
but II is true story nevertheless;
all brought about by a mo,her-in-
Law and sister-in-law, who concoct-
ed the terrible scheme, and had our
will completely under their control
before we ever dreamed OF such
catastrophe. She left on Sunday
night at one O'Clock. May peace.
and happiness be with her, for GER
tainly we cannot, with three young
children left behind to amuse our
imaginations. Every day something
comes to sadden our generally buoy
ant heart, but we hope our wife will
have good time, and not get too
gay, and after she has drunk in all
the sweet of city life, come wander
ing back home some day, to assume
the care of the kids she has left be.

demned the appointment IF DR..
Crum as collector OF customs at
Charleston, S. { and said that the
disturbing effect Of President Roose
velts attitude toward the negro can
never be adequately estimated in its
retardation of the solution of the
race problem. Judge Somerville is
a man Of great independence of
opinion and he does not feel that
any apology forhis article is needed.

Importing firms in New York,
Baltimore, New Orleans and other
cities are already learning by direct
experience the working of the new
pure food law. In consequence of
the analysis by the Bureau Of Chem
tstry cargoes Of foreign goods just
imported to these cities have been
officially condemned and notice to
this effect forwarded to the Trea-
sury Departments for final action.
pr. H w. Wiley, who has become
well known as the Government
Chemist in the Agricultural Depart
ment, has charge of these investiga.
lions. He says, I'VE are enforcing
the law from three points of view
asiprovided in the act. We are ex-
cludsng food products which have
any foreign substance added to
them which is injurious to health,
such as certain .pTeservatives bleach
ing agents and artificial colors.
We are also trying to exclude arti-
cles which are forbidden entry or
restricted in sale in the country
from which they come. This is in
accordance with the specific pro-
vision OF the law. We are trying
besides TO exclude articles which
are falsely branded. The first of
these grounds is easily determined
by chemical analysis. The pro-
vision resting on the laws of the
country from which the goods come,
we get at by constant study. of
those enactments as forwarded to us
bysour consuls on request of the
State Department. The question
of false labels is more troublesome.
We can sometimes datermine it by
chemical means, as has already
happened in several cases where
importation of what purported to be
pure olive oil was found to contain
other vegetables oils, such as cot
ton or peanut. Other false labels
are easily detected for geographic
reasons. such as a sherry made in
Greece or Cognac made in Ham
burg. Cognac is produced only in
certain districts of France and
sherry only in Spain. 1t is generally
admitted by importers that large
quantities of misbranded wines,
brandies and whiskey come to this
country.

"rmE CAPTAINS OF INDUSTRY,
who Control the Finances OF this
Country.


Official Washington is amazed
aud astounded at the revelations
made under oath by Leroy Dresser,
late President of the Trust Company
OF the Republic, relative TO the
thimble rigging IN connection with
the sale OF the Bethlehem steel plant
to the shipbuilding Trust. 1t has
shocked even Wall Street, hardened
as ii is. aud appalled, the people.
According 10 Mr.. Dresser, j. Pier
pont Morgan, Charles NJ. Schwab,
and their partners in "high finance"
in return for a property worth
81, 200, 600, received $50, 900, 600
in the securities OF the trust, togeth-
or with an agreement that none of
the stock or bonds of the trust was
10 be marketed until the holdings of
Morgan, Schwab at all had been
sold TO the conhding public. What
was this but a double intended cheat
on gigantic scale9 A chca, on in
vestors by taking their money for
water, and cheat ON the stock
holders of the trust by depriving
them OF market for their securities
until the holdings of the captains"
had been transmitted into money.
What is the difference, in its moral
quality, of the action Of these "cap-
tains of industry"-these financiers
who practice arts for the pillaging
of the community, from those which
land small swindliDg rogues in jail3
Yet these discrcdited men have |
held, and still hold, the financial
welfare of muIttudes throughout the
United States in the hollow of their |
hands. And among these are per-
sons, who posed as democrats dur
Ing Mr.. Cleveland's last term, and |
were conspicuous among the boilers
of 1896 and 1900. They are the |
same SNUG hypocrites who have the
brazen effrontcry, the ineffablc gall,
attack an American patriot like |
William Randolph Hearst. They |
are the same bandits who unctuously
talk about protecting the conscrva-
tive businss interests Of the country,
who want 10 pass upon the safety"
forsooth, Of the democratic presi- |
dehtia candidate, and who, under
cover OF a sanctimoDius demeanor
want 70 put forward one of their
tools as the standard bearer of
Jefferson's party. The Shipbuilding
Trusts records show that "Mr.
Morgan got his FIRST"
Well, there dosn't seem to be such
a marked difference between Mr..
Morgan's methods in this instance
and when President Cleveland hand
ed over to Mr.. Morgan an entire
government bond issue TO "noat."
Mr.. Morgan took the bonds at a
good deal less than TIE market price |
and two days later peddled them out
at profit of S. or SO a bond.
Again, "Mr. Morgan got his first"
The New York newspaper headlines
explain in their terse way: "Morgan
got IS, 600. 900 for nod" in the
shipbuilding swindle. What did he |

Miss Manuela was directing and

using her utmost efforts to prevent
the spread Of the disease.

There are oceans of unshed tears
over the decapitation OF Major G. en-
eral Henry c. Corbin. Corbin, the
boss, the buffer, the bully of the
Army, has been banged between the
eyes and thrust through the ropes.
After years of scheming and bully
ing and blundering he has failed at
the moment he seemed surest of
success.
II means that the famous comic
opera known as the reorganization
of the army" is to be played like
Hamlet" with Hamlet left out, for
the reorganization was for the sole
and specific purpose Of boosting
Corbin into absolute control Of IN,
establishment, and now Corbin is
pitched into a sideshow tent by be-
ing sent out Of Washington into
command of the department OF the
East on Governors Island in New
York harbor.
General Miles, who was sacrificed
TO the ambition Of Corbin, will gain
nothing in official recognition by
the sidetracking of his ancient
enemy, for his retirement has clint
mated him from the situation, but
If revenge possesses any of its ira
ditional sweetness for General
Miles, he surely has need Of great
sweet tooth capacity.

JUDGE G0FP STRIKES A BLOW FOR
THE PEOPLE

From the Wheeling Register.
Judge COTS decision in the King
wood Coal Company suit agains.
the West Virginia Northern Railroad
Company is decisive blow IN favor
of the independent coal operators
as against the Coal Trust. Under
his decree railroad companies must
furnish cars to the coal companies
along their lines in proportion To
the capacity of the mines.
For years independent coal oper-
ators in West Virginia, and in other
states, have been forced to await
the pleasure of the railroad compan
les to transport their product to the
market or sell to the Coal Trust at
ruinous prices.
Judge COTS sweeping decision
clears away this menace with a
fash.
Hereafter the independent coal
operators will have the same oppor-
tunity to market his product as the
mines of the Trust. Should excess.
i've rates be charged by the railroads
in the effort to crush independent
competition, recourse is to be had in
the Interstate Commerce law
which provides an equal rate for one
aud all.
Independent coal companies,
independent iron and steel mills,
independent manufaciu ies Of all
kinds, are the foes of all trusts and
in these lie the oaly hope of the
people to crush this menacng evil.
