GONE TO
CONFERENCE
Rev. MCGEE, Who Was Presiding Elder
Here Six Years, and Rev. Sampson,
Resident Pastor, Leave For the
Great Yearly Meeting.

Rev. c. a. Niece and wife. and Rev.
George C. Sampson left Tuesday for
Uniontown, Pa, to attend the annual
conference of tins African Methodist
church, which meets there Wednesday
and continues until Monday. Rev. Nc
Gee has been presiding elder of the
Clarksburg district of the Pittsburg
conference six years, the full time al
lotted by the rules of the conference,
and. of course. will not be returned to
this district. His work here has been
OF highest and most faithful character
and he has done the denomination, his
people and the district great good. He
is a preacher of great power and an in
defatigable religious worker. Many OF
both races are sorry that he must go
elsewhere. Rev. Sampson mas been the
efficient, able and popular pastor of
Pride's chapel the past year and has
done much good work for the church AM
the community. His congregation wants
him to return to it for another year
but tnere is much talk OF appointing
him to an eldcrship, since four new pre-
siding elders are to be appointed thi:
conference As such he would alsc
prove eminently successful. The con
ference will be presided over by Bishop
w. Is. Derrick, of New York.

THE AcruAE VALUE.

The Tax Commission recommended
tile real value feature of the new tax
laws. Henry C. Davis, the Democratic
candidate for vice president, and John
Fl. Holt. the last Democratic nominee
for governor, strongly approved of this
actual value feature. Mr.. Holt made Al
strong speecn before the commission in
favor of the justice honesty and equal
ity Of the real value theory and pre-
scented a number of reasons why it
should be adopted Holt came very
near being called on this year to be the
Democratic candidate again for COVER
nor. He is one of the abIest men in the
state and as an authority on this ques-
tion MS word should be taken ten times
sooner than the swarm of little school
mouse orators who arc viciously and
maliciously and falsely attacking this
particular feature of the new bills. The
views of sssch an abFe. man as Holt are
certainly entitled TO much greater
weight than theirs and Democrats who
have decided to support Dawson and the
great tax reform movement should not
permit themselves to be deceived by
those VINO are on record as having bit
terly opposed the movement from its
very inception, ssch as John CornwelI,
the Democratic nominee for governor,
mas done. They should remember that
the important features of tine new leg.
isiation were heartily endorsed and sup
ported by Henry G. Davis and John Fl.
Holt as members of the tax commission
They have never repudiated the views
they expressed two years ago, even
though CornwclI does not agree with
them, and they hold the same opinion
now they did then.

People that have dyspepsia have

They feel bilious. and the world in

they have so many symptoms that

they feel the worst. The fact Is. the
source from where they get their
strength has been cut of, and they
are sick all over. The food taken in
to the stomach remains ~undigested.

followed by sick headache, and gen.

NEW STATEHOOD BILL.
Arizona and Oklahoma Territories

Arizona and Oklahoma Territories
Have Chance TO Get In.
Washington, March 26.-The states
of Oklahoma and Arizona are Great.
ed in a bill which has been completed
by the Republican members of the
subcommittee of the house commit
tee on territories. The Democratic
members of this subcommittee have
been placed in possession of the bill,
and after they have considered it for
a few days a meeting of the full sub
committee will be held. The two
states mentioned are composed of Ok
lahoma and Indian Territory, as ok
lahoma." and Arizona and New Mex
leo. as Arizona"
The admission of the latter two
territories is not delayed by n re-
striction of law. but may be effected
as soon as a convention can be call
ed TO form a state constitution. The
bill provides. however, that Oklaho-
ma and the Indian Territory shall not
be admitted As a state until ale year
1906. BY this time all the Indian
lands will have been allotted. The
problem of providing proper revenues
tor schools. growing out of the fact
that the Indian lands of Oklahoma
and Indian territories has been allot-
ted in several places to the Indians
under a law which makes them n
taxable. has been met by provision for
an appropriation of $5.Uvv,oy, out OF
the treasury. This money is to be
used to establish and maintain
schools. The principle of this fund
may be used to the extent necessary,
the balance being placed in deposit
at 3per cent interest to the credit of
the state for maintenance of the
schools established.
The state constitutions to be form.
ed under the bill must contain an
abundant prohibition OF polygamy.
Suffrage cannot be restricted except
for ignorance. imbecility, age and sex.
This will not prohibit woman suffrage
IL the constitution to be introduced
shall SO provide. Negro suffrage can
not be restricted as such.

WHAT HEARST BOOM is DOING.
The Party Which Takes II Seriously
Doomed 10 DISGRACE.

The Party Which Takes It Seriously
Doomed to Disgrace.
We think it may safely be said that
few. II any, serious-minded persons
at the present time think there Is
any reasonable chance that William
r. Hearst will be nominated for the
presidency by the Democrats. On the
other hand. it is quite as certain that
the Hearst boom has passed beyond
the stage of a curiosity, and Is now
reckoned with among the serious
forces Of politics. So large and i'm
portant a state as Kentucky Is said
to be hopelessly given over to him
and it Is easy to understand the
wearied disgust with which Colonel
Watterson regards that situation.
While nobody of any importance
seems to look upon Hearst's nomina-
ton as a thing OF which the chances
need to be computed, II Is thought by
no means unlikely that he may con.
troll one-third OF the delegates. and
thus, undes the two-thirds rule of
Democratic conventions, exercise a
potent influence on the result at st.
Louis.
Now. waving altogether the con.
s"ideration of Hearst as an actual can
didate. IL is worth while for Demo-
Gratis to consider the effect which the
mere circumstance that he has reach.
ed the point of being seriously con-
sidered by the party is having upon
the party's status in the country.
Hearst is. to say the least a freak
candidate. IL Is not worth while to
enter into the matter closely at the
present stage Of ii. His prominence
is due solely to his proprietorship of
a newspaper notorious as the most ex-
IRENE example of sensational jour-
nalism-a paper which exploits
crimes and scandals for the money
there Is in doing so. and which. in its
political policy. beats tom-toms and
roars through a megapnone by way of
argument. To entrust such a man
bilities and powers OF the president
of the United States-to make him
the successor Of George Washington
is a proposition that is too prepos-
ferrous for discussion among sober
men. The party that takes 1t serious.
ly writes itself down an ass. 1t is
hurting itself thereby every day with
millions of plain, old~-fashioned Amer
leans, without distinction of party.
1t is laying up for itself a stock of
confidence which 1t can i'll afford
to augment. Any Democrat who stops
to think, and who has any influence.
will do well to speak out quickly on
this Hearst folly.-Baltimore News.
