! West Virginia Situation.

The people who attended the Demo-
cratic convention at St. Louis last July
Will remember the Hon. John T. McGraw,
politicians in this country. Mr.. McGraw
went to the convention to boom the Hon
Henry G. Davis for the vice-presidency,
and all who We're In attendance upon the
convention, either MS delegates or spec
tators, know what am enthusiastic friend
of Mr. Davis Mr.. N1cGraw was, and many
will remember that when he was asked
what thu, Hon. Steve Elklns would do In
the event OF the nomination OF Mr.. Davis,
his father-in-law, by the Democrats. that
Mr.. McGraw answered with hearty
laugh: HE will get divorce, commit
suicide or find that his health is too bad
to take part in the campaign" We have
been reminded OF this language of Mr.,
McGraw by a New York special, which
says:
West Virginia to his post at Republican
national headquarters with bit of slgni-
ficant news. Senator Stephen B. Elkins
is not taking an active part in the Repub-
llcan campaign in West Virginia, He is
sick"
BE 1t remembered In this connection
that Senator Elkins IS the Republican
boss in West Virginia, and It may be
truthfully said that he made West vir-
ginla Republican and h1s kept 1t Eepuh-
,ic,p Eo &c ha cnn,Iu low of Nv I,,.,t.
The sly Mr.. McGraw knew what he was
talking about at ST. Louis. West Virginia
will go Democratic.

General Corbin's Proposition.


General Corbin for urging that no army
officer be allowed to marry until he has
secured permission from the Secretary
OF War. is at present confined TO small
circle, composed Of impecunious officers
in the army and bellies who think 1t would
DO SO nice to become the wife Of real
soldier.
General Corbin's suggestion Is that this
permission shall not be given until an
officer, wounded by Cupid, can satisfy
the secretary that he is able to support
a wife and that he owes no man any,
most Europcan@military departments, and
the law is rigidly enforced in Germany
It is not original with General Corbin,
and he admits that he got his idea from
the German army regulations, and he
has learned that 1t works well In that
country. s HI AK
It is perhaps a very good rule for
Germany. but for any man in this coun-
try, who is Of age, even though lie be a
soldier, to have to ask permission of a
superior officer to get married, is repug-
nant to American institutions and tradl-.
tons The soldiers and the bellies near
the barracks will not find 1t hard to
create a public sentiment against Cen
.eral Corbin's proposition.
