idea where he will be the coming year

Generally this plan works admirably,
every charge is supplied with a pastor
and each preacher is given some work.
There is little dissatisfaction. AS a

would were he to choose for himself
The bishop is assisted by the presiding
elders in making the appointments.
and through his and other channels
he gets a good idea as to the needs of

together in that way which will bring
best results. Of course mistakes are
made sometimes. as in other systems:
but a Methodist conference is as happj

West Virginia..
Chicago Chronicle.

AlISdSC
AS shown by the letter of the Chron-
icle correspondent from Charleston.
published yesterday, the Democrats
have little hope and no prospect OF
carrying West Virginia in the coming
Presidential election.
Henry Gassaway Davis was nomi-
mated for Vice President. of course, in
the hope that he would, if he lived. be
able to swing the State that way, but
even this hope is obviously unfounded.
Mr.. Davis carries West Virginia in his
trousers pocket in one sense and for
some purposes, but in a Presidential
election he will be more Of a handicap
thar an assistance.
When in the United States Senate
Mr.. Davis habitually avowed himself
an admircr OF the tariff principle
and of incidental protection, and he
had so lutte fault to find with the Re
publican tariff that he mad it appa-
rent to everybody that he did NOT care
how high the protective tariff was so
long as he was at liberty to regard the
protection as "~incidental."
Mr.. Davis has helped II make West
Virginia a protective tariff State. 1t is
so naturally, On o of being q
manufacturing State and because its
manufacturers have attracted of late
years a Republican population. but
Mr.. Davis as a capitalist. a
rurer and a railroad mar has both
sympathized with this sentiment and
stimulated it.
In the face OF these facts he cuts a
sorry figure perched on a platform
which says we ~denOunce protection
as a robbery of the many to enrich
the few and we favor a tariff limited
to the needs OF the government" and
his influence when he attempts TO ar
ray his State against the Republican
tariff will be a negative quantity.
The tariff is the paramount issue in
West Virginia and an issue on which
the Democrats of. that State are hope
lessly divided. What is more. Mr..
Davis is the last man in the world to
unite them.

Costs More and Worth More.

JOurnal.J
Driven nearly to desperation by the
scarcity of substantial material for
other than personal arguments against
President Roosevelt, many Democrats
are making a X of Candidate Davis
statement in his speech of acceptance
hat in 1860. under Buchanan's admin
istration, the cost of running the ma
tional government was only one cent
over 50 per capita, while last year. I'M
der the Roosevelt administration, it
amounted to 10 cents more than 81.
But not even such 4 laudatur temporis
acti as SO ancient a relic as Mr.. Davis
must naturally be would probably in
sist upon the conclusion that Buchan-
an was a better President than Roose-
welt. and surely no one who is not
suffering from mud on the brain is UNI
Il government now it is worth more.
Everyone will recall at once, of course.
that much OF the present rate of eX-
penditure is because OF the enormous
burden that was laid upon the govern-
ment by the civil war. which broke
out soon after the end OF Buchanan'S
term. MOI is there any reason why
Republicans need conceal the other
causes OF the government under Mr..
Roosevelt has been doing more for
the people than it did under Buch-
anan, and the taxpayers ought to be
willing enough to pay more for the
bettered service. Commerce has been
immensely facilitated by the improve
ment of rivers and harDors which had
hardly been begun in Buchanan's time.
Farming has beer helped by the work
of the Department of Agriculture.
which was not then in existence. y
Weather bureau which. though it costs
a large sum, is worth more han it
costs, has been developed since. These
are but a few examples from the long
list OF improved services which the
government has undertaken to render
in these latter years. They all cost
money, but they are all worth some
thing.
