PRIVATE PLANT COSTS MORE.
John D. Rockefeller Will Get His Elee-
trio Lights From Company.

Tarrytown, N. Y, Aug. 2.-After
spending $4,000 and considerable time
in experimenting, John d. Rockefeller
has decided that, so far as he Is con-
cerned, the operation of private elec-
trio lighting plant is failure and he
signed the contract with the local
lighting company to light his estate
at Pocantico Hills.
AS soon as the new service is be-
gun the private plant will be for sale
at bargains price. It requires about
800 large incandescent lamps to light
the mansion grounds and private park
and they will be installed at once. The
private plant was put in year ago.
The dynamos were set up In the end
Of the barn.
After operating 1t short time, Mr..
Rockefeller discovered that the new
system was costing more than the elec-
tricity formerly supplied by the light
ing company. There was also the
constant danger of burning the barns,
which cost about 100000.

DO VACATIONS PAYF

Russell Sage is out fat-footed against vacations
but everybody laughs because he is generally re-
garded as an awful example of thrift and industry
gone mad. Still, are there not many young men who
profess serious intentions in the matter of success
and not mere Irritation who might proftably sss
themselves, Can afford to take vacation says the
Saturday Evening Post.
To the young man whose thoughts are on vacation
all the year round this is of no Importance; but to
the young man whose work is his main, his para
mount interest two weeks break of the continuity
may be hurtful setback. The excitement about
vacations arises chiefly from the deusion that it is
work that mpairs the health The truth s of coarse,
that work affects the health only Of him who spends
most of his energy in some form of selfindulgence
and if it wercn for the heathful regularity Of work
he would break down altogether.
great many very wise and longlved men have
taken vacations in order that they might be free to
work harder than ever.

UNCLE SANS PURSE.

There is nothing particularly startling or signif-
cant in the circumstance that the governments ex-
penditures for the past month heavily exceeded its
receipts. The deficit in the government revenue for
July was about $21OOO,OOO; and, of course, if ex-
penditures were to continue very long to outstrip
receipts at this rate the day would not be far away
when the federal treasury would be totally barren
Of available cash.
But July is always month when government dis
bnrsemnts are exceedingly large 1t constitutes the
first month of new fiscal year, and during it heavy
appropriations that have been made by congress be-
come available, and larger and more numerous drafts
are made on the treasury than during any other
month Of the year. In addition, July is a month

when interest payments are made on government
bonds Last july before the decline in customs be-
came so marked as it has since, the governments ex
penditures exceeded its receipts nearly $7OO00O0
The treasury officials confidently believe that, with
the close Of August at the latest the government S
income viii once more exceed its disbursements and
that the amount of available cash in the treasury will
Increase In the meantime there is no likelihood that
the government win be Strengthened in the near fu-
ture for means to meet current obligations While
the available cash in the treasury has now reached
the extremely low point of $26000OOO, the govern.

At the same time nothing is to be gained by closing
ones eyes to the fact that the tendency of customs
receipts is still downward and that. unless these re-
ceipts take sharp opposite turn in the next half

JUSTICE AND HONESTY.

Several Democratic papers are run
ming this section OF the new tax laws
as though it were a great discovery
and designed to curry favor with cor
porations:
% But the shares OF capital stock
owned by residents of this State in
corporations actually located in other
States. and whose property is taxed
by the laws of such other States shall
not be required to be listed for taxa
ton
What is the matter with this? Does
it not prevent double taxation? If a
West Virginian pays taxes on shares
he owns in an Ohio, New York or
Pennsylvania corporation would you
tax him again in this State? II you;
would it would be double taxation and
double taxation is wrong. The Dem
ocrats falsely call This "the great trust
graft" when it is simply 4 matter of

coRNwELL AND LABOR.

The Wheeling Register says Mr..
CornwelFs letter attacking the
unions is manly one and thinks the
Republicans are real mean for max
ing it public. The letter was written
to Capt. r. NJ. Williamson, promi-
nent G. and o. conductor of Hunting
ton and chairman of the legislative
committee of the Railroad Mems or
ganization, in reply to request to
Mr.. Cornwell to support the fellow
servants bill. Mr.. Cornwell ignored
Captain Williamson's request but on
the contrary launched into a TRADE

things Mr.. Cornwell says:

We want to say to the Republicans
of Marion county that if that grand
old veteran, Captain Blackburn B.
Dovener, had done nothing else, his
work in the matter of the Ohio and
Monong ahela river improvements and

alone sufficient to commend him for
reelection to Congress. The endur-
ing monuments that have risen and
are still rising from the beds Of these
rivers in the form of locks and dams
are the testimonials of his work and
worth on the great Rivers and Har-
bors Committee, OF which he is now
the member next to the chairman.
Captain Dovener's election is as GER

it is really unnecessary to refer to
his candidacy, being aware, as we
are that he Will receive the hearty
support of all loyal Republicans, most
of whom have long known him per-
