DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS.
Bright in West Virginia According to
Mr. r. P. Chew.

Mr.. R. P. Chew of Charlestown. w. Va,
a democratic candidate for presidential
elector of his state. is in Washington today
and was a caller at the headquarters of
the democratic congressional campaign
committee at the Riggs House. Mr. Chew
is about to enter upon vigorous campaign
tour through West Virginia. Beginning
Monday afternoon he will speak many
times daily for two weeks or more and
then. after a brief rest. will again take
to the stump.
Mr.. Chew believes that democratic pros
poets in West Virginia are very bright, and
agrees with the estimates of Mr.. Henry G.
LAWS. the vice presidential nominee, that
the state will cast a record vote and give
the democratic ticket surprising plural
ity. Mr.. Chew resents the statements that
have been made concerning the alleged
enfeebled condition of Mr.. Davis.
How does Mr.. Davis stand the rigors of
the campaign" Mr.. Chew was asked.
II can best answer that" he replied, by
giving you an account of a bit of personal
observation.
Mr. Davis was at Wheeling the 7th of
September and spoke at the fair there. In
the evening he attended banquet and that
night took late train to Jefferson county.
where he spoke at the Morgan Grove fair
next morning. The vice presidential cam
didate spent the entire day sightseeing at
the fair. a task firing to any one. But
despite this he joined me in a buggy ride of
eleven miles late in the afternoon in order
to reach Charlestown. where he was to
speak at night. The meeting at the court
house was a late one. and Mr.. Davis spoke
ar length.
Next morning, however, he was up
bright and early to catch the 6:45 o'clock
train to keep an engagement at Baltimore
a: noon. We arrived at the station some
time before the scheduled arrival of the
train. During this interim Mr.. Davis de-
olined a proffered chair, preferring to stroll
up and down the platform.
1.-The accomplishment of these tasks OF
these days was the work of young man,
but when Mr.. Davis left for Baltimore that
morning he was as active and as spry as
a boy. He thoroughly enjoys campaign
work. and Is capable of doing more of 1t at
eighty-one years than many men many
years his junior Our republican friends
need give themselves no worry on account
of Mr.. Davis age"

EXPECTS 10000 MAJORITY.
Senator Simmons Names the Issues OF
Interest in North Carolina.

Senator Simmons and Former Representa-
tive John S. Henderson of North Carolina
were at the headquarters of the democratic
national committee at the Riggs House
TODAY in consultation with Secretary Ed
wards. Chairman Cowherd has gone to
his home in Missouri to look after condi-
tions in his district, where there are some
complications among local candidates for
office that might affect Mr.. Cownerd's ma
jority if they are not Strengthened out be-
fore election day. There Is, however, no
question about Mr.. Cowherd's reelection.
Senator Simmons stated to a Star reporter
that North Carolina would give Parker and
Davis a majority in November of about co.
600 Senator Simmons is chairman of the
state democratic committee Of North Caro-
lima, and Mr. Henderson is the chairman of
the democratic committee OF the eighth
congressional district.
"The tariff and the trusts, together with
economy and honest administration IN the
conduct of the government. are the issues
that are of most interest to the people OF
North Carolina said Mr.. Simmons in re-
ply to a question. 1.-The people of the south
have seen to their state and municipal gov
ernments and they have insisted that ,hey
be conducted with strict economy and hon
esty. They want the national government
conducted in the same way
Speaking of the effect of the race ISSUE
in North Carolina, Mr.. Simmons said:
THAT is not troubling us now. We have
between five and six thousand registered
colored voters in the state Our entire
vote two years ago was about 22oVOO ana
it will be about the same this year. We
will have about as many colored voters this
year as we had two years ago. The .nly
qualifications that limit the colored vote
are the requirement that every voter shall
be able to read and write, and he shall
have paid the poll tax. There are proba-
bly, 10000 colored men in the sta-e VINO
have the educational requirement necessary,
but only 5000 5000 of them pay their
poll tax in time TO vote. We also lose about
10000 white votes from the same Klno OF
indifference. Four years ago, before the
present election law was in effect, the to-
tai number of votes cast in the state was
about 100000"
Mr. Simmons will return to No-:h Caro-
lima, where he will be engaged in the state
campaign until election day. He does not
expect to make any speeches outside or his
own state.

REQUEST OF PRINTERS
WANT NAMES KEPT LONGER ON
THE LIST OF ELIaIBLEs.
Call Of a Committee on the Civil Serv-
ice Commission-The Case
Presented.

A committee of four members of the In
tcInational Typographical Union, employed
now at the government printing Office, call
ed this morning at the rooms OF the civil
service commission with view to having
certain changes made in the rules of the
commission regarding examinations Of eligf-
bles for the printing Office.
Gen. Black the only commissioner in the
city, was not present at the discussion,
Secretary Doyle and Chief Examiner Wales
representing the commissioners. The Wis
itors presented arguments to the effect
that printers who had passed the civil
service examination and qualified for ap-
pcintment in the printing office should not
be called upon to pass a further examina-
ton at the end of a term Of temporary
employment. but should be maintained for
ever eligible or, at least, should have the
time of their eligibility further extended.
1t has been the rule Of the commission to
retain the names Of eligibles on the list for
one year, but the rules permit an extension
of this time and in many cases names have
been retained for two years. The printers
who are specially affected by this rule are
those who are temporarily employed dur
ing the sessions of Congress. The commit
tee offered the argument that 1t was I'M
fair to these men to take their names from
the eligible list after they had passed the
examination and held positions under the
government, and the request was made that
the rule calling for denominations after
two years on the list be abolished.
In opposition to this the commission has
held that the unfairness Is on the other
side and that retention of name on the
eligible list after two years creates an I'M
reasonable monopoly among those so re-
tanned. 1t has been claimed that it would
then be almost impossible for an outsider
to obtain a position in the printing Office.
for the reason that there are always on
hn oh 11ctn rryhn hoyv
temporarily employed at the printing Office
to fill any number of vacancies ordinarily
occurring.
The matter will be taken under advise
ment by the commission and adjusted in
accordance with what is felt by that body
to be just and fair to all.

that the association express it's deep graft
fication at the steps recently taken by the
interparliamentary union toward the set
tlement of controversies between nations
in the same manner as disputes between
individuals are settled, that is, by judg-
ment in accordance with recognized prn-
ciples of law; and that the association
record its great satisfaction at the an
nouncement by the President of the United
States of his intention to comply with the

For Uniform State Laws.
The report of the standing committee on
uniform state laws was adopted.
A report of the special committee on In
dian legislation was received and filed.
The report of the special committee on
Indian legislation embodies the conclusion
that lin the majority of the Indian reser-
vat1onS the prompt carrying out of the
provisions of the 'severalty act approved
February 8, 1887, is apparently the best
practical solution of the Indian problem"
The report states "our policy toward the
Indian is neither wise nor humane. We re-
quire of him no labor. We feed him and
allow him to spend his time in listless idle
| ness. This naturally leads to vice, degener-
acy and extinction. Yet he can work. We
think that in the greater portion Of the
country the time and circumstances are
ripe for the application of the severalty act
In the arid lands of the southwest a diff
ferent problem confronts us. We think
that throughout this arid region the federal
courts should be given jurisdiction of all
litigation, civil and criminal, to which an
Indian is party
Penal Law and Prisons.
The report of the special committee on
penal law and prison discipline was received
and approved, and a resolution pertaining
thereto was adopted.
The special committee on penal laws and
prison discipline reported favorably on the
resolution submitted to it two years ago.
relating to the proposition to establish
Washington, for the study of the criminal,
pauper and defective classes. The resolu-
ton favoring the establishment of such
laboratory meets with the approval of the
committee, which, after having investigated
the subject and its possible results, desires
to tcst the value of the same and recon-
mended the adoption of the resolution.
