commenting on the mention of Gen

for the Republican nomination for

didates for that office from Marion

The Review considers this another
OF Brother Powell's superb jokes
Swisher is certainly the limit.-Sis.
tersvilie Review.
Tne mention of Swisher's name to
an "insurgent'' has about the same
effect on him that the Haunting of a
red cloth has in the. face of bull. II
was Mr.. Secretary of State Swisher
who as State Senator led in the or
ganization OF the State Senate last
winter, defeating old long.haired
Marshall for the presidency. Swisher
manipulated matters so well on tina,
occasion that he was dubbed the
Matt Quay of West Virginia by some
of the newspapers. He did most
important work both for his party and
State at that time, for II the "insur
gents" had captured the organization
the license and tax laws would have
suffered at their hands great deaI
more than they did. Whenever we
see good word from an 'insurgent'
source about Swisher we shall begir
to think that the long-haired contin
gent is getting tired of Ran Stalna
ker's leadership and wants to return
to full Fellowship in the Republican
party.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.-The Inter.

! ne case of the, City Gas Company of
Norfolk. Va. against the baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, held that the latter has
heen guilty of unjust discrimination in
rates. Its rates on coal shipped from

than on coal to Baltimore. destined for
Norfolk. The commission decides tha.
this practice tends to suppress compe-

Of the mysterious death Of Attorney
John v. streed are gradually coming

that the attack on Streed was the re-

The duel theory agrees with the evil

opinion the blood on the inside Of the

from q wound ON some person other
