The democrats of Martinsburg are

The democrats of Martinsburg are
presenting to the votes of the town a
ticket for city council that has never
been excelled in the history OF the
town. Three of the the five candi-
dates on the dem ocratic ticket have
served during the past two years and
their records are fresh before the peo-
pie. Martinsburg has never had a
council that has done more toT the
material welfare of the tow than the
present one and they have inaugural
ed new movements that when carried
out will do more for the city than any
council in the past has ever hoped Tor.
The movement in the direction of
paved streets Is one of the most i'm
portant. They have decided to pave
one block this year and we predict
that when one block is paved the i'm
provement will be so great that the
rest of the principal streets will soon
be paved. The people will demand
it and will get it,

By his own Efforts and strict fl

The Treasury deficit still rows On
May and it amounted to S34 800, 56G
and that amount will probably in
crease, rather than decrease, before
the end of the financial year on June
goth. What is, wrong with this re-
publican financial system that in
time OF compa rative prosperity it can
not make both ends meet? First and
foremost it is extravaganza in every
department ofthe government. Elk
penditures for everything have in-
creased. Ten years ago the total ex-
penditures were S352,I7o 446, while
for the year ending June so, 1904
they were $3.50, 400, 32I, or an increas-
ed expenditure OF over two hundred
and thirty millions Of dollars. The
increase last year over the previous
was over seventy-six millions OF dol
lars and when rhe Treasury books are
balanced on Tune 3oth next the ex
penditures for the fiscal year will be
found to have incre ased in like man.
ner. This extravaganza cannot con
tinue unless new taxes are imposed
or bonds are issued. The next Con.
gtess will have to meet this question
and the people should impress their
personalities with demand for re-
treuchment and reform. Reforms are
needed in every department, for
craft has been holding high reve,.
The expenses of the White House
have increased even in greater pro-
portion than in the lowlier bureaus
and the whole republican official life
is imbued with the idea that political
victory has given them the license to
almost unlimited extravaganza.
If the voters wish to rebuke their
spendtbrift statesmen they have an
opportunity at the coming special
election for Congress in this district,
By refusing to vote for the candidate
of the party that is responsible for
the waste of the peoples meney it

The>new election law which goes
into effect this week, and under
which the special election for Con-.
press will be held on June 9th, does
not specifically state what form OF at
fidavit shall be used by voter who
has been overlooked by the assessor,
and therefore not put on the regis
trat;on list.
At the conference OF the Democratic
and Republican Congressional
Committees held last Saturday the
Democrats proposed that uniform
affidavit blank be agreed on and fur
uished to the election officers in order
that there might be 70 confusion at
the polls, and that no question could
be raised by either party as to the al
fid,vit being made in proper form.
Such agreements have ALWAYS here
tofore been reached between the two
political parties, and the refusal OF
the republicans this time to reach
such an absolutely fair and honest
understanding has the most sinistet
significance.
1t means that IN the Republican
COUNTIES the assessors will be instruct
ed to keep every Democratic voter pos
sihle off the registration list. Then
when such voters 60 to the polls arm
ID with an affidavit, and in proper
form, the Republican affection Com-
missioners will refuse to allow them
TO vote on the ground that the aft 'avit
is imperfectly made, or raise some
other bubble TO disfranchise the Dem
ocratic voters.
This refusal to reach an honest
agreement bears on its face the badge
of fraud, and honest Republicans, as
we'll as Democrats, will resent at the
polls this iIquitous interference will
the most cherished right Of the Amer
lean citizen.

The Pan anna canal commission has
given the stand patters a hard jolt.
They have ordered supplies necessary
for construction from foreign mar

be purchased so much cheaper than

croaking about the matter and as 1t
comes from their federal administra-

position. After pointing with SO mach
