NEWS OF PEACE
REACHES RUSSIA
CENSOR HELD BACK REPORT
UNTIL LATE HOUR, so NEWS
PAPERS SAID LITTLE.

ST. PETERSBURG, August 3d.
The news that peace had been made
did not become generally known here
until this morning, owing to the late
ness of the hour when the word ar
rived yesterday. The information
reached few of the summer gar.
dens and theatres at midnight, and
was received by the people who heard
in with manifestations of joy, and at
every place the health of NJ. White,
the Russian envoy who concluded the
peace, was drunk with champagne.
There is general rejoicing to-day
among the people over the news. NJ.
Whites name is on the lips of every
one, and he has become the foremost
man in Russia hardly excluding the
Car.
The fact that he was able to avoid
the payment of an indemnity to Japan
is regarded as great victory, al
though the cession of half of Sagha-
lien has caused some adverse COM
ments.
The reason for this is that the OBJ
tect of Japan's concessions is en-.
tirely misunderstood by the jingoes
who insist that Japan retreated from
the positions she took at first only
because she realized that General
Linievitch, the Russian commander
in-chief in Manchuria, would have de.
feated Field Marshal oyama in the
next battle.
The Novoe vremya takes this posi-
ton, and says that the Russian diplo-
mats were blind to conclude peace
when japan is exhausted and Field
Marshall oyama had telegraphed to
the Mikado that victory was Limpossi-
BILE.
Many of the newspapers do not
comment at all on the subject owing
to the lateness Of the hour when the
censor allowed the news to be made
public.

pie recognized their crookedness and
refused to trust them with power,
then we have no further interest In
the matter. But Governor Dawson
is State ofiiclal-the chief execu.
tive of West yirginia-and every citi.
zen has a right to demand that he
either meet the charges made against
him or get out of office. II we cannot

It hard to mete out proper punish
ment to private citizens who offend.
Charleston Gazette.
The Democrats OF Marion county
we are pleased to say, have been rel
egated to the ranks" Only one re.
mains in Office and he is In position
where he can't do any harm. The
people were slow In believing that
they were crooked" but they finally
became convinced of the fact and
then threw the gang overheard. 1t
will be a long time, in our opinion,
before they reappear to engage in
their dirty work again. If they ever
get another foothold in Marion coun-
ty 1t will be after the present genera.
ton shall have passed away and their
past acts have been forgotten.
The Gazette tries to be serious In
discussing the charges against Gov.
ernor Dawson, but doesn't 1t know
that it is making a mountain out Of
mole hill-that being bitter parti-
san sheet 1t doesn't get credit for the
seriousness 1t exhibits? The thing
that destroys the force OF all It says
is that grand jury composed OF six
teen substantial citizens, representa-
tives of all parties, paid no attention
to the charges made by Grant Hall.
They took. 1t as the vaporings Of a
disappointed and disheartened politi.
clan, 1t seems, and made no note Of
1t. In the estimation of most people.
Republicans. Democrats and Prohibi.
tionists, the grand jury did right
Being on the ground 1t knew the
animus of the narrator Of the story
and governed itself accordingly.
It is the business of the Gazette to
make political capital out of anything
that comes along, but 1t will never
accomplish an iota for itself or party
in maligning Governor Dawson under
the present circumstances, for its
course is condemned by the better
element of its party and we may say
by the people generally.

railroad property has been increased

1t is different proposition, how.
ever, when 1t comes to local taxes.
The anti-tax reformers would have It
appear that the State tax is all that
the railroads pay, when In fact they
pay five times as much county, dis.
trict and municipal taxes as they
pay to the State. Take Ohio county

MARK TWAIN
IS not PLEASED.
HE FEELS THAT THE RUSSIAN
PEOPLE HAVE LOST LAST
CHANCE OF LIBERTY.

BOSTON, Mass. Aug. 3O.-In a
dispatch to the Boston Globe from
Durham, N. H., Mark Twain has this
to say about the Russo.Japanese
peace settlement:
Russia was on her road to enamel.
patton from an insane and intolerable
slavery; / was hoping there would be
no peace until Russian liberty was
safe. l think that this was a holy
war in the best and noblest sense of
that abused term and that no war
was ever charged with higher mis-
sion. | think there can be no doubt
that that mission is now defeated and
Russia's chains are re-riveted this
time to stay.
Il think the Car will now with
draw the small humanities that have
been forced from him, and resume his
madleval barbarisms with a relieved
spirit and an Unreasonable Joy.
think Russian liberty has had its last
chance and has lost it.
81 think nothing has been gained
by the peace that is remotely COM
parable to what has been sacrificed
by 1t. One more battle would have
abolished the waiting chains of bill
lions upon billions of unborn Rus
SLAMS and wish it could have been
fought.
81 hope am mistaken, yet in all
sincerity l believe that this peace is
entitled to rank as the most conspicu-
GUS disaster in political history"
From Tamworth, N. H., exPresi-
dent Cleveland wires the Globe" as
follows:
81 thank you for the news Of peace,
which you sent me. 1t reinstates the
faith Of those who believe that the ad.
vance of civilization should mean
peace and means the abandonment
of war and slaughter, and the taking
up Of agencies of national progress
and greatness"

The position of the West virginian
is that Governor Dawson may have
committed crime but IL he did do
so. he is excusable because others
have done SO. The position of other
papers is that he may have commit.
ted a crime and IL he did do SO he
should be driven from his position as
governor of this state.-Morgantown

The West virginian hopes that
while Governor Dawson was chair.
man Of the, Republican State Com.
mittee he hoodooed the Democracy
in divers ways. We are afraid though
that he did not give them what they
deserved. But all we wanted to say
was that while q few mossback Dem
ocratic sheets are pretending to be.

have committed a crime" yet they
are making poor Roadway in having
others to pretend SO in view OF the
fact that the Kanawha county grand
