The Register doesn't know but that
Charlie was killing two birds with
one stone, asst yere-trying to get
the insurgents in line, at the same
time he was organizing a lamp black
company. But what Is the use; OF
talking about "insurgents?,' There
weren't many in the first place and
they are growing beautifully less all

same reason that their Democratic al
lies are-can,t stand the pressure oc.

AN lNTERMEpIATE COURT.

To those familiar with the business
transacted in the Circuit Court, it be.
comes more and more apparent every
day that the work is entirely too ar.
duous for one man.
z It's self-evident fact that Judge
Lynch should by all means have an
J assistant; one thoroughly grounded
in the law and well equipped in every
particular.
A well known attorney remarked re.
Gently that he believed it was only a
question Of a short time until an in.
termediate court would be established,
as all knew there was too much bust
ness transacted, here for one man to
look after.
II such is the case, and we believe
1t Is, the local bar should take the
matter up ut the first opportunity and
do all IL can to have such a court es.
tabllshed.
The idea OF term of court extend.
ing for a period ofEfive weeks is ridic.
sulous. because everybody connected
wears out. "
Another thing must be considered
and that is that the petit juries are
usually composed Of farmers, and for
them to remain away from their farm
duties SO long is entirely wrong.
Taking all things into consideration
the News believes and is In favor Of
an intermediate court being establish.
ed here, and that at the first convent

q FINELY WORD.


The Fairmont West virginian calls
attention to the fact that while there
is no politics in West Virginia this
year. there viii be some next. II
wants everybody to begin thinking on
the subject. The West virginian IS
in the right as 1t always is excepting
when It gets or the subject of how
the party shall b. run as between the
people and the bosses.s 1t is especial
ly true that the votes should begin
to look out for material for the House
of Delegates and the State Senate ear.
ly in the season.-Parkersburg State
Journal. :
Now the West Virginian IL not pro
yoked is moved to say again what IL
has said many times before. and that
is that It realizes that the people, as
they have always done, will let the
bosses or politicians run the parties,
and so realizing 1t considers It time
lost in trying to change the order OF
things. II the State Journal can
bring about reformation 1t will de
serve no little credit, but looking at.
the matter as we do we have no ideas
that 1t will ever succeed.

ON OTHER THINGS.

One of the most joyful things to
contemplate nowadays in West yir
ginia is the sudden ending of STRIFE
over the new tax system which the
Republicans gave to the people as a
needed improvement over the old
misfitting affair. This is SO notable
as pertaining to our good friends. the
enemy. who were SO vociferous and
red-faced few short months ago. as
to be worthy of some comment.
OF course, the Wheeling Register,
always the last to catch on, is moved
to occasional mild remarks anent the
action Of the county courts in Nc.
Dowell and Mercer counties, but II
has abandoned any argument as to
the laws proper. The Charleston Ga
zette took q tumble several weeks
ago and began to center it's attention
on the colored brother, as the only
way out for the Democracy when the
people have the next opportunity to
call them to account for opposing tax
reform.

CRAwFORD's TRIAL.

 Against LOrenZ.


 Washington. June Civilian c. for the postoftice department. occupied the stand in his own defense during most of today's session of his trial for alleged conspiracy with August w. Machen and George F. Lorenz, in con nection with the government contract for letter carriers satchels.
 At the afternoon session of the court Attorney Worthington questioned the defendant with d view to contradlcting the testimony of Lorenz. On the di- rect examination, supported by con- tracts and letters, Crawford declared that Lorenz came to his office in Wash ingtOn in April. 1902. and it was then that the arrangements were made for the formation of partnership by which Lorenz would not bid for the letter carriers satchel contract but would aid the Postal Lock and Device Company in securing the contract His statement was in corroboration of the recollection of Mir. Polk, an att torney, on the same subject Lorenz had testified that ne mad not called on Crawford until later date and that Machen had arranged the meet ing. The defense put in large amount of documentary evidence con- corning the contract for straps to go with the satchels, tending to prove that, contrary to the testimony of Lor- eng, the Postal Device and Lock Com pany had expected to furnish straps with the satchels.
