show an even break between Sunday
drswnIngs and Sunday auto fatalities.

Congressman Dalzell, of Pennsyl-
yania says the Republican leaders will
be glnd to discuss the tariff issue dur
ing years campaign with the Demo-
Gratis, Well, the Democrats will meet
the issue with eagerness, but from IN
dications, the Republican standpat-
tiers will have to discuss the question
with their own party. Republican
of Iowa endorsed Governor Cummins
and says: "We are convinced that an
immediate revision of certain tariff
schedules is nece ssary and that no al
legged party expediency should cause
delay in the work incident thereto"
Mr.. Dalzell will have to do good
deal of missionary work among the
Iowa Republicans.

Love and royalty make sweet
Sum ling combination apt to excite
clvy.
The lovers without wealth or station
and the rich nabobs without love may
alike look upon the young king of
Spain and his noble bride, whose hearts
are joined as we'll as their hands, so
singularly blessed.
If there are any especially favored OH
earth it would seem it must be this
pair of royal young lovers, who, N adj
dition to their love, have all material
environment to which human ambition
could aspire.
But it is we'll for us humber folk to
remember that happiness in love is
not dependent on high station in life.
Love, like the sunshine,i is for all and
is sweetest perhaps to those whose
lives are ordinarily In the shadows.
Anyway, the smiles seem more soul.
full and the laugh rings more true at
the wedding of the poor or humble
than of the rich or exalted.
If history teaches us anything it is
that the past sovereigns of Spain with
all the spiendor of their environments
and all the fire of their love, have new
er been happy in their marriages.
Ferdinand VIII, while still crown
prince, married Marie Antoinette
Theresa and thereby gained the i'm
perial wrath of Napoleon, and after her
death his love intrigues lost him his
kingdom. After his restoration he mar
ried Maria Christina, whose very name
is still hated by tine Spanish people.
Largely through her influence he is
sued the Pragmatic Sanction which
abolished the Salic Law, made Isabella
the crown princess and gave Spain
its terrible heritage of Carlst conspir-
acies.
Alfonso III, made ali unpopular
marriage with his cousin, and Merce-
DIES died a few months after marriage
Then he took the Archduchess Maria
Christina of Austria-a marriage doub-
ly hateful to his subjects. She has
conducted herself wisely during her
regency, but has never won the favor
of the Spanish people.
The marriage of Alfonso NH, and
the princess Ena is one oflove, but the
heritage of complications and disasters
which clings to their throne, is ter
riable thing to live under.
Are they to be envied?
Enviable are the thousands of hum
BILE couples who have nothing in the
world but their love and their hopes.

In the death OF Senator'S. +. Gorrsan,
the country loses one of its foremost
men and the National Democracy a
pillar upon which it has leaned for
years. As a Statesman he was the peer
of any man in the Senate since the
great war between the states. He was
a natural born leader and as a politi-
clan, he was resourceful, alert and
practical and was the first man to guide
the party to a national victory after
the war. He practically spent his life
in the United States Senate, in some
capacity or another, beginning when
hey as q page, and he was probably
the best Informed man in the Sc nate,
during his day, on the rules, and pre-
cidents of the Senate. AS a man, he
was courageous at all times for the
truth, champion for honesty and
purity in life and his promise, though
an acknowledged practical politician,
was always as good as his bond, his
slightest pledge was as good Ms gold he
was true to the last extremity, he new
er deserted his friend cost, what it
might, and if his friend went down he
always went down with him.

That there is going to be a political
upheav al in this country is foregone
conclusion. The very atmosphere is
charged with it and even Republicans
are willing to concede that mighty
tempest is brewing There has been SO
much rottennessland corruption reveal
ed that the people are going to order
general house cleaning. The Augean
stables have become intolerable and
there is going to be something doing
from this time on until the renovation
reaches the very White House and it is
purified from garnet to cellar. All
eyes are strained toward that peerless
statesman, William J. Bryan as the
man to lead the anxious masses in
this great cleaning process. There will
be no whitewash in any matters in
which Mr. Bryan Is interested. Above
crazy and he will have none of it. He
has the confidence and respect of the
people as no other man in puplic life.
When he was younger he doubtless
made mistakes as to matters of judg-
ment, but all acknowledge them as
honest errors lfithey were error but
there has never been time when his
purity and honesty were impugned.
He has grown in experience and today
he is acknowledged even by his bitter
est enemies as man as pure in his
thought as woman, and in business
and politics as honest and incorrupt-
ible as the apostle Paul.
What an admirable president Mr..
Bryan will m axe.

The demand for maximum rate of
two cents mile for passenger travel
on the railroads is a reasonable and a
just one. The railroad rate bill which
is about ito pass Congress prohibits
railroads issuing passes entirely and
without exception. The pass system
in vogue on most all the railroads has
been an important factor in passen-
ger traffic. All member of Congress,
and state legislatures rode on passes,
besides all the hangers on about the
national AID state capitols. Judges en-
joyed the privileges Of free passes for
themselves and families. Municipal and
county officials were hauled on free
passes besides thousands of other peO-
pie who had pull. Nearly half the
travel was being done on free passes.
Now that all must pay why should
not the rate be reduced. If three cents
a mile paid when one half the people
were travelling free why world not
two cents mile pay when all pay?The
railroads were prospecting under the
old pass system and now that the rev.
enue is TO be nearly doubled why
should not the public get some benefit
of the change?

500 Battles.

Perhaps, with all the educational
enIightment of the present day, there
are but verylfew people who know that
during the Civil War 800 battles were
fought on Virginia and West Virginia
soil. Yet such is the case, as Major
Robert w. Hunter, of Winchester,
custodian of State military records,
now has occasion to know.
Major Hunter has just received
through the agency of Senator Daniel,
magnificent postal route map, which
was printed by the Governm n aad
on this he will mark the place of every
notable fight that occurred during the
four years of war
The undertaking, however. almost
weeks and weeks before he completes
the work, which is exceedingly diff
cult. The ma p on which he is to make
the records is eight by seven feet in
size, and includes both of the Virgin
las.
Fortunately Major Hunter will
have as his assistant in the work an
expert engineer end artist and pro-
found student of the Civil War.-Cap
tain r. Travers Daniel, who is his as
sociate in the department of records.
Beth officials are enthusiastic about
their undertaking, though they feel
the great responsibility attaching to
the work and are thoroughly imbued
with a realization of the necessity for
accuracy. The map, when properly
marked, will be explained by numer-
ical indeX.-News-Item

There seems to be but one object in
view with the Republican machine in
West Virginia this year and thatis the
reelection of Senator Elkins to the
United States Senate. The rule ih each
county convention seems to be the en-
dorsement of Elkins. There is no doubt
that the sentiment of the people of the
state is against the course of the Sena-
tor during the important discussion OF
the railroad rate bill in Congress and
if he Is reelected it will not be the free
and untrammelled will of the people

Enlargingipq.

The Martinsburg Power Company,
has given out the contracts for the
erection of a large stone building at
Dam No. on the Potomac river for a
new and powerful power plant, which
will be auxiliary to their present large
plant at Dam No. 3 and the steam
power in this city. 1t is estimated that
the new plant will cost 1873 900 and
will nearly double the company's pres
ent facilities The two water powers
are expected to develop about 5000
horse power. The company is only
preparing to meet expected demands
from the new cement works and the
proposed trolley line which Col. S. w.
Walker add Col. j. f. Thompson are
negotiating for.

The new two cent railroad rate laws
enacted by the legislature Of Virginia,
Maryland and Ohio during the past
year meets with the hearty endorse
ment Of the people and are working
well. The man who will not vote for a
two cent rate flll in our next Legislature
should not be sent to the Legislature
and the voters should see that no man
goes TO Charleston to enact laws for
them who is not in the interest of the
people as against the railroads.
Martinsburg statesman. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1869-1906, 1906-06-08

Judge Jackson of West Virginia who
mooe than forty four years served on
the federal bench, says; "Unless a
check is put spon the present tendency
toward corruption which has been gain
ing in force during the last few years,
this country will be in bad way.
That there is corruption in private
life is demonstrated by the increasing
number of divorce cases. The antics
o. high life, aped by taose of lesser
wealth, are largely responsible. The
rem edy for that lies in the moral pre-
cep,s Of the Christian religion"
Martinsburg statesman. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1869-1906, 1906-06-08

Oar attention has been called to the
fact that some Democrats ia Berkeley
county are of the opinion that news
paper men will not be free to vote in
he interest of the people as against
the railroads, if elected to the state
legislature because they are enioyin o
tse privilege of riding on free pass.
The newspaper men have had no free
passes for nearly twenty years. They
lave for years had contracts with rail
roads by which they did advertising in
exchange for limited amount oftrans-
portatlon but even that has, since the
first of the present year, been abolished.
Editors pay the cash for their transpor-
portation and the railroads pay cash
for their advertising just as all other
advertisers do and on the same footing
with newspapers as other advertisers.
If the editor of the Statesman is hon
ored by the voters Of this senatorial dis
trct with election to the State Sen,
,e he pledges himself to pay his fare
la Charleston when the legislator.
lh 'ets just as he does whenever he
tr-Vels on the railroadinow.

The people of West Virginia demand
that the next legislature shall give
them some wholesome railroad legisla-
ten. They will demand that two

est Of influential favorities and tig
shippers-t to the.detriment of the masses
