BASEBALL DEADBEATs.

Baseball appears to be sufficiently
desired by many here as to induce
them to go to the grounds, but not
of such burning nature as to cause
them to go inside of the inclosure.
It is of that sort that causes them
10 take to the roadside and the
woods, where t!e< can see the game
xithout paying a red copper. Pos
zsibly, they forget that those who af-
ford this amusement are entitled to
fair, consideration. Maybe they
think the boys bought their uni
forms, and the grounds were leased
10 entertain them free of charge. But
after all We wonder if they are lib
eral enough to even appreciate the
fact that what they got cost them
nothing. We have a notion that
they get angry because they think
She boys are not good enough.
though they pay not a cent to see
them play.

THEY DIDN'T KNOW.

The Wheeling News very aptly
remarks as follows, and just as
truthfully as APPLY:
."The Baltimore & Ohio railroad
figured for assessment under the
true and actual value law its prop
erty at $17,000,0Oo, and submitted
that amount to the State Board OF
Public Works. The State board
did some figuring OF its own and
figured the amount at SSo,0oO,oO0.
"The Norfolk & Westerns figures
for true and actual value as submit
ted to the board We're S9,OOO,0oo.
The board revised these figures and
the Norfolk & Western goes o nthe
books at $29,OQO,0o0.
"The Chesapeake & ohio's state
ment to the board was S7.400,oo0.
The board raised it to 2S,OOO,0oo.
did not some one say a year OF
30 ago that Governor Dawson and
his tax reform hackers had made a
deal with the railroads? Queer sort
deal, was it not?"

IN MEMORY

In kind and loving remembrance
of Mrs. Margaret Isaphine Manley,
wife of r. A. Manley, and daughter
of N. NJ. and Martha A. Floyd, are
these lines written:
Life and death are not what they
innatcly are, but what they seem to
us to be. We may view life as a
blessed privilege, great opportuni-
" to prepare for richer life in "a
broader field of action yet to come,
or We may look upon it as troubled
existence which We are forced to
endure. So with death We may
view it as the necessary means of
laying aside mortality to put on
Immortality; Gods plan of calling
US to himself, or tmay be to us and
to our homes feared and dreaded
calamity /; the all powerful destroyer
of that which we most cherish.
Those who take the former view see
in the death of Christian the
transfer oil membership from the
church militant to the church tri-
umphant. To the writer, the death
here chronicled seemed to be the
means of transplanting flower
which had burst into perfection and
when removed by the loving hand of
our dear Savior, will bloom forever
in the fields of light above. SO
conscientious was she in disposition,
and recognizing the importance of
having Christ in her life, she conse-
Grated herself to his cause at an
early age and united with the NJ. F..
Church at Coburn's Greek, Harrison
county. After her marriage to
Robert Manley they moved TO Mans
field, H.. and there she, together
with her husband joined the Baptist
church of that place. Not only did
she unite with that church but she
was one of its organizers and con-
tributed literally of her earthly
means to its support Nor was this
all. She was a Sunday school and

CRAZY Idea.

About the craziest thing the Tele-
gram has ever seen advanced in poll
tics is that stating that new party
may be formed provided the Repub-
licans will let it come into the Re
publican primary with ticket OPP
posed to the Republicans who may
seek nomination, and unadulterated
gall is in the suggestion that the
Republicans give this new party at
least one commissioner at every
voting place. The new party, ac-
eording to the authority that adj
yanccs the rum dun idea is to be
composed of all political parties,
and is to be separate and distinct
from the. Republican party. In
deed, it would be no crazier than if
the Democratic party should demand
4hst it be given one commissioner
at every voting place Of the ,Repub-
Ican primary, with the FtbesseS in
view of naming Democrats for
nominees instead off, Republicans.
We think as every sensible person
does that the man who advanced
that idea has wheels in his head, and
n certainly not competent mentally
to address the public in any man
1r or on any subject.

FOR UNIT RULE.

In speaking of the recent meeting
of the Republican executive COM
mittee of Harrison county some try
to convey the idea that there were
what they choose to call @antis"
present and Harvey W. Harmer is
classed by them as of that alleged
crowd. Next they state that the
"antis' did not want the unit rule.
The Telegram denies that for Mr..
Harmer because he expressed him
self as satisfied with the action of
the committee in this respect as
well as with all others, and thus it
is shown those fellows who say other
wise are either mistaken or are not
telling the truth.

act was pending. The lumber ques-
ton came up, and even a large NUM-
Der of Republicans wanted to put it
on the free list. But for Senator
Elkins it would have gone on the
free list. He had in mind the vast
forests Of West Virginia and the
competition from the Canadian for
ests il lumber was put on the free
list So he insists that there should
be a duty Of two dollars thousand
feet levied on every thousand feet
of lumber brought into this country,
He was violently opposed in this,
and even President Mckinley urged
him 10 accept a compromise Of one.
dollar per thousand. But he an.
nounced that he would accept, no,
compromise and that the bill would
have to include his amendment.
The result was that it went in, and
from that day to this West Virgin
ians have, gotten two dollars per
thousand feet morc for, their lum-
Der than they would have gotten had
they been forced to sell it in com
petition With free ln1nber from
Canada. 1t is estimated that on an
average one million. feet of lumber
passes through Elkins alonssper day.
This would mean two thousand dol
lars additional per day on that ,lum-
Der alone. If the reader wants to-
figure out how much that would
amount 10: in nine years let HIN
multiply $500 by 2,7oo and he will
have it approximately. Than let
him multiply that BY three for it is
fair to estimate that less than one
third Of the lumber produced IN the
State passes through. Elkins, and he
will find that it has meant over!six-
teen million dollars to the State.

A CHAIN OF TR1UMPHs.

Immediately after Senator Elkins
entered his seat in the Senate. he
made himself man of mark there
by calling halt to the infamous
Morgan bond steal, whereby the
Cleveland administration was to de-
liver $1oo,O00,OO in onbds to Nor
gan for some tyelve million dollars
less than the public was willing to
pay. Senator Elkins was man Of
affairs and he kne wthe real value of
those bonds. He pilloried the deal
before the public notice, and after
hammering away for some time got
the deal called off and the bonds
we're sold for s12, 100000 more
than Morgan was to have given.

Possibly, the Democratic papers
will also say the tax reformers did
not make good on the assessment of
telegraph and telephone companies
and the cypress companies. But
the figures do not bear out such as
sertions by the Democratic papers.

has announced that the telegraph
and telephone assessments were fix
