" rites Letter to Prominent Martins,
burg Repu bitcan-Mha IL
says on the Subject.

A leading republican of Martins
urg, who is in close touch with what
is going on in othoI portions of the
state, is in receipt of a letter from
State Senator Charles T. Caldwell. of
Parkersburg, in which Mr.. Caldwell
states that his formal announcement
as a candidate for the United States
senate, 10 succeed Senator Elkins,
will be given to the public in a short
time. The concluding part of Senator
CALDWELL letter is as follows;
Il appreciate the kind sentiments
you have expressed for my interest in
your very much appreciated letter. In
a short time / will take pleasure in
sending to your address the platform
on which my candidacy for the Uni
ted States senate is based. 1t will be
addressed to the republican voters of
West Virginia. 1t is not in the old
stereotyped form of announcements of
candidates who aspire to public favor,
but will contain what | will not do if
elected to the United States senate. -
A couple of weeks ago a report was
circulated to the effect that Mr.. Cald-
| we'll would be a candidate in opposi-
ton to Mr.. Elkins, but this was after.
| ward denied. The above statement,
however, will demonstrate that the
report was only premature, and that
the senior senator will have opposi-
| tion before the mex legislature, provi-
ding that body is republican in its
makeup.
AFTER DOVENER'S SEAT.
A special dispatch from C~larkbsurR
says:
w. p. Hubbard, of Wheeling, VITO
is making an active canvass for the
republican nomination for congress in
| the First district, is here and has
been assured of the support of the re-
publican organization in this county.
Mr.. Hubbard says he has positive as.
surance that he will receive the nomi-
nation at the convention, which will
he held in Wheeling next month. b.
b. Doyener, present congressman,
will try for a denomination.

was long time ago. There is no longer
any fear Of any injury which a govern
ment can prevent to the subjects OF
either nation lawfully within the juris-
dictiOn Of the other. The Japanese in
San Francisco are protected by the
authorities and by public opinion quite
as sacredly as the rest OF US.
But we desire TO more OF them. There
are too many here now 1t Is not right
that they should come II they persist
in coming. public opinion in time will
change, ana il will be impossible to pre-
vent trouble. We are convinced that
japanese statesmen will see the reason
ableness of ali this. The only trouble is
in the sordid character of Eastern people,
who would wreck our civilization il there
by they could sell calico, and our pig
headed national administration. which Is
much OF the same character. We have
more hopes Of convincing the japanese
statesmen Of the wisdom OF keeping the
races apart than of convincing Eastern
manufacturers and fool sentimentalists.
We should be delighted to sit down and
talk It over in a friendly way with repre-
sentative japanese not concerned with
ocean transportation nor with contracts
for coolies.

SAN FRANCISCo's ATTITUDE.
Her Reasons for Directing to Influx
of Japanese Immigrants.


From the San Francisco Chronicle
II is unfortunate that the Eastern peo-
pie cannot, or viii not, understand the
attitude of the people Of this coast toward
Japan. During their recent war the sym
pathy of our people with Japan was uni
versal and outspoken, being based on the
outrageous conduct of the coalition head
ed by Russia in robbins Japan Of the
fruits of her victory in 1894, and then
brazenly appropriating them 10 them
selves. This friendly international feel
ing has never abated. although we here
recognize Japan as a deadly commercial
competitor which viii rapidly supersede
us in Asiatic commerce. We admire and
respect Japan as the most vigorous ex-
pOnent Of Oriental civilization.
The objection OF our people is simply
to the establishment Of Oriental forms of
civilization In the United States We
particularly object to a japanese invasion
because, as the Japanese are the most
yirile OF Oriental peoples, their lOdgment
on our shores is by so much the more
=Gagerous. We recognize that Asiatic
peoples are entitled to maintain such
forms Of civilization and such a standard
of life as they prefer in theiE own coun-
try, and 20 exclude. IL they so desire. and
as they certainly did once desire, the peo-
pie Of Western countries So far as we
are concerned they are quite welcome. as
they have the right, under the existing
treaties, to exclude all American manual
workers from Japan. We claim the same
right, and demand that it be exercised.
Nothing can create an unfriendly feeling
among US toward Japan except an effort
to push her people into our country
against our wish, just as our own Com
mOdOre Perry, a half century ago, forced
an entrance into Japan against the re-
sistance Of the japanese. There was no
justification for that except the conduct
Of japanese pirates toward the crews of
wrecked American ships. Any nation has
a right to demand of any other nation
hospitality to shDwrecked sailors. To
the extent Of securing that. only, was our
intrusion into Japan justified. But that

etate Commerce Commission, speaking or
the car shortage which the commission.
presumably at the direction of President
Roosevelt. has requested the railroads to
alleviate. Here is delightful inconsistency.
The roads are asked to remedy car
shortage which Is not primarily lack
of adequate car capacity at all. The
great trouble is that there is such con-
gestion at terminals that the inability TO
have cars uDloaded promptly has reduced
toe service which the roads actually get
out of their ca7E 10 an average Of about
twenty-five miles day in actual trans
portation.
1t is not the fault Of the railroads that
cOnsignees fail to release cars within a
reasonable time. Those TO whom the
freight is consigned cannot in all cases
get labor to remove it promptly, nor do
they in all eases want TO remove it at
once, as the cars are pretty convenient
storage houses in these times Of high rents
for all classes Of buildings.
There is little use in a road increasing
the number Of its cars If the only effect
rs 10 take freight away from the fe-
ceiving point, haul it certain distance,
and then add il TO the blockade near the
point of destination to await its turn at
the terminals. The real need is addi-
tional terminal room and side tracks, but
these can only be supplied at very great
cost. the prices at which property is held
in some of the great cities being indeed
prohibitive. II a railroad undertakes 70
increase its capital valuation for the
purpose Of adding 70 its terminals or
trackage facilities the railroad commits
sioners want TO know" and just as soon
as they are made acquainted with the
facts, up goes the price OF property in
the sections Ia which the road wants 80
buy. What is needed Is TO give the rail-
roads a free hand. If given this they
viii in time get in shape TO handle the
business Of the country adequately. but
It viii be utterly impossible for them to
do so the coming winter.
