Hunting Accidents.

Hunting accidents are now being re
ported and their number will nc
doubt steadily increase as the season
advances. Many lives are sacrificed
yearly in the pursuit of this sport,
simply because of the carelessness of
those who engage in it. The man who
mistakes another human being, FIRE.
quently his friend, for a deer or some
other animal, and blazes away, is still
in evidence much to numerously. Like
wise is the hunter who climbs over a
fence with his gun cooked and who
accidentally" discharges it to his own
or his neighbours hurt. Then there is
the hunter who on his return home
forgets to unload his gun and leaves
it where some person who thinks it is
not charged experiments with it with
fatal consequences. There are unfor-
tunately a lot of persons who call
themselves sportsmen who really are
not fit to be trusted with firearms. 1t
is those who are mainly responsible
for the appalling list of so-called acct
dents II might be a good thing if
before a man were permitted to go
forth on a hunting trip he was re-
quired to satisfy some competent au-
thority that it was really safe for him
to be at large with gun.

AS a result of the Presidents visit
to Panama there has been another
change in the management of affairs
of the canal and the canal zone Mr..
Shonts is given supreme direction of
affairs with others of the commission
as a cabinet, each member heading a
particular department. This will give
Mr.. Shonts the authority possessed
by a president of corporation and
make him responsible for the general
conduct of affairs. 1t is to be hoped
that this plan will have satisfactory
results. The object to be attained is
the most vigorous and effective work
on the canal. If Mr. Shonts cannot
secure this, then someone else will
doubtless be substituted for him.
Probably the President will have some
important recommendation to make to
congress concerning the administra-
ton of the canal as a result of his
visit to the isthmus. If they seem
calculated to advance the work our
National lawmakers will probably be
inclined to approve of them and to
enact the necessary legislation. The
great bulk of our citizens are ear
nestly DESTROYS of seeing the canal
completed at the earliest possible day
nd will welcome every move calculat-
! d to secure that end.

AN IMPOSSIBLE TRADE.
From the PIttsburg Posi-.

From the PittsbuTg Post
It Is hardly likely that there is any
substantial foundation for the report
that the British government has pro
posed to that of the United States the
exchange of Jamaica and Newfound-
land for the Philippines. Some such
idea might have been advanced un-
officially because Of the dissatisfac
ton existing in the two British col
onies, but it is doubtful If it could
have received any authoritative sane
ton. The people of Jamaica have
not of recent years prospered under
British rue and many Ct them be-
lieve that If their country were an
nexed to the United States it would
be greatly to its business advantage.
In Newfoundland, however, the dissat-
isfaction with the British government
is because Of the latter agreeing TO
concessions to American fishermen to
which the islanders object. Annexa-
ton to the United States would Of
course give our fishermen much great
er rights in the waters of Newfound-
land SO that the idea of Joining their
fortunes with us would hardly be pop
ular with the islanders.
AS to the Philippines we would be
unfaithful to ourselves and to the peo-
pie of the island if we transferred our
sovereignty to Great Britain or any
other nation. When we relinquish
our control the supreme power should
be given into the hands of the island
ers themselves To this we are pledg-
ed not only by the professions Of our
government, but by every considera>
ton of right and justice. Our only
excuse for being in the island at all
Is to improve the condition of their
people and to increase their liberties.
There would be no guarantee OF either
object being accomplished if we trans
ferred the sovereignty to some other
foreign power.
Should we attempt to make the
trade indicated, doubtless there. would
be strong objections not only FROM the
people of the Philippines, bute"from
Spain. Germany and Japan. Our own
citizens also would make plain their
disapproval of any such barter and
sale of rights of the various peoples
Immediately concerned in the deal. II
the report of such a transaction IS
merely sent out for the, purpose OF
sounding public sentiment, the re-.
Spouse is surely to be strongly adj
verse to any such arrangement as to
insure that the matter will never be
taken up seriously by the state de-
partments of the United States and
Great Britain.

REQuIEScAT in PACE

From the Washington Post.
We note with regret, though not I'M
tempered by joy, that our esteemed
contemporary, the Ohio Penitentiary

fulness, in a field unfortunate and low
ly, it has closed it's final forms ana
rests with other honored dead in the
great newspaper graveyard.
For many years this bright and at
tractive little sheet has been regularly
issued from the Ohio penitentiary by
the inmates. It's offerings were often
bright, frothy and cheery-more often

by the prisoners exclusively and its
articles were signed, not by names,
but by numbers. 1t was the prisoners

the folding of the sheets. 1t was known
to worldwide fame as curiosity in its
way.
Sad as was its demise, the reason
for it's untimely end cannot fail to
bring us joy. 1t has given up the
ghost because there are no newspaper
men in the penitentiary any more
no one to write the copy, set the type
feed the press, or fold the papers. If
only one all round newspaper man
was there, he could do it all, of course,
but from wall to wall not newspa-

The setting apart of a special day
for the encouragement of the school
libraries and of another special day for
special instruction in West Virginia
history and geography is a most ex-
cellent idea, rejecting much credit
upon the executive ability of State SUI
perintendent Miller.
The impetus Mr.. Miller has given
the Library movement has resulted in
the number of volumes in
school libraries from few thousands
to nearly two hundred thousands.
This is real practical educational
work. A taste for good literature is
being cultivated in children at an age
when it will become firmly rooted and
be of lasting benefit.
Special instruction in West Nir-
ginia affairs is also of practical val
ne. There are many school children
who can name and locate the rivers
of Abvssinia and Thi5et, but would
be lost If asked to name the counties
through which the. Elk, the New, the
Cheat or any other important West
Virginia stream flows.

Our friend, Mr. Boyer, seemed to be

near as many votes bought this time
as there were two years ago. But this

One of the very first things the new

From several interviews given out
by leading democrats Of this state,
one would judge that democracy is
considerably on the wane in this com
monwealth. 1t seems that two factions
are opposing each other; one being
led by Chiffon and the other by John
r. MeGraw. The result of these fac
tons will doubtless be disastrous TO
their party But aside from this. what
has the democratic party to offer the
people of this state It's opposition to
tax reform has forever relegated it TO
the rear. When the honest and hard
working farmers see that their taxes
have been reduced, and know that this
reduction was brought about by the
republican party, they will vote for
their own interest. The time has
come when the democratic whip fails
to drive the party men into line when
they know it is against their own in.

change was needed in the management
of the affairs of the county, and they
wisely concluded so. Outside of the
courts administration of county affairs
the election machinery for the next
four years at least will be in the

CHOLERA OUTBREAK IN MANILA
Four Americans Stricken with Plague
and One Has Died.

Manila, July 4-Cholera of virulent
type has broken out among the natives
Of Manila and surrounding provinces.
Four Americans in Manila have been
stricken to date, and one American has
died. His name is Charles sheehan,
.Twenty-one cases and sixteen deaths
were reported to-day. The provinces
report twenty-six cases and twenty
five deaths. The disease is Of the most
deadly type
The suburbs near Fort Mckinley
have been quarantined. There has been
one death form cholera among the sol
diers, that of a cook, Christian G..
Dwight Of Co. G, 10th infantry.
The health bureau is taking every
precaution to prevent the spread Of the
disease. IA circular has been distrib-
uted among citizens, warning them of
the danger, and requiring that precau-
lions be taken, While the situation is
serious, the health officials do not look
for an epidemic of great proportions.
The greatest difficulty is experienced in
getting natives to report cases of sick
ness, The FIlipinos fear the health Of
ficials, and are concealing cases from
them. To this cause is assigned the
spread Of the disease
