In another column may be found
the resolutions passed by the sena.
torial convention at Martinsburg last
week. They read to us as if they had
been gotten up by Assessor Smith,
Postmaster Clohan and some railroad
attorney. Everybody knows how
sore the Republican ring in Berkeley
county is that the Board of Public
Works upset that halfway assessment
made last year, and We are surprised
that our Democratic friends permit
themselves to be used by this aggre-
CATION to eth the State administra.
ton.
We cannot think that the sensible
people of this district, especially the
farmers and persons of moderate
means, will give countenance to the
suggestion in the resolutions for the
adjustment of the present system of
taxation-a plan which will surely
decrease their taxes by requiring a
fair valuation to be placed upon the
railroad property. The real estate of
Jefferson county, for instance, was In.
creased under the new assessment by
about 60 per cent, while railroad
properties are increased about 500
cent. Does any sane man, except
railroad bene6ciaries, object to this?
In our opinion, the office of the
State Tax Commissioner is one of the
most important in the State, and Com
missioner Dillon is an official who is
doing his whole duty. He is no more
influenced by the rich ard powerful
railroads and coal companies than he
was by the ring in Berkeley county.
We have the word of perhaps the
most prominent and observant Demo.
orat in this district that the Commits
sioner is an absolutely honest and in
corruptible man and official. The
fact that he observes with the ut
most watchfulness the business of the
counties as it affects the State and
the people is to his credit, and he
ought to be supported in this course,
irrespective of partisan considerations.
It is equally desirable that the Board
of Public Works should see that the
law is strictly enforced, especially
when county officials are neglectful.
The REGISTER usually stands for
party regularity, but we dsprecate
this attempt to use a convention to
pull railroad chestnuts out of the fire.
Such platform will not be accept.
able to the people. and the politicians
who are responsible for it because Of
their own private schemes must be
opposed.
We hope to see Mr.. Silver, the
nominee of the convention. put him.
self straight before the people of this
district. Otherwise there may be
trouble, even if the district is over.
whelmingly Democratic. He is a
worthy young gentlemen, but we fear
that the Philistines have him temper
arily surrounded.

A GOOD deal of interest is being
manifested in West Virginia by the
raid made upon the business men and
property owners of this State by the
insurance companies. Representa-
tives of the insurance trust are now
travelling through the State and fore
ing local agents to put up the rates
to almost con6scating 6gures-the
REGISTERS rates, for instance, being
more than doubled-and a bold at
tempt is being made to compel our
people to pay for the losses incurred
elsewhere. The local agencies protest
against such injustice, but are prac.
tically helpless, as most of the impor-
tant companies are in the trust. and
it will only be by concerted action
that this robbery can be averted.
The Parkersburg Sentinel is authority
for the statement that the average
rate of insurance in Ohio is $l.l6,
while in West Virginia it is $1.66-
and the companies are trying to force
it still higher.
1t seems to us it would be good
thing for the capitalists of West Vir-
ginia to organize fairly conducted
State insurance company. Such an
institution would undoubtedly pay,
and at the same time it would protect
our people from great imposition.
At any rate, relief should be given
the people by the next Legislature by
repeating the laws that give undue
advantages to the insurance trust.

GOVERNOR DAWSON urges the point
that railroad commission for West
Virginia is of far greater necessity
than two-cent-fare law, and We con-
cede that he is right. Lower rates
are now practically assured by the
railroads themselves, and two cents a
mile is bound to become the standard
within short time. There are many
abuses, however, that can only be
corrected by commission with ample
powers, and we hope to see such a
body created by our next Legislature.

VIII Soon Be At Work.

The construction of the California Development Company's mammoth dredger, which has been named "Del- ta," is completed, and all that is needed now is some adjustment of the clutches, levers, and other parts of the machinery to make all run smoothly and respond readily to the manipula- tion of the operator. It is probable that the dredger will be started down the river today.
 Through the courtesy of MT. J. W. Brown, superintendent of construc- tion, The Sun is able to give the fol- lowing details :.-
 The hull is 12O feet long, B feet wide, and II feet deep; the top of the A frame IS 60 feet above the deck; the boom IS l45 feet long and the dip. per hangs !25 feet from the pivot, measured horizontally. The dipper, which weighs 1S,SO0 pounds, holds five yards of earth, and, when all goes well, can be made to raise forty loads per hour. The dredger is equipped with electric lights, having one of 25OO candle-power under the boom and one of 100 candle power on the pilot house. About 3OO,OOO feet of lumber has been used in construction, each of the larger spuds containing nearly 1000 feet. The cost of the machine is about SSO,OOO, The work of construction was begun the 26th of last May.-Yuma Sun.
