Walker For The State Senate

The Berkeley Springs News puts for
ward Col. Stuart w. Walker, of Mar
tinsburg, as a candidate for the seat in
senate to be vacated by John j. Corn
wele' and Mr.. Walkers friends In
Martinsburg have taken up the move
with every evidence of pleasure. MI.
Walkers magnificent vote in Berkeley
covnty when he ran for congress was
pretty strong evidence that few DEM
ocrats are more popular there and if he
should accept the nomination for the
senate he would probably break the re-
ord for a big vote.-Winchestsr Star.

West Virginia is represented in eth
United States Senate by two Republ :
cans, Stephen B. Elkins and n. Il.
Scott and yet the Republican governor
of the state sends letter to Senator
Tillmau, a Democrat, from the old
assesesh state" of South Carolina TO
get the fact before the Senate that the
railroads own and are running the state
to their own interests without regard
to the interests Of the state or its citi
zsns. This seems really an appeal from
the governor to the people to elect
Democratic legislature so Demo
crat may succeed Mr.. Elkins.

The general public has long been I'M
der the impression that newspaper ed
itors and publishers, were riding over
the railroads free of charge, but such
has not been the case. Each year the
railroads have been making contracts
with the newspaper along their lines in
which agreed to give the newspapt two
thousand mile books and reasonable
amount of trip tickets, in exchange for
running the time table and reading
notices, advertising eXcursions&c. Under
this arrangement the newspapers have
been getting about $50 in transporta :
ton for about $3.50 worth of work, but
they have kept faith with the roads
and have faithfully done the work.
Now under the new order from Mr..
Cassatt, president of the Pennsylvania
Railroad and the big boss of all the
roads in the east this arrangement is a
thing OF the past, The newspapers are
now expected to pay their way and run
the time table free of charge and TO be
paid for small amount of reading
notices of excursions &C. This is the
whole story of the newspapers and
their free passes and we publish this
statement that the public may know
why the newspapers are not publish
ing me B. Il o. time table. The big
boss, true to his character wants to get
Ill lie can from the newspaper for
nolhng and against this the newspaper
hay, r-belled. He has way of whip
ping everything and everybody into
line and everybody is now waiting to
see what move he will take to meet the
necessity of the time tables in the news
papers The public damands it and
the newspaper have resolved that they
will not give it unless they are paid by
the railroads. The Statesman would
not under any circumstances advertise
for merchant without proper Day
and it is not going to do for the railroads
tlat which it will not do for the mer-
chants.

LaGRIPPE AND PNEUMONIA

but never follows the use of Foley's
Honey and Tar. 1t cures lagrippe
