Mr.. Rainey, the lone Democrat from
Illinois, in recent speech in the
House on the iniquitiss Of the existing
high protective tariff, stirred up the
animals in great shape. "There are
no leaders on the majority side of the
house, sa id Mr.. Rainey. "Fhe real
leaders Of the Republican party are the
McCurdy's, McCalls, and Hamiltons,
the Rockefellers, who skulk behind
stone walls to resist service; they are
the real lea iels of the Republican party.
The Democratic party needs no leaders
he exclaimed, "for every platform

long as that sentence is emblazened on
the party's escutcheon, no leader ia

A deal has just been made by the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad of gigan-
tic proportions and involving million
o, dollars. 1t was the sale Of its hold
ing jim the great Consolidated Coal
Company. The capital stock Of the
Company is el0, 25O, 600 and the Bal
timore and Ohio has held more than
fifty per cent or majority of the stock
and controlled the company. In the
face Of this revelation can it be won
dered at that independent coal opera
tors have been discriminated against?
Would the Baltimore and OHIO rail-
road be so unselfish, 30 generous, as
to sacrifice their own business to help
their competitors? The history of her
career is too we'll known for people tn
think, no matter what representations
they may make, that the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad would hesitate at
such q small matter as violating the
law to squeeze competition out of ex-
istence.
Martinsburg statesman. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1869-1906, 1906-05-04

Mr.. Hugh l.. Bond Jr., vice-presi
dent of the b. & o. who carried on the
transaction on the part of the Il. d u
for the sale of its stock in the Consoli'
dated Coal Company, said that he well
appreciated the fact that no matter
how vigorous might be the denial that
the deal was not the result of the pre-
sent Interstate Commerce Commission
investigation, it would not be accepted
by everybody in good faith
Mr.. Bond is exactly right in this
matter. Who could believe any such
denial? Could anybody believe that
the recent decision of the Supreme
court, to the effect that common car
riers have no legal right to own or OPP
crate companies whose products they
haul, cut no figure in this transaction?
Does anybody believe the railroad
would have paid Maryland any divi.
dends on her stock in the Washington
branch or have offered to buy her in
terest if the Maryland legislature
had not begun forcing up the lid? we
suspect that Maryland could have
named higher figure than she got and
forced it from tue railroad before the
railroad would have suffered the rotten
ness in that transaction to have been
uncovered.

past twenty years enjoyed gradual
steady but substantial growth and pro

The numbers of new industries estab-
lished here in the past twenty years
has brought to us good, thrifty
and desirable people adding several
thousand to our population. Let us all
who live here and love the dear old
place put forth renewed efforts to help
along the good work and we do not
know Of any way in which we can
contribute more to the cause than In
voting for the Democratic candidates
for mayor and city council at the COM
ing city election. The gentl.m who
have been nominated are all good bust

There is considerable revolt in the
Republican party in West Virgins
against the Dawso n ElkiRs machine
The in surgents are going about the
prepar Itions of vigorous campaign
with elaboration and judgment. They
ar, staring paper in Wheeling to
promote and cultivate the spirit of re
volt in that populous centre. They al.
ready have one in Moundsville, one in
Parkers burg, two in Fayette county,
th9Gibraltar of Republication and two
in Charleston. They are now well
l,repa red for long, bitter and deter
mined fight They propose to fight
the Dawson machine and to oppose
the reelection of Senator Elkins who
has allied himself with the Dawson
faction.
The men who are at the head of this
movement are men of ability. They
have means, they have the backbone,
they have everything that is needfuI
for hard fight and when once the
campaign is on there will be lively
TINES in West Virginia. There will be
an effort throughout the state to have
men nominated for the legislature who
will oppose Elkins' reelection. The
fight will be carried to the last ditch
and will be marked, figueratively, with
mary bloody noses and broken heads

There was general meeting of the
various companies composing the Fire
Department of Martinsbu.g at the
F'iremen's Hall on Monday night. The
fire chief, Mr. w. r. Kline, being out
of town Capt. Joseph Matthews Of
Ryneal No presided. Commissioner
Max Rabnson made short speech to
the firemen upon the Importance of vo-
ting for the additional levy of 10
cents at the coming election for fire
purposes. The commissioner urged
that rs the question was not a party
question but purely one Of business all
persons could vote and work for the
measure with the consciousness that 1t
was for the good Of the city He stat
ed that the organization of the de-
partment was equal to amy and SUI
perior to many in the country and is
SO pronounced by the underwriters
a ssociation. Their equipment is all
that could be desired but that it 10 inn
possible for the council to renew the
needy water mains and maintain the
department in its present organiza-
ton with the present revenue and that
the law forbids any increase in the
levy unless voted for by at least three
fifths of the voters of the city. He
clearly pointed out the danger the city
is now in by reason of the weak and
insufficient watermains in different
sections of the city. He also stated
that it is estimated that the additional
levy would yield about four thousand
dollars which would this year pay the
expense of renewing the water mains
and maintaining the department.
The com missioner looks at the ques-
ton in a business way. His position
is surely for the good Of the communi-
ty and he should have the support of
the voters of the town without respect
to political lines. Organization and
equipment means nothing if we have
no water which condition is not only
possible but probable at any time we
may have nre.
Had the council been permitted to
sell the unused water right at the Big
spring when they had the opportunity
the proposed additional levy would be
unnecessary but now since the sale
was hindered and delayed it looks as
if the opportunity is lost. The present
levy is only sufficient to meet the cur
rent expenses Of the city government
with rigid economy. The council has,
by good business methods, been able to
keep the town going and make some
needed improvem ents on the levy that
has prevailed for years, but to make
such expensive Improvements as re-
newing the water-mains is possible
without raising the levy.

After Senator Tillman's colloquy
with Senator Hopkins the former sent
10 the clerk s desk the article written
by James w. Breen, and printed in
the New York Herald, relating to the
matter in which the national banks
were assessed for the benefit of the re-
publican party Senator Aldrich OBJ
e tied to having the article read, saying
that he thought the senate knew the
contents of the article, and that he had
rex! it himself. "Perhaps," said Mr.
III ian; 'that accounts for your in
d:h renee TO haNin. it read again"
The article was then read by the clerk.
Mr.. tillman called attention to the
ii that long ago he had urged the
imittee on elections to act ON his
bill regarding the contributions Of ma
I nal banks, but that the bill still
hangs fire. Senator Lodge demanded

comm endatiOn from prominent men
{" d among them was one from Sena-
tor Knox and another from Vice Pres
ident Fairbanks. Senator Knox took
the floor and declary sd that Mr. Breen
was person of thorough reliability
MI. TiIlman said that there was some
thing yet uncovered worse than any
thing that had been revealed in CON
nection with the insurance scandals.
He had letter fIom a New York
bank to the effect that if committt e
would subpoena Walter NJ. Anthony,
auditor of the republican national
committee, it could find out exactly
who contributed to the last campaign
fund.

Just another word about the Japs'
those pioneers of Eastern progress, W no
ran great war so cieverly and wisely
that to this day only such information
as they desired to have made public
has ever reached the world.
The Londen newspapers are COM
planning because, while the allies of
great Britain were given every Oppor-
tunity to learn the construction and
fighting qualities Of the Dreadnought,
the newest and greatest lighting ma
chine ever launched, the Japs have
not played fair. AT Kure a l9,000-ton
battleship, speed 81 knots an hour
is being built. And Great Britain
knows as little about the ship, accord
ing to the English newspapers, as do
the Chinese. There have been no in
Vitations TO inspect, test, or consult
plans. The boat is to be a japanese
fighting ship, and it is dollars 10 sea
biscuits that the English never will
know enough about the new destroyer
to hurt them.
Why complain?The Japs have learn
ed that war is a selfish game; that ma
tons are allies today and enemies to-
morrow, and that treaties and alliances
were ever formed 20 be troken.
1t is a Japanese trait to learn as
much and tell as little as possible. 1t
was a characteristic that shone all
through the late war, and il helps win
battles.
Uncle Sam might take leaf out of
the book of the brown men across the
