Waiting Issue

Secretary Shaw is predicting some
dire things for posterity when our
present economic policy shall have
Welded it's legitimate and inevitable
fruit. According to MIR. Shaw,we have
so hammered our manufactures that
nearly everybody with money is build
inc mills and making goods, wares,
and merchandise until the home mark
Of is nearly glutted and a time is at
hand when some of these Establish
ments will have to close down ana
turn their labor adrift 10 swell The
ranks of the disseminated and the des-
perate and MAKE the demand for state
socialism mure clamorous and more
formidable. Lord Macaulay said the
same thing about us in more brilliant
phrase some fifty years ago.
The Secretary would guard against
the dismal consequences he predicts
bv establishing a series Of free zones
for our manufactures, to allow them
to make cheap goods for foreigners,
while continuing their monopoly OF
the home market. But what will that
avail? Does he propose that those
wares. so cheapened, shall be sold for
cash only? That is impractlcaoie, Tor
trade, foreign trade, is the exchange
of commodities, and II we sell abroad,
we must buy abroad. five buy abroad,
that uptrips the monopoly ofthe home
market. and the bottom is out Of that.
1.-THE Democratic party were not
asleep or on journey, or had not
married Populist wife, IL might get
an advantage out Of Mr.. Shaw's warn
ing. 1t is rsplste with the Democratic
arguments Carlisle, Mills, Morrison
Turper, and Tucker made such good
use Of, and that resulted in the splsn-
did victories Of 1890 and 1892, but to
ind tariff reformsrs, with their coats
off and slssves up, one must now seek
in the Republican ca p, where are
stationed Gov. Guild, Gov. Cummins,
Senator Spooner, Senator La Toilette,
Senator Dolliver, Mr.. Mccall, and
others of that ilk.
The Democrats are giving such stand
patters ~ Senator Aldrich, Speaker
Cannon Gen Grosvenor, Mr.. Dalzell, and
Uncle Hepburn no concern; but 1t is
evident that the Repub lican clamor for
tariff revision will make them walk
the floor at inauspcious hours of the
night before the Sixtieth Congress shall
be warm in it's seat
What an opportunity 1t would be Tor
the Democratic party if it were wide
awake, at home, and divorced from
that harridan it yoked with dozen
years ago. There are the issues-State'
rights, tariff reform, retrenchment-all
waiting for some party to pick them
up and go to victory in their company,

M More Rebates.

General Passenger Agent II. 4. Rid
die of the Cumberland Valley Railroad
was IN town on Tuesday and was re-
turning from Washington where he
had been on official business befor e
the Interstate Commerce Commission
and while here called on the secretary
ofthe Inwood Park Company and in
formed him that the road under the
new rate law can not pay rebates, in
the future, of any kind or character.
The C.. V. has in The past enjoyed
tremendous excurs n business which
was built entirely OIL he rebating sys-
tenn. All this will be thing of the
past. sCamp meetings will get no re-
bates, the band picnics will get no
more rebates ard the agr cultural fairs
will have TO get along without rebates.
The rebates to Inword Park Co. have
kept it alive and there ia no telling
what will be done with the park.
There will probably be a meeting Of
the stockholders next week to decide
on the matter.
This new law means great deal to
all the town along the G. V. and to
Martinsburg in particular. Besides the
fair thers are the Camp Meetings, the
Daughters of the Confederacy, and the
many large and pleasant plcnics got
ten up by the bands. In the future
these with have to be run without
rehates or not at NIL

Lauds MIR. Baker

Writing in the Saturday Evening
Post of last week, Mayor Brand Whit
lock, of Toledo, Ohio, rays high and
unusual compliment to Mr. Newton
ID. Baker, Jr., son of DR.. n. ID. Baker
Of this city, and a former resident OF
Martinsburg, but now city solicitor Of
Cleveland, Ohio, position Of respon-
sibilitiy and trust that Mr.. Baker has
been repeatedly elected TO by increas-
ing. majorities
The subject Of Mayor Whitlock's ar
ticle is 1.-THE Mayor ofCleveland, and
while the famous Tom johnson is the
central figure in the article, many of
his chief lieutenants, friends and al
visors in his great fights against the
corporations are brought into promin-
euce in The article.
Writing of these men, in close con-
nection with Mayor johnson, Mayor
Whltlock gives brief description OF
their personality and their part of the
great work of reform accom- plished in
Cleveland during the past six years.
OF Mr.. Baker he writes:
'Besides there is Newton ID. Baker,
the lawyer in politics, likewise nov
city because he serves the people in
stead of clients who can pay large fees;
he is the youthful city solicitor, with
the face and the ideals of poet, an eX-
pert il municipal law, who has sue
cessfully advised Mayor Johnson in
his long legal battle with the street
ear corporations"
MIR. Bakers rise to prominence in
his adopted city, and the repeated and
unmistakeaslei Inducements given him
personally by the voters Of Cleveland
cannot but be gratifying to himself and
his friends here as well. The compli-
men1 paid him by Mayor Whitlock Is
a very unusual one in these days Of
graft, municipal rottsnness and boss
rule, and that his enviable position has
been fairly won il amply evidence by
the confidence and respect he enjoys in
the great city by the lake.

Experts are beginning to realize that
one of the biggest railroad Hobbies that
ever swooped down on Washiu gton is
making its headquarters there now and
devoting its energies and efforts to de-
feat number of matters of pending
legislation.
1T is declared that even the railroad
rate legislation last session did not
bring to Washington SO great num-
ber of railroad people as have been at
trGcsed by the hours of service bill, the
measure 10 reduce the compensation of
railroads for carrying the mails, and
tbs l., Follstte measure to instruct the
Int + tat Commerce Commission to
m Ike a .hysical valuation of the rail-
road sy stems of the country.
Thu lobby now gathered there is said
to be somewhat different in character
from that OF a year ago. A that time
it was composed largely of the higher
officials ana special or general counsel,
or attorneys Tor the railroads, who
weIe regarded as experts on the ques
lions OF Jaw involved.
All this time there are more practical
abroad men en- hand and also large
number of minor, railroad attorneys
who have political Influence in theiI

was prolonged for six weeks before tht
