D. Porter. elected IN November. died
before taking his seat. Thus three
members have been taken.

Some one stuck under the door Of
the Telegram once at late hour Of
night q notice reading to the effect
that a bouncing baby girl was born
to an unmarried lady and that her
sweetheart recently disappeared.
Then the note stated that mother
and babe are doing nicely. The note
was unsigned. The writer Of 1t Is
evidently a scandal monger or de-
sired for some personal and selfish
reason to hold up to thu world the
fact that the woman in the case had
sinned. This leads US to direct the
writer to the saying Of the Savior.
when the woman was accused before
him. In the present instance the
unfortunate girl is colored and
doubtless the one who wrote the note
is OF the same color. It shows that
there are both white and colsred,
ready to condemn others but too cow
'ardiy to stand out and become them
selves the accusers. 1t Is needless
to say that the Telegram did not and
will not print the unsigned note.
though 1t might be possible II would
have done 20 had the note como
signed properly and AaA Il ssaa
shown there was reason why Il
should be published for the public
good.

Reprlmand From Home.

Those Democrats at Charleston
who have been blocking needed leg
Islatlon in a desplcable and enyious
manner. with their eyes eagerly
turned TO party's sake and closed TO
the interests OF the people, have been
called down BY the Wheeling Regis.
ter. the leading Democratic organ In
the State, as well ~ BY the Repuo-
llcan press.
The Register advises the recalcit-
rant ones very sensibly at follows:
you are expected and obligated
10 do the very best you can for the
whole state In general. and your
own people in particular. Because
some good measure has been propos-
ed by the majority is no sound res-
son TO oppose 1T. The right thing
to do lie to help to the best OF your
ability. Acting the dog in the man
ger is not born Of q sound political
principle or a Just regard for the
interests of the people. Such con-
duet simply dwarfs your personality
and promotes want of confidence in.
and i'll will against the party you
represent. Honesty. nobility Of pur-
pose and an unfiinching determine
ton TO do the right thing by all the
people. are the motives which count;
which add to your own greatness and
increase the general respect and con-
hdence in the party YOU represent. :"
This is directed to the Democratic
legislators in view Of the extra session
OF the legislature and 1t is to be
hoped that 1t will have some added
effect on them and that there will be
no more school boy palitics of the
kind that has seriously lmpeded
work in the legislature towards Its
close. The advice of the Register Is
OF what the Republican
press OF the state has been saying
about the course of the obstruction.

Longer session Needed.

There Is necessity for the present
extraordinary session OF the legisla-
ture. but whether there is warrant
for 1t Is debatable. II will be re-
called that much time was taken dur
ing which apparently nothing was
done though 1t Is claimed in this re-
spect that this was a delay necessary
to permit the committees 10 work
and II Is further stated that nothing
could be done until they did report.
Thus, blame, II there is any attaches
10 the committee for being dilatory
and vet may 1t not be that they ex-
pedited matters all possible to do?
Then. also for purely partisan pur-
poses We saw Democrats and insur-
gents doing every thing possible to-
ward the end OF the last session to
block Legislation and to stay it of In
order that 1t might not be brought
about at the session. In this they
seem to have been more or less sue
cessful and thus forced the governor
to call the extra session.
This situation lmpresses the fact
on the people generally that forty
five days are not enough. in which
to hold the session of the Legislature.
II is seen that the business of the
Legislature scarcely gets under good
Roadway before the end of the time

West Virginia has jumped by leaps
and bounds in Its growth until to

that never before needed legislative

there was not so very much for this

has been transformation in the az

dilemma the session just ended found
itself in emphasizes the assertion
that the time limit ought to be ex

Before the state senate refused I

Before the state senate refused to
confirm the appointment of our ven
cradle friend, Lamar c. Powell. at
Fairmont, as a director of the state
penitentiary. he had well launch
ed boom for governor of the state.
but his friends are now casting his
castor In another direction. They
now seem to think he is out of COM
mission for governor and will run
for the state senate. A little blow
such as Senators Marshall and
Montgomery gave him ought not to
intimidate him so much. He ought
to keep right on running for COVER
nor. The state senate can not pre-
vent that or block the way. as the
people at large have a say in the
matter far greater and much louder
than that body has.
