Tax System Endorsed.

Democratic papers are gradually
awakening to the fact that they were
in error, when they preached the doc
trine in the last state campaign and
since that the new tax system would
drive and had driven capital out of
the state and would prevent and had
prevented it from coming into the
state. Also are they now admitting
that these new laws are not retard-
ing developments. The Charleston
Gazette. the capital oracle of Democ-
racy. is the latest to make such ad-
missions and it does so unreservedIy
in the following taken from its issue
of Tuesday of the present week:
1T is a noticeable fact that much

wllllame,s YieIory sIgnilIeant.

There has been lot of objection
among the Democratic members OF
the lower house of the Congress of
the United States to John Sharp
Williams as the minority leader, ow-
Ing to the claim that he has been TOO
conservative. Such rampant gem
tlemen as William Randolph Hearst
have been on the point of dethron-
ing or dislodging him. But, now
comes along the State of Mississip-
pi, which is known to be fearfully
radical, and he Is Endorsed for Uuited
States senator. That certainly
means that the South is becoming
less radical than the North so far
as Democracy is concerned, for it
was the North at the instance of
Hearst that objected to WiIliams's
conservatism. This fact, too, is
likely to impress the North as
Democracy in the South is what
keeps up the Democracy in the North
and, therefore, there must be a
change of attitude by the Northern
Democracy, if it hopes for the
Democratic party to make any re-
Spectacle showing.
Williams as is we'll known is not
from his northern political breth-
rem on the free trade principle. He
stands for a certain amount of re-
vision of the tariff and no more. He
does not want to destroy 1t and its
good effects. And being Endorsed
by popular vote in one of the large
States of the South, he is the personi-
fication of what the South at heart
really stands for. Also the South
being the effective factor in the DEM
ocratic party, indeed, its main stay
and it's life, northern Democracy
must adjust itself to the principles
Williams promulgates. This being
true there can be no radical steps
taken by the Democratic party, If It
would be consistent with its main
constituent parts.
Again, Williams says 1t is impos-
sible to repeal the fifteenth amend
ment. He says it will never be
done He made part of his cam
paign on this and won. AS the
leader of the Democracy in Congress.
Williams stands for his party on the
principle that the fifteenth amend
ment will stand, and thus that issue
is eliminated.
Indeed. the election of Williams to
the United States senate means so
much to Democracy that it will take
months for 1t to awaken to an
actual realization of the significance
of the result of the campaign in
Mississippi.

different parts OF this state. and the
large number OF charters issued to
state corporations are indicative of
the progress that is being made in
West Virginia. A great deal of
capital from out of the state is rep
resented in some Of the ventures, and
advantage is being taken every day
OF the chances for developing the
states resources, building railroads
and electric roads, etc"
The Gazette being at the seat of
state government, where charters are
issued, which fact means develop
ment in a very large degree, is in
position to speak authoritatively in
the matter and other Democratic pa
pers not so familiar with the at tual
situation should read well the les
son given by the Gazette.
All West virginians who have the
interests of the state at heart con-
graduate the Gazette for Its honesty
In this respect and rejoice that it
has furnished other Democratic pa
pers the truth, corroborating what
true Republican papers have con-
tended all the time.
This ought to largely take from
the Democratic faith and platform
its objections to the laws which are
Intended to benefit the masses, but
It also rebounds to the credit of the
Republican party, for it is an open.
unmistakable admission that the Re-
publican party was right in advocat-
ing and passing these new laws and
confession just as unmistakable
that the Democratic party was wrong
in opposing them.

The attorney general of West vir-
ginia has responded to the demand
made by some that, the people of the
State should have full information
as to the proceedings in the old debt
suit now pending in the United
States supreme court by publishing
a book of five hundred pages, giving
every bit of information as to all
that has been done on both sides Up
to date That ought to satisfy
those who imagined there was some
thing secret about the proceedings
and to those who have sought to
make the impression that the State
was doing nothing to protect the in
terests of the people in the suit
matter Attorney General Mays ac-
ton is certainly worthy of high
commentator.

indicate that the county court has
made up its mind to restore the old
order OF things, Notwithstanding the
fact that reports are being sent out.

There is keen disappointment on
the part OF newspaper or two in

selected tie sort of block to be used

always did do so, but those papers
hoped It would not this time so they
could set up a howl Well. they
got fooled nightly and 1t is little
they are saying just now on the sub
ject. They are not free enough in
speech or thought to commend the
council for following the example Of
former councils in the matter.

And, now it is said Weston is
undergoing the experience Salem
had. when there was no saloon
there. Some people, lot of them,
must have intoxicants to drink, and
do not hesitate to drink them inside
of box car or in the bushes or under
the bridge, or any OLD place. even in
drug store. If it is to be had at all
either by rail or stage coach or any
other old way. Just SO they get 1t,
and, after they do. get it in this Sc
cret way, they usually take as much
as the opportunity affords, and little
wonder is 1T there should be disor-
der afterwards like it used to be at
Salem.

Pa. and an unidentified man. Among
the injured are three daughters of

Bling, of Pittsburg, and Robert
Michelton, of Emlenton, Pa. One

the time of the accident was walk

Kiskiminetas Junction, where he had
been on business and had arranged
to board the train there and join his
