RESOLUTIONS.

We declare this is time for rejoicing !;
an occasion for Fluctuations and congrat-
ulations
Nationally. we point with pride and
proudly proclaim a period of prosperity
practically proof against panic.
The chief reason and prime purpose
for the existence of government the
theory on which government was insti
tuted among men the idea of a need of
protection of the rights of the feeble
against the greed and rapacity of the
powerful is no longer a theory, but the
policy and practice OF our present adj
mlnlstration. Indeed the power of plum
derinR plutocracy is restrained, and the
rightsof the innocent are preserved.
We heartily commend the present ad
ministration, including West Virginia's
entire Congressional delegation.
We especially approve the energy and
efficiency NJ the Hon. james A Hughes
and instruct the delegates here appoint.
ed to attend the Congressional conven-
ton at Huntington April 9th, to cast a
solid vote in said convention for his Ie-
nomination.
AS TO our State administration, we
feel full ASSURANCES that our fellow coun.
ty men must all stand in close sympathy
with us, irrespective of former or pres
ent party relations.
The beneficient operations of the
Dawson Tax Laws are so plainly appar.
ent that we in confidence tender a broad
and cordial invitation TO all our fellow
citizens as follows: "Come and 90
with us, and in the language Of Holy
Writ, we will do thee good" We there
fore, with heartiness, endorse our pres
ent state administration with special
emphasis on our new tax system and
pledge oar earnesC support TO the same,
with such notifications and amend
ments as justice and equity, in wisdom,
may from time TO time be proper.

They seem TO be having trouble in
Mobile too, if We may Judge by the
following lament from our esteemed
contemporary, the Mobile Register:
Any one who remembers the time
when COWS rOamed the streets of
Mobile at will, and made a pasture of
the residence districts, will know that.
when the council gets hold of the
street work there will be fifteen opin-
ions as TO where paving shall be laid.

were a powerful influence in the
eighties; and we do not suppose the
council members have gained any
great amount Of backbone since that
day. We shall have paving by initia-

and NOT in the interest of the people.
We can not believe that the Standard
would pay $4,000 or any other sum
OF money to secure the enactment OF
legislation in the interest of the peo-
pie, or to produce the defeat of any
measure in the interest of the trusts,
of which the Standard is the head and
front. Nor can We think that any ser
vice performed by a senator, as ''attor-
ney" or otherwise, which can not be
made public, is LEGITIMATE service,
Foraker had to represent as senator
Company. 1t is not conceivable that
he could represent both satisfactorily.
The people may and doubtless will.
draw their own conclusions. And we
hardly think such conclusions will be
creditable to Foraker as a public ser
want.
The charges against Senator Bailey
and Representative Sibley' are not en-
tirely new. Bailey has faced the
charge of STANDARD Oil contamination
before And no one has ever accused
Sibley of being a representative of the
people.
The entire matter is a disgrace to
the senate of the United States, and
a glazing exposition of the evil of the
present system of electing United
States senators. 1t will probably have
the effect of eliminating Foraker as
a political factor in Ohio, and may re-
suit in the state going for Bryan. But
it does not rid the people of the other
attorneys" in the senate, nor does it
prevent representatives in the lower
house from accepting retainers for
legal services"
1t puts Foraker in the list of "unde-
sirables," along with Hopkins, Long
and Ankeny, but it does not prevent
other ''undesirables" from going To
the senate, or those now there from
thwarting theN wishes of the people.

far removed from ward politics.
So far as the widows cow is con-
cerned, Pensacola is right now where
Mobile was twenty years ago, and as
for street paving we have not yet been
able to get a city council with bust
ness judgment enough to hire a lawyer
to draw street paving bill that will
hold water.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
widows COW can do as much damage
as anybody else's COW, the animal is
still permitted to roam the streets,
Craze on private lawns, trampIe down
and destroy private flower beds and
attempt, and make impossible any
attempt at identifying either private
premises or public places.
Notwithstanding also that four at
tempts, covering a period of eight
years, have been made to get some
street paving done in this city, not a
brick has yet been laid and any ap-
proximate date for starting the work
is yet one of those nebuIous things
that no one outside of a city council
man can comprehend
If Mobile can get paving-either of
the crazy quilt" variety or any other
kind-she ought not to kick. We I'M
derstand she has got rid of the
widows COW at last, and she will at
least have the paving. We still have
the COW without the paving.

PENETRATE
MYSTERIOUS AIR
The Workers Simply Hang
Around Headquarters and
Look Wise-Don't Know
What's Doing.

BY J. c. WeIIiVer in Philadelphia
Times.
New York, Sept 19.-Mixed up
somewhere in the management of this
campaign, on one side or the other,
there may be a first class political
genius; a Quay or a Hanna, a Tilden
or a Whitney. a Van Buren, of JEFF
ferSon or a Buchanan. But thus far
this genius ex machina has utterly
failed TO emerge and claim the recog-
milton which will be ready whenever
he will make himself known.
In truth, the management of the
campaign on both sides is not at all
pleasing to the old timers of politics.
You can find a bunch of them around
the Metropolitan building any day
shifting at these new tangled methods
and trying to penetrate the air OF mys-
terry which has settled over the estab-
Iishment.
What they want is to find out
whether there is really anything be-
hind the veil of mystery. They
thought for while that there was;
but IatterIy they have been doubtful
Across Madison Square, at the Hon.
man House, there is just the same sit
uation. The mystery isn't so preten-
tious perhaps, but there is all the mys-
terry which can decently be maintain
ed in connection with so modest an
establishment.
Gossip relates a lot of curious
things about both committees Mr..
Bryan selected Norman Mack for ma
tionaI chairman on the democratic
side, and the story is that Mr.. Bryan
has vetoed various proposals which

WHY SHOULD MR.. BRYAN
BE ELECTED?

BY Peter Stanley.

The question: Why should Mr.. Bry-
an be elected president of the United
States, is easily answered.
Mr. Bryan should be elected to this
high executive office because he has
educated himself for the duties of the
Office, and stands today above any
other citizen of the United States, in
point of ability, to fill the presidents
chair as a true representative Of ma
jOTity of the people of this govern
meRt
This answer is apparently simple.
yet il digs deep into the reasoning
power of a conservative thinker. and
the facts asserted can not be truth
fully denied.
Mr.. Bryan has spent a great deal OF
time, and money honestly earned. in
making a deep research into the du-

would have served to get into the
managerial harness some of the eX-
peTienced politicians
So when it came to making an or
SanizatiOn for the East it was neces-
Sary in d mild way to buncO Mr.. Bry-
an, and that is just what is said to
have been done. Bryan had no OBJ
lection to HUdspeth for eastern man
ager, but he would never, never. have
consented that James R Nugent
nephew of Senator Smith, be made
state chairman of Jersey-if he had
been given the chance to pass on the
matter But the thing was skilfuIIy
set up and deity pulled OF before
Mr. Bryan had a chance to protest.
For Mr. Hudspeth it must be said
that he bears all the earmarks of d
thoroughly live one. He has a cam
mind and is getting at work on ii
without delay
Critics of Chairman Mack say that
he is handicapped at two vital points.
First, they charge that he is afraid to
buy a postage stamp or pass the time

learning whether Mr.. Bryan will like
