The special session of the Leg
islature is at last ended; after the
public purse has been finally ex-
hausted, 1t, like the Arab of old,
folded its tents and silently stole
away, leaving behind it nothing
to show that it had ever assembl-
ed, except depleted treasury.
The question comes to us as to
why it was called; for what rea-
son has this expenditure of near
ly $50, 10000 been made? Why
in this time of financial distress,
when the well-to- do man is poor
and the poor man is almost a
beggar, was it deemed necessary
to place this burden upon the
shoulders of a people, already
over laden with taxes? Who
was the instagator of this beauti-
full scheme. At but one mans
door can the charge be laid, and
he is VIM, M. 0. Dawson. Piqu-
ed and affronted because the
Supreme Court dared to reverse
his course with tax reform,
and thereby impede the progress
Of his heretofor smooth-going,
well oiled Machine, and thus
place a stumbling block in his
march toward the Senatorial
Toga. He, with the aid of his
Faithful Friday, c. w. Swisher,
has placed this additional expense
upon the tax paying pubic, The
Special Session has accomplished
absolutely nothing; it has done
nothing which the people wished
to be done, and refused to do
what the people requested. How
much longer DO we intend to en-
dure this state or affairs; 1t has
always been, and still is, our con-
tention that the only way by
which orr taxes can be reduced
is by decreasing our public ex-
penSes, and that that was the on
" true tax reform. For fifteen
years, Dawson, that Sir Galahad
of Tax Reform, and his coterie
have fattened their purses from
the Public Treasury, We have
asked for relief from the noun
tain Of taxes laid upon us, and
he has responded by piling ossa
upon pelion. He has gathered
around him corporation LAWYERS
to devise rev methods for laying
more taxes, and has sent his
enissaries into all of the counties
Of the state TO find more proper
ty to tax. He is the only man,
who has ever sought to prostitute
the Office of Governor of West
Virginia, for the upbuilding of a
political Machine, for his person
al advancement. But we believe
that he has run his course: that
the people are awakening and in
tend to throw off his yoke. and
re-instate themselves as their
own masters; that they are
