BACK AMONG THE OLD FOLKS.

The reception accorded DR.. Booker
T. Washington by the citizens OF
Charleston, both white and colored
attests the high esteem in which he
is held by the people among whom
he spent the early years Of his life.
West Virginia in general and the
Kanawha Valley In particular are
proud of the magnificent record he
has made in HIS landable endeavor ia
better the condition of the Negro In
America. and the attention he at
tracts here on every public appear
ance and the eagerness with which
his utteranees are received place
him easily among the top-notchers
of West virginia's favorite sons.

MIR. BRYAN'S ECONOMY.
(From the Washington Star, indie

FROM tne W aShlngLOn star, lnQe-
pendent.) 80.
Economy is a good cry, but to be
effective it must be illustrated, 80 to
say. Particulars as to extravagan~
ces complained Of and as to promised
retrenchments must be given.
This is the difficulty with Mr.. Bry-
ans latest campaign deliyerance. 1t
is not sufficiently specific. Appropri-
ations have grown. But so has the
country. The army and the navy are
costing more than ever before. But
they are doing more than ever be-
fore. Would Mr.. Bryan halt the
|country's growth? Would he reduce
the army to the old skeleton figure,
and stop all additions to the navy.
Let US see how that sort Of re-
trenchment would work with the
Bryan policies In force.
The peerless leader would have US
haul down the flag Immediately in
the Philippines, turn the country ov-
er to the natives, and warn the out
side world to keep hands of as to the
| native control But what would
such warning be worth in the face
Of the continued growth of the naval
power Of other nations and the decay
OF our own? What power Would

THE boss is turned down.

"7NHE boss is turned down"
This startling news few
lightning fast to every quarter
+ A. of the organization and in its
wake spread trail Of incredulous
amaze. Every member, from alderman
to "heeler," knew why Horrigan had
made Bennett mayor. That the latter
should turn against his benefactor
seemed not only black ingratitude, but
something akin to insanity, for it ap-
parently spelled political suicide for
the young man.
While neither of the disputants had
repeated the details Of the quarrel, yet
those details with many another were
already passiEg f1UG. mouth to mouth
in the mysterious fashion whereby the
closest kept secrets are divulged and
enlarged on. In the financial world
too, the veto came as a bombshell

that campaign he rigidly followed.
His first step was to send for Perry
Wainwright early in the morning fol-

plain the whole complicated affair to
that very bewildered young man.
