Taxation Without Representation.

We very heartily approve of the
editorial fiom the Morgantown
Post-Chronicle which We quote be.
low. it is timely and sensible.
The people of West Virginia are
neither intell'gently or sa,isfac,or-
lily represented in the state senate.
and they ought to rise up and de.
mand change in the present avs.
TEN, SO that they can have sena.
tors of their own choosing instead
OF being represented by men foisted
upon them by corrupt corporations.
The editorial We refer to is as fol.
lows:
"Two senatorial districts of
west Virginia consist of five coun-
ties each. Under our system the
ten counties have only four sepa-
tors TO look after their ipterests in
the upper branch of the State Lepis-
lature. Six of these ten counties
can have no representation from
among their own citizens in our
State Senate.
DIX other districts consist of four
counties each. Twelve of these
twenty-fOur counties are ALWAYS
without senatorial representative
from within their own borders.
These eight districts contain thirty.
four counties, and only sixteen of
them have the privilege of sending
their own citizens to any upper
house of any one Legislature. The
other eighteen are disfranchised IN
the state senate.
The remaining seven districts
consist of three counties each. and
seven OF these twenty-one counties
are always in the disiranohised
group. in some Of these three.
cornered districts the rotation plan
makes 1t impossible for the same
senator's to serve two consecutive
terms, so that the cou lties of these
districts are hardly ever represent.
ed by an experienced statesman.
In others of these seven three cor
nered districts some one county so
dominates the situation that it prac.
icaiiy hogs the entire representa-
ton, claiming one senator from
among its own citizens every lepls-
lature and carrying a kind Of poll
tical mortgage on The other, by
reason of its preponderance of vot-
ing strength in the general election.
No wonder that senate thus
constituted it unresponsive to the
popular Will, that 1t is disposed to
take orders from the lobby and
from the managers of the political
machines rather than from the peo-
pie. The only way to get a salts
factory senate is to elect one sena-
Tor from each county. Under such
a system both brancf es of the legis-
Iature will represent all the people
OF the state. Such a system ac.
cords with the principles on which
our form of government is estab-
ilshed "-Shepherdstown Register.
The above is certainly a sensible
article and we heartily concur in all
1t contains. a change IN the pres
ent system is needed and and need
ed badly.

CHANGE IN SCHOOL METHODS.
Consolidated Temples Of Learning IL
Now the Order.

The old country schoolhouse Of not
so long ago will soon be relic of the
past" said James Tighe of Altoona,
Pa, according to the Washington Post.
Although one travelling through the
country sees many of these old fash
Toned structures, he does not realize
that they are rapidly being deserted
and that a consolidated schoolhouse
Will be met with farther up the road.
These new buildings are graded, and
many have several high school
courses, so that one teacher now
teaches only one class, whereas in
the old days the pedagogue taught
everything from the alphabet to Latin.
Or course, the consolidated school
house is not so convenient to all the
children, as they have to go greater
distance, but all of them ride to school
nowadays. The consolidated school
is much cheaper to the community,
and what the farmer saves in taxes he
puts in sleighs and wagons, so that
his children may ride. Pupils can
also remain at their home school
much longer than they formerly
could, and this also is a great saving
We may expect great results from
this change, for the farmers with their
poor schc.,is have turned out some
wonderful men, and they should dc
even better under the new condi'
tiohs.

DIDN'T REALIZE
How Injurious Coffee Really Was.


Many persons go on drinking coffee
year after year without realizing that
it is the cause of many obscure but
persistent ailments.
The drug-caffeine-in coffee and
tea, is very like uric acid and is often
the cause of rheumatic attacks which,
when coffee is used mbitually, become
chronic.

CHAPTER xlII.-continued.

Here, as they warm themselves be-
fore the fire, Tomasso remarks: Il
have little to offer you, dear mistress,
but some dried sleeps flesh"
"Pish! hunger is nothing. You
are alive, dear old Tomasso," re-
peats the girl, as he again
mumbles her hand. Still the
young lady's eyes seem happier
when Barnes. opening his haversack,
throws out cans of preserved meats,
ported chicken and timed biscuits;
also tea and coffee and tin cups and
plates. These being followed by box
of cigars, the American emits a snor
of joy, and remarks: Little Leboet
Is genius"
Immediately all together they go to
work to make a mountain supper.
Soon after as they eat. Barnes re-
marks: This is a mighty curious CO.
incidence. Do you know, old Tomasso
that Saliceti. the young politician
here. the one who is to marry your
daughter, Etheria has sworn ven
delta against me for putting the troops
on your track and getting you shot to
death?"
"A vendetta against you? Well, 1t
was his duty, seeing he is to marry my
daughter, had your soldiers killed me-"
returns the old Corsican, in his simple
way.
A moment after, however, he chuck.

face.
