HOPE FOR THE ERRlkG.'

One would hardly think 1t. but Il
Wheeling newspaper has been found
that Is ashamed of the whiskcy hlsi-
ness and 1t enters n mild protest"
over having Ohio county classed vita
Fayette: and Mcdowell ms entirely sat
urntctL It sounds so good to hear the
News speak oven "nlillly" for the
right In trying to place the part OF It's
county. which is not to be classed with
tFnyette and Mcdowell. in the proper
light, that we let 1t speak. The News
says:
A representative OF the Anti-Saloon
league. talking for publication for tho
benefit of the Intelligent reading pub
lie of Huntington. says that OHIO.
Fayctte and Mcdowell are the only
counties in the State that are wet all
over. In other words. In these three
counties man can get license for a
saloon at any point within Llelr
boundaries.
We don't know as to Fhyette and
;McDowcll. except to object mildly to
including Ohio in such company. but
we Ito know that the gentleman Is
|erroneously informed ms to conditions
in this county. License win not be
granted in 1t for every point. License
cannot be obtained in the villages of
Woodsdalc. Eigwood. Pleasant Valley
or at any point for. thrce-mllc
stretch OH the National road. nor at
Warwond. I4ovclnnd. Glennova Or any
Island. too, has been dry MS long MS
the State of Maine. anil with the en-
cuption OF Charleston Is the largest
populated single community without a
saloon In the State.

The Harrison county teachers pro-
pose to nominate the candidates for
county superintendent of schools for
both the Democrats and Republicans
anil thus remove the Office from poll
tics. The newspapers Of Clarksburg
are unwilling for the teachers to do
such thing and our guess is that 1t
will not ibe done. The teachers may
think they would have smooth sailing
In milking nominations but they would
find a little politics at every turn when
nomination time came. If the teach.
ers look after the schools properly
they will have enough to do. The peo-
pie can be trusted some yet even In
selecting such important officials as
county superintendent. AS has been
suggested. tae people elect Presidents
OF The United States and there Is some
politics in the elections, too.

THINKS COMMISSIONER
 WILL DO GOOD WORK
Commissioner StOnernan EX- presses His Views of Rail
 road Body'S Mission

TUCSON. Arizona. March 25.- George J. Stoneman, attorney at law Of Globe, and democratic member of the Arizona railway commission, was in Tucson Monday, and after spending the day there on legal bus mess departed for Phoenix where he VII have an interview with the gov ernor also members of the commis- sion, who are awaiting his arrival at the capital.
 Mir Stoneman was appointed on the commission as the attorney as re- qIired by the bill. and at the same time he fills the posit.o on of democrat ic member.
 The appointment of Mir. Stoneman has given universal satisfaction throughout the territory. He is rec ognized as one of the leading mem bers of the Arizona bar, a conserva- tive. leyel-headed man, who can be depended upon to do his duty fear lessly and impartially as he sees it.
 Mir Stoneman a few m nutes before his departure was interviewed and said:
 "I was completely taken by sur prise when I received a cCmmunica-
 
 appointment as a railroad commis- siOner for the territory. 1 have not yet read the bill and am somewhat in the dark al present regarding the dut.es imposed upon the commission CTS. l am going Co Phoenix to look into the matter. I have not yet fully decided that will accept the appoint ment. My acceptance somewhat de bends upon my investigations at ! Phoenix. In justice to myself, l do not feel that ] could afford to aban- , don my law practice in Arizona for the soie purpose Of serving as rail road commissioner. but f it is possi- ble that l can give some of my time Go my private practice and at the l same time serve the commission and the public as well, I would be inclined to take up the work. I believe the l commission can do good work in Ari- zOna, although it s not clothed with ! executive authority. ! do not know what the plan of action Of the com 1 mission will be, and as said. hard l " know Sbat the provisions of the l bill arc at this time

Immigration Commission of Cochise County Answers Many Inquiries As To SuI- phur Springs Valley

Prospective immigrants to this sec ton of the west secure no exagger ated reports of the conditions here from Coch.se eounty's immigration commissioners. Ed Williams.

 TheTe has of late been much work of this nature for the commissioner to attend to. Especially have inaui res concerning the broad acres of the Sulphur Springs valley lcured upon him. This valley during the past few months has been filled with hundreds of settlers from farther east who have come in to take up hOmesteads under the liberal provisoins of the government.

To those who have but little means and expect 10 de Ipend upon what they raise on the land he has written sensible letters, advising them that f they are desir- Ous of coming that they may take up the land, but in the meantime secure emplc yment that will enable them to subsist.
 Ii Is unfortunate tAat these state ments are not true in so far as some of the real estate agents of the coun try are concerned Population and land transactions are what they are all after, and in getting them some ol them are not celebrated for the ac' curacy of their statements.

RESURRECTION IN
 HOUSE IS MILITANT
Republican Insurgents and Democrats Will Not Be
 Subdued

WASHINGTON, Mar. 25.-Like e South American revolution, the in surrection in Republican ranks in the house refuses to be subdued.
 While there is no apparent indica. ton of any movement on the part of the insurgents to reopen their fight is it known no rule to limit of amendments 10 the tariff bill has been brought in because of the un- certainty of Intentions of Represents tive Mardock of Kansas and the other insurgents.
 It is understood the rules commit zee is merely awaiting a favorable opportunity to bring in a rule which will limit the changes in the Payne bill to committee amendments This rule, which probably will be pre- scented before next week. will not shut off the reading of the tariff bill under the five minute rule, but is proposed as a means of preventing unnecessary delay in bringing about its passage as several Republican members have announced the intention of forcing records on certain proposed amend ment.
 It may also be the purpose of the rule to prevent such votes from being taken.
 The proposed rule would be op- posed by a large number of Repub- iicans and Democrats. alike, but as 1t would jrevent votes being taken for the purpose of putting members on record with regard to certain scbed- ules it might receive the support Of those Republicans who desire to offer amendments to the bill.
 Champ Clark and the minority members of the ways and means com mittee have announced their intention of opposing any duty which will tend 10 limit the offering of amendments.
