Democracy Alarmed.


Various Democratic newspapers
since the election have been engaged
in trying to impress upon their party
the grave responsibilities that rest
upon 1t in this state. The tone OF
their articles indicates that they
view with alarm, at least great un-
easiness, the probable course of
those who have been chosen to
power. 1t is apparent that they
have just ground for their uneasi-
ness, considering the wonderful de-
velopment of the state under Repub-
lican rule. The West Virginia stu
alton causes apprehension not only
at home but outside the state as
well. An instance of this outside
fear is told by the connellsville. Pa.
Courier, in the following editorial:
Political unrest ran amuck in
West Virginia, too. The emotional
citizens of the Mountain State. I'M
mindful of the influences which
have made them prosperous, have
chosen four Democratic congress
men out OF five and elected a Demo-
cratic legislature which will choose
a Democrat to succeed Senator
Scott.
At the close of the Civil war West
Virginia was for the most part a
wilderness. Its chief possessions
We're mountains of worthless land
and mountains of debts. 1t is true
its mountains we're filled with coal
and other valuable minerals and
that its magnificent timber tracts
represented more wealth, but they
were undeveioped, and yielded no
income. They would have been
more profitable to their owners
had they been located at the North
Pole. As it was they made their
owners land-poor. The taxes ate
the latter up and many immense
tracts were sold for trifling sums in
taxes.
= Under the beneacent Republican
policy of protection. capital went
into Wdt Virginia, built railroads
and developed its coal and timber
resources. incidentally oil and gas
were discovered and developed.
West Virginia grew in population
and in wealth. Her people became
prosperous and enlightened and with
their changed conditions they
changed politics. West Virginia,
once Democratic like the parent
state became Republican for much
the same reasons which make Penn
sylvanla so.
1t is difficult to understand why
West Virginia people should feel
that political change would be in
any manner beneficial to them, nor
why from any public point OF view
they should desire IT. 1t is possible
that those who have sold their coal
and timber, and have laid in the
bank sums which under Democratic
undevelopment they had never
dreamed OF, may see no harm in Il
change; but the people who bough.
their property and are now develop
ing it, or preparing to so, have just
cause for apprehension.

The Registrution Lnw.

Conditions of which the Wheeling
Register complains in reference to
the registration Law as found in
Ohio county existed in this county
to some extent. and there is general
belief that some changes could be
made 10 advantage in the law. The
Register comments as follows:
One plain duty which confronts
the next legislature OF West yir-
ginia is to amend the present regis
iration law in such manner as to
eliminate the defects which were
disclosed in the recent election. A
registration law which DISTINGUISHES
any legally qualified voter through
no fault OF his own should be re-
pealed or altered. Scores of well
known citizens OF Ohio county who
have lived and voted in the same
precinct for many years. found upon
going to the polls last Tuesday that
! they had not been registered, and
they were therefore deprived OF
their right 10 vote. 1t may be argu.
ed that they should have hunted up
the registrars for the purpose OF
making sure that their names were
properly entered on the lists Of
qualified voters: hut II it is neces.
sary to hunt up the registrars befor,
every election, it would be a simpler
and more satisfactory method to re-
quire the voter to appear in person
for registration, instead of the pro
vision which places the duty OF list
ing the voters upon the registrar.

say whether or not the laws SHOULD

safeguard his right to vote; but that
plan Would be preferable to law
which disfranefises well mentioned
legal voters Il they fail to chase IN
competent registrars all over the
district in order to get peep at
their books. The present law re-
quires registrars to copy names
from the old books, but If seems
that some registrars cannot even be
trusted to re-wrle names without
emitting some and making gorgeous
blunders in others. The enactment
of a better registration law is one
of the reforms which the people ex-
pect of the next legislature.

into a Ridley Park house q dirty. dis
reputable looking dog. He was Of nc
particular breed. but 4 general mix
ture Of all there are. Out Of the kind
ness Of her heart the cook gave him
few bites to eat. and from that time
on, try as they would, the family could
not get rid Of the canine. The small
children took great fancy to the dog
and named him BLUE. Their father
and mother grew tired Of seeing BLUE
around and secretly plotted to get him
out Of the way They feared to kidnap
him openly by day, for there would
surely follow much protest and distress
on the part Of the children. According
~ plans were made for losing BLUE
