When one looks over the army OF
employees at the state house he is as
founded. Particularly be is surprised If
he Is msn who never before looked
into the building where laws OF
West Virginia are enforced. 1.e cannot
make up his mind as to the reason for
the remarkable army Of people who
are employed TO do the work OF the
state. He remembers when the men
at the capitol did real work aud
each employe had his time taken
up with real work that was needed In
the transaction Of the business Of the
state. He scratches his head and
wonders why they are used. Hethinks
of the increased revenue that Is needed
TO run the government part of the
state and he thinks the economy
should be the order Of the day. He
considers the reason which In advanced
by the people who are defending the
republican administrations of the af-
fairs of the state, as the excuse FOR the
additional expense Of the state, that
the state is growing ond consequently
more expensive to run. He thoughtful
~ thinks that there 10 discrepancy
in growth between state that has in
creased nineteen per cent in popula-
ton and two hundred and fifty per
cent In population aud two hundred
and fifty per cent in the expenses of
government, and he has great deal
ofstrouble 10 conceive the logic by
which such things are argued to he
right.
He sees that the number OF employees
at the capitol has increased SO much
that 1t now requires four or five times
the number of men to do a certain
amount OF work that it did some
years ago, he Thinks and he thinks
and he cannot get the reason into his
poor overworked head until suddenly,
out Of the past there floats the remem-
branee of story that George Byrne
once told, and be kpows the reason
fer the big salaries, the increased mum
Der of clerks and aids and messengers,
he KNOWS why they are necessary
and why the people of West Virginia
are taxed as they are, tue reason is
clear. This is the story:
Geo. G. Cole was insisting that Sam
MONTGOMERY withdraw his objection
to n solution to allow senate en-
ployes extra per diem of dollar OF
two according 10 the amounts OF the
regular pay. Sam Montgomery was
making decided objection on the
ground that the pay was excessive.
~ am opposed to giving them
more" said Montgomery. They have
been very well paid for all they have
done this winterl'
"Yes," replied Cole, "but we are not
paying them for what they have done
this winter; we are paying them for
what they did last campaign. -

free List Not For the Consumer.

Washngton-Senator Bailey, in his
speech In the Senate yesterday on the
|tsrin, pointed out that the large i'm
ports pointed to as Stree" under the
Payne-Aldrich law consist principally
Of free raw materials imported as an
additional bounty to the manufacture
ers whose product is $50 highly pro-
tected.
The importation of hides had been
doubled, Mr.. Bailey pointed out.
"Placing hides on the free list has not
lowered he price of shoes,n be said.
mo sane man ever thought it " ould."
| Both sides of the chamber, he charged.
should be heartily ashamed of the re-
peal Of the duty on hides. Those who
believe IN protection ought to grant
protection to the cattlemen as well as
| to the manufacturers, "Nor," said Mr..
Bailey, "Csn any Democrat excuse
his vote for free hides, because under
our theory Of tariff for revenue only
/ the man who imports hides should
+ pay hislshare. Repeating the duty on
: hides is one of the absurdities of this
new tariff. If Senator Lodge We're
here would have more 10 say about a
Massachusetts protectionist clamoring
for free trade
Senator Bailey warned Repu blican
high prote"'io"is's that the immense
and iucr"} jeg annroprlatlon are re-
iuciug the difference between the
Democratlc tariff for revenue ana the
Fmodern Republican tariff for protec-
| ton. "Nith hiIlion-dollar sessions of
Congress and the gearing up of Gov
eminent expenditures, it is now nee
essarv to collect not less than $780,
100000 annually from customs to keep
'he Government going. Under that
necessity said Mr. Bailey, "a Demo-
cratic Congress would lay tariff for
revenue that would be higher than
anything ever dreamed of by the ear
ller pTotectionists. )"

in their affection, four cases Of typhoid
fever having recently developed in the
family. They are James, Maggie, Henry
and Virgil, the Oldest son, James being
about II, and from that on down. James
has been dangerously i'll, and is in a pre-
carious condition, but hopes are still enter
tanned for his recovery. During the past
year there have only been three or four
cases of this disease in the town, and the
physicians are somewhat at a loss to know
what caused it to develop in this family.
They can only account for it from the
fact that some weeks ago young man
named J. F. Jones, from Laurel, who
was just up from a spell of fever, spent
the night there, and it is believed that
the children contracted it from him.

1t is not infrequent that newspapers
find themselves unappreciated by the
men whom they have favored by their
support column after column being
published in their favor, and yet such
favors, when the test comes, are unap-
preciated. When you find your home
paper taking no interest in you or your
success, when you find it keeping ag-
gravatingly silent when you think the
editor should be tearing his linen in your
behalf, do not work yourself into fever
of anxiety as to the cause; just ask your
self wherein have you placed the paper
and its editor under obligations to use
space and energy for you.

A Canadian parliament was lately
warned that the country was at the
mercy of the American fleet on the Great
Lakes. This kind of talk serves no good
end but to stir up feeling. The American
conquest of Canada is one of those bogies

with sawdust. The United States desires
nothing of the big British colony but

The American apple at its best has
long been recognized as one of the
most healthful and appetizing of fruits.
1t now has a new claim of public favor.
An Iowa physician, prominent member
of the National Medical society, alleges
that appIe-eating cures the desire for
strong drink. Apples themselves have
been used to produce cider, and the
"hard" variety Of that beverage has of
ten been regarded as fairly powerful
alcoholic stimulant. But if eating apples
is a check upon desire for intoxicants ii
would seem that bane and antidotc are
combined in the same product.

entire vicinity over, the search being
continued for twenB-four hours, the dead
body of Mr.. Rush was found mile and
a half from home on the bank of creek,
