was not destroyed, the smoke pene-

seemed next to impossible to remove.

found that by soaking the white

It Is held. by some students Of his

has been wasted upon the Ex-Governor
with the hope that in some way, the
Lord and the Democratic press, THAT
is part OF it, only knows how
the motives OF Governor Glasscock
might be impugned. One charge Is
that since Governor Dawson has be-
come interested in the public print
ing that he wants an extra session OF
the legislature so that he may get
work for his printing presses to do.
The charge is made, and never been
denied, because 1t is too grossly I'M
founded to demand q denial, that the
Governor wants to expend more of the
peoples money in order to benefit
some of his friends.
The idea OF calling special session
of the legislature for the purpose of
giving the state printer work Is about
as brilliant a thought as the one
which would inspire a crowd around a
sorghum mill to pour out a barrel OF
molasses that they might enjoy that
delicious passtime OF licking the foam
from the barrel,
But what's the use to talk about
this opposition to the primary election
law. We all know that those who are
opposing 1t are the ones who do not
want the people to pass on their am
billions, or qualifications for office
That is the long and short of the
whole story. You can preach from
now till the crack OF doom and these
same forces will still work against a
primary election law. II such law
| is passed It will be by the efforts and
votes OF the independent, free thinking
and bravely acting representatives
OF the people who have been elected
and sent to Charleston, West Virginia,
on the Great Kanawha, instructed BY
their party and obligated by the
votes OF their contituants, to give the
people OF this state an adequte, fair
and honest primary election law.
WIN they do It? No not II the news
papers which are harping in unison
against this measure can prevent 1t.
Ex-Governor Dawson 1t is claimed,
and 1t is probably true, has become
interested In the state printing. ii
he has he acquired this privilege by
vlrture oil the fact that he agreed to
do this work cheaper than any other
person or firm would do II, as 1t Isl

ANNEXATION A FALSE ISSUE.
(Philadelphia Record.)

e. NEullhuGlgLlld ASSSOlusy 1891 ri,
The opponents OF Canadian annexa.
ton are proceeding on the theory that
any stick is good enough to beat a
doy with. The issue is not raised in
the agreement with Canada. 1t is.
known TO all that Canada is rather
sensitive on the subject and the
more that Is said regarding the prob
ability of annexation, the more likely
Sanada itself will be to reject the
agreement. Even Canadians who are
friendly to annexation do not propose
to be dragged or pulled into the I'm
ion, and resent the ileao Of annexation
by indirection. In spite Of what the
President said, Mr.. Prince, Of Illinois,
insists that reciprocity means annex
alton because he knows that will ere

plicate the American support, of the
measure.

movement has been brought about by
the petitions and complaints Of the
ENferchanfs' Associations of New York
and other cities. tits to be hoped
that more than an investigation ofsthe
methods used by these companies VIII
come from this movemnt. What i
needed is action that will bring relief.
Ii is clearly shown that the railroads
and the express companies are acting
with complete understanding and
that the ownerships Of the two great
branches of transportation services
are practically the same,-the same
capital owning controlling interest in
each.
When the figures show that six Of
tho leading express companies of the
country can with an investment IN
equipment of only six million dollars
acquire gross income OF one hun

them a profit of $50 per cent, the sys
TEN OF operation resolves itself into
commercial, piracy that should be
dealt with by commission or other
form of government that will put for
ever at end this merciless monopoly
This investigation will put the parcel
post agitation to the front and it may
be the ultimate solution OF this prob
lem. The government is allowing the
Express Trust to do enough business
that should be done by mail to wipe
outmany times the postal deficit that
has given the postoffice departments
much concern. 1t would not only wipe
out the losses to the department but
would provide sufficient revenue to
maintain more efficient service, and
reduce letter postage to one cent.
