Repudiation Convention.


silas P. Smith, veteran editor, is
about to institute through the West
Union Record, a Democratic news
paper of which he is editor, state
wide movement on the part of the
Democratic party to repudiate the
action of the Democrats of the West
Virginia legislature in the selection
of United States senators. In this
connection his utterance as follows
indicates that a state convention OF
Democrats to act on the subject is in
contemplation:
Some early action must be taken
il the Democratic party is to stand
favorable before the people of West
Virginia next year."
MIR. Smith does not mince words
in condemning the action OF the leg
islature nor does he hesitate to de-
nounce Messrs. Chiffon and Watson
in a most significant manner. Read
IN part what he says as follows:
The three so-called Democratic
newspapers that are willing to en-
dorse this crime OF the selection Of
a corporation millionaire, who does
not represent Democratic principles
and who has not been lending aid to
the party, are the Fairmont Times,
owned and controlled by the Watson
Interests, the Wheeling Register,
dominated by corporation influence.
and the Charleston Gazette, owned
i'by Mr.. Chiffon, the chief beneficiary
of the abominalble alliance which re-
suited in casting this blot on the
party in this state in opposition to
the expressed will of the party.
las the Record now views 1t there
is but one thing for the party in this
state to do in order to he able to
stand before the people in the next
election. and this is to repuduiate
the action of the forty members of
the legislature who Drought this
upon US, and do It now. In doing
so we want Men.
God give US men that money can't
buy,
Men who have faith and are willing
to try,
Men who have honor, virtue and
power
God give US men! is the cry Of the
hour"
As to Mr.. Chiffon the Record has
little to say at this time, but is
sorry his record is not Of the best
Aside from the charge OF his being
a party to theiungodly alliance which
deprived the party of the privilege
of carrying out its pledges TO the
people, he mist bear the charge Of
being corporation lawyer, associ-

an explanation.
i learned that ii was the custom Of
this store to keep its customers In
formed, outside OF their advert!s-
ing, of new things that come in that
they think will suit the individual

That is giving service out Of the

1t is a little courtesy, little at

appreciated.
1t is mighty good business to do

This incident is recited to give d
suggestion to merchants who want
TO keep in personal touch with their
customers. is 1T not good plan

1t is impossible. of course, for
any store to call up every customer

that, but cali up some sof them

Senate May Act.


The brazen and defiant refusal OF
the Democrats OF the legislature TO.
investigate charges OF bribery in con-
nection with the election of United
States senators in this state recently
may not end the matter. The
United States Senate itself may act.
The Wheeling Intelligeneer recently
contained the following Interesting
editorial along this line:
In the Intelligencer yesterday APP
peored communication from an old
line Democrat from Elkins, w. Va.
in which was voiced some of the in
dignat!on that is fell. in every cor
ner of the state at the result of the
Democratic senatorial caucus.
The Intell1gencer has heretofore
reproduced comments from substan-
tiai Democratic newspapers of the
highest character, all of them indi-
eating the belief that the senatorial
caucus was Influenced by bribery
and dominated by ibrfbers. Express
sions upon this subject are not few
or isolated. They have been many
and have come from every section Of
the state, In spite of the corrupt
conditions at Charleston, there
seems to be no disposition on the
part Of the Democratic leaders to al
low such an investigation to be
made. On one pretext or another,
delays after delays have been SCI
cured, and it is clear that there is
no serious intention TO go after the
exact facts. IF the West Virginia
legislature will not act in this mat
ter there is tribunal that may be
induced to act. That tribunal is the
Senate of the United States. On
charges no more circumstantial and
no more authoritative than those that
have been made by Democrats in
West Virginia relative to the DEM
ocratic caucus. Senator Lorimer. of
Illinois. is now in danger of being
unseated by his colleagues in the
Senate. Mr.. Watson has taken his
seat, but that does not mean that
he will retain it, nor does it neces-
sarily mean an end to the charges Of
corruption that have been 50 yigor-
ously and SO generally made. When
great state has been outraged,
when gross injustice has been
done, something more than soothing
syrupis needed to check popular an
ger. Ii Charleston will not act,
Washington may.

Love of Morl,.

Do men like work? This question
is now being investigated and dis
cussed in a scientific way by stu
dents of labor conditions in this
country and England. The answer
that naturally and promptly pre-
sents itself to people who have not
given the matter special thought.
says the Indianapolis Star, is that
men do not like work. never have
and never will. Tradition, sacred
authority. common assumption and
an inherent love of ease and idle
ness in the individual support this
view. Was not the necessity OF
earning his bread by labor placed
on Adam as curse? From that
day to this, has not toll been
counted one of the burdens OF hui
mainly, burden not to be avoided,
but surely never welcomed or
loved? Are not would-be reformers
constantly considering plans for
Tightening Labor, for shortening
working hours? Are not poets and
other writers continually lamentins
the tasks that must be done and
looking forward to the time when
there shall be more of them?
There's an end to all toiling some
day-sweet day.
But It's weary the waiting, weary.
OF course men do not like work.
but yet, is that quite true? InI
spite OF tradition and the natural
human disposition to idleness, does
not love of work come to man?
Does not the Labor habit create a
liking for labor? Certainly it does in
the case OF vast number of tollers.
those, especially, who have freely
chosen their occupations and have
not been forced into them by cir
cumstances. 1t is the latter class,
however, that the scientific investi-
gators are considering-unskilled
laborers, factory hands, skilled, but
handling only small part of a
given article day after day and never
seeing the completed product.

ASYLUM GRADUATE
ASKS FOR DIVORCE
W. d. Squire Alleges Wife
Caused His Confinement.

Alleging that Harriet Frances Squire
his wife, on August q last, caused him
to be taken from the United States Naval
Medical Hospital to ST. Elizabeth's S,
against his protest, where he was con-
fined until January Is last, when a jury
pronounced him to be of sound mind.
William Henry Squire, a chief carpenter
in the navy, yesterday filed a suit for
limited divorce from his wife.
They were married March 19. 1889. and
there are two children. Squire declares
his great surprise when, on January 6,
a petition of his wife was served on him
asking that an inquiry be made as to
his sanity. whereas she led him to be-
lieve at her various visits to the hospital
that she would have him released, know
ing him to be of sound mind.
The plaintiff AYERS that he sincerely
believes it would be unsafe for him to
live with Mrs. Squire as her husband,
that he feels his life endangered and
that he suffered all the mental anguish
and horrors of a sane man confined in
a lunatic asylum, with insane people as
companions, for about five months.
Plaintiff declares that he owns a house
in Philadelphia, which was entirely paid
for by him and was in his name. >and
that while away on a cruise defendant
made arrangements to sell the property
and purchase a larger house, and that
this was done with the distinct under
standing that the property was to be put
in his name, which agreement, however,
his wife has not carried into effect.

ASK NEW NAME FOR
CHEYYCHASE CIRCLE
Plan to Honor Memory of
Former Senator Stewart.

The friends of the late Senator Will
| lam NJ. Stewart are making every effort
to secure, before the adjournment of
Congress, the passage of the resolution
introduced by Senator Nixon changing
the name of Chevy Chase Circle to Stew
| art Circle. and placing in the reserva-
ton statue in honor of the late Sem
| ator. The resolution provides for board
Of five sculptors to be chosen by the
Society of American Artists. the So
ciety of American Sculptors. the National
Sculpture Society, the Secretary of War.
and the Joint Committee on the Library,
this commission to select the best design
submitted.
This movement to erect a statue and
designate Stewart Circle is due to the
prominent part which Senator Stewart
played in the development Of Connecticut
avenue. He purchased ground by the
acre in the vicinity Of Dupont Circle,
which is now selling from S to s12 per
square foot, and erected a palatiai resi-
dence in Dupont circle at time when
the building seemed almost in the coun-
try With Senator Sharon and Judges
Hillyer and Sunderland. he became in
terested in the property along the lines
of Connecticut avenue extended, and was
instrumental in securing the interest Of
the present Senator Newlands, who rep
resented the Sharon estate, in the enter
prise Maj. Armes, who still retains his
residence in Connecticut avenue extended,

development to Senator Stewart's atten-
