 Attorneys in Wransle.
 After a long wrangle with District Attorney Whitman, William T. Jerome, counsel for Robin, delivered the books of the construction company, which he had previously refused to surrender, on the ground that their production might incriminate his client and em- barrass the company. They were lock- ed up under seal in the district at- torney's office, to be produced in court later.

 A batch of letters signed Your low ing Louise," and Your son Joseph" were turned over to the district att torney this afternoon by relatives of Mr. and Mrs Herman Robinovitch. re- pudiated by Robin and his sister yes terday. after they had positively iden- tified them as their children. All the letters were addressed in enear1ng terms and most of them asked for money.

 New York, Aug. 31, 1892. My Dear Parents: Please answer me at once if I can have anything of you or something of you, or nothing.

THE MartinSburg World says that Sen
ator Mclntire was one of the most con-
spicuouS figures IN the Legislature, &C
lively engaged in every matter.
This is quite true. The aStute crowd
OF political tricksters from Kanawha coun-
ty who controlled a considerable number
of State Senators found in Senator McIn-
tire a perfect subject. Whenever they
pulled the strings he went through the
motions. He made the noise that drown
ed the creaking Of the machine-he raised
the fog that concealed the real manipula-
tors OF the Senate. The schemes were
formulated by the past masters in Charles
ton who wanted results without personal
notoriety, and Mr. McIntire was the lay
figure that appeared in the puolic eye.
From the time he struck Charleston and
gave out that famous interview stating
that his constituents were tor Watson and
Chiffon, until he made the last bluff in the
closing hours OF the Senate, he was a man
who moved as his real masters at the
State capital directed,-nOt as the people
OF his district desired.
Oh, yes Mr.. McIntre was SO thor
oughly conspicuous that IrreSiStibly we
are reminded Of the brilliant poem of Tom
Pence, the genius of the Tar-Heel State
"De bigger dat you see de smoke,
De less de fire will be;
An de leaSteSt kind or 'poSSum
Climbs de biggest kind OF tree"

In the United States Senate on Tues
day the proposition TO submit conStitu
tional amendment to the States for the
direct election of Senators by the people
was voted upon, and was lost for the lack
OF four votes. The vote stood 81 TO %,
four less than the necessary two-lhirdS.
Senator Watson, Democrat, OF West Viz
ginia, voted for the resolution, and Sena-
tor Scott, Republican, voted against it.
In all, 80 Republicans and Fl Democrats
voted for the proposition, and q Repub-
licans and 10 Democrats voted against it.
Several Southern Democrats opposed
the measure because OF an obnoxious
amendment that would place the elections
under federal control. Those Senators
who have so earnestly advocated direct
election express their belief that the
measure will be adopted at the next seS-
sion of Congress,

THE WeStVirglnia Legislature adjourn
ed early last Friday morning, after final
agreement had been made on the ap-
preparation BILL The fact is conceded
generally that the work of the Legislature
was disappointing, for many measures
that had been promised by both parties
were killed by those whose private in
tereSts are greater than their patriotism.
Among the measures that persisted were
the primary election bill, the employers
liability bill, the income tax amendment,
the public utilities bill, the production
tax on natural gas, the local option bill,
and others OF more or less public benefit.
Among the measures adopted were the
submission Of the prohibition amendment,
the establishment of the office OF COM
missioner OF agriculture, the same to be
an elective office; the road commission
er's office abolished, revision OF the
game laws, a law providing for automo-
bile reciprocal licenses, establishing a
State tuberculosis sanitarium.
The Senate was the stumbling block
where most of bills failed. 1t is in this
body that the lobbyists and boodlerS and
corporations concentrate their efforts, and
it takes only "a few graiters to prevent
legislation. BY delay and secret opposl-
ton and committee manipulation the Gin
tereStS" accomplished their purpose, and
the people are thus betrayed in matters
OF State legislation as in national affairs.
OR State Senate needs cleaning out,
and a campaign of publicity will eventu-
ally bring it.
The Governor has promised TO call an
extra session of the Legislature to pass
upon some of the measures that failed.
II is to be hoped that he will do this soon.
