and another amusing game is expec-
ted.

On Sunday, April %, the firemen
of Pullman were able to win from
the printer-barber combination and
it has SO elevated their opinion OF
their own ability as ball players that
we feel it our duty to reduce the size
Of their heads so that they can wear
their last years Panama hats.
Therefore, we, the has-beens of
Pullman, challenge the firement to
play a game of ball at the city
grounds, Sunday, May 14th, neither
side using a player that has parti-
cipated In a game in the Inland lea

In harmonious chorus. the Wheel

newspapers closest TO the Watson and

credit the efforts OF Governor Daw-

While neither of these agencies has
had the courage TO come out in de-

lar will in opposition TO the enact
ment OF primary legislation. each has.
at every opportunity. taken surrep-
titious thrusts at the plan, and have
said enough to convince the thinking
man that there will be no primary
legislation II the WatsOn-Chliton in

RUSSIA AND THE JEWS.

A subject that is likely to come be
fore the extra session OF the legisla-
ture. and which may be probably com
sidered without conflict with the Gov
ernor'sNtall. Is the continued discrim-
ination OF the Russian government
against American citizens OF Hebrew
birth. Many legislatures have adopt
ed memorials 10 the Congress OF the
United states. and to the State De
partment. asking them TO take steps
TO stop the continued persecution OF
American Hebrews who become resi-
dents OF Russian ports. Under the
treaty Of amity between the United
States and Russia. every American
citizen is guaranteed the rights OF res
idence and OF business pursuit in any
Russian city. and the same courtesy is
extended 10 Russians In this country.
For many years Russia has deliberate
ly excluded Jews from the benefits OF
this treaty, and an American Jew
whose forefathers have lived here a
century or more will find the doors
OF Russia shut against him when he
attempts to visit Russian city. or t6
transact business therein. From the
American standpoint there Is neither
reason OF equity in this discrimina-
ton. II IS n relic OF barbarism. an ev-
idence Of despotic fanaticism that
ought not TO exist in any civilized
State. and ought not to be tolerated
by any civilized and Christian country.
Persecution OF the Jews IS a part OF
Russla's policy. with the internal and
domestic affairs OF Russia We cannot
interfere. but so far as our own coun-
try Is concerned. We can make Il clear
that as a Christian and civilized ma
ton We protest against any discrimin-
alton against any Of our citizens on ac-
count Of their race or their religion.
The West Virginia legislature may
be asked 10 adopt a memorial on this
subject. and n 50. IL can hardly fail
70 follow the course taken By other
legislatures In the country and add
the weight Of its endorsement TO a
movement that deserves serious con

ponents OF DR.. HaslIins' reelection
can find no substantial argument to
use against him. Regardless OF per
sonal differences OF any kind. fair
minded people who study the record
will be convinced that the administra-
ton of the city's affairs during the
past two years has been efficient to a
high degree. Revolutions have not
been worked. Wheeling has not been
made into a model city. That happy
condition OF affairs will not be reached
this side OF the millennium. but effec-
tive and economical administration
has been introduced into all the i'm
portant department OF the city gov
eminent. Whatever may be said con-
corning our streets. they are cleaner
and better kept than ever before. Our
water plant operates regularly and ef-
ficiently. An abundant supply of
water for manufacturing and domestic
purposes has been furnished constant
ly. Expenses Of the gas plant have
been reduced. improvements have
been made and that department OF
the city's activities Is on sOunder
basis than for many years. Great
savings have been made in the expen-
ditures OF public money. and the city's
finances are in good shape.

most notorious in debauching the cleo
torate and the representatives OF the
electorate in West Virginia. What
they have done is recent history too
outrageous TO be overlooked or for
gotten. West Virginia has been scan
dalized. and every honest man in the
State. Democrat or Republican. from
Hancock % Mcdowell. believes that
her highest Offices and highest honors
have been deliberately sold and
bought. To end this sort of thing at
once. and to end the domination OF a
corrupt combine that in no sense rep
resents the people OF West Virginia
is one OF the objects OF a primary cleo
ton law.
Bugbears may be used to fight the
children. The slippery Bill Dawson"
fiction may deceive few people who
wish TO he deceived, but the very
large majority OF the people OF West
Virginia have too much sense TO be
imposed upon by such transparent de-
ception The real opponents OF a pri-
mary election law are the Watson
Chiffon combine and their following.
and the real reason for opposition is
not Mr.. W. VI. o. Dawson. or anyobdy
else. but the fact that an honest pri-
mary election law will destroy their
control OF the Democratic party in
West Virginia.
