THE SPECIAL SESSION.

Governor Glasscock has called the
legislature to meet in special session
next month for the purpose of passing
primary law and amending the cor
rupt practices act, but did not fail
to add in his call a provision by which
the senators and delegates may draw
their pay.
This is a step on the part of the
governor which will call forth a con-
siderable amount of criticism. The
legislature was in session for some
time this winter and failed to pass
such laws as the governor asked for
and it is hardly to be supposed that
the same legislators are any more fav-
orable to such action now that they
were a month or two ago.
1t is an expense to the state that is
hardly worth the while, even If the
laws asked for are enacted. If it
would come at some other season CT
the year it might prove a desirable
outing for the members from this part
of the state at least, as they would
draw nearly a hundred dollars mile
age and that would go far toward CIV
ing them considerable expense money
for stay along the Kalawha.
It may be that the governor fhas
assurances that his measures Twill
pass from a sufficient number of mem
bers, but there are many who are an
tagonistic to any measures that are
proposed by the administration and
the chances are that the special SEES
sion will be very short one or one
long drawn out, with nothing accom-
plished in either instance

SAY NEW LAW is INVALID
Attorneys Claim Act Creating New
Circuit Is Unconstitutional.

Morgantown, w. Va, April 18.-A
number of members of the local bar
are CT the opinion that the act of the
recent legislature creating a separate
judicial circuit for Monon gala county
is not constitutional, and arrange
ments are being made to perfect al
test case to be taken to the supreme
court fer determination.
The act specifies that the present
Judge shall preside over the circuit
until after the election of successor
at the next general election. The
present circuit is composed of Monon-
gala and Marion counties, and under
the arrangement, which takes effect
June /, each of these counties wils
constitute circuit. The constitu-
ton provides that Judge cannot hold
two offices and that he must reside in
the district composing the circuit over
which he presides.
The attorneys who challenge the
of the act do so ON
the ground that Judge Mason, the in
cumbent, will be holding two offices
and, as he lives in Fairmont, he Is not
eligible to preside over the court here
Ii the act shall be declared unconsti-
tutional there will be much disap-
pointment among a dozen Marion
county candidates for the judgeship.

WHEN DID THE WAR END.

The exact date of the ending of the
war between the States has been the
subject of much controversy IT has
recently come to the fore again be-
cause OF some action taken by Con
gress regarding claims made for prop
erty confiscated during the continu-
arce OF the struggle. The Richmond
data upon which to base reasonable
deduction.
General Lee surrendered April g.,
1865; Johnston at Durham Station,
N. c., April &c; Taylor at Oitro1elle,
Ala, May G. The battle of Palmito
Ranch, in Texas, was fought on May
10, the victory then going TO the Con-
federates. Gen. E. Kirby Smith did
not surrender until May 26.
The government has decided that
the war ended on June 1, 1865. The
Supreme Court has assigned several
dates as making the legal termina-
ton of the war. 1t really closed at
different times in different States. BY
an act passed March, 1867, Congress
fer certain purposes it then had in
mind decided that the war ended Off
cially on August 20. 1866.
The Birmingham Age1Herald is of
opinion that the battle of Palmito
Ranch was the last and asks: why
then should not that day and that
place go down in history as the final
date and scene of the close of the
great civil struggle?
The Richmond paper says the Bir-
mingham paper may be right about
II. "but it has been our impression
which may be erroneous. that hostile
guns were fired much later than the
battle of Palmito Ranch. Macon

NEW GAS FIELD STRUCK.
Morgantown Rejoicing Over New Ad-
dition To Its Fuel Supply.

Morgantown, w Va, April 49,
Local business interests are much
elated over the finding of am unexpect-
ed pool of natural gas in this county,
about eight miles from Morgantewn.
Within the last week wells have been
drilled in showing a daily product
of about 100000 cubic feet, These
wells are owned by the Globe Fuel
Company and Mississippi Glass Com
pany. In addition to this, Union Utili-
ties Company has purchased the en-
tire production of the Robert Shear
Oil and Gas Company eff Mount Nor
ris, Pennsylvania.
Before these Developments it was
not believed a natural gas supply
would be available here for mere than
five years for manufacturing purposes,
but now it is confidently believed the
supply will last for such purposes for
at least Is years.

THOMAS DEFoRD, APPLE MAN.
Tanneries Make Fertilizer; Fertilizer
Grows Fruit.

An unique enterprise which will
make apples the by-product OF tan
neries will be begun this year at Luz
ray, Va. by the Deford Company,
whose tanneries are at Duray and
Covington, Va, and whose offices are
in Baltimore. The planting OF the
trees has begun, and when they, in
about four years, begin to bear fruit,
700 acres in the neighborhood of Lu-
ray will be covered by the blossoms of
the apple trees and the tanners will
organize an Independent force TO take
care of the orchard.
Thomas Deford, of the Deford Com
pany, has purchased two farms, one
from Oscar NJ. Printz for $4,000 and
the ether from G. T. Long for $4,000.
The company has owned for II years
, two other farms near these, the four
being within a mile of Luray and val
ued at about 100000.
Mr.. Deford explained that the COM
panys tanneries produced much good
fertilizing material, and that it purpos-
ed to use this material to enrich the
orchard lands instead of trying to sell
| it He added that the apple industry
was growing i'm Virginia, and need
! less to say since his company had in.
vested so much money in the enter
prise, that he believed in it.
The planting will be begun at once
Since the trees do not bloom for sew
eral years, it is impossible to say
how many apples will be shipped
from the 700 acres. but they will GER
tainly add much to the industry and
the productions of Page county.

BREAkFAsr.Foop GOVERNMENT.

Most Of the popularity Of such mea-
sures as the initiative and referendum
and recall can be traced TO the Amer
lean breakfast-food habit We have
reached a point at which we want
predigested government too, says the
New YORK World.
A fair illustration Of this tendency
may be found in an editorial printed
in the Springfield Republican taking
issue with The Worlds assertion that
the initiative and referendum and re-
call leave the minority at the mercy
OF the majority This must be re-
garded as q mistaken view" says the
Republican. What is sought by and
what is likely to result from the mea-
sures in question: is not exposure of
minority rights to the ruthless march
OF maiorities, but the release Of ma
joTities from the continuing rule of
minorities"
The Continuing rule of mincrities"
Is enc of the political fictions Of agi-
tators like Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Roose-
welt. There is no such thing in Amer
lean government. Minorities may rule
Temporarily through fraud or trickary
or manipulation or public indiffer
ence; but whenever a distinct MAORI
~ clearly and definitely decides that
it wants some particular thing 1t will
get that particular thing, provided
It takes the pains TO make its wishes
srticulate.
American government was never in
tended to be instantly responsive to
agitation and clamor. It is govern
ment of checks and balances. The
Constitution was framed in order to
make it necessary that public opinion
should crystalline before it translated
itself into action THIS same pur-
pose runs through all the State Con-
stituticns. Republican institutions
mean discussion, debate, consdera-
ton. delay, until passions have cool
ed and prejudice has softened until
the sober second though of the people
has had a chance to assert itself.
Undoubtedly this system has retarded
scme highly desirable reforms, but
many and many time it has saved
the country from stupendous folly
and disaster There was a profound
political truth in Bismark's cynical
remark leave a few problems for
poeterity."
The World has many oldfogy mo-
tons, and one OF them is a belief that
the form OF government in the United
States is the best form of govern
ment that mankind has ever devised.
Perhaps we are mistaken about this.
Perhaps it Is time to upset the checks
and balances of the Constitution, de-
stroy the safeguards that have been
established for more than a century,
and make human rights and liberties
the casual football of a numerical
majority; but the country should at
least try to gain a clear idea OF what
X is throwing away and what it will
actually gain. The initiative and
referendum and recall are not a
change; they are a revolution.
