A MORE HOPEFUL PROSPECT.

The press and the people OF West
Virginia are In accord as to the rep
resentation OF the State at the Pana-
ma Exposition at San Francisco next

now busy in outlining some plan by
which 1t will be possible TO show
ourselves before the world with credit
to the progressive and enterprising
spirit which has marked the charac-
ter OF our people for over a quarter
Vi a century past. Inc neSltancy OF
Governor Hatfield In making avail
able the legislative appropriation OF
$4,000 has been explained at length
by him. and the reasons he gave for
the delay In moving in the matter
were convincing and justified his con-
sentative action. Even now he does
no see how the State can afford to
erect a State building. but refrains
from making a positive statement.
The Intelligencer some days ago
suggested hat the individual wealth
OF the State was great enough 10 sup
