What tho esteemed Register's Parkers ?btirg correspondent does not know about "West "Virginia politics, and particularly the politics of the Fourth congressional district, would make a large-sized vol ume. This gentleman, who occasionally has a political spmposlum In-the tuneful columns of tho Popocratlc organ, wastes considerable valuable space In making himself ridiculous. An interesting case In point was a dispatch in Monday's ^Register, in which the astute correspon dent gives the readers of that journal come startling misinformation. ."With a gravity that would fit a seri ous announcement of a fact, this Par kersburg writer informs the public that Judge R. F. Fleming Is among the gen tlemen on the Democratic side who are "looking after their interests as regards their securing the nomination for Con gress." This would "be Interesting Infor mation if It did not Involve the Impeach ment of Judge Fleming's well-known Re publicanism. The fact Is that the judge would look more* in place on the ticket representihg the Republican party. Incidentally, it may be well to note that the astute correspondent further de clares, in the same connection, that among several gentlemen whom he names as candidates for the Democratic nomination Benjamin H. Butcher alone is a "Jefferson!an Democrat." The Reg ister's reporter may not have intended it, but the Inference seems to be conveyed that the other gentlemen are not "Jef fersonlan Democrats." Perhaps the im pression intended is that they simply belong to the now school of Democracy ' known as Bryanocracy, which is popu larly believed among Democrats of tho old school'to involve a repudiation of Jeffersonlan principles. :>-iVnother -remarkably knowledgeous statement from the Register's Parkers burg; political authority is the declara tion that there Is "opposition to Collec tor White's campaign for the senator ship." and that It is "known for a certain ty that he (Mr. White) is the choice of Senator Stephen B. Eikins, in the event that Eikins himself cannot capture the "senatorship." The light, therefore, con cludes this excellently posted correspon dent of the Incompetent Popocratic or gan, Is sure to be a. "hot one." If White "is turned down." he says. "In the sena torial fight it will be.his first Waterloo." Here, now, we have It all in a nutshell, In spite of the fact that Mr White has repeatedly declared through Ills own newspaper that he is not a candidate for the United States senatorship, and that he is for another man for the place, and in spite of the further fact that It can not be possible that Mr. Eikins is for Mr. !White if he cannot get the place for him self, since the senatorial campaign Is not to choose a successor to Senator Eikins, but is for the defeat of the re-election of ( Senator Charles James Faulkner, Demo crat. The value of a news dispatch doesn't always consist of the number of inaccu racies it contains, though some Popo cratic editors may be possessed of the idea that It does. A Fcatnrn'of (he Chilton Matter. There seems to be considerable differ ence of opinion among the legal frater nity of the state as to whether or not the .stale can compel foreign corporations to repay money for corporation taxes that was Illegally paid to the late secretary of state, William E. Chilton, and not turn ed over by him or his agents to the audi tor, to whom the law requires the taxes shall be paid direct by the corporations. The point of disagreement is as to . whether or not the companies can be compelled to pay the taxc3 twice. At torney General Rucker seems to think that the state has a reasonable claim, as the corporations should have known that tlie auditor Is the proper person to re celv6 the money. The amount of the Chilton shortage on this account is about 510.000. ' The question has been raised In some quarters if it is not possible that the late auditor, who must have had knowledge that this money was not being paid into " his. ofiloe according to/law, is liable for this shortage. The Intclllgenccr docs not Intend to reflcct in any manner upon the ex-auditor, who, so far as it knows, k was a competent and honest officer,ubt It hcllc-vcs that under the circumstance It lo-pertinent to Inquire why It was, if these taxo? appeared upon the books of , the auditor,as unpaid, that th?. corpo-.a tlons were not returned aB dclluqufntv and their charters declared forfeited, as provided by law? The iC.i'Mory of L-tate ls; r: iiilred to make regular reports of tho mo'nlos re ceived In his office, and, as has already been shown, these reports were no: made regularly, under the last administration. Tho auditor must have personally known that charter taxes to the amount of $10, 000 had not been turned over to him, not withstanding he apparently had no olll clal knowledge that they had been paid lo any one. There being no official rccord of the payment of the l#xn into tho auditor's office, and the delinquent cor porations not bavins been officially de clared delinquent, it irmi that there wai a neglect, no: only In the secretary of state'a o(Ilce. but outside of If. Per haps the late auditor can make clear this matter, which Is causing some comment, and the Intelligencer hopes In Justice lo that ex-olTlelal that it may be satisfac torily explained. Onr 0|illmlatlc *ecr*im-y. It Is fortunate for the country that we not only have an optimist at the head of tho treasury department, but ^iat his optimism lj based upon actual conditions and is fully Justified. Mr. Gage, In on interview given to the press yesterday, shows that an era of unparrallelcd pros perity is opening up for this country, and points to the evidences that exist upon all aides In proof of his assertions. Our increased and still increasing for eign trade; the evidence the turlft law shows that In future it will be on ade quate revenue producer, nnd that Instead of a deficit at tho end of each month it will yield a surplus; the absorption of re turned securities; the general industrial activity; the large western bank depos its, which represent the profits of the farmers on their high priced crops; the growing confidence of1 capital, and the signs that investments will be more free ly nvade tlrls year, are some of the sub stantial and visible evidences upon which Secretary Gage bases his forecast of the year's developments lu Uie line of business activity. The.accomplishment of the year Just closed is warrant for the predictions the secretary makes, and Justifies the follow ing declaration, which is a plain truth that even the most blindly partisan cal amlty-howler must admit: "The inter | national balance sheet," says Mr. Gage, "\vas never before so favorable.as now to the United States?never before ap proached so favorable a showing to us. It Is no more the mere longing of a dream that our country shali become the creditor nation of the world. That act | ually It Is to-day." He continues: As against tremendous purchases of our i commodities fort-tenors have sent us back more of our securities. Ever since tho | taring crash, over half a dozen years ago, Europe has been continually and largely I unloading upon us her holdings of Ameri ; can stocks nnd bonds. Careful students ! of the situation nrc persuaded that the limit to such liquidation must by this time ! 1)0 well-nigh reached: but, however this l lnaV,?? ?t,,lcro certainly is warrant for tho I gratification in the demonstrated fact that I we aro not only able to absorb what [ Europe forces hack upon us, but that wo | aro able to do this readily, do It without i any quiver or embarrassment?even while I ? , I accumulating millionaire cash credits to our account in every quarter of the globe. A little more than^a year since we heard a great deal from tho Popocratic stump and press about England being the "creditor nation" of the lvorld, and how that country practically ruled us as a debtor nation, and this nlarmlng but largely imaginary state of artalrs was all attributed to the gold standard, which about that time was responsible for about every evil under the sun In the mind of the Popocratlo editor and ora tor, from the low price of wheat to the smokeless mill stack. Secretary Gage points out what everybody has already come to realise to be true,, namely, that what has come to pass, and what is in store for the future, wlth gratifylng con ditions everywhere, and the balance of | trade with the world in our favor, has ! come without the aid or Mr. Bryan's for j ty-five cent dollars and a currency sys j lem which would have dishonored our I credit and impaired our national honor. I Mr. Bryan has returned from the ban ; quits and ovations he received from the j wealthy mine owning dons In Mexico, I where liewcr.t to "study the silver stand ^ ard and its workings." He promises lo reveal what he learned. If he is honest he will point out and reason out how much better the Mexican system has made that country's conditions than our conditions which now prevail, and which Secretary Cage depicts so graph ically. He will also, if he Is an honest man, show us what better conditions than the present state of affairs could have existed If he had been elected and turned the country up-side down with the application of his peculiar financial and economic theories. Time vindicates all righteous causes, and It is driving the last nail into the collln of the dead dishonest dollar issue. Tlir.. I'rlcc or Perfidy. Its a costly price that tho Democrats of the Ohio legislature are demanding for their assistance of the recalcitrant Re publicans in the work of organizing the house against the Hanna. forces. They want everything in sight in the way of offices, hut will give 110 guarantee"that they will help to defeat Mr. Hanna. This position of the Democrats Is logi cal. What else are they to expeel for their services but a big share of the pat ronage? The satisfaction of beating Mr. Iianna with another Republican would hardly compensate them. Haven't Kurtz and the other anti-Hanna leaders been telling the public all along that lie defeat of Mr. Iianna Is necessary for the GOOD of the Republican party, and wouldn't the Democratic members be foolish, from a party standpoint to help the Republican party to a good thing? Wouldn't it he better for them, as parti ran Democrats, lo follow out the logic of Kurtz's reasoning and help Mr. Hanna, It, as Mr. Kurtz contends, his election' would "Tie bad for the Republican party? Mr. Kurtz should realize by this time that tho very reason he gives for the de sirability of Mr. Ilanna's defeat contra dicts his pleas to the Democrats for their assistance in the accomplishment of that result. When men are guilty of a be trayal of their party they usually llnd a hard row to iioe In the effort to Justify their action to the satisfaction of two diametrically opposing Interests. West Virginia again ; comes lo the front as a record-breaker. John Over man, aged 100 years and one'month, has married Mrs. Mary J. Henderson, aged seventy-seven, of Mineral county. West Virginia Is a great state, and It Is another evidence of her progress in the march of development to thus witness her fining men nnd women appreciating the duties that devolve upon tli.'ni as citizens. May this happy couple live long and prosper. Urnest To rah Hooley Is an English man who has made 510,000,000, and like come Americans who h:nv made money is seized with an ambition for political honors, being desirous of entering par liament. Unlike Americans who have political ambitions, however, lie doesn't propose to expend his big campaign rund entirely In his own behalf. With rare generosity ho' offers to pay tho election expenses of his opponent for the honor, the rival being a poor man. This Is a new departure In boodle campaigning, which might meet with much favor on this side of the water. The Kurds In Armenia arc taking ad vantage of the fact that the attention of the Europeans !s directed toward another part of the world to resume their mas?a era of Christian villagers. That Is tho sort of "good faith" that I* being kept by tho sultan.

That, would bo inoro In tho Interest of civilization?" Before the sun had gone down on New Year's day, when the new Tammany ad ministration was Inaugurated In Greater Now York, reformers were ousted from omco and Croker's henchmen placed on guard. The?Tlger will now proceed to satisfy his hunger by devouring every thing In sight. Sic transit gloria reform! SALE OF SLAVES IN MOItOCCO. Tlie I'rlcri of Men, Wolildl ?llt1 Clill llrrll. London Mail: Safll at present enjoys the unenviable reputation of belnrr the only toivn on the Moorish coast In which Europeans reside whore the pub lic sale of slaves takes place, 'nils Is unquestionably owing: to the patronage, In spite of the saltan's orders, which the traffic receives from the highest to the lowest of the government ofllduls. In fact, these persona gen and a few of the wealthier Moors are the only people able to pay for slaves In the present depressed state of the country. Tho British vice consul has done his best to put a stop to the nefarious traillc by refusing to renew the certificates of Senlsarn or Mohalatas who possess or are auspectod of being the owners of slaves, but his efforts are generally inef fectual. as the natives evade this law by making out the papers of ownership in the name of one of their relatives. The Salll correspondent of La Cronlca has kept an account ot the slaves sold or offered for sale-during the months of August, September and October. He says: "Black merchandise has been rather scarce this summer. From Au gust 6 to S, fo: three days, a woman and three chllden were hawked about the streets by the public auctioneer to the following cries: 540 less one for the woman; $25 fur the eldest sir], $22 for the other. No offer has yet been mude for the little boy. On inquiry a few days afterward I was Informed that they reached the sum of $200, but 4n this lot was Included the father, who had not been paraded with his family. It was afterwards ascertained that they had been bought in by a vendor, a man who had been commissioned to offer them for sale by one of the inland'Kaids, who, it was said, would take them to another market, where betters offers might be expected. "On August 17 a negress was sold for $Gfi. "On August 23 a girl eight years old waa disposeu of for $23. The mother went to a sheriff, who gave her the money to re-purchase her daughter, which she was able to accomplish on the payment of $.T>. "On September 21 a man, lt!s wife and child were sold for $Su. "On October S a woman and her two children, one at the breas: and the other about eight years old, and two other girls and a boy. were offered. Separate bids were made for this lot, the total for the six amounting to 5210. The owner refused to sell saying he could obtain double the price in Fe*. "October 27 another sale took place publicly of a negres6 and her two sons, one at her breast and the other six years old. These were finally sold for 535. At tho commencement several offers were made for the eldest boy alone, one man offering $20 for him, but the owner re fused to part with his human chattel for less than 523, so for a question of $5 the boy was not torn from hi# mother."
