A great deal has been published by the Democratic papers of the rftate concern ing a deficiency Id the appropriations for the state penitentiary. Some highly Imaginative, publications have been mado to the effect that the penitentiary ?would be obliged to stop business, and one correspondent sent broadcast over ,the country -the absurd story that the convicts would have to be released on account of the lack of funds. As a rule newspapers have too much good sense to give place to such ridiculous "news" matter, but tha't doesn't seem to affect tho course of the Democratic papers in West Virginia that continue to give it a place in their columns. The real truth of the matter is that the Republican legislature which did not appropriate sufficient money for the pen1 itentiary should not be held responsible for the error. It will be remembered that when the legislature was in session the Democratic state administration was yet in office, and that the appropriations were based upon the reports and esti mates of the Democratic officials. In the penitentiary matter tbe reports from that Institution, still under a Dem ocratic administration, were directly re sponsible for a lack of sufficient appro priation. It was represented that the amount of money still on hand to the credit 'of the penitentiary was $14,000. Upon this representation the legislature based its appropriation. The legislature adjourned, the new state administration . came in, and a new board of directors for the penitentiary was appointed. "When, this board assumed its duties it was not long in ascertaining that instead of $14,000 of a surplus there was a defi cit of $1,000 after all outstanding bills were paid. Had there been the amount in the treasury to the credit of the Institution that was represented, the appropriation made by the legislature would have been more than- sufficient for all purposes. However, there Is no likelihood that the prison will be embarrassed for want of funds, and there is no danger that the convicts will be released !n a body be fore their terms expire. .. Why notbe Prank? The local Bryan organ is so much con cerned about President McKlnlev's broad declaration in favor of currency reform, and for the faithful keeping of the pledges made to the people who elect ed him President, that It Is moved to quote from a speech delivered by him some years ago to show that he did not then entertain the views expressed now regarding the silver question. The Reg ister concludes that this shows a dis graceful surrender to the "gold "bugs." In 1S93, at the time the Register speaks of, the Democratic party had just come Into power pledged to, the identical monetary policy now being pursued by the McKinley administration, and even our neighbor was denouncing the free silver advocates as "cranks" and ene mies of the financial honor of the coun try. If the Register was right then it is wrong now, and Mr. McKinley and the Republican party are right. The Intelligencer has frequently quoted from its neighbor's editorial col umns to show where that paper 3tcod in 3S93. In writing about consistency and charging Qlshoncsty against others, who it alleges have changed their views with changing conditions, why should not the Register apply to itself the same accusa tions? Why assume that every one who changes his views on a public question is any more dishonest than, the Register itself, which has done that very thing? Was the Register not honest when It was supporting President Cleveland's finan cial policy in 1893? Tho fact Is, Preolden: McKinley never did favor the free and unlimited coinage , of silver at the ratio of 1G to 1, regard less of international agreement, nor the policy of placing this country on a sll .ver basis. Garbled extracts from his speeches of five years ago can not sub stantiate the claim that he advocated such a policy. The Register, however, did denounce liryan and others favoring the doctrine as "cranks" and disturbers of business. Was the Register Uss hon est then than It is now? "IMonej* of tlm Con?ltiitloii.'? In his New York speech I" which ho catno out flatfocted for the Blnglo I>;illnli gold Btundard, McKinley said: There Is another duty renting upon the national government?"to coin money and regulate the value thereof." MoKlnley was quoting the constitution of the United States. It la a pity he didn't quote It n little furthor, but then, it might havo omburraflsed tho goldhtiK* present, for tlmt great document says that tills coin ahull bo "GOLD AND SILVER"? < Register. Why should a further quotation have ?'embarrassed tho gold bugs," who arc Jn favor of the freest use of silver con sistent with aafoty, end so long as the twu-ltX la not dlrilurbcd?i If {ho Pxcsl '?/: . .v..' dent" had "quoted further" h? wauM have found gold and allveir mentioned but once In the constitution. In section 10 of Article I, to which It Is simply pro vided that no itate shall "make any thing but sold and allver a tender In the payment of .debts." There U nothing Inconsistent In Hit present policy of the govcrnmea: with Hut rwislon. In, fact, since the so called "striking clown of silver there has been a larger coinage of silver dollar* and a greater use of them as money in this oountry than there was In the entire history of the government previous to 1873, and we are still coining them In vast quantities, and keeping them at a parity with gold. There Is nothing In the constitution that warrants the adop tion of a. policy that would placo us on o silver basis, nor to make our coinage of silver so unlimited as to flood the coun try with depreciated currency and drive out the better metai from circulation, or,even drive It front the country. Nor la there warrant In the constitution to permit Congress to fix the coinage at a false ratio. The fathers of the republlo were honest men and never would have provided ,ln the constitution for the coin age of the two metals at a dishonest ratio. Where docs the Register And In the constitution a command to tlx a ra tio between two metals (coined freely and unllmltedly) that would bo In viola tion of the laws of trade, and without regard to reason and common aense? Reformed Utirl Uni. Two bills making Important amend ments to the libel laws are before the legislature of Ohio, and both of them de serve to pass without opposition. They arc designed to afford the newspapers of the state relief from the discrimination that the present laws provide against them. As at present construed; the stat utes presume the editor to be guilty on the appearance In his paper of the ob jectionable matter, and one of the amendments provides that lie must be presumed Innocent until proven guilty. It enables blm to prove the truth of the publication, If It is capable of proof, and this shall constitute a complete defense In a claim for damage. The Other amendment provides that malice shall not bo presumed from the mere publi cation of a. libel, but must be proved. These two amendments are in the line of justice and place a newspaper pub lisher on an equality with others who are sued for damages or proceeded against criminally. Ohio Is not the only state where these reforms ore needed. In West Virginia our libel laws are In need of revision In oven more respects than these two. In every state the libel laws should compel a claimant to give bond for the costs In the event of his not being able to make out his cose. This would relieve publishers from be ing at the mercy of Irresponsible persons who often bring libel suits for purposes of blackmail, or on the advice of petl foggera who are seeking for contingent fees, and frequently depend upon the willingness of the defendant to compro mise rather than bother, with the case. Where such persons are not compelled to give bonds for the costs jurlea are of ten tempted to give nominal verdicts against the defendant, feeling that if a verdict the other way is given the costs cannot be coiieoted. Instances have been knon-n where a verdict of one cent damages have been rendered for this reason. This is regard ed as a virtual vindication of the defend ant, but throws him In for the cost3 of the damage suit just the same. Jury men do not consider the injustice of this sort of a verdict sometimes, being moved solely be sympathy for the Impe cunious plaintiff or a tear that the costs will not be paid. Another reform should permit the court and Jury to take into account the fact of a defendant having admitted the Injustice of'a publication, which may have been without malice, and made a reparation in the form of a retraction or public apology. The looseness and injustice of the libel laws In some of the states should be cor rected. The amendments proposed to the Ohio lawB arc a step In the right di rection and should be adopted. O ? The announcements Miss Bradley,the daughter of the governor of Kentucky, that she will christen the new battleship Kentucky, with water taken from a spring from which Abraham Lincoln used to drink when a,boy, has raised the Ire of the Kentucky colonels and majors, who Insist that the favorite beverage of all good and patriotic Kentucklans. pure whisky, should be used. One of the;e prominent representatives of the tlrst families of the blue grass state, who is particularly Indignant. Is said to have a record for having taken SGj.OOO drinks of whisky during hl3 life, and declares that he doesn't desire that "the outside public shall be impressed with the idea that the Woman's Christian Tcmperance Union has closed all the distilleries In Ken tucky." lie accordingly enters his seri ous protest. Miss Bradley, however, stands loyally by her guns In favor of the clear and cool fluid from Nature's fountain of historic associations, and, being a woman, will doubtless carry her point, as she deserves to. The Teller silver farce will be made short work of In the house of representa tives to-day, which will virtually end the ugitatlon, .for this session of Con gress, at least. The people of this coun try voted down the mon6ter when they elected the present Congress and Will iam McKlnley President, and thrlr rep resentatives will be carrying out the In structions they received then when they lay this dishonest proposition on the shelf. ? C. C. Sliayne, of New York, denies emphatically the part of General Boycc's slory connecting him with the alleged attempt to bribe .members of the Ohio legislature In Mr. Hanna's behalf. He says that no such confercncc as is al leged to have laken place between him self and the President ever occurred or was contemplated. There about nr. much truth In the remainder of the TJoycc story as there Is In the Shayne part of It. There Is hope In the fact that same or the professional base ball ir.an?g*rs are preparing to make a crusade against rowdyism at base ball garncs^ It Is ngrccd that the remedy rests with the patrono of tho game.

Americans will Join with their English brethren In tho general satisfaction ex pressed that the stories regarding the affliction of Mr. Gladstone have been ex aggerations. The "grand old man" seems to be simply suffering from the cftccti of old age, but la otherwise In fine condition. If Europe Is getting ready to tight and succeed* In getting Into a general "scrap." all Uncle Sam will have to do will be to quietly look on and furnish tho nations across tho water with food and othe supplies. It's an 111 wind that blows nobody good. , THE PENSION LIST. Rtatona AR.ln.llha I'ropoaltlon In Pnl). Hill 11?1 hr Intent Should be Conil.lercil. Exogc.rnlcil ?nd Ill-Coualilt i? t Clinrgrs of Francis To the Edltoi^of tho Intelligencer. Sir:?I have road with great Interest tho suggestion of Commissioner H. Clay Evans to print, for public Information, a list of the names of tho persona draw ing pensions. "Corporal" Tanner, an ox-commlsslonerof pensions. Insists that tho publication of such a list would be a "damnable outrage." "Corporal" Tanner Is a pensioner himself, but no one can question the propriety of his pension. Whether or not such a list would be an outrago would depend wholly upon the intent with wfclch it was published and the purposes for which It should bo used. If tho list wero published In good faith and circulated and used as a roll of honor, It would be a very hand some thing, Indeed, to do, but If It is Intended, as intimated by Commission er Evans, that a list bo circulated by tho government that tho people may scrutinize it, and discuss it on tho streets, in the groceries and at the cross roads?the merits and demerits of every pensioner?then no good would come f^i8U, !ua4puJ1Icat,on- And be Intended that the list shall be a kind or general search warrant, to aid tho pension bureau in ascertaining who are 2 ,.,,<LrolIs ^Properly, then "Cor 2?J?u was f,uUo rlRlit when he wl? e a "damnable outrage." *tou d ,overy honest soldier in the land who dra\vs n pension authorized by the laws of his country be subjected to this indignity? If you please, why ? ?w porPorar Tanner, who left both his feet on the battle field at Bull Run, stand up and be searched, because forsooth, some one else claimed what he was not entitled to have and suc cedeed Jn deceiving tho pension bureau? Has the pension bureau, with Its army or clerkH and agents, been so badly managed that it cannot tell whether the people who got the money were entitled ?? nol?,,If 8?. different business methods would seem to be the better remedy. If Commissioner Evans, or anyone, knows of any person who Is on the pension roll fraudulently, why not "jo criminal and have him punished. The courts are open for such purposes, and the laws are ample. If '!lcnreanything wrong with the pen felon rolls, correct them. But why should the pension bureau feel so sensitive even if a few pensions have been Improperly allowed? it should be borne in mind that more than a million cases have been acted upon. It would be almost a miracle If. In act ing on so many cases, no mistakes have oeen made. No doubt many mistakes have been made, both in favor of and against applicants. Mistakes are almost unavoidable, but mistakes are not rrauds. Before anyone can secure a pen sion he must file his application and prove by record evidence that he was a federal soldier, honorably discharged, ana also that he has some disability which brings him within some of tho a. of Congress providing for pen sions., These are all matters of fact to be proven to the satlsfatcion of the c?mm'SsIoner of pensions, and why should not the commissioner misappre hend these facts just as judges and Juries mistake facts proven In open court. It Is of common occurrence for judges and juries to make mistakes in tne trial of causes, notwithstanding the witnesses are before them, and undergo rigid examinations and cross-examina tions, and their demeanor may be ob served by the court. But the Judge who makes an honest mistake Is not a crim inal, nor Is the suitor who Is benefitted V ? thcse courls make mistakes, and are Imposed upon under such favor able circumstances, why should not the officers 5f tho pension bureau make mistakes and be Imposed upon, when they can only have before them the written descriptions of the disabilities presented in affidavits, often imper fectly and unskilfully drawn. I think I know personally a majority of the old soldiers now residing In the counties of Preston. Taylor. Barbour. Mai ion and MononraHa who are on the pension roll, and I defy any man to show that one of these men Is fraudu lently on the roll, in nddltlon to this ?ul."? a"?

Fairmont, January 2S, 1S9S. SPANISH FLEET In Very ITml Shnpe?'1 ho Government Is Thoroughly Alarntril. LONDON, Jan. 30.?The Correro, or gan of the Carlists, discussing tho visit of the United-States battleship Maine to Havana, expresses tho belief that the Spanish public is Justifiably alarmed, adding: "As a fact, It is the government Itself which Is seriously alarmed-, though every effort Is made to disguise it. In spite of the ofllcial statement of Admiral Corvara8, tho admiral of the fleet, on Tuesday last (at a conference with the minister of marine, when he a.sserted that the recent evolutions had demon strated the perfect condition of tho Spanish fleet), Admiral Cervaras In re ality reported that there was not a ship ready for service; that the vessels not actually In ury dock ought to be there; that many of the boilers were defective; I that some ships were not "yet armed, and/ that most of the vessels required cleaning". In view of the perlldy of the United States It is not surprising that such neglect and helplessness create alarm." According to the same paper, great importance is attached to the confer ence between Patenotre, the French I minister to Spain, and Gullen, the Span- j lsh minister for foreign affairs, who, it is said, ddscussed the action of the Unitbd States, "as it Is well known that there is great alarm in France at the course of events. The fact that Pate notre Is Intimately conversant -with United States afTalrs lends additional Importance to the matter." Help. Oh yes, you have my sympathy. That have been ..hit by black Misfor tune's poisoned dart; The wan look on your features touches me, The tremor in your voice sends poign ant sorrow to my heart. I know you did your best to win, I know that evil clrcumstanccs blocked the way; Here is my hand, my friend, brace up! Go In And show the world that you are still prepared to win the day. No doubt remains to torture me? Your tears are proof that you are truly penitent; Start life anew! You have my sympathy. Remember this, I pray you?but I haven't got a cent! S. E. KISER.
