FEBRUARY 8. 190Q. , Htttiaj: of the State League of Re- c publican Clubs. 1 To the Republicans of Wert Virginia. 1 The time has come Cor aggressive action < on the part of all adherents of our great t party, which Is now. as ?ver, the party . of vital and positive principles. This year, * as heretofore, Republicanism means patrl- > otism. It therefore behooves the friends of good government everywhere to use all * honorable means to pereptuate Republican ^ principles by bringing about the election _ by overwhelming majorities of the Repub- 1 llcan national, state and local nominees i in the pending campaign. Such effort . ' should not cease until victory Is won. J In view of the great Influence for good , wielded by club organisations In distributing political literature and arousing enthusiasm upon the live questions of the day, a meeting of the West Virginia State League of Republican Clubs is hereby t called for THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 1900. to be held In the city of Farkersburg. W. Va., for the purposes of reorganisation, ( consideration of plans of work for this , year's campaign, election of delegates to the National League meeting, and for i such other buslnes* as may properly come t ' before it. Each club Is entitled to live dele- 1 gates, and It should also elect Ave alter-, nates. Republicans In every county are urged to organize clubs at once, and send the name of each club, with lists of officers 1 and delegates, without delay, to the sec- . retary at Charleston. 1 Speakers of national reputation will be i present to address the meeting. By order of the Executive coonxmniee. WM. BURDETTE MATHEWS, i First Vice President. _ _D. E. HUGHES. Secretary. The Refunding Ordinance. The refunding ordinance, which will be submitted to the voters of the city s for ratification or rejection on the 24th I of this month, seems to be a fair meas- i ure for extricating the city* from ira- j pending financial difficulties. The ordi- f nance passed the council by a unanimous vote with an unusually large attendance, and we believe that the fea- i tures of the measure will commend themselves to the approbation of the ? people. ] Of courss there are Interested parties who would like to see the ordinance defeated, and who will do all in their 3 power to accomplish that end. The s situation, however, that is presented 1b, t that there are charges upon the treasury of the city coming due and these obligations will have to be satisfied in 1 some manner, ine uraimuice pruviuvs for the liquidation of these charges. 1 If the measure should be defeated then the only recourse Is to increase the rate of taxation. Besides the benefits that will accrue to the city In refunding the present debt, we believe the voters will also realize that it is not to their interest to vote for an increased tax rate. * Hypocritical Tears. ' J While the Louisville Courier Journal may be excused in one sense for weeping c hysterical tears over Goebel's coffin, of a deploring the death of a young man 8 who might have lived had it not been for his own viciousness, it might be 5 well to call its attention to some of its c idiosyncrasies. But giving its emotional editor credit for the sincerity of his 1 grief, we are reminded that men ? In Kentucky are as often moved to -3 tears as they are to pull the ever ready win?tho wr n nun nf ihn nnu'nrrt In something over a column and a half the Journal preaches the funeral sermon over Mr. Goebel'ii remains, and while some of It Is very touching, coming as it doe6 from an emotional pen, there are lines that belle themselves. This is the same paper that once condemned Qoebel when he was driving the Kentucky legislature into a heap and making the members vote as a bunch for his iniquitous election law. It is well enough to be connlstent, even at the verge of the grave. It goes out of Its way to cast a slur on ex-Secretary of the Treasury John O. Carlisle. It goes out of its way In other instances, indicating a mercenary view of the situation which it Is too cowardly to profess openly. It is weeping the same hypocritical tears that that arch hypocrite, Senator Blackburn, shed in profusion over Col. Sandford, the man who was murdered by Goebel. * ^ r The Hopeless Cause. The Springfield (Mann.) Republican, J a newspaper published under a mis- J leading title, and which .has ever been fl the friend of Agulnaldo, the mouth- 1 piece of the Atkinson "aunties" of Boston, and the bitter foe of the present administration, has the following doleful prediction regarding Bryan: "The Bryan situation fs strictly 1 tinlque. The less his prospects of elec- \ tlon the tighter grows his grip on the nomination. For the first time in our political history a great party sits worshlpfully at the feet of a man and does little or nothing to oppose a leadership . which few believe ran result In victory." < Coming ns this does from one of the Inost virulent antl-expunsionlst sheets IT liXIUU1H in New England, if not In/the country >n the retreat of Mr. Bryan from Mi peaceful invasion of the "enemy's coun rr" and the crushing comments of Mr Jewell, of Maine. Bryan'e former run ling mate, we do not see much comfori left to the Kebraskan. The Indian, tpolis Journal, neverthless. protessx to give an explanation of the acquteo :ence of the Springfield Republican axvt >ther Democratic leaden In the lnevl Able. It Art: "With the Issue baton he country thVy have no hope of sm& !bu next November. Whatever thi platform may be or whomsoever thi mrlltlajr may be, President McKlnley prho has generally satisfied the countr] uid whose administration has been at :ended by a marvelous prosperity, wil 3e re-elected. This fact seems to b< lonceded by leading Democrats In mosl >f the states.' The anti-Bryan men whi ire prominent Democrats realise ihli bet, and, realising It, they see a sun fay to get clear of Mr. Bryan, his sll< rer and other heresies. They may maki l little show of opposition, but they wll icqulesce lc Mr. Bryan's nomination, rhey do not "sit wonhlpfully at Mr Bryan'a feet as the M&nachusetU taper affirms. but they are wajtlng pa. Jently to see Mr. Bryan rejected as th< tarty dictator by another defeat. Whet le 1* again defeated they believe ths Democracy" will accept men of bralni is leaden." A Desperate Democracy. Nothing pleases the Democracy. The] ire determined to aee nothing comnendable In thla administration, and heir latest spasm Is over the ameodet 31ayton-Bulwer treaty, In which the] iffect to see concealed a defensive ant jffenslve alliance with Oreat Britain for bold misrepresentation they bavi airly excelled themselves this time ind all their pother Is simply a hopeess attempt to get an issue for th< :ampaign, which shows how really des >erate tneir case la. The agreement concerning the neurealization of the proposed canal is, ai he treaty itself sets forth, based upor, hose rules in force with-regard to the Sues canal, under which that channel >etween th?3 Mediterranean and the Red tea was as open to the fleet which il *ras designed to s&nd under Admiral RTatson in 1898 in pursuit of the Spansh fleet under Admiral Camara, which lad started for the Philippines, as it vas to the vessels of Spain. The rejection* of the amendment tc he queen's speech by the British house >f commons was a wise thing to do, as he amendment was a virtual censure >f the government Right or wrong, low that the government is involved n war it Is the duty of those at homi o sustain the soldier in the field. What is the matter with Kentucky? iVhy, since the close of the rebellion the itate has been dominated by tbe re)aired patriotism and mended citizenihip of those who tried to destroy this fovernment, the surviving and degenirate Bourbons. That's what's the mater with Kentucky. A New York woman went to courl aid asked for an injunction to restrain ?er husband from tickling her feet with i feather. Many women would be >roud of such distinguished attention rom their husbands. The youthful Mr. Beckham would lever have taken the oath as "govxnor" of Kentucky If he had not been rupported by "Jack" Chlnn and "Joe" Blackburn. Congressman Sibley has given the Democrats something to think over, tomethlng they haven't had for some ime past. Montana takes the prize as showing m the most corrunt state of political iffalra of any state In the country?and t is Democratic. Do not forget the man behind Goe>el?Blackburn. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. A woman is a labor-saving device to die up wood for a man to saw. It takes a woman about nine minutes o pick out a husband and three women ind seven hours to pick out a hat. A woman will break her heart berause a man doesn't love her enough md then love him a lot better because he thinks she doesn't. The only time a woman ever does vhftt you think she is going to is when 'ou think she is going to do what you lon't think she i0 going to. Nothing makes a girl madder than to iave a man to try to kiss her when he isn't in a corner and when both of he doors in the room arc open.?New fork Press. Courage! When doubts dismay you, ? .
