f.y Judge John Barton Payne, of Chicago,
Ik Who la a West Virginia product, having
v gone to the western metropolis some
years ago from Preston county, la Just
H now the leading candidate for the Demfi
ocratio nomination for mayor of "that
v city. Judge Payne attained rapid dis inrMan
in his profession after locating
||. In Chicago ?nd since his elevation Co the
bench has won fame for his many important
decisions. A year ago he created a
' sensation by ferreting ??ut attempts at
jury bribing and has ever since been u
terror to evil doers. -
But It may be that Judge Payne will
aot be the nominee for mayor. The only
j,.V . Democratic paper \*C character in the
g city is for him, and the Republicans have
s* ; none but good things to say of him personally.
He would niake an Ideal mayor.
There Is an Objection to him. however.
It being urged by the dominant faction <>f
the Chicago Democracy, that 1?, the
y, Bryan <?r Popocratic faction, which polled
160,000 votes at th? November elec i
Hon.
p. Judge Payne committed the awful
: crime of opposing the free silver heresy
l,; . In thePresidentiai'campalgo. He was a
^ "gold-bug," a wicked "plutocrat," who
. believed that the national dollar should
j* be honest one hundred cent dollars and
K' her credit as unsullied as her honor. He
ft refused to vote for the young agitator
iv frr?m the plains of Nebraska, and If he
didn't vote for McKinley, at least voted

Anil so this man. who has won the reE

V " for his character and peculiar fltncti as
a candidate for mayor la being: denounced
. '/bythe Bryan Democracy. They have
"" served notice on the pjirty that his nomp
inatlcn will mean hi? overwhelming defeat.
No gold Democrats need apply
now or henceforth for any political hon '
ors. The Popocrata are In the saddle.
The real Democrats arc to be read out of
the party. They will not be recognised
% as Democrats. They may vote the ticket,
if they want to. but they are forever
tabooed when It cornea to the selection
of candidates, even for local offices. This
Is In acc??rdance with the manifesto issued
by Mr. Bryan himself and that policy
1? to be carried out.
The gold Democrata are losing no sleep
over the prospects, however. Judge
Payne's case is the first prominent one

have their remedy. They had it once beV

The Wide Tlr? MIL
Elsewhere, in to-day's Intelligencer,
appears a communication from" one of
f the Intelligencer's farmer readers In referent*
to the wide tire bl|l which is before
the legislature, but with an adverse
t. ownmlttee report attached to it. The bill
is in the interest of good road* and good
roads are of Inestimable benefit to farm[ -'
era. It has been estimated that our pro '
verblally bad roads have beeen a greater
drawback to the farming interests of the
tate than any other Mingle thing. Wljle
tires alom?, of course, would not make
good roads, but they will contriiiute to1
ward keeping them good, and no one dcnlM
fhitlr pfflj'.im'.
We do not know the provisions of the
pending bill, but our firmer Correspondent
makes an Important suggestion,
which would avoid the objection thnt
such a law would work a hardship by
forcing owners of vehicles to make costly
changes at once. He suggest^ that the
limit of time ivlthin which all vehicles
shall be equipped with wide tire* alioll
be three or live years, and argues that
all now vehicles purchased from the time
of.the pur-fitr* of the net until it goes into
I flfect would Ik? wide-tired with a view to
thu future when the law should be In
force.
In this way, by the time the three or
five years are up. a vory large proportion
of the vehicles of the state would he
already equipped with wide tires and
without tbo onforced hardship which
some people fear. Wo take It (or irrantod
that (hoJaw before the legislature has
ome such provision a? the correspondent
hum: nt.i. but If not it Is a good one
to Incorporate.
It now turns out that tho Interview

from a speech made by Mr. Gage three

exclusive talk with tho secretary-to-be,
as an Indication of what the policy of the
administration will bo. This. we presume.

The Democratic editors throughout'the
atato that affect so much concern because
the proposition -to abolish the feu
, system 1ft not meeting with smooth
sailing In.the legislature and Indulge .In
comment* reflecting upon tho Republican
majority In consequence, seem to
forgot that the fee system 'thrived
through twenty-five years of Democratic
legislatures.
These brethren have suddenly been
smitten with t!hc Idea that Its abolition
would be a rood thin*. It 1? a. pity that
their conversion did uot occur until after
the state passed from the hands of the
Democratic party. Just think of It! Tor
a Quarter of a century Democratic legislatures
permitted the "Iniquitous fee system"
to remain li? force. Now when, for
the first time In all that period, the Republican
party has come Into power, they
discover Chat It shtwld be abottsbed!
The Intelligencer does not believe that
the fee system is the best that can be devised
for the remuneration of public officers.
A salary system is, in most cases,
in the interest of the public service, but
Just the same, the attitude of our Democratic
brethren, which they forgot to assume
until they were voted out of power,
is very amusing when you consider ail
the circumstances. Their criticisms^ of
Republican legislators com* with queer
grace In view of their own record on this
Dartfcirtur question.
The'theatre high hat muit go. The
West Virginia state senate has said it
and the house of delegates wil probably
approve the decree. If Governor MacCorkle
has a spark of human sympathy
in his manly bosom he will not veto It.
Then the theatre going public throughout
the length and breadth of this proud
mountain state will rise up and call the
entire aggregation blessed.
Ktpect Too Much.
If reports from Havana concerning the
expectations of the Spanish officials, in
the event of the Institution of reforms
in Cuba, are correct, It Is not probable
that the hopes will be fully realised.
Among them is the one that the United
States will deliver Into the hands of
Spain the members of the Cuban Junta.
It is not probable that after the promulgation
of a Spanish decree granting
amnesty to all political offenders and establishing
practical toom* role, the
United States would be prevailed upon
to do anything of the kind.
Such an act would be about the most,
unpopular thing that this government
could perform and it would stir up a
wave of Indignation that would sweep
over the entire country. The wisest and
best course for Spain to pursue would be
to impose no such conditions on the
country whose mediation is prompted
solely by a desire to see peace restored
In the Interest of humanity.

A Wheeling Company** Property.
A Wheeling man who has recently been
down In the Iron and coal regions of Alabama,
at Birmingham and vicinity, l:<
especially laudatory of the workings of
the plant controlled by the Woodward
Iron Company, located twelvo miles below
Birmingham, the stock of which is
largely owned by residents of Wheeling
and members of the Woodward family.
He thinks they manufacture the cheapest
iron in the world, and that all told
the plant Is the best managed and most
prosperous Iron producer In the south.
Ho aim spoke of the amount of Iron now
beinfr shipped from Birmingham to Europe.
These shipments have assumed a
degree of magnitude and importance undreamed
of a few years ago.
The destruction of the Pennsylvania
state capitol building by fire Is to be deplored,
mainly because of the loss of valuable
state papers, which cannot be replaced.
There was also a sentimental
regard among the people of the old state
for the bulldingr. which was the scene of
so many stirring events In the past
three-quarters of a century. As to the
money loss, the great state of Pennsylvania
can stand that. She can afford to,
and probably will, replace the old build
Infc with a stately modern pjl6 of marble
or rganlte, which will be in keeping with
her own great 11 eisa and be proof against
all destroying elements fur the centuries
to come.

A WIDE TIKE LAV
Is Urgently Drnmiidcil?A Farmer Writes I
on tUr Subject.
To the Editor of the JntollJgoncer.
SIR:?-We notice in your report of the
proceedings of the legislature that a bill
Jn regard to "wide tires on vehicle#" has
been referred back not to pas*.
We were very much surprised and disappointed
to see this, as we have entertained
great hopes that the meeting of
thin legislature would mean the parage 1
of a "wide tire law."
If we were still laboring under such
difficulties an Democratic rule, we would
not be at .all surprised at this hesitation
or refusal to take tihla progressive step
or even at progressing backwards a little.
but with a Republican legislature,
which means, or ought to mean, a legislature
of progress, we think there should
be a step taken In this Important matter.
West Virginia needs a "wide tire Jaw"
and needs it bad, and needs it passed at
once, but not to take effect for from three
to five years.
We repeat that now Is the time to pass
such a law.
As good Republicans, with faith in our
doctrines and standard bearers, we expect
a great revival In business all over
the United '.State.;, and more especially
in our own mountain state of West Virginia.
so full of natural resources of
wealth. We expect the magnitude of this
revival in business, which has shown itself
to Home extent already, to increase
wonderfully In a very short time, at
least Ion* before our legislature dan
meet again In regular session and put.a
wide tire law In force.
The opening of spring, with a revival
of business, will moan the purchase of
many new wagons, and if the purchasers
of these new wagons know that within
from three to five year*' time they will
, be required to use a wide tire, they will
get a wide tire to start in with, and the
repairer of an old wagon will use his better
Judgment also, and before the time
will have expired for such a law to take
effect the ordinary tire will be as seldom
9een on our roads as is the wide tire now.
We do not believe In going to extremes.
We would suggest a three-Inch -tiro for
a wagon to carry not over 2.000 pounds,
and a four-inch tire for a wagon to carry
not over 5,000 pounds, and over 5,000
pounds a five-inch tire. ,
We siucerely hope that there will be a
carefully framed bill presented and
passed before the present legislature adjourns.
