A PerilOus Season.

Glorious and delightful as the Summer
weather is, its tropical heat is severe trial
to the vital powers. Even the strongest are
sometimes Frustrated by It's effects. The
common phrase applied TO this condition
of the body is general debility" Now,
general debility arises from, and includes a
variety of ailments. The liver is more or
less affecte d, the bowels are either constipa-
ted or too much relaxed, the stomach but
half performs the work of digestion, the
appetite is poor, and the spirits depressed.
This Is what is called general debility. 1t is
q general disarrangement of all the physical
functions, and requires as remedy med
icine that will regulate them all. Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters is specially adapted to
this purpose. Its general operation Is not
confined to single organ. If the liver is
affected, il restores It's tone. II the stomach
is torpid, ii regenerates IT. If the nerves are
tremulous and weak, it braces and rein
forces them. If the mind, which ever SYM
pathiZes with the body, is gloomy and de-
spondent, it relieves the difficulty, and soon
brings the whole mechanism OF the body
into harmony with the laws OF health.
There is no civilized nation in the West
ern Hemisphere in which the utility Of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as q tonic, cor
rectiye and anti-biliouS medicine, is not
known and appreciated. Throughout the
Tropics II Is considered, both by the people
and the profession, the standard specific.
While 1t Is q medicine for all seasons and all
climates, it is especially suited to the COM
plants generated by the weather, being the
purest and best vegetable stimulant in the
world.
Beware of the Bitters made of acrid and
dangerous materials, which unscruplous
parties are endeavoring to foist upon the
people Their name Is legion, and the pub
lie has no guarantee that they are not poi
sonous. Adhere to the tried remedy, Hos
letters Bitters sold only in glass, and never
In kegs or barrels.

GOVERNOR STANTON said in his speech
on Friday night that written Constitu-
tons were made for the protection Of
the rights of minorities. This is true;
but what rights the minority have I'M
der the present Constitution Of West
Virginia that cannot be taken away and
trampled upon by a majority, would be
difficult to define. The Radicals did
everything that the widest and most
reckless party rage could dictate and
deprived their opponents of every right
they saw fit to take away, all, as the
Courts declared, in accordance with the
provisions of this Constitution. What
protection did the Constitution afford to
Democrats in 1865, &c and 81? Our
protests were laughed at and the Courts
enforced whatever the party majority
in the Legislature chose to enact! And
all this was done under the model Con-
stitution which Democrats are now
assured is well nigh perfect and which
they are asked to perpetuate unchanged!

1T NEEDS CORRECTION.

We find In the Morgan Mercury Of
last week the following inquiry ADDRESSED
to the editor Of that paper:
BERKELEY SPRINGS, July 10, II.
Mr.. Hodgson:
SIR:-In looking over the population
of the several counties entitled to repre-
sentation, l find that. unless the basis
of representation il changed, Morgan
county, with several others, will be cut
off the list entitled to a representive,
and she will be compelled to share with
some other county the selection Of one.
How can this be accomplished without
q Convention If it can, will some of
the enlightened inform me through your
paper, and oblige an earnest inquirer
after facts. Truly,
QUEsrIoNER.
The question also arises in this con-
nection, By what constitutional right
has Morgan county had representa-
tive OF her own in the Legislature dur
ing a number Of years past2 The l4th
section OF Article w. Of the Constitu-
ton provides that "the counties OF Nor
gan and Berkeley shall form the seventh
delegate district and choose two dele
gates; Of whom, for the first term, one
shall be resident of Berkeley and the
other OF Morgan county; and for the
second term, both shall be residents of
Berkeley county; and so on in rota-
ton" Instead Of complying with this
rule, the two counties referred to have
had three delegates at every session of
the Legislature since the formation of
the State; Berkeley county has had two
and Morgan county one every year.
The same section of the Constitution
fixed the number OF members of the
House of Delegates at fifty-seven in
case the counties of Pendleton, Hardy,
Hampshire, Morgan, Frederick, Berke-
lev and Jefferson became parts OF this
State. All OF the counties named, ex.
cept Frederick, are recognized as be-
lopgingto West Virginia, but notwith-
standing the county Of Frederick. with
q population then and now Of nearly
seventeen thousand, is not and never
has been included in the State, the
number of members ofthe House OF Del
egates has been assumed to be fifty-seven,
lust as it would have been had Fred
er:ck county been represented.
But this is not all. Notwithstanding
the number OF delegates is fixed at
fifty.seveu, including Frederick county,
the House has actually consisted Of
sfty.e;gM members not counting Fred.

The voters of Romney and Spring
field townships in Hampshire county
are to vote next Saturday upon D
proposition to subscribe twenty thou
sand dollars, ten thousand for each
township. to the capital stock Of the
South Branch Railway Company. The
bonds are to bear eight per cent interest,"
and be redeemable in twenty years.
The taxable property Of each Of these
two townships through which the pro
jected road will pass. distance OF fifteen
miles, from Green Spring station to
Romney, is estimated at Five Hundred
Thousand dollars each, and the advo-
Gates of the subscription calculate that
the construction of the road will add
thirty per cent to the value OF the prop
erty along the line. There seems to be
NO doubt that the subscription will be
voted almost unanimously. The Balti-
more and Ohio company furnishes half
of the funds necessary, for the construc-
ton and equipment Of the road.

PaYson NewmAn's Polar Prayer
Book.

From the New York Sum-
The Polaris, which has sailed in
search of the North Pole, previous to
her departure was supplied with a
special prayer book, printed in the Gov
eminent printing office expressly for
the frozen ocean, which contains va
riety of prayers composed by the Rev.
DR.. Newman, and adapted to every
degree OF latitude. There is one prayer
in it which is entitled, Prayer at the
North Pole" and from its context it
would seem that the reverend Chaplain
of the Senate supposes the North Pole
to be flag staff. pr. Newman is a
very handy man for the administration
to have about the White House. He
is equal to any emergency. He can
with equal facility pray for an iniqui-
tous job like that Of San Domingo, en-
deavor to manipulate primary elections
by soliciting sectarian influence in be-
half OF senator who is known to be
sound for Grant, or composes prayers
appropriate to the elevation Of the Star
Spangled Banner on the top OF the
North Pole. 1t is gratifying to know
that so good and so useful a man is well
paid for all his varied services.

The bitterest opponent Of the Con.
vention in the State admits the neces.
sity Of amending the Constitution.
There are at least a dozen important
changes that all agree should be made.
The Legislatures cannot make these
changes unless it devotes a large por-
ton OF two sessions to their consldera-
ton, and incurs a special expense
probably equal to the cost OF a conven'
ton. Then why not call Convention
at once; make all the alterations in
the Constitution that are found neces-
sary; and have done with the subject?
Without q Convention, we will have
the Legislature proposing one amend
ment after another for the next ten
wears, and the Constitution of the State
will be tissue of patches and incon-
sistencies that no man can understand
1t il better and cheaper to do the work
carefully and wisely and once for all,
and then let it rest

A Soldier Of 1912.

Editors of the Register: -
From time to time articles have ap-
peared in the columns OF our neig hbor-
ing paper, the Moundsville Reporter
signed "a Soldier Of 1872" which have
attracted some attention and been read
with considerable interest. They are
from the pen of an old resident of Mar
shall county, now in his S0th year, who'
more than forty years ago, was editor
and proprietor of the only newspaper
published at that time in the. city Of
Wheeling. With a mind stored with
the incidents Of more than three-quar-
tiers of a century, an ardent lover OF his
country and despite his age close OBJ
server of present events, these articles
of "A Soldier OF 1872 possess special
value and interest. The surrender of
Hull, the building and equipment OF
Commodore Perry's fleet, the assem-
bling of the militia under General Tan
nehill at Meadville, the march to But
falo, apd many other events Of that stir
ring time are here related by one who
was an actual eyewitness and partici-
pant. And the same pen that brings
these events before our eyes glides I'M
consciously as it were from the far past
into the near present. General U. s.
Grant and Commodore Perry, the i'm
pressment of our sailors in 1872 and
the Alabama claims, HulIs surrender
and General Buffers war speech are all
spoken Of, az it were, in one breath.
The Soldier of 1872, uniting in him
self these events and personages now SO
widely separated by time, shows himself
to have been and to be now a good old
fashioned lover Of his country and
thorough American.
Though concealed under the sigma.
ture of "A Soldier of 1872" it is well
known that the writer Of these letters
is the venerable and respected Robert
J. Curtis, ESQ, OF Annadale, Marshall
county, West Va. For more than
thirty years Mr. C. has retired from &C.
tive business, and has contented himself
mainly in the simple pursuits Of agri-
culture. Possessed Of q beautiful home
and surrounded by his children and his
children's children, he is enjoying the
repose of long and well spent life.
During our late unhappy civil war,
Mr.. Curtis was an earnest and devoted
supporter of the Union cause. Though
not able in 1861, as he had been 1872,
to personally participate in the struggle,
all his influence and words and sympa.
thy were freely given to support the
integrity Of the Union.
or late Mr.. Curtis has identified him.
self with the Democratic party, con
WINGED that the salvation Of our country
mainly depends upon the asccendency
of Democratic principles. AS an evil
dence of his zeal, it may be mentioned
that he caused more than q thousand
copies OF an address in which he had
embodied all the great and leading
present Democratic truths, to be circu-
lated and posted all through Marshall
county at his private expense, and to
him as much as any other man is owing
the return of Marshall county to the
Democratic fold.
Mr. Curtis is an ardent advocate Of
the proposed Constitutional Convention
and the voters Of Marshall county
might do worse than to make him
member of that body.

Some of the Radicals, DE the exercise
of their fertile imaginstscn1 70 find or
create objections to a Convention, assert
that one Of the principal objects which
the 4r;ends ef-the Conventior-hnrri
view is to incorporate into the Constitu-
ton provision authorizing the Legis-
lsture to aid internal improvement COM
panies. This view is about as truthful
as Sieveusoh's estimate OF the cost Of q
Convention, which will hereafter serve
to illustrate all that is most reckless
and extravagant. ,a1I,J15g I'd c.
The above clause of the Constitution
is one of the best protectors OF our
organic law, and one which a conven-
ton would certainly retain in substance
If not in terms. So powerful have
many of the great, railroad companies
of the country become, and so regardless
are they of the rights and interests OF
the people, that they can only be re-
strained by constitutional inhibitions
However pure the Legislature OF the
State may be for the future, we do not
desire to see it subjected to the ;tempta-
tons to corruption, which might he pre-
scented by some railroad king.
Whilst we are in favor. OF encourag-
ing the construction of all the works OF
Internal Improvement which have been
projected in the State, i is not well to
do so by permitting the companies to
expect pecuniary aid from the treasury
Of the State. ........
Whilst it may not be a matter for the
consideration OF a Convention, it seems
to us that it would be the part OF wis
dom to have general railroad law in
the State, under which companies could
be organized to construct their roads
where they pleased, without applying to
the Legislature for charter. Such a
law would put stop to a great deal of
log-rolling, would save much time to
the Legislature, and much money to the
State. Several of the States have
already derived great benefit from hav-
ing such law.
