You Haven't Tried them.

Victim of debility, who is responsible for
your feebleness? Not yourself, you will say,
for you've done all you could to cure IT,
That's a mistake on your part.
You haven't tried Hostetter's Bitters.
Gloomy dyspeptic, with an uneasy stom-
ach and a world-weary face, of course you
don't think yourself responsible for your
own torrents. But you are. 1t Is easy to
see from your condition that you haven't
tried Hostetter's Bitters.
Bilious sufferer, it Is not your fault, you
think, that your symptoms grow worse day
by day. Blue pill doesn't do you any good.
Very likely. But you can lie brought
round for all that.
Why haven't you tried Hostetter's Bitters?
Friend, on whom fever and ague alter
nately blows hot and cold, and whose brain
seems to be bursting with the effects OF some
powerful drug, do you assume the RESPONSE
billty? o, no! You've taken piles OF qul-
nine, and all the regulation medicines.
What could you do more? One thing
more-the very thing that would have ex-
empted you from ali the pangs that now
rack you.
You have never tried Hostetter's Bitters.
Nervous invalid, what have you To say
You plead that you have taken all the ner-
vines of the pharmacOpieia. III they have
done you no good, II Is not your fault you
are not responsible. Wrong. all wrong.
You have, in reality, nobody to blame but
yourself.
Why haven't you tried Hostetter's Bitters
For all the above named complaints, the
| BitterS are absolute specifics.

Acc1pESr.-On Thursday night last,
while the exhibition" was in full blast,
a horse was heard laundering through
our streets, and short time afterwards
"a man was found PROSTATE on the
street, above the hotel, and a horse
standing over him. On examination,
il was found that his head was badly
hurt as if the horse had tramped on
il He was carried to the saloon Of L.
! Crone, where he received proper at
tention. The most singular part OF the
affair is, that the horsewas the property
of DR.. J. S. Boak, our popular dentist.
On being restored to consciousness, he
stated that he had mistaken the horse
for his own, and mounted him, when
he became unmanagable. but remem-
bers nothing er.-Morgan Mercury.
ANOTHER HORSE GoNE.-We are sor,
~ to note the fact that Mr.. James Jack
on Monday last lost valuable horse.
He was taken on Sunday last with an
illness strongly resembling collie, and
his actions proved conclusively that he
was in high fever. All the known
remedies that could be obtained were
applied, but in vain. This is the third
death we have recorded in short time
and we learn that quite a number OIL
horses have been lost throughout the
county Moran Mercury.

The Joint Committee on FINANCE III
the LEGISLATURE last winter made a care
ful estimate and report concerning the
cost of a Constitutional Convention
The report enumerated all the items o.
probable expense, including the two
special elections provided for in the ac'
aud the cost of the session OF the Con
vention, and the whole bill amounts to
simply s37,5O3, or a little more than
ons-tsnth of the sum which the Radical
papers are fond of parading before the
TAXPAYERS of the State. But even II
the expense were double, or three times
what it is likely to be, the Convention
will prove a good investment for the peo,
pie by establishing simpler and cheap
er mode of government. As a measure
of economy, and as the only means by
which the expenditures Of the State
Government can be materially reduced
the Constitutional Convention com
mends itself to the people of West Vir
ginia,

THE FREE SCHOOLS.

Some Of fhe opponents Of the Consti'
tutional Convention, for want Of bet
ter argument, are trying to create the
impression that the Convention will
abolish the public school system. In
view of the fact that both political par
ties in the State are fully committed to
the support of the public schools, and in
consideration also of the further fact
that fully nine-tenths Of the people are
warmly in favor Of the system, the
Radical idea that the Convention will
do anything to injure the cause OF
public instruction is simply absurd.
In fact, there is no ground for appre-,
hension that the Convention will do
anything averse to the popular will.
We believe to the fullest extent in the
system Of popular government. The
Convention will be simply what the
people make it, and will do what the
people want it to do. If the people OF
the State desire the destruction Of the
Free School system, and elect delegates
to the Convention pledged to the accom-
plishment OF that work, the free schools
will be abolished. We would regret such
action very much and think it very I'M
wise, but we don't see what the Radical
newspapers are going to do about it or
how they can prevent it. But if, as we
all kno'0 is the case, the people OF the
State desire no such thing and will send
no such delegates to the Convention,
the free schools will not be injured and
their friends need feel no apprehensions
on that score.

The Parkersburg Journal Is guilty o'
an unworthy evasion, when it says that
we "tacitly admit" that the law requlr,
ing officers indebted to the school fund
to settle up is unconstitutional. We
made no such admission, either tacltly
or otherwise. We believe the law to be
strictly in accordance with the constltu'
ton of the State; but if the lo~"aI be
correct and if there be any danger that
any one of the extraordinary lawyers
who now, by the grace Of the Radical
party, occupy judicial stations in West
Virginia, may decide the act unconsti
tutional, there is the greater necessity
for a convention that will rid the bench
of these incapables and give us a con
stitution under which thieves may o'
punished and school officers compelled
to disgorge

The same answer may be given to all
the bug-a-boos the Radicals are en-
deayoring to raise concerning the Con-
yention. The people have both the
right and the power to make such
changes in the Constitution as they
desire and believe will be for the com
mon good; and it is the height oil
absurdity to endeavor TO prevent them
from securing what they do want for
fear they may do something they DC
not desire and are not willing to submit
to. There are some important changes
in the Constitution that are imperatlxely
demanded. It is foolish to say that
these shall not be made because others
are not desired.

The Radical newspapers of the State
seem TO be firm believers in the ON
pipotence of the Legislature to do ex
actly what they want done, while they
are very quick to invent constitutional
obstacles to the Legislature 5 doing what
the Radical party does not desire. In
fact, for some years past, they have run
the government Of West Virginia IN
accordance with this principle. The
Constitution of the State never stood IN
their way when a partisan scheme was
to be accomplished, tut when the Peo-
ME demanded reform we were told that
the Constitution did not permit the de-
sired change. The Constitution was
merely a little joker in the hands OF
these Radical thimhle riggers and now
Won see it and now you don't see 1t was
the only explanation OF Their i'.''e
game that they condescended to make
II was held to be constitutional 10 aus;
mere act Of the Legislature, but the
Constitution had to be amended be-
fore these men could be restored to their
right. They are just now contending
that the Legislature can impose CAPT
tation tax on negroes, Notwithstanding
the Constitution expressly prescribes
what class Of citizens shall pay this tax
and does not subject negroes thereto
but, in Radical estimation, the Legisla-
ture has no power to compel delinquent
school officers to settle their accounts
with the State.
They insist that the Legislature has
power to economize the expenses of the
government by the abolition Of useless
offices; but when q Radical Board OF
Supervisors changes the townships OF
county SO as to secure party advan-
tage and deties the will of the people,
it is contended that the Legislature can
not interfere for the protection Of the
citizens Of the county and that, under
the Constitution, the Board Of Supervi-
sors is beyond Legislative control.
Let us have Convention to fix all
these questions definitely and beyond
the cavilling of Radical politicians or
the strained decisions Of incompetent
and special pleading Judges.
