STATE POLITICS..

We are in the midst of one of the
most interesting and important po-
litical contests that has ever taken
place in this State, and it is the first
time in it's history that the relative
strength of the two parties is to be
determined by the result. Prior to
1870 large majority of the Demo-
Gratis were disfranchised, and since
that year in which the State became
Democratic by Liberal Republican
movement, there has been practically
no organization of the Republican
party, so that the present canvass is
the only one in the history of the
State where the two parties have
confronted each other with perfect
organizations for fair test of their
strength. This fact, as well as the
important results depending upon
the determination of the contest,
gives more life at home to our local
politics, and creates more interest in
them already this season than ever
before. AT every Presidential cleo
ton the Republicans have carried the
State, but upon local and State
issues the Democrats have
since 1870, succeeded by small ma
jority, not exceeding we believe three
thousand votes in a total vote of
about eighty thousand. The Demo-
Gratis claim that they have ten thous-
and majority in the State, but this is
a mere matter of speculation, and if
the combined results of the elections
which have been held in the
past few years are a basis for just cal
culation, they have, if any at all less
than three thousand. But it is not
safe for either party to rely upon the
result of former elections. New is
sues have sprung up, new organiza-
tions have been perfected, and i'm
portant local questions are to be set
tied this year which will increase the
vote and make the result uncertain.
The democrats ought to carry this
State, but whether they will, or not,
depends upon the vigor al d intelli-
gence of their canvass. In the pres
ent attitude of affairs, West Vir-
ginia is not a certain democratic
State by any means.

Country Roads.

Farmers can as well have good
roads as bad ones. 1t is much more
cheaper and pleasant for farmers, and
has more attraction for travellers.
Teams can haul larger loads with
more safety and comfort over good
roads, from the distant fields and the
wood lots, than if there be no road.
Let the stones and roots be gotten
out of the way, the rough places har-
aened with stones and solid earth,
and the teams will haul enough, with
less breakage in a year to pay the
Trouble of making road. This is an
important consideration, the farms
look better, there is more pleasure
and less vexation in the work to
both man and team.

REPUBLICAN N0MINEES.

The republican convention made a
very strong ticket on Saturday last !;
one which, so far as our knowledge
of affairs in this county extends, is
generally acceptable. Even among
republicans the clash of sentiment as
to nominees is confined to only two
of the offices to be filled, viz: that of
President of the County Court and
of Assessors. So far as the latter is
concerned the duties are simple, and
ordinary business men can master
them, but for the complex, intricate
and delicate duties surrounding the
head of the old fogy County Court,
there is a requirement for quick per-
ceptive faculties, wide experience in
all the business relations of life, and
a peculiar mental fitness able to COM
prehend, grasp and solve intricate
problems as badly mixed as opposing
lawyers can mix them. Whilst we
have plenty Of good citizens, with
morals and reputation above re-
proach, still, we would hesitate as
their friends to advise them to risk
all, by becomingJudge of the County
Court. There are but few men who
can preside well over an ordinary
town meeting, and how much more
difficult it is to steer properly between
opponents whose business it is to beat
each other at all hazards. A gentle
man has been nominated for the po-
sition whose character is be-
You'd reproach, and who possesses the
confidence Of our people to an unlim-
tied degree, but that he will claim to
be fitted for the position either by
experience or study, we doubt. He
can probably do as well as some who
have preceded him, and do his best,
but it is to be regretted that the con-
yention could not find somebody
whose experience approaches more
nearly the line of duty to be perform
ed. Whilst making these criticisms
we want it distinctly understood
they are not made in any unfriendly
or unfair spirit toward any candi-
date, but with the best personal feel
ing toward all.

SILVER AND GOLD.

Silver continues to rise in value.
1T can no longer be said that dollar
in silver is worth less than dollar
in paper. We may go further and
say that it was never true that q
dollar in silver coin was worth less
than dollar in paper. 1t was true
for time a certain amount of paper
money would buy more gold than a
certain amount of silver bullion
but this was not the only or the real
measure of value. The public de-
mand is the true measure of value.
An article is worth what the public
are willing to give for it. AS soon
as silver coin began to be reissued
the public absorbed it at once. The
demand was immense and Unsuitable.
1t continues, and gives no indication
of abatement. The people pay their
paper money for this silver coin, and
take it at par. They would pay
premium if they could get it ON no
other terms. Their eagerness to get
it proves that it is worth more to
them, the ultimate judges of value,
than paper money.

How to Purchase Tools.

In purchasing tools and imple-

other things being equal, should
be chosen. To handle a heavy tool
is waste of muscle now that steel

Even a hoe should be sharp and
bright to be the most effective, and
in a mower dull knife will double
draft. This is equally true of horse
power machines and of hand tools.

Good Advice.

Never repeat story unless you are
certain it is correct, and not even
then unless something is to be gain
ed, either of interest to yourself or
forthe good of the person concerned.
Tattling is mean and wicked prac-
tice, and he who INDUCES in it grows
more fond Of it in proportion as he
is successful.
