sUBSI DIES.
YOU.

We print on our first page an ar
ticle from an exchange on Subsidies
and Hon. B. F. Martia's position on
the subsidy question. Mr.. Martin
has always been the uncompromis-
ing enemy of subsidies and has fought
them with brave determination ever
since he has been in Congress. No
one will claim, except railroad job
bers, that the granting of subsidies
is in the interest of the country. No
enterprise Of Importance has failed
when the Government declined to do
nate large portion of the public do
main to assist it. Ifneeded and like
ly to be profitable capitalists will not
be slow to take them mp. Through
the efforts of Mr.. Martin in the
House of Representatives and the
Hon. A. G. Thurman in the Senate,
millions of acres of the public lands
and millions of dollars have been
saved to the Government. The effort
made in 1878 to have our Legislature
instruct the West Virginia Represen-
tatives to vote for the Texas Pacific
steal is not forgotten, and it would
have succeeded but for the interior
ence of Martin who exposed the whole
scheme and defeated it. Mr.. Martin
also introduced bill in Congress
which provided for the recovery of
such lands as had been granted to
corporations, when the terms of the
contract were not complied with by
the corporations. This resulted in
adding largely to the public lands.
While this course did not make Mr..
Martin any friends among the lob
byists and Jobbers who hang around
Washington, it demonstrated his de
sire and ability to represent his con
stituency faithfully and to their in
terest. His experience has given him
an advantage that no other repre-
sentative could have at this time and
we suggest as measure of wisdom,
propriety and profit that we return
him to his seat in Congress. He is
known and respected throughout the
District; his fearless, manly course
in the interests of his people are man
ifest to all, and we believe q large
majority of the people Of the District
desire his reelection. His record on
the subsidy question alone would be
sufficient reason to ask him to serve
us again.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
ON TRIAL.

Never before in the history of the
country was the Republican party,
from the Atlantic to the Pacific and
from the Lakes to the Gulf, put so
squarely on trial before the country
as now, and that too on question
no less vital than the life or death of
this Republic. This party has often
boosted that it was the Union party,
that it was the guardian of liberty
and republican government on this
continent. Now let US see if there
is anything in its Wanted patriotism.
Up to this time, sharp internecine
war has been carried on within its
own ranks between the followers of
Grant and Blaine, wherein the latter
and his friends have often and openly
charged on Grant, that he is seeking
to subvert this Government into
shoddy empire. That Grants can
didacy for, and election to a third
term, was the coming CROWN to
which the American people would
not and dare not, if they would, sub
NIT. In this view the Democracy of
the whole country coincide with
Blaine, and this is the vital issue of
the contest this fall to be determined
at the ballot-box, and now the
Blaine Republicans must and do see,
that nothing short of a miracle can
prevent Grants nomination at Chi
cago on the I'd Of June; and oh!
what a miracle it would be for the
omnipotent God to infuse patriotism
enough into the hearts of this Grant
dynasty, to appease their glut for
greed and power. Nothing short of
omnipotence can do it, and we fear
this will not be year for such mira
cles, now that Blaine is already van
| quished and his cohorts rendered
powerless at the Chicago convention,
what should they doS Have they pa
triotism enough to come to the res
cue of their country and it's liberties?
is the question. This is the question
i to be solved in the next four weeks.
Is it party or country these Blaine
men love most? We shall see;' and

ent and fearless advocacy of the
rights Of the people of this country.
The Democracy Of Monongalia are
in full accord with him on this sub
ject. They do not believe that any
number Of such wrongs in the North
will justify wrong in the South or
elsewhere Whatever is wrong In
principal can never be justified or
made right. The improvement of
rivers is quite different. Private cor
porations do not own the rivers and
consequently do not receive the
profits.

The Hon. ID. ID. Lucas on Subsi-
dfcs-..He TIA kes the wrong
Side.

In his speech at the court house
on Saturday, Hon D. B. Lucas took
pretty bold stand in favor of the
Government granting subsidies to
southern railroad, on the ground that
such grants have been made to north
ern railroads. We are inclined to
the opinion that the people are pretty
generally opposed to this subsidy
business in any shape it may come
up. Millions of acres of the public
lands have been given away in sub
scriptions to railroad monopolies,
who sell it at high rates to settlers.
Had this immense body of public
land been reserved for actual settlers.
or sold by the Government to those
railroad monopolies and the money
invested in public education, the PEG
pie would have derived some benefit
from it. AS it is, it is given to rail
road corporations, and few men
grow rich at the expense Of the many.
The Democratic party can't afford to
endorse Government subsidies to rail
roads. Millions of dollars and mil
lions of acers of public lands have
lately been saved to the Government
by the defeat of the schemes of the
lobbyists and railroad jobbers who
hang around the capital like leeches.
That the defeat of these subsidy
schemes is in the interest of the
country and of good government is
amply demonstrated by the results.
Mr.. Lucas probably knows his own
business, but we think he makes a
serious mistake in announcing him
self in favor of Government subsidies
to railroads in any respect. Martins
burg Independent.
We concur in believing Mr.. Lucas
makes a great mistake in advocating
subsidies by the General Government
to private corporations. Our people
are not in favor Of squandering the
public land or money in that way
They believe Hon. B. F. Martin IS
right in opposing such subsidies ard
land grants, and is asserting and
maintaining the true Democratic doc
trine on that subject. Mr.. Martin
deserves great credit for his persist

clearly ascertained, private prefer
ences of men, should vanish like
morning dews before the rising sun.
At this point the question arises,
what character of men should be
nominated by that convention as our
standard bearers in this rDomentous
and fearful contesta We, answer,
that in our opinion, they must be
both capable and honest, they must
be pure and not blotched with sores,
subsidies or other corruptions, they
should be the most available, TO be
so; they must have hearts as broad
as the continent; knowing no north,
NO south, no east, no west, yet know
ing and approaching all. They
must know no section, creed or color,
and yet must know and protect all
with eqnal and exact justice, they
must recognize each and all of these,
us part, of our political machinery,
each performing its proper place and
function, and as such entitled to the
same careful protection.
They must recognize the suprema
cy of the Constitution as our fathers
made it, and as it is; within its prop
er sphere, and of the states within
their proper sphere, they must favor
an indestructible Union of indestruct-
IDLE states. They must, in obedi-
ence to the plain declaration of the
Constitution, hold the military as
subordinate, for to secure this vital
principle, the President is made com
mander in chief of the armies. They
should not be hard money, or soft
money, but good money men. That
man must not only willingly take the
oath of office, to preserve, protect
and defend the Constitution of the
United States, but one who will keep
that oath in good faith, in the letter
and spirit. Mark; it is the Consti-
tuition of the United States and not
of an empire, that is to be preserved,
protected and defended. Our candi-
dates should be civilians and states
men, Of ripe experience and broad
and comprehensive views. For the
execution of military functions we
should choose military men, but for
civil functions, civilians. Let wis
dom be the chart, the guiding star of
that convention, and all will be we'll; ;
as millions of patriots rose to pre-
vent ACKNOWLEDGMENT of this union
of states, 80 thrice as many millions
will now rise to prevent destruction
of this Republic. The people will
not submit to an empire nor third
term, as the forerunner and com
mencement of an empire. We have
confidence in the wisdom and patri-
otism of the people. Tricksters can
be bought and sold; but the people,
never. The masses move slowly, but
surely; give them chance and a
safe leader; and as God liveth, these
plotters for a crown, had better
stand from under. Again We say,
that the eyes and hopes of the coun-
try are upon the Cincinnati Conven-
ton. Let their just hopes be not
disappointed Ceuntrymen, to the
rescue; and may wisdom from on
high guide and control the heads,
hearts and tongues Of that body.
