No Respect for the People.

The Republican leaders have no
respect for the great populace. They
look upon the masses as incapable
Of thought and destitute of memory.
1t must be so; else how would they
dare to insult them now by nominal
ing candidate for third term in
the face of their own resolutions, I'M
animously adopted only four years
ago, declaring their "unalterable" OPP
position to a third term?
They must believe the people are
such fools that they could be told
to-day that black is white, and to-
morrow that white is black, without
exciting any feeling Of distrust.
We have too much respect for the
intelligence of the American people
to imagine such a thing to be posi-
ble
There has never before been such
a bald, open, entire abandonment of
all consistency and all principle in
the whole history of American poll
tics.
Those who are guilty Of it ought
to find their just reward in an over
whelmipg defeat,-N. Y. San.

THE Adam boom has progressed
sufficiently to secure the preliminary
model of our great first Father. The
model has been made by Mr.. Bailey,
the Philadelphia sculptor, and has
been sent to Elmira, the seat Of the
Adam boom. The model is four
feet high, one-third the hight of the
statue, and Adam is represented
nude, seated on a rock, having just
awakened from the sleep during
which he was deprived of rib, and
is supposed to be looking upon the
freshly created Eve, glowing with all
the graces, warmth and loveliness
of perfectly beautiful woman, stand
ing before him. When the Elmira
people get the statue Of Adam erect
ed they should certainly have Mr..
Bailey execute a colossal Eve. 1t
would only be simply act of justice
to Adam.

The Difference.

The steak was cold, and vegeta-

and insipid and Mrs. Hickonlooper
was mad all through, as the dinner
hour passed by and her husband did
not come.
Presently the door knob turned,
and Mr. Hickenlooper stamped into
the hall.
II should think you might be a
little more prompt to your meals,
snapped his wife as she glowered on
him from the kitchen. Here I've
shaved and shaved myself all the

"You remind me Of the recent es-
cape Of the Car of Russia" he ex-

A Serious n Hair at Burton, An
Old VIA N IBcnten by His
SOn.in.Law.

There Is some excitement out in
the ncighburhood of Burton, on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, over
the death Of an old gentleman named
Wright, tile latter part Of last week.
1t seems that he and his wife lived
with their son-in-law, Charles Snyder,
on farm belonging to the old gen
tleman, which was to become the
property of Snyder after the death of
the aged couple, on condition of his
keeping them during life. 1t is said
that several weeks ago Snyder beat
his father-in-law with cane very
severely, and that his death last week
was really caused by the injury re-
ceived. DR.. O. W. Frank expressed
the opinion before he died that he
was i'll from the beating he had
received. He died at the residence
of his sons, Henry Wright, to whose
house he had gone after the beating.
1t seems that Snyder got very un
easy about what he had done before
the old mans death, and made an
offer of settlement to Henry Wright,
rendering as much as 81 900 to have
the matter hushed up. But it was
not hushed up. On the contrary, it
has obtained much publicity, and
Fontaine Smith, Esq, of Fairmont,
has been retained as counsel by Hen
ry Wright to prosecute the case
The first thing done was to make a
post mortem examination of the body
of the deceased. This was done be-
fore the interment, but with what re-
suit has not been made public as yet.
The excitement, however, is intense,
and public opinion runs high against
SNYDER.

IN the campaign of 1876, that por-
ton of the Republican party known
as "the town clique" buried Emrod
Tenant, their nominee for Sheriff,
from the West Side of the river. In
1878 the same clique buried Henry l..
Cox, who was their candidate for the
Legislature from the West Side, And
few days since the members of the
clique assembled at Sturgiss office,
and selected the ground in which to
deposit the political remains of our
young friend, L. M. Wade, who is a
candidate for Prosecuting Attorney,
and is from the same side Of the
river. If that crowd kills a few
more West Side Republicans we will
soon have a handsome Democratic
majority in old Monongalia.

VOL. TX.

G. w. ATKINSON, formerly Editor
of the Wheeling Standard and rank
Stalwart, is out in three column
article in the Richie Gazette, giving
a most elaborate argument in favor of
coalition. He thinks it would be
right" that it would be "honora-
ble," that it would not be selling
ont, but that it would be ''the en-
bodiment of wisdom and statesman
ship to take such a course" He
further thinks that the Republicans
will gain possession of the Legislature
next Fall. The bowling and attempt
ed browbeating game of the insolent
Republicans is disgusting, and when
the people understand that the Re
publicans want nothing but the Off
ces, they will fail more signally than
if their mongrelism had not been at
tempted. This coalition is an I'M
natural, bastard child and will dis
grace its parents forever.

Two prominent members of the ar
istocratic Republican Union League
of Philadelphia had fight the other
day and called each other liars, over
a Grant pamphlet, about which they
were disputing. After the fighting
priests of Radicalism were separated,
one of them, Mr.. McManus, pledged
his word that he would horsewhip
his antagonist 'if he ever found him
circulating that pamphlet again.
Such is kid-gloved, cologne-scented
Republicanism.

How sweet the Radicals are on the
Greenbackers Only two years since,
the Stalwarts exhausted their vocah-
ulary of railery on the Greenbackers
How different now! The Republi-
cans are down upon their knees i'm
ploring the Greenbackers to "come
over and help u.s." Less that one
year ago these same Stalwart organs
that NOW cry for coalition said there
was no such thing as Greenback
party. Greenhackism was a myth,
DC, DC. A few noisy Radicals have
worked themselves up to believe that
their proposed coalition will carry
West Virginia and put all the offices
into the hands of Republicans. There
was never anything SO foolish.

Leap Year Hints.

Girls know only one-quartcr as
much about counting as boys, be-
cause they have only one year in four
IN which to practice.
As a matter of course, leap year
finds them poorly prepared to- "step
in and win" and we will give a few
hints as how 1t should be done.
First, fix up in style, black your
boots carefully, heels and all, and if
the "shine" don't come in hurry,
slam the brush across the floor into
corner, quote what scripture you hap
pen to know.
Twill be a big job to put on your
collar and neck tie and the chances
are that there will be more looking
IN the glass than in the case of n fell
low coming to see you.
Stroll down to the barber shop
and get shaved, and have the bar
Der "oil up" freely; otherwise all
efforts to grease the wall will he fu-
tile.
On the way to ''his' house, speak to
all the fellows you know; this is a
good point and the only way to pay
him back for flirting with the girls
f6t three years.
As you near tho house, cross the
street and pass by It, This will give
you chance to see II THE parlor is
lighted and to st.tniise if any other
girl is calling.
If when you step up and pull the
door bell your heart is not in your
mouth, then you've struck the wrong
house.
Inquire If the young gentlemen are
in, and-don't forget and wear your
hat, hang it up on the piano or the
floor or some other place.
Chew cloves assiduously during
the call other wise che may think you
have been drinking.
If he is little, timid, blushing,
thing talk about the weather, his pa,
his ma, and any other distant sub
jeets.
If he plays and sings, stand up
like little man and turn the mu-
sieve don't refer to an orguinette.
He'll probably yawn and cover up
an immense cape with his jewelled
hand; but don't take the hint.
Playfully turn the gas down; he'll
probably say 80, you shouldn't" but
recollect how he "doused the glim"
last year.
You don't need to say much at this
point. Conversation is apt to be q
nuisance at critical junctures.
Previous experience will doubtless
suggest the COURSE Of events for the
rest Of the evening.
When the old lady calls out "Ita
ten o'clock" don't mind it, wait I'M
til she calls eleven and twelve, in
fact stay till you hear the milkman
rafting his cans.
Ask for a match to light your CT
gar, linger at the door for half an
hour longer, make him think that he
is your own and only-and go and
see another fellow on the next even
ing.
