The Democratic State Convention
to assemble in this place on the 2Sth
promises to be largely attended, and
every citizen of the town is or should
be interested in seeing that proper
accommodations are afforded all
who attend. Our local pride ought
to induce us to put forth every ef-
fort to make comfortable and pleas
ant the visit of all who come here
on that occasion. The fact that it
is a Democratic convention ought
not to prevent united effort on the
part of all our people to keep up the
reputation of our town. The same
would apply were it a Republican
convention.

ATTORNEY GENERAL.

BY IA letter published in the Wheel
ing Register it appears that Col. Rob-
ert White has withdrawn his name
as candidate for the nomination
for Attorney General. His reasons
for this step are of a domestic and
professional character. Col. White
is a great favorite in this section of
the State and would of course have
received from the eight counties east
of the Alleghanies unanimous sup
port. This opens to the Third Dis
trict an almost certain assurance of
furnishing the next Attorney Gen.
eral, and of thus having full repre-
sentation in the Board of Public
Works. Three very able and dis
tinguished gentlemen have been pre-
sented for that position from that
district, and no doubt the selection
will be made among them.

creased benefit does not come with
increas ed effort. Without such a
reward there is no spur to effort, and
no possibility of accumulation. The
result is that when an unfavorable
secson comes, the people have moth
ing to bridge over the period of
scarcity, and Famine claims the un-
fortunate as legitimate prey. He
stalks through the land in the form
of Death and becomes as unpitiful
as Fate.
1t is time that such things should
cease. Emigration is no remedy.
Morphine will not cure delirum ire
mems. Nothing but the removal of
the cause-desistance from alcoholic
indulgence-will prevent their re-
currence. Emigration has been tried
over and over again. 1t has been
tried until there is not a land on the
face OF the earth that does not ex-
tend protection to a child of Erin,
that has not seen his bravery, that
has not grown richer from his labor.
Must he forever be an outcast /?
Must he always be an alien? Must
he wander like another Ishmael +? 1t
cannot be. Justice says "no.n HUI
manity cries "shame."
The British government have
duty to perform. That duty is the
amelioration Of the Irish people.
Gladstone should not rest till he has
done it. There is no middle course
for him to pursue. A great wrong
is to be righted, and when that is
the business in hand there should be
no hesitation. Irishmen have right
to their homes and the lapse of no
time can ALLEVIATE that right.

NOT A REMEDY.

The London Times argues that
emigration is the only relief for the
ills of Ireland. We can not see the
force of such argument. The land
tenure system has proved fatal to
the people of Ireland. Why not
remedy or abolish the system, rather
than seek by emigration to cure the
Ills which it alone has inflicted. The
people of Ireland have tried emigra-
ton. Those who have left the coun-
try have not died from the effects
of the land tenure system. They
have, however, been compelled to
forsake much that is dear to them,
and subject them to much that is
painful. Ifthis could have entirely re-
moved the evils of landlordism, they
would not have suffered in vain.
1t has not. The system has remained,
and its baneful influences like a dead
ly miasma, has been working with
terrible effect. The people of Ireland
have at last determined to abandon
this useless policy. They have made
up their minds to either change the
system or abolish it entirely. There
is no other way for them to do.
They have right to live where they
are born. 1t was no choice of theirs
that they first saw light in Ireland
instead of America; it is only their
misfortune. AS truthfully remarked
by an exchange, it is not because
their land is infertile that they suffer
from periodic famine; it is because
the land system prevailing will not
let them live as other people live;
because no land in the world will
support population which does not
receive the chief benefits from its
cultivation. In Ireland that popu-
lation are subordinate cOnsidera.

THE STATE CONVENTION.

We learn that the committees are
diligently at work in having every
proper arrangement made to receive
the delegates to the Democratic State
convention. 1t is ascertained by
actual measurement that Floral
Hall will comfortably seat 900 dele
gates. Besides, and apart from the
accommodation which our several
hotels and boarding houses will fur.
nish, the committees have found
that private houses will be freely
open, sufficient to accommodate at
least three hundred delegates.

ENTHUSIASTIC SENTIMENTS.

We find that the Democrats of this
Congressional District are becoming
quite enthusiastic as the day for the
meeting of the State Convention APP
proaches. A letter from Preston
says, "We are in this county unani-
nous for your distinguished county
man, Hon. Chas, j.. Faulkner. We
know him well, and will stand by
him to the DEATH"
A letter from an ex-member of
the House of Delegates from Poca-
hontas says, 81 hope Mr.. Faulkner
will get the nomination. With Han
cock at the head of the nation and
Faulkner at the head of the State, l
think we can run four years with
happiness peace and prosperity"
A letter from a prominent citizen
of Mononghalia, who expects to at
tend the convention, says, "Our cry
here is Hancock, Faulkner and vic
tory" 4
A letter from Meadville, Barbour
county, says, "Tell Mr.. Faulkner we
are for him in this part of Barbour
first, last and all the time"
These are but few of the letters of
similar import which have been
crowding upon us for the last week.

How TO AVOID SUNsTROKE.-In
view of the present intensely hot

circular issued by the New York
Sanitary Commission in reference
to supstrokes, its cause and remedy,
may be of interest to those who are
necessarily exposed 10 the sun. 1t
contains some valuable suggestions
to those unfamiliar with the treat
ment of those afflicted
"Sunstroke is caused by excessive
heat, and especially if the weather
is 'muggy.' 1t is more apt to occur
on the second, third or fourth day
of a heated term than on the first.
Loss of sleep, worry, excitement,
close sleeping-rooms, debility, abuse
of stimulants, prodispose to it. 1t is
more apt to attack those working in
the sun, and especially between the
hours of eleven o'clock in the morn
ing and four o'clock in The after
noon. On hot days wear thin CLOTH
ing. Avoid loss of sleep and all un-
necessary fatigue. If working in
doors, and where there is artificial

room is well ventilated. If working
in the sun, wear light hat mot

&C., and put inside of it, on the
head, wet cloth or large green
leaf; frequently lift the hat from
the head and see that the cloth is
