HOME INTERESTS.

AO III II LIN IINLC l. o.
Every man should be measured
not by money inherited, broad acres
gained or wealth boarded, but by his
usefulness to the community in
which he lives. To be honored by a
people is a grand thing, bat to re-
ceive honors and never be builder
of interests and enterprises that
infuse vitality, strengthens and en-
larges your town is a graceless
thing. He who lives in a community
but to abuse it has but little Of the
elements of true manhood or good
citizenship in him. Every man, no
matter how poor his cottage or how
palatial his residence, should respect
and be proud Of his own home. The
child whose remarks bring odium
and disrespect upon the sacred spot
only certifes its own disboner That
child should be a builder up and not
despoiler Of the parental domicil.
The same principle applies to citi-
zenship. The same strength Of faith
and love should permeate every
thought and effort for and on behalf
of the community in which you live,
and one should always feel ringing
in his ears Bozzaris' grand cheer,
"Srike for your alt rs and your fires
Strike for the green graves Of your sires,
God ana yonr native land"
Any man whose nature isn't rou5-
ed and animated by such sentiments
is a despicable creature. for other
wise he bites and snarls at the hand
that feeds and MIXTURES him.
Now Martinsburg is good old
town. She is full of historical in
terest and has made as much solid
advancement as any inland town
east of the Alleghanies She is
capable with the energy and intilli-
gence of her citizens of accomplish
ing much more. A town with citi-
zens Of sufficient grit to open miles
Of trench through solid rock and lay
down water and gas pipe is not the
place to 60 to the rear when

reel under the blow, but the grit
that goes to the front is there. aGd
viii come again. We are short on
wealth, but there is plenty of ma
terial here that should invite and
hold investment VIII not some Of
the leading minds turn aside for a
moment from their interminable
efforts in their personal affairs and
devise some means by which the
general interests of the community
may be benefited Can we not halt
for awhile in these days Of political
excitement and rush of business and
consult as to how and what shall be
started, developed and put in opera
tion to make the town still more
stable, more prosperous and larger ?
Cannot you gentlemen who ask and
receive honors at the hands Of the
citizens employ some of your time,
give some of your labor, to induce
capital to come into our midst that
both it and the town may bemutual-
ly aided ? Is it a struggle for self all
the time? Let every man become a
builder and require of those who
hoard and reap therewards, the per-

CONGRESSMAN DAVIS, of Chicago,
defends the River and Harbor bill
with all his force. He says he is in
favor of internal improvements, and
that the present River and Harbor
bill exceeds that of the last session
by something over $4,000 600. This
is made up almost entirely in appro-
priations made for the Mississippi
river and the Potomac fats. Taking
out these two items, the bill is not
larger than the increase Of business
or the population of the country de.
mands at this time.

Mining Situation of the Union
Con. Looking FavOrable-BulliOn
Company Will Pay All Labor
Bills.
VIRGINIA CRY, April 13.-The ore breasts
on the $500 level of the Union Con. con-
tinue to improve, particularly to the south
and eastward of the winze. To the north
ward there is also an improvement and it
is expected that good ore will come in at
the west. The yield this week will be
about 500 tons. On the 1900 level the
drift which has been started north from
winze No. 1, sometimes known as the west
winze, has penetrated some eight feet of
ore. This drift has undoubtedly struck
the southern part of the body Of ore now
being worked ON the $500 level. From
this ore body on the $500 to where it is cut
on the 2600 level il over 100 feet south and
about $50 feet southeast. This gives a
body OF ore over $50 feet long, reaching
above the $500 and extending to an I'M
known depth below the $500 level. The
ore found on the 2700 level in north drift
No. 8 will be prospected by a drift from
the 2900 level. The north drift mentioned
above has been turned over to the Sierra
Nevada.
Mr.. Humbert of the Bullion mine says
the company will pay all labor bills by

Immense quantities Of jute fiber In vari-
GUS forms are consumed on this coast in
soaking material-hundreds Of thousands
Of wheat sacks, to cay nothing Of wool,
ore, potato and sand sacks, besides bur-
laps and mating. All our supplies Of
this fiber come from India and China. and
are q great drain on the coast from a fnan-
cial point Of view. The climate in these
valleys IL well adapted TO the raising OF
jute, and there are no doubt many tracts
Of land which are particularly fitted for It.
As the culture and preparation Of the fiber
Is simple and inexpensive comparatively,
and the market prices always good, 1t will
In the near future become o feature In Pa
cife Coast farm products. Expensive
machinery has been put up in the prison
at San Quentin for the manufacture Of

ducing farmers to experiment In the Guilt

jute seed has been obtained by the au.
thorities for distribution. Responsible
farmers who desire to SOW some Of the

pected to be willing to experiment with 1t,
and assist In the establishment Of q great

The dispatches say that the Chinese
question il likely to be handled here
after in Congress as q partisan measure
for the manufacture of political thun-
der. It would seem that the time
for that sort of trickery has passed. The
sentiment in the premises should have
been Identical in both parties from the
beginning. Democrats and Republicans
both expressed their views on the sub.
ject formally in their national platforms.
The difference between the two parties
is that the M has proved itself consistent,
and the other has most ~fagrantly vic.
lated its pledges. The Democratic party
went solidly for anti-C Chinese legislation,
as a party /, as a party. the Republicans
went sufficiently solidly against ii to beat
Senator Millsr's bill. For the Republi.
cana to begin to crawl back now would
be a piece Of the most undigniied and
ridiculous party tactics conceivable. Any
effort at change of position on their part,
at this time, after deliberately defeating
the Anti Chinese bill, by refusing to pass
it over the Presidents veto, and having
previously done all they could to pre-.
vent its passage. will be made with such
Ill grace and such evident insincerity
that there will not be o man in the
United States . big enough fool to give
them credit for 3 genuine change Of
heart. They have made their bed, and
they will have to lie in it. That they
do not lie themselves out Of it will not
be for the lack Of willingness to do SO,
Their cunning endeavors to place the
Democrats in a false position, by forcing
unfit anti. Chinese legislation upon them,
will not be sucoessful. There are a few
weak brothers Of their own following
whom they may hoodwink in that way.
but they can nc longer deceive tie
masses Of the people in this matter.

The committees from both Houses Of
Congress have agreed upon and reported
bill providing for the manner Of elect
ing the President and Vice President of
the United States. 1t is presumed to be
adequate to cover all the emergencies
that have arisen in the past. and il also
framed with reference to possible COM
plications that may OCCUR in the future.
IT is to be hoped that it is as ample and
as accurate in all its provisions as it is
claimed to be. and that it will be so easy
of Interpretation as to obviate excited
discussion at the critical moment Of chos-
ing the Chief Magistrate and one who
may be called at any time ia take his
place. A recurrence Of such Q dispute
over the Presidency as took place when
the people were robbed Of their elected
President. whsn by fraud the exalted
office was withheld from Tilden and
given over to Hayes, might not be
hridged over again without . revolution.
That disgraceful and dangerous affair
suggested the legislation referred to
which every lover Of his country will
hope has been thoroughly digested and
will prove commensurate with its re-
quirements.

THE OHIO ELECTIONS.

The Republican majorities in Ohio
have been swept out of existence in the
recent city e~lections. The question was
beer. The law known as the Pond Law
was obnoxious TO the Germans, on ac-
count Of its restriction Of the liquor
traffic. 1t is not altogether apparent,
lust now, what effect will be produced
by this breaking away of the German
voters from the Republicans in the Fall
campaign. At best, however, it is not
calculated to improve the chances OF the
Republican nominees. The Republican
party is made up in large majority OF
those who cling to it without any sub
s~tantial reason. The issues oil the late
wal made the party. These issues are
dead. Their ghost comes up at every
election. Exhibited from every stump
dripping with ideal gore, it fills the
average Republican with W and rage.
He boils over with enthusiasm while the
fit is on, and spends the whole campaign
vigorously fighting the dead and buried
past. For the last l6 or II years he has
been brought repeatedly face to face
with the fact that by each election in
which his party has been successful, ne
has only been a subservient tool OF cum
ming leaders, who have excited his
emotions by graveyard appliances for
their own personal, selfish ~aggrandise-
ment. The venal prostitution of the
public service under Grant. the rotten
pret~entiousness Of the Hayes administra-
ton, the subserviency Of Arthur and his
crowd to the arrogant, people-despisinG,
recent-rich money kings Of the country,
have made it plain to him, between
elections, that his disinterested and
purely patriotic efforts have been util-
lied to impoverish and degrade him to
elevate and make sleek a ~coterie, with a
hungry and trucking retinue of politi-
cal hacks at their heels. This state OF
affairs has not escaped the notice OF him
whom we designate as the average Re-
publican, who is in the ranks, and whose
clutch is not ON the spoils upon which
his accidental superiors fatten. 1t is
hard to renounce allegiance to a political
party. Our pride, our hopes, u preju-
dices, are wound up in it. In spite of
its oft-proved hypocrisy and ~rottenness,
this fact has served to keep up the
vitality of the Republican party. But
its numerous tentacles, by which it has
literally been taking in the people for
over 20 years, are relaxing their grip.
The monster is powerful yet, but unless
it husbands its strength with scrupulous
care, the next national struggle will
leave it crushed and killed. The Ger
mans have left the Republicans tempo
rarily on local issues, but it is not likely
that they will swallow the offense that
their liberties have suffered and go back
to the Blacks. when there is every reason
why they should not and none why they
should.

The pro,pect. Not Encouraging.

The Prospects Not Encouraging.
WASHINGTON, April 1S.-Some OF the
strongest advocates OF legislation for the
suspension Of Chinese immigration now
admit that the prospects for such legisla-
ton at this session are not encouraging.
The Democrats charge that the Republi-
cans are ~maneuvering to patch up q bill
that will relieve them Of censure on the
Pacific Coast. and that they are looking
more to political effect than to the benefit
of the people. while the Republicans charge
the Democrats with scheming to make
capital, and secretly trying to prevent the
passage of any bill. A Senator said to-
day that he weuld not be surprised IL the
question should take @ purely partisan
shape.
Cobbs' Railroad Land Grant Bill.
WASHINGTON, April 1S.-In reference to
Cobbs' Railroad Land Grant bill, it is not
thought probable by the members of the
Judiciary Committee that any action will
be reached in the matter during the pres
ent session of Congress, inasmuch rs 1t
will require a two-thirds vote to pass the
bill if reported favorably by the commit
tee, and the members say it will be almost
impossible to secure such q majority in
the House.
Quarry Men ON n Strike.
LAMONT (Ill.), April 12.-One thousand

ers consider the demand exorbitant, and

cannot run them themselves.
