The importance attaching to the
election of Congressman this fall is
having the effect to stimulate the
voters to great activity, and both Re-
publicans and Democrats will work
hard for the victory. The Republi-
cans recognize the necessity of hard
work to hold their own, and the Dem
ocrats see that to get control of the
next House they will haye to work
hard. Each party recognizes the i'm
portance ofcontroi1ing the next House
of Congress if they would elect the
next President. All Republicans will
be expected to do their whole duty,
and when done the result will not be
doubtful. Let none hold back. No
good Republican should falter or
hesitate on personal grounds as to
what he should do in this important
contest. The contest involves too
much to even think ofself. Let there
be general rally for Republlcanism
and hearty support of Republican
nominees.-C2 drksblrg Telegram.

The West Virginia Republicans
haYe not been able to elect a Repre-
sentative to Congress for some years,
as the State has been so gerryman-
dered as to make a solid Democratic
delegation certain. They believe,
however, that there is a fighting
chance for them in the Second and
Fourth districts this years, and they
will see what an earnest effort will
accomplish.

Out of the chaos of the present poiit-

The recent convention, held at
Keyser, placed two candidates-Hon.
John Blair Hoge and Hon. Daniel
B. Lucas-in nomination for Con-
gress from the Second district of
West Virginia, thereby causing a
division in the ranks which it was
feared would result in the defeat of
the Democracy. The State Execu-
tive Committee met at Grafton Mon
day to devise plan for healing the
breach. Both candidates were with
drawn by mutual consent, and a call
was issued for a convention, to be
held at Piedmont, September Goth,
to nominate new candidate.

A leading Democratic journal, for
prudence sake" assumes that the
Democrats will not be able to make
the South solid in 1884, but will be
able to secure 1873 of its 1913 votes.
This being the case the Northern
States must furnish sixty eight votes
to bring the Democratic party into
power in 1884. 1t thinks that New
York, California, Indiana, Nevada
and New Jersey, having seyenty-one
votes may insure Democratic victo-
ry. Better wait a few months before
making estimates.

1t has been estimated by Brad
streets that there are 100000 miles
of fence in the United States, the cost
OF which has been more than $1,000
100000, or about 1926 a mile. For
merly the fences of farms were built
of wood, and the annual repairs put
a heavy tax on farmers. The last
census shows that the cost of such
repairs in 1877 was S7S 500, 900, Most
farm fences are now built of wire,
and 10000 miles Of such fence were
built in 1881, at cost of $40, 900, 900,
or about half the cost per mile of the
old wood fences.

Last week a gravel train near
Youngstown, Ohio, was attacked bv
a large Durham bull, which not onlv

the bull, but almost equally so to the

CALIFORNIA FLOUR IN TEXAS.

Dallas has been on its ear during the
week about California flour. In quality it
is, as General Burgoyne said of Napoleon's
Waterloo campaign, above criticism"
Ever since the railroads were finished
Texas has been buying great deal OF its
bread from Kansas and Missouri. Long In
quiet possession of the trade and the field,
they thought they had fee-simple title to
it. The first California pioneer miller trav-
eler- argonaut, evangelist, or whatever
Oscar Wilde or some other humbug might
call a drummer-arrived IN Texas three
weeks ago, and straightway offered flour
at SIS per barrel, f. o. b., to which add
81 Is freight, and they had it in our depot
at 81 ia tip-top royal article, good
enough for a Tom Ochiltree din
uer to a deep water committee.
The first two cars got here the other day.
The bakers seized it, the cooks went for
it, the epicure stood by as long as there
was biscuit or piece of cake left on the
plate. The retailers who were fortunate
enough to get whack at it, at once cut
down the price. first ten. then twenty, then
thirty cents per hundred under Kansas and
Missouri It is at least 81 per barrel
cheaper than Western -four and about 81
better. And thus, at one blow, Kansas
and Missouri have lost their best customer.
It is, like Prentices dead year, "gone and
forever" for it is out of the question for
any country to compete with California in
wheat and flour. Huntington is giving
them anything they ask in the way, Of
freight rates to Texas You will have this
-four in New Orleans as soon as the deluge
subsidies and the dove fails TO come home.
And may that be soon.-[Dallas (Texas)
