S.P. Wells, Esq, of Parkersburg,

days ago. We asked him about
Frank Robinson, at Grafton, and
about P. B. Reynolds and Baylus
Cade. "For such men," said Bro.
Wells, "West Virginia owes Rich
mond College a debt Of gratitude,
and I propose to pay you 500 for
the Jeter Memorial Hall, as a feeble
token of my appreciation of the
work of your college" Bro. Wells

he came down into West Virginia
where he has won wealth and honor.

The Journal speaks of the FREE
MANS "penchant to denounce as
hypocrites and tipplers all who do
not adopt its peculiar views" The
FREEMAN has no such penchant,
its views are not peculiar, and the
one thing it never does, is to de-
nounce anybody for anything.
Since it's first issue the FREEMAN
has never applied the term 'hypo-
critic" or "tippler," to anybody. 1t
has another sort of dictionary en-

the little clashings of opinion and

just themselves, and the fact that

cent election in Parkersburg were
found about equally divided be-

will only result in drawing them
closer together for mutual protec-

any mistake the Developments Of

VIVA, a GERMAN Newspaper Says.


We Germans are in general not inclined
to believe at once in great announcements
and puffs; we are rather suspicious, and
often with perfect right, of exaggeratiOns
and humbugs. Our motto is What the
eve sees the heart believes and we
thet. pre- desire TO see and examine our
selves before we speak about things and
praise them. This was our idea when we
heard and read 80 much about DR.. \. ).
Richmond's Justly celebrated Worlds Epi-
leptic Institute, and we therefore sent
reporter to the building. We are now able
to give the best information on the subject,
based on personal review and examination
of the premises.
Our reporter found DR.. Richmond in his
office. The doctor kindly received him,
and not only answered all his questions,
but showed and explained everything about
the place to him. His office is on the first
floor of the building, and its walls are
covered with thousands OF photographs OF
gentlemen and ladies restored to health by
the use of Samaritan Neryine, among whom
our reporter recognized many of his own
Countrvmen, and its glass cases contain
innumerable certificates OF cures and letters
in praise Of this worldfamous remedy.
About ten yearsago DR.. Richmond came to
st. Joseph. He was then poor young
man, WIFI OUT lllllc anu hO II ASuuS
to assist him. He rented a small office on
Francis street, and commenced the struggle
for.succesS single-handed and alone. He
has achieved a grand triumph, in the face
of stubborn opposition on every hand, and
is to-day one of the wealthiest men in our
midst. This fact alone is amply sufficient
to show the merits of his invaluable prep
aration, even though there were no other
sources from which to procure valid and
reliable testimony.
But besides the money which this great
medicine has been the means OF bringing to
the inventor, the doctor receives daily the
blessings of thousands of patients restored
to health and happiness through his instru-
mentality These letters are open for in
spection at his Office, and it requires two
clerks to attend to this branch OF the bust
ness.
DR.. Richmond is a living example to be
initiated by all young men who have dis
position TO reach eminenCe in the world by
diligence in the use OF their own exertions,
and besides the enjoyment of the prosper
ity which surrounds him, he has the salts
faction to be regarded human benefactor

maximum speed of twelve knots an
hour. Yhis would be entirely unable TO
compete in point of speed with the mer-
chant steamers Of foreign countries. we
spend four times as much as Austria TO
maintain feet and yet have none TO

out the useless expenditures and ire
sponsible management OF our Navy
Department, and urges thorough re-
construction that will secure economy
in expenditure and responsibility OF Its
heads. AS first step it suggests enlist
ing competent mechanics in the navy
instead of employing civilians, and
shows how our coasts and harbors may
be most securely and cheaply protected
by torpedos and rams, while an efnclent
navy can be constructed. These last 10
have prodigious speed, large capacity
for coal, comparatively few and long
range guns, and the fewest men posi-
bic as such vessels could be most destruc-
tive 20 the commerce ofan enemy.

Tue TARIFF REvIsoRY COMMISSION.

Now that after many tribulations tne
TARIFF Commission bill has become law
Il ia announced that the President Is 10
have great difficulty in constituting tue
Commission. Naturally enough the
GREAT producing interests are interested
in the work to be undertaken; but we
assume that the work marked out by
the terms of the law i quite well com
pretended by the President. Inc law
does not authorize the COMMISSION U
frame a tariff bill. 1t provides Ior
thorough investigation into the lacts Vi
nroduciion and its necessities, with
view to better understanding OF the
whole matter by the proper committee
when these facts and needs shall De lalu
before Congress.
AS the CommissionIisEiimited as to
numbers, it follows that not all OF the
great industries can be represented In IL
by persons connected severaily Win
those industries. Nor is it necessary.
In a quest for facts men OF intel
ligence, ofeXperience in STATISTICS ana Vi
known integrity constitute the most
effective agencies possible 10 DE secureu.
It's to be assumed that the poilcy Oh
protection is the policy that Will rule III
this country for some time to come at
all events, because the people nave so
expressed their will for more tnan
twenty years whenever they nave nau
q chance. That admitted, the question
of tariff policy does not enter into the
business with which the Commission Is
to be charged. 1t is to ascertain the
facts, and to lay those facts before Con-
gress on the first Monday in December
next.
Were it possible to constitute such
commission of colorlesS minds, or OF
men who can divest their minds or all
prejudice bred in schools or in discussion,
wemight in that way secure the highest
possible results. Schoolmen are pro-
Verbally obstinate end prejudiced. The
mere doctrinaire is 4 person in whom all
theories adopted beca me crystalllzed ana
refractory. Such person, though con,
scious of no design TO color facts, Will
generally color them, and with the col
Ors of his own way of thinking. we
s,IppOse il would be better not to en-
plov experts in political economy upon
such commissions. 1t is not likely that
the President will appoint n0torl-
Gus extremists. But were he to do
that, they could at most follow out their
special lines of thought in asking ques-
tions. The Commissioners are really
jury, empanelled to hear the testimony
of practical menin every branch OF pro-
ductive industry, but Without the power
TO balance the testimony of one man
against another. Congress will do this,
if it is to be done. Hence we see no good
reason why the President should finds 1t
very difficult to appoint the Commission.
He will have to choose between a con-
siderable number of persons, no doubt.
But no man better comprehends the pur-
pose ofthe Commission, and none bet
ter understands that to constitute 1t
with reference to any particular school
of economists would he to defeat the pur-
pose of the law. We want honest, in
telligent men; men o. s.LalrS, practical
men, so far as possible, and with such
the work will be well done.

This Years peach Crop.

"
For more than twenty years past the
peach crop of Delaware has been great
but painfully uncertain factor i'll the
prosperity of the people. 1t is this ele-
ment of uncertainity in the crop that
has helped the great Peninsular staple
to vile the peach grower to ms
destruction, and in poor peach years
there are not few who say that we
have lost by peaches more than we
have gained. A lately published table
showingthe shipments by rail since 1873,
exhibits the remarkable variations TO
which the crop has been subject within
the last fifteen years. OF course the
whole crop was much larger than the
figures in this table indicate, since
heavy shipments are always made by
water, but the great bulk of the Della
ware crop goes by rail, and the great
bulk of the peaches shipped by rail are
from Delaware.
In 1867 the shipment were 2,Oo6 car
loads, but in 1858 the crop was practl-
cal failure, only % carloads being
shipped. Then came five years OF COM
paratively good crops, the highest ship
ments being 1904 in 1872, and the low
est ., $50 carloads i'm 1878. In 1874 the
shipments were but 1885 carloads,
and then came the great peach year OF
1875, when the largest cropever known
was marketed, and peaches were glut,
selling for a mere song. Over 5000 car
loads were shipped. Since then the
crop has twice fallen very low, III 1873,
when the shipments were but 500 car
loads, and last year when they were but
rs carloads. If present indications do not
prove disappointing, this years crop
will be a paying one. 1t will not likely
be too large because the acreage in
peach tress has been geeatly reduced,
the market has been extended apd the
country is prosperous enough to permit
people to indulge in luXuries.
There have been few years in which
the crop has been more important.
Last years failure of the crop has serl-
ously crippled the resources OF peach
farmers, while considerable capital,
sunk in drying and preserving estab-
lishments, depends upon this years crop
To make it profitable. The growers OF
this country, too, who held on to their
faith in peaches after successive disasters
and while neighbOrs were roofing out
the trees by hundreds are waiting anX-
iously to see their faith vindicated
and the hope they have staked upon it
realized. This county is not likely
again to be the chief peach growing
region of the Peninsula, the center hav-
ing shifted down into upper and middle
Kent, but the crop is still important
enough here to make two successive
bad years serious calamity, and it is
doubtful whether peach growers gener-
ally have yet fully felt the influence of
the revival of business that has brought
prosperity to almost every other branch.

Our Navy.

The article written by Commander
GOrringe for the last number OF the
North America Reriel0 is brief, but very
interesting. Its purposes is to point
out the possibility of the United States
being involved in war with England,
France, Mexico, or Chill, and the utter
inefficiency of our present navy to conf
pete with either OF them. We have
only fourteen unarmOred cruisers avail
able for war service, and twelve old
fashioned monitors, which have poor
seagoing qualities and no fitness for con-
test with armOr-plated vessels with their
modern guns. The fourteen I'M
armOred cruisers are scattered, for
show purposes all over the
world, and could not be collected in
less than six months. At the distance
of a mile the guns of our monitors
could only make a slight indentation OF
the armOr of foreign war vessels, while
each IF those vessels carries one or more
guns that would penetrate the sides OF
