home of that grand old pioneer
Mr.. VIM. A. Love, the friend and
helper OF every good cause.
Among the good things here,
next to hearty welcome and kind
words, we are helped to rich and
luscious corn bread, and are alto
gether happy, as any tired, hungry
editor would De.
A pleasant evening, a good
nights rest, an early walk and talk
with our venerable host, across his
fine farm to the station, and the )
o'clock train hurries us down to
breakfast at
BUSY HUNTINGTON.
All the things we saw and heard
during our two days stay in this
busy, growing city, will never be
written. We mention a few things
in another column from a business
standpoint. Many things we might
say from a temperance and moral
standpoint, had we time and room,
but for the present we must sum-
Marie and say that Huntington is
emphatically busy, enterprising
and rapidly growing city, and that
IT'S GREAT CURSE IS ITS SALOONS,
1t has many bold, brave and
fearless advocates of Temperance
and the Right, and while the liquor
men are just now very insolent
and defiant, there is an aggressive
spirit developing for the protection
Of Huntington's homes that will
soon be felt and respected.
A brief account Of the Temper
ance Mass Meeting will be found
on Huntington's page of this issue,
where we observe" to some extent
also on the "business boom" of the
city.
For lack of room we are compell-
ed to defer notes of our trip from
here to Charleston, taking in the
Kanawha Association, and thence
through Point Pleasant on our re-
turn.

WEDNESDAY, AUG. 8, 1888
Whip Them In.

w nile our l1Co Leg lSlaGuTe udu
under consideration the Prohibi-
ton Amendment, and the House
had passed it, the following, among
much other stuff, appeared in the
Washington, Cd. CO. Sentinel, a
beer brewers organ, and liquor ad-
vocate sheet, which presumed al
so to speak for Democracy:
"The Democrats have a majority
in both Houses. If the Senate
should also adopt that amendment
West Virginia will have ceased to
be Democratic State. The pro-
hibitory proclivities of a portion of
the West Virginia Democracy
made themselves felt already at the
last election. For whilst the De-
mocracy in all other Western
States gained great victories, be-
cause they favored and the Repub-
licans opposed personal liberty, the
Weet Virginia Democrats came
very near losing all their Congress
men and merely carried the State
by very mach reduced majority.
The passage of the above amend
ment will not merely disgust many
Democrats with that un-Democrat-
ic apostasy and open violation of
the Cincinnati platform, but drive
thousands from the State.
Not merely the West Virginia
Congressional delegation but all the
Congressional delegations should
intervene in their own behalf.
They should demonstrate to the So
called West Virginia Democrats
that, whilst they may claim the
privilege to hang themselves, they
have no right to put the rope
around the necks of the Democrats
of adjoining States who remain
still faithful to the old creed of the
party and do not steal Republican
planks and principles.
If the Democratic leaders enter
tain any hopes for success in 1884
they had better mend the West
Virginia fences as quickly as pos
sible."
In another issue, the same pa
per, speaking of Missouri, as well
as West Virginia, said:
eve demand that our Democrat
ic Congressman and Senators shall
Immediately consult together and
instruct the West Virginia and
Missouri Legislators to adhere to
the old principles of the party,
Honor, self-interest, and self-pro-
lection, indeed the threatened life
of your party, command you to ex
ert yourselves in these instances
and take immediate action in the
premises.
We shall publish the name of
the member or senator who will
take the iniatiative in this life
question as that of a benefactor to
his party and country, and the best
man to carry the Democratic ban
ner at the next Presidential cleo
ton =
Iuasmuch as the Amendment re-
ceived almost the solid support Of
the Republicans in both Houses
in West Virginia, it is not clear to
ushow the personal liberty" ad-
vocates would better themselves by

Phenomena OF Death.


Aphysician of this city has made the
phenomena of death n special study; by
careful observation and lengthy consul.
tation with his brother doctors, he has
acquired fund of interesting facts and
suggestions regarding the fatal moment
which all humanity sooner or later have
to experience.

mean that the moment of dissolution APP.
proaches as uncounsciously as sleep
the soul leaves the world as painless
as it enters it. Whatever be the
causes of death, whether by
lingering malady or sudden
violence, dissolution comes either
through syncope or asphyxia. In the
latter case when resulting from disease,
the struggle is long, protracted, and nc.
companied by all the visible marks of
agony which the imagination associates
with the closing scene of life-the
pinched and paid features, the cold,
clammy skin, the upturned eyes, and
the heavy, laborious, rafting respira-

gans of the body at the same time; some
may be said to survive others, and the
lungs are tho last to give up the per-
Torrance of their functions. As death
approaches the latter become gradually
more and more oppressed; the air cells
are loaded with an increased quantity of
the fluid which naturally lubri-
Gates the surface; the atmosphere
can then no longer come into
contact with the minute blood vessels
spread over the air cells without first
permeating this viscuous fuid-hence
tho rattle. Nor is the contact suffi.
GENTLY perfect to change the black
venous into the red arterial blood; an
unprepared fluid consequently issues
from the lungs into the heart, and is
thence transmitted to every other organ
of the body The brain receives it, and
its energies appear to be lulled to sleep
generally tranquil sleep-filled with
dreams which impel the dying to muir
muir out the names OF friends and the
occupations and recollections of past
life. The rustic 'babbles of green fields,

The prospects of Los Angeles having
an allotment Of letter carriers to distri-
butte the mail throughout the city would
be far better if tho streets were properly
numbered, as they ought to be. 1t is
not much to tho credit of the Council
that this has not been done long ago.
Our population and the business trans
acted here fully justify our having this
sensible accommodation; but, on the
other hand, the absence of an intelli-

strong points. In letter to Postmas.

ONE OF the most remarkable circum-

the fact that Perry Belmont was right
"peart and smart young man. In adj

the question Of interoceanic canals, and
has left his ear-marks on the debates
concerning those important matters.
Fifty young men, quite as smart as Perry
Belmont have put in an appearance as
Democratic members Of Congress during
the past ten years, but there are little
circumstances that have been lacking
to their success. In the first place,
Perry Belmont is the son of his father,

father is worth ten or fifteen million

What Becomes OF Prize Fighters


Mr., James Mace, we are informed,
intends to make this country his home,
and to open liquor shop. Such a
course is entirely in accordance with the
precedents. As the defeated member OF
Congress hides his diminished head in a
foreign mission or a government clerk
ship, as the English statesman, wearied
of the turmoils of the Commons, finds in
the House OF Lords tranquil asylum
for his old age, so the pugilist, stated
with the honors of the ring, reverts to
the ease and profit OF bar, and loves to
fight his battles over behind his own

the Legislature, which has been here
trying to get at the bottom of the man
agement of the Territorial Prison, and
investigating the Ehrenberg road. con-
cluded their labors to-day. They elected
but little that was new. They found
that the Commission had transacted the
business as individuals rather than as
Board, and have left but little record of
what they have done. The ex-Sccre-
tary of the Board, IL. n. Alexander,
has transacted most of the business as
an individual. and refused to account to
anyone for his private affairs, and the
committee was powerless. Those with
whom the business was done say that
they had no dealings with the
Prison Commission or the Terri,
tory OF Arizona, and refuse to re.
veal their transactions with pri-
vate individuals Commissioner Frank
and Councilman Knapp visited Perry,
Woodwork x Co., of Los Angeles,
from whom most of the purchases were
made, but they refused to give access
to the books, or throw any light upon
the tangled web of the manner in which
their purchases We're made. Judge
Mabbett also refused to testify in regard
to matters within his knowledge. They
found, it is understood, that the United
States Government had paid, for the
care of prisoners, about $4,000 in checks,
payable to IL. n. Alexander, Secretary
of the prison, and the proceeds placed
to his individual credit in the bank
