The Death of Young Guillot.

The following letter from a citizen of
Sweetwater to Mr.. Guillot, of this city,
gives the particulars of the untimely death
of that gentlemans son;
Once of Texas Land Company Sweetwater,
Texas, March 3. lSsS-Nr NJ, Guillog
DEAR SiR-I received your letter of the
LIST instant and respond in French, as il is
quite difficult for me to express myself In
English. You requested Of me the partIc.
ulars OF the sad affair which led to the
tragical death of your son. My friend,
am conscious of opening afresh q painful
wound, but first let me assure you that
your son met his fate fearlessly, bravely.
He could have saved his life,
but he preferred death to the dis.
honor of cowardice Max. and
had been driving all the morning over the
company's lands, and had Just returned to
dinner, when Mr., Chiilet came and told
Max that the saloon was thronged and to
come as soon as he could. We dined to-
gether, MS usual, and after lingering little
over our cigars, we walked together to the
saloon, where We 10 ,' ! voting 20 my nc.

walking back to the stove had scarcely
seated myself when my attention was
called to u loud noise Mt the entrance door,
ana saw that Mr.. Chifllet was trying to
eject several men, who seemed determined
TO enter by force. But thought nothing
amiss, as they had often been obliged to
expel riotous persons. Presently | heard
several shots, and on arising to go TO the
front well directed ball took off my hat.
Being unarmed, concealed myself behind
a billlnrd.table TO escape the shower OF
bullets that rained In all directions.

ness OF death! called, but no answer
came; the most intense stiffness reigned.
When the smoke had cleared away could
see the extent OF the tragedy-Mf. Chiille,
dead upor the threshold and your poor
son liieless by his side. The villains had
done their work well. The cause OF the
crime was jealousy, because Max and Mr..
Chiiilet carried on prosperous business to
their detriment. Max was universally
loved here, and the good citizens OF Sweet
water will avenge his death. Forgive me
for giving YOU so many details; they must
necessarily be painful to you. In conclu.
sion, permit me to express TO your family
my heartfelt coincidence. Very sincerely
yours, j. Atwood,

Very Bad for Dorsey,

The testimony of Rerdell, the in

Our Own school Men.

In referring to West Virginia School

they have done, but the world moves

An Opportunity Still Left.

Our neighbor,the Grafton Sentinel,
comes down pretty hard on Us for
defeating the late railroad PROPOSE
ton, and then tenders us the follow
ing bit of advice. that we believe to
be good:
at would be doing great injustice
to the many progressive and enter
prising citizens of Monongalia coun-
ty, to say that because that county
lras voted down each repeated effort
to secure a railroad in the county
that they are all opposed to railroads
over there. Such is not the case.
There are many good enterprising
citizens of that county who know
and feel the importance of railroad
communication, and who are willing
and will do anything in Their power
to bring the people Of that county out
of the woods. The most feasible OPP
portunity now, it seems to us, for the
people of Morgaatown and the dis
trict in which it is situated, is to turn
their attention to the projected Nor
gantown and Iron Valley road.
This would give them railroad out
let that would prove highly valuable
to them We believe that there is
already a handsome subscription
voted to this road by the district
of which Morgantown is a part.
Valley district in Preston has voted
$4,000 to this road, and Grafton
district $4,000. With these sub
scriptions and what can be raised by
private subscription the road could
be constructed. Our Grafton aud
Greenbrier is going right along, and
in few weeks the grading will be
completed. Now build a road to
Morgantown, and then a continue
ton north and south will follow in
eyitably. This is the opportunity
that is still open to our Morgantown
friends and those of the county who
want railroad and feel the need Of
one

Racket Over the school Fund.

The closing hours Of our Legisla>
ture have been made very sad by
the din and uproar over the School
Fund. From what we can learn Of
the matter, the case stands about
thus:
When the Republicans were in
power they unlawfully took and car
ried away from the Treasury certain
sixty thousand dollars, the property
of the School Fund then and there
being, and endeavored to restore the
same BY false and fraudulent entries
upon the Auditors reports, but no
money was ever really paid back into
the treasury. Since the Democrats
have come into power, they have bor-
rowed one hundred and twenty seven
thousand dollars of the same fund for
which they agree to pay legal interest,
but which they will not agree to pay
back. The Republicans plead not
guilty to the stealing and are bowling
for the Democrats to pay back that
money before 1884, when the Repub-
licans expect to come into power. The
Democrats say the money is doing
enough good where it is but clamor
for that sixty thousand dollars.
All of which will furnish material
for plenty of reform resolutions and
will end in the Democrats agreeing
to pay the 1927, 900 and the Republi-
cans doing penance for their sins and
iniquities by voting the temperance
ticket at the next election, since
there is no penitcntiary big enough
to hold them. Wetzel Democrat.

n Blessing i'm Disguise.

The Democratic party has not had
the pleasure and comfort, since it has
been in the flesh, of receiving large
number Of blessings in disguise.
There is one Of these Of very large
proportions now making its appear
ance. The iron mills and merchants
Of the West are beginning to tumble
in bankruptcy. The Telegraph and
other Pittsburgh papers are frantic
to find a plausible cause for these
failures. The tariff on iron is as high
as mountain top, and that great
cure for all the ills of the worlds pop
ulation is still in the keeping of q
Congress with large majority of the
grand old party" Had the Com
gress of "free traders" which the
great unwashed," elected last No
vember, been in power, the howl
that the Democracy had ruined the
country would have been SO loud and
deep that sleep and rest would have
been found in this vain world no more.
The majority had strength enough
last winter to vote lawfully elected
Democrats out Of their seats and put
Republicans in their places, but they
have FILTERED away two years Of time
in humilianting wrangle over the
measure that was q leading issue in
their election. The Republican who
can now find some plausible pretext
for charging this dsgraceful failure
on the Democracy, will at once come
to the front as the greatest patriot
and wisest statesman Of the age. In
the mean time, the iron establish
ments at Youngstown, Chicago and
st. Louis continue to fail in the face
Of the persistent declarations that a
high protective tariff secures unbro-
ken prosperity. Thereis not even the
that could be derived
from charging the disasters on the
free trade Democrats" under the in
fiuence of British gold' and the pau
per labor Of Europe. The Republi-
cans have the President, all the de-
partments and both houses of Con
gress had the highest protective
tariff ever known in the annals of
legislation. In fact. duties are now
so monstrously high, that the tariff
Commission, composed Of manufac-
turers and the Ways and Means com
mlttee with pig iron" Kelley at its
head, have recommended an abate- |
ment of 20 per cent. But in the face
Of this tariff soothing syrup, the
country is startled with the alarming
cry of iron failure. What is now to I
be done? Let the great statesmen
aold a eonclave and agree to revive
md inyigorate their old financial
1yrotechnies Shoot the tariff, like
| rocket, 10 the very clouds, ana see /
f there is not still balm in Gilead? |
Let them tear themselves and cut
heir flesh with knives and cry aloud |
)erchance Protection sleepeth aud |
will finally come to the rescue
In the meantime what a glorious
star is set in the bright crown of the
Democracy, in the providential fact
hat these things occurred before the
Democracy came into power. Had
such things happened after the meet
ng of the next house, when Demo
rats will be in majority, the world
would have been too small to have !
