Hc Wol VI lHc W ltclliS SOllN cu-
tion is done. The victorious candi-
dates are developing the graspihg
powers of the right hand and wear
ing the smile that knows no ceasing.
The defeated ones have tumbled to
the racket-we beg pardon have "pre-
cipitated to the confusion"-and
yield gracefully and heroieally to the
will of the people as expressed
through their representatives. The
battle is on. Already the bugle blast
is beginning to be heard across the
State from Hancock county to Mer-
Ger. And in all these thousands of
towns, cross roads and village stores,
wherever the ticket will be proclaimed
and discussed the name of Monon-
gala man will come in with the rest
the name of B. S. Morgan for
State Superintendent of schools.
''What imports the nomination Of
this gentleman?
You are not ignorant of what ex-
cellence he possesses, my lord"
Whatever may be done elsewhere
surely political lines cannot be drawn
Oh this part of the ticket in this
county.
Already we hear declarations from
Democrats and Republicans alike,
that he will sweep the county and
that they, with might and main, will
help him do it.
Voters of the county, not only
local pride, but interests of a higher
nature--tile interests of education in
this new commonwealth of ours-de-
mand that you support the man who
has already done so much for the
free schools of this county.
He has attended our county schools
He has taught them He has grad
uated at our University. He has
been Principal of our Academy. He
has been for two terms County Super
intendent of our schools. In every
one of these varied positions and la
hors he has been successful. He has
brought honors upon the county and
given a decided impetus toits schools.
Though young he has had all this
educational experience and before
he is much older he will know how it
feels to be West Virginia's State Supt.
of Schools.
Two elements in particular will,
we think, be decidedly strong for him
in this county, viz: the young men
and the school teachers. or this lat
ter GLASS there are nearly or quite one
hundred active teachers within the
limits of the county, besides many
others who have for the time being
at least retired from the work.
We do not see why they should not
unite to work ANA vote for Morgan.
Political prejudice should not for
an instant be weighed against the
interests Of our schools-the hope and
surety of the common wealth.
Then, teachers, wherever you are
scattered throughout the county, do
not be afraid Or sfow to 'rise in
meetin' and tell what heilas done for
you," His cause is your cause and
our cause, and for this reason we ask
you to help send up a victory for
Monongalia, our free schools, and
the right.

What will the fusionists do at
Parkersburgh to-day? To say the
least they will probably have some
fun. The InteNigencer has been for
several days vociferously demanding
the withdrawal Of the Buckhannon
nominees and the substitution of a
republican ticket made Of straight
eoods-all wool and yard wide.
Other leading republicans yell "you
cant do it!' They don't intend that
this convention shall be bossed in the
same style the Martinsburg conven-
ton was. So far as the Democrats
are concerned it makes little differ
ence, Maxwell cannot possibly be
elected if he is endorsed, if he is with
drawn, his following will be dissatis-
fed aud much of it go with him. The
dfsreputable fusion scheme has de-
poralized the republican party more
than anything it has done in ten
years in this State.

Many interesting facts illustrative of the damage done by hydraulic mining in Califor nia came out in the trial of the case which has just been decided against the hydraulic miners. The nozzle used by the North Bloomfield Mining company discharges l85,000 cubic feet of water every hour, with velocity of fifty feet second. The bulk of the debris yearly deposited in the rivers is enormous. Judge Sawyer in his opinion es inmates the quantities now in tae tributaries of the Tuba alone at seven hundred million cubic yards. They are fairly choked with it. When the floods come these huge masses of rubbish are hurried down into the valleys But the beds of the larger rivers nave beef filling up for years. The result is that in the flood season they overflow right and left, burying the farm lands of the valley under layers of sand and broken up stone. Up to 1879, as the State engineer figures it out, the Tuba had thus deposited over seventy-ons mil lions of cubic yards of debris, converting from fifteen thousand to sixteen thousand acres of good arabic soil into desert. The State has spent nearly or quite half 8 million upon brush dams; private owners have put up costly levees at their own expense; but al has been in vain. The damage to property from these overfiows is only one item. The towns have suffered, the rivers are already badly injured and, if the mischief had been suffered to go on, would presently have been unnavigable.

| look small reductions on silks perhaps, Som- pared with what one often sees advertised, but they have the advantage of being GENU- uSE reductions on goods already the cheapest in the market. During this sale also our en- tire line of $1 % Colored Silks (without tx- ception) will be sold at 900. Many special reductions will alao be made, which we can not enumerate here. Our entire stock of Knit Goods has been marked down. A lot of Hoods, all kinds of odds and ends at 25c are bargain, Jackets, Leggins, &c., all reduced.
 Turkey Red Damask 60 inches wide at 42c. The best value we ever offered in Towels at 12 1-2 and 25c. These latter are especially deserving of notice. Scotch Table Napery at prices that none can beat. For Scotch Lin ems it is surely best to go to Scotch firms store We are nearly cleaned out of Blank cts but have made some almost absurd prices on some of the small remainders, and we have two cases coming in some time this week that will be offered at prices that will aston ihh the most experienced buyers. All our Mems Winter Under wear is reduced all our Scarfs are cheaper. We have some marvel ous bargains to give in broken lots of Half Hose.
 We have no space for further enumer tion, but would only say in conclusion that if you see any apparently low price quoted on anything elsewhere, come and see what we are selling it for before you buy.
 
 We don't mean to carry over any winte goods. It is always remarked of our store how fresh everything always looks. The se- cret of that is THAT WE KNOW HOW TO CLOSE OUT.

The drummer is the subject of much dis cussion in some of the Georgia papers. In Georgia they require drummers to take out a license that is practically prohibitory. The Savannah News takes the side of the drum mers, and also the sensible side of the ques- tion, as follows: Remove the tax and cer- tain merchants say that Savannah will be ov- errun with drummers who will cut rates, in their desire to get business, to such an extent that they will practically ruin the trade of a certain class of local merchants. It may be that there ara few houses whose business
 will not be improved by opening the city to drummers. but the people will be benefited.

The analyses of snake poisons, made last summer by Drs. Weir, Mitchell and Reichert. have bsen fully confirmed by other investiea tors. All of the venoms examined are essen. tially alike; in every case they are made up of three proteid bodies. The first reduces blood pressure, induces swellings (oedema), and finally brings about patrsfactive effects Toe second is virulent substance, one twentieth of grain of which will kill pig con in two hours; it gives rise in few min stes after injection to enormous initiation of blood into the neighboring tissue. The pois onous properties of the third substance are doubtful. The object of the analyses is to eliminate the venomous principle, so that ex- periments may be made as to what drug can be used to the best advantage in neutralizing it.

 There are some pretty independent Repub-
 lcans in Philadelphia who do not heartily respond to the pleas of the party managers and organs that they will support the ma chine ticket ground out by packed conven- ton last week, because of the influence of the city election next month oa the national contest next fall. As one of the most promi nent manufacturers and strongest supporters of the party puts it: These felio xs have become so emboldened by the idea that the people will swallow anything because it is the Presidential year, and because they don't want to defeat the ticket, that they seem to have.completely lost their heads. They say: "Well, they'll have to take it, whether they like it or not" But they will find that tha business men won't take it. They think they can whip the business men into line by hold ing up the tariff bugaboo before them Now, l guess I am interested in the tariff as much as anyone, but cannot be frightened from my convictions by the talk that this is the skirmish line of the Presidential battle. and that we must have all the offices filled with Republicans.
 Some interesting figures are given in Lon. don Truth. showing the earnings of we'll known writers. Disraeli, it is stated, made by his pen 93O ,OOO; Byron, e23, ,0OO.
