Martinsburg independent. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1875-1900, 1884-09-20


last week that the republicans had
organized Blaine & Logan club
at our villege, with G. G. Getzen-
danner resident DR.. ID. w Border,
Secy, and Capt. Josh Hamill,
Seargent-at-Arms, I have heard
that the Captains name was put
on q Cleveland and Hendricks club
at Kearneysville, which organized
with 8 or 10 members. Capt.
Josh says he is o member of the
B & L. club and the democrats
have worried him enough about it.
This is free country and if he
don't want to wear shoes he can
go bare-footed; hurrah for the cap
tain!
We had a printed notice that
Hon. e. B. Faulkner and Mr..
Simpson would address the people
here last Saturday evening. And
there was as many republicans as
democrats attended. Some came
as far as four and six miles to
hear the arguments on the assess
mert question, dc, They were
sadly disappointed. The people
want the issues of the present.
They don't want any bugle sound
to summons the old war horse to
ranks, &c, as our speaker said,
and he having served with Gener-
al Gorden knew the people would
remember the old bugle sound.
Our people have not forgotten
the grand mass meeting held at
Martinsburg last Spring. No sir,
that meeting is still a green spot
in the garden of their memory
never to be erased Many of us
were there, regardless Of party.
We then endorsed the sentiment
of that meeting and endorsed the
speeches and we still endorse
them. To-day we havenot forgot
ten who made them and who en-
dorsed them Thera-f0ra We went
to hear the reason that this demo-
cratic ticket should be voted for.
But alas !? we were doomed to
sad disappointment, It was only
the same old war issue, sound the
bugle and the old war horse will
come to the call. So must demo
cracy came to the polls and vote,
no matter whether right or wrong.
Yes, sirs, you must vote this tick
ct even if you think that the as
sessment business was unjust
unconstitutional. You must vote
for Wilson, for all--you can't even
scratch the Judges No, even Flick
must be defeated, Now what we
want to know is the reason for
some of the prominent speakers
at that meeting for changing. Can
one farmer tell his neighbor farm
er what he does it for? Come my
friends, and explain? we must
have good reason, why you have
taken another view Of the matter.
Can the intelligent class Of the
counties of Berkeley and Jefferson
afford to cast their votes for the
men they condemned. No sir;
we here in Jefferson will show
them by her vote in October that
they have reaped their just re
ward. And it will be done by
democratic votes. / know, and it
gives me infinite pleasure to know
and feel that the better feeling of
the people of my sister county of
Berkeley will throw off the yoke
of bondage and with one common
voice lay low and bury deep in a
political grave those who uphold
this assessment business.

The time will come and is not dis
tant when contiguous water power
will be untitled to generate electric
ity for lighting cities, towns, villages,
and even solitary residences. y
French eXperimenter has recently sue
ceeded ia using the fall of II stream
eight miles distant with wire one
twelfth of an inch in diameter to light
10 Edison lamps. From this it
would seem that distance is not an
obstacle in transmitting the electric
force, except that it adds to cost.
There would appear to be no reason
why water power, even to distance
of hundred miles, might not be APP
piled in Lighting our largest cities.

Some idea of the enormous body OF
lands involved in the unearned rail-
road grants in the United States, may
be found from the following state
ments: These lands together embrace
about $1,000 square miles, which is
more land than is contained alto
gether in the states of Connecticut,
Delaware; Maryland, Massachusetts,
New Hampshire, New Jersey, Rhode
Island, Vermont and Indiana. The
area is nearly twice as large as En-
gland and Wales; is three times as
large as Ireland is six times larger
than Denmark and eight times larger
than Belgium.

Mr.. ROBERT BRUCE, grain and provision
broker, Willard's Hotel, has sent us the cor
rected estimates for corn and wheat as taken
from the report of the Commissioner of Ag-
riculture for the year 1888. From these esti-
mates we CLEAN some very interesting facts.
For instance, it han been generally sup
posed that the West produced more corn
per acre than the Eastern aud New Eng-
land States. Such, however, is not tho
case. Take, for example, the New England
States. In Maine the yield per acre is 35
bushels; New Hampshire, SO; Vermont,
81; Massachusetts,, 35: Rhode Island, 80.
In New Jersey the yield is 2S. The South
ern States yield from to % bushels per
acre, while tho West from Is to 80. Take
the State of Indiana. The average is 81
bushels per acre. In Illinois it is 25 Mis-.
souri,, 25; Kansas, So; Now Mexico, 90
These figures, if they show anything, show
that the people of the East are more indus
trious than the people of tho South and
West, for it is well-known fact that the
lands of the West arc the richest in the
world and would yield, if properly cultiva.
ted, an average of so bushels or more per
acre of corn. From the same paper we learn
that the same average rs to wheat exists
Mr.. Bruce deserves tho thanks of the agri.
culturists generally for bringing out these
facts
