The Dial says THERE'S nothing lit
tie about Us Americans. When we
blow our horn the soundreaches to
the far and near. We have the
biggest rivers and lakes, the tallest kind Of
mountains, while for politicians We top the
world. We have Maud S. and Jay Eye See
and Emo, the junior, and Ferdinand Ward
and We also have General Meredith Read
who was once Minister TO Greeuce. General
Reads daughter has been married at New
port, and on the strength of the ex-Ameri-
administration at Athens the crowned
heads of Europe we're invited to the wed
ding. Cards were sent to Queen Victoria,
the Prince and Princess of Wales, the King
and Queen Of Denmark, the King and
Queen Of Greece, and about two thousand
more royal, imperial noble and distin-
guished persons in foreign parts, inviting
them to attend the wedding. Some stayed
away; but that doesn't matter. 1t was one
Of the checklist things out. General Read
Just let those foreigners know that an Amer
lean is as good as the best Of them, and IN
derssands manners, too.

A Three-Cornered Canvass


Here is one candidate buried in thu
woods, another on his way to the woods anc
the third bobbing about on the brine. They
are not doing their very best for themselves.
Presidents are not made in the haunts Of
the chipmurk or the Porgy. Nh. Blaine Is
a brilliant American. Mr. Cleveland il
bullying with ideas Of reforming things IL
general, and General Butler has plan for
making the poor rich without taking dol,
lar from the wealthy. All very fine, bu'
very vague and AsPdOodleish. We want tc
see these gentlemen together before we car
decide who is to get our sufrages. New
York is the pivotal point, and to New York
should come the three candidates and ex
hibiI themselves in one great hall There
is 10 be no opera at the vast Metropolitan
operate Nsusoleum. There Blaine, Cleve
land and Butler should appear nightly ii.
November, pose before the people, speak in
turn and keep the barrels flowing. It would
draw hundreds of thousands and give bet,
ter idea of the candidates than the present
stupid plan of running away and letting
others do the fighting.

Not Worried About West Virginia.
.


None of the West Virginia Democrats are
worried about the political condition Of their
State. They say so themselves. They
calmly look on as Steve Elkins pours money
and negrorepeaters into the State. but they
are not worried.
Everybody will agree that it is better not
to worry any more than is necessary during
this kind of weather. But the Democrats
have sometimes not worried enough. The
Republicans worry al the time till the polls
close on election day.
-Four years ago The Democrats of Indiana
were in the same easy state of mind as the
Democrats of West Virginia now appear to
be in. They did not worry about the State.
They knew it wonld be all right
Indiana was all right but not for the
Democrats. 1t went Republican both in
October and in November. If the Demo
Gratis Of West Virginia continue not to
Worry perhaps that State may be all right
in the same way.

The Newark Ledger" OF Saturday
repeats the following, which shows
that the people will be victimized by
sharpers despite the warnings Of news
papers and the experier ce Of others !:
Mr.. Slack, n well-to-do farrer resid-
ing near Newport, started few weeks
ago TO visit relai ions In Georgia. Be
fore he reached Washington man took
q seat beside him and opened conver
sation. After finding out where Mr..
Slack wan going, said he was we'll ac-
quainted with the parties In question !;
soon after another man took . seat
near, and opened conversation with
the man sitting beside Mr.. Slack, and
asked him to pay him few dollars
which he owed him. The other man
said he WAS . little short at present,
and on the suggestion Of the frst man,
he asked Mr.. Slack for the loan OF $40
till they got to their destination.
Thinking the man was all right, Mr..
Slack loaned the amount asked for,
ali the money he had with him, except
u little change. At the next station
the two men left the train, and II was
at this point that Mr.. Slack saw that
he had been swindled out Of $40. At
Washington Mr.. Slack exchanged his
ticket northward for one southwark.
It Ia said that after reaching home he
secured more money and made a fresh
start.

The Performance On saturday
Nlght.

The Opera House was well filled last
Saturday night TO Witness Barney NC
Auley y inipersonstion OF Uncle Danl,
in K. A. Locke's American comedy,
"a Messenger from Jarvis secsion."
Mr.. McAuley's conception Of the
character IL natural and life.like, and
there is no straining for effect. 1t is
vastly different from the manner In
which the votariss of the drama are
accustomed to See such characters pr
trayed, and while he invests 1t with a
quiet humor that pleases his audience,
and provokes shout after shout OF
laughter, 1t is entirely free from bof'
foonery, such al is affected by some
would-be Yankee comedians. As the
honest, rugged down-easter, he
carries the syInpatbies Of 'he audience
with him, and his mastery acting
brought down the house. Miss Ella
Baker az "Clip" WAS excellent, ana
her almost futile efforts to keep "sworn
of" from using slang were received
with laughter and applause. The re,
mainder Of the support was fair, ana
taken altogether the play was presented
In q manner that sent the audience
home pleased not only with 1t out
themselves and every body else.

spec tators that were present only had
the satisfaction of hearing two cases
disposed of. The first was Robert Grady,
who was charged with being drunk,
and upon the charge being sustained
by the evidence, he was committed un-
til Tuesday morning to allow him am
pie time to sober up.
William Msrms, oOlored, was charged
with committing An assault and bat
terry on oolorsd girl named Annie
Johns last Tuesday night, ~ she was
assisting another girl to take some
mourners home from Bethel church.
When William was asked what he had
10 say to the charge, he admitted strik-
ing her, but said that she had given
him provocation by using insulting
language, and Annie upon being ques.
toned in reference to the matter, said
that she had called him a cross eyed
Niger" but that he had spoken to her
irst. She was oorroborated by Cora
Page, who was with her at the time,
and the Judge imposed q fne Of $6and
costs.
