There seems to be less interest
taken in educating children in the
country than in the town. This
may be owing to busy farm life,
but mark; Our children in after
life will be useful or not in propo.'-

state schools are now fully open.
The question should be, how shall
the schools be developed to the
highest degree of usefulness. Cost
is hardly worth consideration.
Make the schools as good as they
can be. Get earnest and devoted
teachers, pay them we'll and visi t
the schools often and support
them by counsel and advice and
prompt payment. CLARA.

Politics are still booming at
our place. Messrs. Beltzhoover
and Brown both delivered them
selves here last Friday evening, i'm
the presence Of the Cleveland and
Hendricks club, and fairsprink-
ling of Blaine men. At the con-
clusion Of their remarks the ques-
ton was asked, "Who they could
support now?" and the response
was "Blaine.
see notice that your Il. Boyd
and Hon. James III. Grove are to
speak here on Thursday night,
and that the ladies are specially
invited; of course, anybody to
swell the number. 1t is to be
hoped we will hear the extra-as-
sessment business indicated or
their version of it. We have been
taking a still hunt, lately and find
more converts, but they say,
keep quiet; we want to do the
business in quiet way We
find many Berkeley people, who
think like you, Mr.. Editor, that
you have good and honest men to
put forth to steer the republican
party thro' to victory, and are de-
termined not to support the ticket
or the captains and lieutenants
who are now trying to run the re-
publican party of your county.
Our esteemed friend and candi-
date for State Senator, Geo. w.
Feidt, is to speak at our place on
Saturday evening. We will try
to get the Bourbons out to hear
him. 1t is notnecessary to sound
the war bugle to get the republi-
can voters out at this place. They
are always on hand and listen re-
specially to both democratic and
republican speakers.
Our neighbor, Mr.. George N.
Seibert and his family were allah
sent on Sunday, at church, and
when they returned found the
house had been broken into and
robbed of some $40 or $50 in
money and some jewelry and val
uables, ETC., nearly all Of which
was found on two parties, who
were captured near Vancleves-
vile and lodged in your Jail.
Mr.. r. S. McIntire, of this
place had a very fine mule killed
by the Pittsburg express on Tues
day. This crossing is one OF the
most dangerous along the line Of
the road, and is certainly in the
worst condition. It is almostim-
possible to cross it with load,
for fear of breaking down the wa
gon or carriage. It is strange
the officers of the road don't see to
it for their own protection.
We will be on hand to give you
the version of the reconciliation
as to the reassessment business.

that lover the fence may be out"

are just over the garden wall.

German Democrats and
Prohibition.

New YoRK, Sept. 30. The
Academy Of Music was crowded
tonight by German Democrats of
this city. Oswald Ottendorfer pre-
sided. The principal orator of the
evening was Joseph Pulitzer, who
bitterly denounced Prohibition.
He said: II hold that prohibition
can have no place in any system of
government based upon the will of
the people and the full consent OF
the governed Prohibition is re-
pugnant to every idea of popular
self--government and American
freedom. 1t is emphatically un-
constitutional, revolutionary and
void; destructive and subversive to
the very foundations Of true re-
public, and fraught with danger to
its existence Other speeches
were made by General Siegel and
ex-G Governor Solomon.

growth of republican legislation,
and spoke of this, as che day of
democratic supremacy. He next
went into q discussion of the tar
| iffquestion. He told us the fail
ure of the Morrison tariff bill was
the cause Of the failure Of Grant,
Ward & Co., (ifthis be so it would
have been better if the Morrison
bill had been introduced long ago).
He expressed great sympathy for
old man Grant, that now in his old
age he was able to do nothing,
broken down in spirits and in
purse he was compelled to retire
to private life---and all because the
Morrison bill went to the de-,
and took Grants and Wards ducks
with it. He says the people ofthe
United States ignore The idea
that they cannot compete with the
world in their manufactures with
out protection. He also gave us
some figures to reflect over, but

the action of a democratic con-
vention of Berkeley county. He
said if he was elected, which he
believed he would be, that he
would oppose the payment Of any
portion Of the old Virginia debt
by this state. He does not be-
lieve that West Virginia owes one
cent of it. He intends to walk
straight forward, will be ready for
Jim Mason's wine suppers, can
vass back ducks, etc, but will new
er support his old debt question,
and he regards the supplemental
assessment as a mistake, and he
believes there should be an amend
ment to the constitution upon
that question. His speech was
conservative all through. He
wants men in the Legislature who
will do their duty towards their
constituents; in short he wants
good men, irrespective Of party.
He struck the key note when he
denied that protection or overpro-
duction had reduced the price Of
wheat; he nailed the cause just
where it belongs, upon the miller,
who will pay the farmer but 75cts.
