FARMERS DEMAND RELIEF
GOVERNOR JACKSoN'S "INSTRUC-

Frs OF BERKELEY.

Not for many years in the history
ofthis county has there been so large
an assemblage Representative far
mers as that which met in the Court
House on Saturday afternoon, in
response to the call of Tuscarora
and Cherry Grove Oranges. The
meeting was called to order by Mr..
w. 7. Noll; Mr.. Alex. Clohan chosen
Chairman w. L. Logan, Secretary.
Hon. G. j. Faulkner stated that the
object of the meeting was very
grave and important question, one
which called the action of Cover
nor into question, and to proceed
deliberately ii committee should be
appointed to draft such resolutions
as the exigency Of the occasion de-
manded. On motion, Messrs. w.
w. Downey, G. ]. Faulkner, j. B.

ECONOMY OF LIFE.

The true economy of human life
adjusts expenditures to a moral scale
of values. DeQuincey pictures wO-
man sailing over the water, awaken
ing out of sleep to find her necklace
united and one end hanging over the
stream, while pearl after pearl drops
from the string beyond her reach ;
when she clutches at one just falling,
another drops beyond recovery.
Our days drop one after another by
our carelessness, like pearls from a
string, as we sail the sea of life, until
we learn that the waste of time is a
more serious loss than the extrava-
gances against which there is such
loud exclaim. The expenditures of a
few dollars ON taste is a small matter
in comparison with the wasting OF
months and years by thousands who
have every advantage society can
offer, and exact every privilege it
affords as right.

constitutionality of the Acts of 1881
He for one would cross the rive
| when he reached it, and was not il
favor of bringing the river to The
people. 1t would be time enough
to make a case when some one wa:
compelled to defend himself; he
would give in his property under the
Acts of 1881, and if indicted for 81
doing he would go before the jury
with the statute in his hand. BY
the living law the people were will
ing to stand or by it fall. In bis
opinion as citizen aud a taxpayer
the Governor nor the Auditor haG
no legal right to issue the instruc
tions, and the assessors therefore
could obey them or refuse to do sc
at their option. Mistakes bad been
made by great men before. Napo
leon lost Waterloo by mistake and
only maintained his personal glory by
throwing himself in the breach and
assuming the brunt of war. He adj
mired the Governor for his manli
ness in assuming the responsibility
of bis mistake if he believed he was
right, but it was a high prerogative
of the American people to question
the acts of their servants, whether
they be executive, Judicial or legisla
tive-whether in township, county
State or national meeting, and tC
enter their protest against any ACT
by any public official of which the
people did not approve and which in
their Judgment was not warranted
by the law. That is all this meet
ing of citizens seeks to do. With nc
disrespect to the executive, they
claim the right to differ with him
when they think he has made mis-
take, and in this case in his Mr.
R.'s) opinion the Governor has made
a mistake. If the decision in the
case of G. & o. r. r. VS.. Miller
means anything it means that the
acts of 1881 are unconstitutional, and
if any question should arise as to
the assessors right to assess under
them, the Court in passing upon
that question must construe the
Acts to be void; but if the assessors
pursue the law of 1881 and the law
is unconstitutional-it not yet hav,
ing been declared so by the court
the statute says that the assessor
shall not be held to answer for fol
lowing the law until it is so de.
clared by the Court; so that in any
event the assessor is safe. The Gov
ernor's oath is the same as that
taken by the assessors, to suppors
the constitution with the additional
obligation imposed by law to see the
law properly executed. 1t don't re
quire him to see the Constitution
properly executed, which without
the acts of the legislature to give il
vitality is dead letter. AS citizens
we claim the right to be judged by
the law. Mr.. Rohrbaugh was warm
ly applauded.

A GIRL IN BLUE.
BY PANsY.

"There she sits in her elegant new
morning dress, nothing in the world
to do but to amuse herself, and must
stain my hands by pairing potatoes,
and onions, and I don't know what
all, for her dinner! A dress with a
train, and she only sixteen! Only
two years and a few months older
than am How would / look in a
train! never expect to have such
an elegant dress as she has on this
minute, and it is only her morning
dress. Tonight she will wear that
lovely garnet silk trimmed with white
lace. Think of me in my old blue
flannel! 1t is everything l have to
wear. / don't see why there should
be such difference between cousins |!
/ wish Helen had stayed in New York.
Why she wanted to come to the coun-
try in winter is more than can I'M
derstand. She isn't homesick bit.
Just believe I'll stay at home to-
night. Almost all the girls will wear
new dresses, and my old one will
look older than ever beside Helen's
grand one."
Carrie" called that young lady's
mother, and Carrie went to the
kitchen.
There she gave her hands to the po-
tatoes, and her thoughts to the dis
couragements around her. AT last she
spoke of them aloud:
"Mother, l don't believe I'll go to-
night after ALL"
"Not go to Kate's Christmas party!
Why, what has happened? Is the
child sick?"
"No'm, Pm not sick; only dis
couraged. / don't want to go and
wear that old blue dress, and that's
the truth. / shall look different from
any of the others, and seeing me with
Helen will make everybody notice 1T
more"
any child, Helen's father is worth
million, and your father isn't worth
thousand dollars besides what it
takes to support his family"
81 know it, ma; Pm not finding
fault, only 1 don't want to go to be
looked at, that is ALL"
The mother looked very sober, and
something besides the stream that
pulled out of the pudding-dish made
her eyes moist. Carrie split a large
potato savagely in two and looked
gloomy. Then the mother said, speak
ing low:
",Won't you disappoint a good
many people tonight, daughter
Isn't Kate depending on you to help
with the charades and the music?
"I can't help it, mother. People
mustn't depend on me. Most every
girl but me has a new dress for to
night, and 1 can't be going there jus,
! to help other people have good time
when / know l shall-be mortified ali
the evening"
4 "Can't you! Why, daughter, ever
Christ pleased not himself"
After that not another word wa'
said in the kitchen for nearly an hour
Carrie finished the potatoes and RAJ

!. did. her mother did not know; bu

FARMERS OF BERKELEY.

| FARMERS VI BERKELEY.
Last February while no political
campaign was in progress, you met
as taxpayers in the convention, and
after listening to the able address Of
one of the Oldest and ablest of West
Virginia's sons, Hon. c. j. Faulkner,
ST., followed by Rev. w. w. Downey
and others, you unanimously adopt
ed "The Berkeley Resolutions
which went ringing over the State,
and will not cease reverberating till
the last act of injustice is stricken
from our statute books, and the farm
ers of this State are relieved from
the burdens which nov Cypress them.
Farmers of Berkeley, doyou mean
to stand by those resolutions, or was
it the mere idle sport of winters
day You demanded redress was
it granted to you you wanted to
carry your case to court /; did you
know then that the court in caucus
had decided that you had no rights
which the Governor was bound to
respect, and that the Governor and
Supreme Court of West Virginia
were above all law, that the decis-
ion of caucus was final and that
you must submit.
Farmers, lay aside all prejudice,
come together as you did at that
time and view the situation. You
then denounced Gov. jackson will
you now support his tool, whose on
ly hope is in the crack of the party
whip and building up all of the old
prejudices of the war. Let the dead
bury the dead the live issues of to-
day are all that we have time to
meet.
When the name of one of Berke-
ley's gifted sons was proposedin the
convention he was turned down, not
for any fault Of his own, but his
father was in sympathy with the
taxpayers.
Farmers, this is the truth, compare
the man who you are asked to vote
for with the one whose name you
presented. Comparison is not pos
sible. No one who had dared to OPP
pose the high-handed administration
of our most potent ruler was allow
ed any show whatever. jackson and
the judges must be sustained at all
hazards. The Supreme Court of
contempt as a reward for caucus SER
vices was again put OIL your tickets,
after being repudiated by the whole
Democratic press Of the State and
nation, and will you again put those
men in position to bring our whole
State into contempt; will you by
your votes endorse the man who you
declared in your meeting was guilty
ofsuch usurpation Ofpower as would
not be submitted to by any people in
Europe? Will you now endorse him 7
Farmers, in your own county with
what favor have you looked on those
who took a prominent part in your
behalf; cody turned them down and
took up those who, if they favored
you, at least kept that fact to them
selves.
Farmers, the next Legislature will
have to deal with the tax question ;
are you going to send FARMERS to
look after your interests
Farmers, read carefully over your
resolutions and see if there is any
change in the situation. There is
none then hew to the line, let the
chips fall where they may. The eyes
of the whole State are upon you.-
you who set the ball in motion; will
you stand by your own creation and
help it on to victory, or will you
bend the knee and kiss the rod
which smote you and sue for mercy.
Look to your own interests. READ,
THINK AND VOTE AS FREEMEN.
