crease the influx Of people to the place

about thirty-tive families employed in

monster has been frightening peo-
pie along the Ohio between Jeddo
and McCoy's Station. An account
was given some time since con-
corning it. At that time it was
chasseing around the dyke at
Browns Island. 1t has again
caused a sensation by trying to
capture the ferryman at Freeman's
Station. He was quietly
rowing his skiff over the river,
when all at once he was startled by
seeing huge head projected above
the water close by. Its eyes seem
ed like balls of liquid light as they
cleaned upon him, and when it
opened its mouth sound that
might do credit to Hecate, came
forth as by a mighty reed blown
upon by cyclone winds. At this
juncture the ferryman wilted. His
tongue was powerless; his sight
was gone, but he arrived at the
other side safely, when he was
brought to his normal condition by
restoratives, which were used freely
by the wondering crowd of lockers
on.

The Centennial Committee have
prepared an elaborate programme
for the celebration to transpire on
the 2Sth and Doth of October. The
programme, if carried out, will
make the occasion lively and inter
esting to spectators as well as those
participating in the exercises. The
preparation Of this programme will
not preclude any other exercises or
exhibitions that may be suggested
hereafter. Our country friends are
earnestly urged to give their atten-
ton to this matter, and to exert
their energies and ingenuity to-
wards carrying out the elaborate
designs of the committee Morgan
town being the county seat of Mo
mongolia county, its centennial is
the centennial of the county, and
the people of the county at large
are equally interested in making the
celebration not alone creditable, but
in making it a grand success. One
that each citizen will feel proud of.
A large number of papers will be
prepared by gentlemen and ladies
selected for that purpose, which will
be published if not read on the oc-
casion. These papers taken col
lectively will compose "A centennial
history Of Morgantown that will
pass down to future generations to
be read and studied, and admired no
doubt. The ability and fitness of
the persons selected to discuss the
various topics need not be mention
ed. They are all well known to
their fellow citizens, and in the main
no better selections could be made.
The success of the celebration is
already assured. The railroad to
Morgantown will be in operation,
and a train of cars will bear to the
Athens of West Virginia a crowd
of visiting citizens as were never
before within our borders at one
time. On that day hundreds of
Monongalia people will behold for
the first time veritable ''iron horse"
snorting along the Monongahela
valley, and within the borders of
our own county. This alone will
compensate our people for all the
trouble and expense of trip and a
two days visit to their county town.
The second century of our town
will commence new era. One of
progress-one of peace, prosperity
and happiness. All sectional bit
terness and strife have passed from
us, and our people with one accord
commence the second century of
their existence with a renewed spirit
and exceeding bright hopes. Let us
therefore with one accord rejoice
with exceeding great joy.

The Republican postmaster who
holds office under Democratic ad
ministration is bucked and gagged
of no use to his party Wheeling
Inteliigencer { Rep.) Our republi-
can friend never regarded an official
position of any value unless in some
way it contributed to party success.
No Republican office holder was
ever deemed fit person to hold his
position unless he was ready to
prostitute it to partisan purposes.
It never occurred to Republicans that
the Office and officer were for the
service of the people and that they
were supported alike by Democrats
and Republicans. We now hear great
deal of grumbling among Republi-
cans about turning out offensive par
tisans. When men were appointed
to office just to serve party ends and
have accepted the terms under which
they were appointed; are not such
men necessarily offensive partisans
and ought they not to be turned
out?

The Progress Of The Cholera.

The reports from the cholera in
fected districts of France and Spain
indicate that the disease is still
spreading and that in AL probability
the worst is yet to come Owing to
what would seem to have been Grim
inal negligence on the part OF the
authorities, Marseilles, which was
the scene of the worst ravages of the
plague last year, has been subjected
to another serious outbreak of the
disease. The epidemic is raging to
such an extent that hospitals have
been opened for the reception of
cholera patients exclusively. To add
to the probabilities that the epidemic
will be long continued and increas-
ingly fatal the weather has again
grown very warm.
1t is in Spain, however, that the
worst effects of the fatal disease con
tinue to be felt. An average of from
1000 to l,200 deaths are reported
daily, the number of patients at
tackled being about three times as
many. In Granada the situation is
described as desperate The doctors
are either dead or have run away
probably the latter-and the suffer
ers have no medical attendance. The
dead are unburied and the dying I'M
attended. 1t would be hard TO mag
inc a situation more deplorable.
In the panic caused by these out
breaks of the disease in the leading
Mediterranean and Atlantic ports Of
Southern Europe lies the chief dan
ger of the spread to this country.
People fleeing from the danger of
infection in the plague stricken 10
calties will evade and disregard as
far as possible all the quarantine
regulations that threaten to detain
them in any locality where the dis
ease is prevalent. They will hasten
to Paris or London or any other To-
cality which promises temporary
security. In view of these facts the
further spread of the disease in
Europe may be confidently looked
for, and the utmost vigilance on the
part of American quarantine officers
is demanded to prevent its Judgment
at some of our Atlantic ports.-

Judge Garland.

Judge James Garland, of Lynch
burg, Va, died at his home on the
Sth of this month. He is said to
have been the oldest judge in the
world, being in his ninety-fifth year.
He was native of Alexandria coun-
ty, Va, and descended from one of
the best families. He was a man of
remarkable intellectual endowments,
and became to be among the greatest
prosecuting attorneys in western
Virginia. He was at the bar and on
the bench 70 years, and only retired
in 1888, after he had become totally
blind. He voted for James Madison
for President, and for every nominee
of the Democratic party since, hav-
ing cast his ballot last November for
Cleveland and Hendricks.

The West Virginia Democrat,while
it is edited by gentlemen of ability,
and the most of it's editorials are
sound and reasonable, we do object
to it making personal war on Sen
ator Camden, or any other Represen-
tative of this State.--IWcker Dem
Ocrdt.
The Editor of the West Virginia
Democrat it seems to us has fallen
into an error common to young, mex
perienced and indiscreet politicians.
The Democrat,we surmise, has man
it wants in Senator Camden's place,
and the mistake it makes is in try
ing to kill off the present occupant
to make room for its man. 1t is a
rule in law, as we are told, that
plaintiff seeking to eject Tenant
must recover on the strength of his
own title and not on the weakness
of the defendants. If our surmise
be correct in the premises, it would
be well for the Democrat, and still
better for its would be senatorial
friend if it would adopt our sugges-
ton and turn its attention to proving
the title of some other man instead
of railing at Mr.. Camden. There
always has been too much of this
personal abuse by the ''outs" against
the ''ins" in West Virginia, and it
has manifested itself in both politi-
clans and newspapers. The duty
of an editor should be to correct it
and not add to it. An editor should
be mo mans man." Certainly moth
ing can be more demoralizing to a
party than contest between men
actuated alone by a desire each to
serve his own master. The care for
party and principle is laid aside and
a set of unpatriotic slaves strive each
to serve his own master, often actu-
ated by a sinister motive. We have
faith in the patriotism, dignity and
intelligence of the people and especi-
ally the Democratic party of West
Virginia, and cannot think such war
fare will have much influence with
them. Senator Camden may not be
the greatest man in the world, but
he is an excellent representative of
his State in the United States Sem
ate, and is gentleman. The Islander
of the peoples representative is
Islander on the people themselves and
often does the people great harm by
checking immigration and keeping
away capital and enterprise. Our
State and the South has suffered
enough from a malignant radical
press that was opposed to the Dem
ocratic masses. Let not Democrats
adopt the methods of their enemies

The President has been again de-

Colorado who was recently appointed
Special Agent of the National Labor
Bureau has been arrested for horse
stealing. He was recommended by
prominent Republicans including
Senators Teller and Bowen. Secre-
tary Lamar deprecates the selection
of such man, but thinks the odium
should fall upon the eminent repub-
licans who recommended him. Judd
was relieved as soon as his true
character was discovered.
