Governor, has lately published II long
article in The st. Croir Auis on the
subject (the state of the sugar morket)
In which he arrives at the conclusion,
that the present state of things cannot
continue. He refers in his argument
tation to the different accounts of the
great ost of the best sugar, (The
writer has of course mis-reai beet
sugar for best sugar ("bedste Suk-
kerr and he points out, that the pro-
duction will decrease considerably,
and he thinks that it will be difficult
to get people to begin it again, now
that it has shewn itself, that the in
dustry has gone to ruin" Observe,
that in the whole of this faithful and
conscientious Report, none OF tho
words heetroot. Germany or Austria
have found place..
The Report then continues "Wo
must hope, for the sake of the Colony,
that these views are not quite correct,
for it would be really difficult, if not
altogether impossible, to fad any
other NEAR to feed the population.
Even the raising of provisions, f. i.
potatoes, "does not pay as wel1 as
canes', which is proved by the cir
cumstance, that the squatters who in
the beginning raised large quantities
OF provisions, have gradually aban.
doned that, and now only cultivate
canes.

. About Advertising.

Poster advertising, rock and fence
painting, and flooding the mails
with circulars and postal cards are
some of the forms of advertis-
ing which disgusts more people than
they attract, and even when effec-
tive, are very wasteful mode of
reaching the public.
In the selection of a proper me-
dunn many points of value might
be taken into consideration by adj
vertisers. Newspapers which are
not respected and faithfully read are
not good mediums for advertisers.
Newspapers that are purchased to
while away half hour on street car
or elevated railway, and are not car
ried home, do not soil anybody's
wares. Such papers are no better
than circulars and almost as waste
full.
The experience of enterprising
and sagacious business men demon
strates that the best results attend
advertising in home newspapers
those which go into families and are
read by one after another in the
home circle.-N. Y. Ne,csdealer.

Our Railroad Company elected
Vice President King, of the b. d o.,
President of the f. NJ. d p, vice
Capt. Clements, resigned.
Next to Mr.. Clements, the new
President is probably the most ac-
ceptable man that could have been
chosen. Mr.. King will, doubtless,
push the road to completion with
due dispatch, but he does not, of
course, feel the same ambition for its
early completion that Mr.. Clements
did. 1t was emphatically Mr.. Glenn
ents' enterprise. The road was be
gun at his instance, and upon his
persistent advocacy. Mr. Clements
believed in it and felt an ambition in
it, as well as responsibility for it,
that no other man could; and we are
sorry that he did not remain in the
company to complete it.
As soon as this persistent winter
will allow, the work will 90 briskly
forward. The iron for the Buffalo
bridge is, we hear, already on the
ground. With the completion of
that bridge track laying will begin,

MISSIONER.
Hon. Joseph =. Miller Selected
..SOme thing of His History.

1t was a matter Of much gratifica-
ton, not.only to Mr.. Miller's personal
friends, but to West Virginians gen
orally, to learn that the President
had appointed him to the office OF
Commissioner of Internal Revenue.
Th e office is very important one,
and is just recognition of Mr..
Miller's ability, and a compliment to
the State. Below is short sketch
of his life:
Joseph Samuel Miller is a native
of Cabell county, in this State, and
was born in 1S48. His family, orig
inally from Germany, his grandfath-
er making permanent settlement
in the valley of Virginia, in the lat
ter part of the last century. His
mother, whose maiden name was
Gardner, was native of Boston, the
daughter Of Joseph Gardner, an ex-
perienced sea captain in the mer-
chant service, while his father
grandfather, on his mothers side,
was Colonel Clendenin, who held the
command of a fort at Charleston
about 1896.
Mr.. Miller, having taken a plain
education, entered Beach Grove
Academy, Ashland, Kentucky, where
he perfected his studies. His first
position in public life was to fill the
clerkship of the Circuit Court, In
Cabell county, in 1850, which Office
he retained until January. 1873. In
the fall of 1872 he was further elect
ed clerk OF the County Court, and
succeeded to the duties the follow
ing year. That Office he continued
to hold until 1875. also being a coun-

By recommending the Hon. Jos.
S. Miller, late Auditor of this State,
for appointment as Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, Secretary Man
ming has paved the way to great pop
ularity among West Virginia Demo
Gratis. Indeed, for that matter, there
are not many men of any political
party who will not heartily approve
of Secretary Manning's choice of a
Commissioner.
Mr. Miller is one of the best
known and most able Democrats in
the State, and man who has the
courage to do what he believes to be
right. In this respect he is unfet-
tered by political obligations which,
were he blind and obedient parti-
san, would require the performance
of acts out of harmony with the
dictates of clear conscience.
His administration as Auditor of
the State for two successive terms is
monument of honor to Mi. Miller,
and one of credit to the people
whose ballots elected him. AS a
United States official, filing the i'm
portant position of Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, the Times pre-
diets for him a career no less bril-
liant and satisfactory than that
which has rendered him conspicu-
Gus as an efficient and upright guar
dian of the public interests in this
State.-Chdrlesto Times.
Governor Jacob B. jackson retired
on the 4th of March from the guber-
material chair of this State, closing
perhaps the most marked admins
tration of the list. During his term
it CHANGED that several important
measures of state policy had to be
met and determined. Among these
that of the method and extent OF
taxation under the Constitution
came up as the consequence of a de
cision of the Supreme Court, the eff
feet of which was to declare certain
exemptions Of property unconstitu-
tiOnal. Governor jackson had the
courage to execute the law as thus
propounded and thereby subjected
himself and his administration tt
unstinted abuse from host of OPP
ponents who were incapable of put
ting just estimate upon his official
action, But the people were more
cOnsiderate and the close of his term
finds this question so well under
stood by them that there is now
scarcely any left to criticise. Neal

They insist that Republican rule

power they leave the country with
out navy, without commerce, broken
down in business, over-shadowed by
monopolies, burdened with an over
coinage of silver, with labor unem-
ployed and an enormous idle surplus
