Even the Republicans are becom-
ing disguised with the bloody shirt
and with John Sherman who persists
in Haunting it in Ohio. And the
Pittsburgh Dispatch a sensible Re
publican journal in referring to the
Ohio canvass says; This may be
good Republicanism but it is bad
politics. Whether the Ohio Sena-
tor is so entangled with corporate
rule and machine politics that he
cannot make a campaign against
chem, or whether he is so welded to
the old issues that he can see moth
ing else, it is certain that he is throw
ing away the chances of Republican
success. The truth is the Republi-
can party never appeared before the
country with anything else than
'bad politics" and this bad politics
is the same on which it has lived
for the last twenty years. And the
party would have been dead long,
long, ago had it not been kept to-
gether by fraud and the spoils OF
office. Everybody knows that John
Sherman is and so are nearly all
prominent Republican politicians
entangled with corporate rule and
machine politics so that they can
not consistently make a campaign
against them

Numerous Notes and Comments

Editor Stead, Of the Pail Mall
Gazette, who is likely to continue
to attract public attention as the
conduct or of his own case before a
London court, was one of the
speakers at the recent Hyde Park
gathering, and was photographed
by the London correspondent of
the Paris Meaos as "the type of a
fanatical reformer, with his hair
standing in all directions, his light
blue eyes bloodshot, his face red
with Unsurpassed excitement and
and his slight frame swaying to
and fro, but looking like a brave
man"-as he needs must be about
these days.
The Fair will be held at Union
town October 9th, 9TH and 9Th.
The managers are making unusual
preparations and are expecting
large turn out.
Hon. Edward A. Rollins, Presi-
dent of the Centennial Bank, of
Philadelphia, is dead.
Vice Chancellor Geo. w. Gin
ton is dead at Albany, N. Y. He

Cooper, the chairman of the Penn
sylvania Republicans, has been
snealking around with begging pa
pcrs to get money from the depart
ment clerks at Washington. But
the time for raising the radical sails
from that quarter has passed, and
like the Irishmau who sheared the
hog, he has probably gotten more
noise than wool. He pretends that
he sent his circular for the purpose
of finding out whether the men who
were Republicans under Arthur
last year are still Republicans.
The Philadelphia Times suggests
that he could have saved great
deal of time, labor and postage
if he had just written to some men,
Der of the cabinet making the inqui-
~, and the reply would have gene
back to him by return mail that the
great majority of them are Demo
Gratis and have always been Demo
Gratis.

President Turper. of the Upivers-

President Turner, of the Univers-
ity, informs us that the University
starts off with an increase over last
year. Considering the general fail
ure of crops in West Virginia and the
tightness OF money matters this Is a
remarkably good start. Mr.. Turner
has proper ideas about educational
work. He does not propose to fill
the school with primary scholars but
encourages the establishment of
academies and preparatory schools
in various sections of the State which
will in time become feeders for the
University. He also properly con-
siders that there is no antagonism of
interest between the normal schools
and the University, but that liberal
patronage of the normal schools will
eventually furnish material for the
University. And says that all the
normal schools are adopting pre-
par'atory course in connection with
the normal course which will fit
young men for the University. In
this work State Superintendent B. S.
Morgan is rendering valuable service
and we believe President Turner is
correct when he expresses the opin-
ion that the University is about en-
tering upon a career of increased
usefulness and prosperity. The in
fluence of its alumni is being power
fully felt all over the State and an
observer readily discovers that Uni
versity men are every where taking
prominent hand in educational
work and University men will neces-
sarily be active workers for the Uni
versity. 1t should be the ambition
of every West Virginian to support
our State University an institution
of the very highest order. The fac
ulty and other facilities are already
excellent and what is needed is a lib
eral patronage.

THREE CWIT.DREN SHOT
The Terrible Mistake of a MIL.
waukee SalOOnkeeper.

At Milwaukee, Wis, Jos. Jarrett,
a saloonheeper,- is under arrest for
shooting three children. Jarrett
purchased a gun on Friday and
loaned it to a neighbor to go hunt
ing. 1t was returned Sunday after
noon, the man being unable to dis
charge it. Jarrett took the gun into
the back yard, and when fifteen feet
from the fence discharged it, intend
ing, as he says, that the shot should
enter the ground. The cartridge
passed through the high board fence
and exploded as three children were
passing. One Of them, fifteen
months old, occupied a baby carri-
age, which was wheeled by her seven.
year-old brother. Frank received
nearly twenty shot in the chest, alb
domen, shoulder and head, and the
baby several shot in her head. The
doctors have little hope for their re-
covery. A twelve-year-old girl was
also shot in her arm. Jarrett con-
eealed himself in his house, but was
only saved from the threatened vio-
lence of the mob by the arrival of
the police, who placed him under ar
rest

Book Notice.

Ged<y's Lady Book for October
is brilliant number, opening with
handsome steel engraving of
"The Lady Of Lyons. !" This pic
ture illustrates the story of Bull
wer's famous drama of that title
which has been carefully transcrib-
ed for the magazine in narrative
form. THE subject is one of high
literary and dramatic merit, Pan
line being a character made by the
authorship of genius and the his
trionic talent of the best actresses
the world over. A novel design
in colors for sofa pillow or quilt
accompanies the usual illustrations,
and the story matter presents some
notable features. The new sub
scribers are promised some rare in
ducements, and the old ones find
the attractions of the book strong
enough to hold their interest.
Godey's compares favorably with
the best publications of its kind in
this or any other country. 1t
aims to be, and certainly is, La
dy's Book par excellence.

An Ohio exchange tells the follow
ing pretty little story: A Republi-
can the other day was seeking to
twit Democrat, an old farmer up
about Lucasville, about hard times
and wanted to know if these were
the good times we were to have I'M
der Democratice rule The old far
mer listened to him quietly, and
finally remarked: "My friend, did
you ever know a farmer, no matter
how thrifty, who could take farm
that had been running down for
twenty-four years, and get a good
crop off of it inside of six months =?
l guess not. 1t takes some time to
repair fences, improve and strength
en- the soil, clear out weeds, briars
and thistles, open up the drains,
bitches and water courses, drive out
the vermin and renovate the farm
and buildings in general. This is
just what the administration is do

in order Wait until we get the farm
which the Republicans have been
letting run down for years improved
and in good condition and then YOU
Will see some beautiful crops; the
whole country will laugh with rich
harvests and the people will rejoice
in prosperity. My friend, the good

Jim Mason's Democrat is attempt
ing to whitewash the Democratic
party of West Virginia with butter
milk, and with sour butter milk at
that-so sour in fact that it has be-
come rancid and putrefacted, and
the smell of it resembles that of a
stale swill tub, and decent swine
would turn away from it in disgust.
Yet the gentlemen in charge of this
sweet-scented establishment seem to
think that they are engaged in a
purifying process and are greatly
delighted with themselves. Our adj
wise to them would be to stop and
smell their hands and examine the
grease spots on their garments and
see if they cannot discover that in
stead of white wash they are be-
daubing the grand old party of the
people with pollution such as
would turn the stomach of hog.
They emptied bucket of this filth
in the direction of our respectable
establishment last week, but took
the precaution to send to the New
DOMINION an edition not containing
it. They didn't want us to see what
they said about us. That's the sort
of respectable journalists they are.
You aim at making your fly blow, in
West Virginia, what the Richmond
Enquirer was, in old Virginia, do
you? The housing owl will never
be taken for the grand old bird of
liberty! Not much.

President Cleveland is again at
home in the White House and hard
at work. He returned to Washing
ton from his Adirondack excursion
on the eight o'clock train last Tues
day morning, greatly improved by
his mountain trip. BY active ezer-
else he has managed to work off sey-
erat pounds of superhuous flesh,
which brings him down to a good
fighting weight, so that he may be
better able to contend with the hun
CRY and savage office seekers who
are continually besetting him. His
face and neck are perceptibly sun
burned, but he shielded his hands
by wearing gloves. He enjoyed ex-
cellent health during his absence.
Owing to previous instructions, all
mail supposed to be personal to the
President was first sent to Col. La
mont, who forwarded to the Presi-
dent only such communications as
he desired to see; consequently he
was not annoyed by large and unim
portant mails. Col. Lamont says
the routine business of the Executive
Mansion has been kept up during
the Presidents absence. The ban
quet for presidential post masters
and other Office hunters will now be
opened, and a lively time is expect
ed. Republicans will not enjoy the
picnic in all probability, but it can't
be helped.

The Weston Democrat says ::
About two weeks ago, Joseph
Barrackman, a farmer residing on
the Ealin farm, a short distance
above Weston, mysteriously disap-
peared; and his departure indicates
that his home is broken up forever.
Some time ago, Barrickman, who
is middle-aged man, bought the
farm on which he lived from 10
sephus Eakin, paying about So. 900
down, and leaving only about
$1,000 back. He also bought
considerable live stock; and ap-
peared to be an industrious, good
citizen. AS before remarked, he
boarded the cars here about two
weeks ago and no word has been
received from him since, except a
brief note to his wife, written at
Clarksburg, stating that he was
''gone for good. Immediately
after this information was made
public, many persons to whom
Barrackman was indebted brought
suits against him, and all the prop
erty he had was at once attached.
The case is rendered one of pecul-
lar hardship from the fact, as we
are informed, that the land and
stock we're bought with money
realized by the sale of land formerly
owned by Mrs. Banackman. The
result of her husbands singular
conduct sweeps away all she had
in the world; and leaves her and
her children entirely destitute. II
is rumored that there is a woman
at the bottom of the trouble but
thus far the story lacks veri6cation.
Mrs. Barrackman is worthy lady,
and receives the hearty sympathy
Of the people.

A gentleman from the upper end
of the county remarked about the
stringency of the times and thinks
they have been worse in his section
than in and about Morgantown. He
attributes this to the building of the
railroad from Fairmont to Morgan
town. The f. M. & P. r. r., in the
last year and half have spent an
immense amount of money along the
Monongahela in Monongalia an Mar
ion which no doubt has made times
much easier than they otherwise
would have been. The road is now
graded and is completed except the
tracklaying which is well on the way.
This makes lull in business matters
just now, but it does not require much
sagacity to see that but for the build
ing ofthis road business matters would
have been down to hard pan herea-
bouts for year past. From all over
the country now is coming cheering
news of prospects of trade and the
Frightening of financial matters and
our people may hope to come upon
good times without experiencing the
panic that has overtaken other sec
tions of the country. We do not
claim that the Frightening up of the
situation is due wholly to Cleveland's
administration because Congress has
never been wholly under Democratic
control and no opportunity has been
offered Democrats to remedy the leg
islation enacted by Republicans of
which the labor and agricultural
classes have so justly complained.
Should Congress become Democratic
in both branches no doubt wholesome
legislation such as will ameliorate
the financial condition of the country
will be enacted. In the mean time
the Democracy will not be held ac-
countable for hard times or the op-
preston of labor and agricultural
and mechanical interests that were
started under the Republican system.
1t is true Mr.. Cleveland has inaug-
urated some wholesome reforms and
it is due to this no doubt that the
downward tendency in money mat
tiers is changing and taking an up
ward tendency.

London's Legacy of Licemti.
business.

The recent exposures of the reek-
ing rottonness in London's social
fabric has given rise to rather sig
nificant movement.
The philanthropic heart of that
great city is moved to purchase re-
lease from the sight of it's social
debris by shipping it in bulk to the
United States.
The penalty they propose to pay
for the moral degradation into which
they have drifted by their own
laches, is simply the passage money
of the victims from their own coun-
try to this.
Out of the fullness of their hearts
and the more plethoric fullness of
their pockets, they have already con-
tributed thirty-fve thousand dollars
on a proposed subscription of one
hundred thousand for the purpose
in question
The idea is that these hundreds
and thousands of fallen, homeless
and hapless women of that city
might be absorbed in the population
of this country by some means,
whether to be purified by the new
conditions or to contaminate the
stream is not question about
which London seems to have much
concern. The ruling idea is to get
rid Of the corruption and transfer
the responsibility to us. They will
have discharged their conscience
when the bill of lading is duly paid
and receipted.
But the matter which the Ameri-
can people have to face is the trans
fer to our shores of few thousand
yagrant women and homeless girls,
Of easy virtue, without money and
without occupation; having neither
talent, tact nor experience in any
useful vocation whereby to earn a
livelihood, having nothing to recon-
mend them to the consideration of
our people but pity for their desper-
ate condition; having no disposition
or qualification for filling any useful
position in the domestic or indus
trial spheres; but with the pressure
OF their immediate necessities they
will be driven to purchase exemp-
ton from exposure, starvation and
death.
There would appear to be but two
sources of relief for such an install
ment of humanity cast upon our
shores under such conditions, the
one is the aims house and the other
the house of prostitution.
If this movement serves to awaken
the American mind to the character
and course of immigration to this
country, it may not be unfortunate
for us that it has arisen. If Amer
lea is a kind of Pool of Sloan in
which the riff-raff of the world NAV
be washed and made whole, there
would appear to be no valid reason
for obstructing the endless stream
that flows in upon us from foreign
shores. But unless America and
American institutions are capable
of withstanding the antagonistic
and corrupting influences of the
worlds rabble we had better soon
call halt; we had better soon take
cognizance of the character and
course of this new element; we had
better see that our American insti-
buttons, our American lands and
our American homes are not being
stolen away from us by the insidious
influence of the motley crowd which
swarms over the land. We quaran.
tine against cholera and other infec-
tlous diseases, but we are in more
danger, perhaps, from certain moral
contagion than all the rest.
