The advance guard of the geological
surveyors are now getting fairly at work
in Tucker county, taking the topography OF
the country preparatory to the work Of the
G~eologists. Feg things that could happen
could be of more advantage in developing
our State, than this survey. When the
work is completed every man will have a
chance to know Just what minerals there
are, and what minerals are not in this state.
Peouie need not be led astrsy any longer
nv silver and tin mine crazes, nor be de-
frauSed out of their lands by bogus mining
companies. Proper knowledge on this
subject will ave the people OF the State
hundreds of thousands of dollars. 1t is
estimated that the state Of New York
in q few years before the State geological
survey was made lost millions on reckless
ming adventures, cansed by want Of
sper knoWledge Of the geological forms-
don of the State. West Virginia may De
sayed this loss. Also, capitalists viii know
lust what minerals exist in our State and
where they are to Re found, and we may
koOk for 8 rapid Developments the mining
and manufacturing interests. 1t will take
several years to complete the survey of the
State, but with such geologists as Prof l..
C.tWHlTE, of the State University, engaged
in the work, We may expect it to be done
thoroughly and reliably.

The death Of Prof. s. W. Martin, at the
hospital in your city, Sunday, created q pro-
found feeling Of regret and sorrow among
bis many warm friends at this place.
Although yet young in years, he had under
adverse circumstances attained an envisble
reputation in his chosen profession, and
ranked with the foremost educators Of our
State. he was q scholar, q gentleman and
Q Christian. Tenacious Of his principles
ard firm in his beliefs, he ever accorded TO
others the rights he claimed for himself
and was ever thoughtful and c~onsiderste of
the feelings Of others. To know him was
to admire his manly qualities, to know him
well was to love and cherish him.
Prot. Martin was born in Greene county
Pa. With the assistance of q careful Chris.
tian mother he awaited himself of q com.

be came 10 this county. where he has been
teaching. almost continuously for eight
years. As he could spare the time and
means he attended the Fsirmont Normal
School, graduating with high honors. BE
was Principal Of our High School at the
time of his death, which position he has
filled for three OF four years.

The Chicago riot is becoming contagious.
1t has spread to Ohio. The strike at the

one. The Bohemians and Poles have the
strike in their own hands. Native workmen
are entirely disregarded and are driven from

telling where it viii end, as these foreigners
have little sympathy with our institutions
and care little for the interests of the man.

communists, anarchists and socialists are
making good use Of their time in melting to
riot. Public attention is again forcibly
called by these riots to the dangers Of tho
wholesale employment of foreign labor, and
the sel6shness Of eorporstions.

FAIRNoSr, July at Is recorded Of the
army of Persis, whose discipline and stead.
fast qualities had won for it the foremost
position in like pursuit Of the day, that upon
the adoption of certain rules provided BY
Bump" management, the soldier and off,
Ger threw up the sponge" and declared that
surrender to. the enemy would be q victory
in preference to the "Rump rule"
Comparing these acts with the action Of
the West Virginia Legislature, which ham
pers By its last years action in q like sense
the ~storekeepers of the State in its retail
tobacco license" to the advantage of the
"Rump" and 8 club of Rump's friends, we
find 3 great similarity in appearance.
So much so that in a measure like the Per
slams it would do better to give the enemy
possession and trust TO its political indul-
gence than entreat further.
Why the retail tobacco dealer should pay
the State two dollars and sixty-three cents,
the assessor one dollar and the sheriff and
clerk 6ffy-eight cents to sell tobacco in this
State, not including L. s. taxes, ia q mys-
terry no one can find out, and is indeed IN
ex~plainable except upper the head Of cash
for revenue only"
That q class of people who, situated as
they be, holding as many up as our State
situation explains in mercantile ranks for
the last three years, struggling for q simple
existence and q hope to pull through"
should be rewarded BY q "Rump" crowd
whom the eomplsinanls placed in position,
is certainly a matter for the West Virginia
merchant to enquire about.
Why not have the State merchants join
in a protest at this outrage, those at least
who oppose this "Rump" business-who of
such do not2-snd in doing so from q ne
cessity to prohibit the repetition of such
action, and in view of the position occupied
BY the merchant class in connection with
the dominant party Of our State, see that
this monkey work be done with and the
Rump members Of such legislature get q
Job of q nature that will give him legislative
pay Tor more( but keep him from attending
to other peoples business of which ne knows
not. JUSTICE.

cost Of State tobacco tax including neces-
