The re-appointment of Postmaster
Pearce, Republican, of New York, is
one of the shadows which coming
events cast before them. 1t is a
good appointment because he has
proved himself good man in that
place. But to the average office
seeker and politician it is an action
that will "ruin the party" Most of
the Presidents appointments are
men Of ability and character,
though little they may be known in
public life. There is nothing that
degrades government and peo-
pie so much as the appointment of
low and rough politicians to respect
able offices and positions, as re-
ward for party work. The people
should condemn the practice from
district, county and corporation off.
ces up-condemn it by refusing to
elect any party to Office or any man
who has anything to do with the low
political element. For this reason,
that man Higgins is a standing dis
grace to every other good man in
power and every decent person in
the party.

Last week a yonng married man
of Wheeling was arrested on a charge
of embezzlIng money, as paying clerk
in one of the nail works. He gave
bail for his release, wrote note to
his wife that he could not accompa-
nv her to the rink but would meet
her there later in the evening, and
then went and shot himself. But
for the temptations and allurements
which caused them to live beyond
their means, that family might be a
happy home, now life and happiness
are gone forever. Better to suffer
the privatiOns Of society and pleas
nre than to meet with such misfor
tune. The honest man cares not
for his poor clothes and humble life
as long as he can pay his debts ani
make an honest living. The slaves
of pleasure and fashion sacrifice
everything to keep up appearances
when the end comes they are despis
ed and forgotten, while the pool
man escapes the sneers of an I'M
grateful world, has a quiet ani
peaceful life, and leaves an honorei
and unstained memory.

FIFTY YEARS In COURT.

FAIRMoNT, March 27.-The eject

Sharp family, a case that has been
In the courts of Marion and Harri
son counties for nearly fifty years
terminated in the Circuit Court OF
this county today in verdict in
favor of the plaintiff. The case has
been on trial for nearly a week be.
fore Judge Fleming and a jury
Owing to the great celebrity of the
issue involved an immense crowd OF
people have been in attendance on
the sessions of the court.
Both parties claimed under grants
from the Commonwealth of Virginia.
The plaintiffs grants were signed
by " Beverly Randolph, ESQ.,, Gov
ernor Of Virginia. and bore date in
the year 1879. The defendants title
was a similar grant dated in 1885
and signed by "Littleton Tazwell,
Esq" Governor of Virginia. The
plaintiffs title papers were upon
sheepskin and are curiosities in
themselves. Although prepared
more than one hundred years ago
the writing is as legible as if written
yesterday. This case has outliyed
a generation of lawyers and judges.
The first decree or order entered
in it was entered by the Hon. Judge
Duncan in 1883. In the present
suit rhe plaintiff, Harrison Gain,
claimed title through the heirs Of
George w. Martin, the original
plaintiff, long since deceased. Hon.
James Morrow, Jr., and Thos. n. B.
Staggers, appeared for the plaintifE,
and Hon. F0ntain Smith and Arnett
and Haggerty for the defense.
