FREE TRADE DECEIT.

Randall told some pungent but
wholesome truths to the Democratic
free trade suicides who so unwisely
forced him to assume the aggressive
lately IN the House and the truths
he told are Of national importance,
as they stamp the free trade the.
oIists with the baldest deceit.
Speaker Carlisle lives only across
the river from Ohio. He is one of
the ablest of the Democratic cam
paigners of the country; but what
Democrat of Ohio, or of Indiana, or
of West Virginia, or of New York,
or of Connecticut, or of New Jersey
thought of asking, or permitting,
Carlisle to stump any OF those States
in 1884?
Morrison is an able man on the
hastings; put what debatable State
heard his voice for Cleveland in
1884? What committee of Ohio,
Indiana, West Virginia, New York,
Connecticut or New Jersey called,
or thought of calling upon Morrison
to help them in the battles
And what debatable State, or
what State debatable or not, did not
want to hear Randall In every
close contest he was wanted, and he
was wanted solely because he Was
expected to cover the deceit that a
few leaders hoped would give free
trade the victory by deluding the
people. They have been deceived
in Randall only as he has failed to
join them in deceiving the nation.
AS it was in 1884, so it will be in
1886 and again in 1888. Randall
will be wanted this year not only to
save the party at the polls from the
free trade deceit, but he will be
wanted to save Congressman who
reluctantly followed the despotic free
trade organization of the House.
And he will be wanted South as well
North for the South is growing weary
of free trade theorists who protect
only distilleries and would DESTROY
diversified Industry. Randall struck
the marrow of the issue when he
struck the deceit of free traders, and
his ability, integrity and courage are
the chief hope of Democratic safety
in the future.-P hila. Times.

CAIRO, ILL, June pa singu-
lar story has reached here from Gin
ton, Ky. 1t appears that George
o. Daniels, of that place, had been
ill for several months, and last We'd
nesday, to all appearances, died. The
remains were put in casket, where
they remained for twenty hours,
awaiting the arrival of relatives to
attend the funeral. At midnight
Thursday the watchers heard deep
groan emanating from it, and all but
one, a German named Wabbeking,
precipitately rushed from the room.
Wabbeking remained, and as the
groans continued, he raised the cof-
fin lid and saw that Daniels was
alive. Selling the body, he placed it
up right. A few spasmodic gasps, a
shucder, and the corpse spoke aloud.
The relatives returned to find the
man sitting in chair and conversing
with reasonable strength. Mr.. Daniels
claims to have been aware of
everything which passed around
him, but says he was unable to move
a muscle. He heard the sobs of his
relatives when ae was pronounced
dead by doctors, and noticed the
preparations for the funeral. He
is about eighty years of age.

GET READY

Inc elecClOn This flll IN west ' IT.
ginia for Congressman, State SEN
ators, members of the House OF Rep
resentatiyes, &C., will take place in
November. Already the work of
organization has commenced in some
counties. In Monongalia the Re-
publicans-who are conscious of
their strength and seem secure 10
their power-have evinced but little
interest, although there has been a
studied effort OH the part of the op
posite party to put out feelers."
AS the election will be nearly a
month later, the usual interest seems
to be little tardy.
Representatives of the Republi-
can party Of Monongalia county,
however, are fully aware of the i'm.
portant issues that will come up in
the Legislature next winter, aud are
impressed with the duty Of the
hour.
The Moundsville Herald remarks
that for West Virginia Republicans
the signs OF the times are propitlous.
If they stand together and keep cool,
something will drop next November.
The fact is, the Democratic party in
this State is hopelessly divided. The
Camden and Wilson, or State House,
factions are preparing to knife each
other at every point, while the little
faction whose headquarters are at
Charleston, and which advocates
free trade and the payment of our
States share of the Old Dominion
State debt, will fight all opposition,
from whatever source it comes.
While Democracy is thus pretty
badly torn up, she has heretofore
shown remarkable skill in "pulling
herself together" when the spoils
were in danger. We have no posi-
tive evidence that she will not be
able to do so this time, but we have
some things in our favor. The De,
mocracy was never before so badly
split, with so little hope of being
able to heal the existing difficulties.
Again, the change needed to make
the Legislature Republican is so
slight. In some counties, two years
ago, the Democratic majority was
much less than hundred, and Re-
publican representatives were only
lost through Republican Indifference.
Those Republicans now realize what
may be done, and there will be no
Indifference this time.
1t is not our desire to build up
groundless hopes. But let every
Republican in West Virginia con-
slider these facts and do his duty
next November. 1t will not do 20
think the thing safe and relax our
efforts. We must work necessarily
from now until the election. An en-.
couraging sign is to see Democrat
lie journals forging thunderbolts to
hurl at kickers" after the election.
For the Republicans, swatch and
work" are the words.-Morgdntown

CUMBERLAND, Nd, June 90
William Josling and his child met
with a terrible death at Hancock
Saturday evening by being struck
by passenger train No. 6. His wife.
who was with him, made narrow
escape from the same fate. From
what can be learned they were walk
ing from Cincinnati to Baltimore.
In getting out of the way of a west
ern bound freight train they STEP
ped directly in front of No. 6, which
was running at the rate of fifty miles
an hour.
His wife, who is of g nervous dis
position, stepped from the track
barely in time. Her husband and
child stepped on the track not look
ing back, and as the freight train
was making too much noise, could
not hear the passenger train. Both
we're instantly killed. The remains
were taken charge of by Berkeley
county and will be buried at Berke-
ley Springs by the county.

One day last week as Mr.. Fred
Himmler, of Cumberland, was riding
in his buggy along the road ten miles
south of Moorefield, Hardy county, a
huge she bear came bounding into
the road. Himmler drew his revol-
yer and fired two shots, the second
taking effect in her ribs. just then
a man with big rifle came out of
the woods from the same direction
as the bear, and bringing his gun
to his shoulder sent a ball into the
bears head and she rolled over
dead. In a few minutes two cubs,
the size OF large puppies, appeared
on the scene, and HImmlcr and the
hunter proceeded to capture them,
receiving "a number of little bites
and big scratches in doing so. After
the excitement was over the hunter
told him he had been hunting the
bear for several days, and after
consultation, it was determined that
he should have the carcass and
Mr.. Himmler the cubs.

With this term of the U. s. Court
Gen. w. Fl. H. Flick, U. S. District
Attorney, makes his last official
visit to Parkcrsburg. His term Of
Office expires in August at which
time he will be superseded by Dem
ocratic legal talent. This fact will
be recalled with regret by the large
circle of friends possessed by the
gentleman. For the four years that
General Flick has had charge of the
business of the Government, his du-
ties have been discharged in such
an efficient and able manner rs to
challenge the commentator Of all
who have known him in bis official
capacity. During his term he has
had some of the most important
cases which have ever come before
the U. S. Courts of West Virginia.
He prosecuted the famous Manion
gang of counterfeiters and sent them
to Moundsville almost without an
exception. In the opinion OF Gov
eminent secret service official, in a
recent conversation with the writer,
this was one of the largest under
takings ever attempted by a Dis
trict attorney and brought to an ex.
ceptionally successful issue. Dur
ing his term also the Scioto-Lomas
cases, cases of National interest,
came into the court. Dave Keller,
pilot Of the Inflated excursion steam
er Scioto. has but recently been par
doned from Moundsville, where he
was sent convicted of manslaughter,
despite the strenuous efforts Of the
ablest counsel that money could pro-
cure. These are but few of the
prominent cases in addition, there
have been thousands of minor caus.
eS. He closes his term with the
best wishes of all with whom he has
come in contact. He will take with
him to private life the consciousness
ofduty well performed.-Statc J0ura-

FLEMINGToN, N. j., June o.
There is great excitement throughout
Hunterton county over the poisoning
of two hundred people at a picnic
near the town of Petersville. The
symptoms were those of ordinary
arsenical poisoning. Every one was
taken sick within twenty -four hours
after returning home. None OF the
cases have proven fatal so far,
although there are at last fifty per-
sons who are still sick in bed. So
many people were sick on Sunday
that the little Petersville church was
almost empty and the preacher
dismissed the congregation. The
grocer who sold the meat is almost
crazed. People have thoughtlessly
made serious charges against him.
He says he knew nothing ofthe mat
ter. He bought the canned meat at
a place in New York he supposed 10
be reliable. The cans, the meat, some
of the sand wiches and the melted
ice cream are to be examined.

The Star-Eyed Goddess perched
in the editorial chair of the Louis.
vile Courier-Journal office, is mad
enough to eat itself over the defeat
of its pet measure-the Morrison
free trade bill. 1t shakes it's fists
angrily at the nothern Democrats,
calls them traitors and demands that
they be retired and none but the
simon pure of the English branch of
the party be put on guard. Then it
pats the South ON the back and
turns q scowllng eye westward,
whence came the defeat of the bill
because wool, the great western in
dustry, is on the free list. With
another paternal look towards Beau
voir, it turns all its fury upon Sam
Randall and proceeds to demolish
him, and as if exhausted by such
great mental efforts it sinks back on
it's free trade couch and begs the
people to come to its aid. The bad
temper which marks the free trade
struggle is the best evidence of the
weakness and hopelessness of the
cause. So it was in days gone by.
Everybody East or West, North or
South, who did not agree with such
bitter extremists as Watterson, were
traitors and rebels-such as he were
the great patriots and friends of the
people. That pet theory was upset
In due time. Free trade is not an
American institution, though much
the English would like to have it
adopted here. Its friends want to
force it upon the country, partly as
a cure-all that has failed everywhere
else, and partly because they have
no other issue upon which to stand.
The Republicans and many Demo-
Gratis are in favor Of a judicious re-
form in the tariff, in such reductions
as have been made, but they will
always oppose anything like free
trade measure, such as Morrison's.

The announcement from Charles
ton (official) that the distrlbutable
school fund for this year will be
1867, 724.96, as against S164,5 24.3O
last year will no doubt be echoed
throughout the State by the Demo
cratic papers as superior fnanceer-
ing by the State by the present
and reform for which
it should receive the highest praise.
Let us see. Last years deficit from
the previous year was in round
numbers S63, 600. Less than the year
previous, and the previous year
S37 900 from the year ending 'S3,
and there had been shortage in
1882. The total deficit in the school
fund the past four years was greater
than 50 per cent. and the sum now
dee Jared for distribution is no greater
than it onght to be. Indeed, when it
is considered that Governor Wilson's
Administration has had the advan-
tage of the double supplemental as
sessments, the collection of large
sums of unpaid railroad taxes and
the increased revenue derived from
the license tax on the sale of Tobacco,
and the tax of $40 on each incor
porated Company in the State, the
only matter of surprise is that
the sum is not still greater. The reg
ular fund for this year ought to be
as large as the amount named. We
want to know where the deficit of
$4,000 of last year and the preced-
ing deficits are.
The people may congratulate them
selves that the exposure of last years
steal has caused something near an
honest destribut on of this years
fund, but the same administration
which accounts for all the fund this
year caused the deficit of S63, 900
last year.-Grafton Eagle.
