to be hoped that the next Congress Will
be composed OF men who have more re-
gard for public interest than this one
has had.
There are good prospects after all. for
the Oleomargarine bill. ;ls it has been
reported favorably to tie Senate. In
the rush. however. it may be neglected.
The great Appropriation bill for Ne
cutive. legislative ami judicial expenses
was not completed at the end OF the
fiscal year. and in ORDER to keep the
"wheel moving" it is necessary that a
resolution be adopted bv both houses
extending the appropriations for the
lr.sent year. This was done and people
who make their living out of the gov
ernment felt better.
1t is said that the President will 90
West during the summer. 1t is to lie
hoped that he will. He will return
with an enlarged idea of men and things
in this country.
Chairman Oberly of the Civil-Sewicc
Commission announces some iron clad
rules in reference to appointments:
among Others. that those Who have the
naming of clerks, ETC., shall not he per-
mltted To know the politics Of men
whose names he selects from. This is
Il good thing. but it comes 20, late to bc
OF amy benefit to Republican candidates

pany will pay the same percentage of the
amounts insured per acre, as tile grain

Examples: Insurance $1,000 per acre
the crop damaged 80 per cent. the Com
pany pays 5000 per acre.
Examples: Insurance S5.CG per acre.
the crop damaged - per cent. the Com,

In determining the percentage OF
damage no consideration shall he made
of the cost of the cutting and tllrsiing
the portion not destroyed.

The oil excitement has reached the
neighborhood of Cleveland, Webster
county. A test well will be bored
soon. Pennsylvania oil men, who
have visited our community, say
there is an abundance of oil here.
Your writer has observed gas boil

lily burns by sticking match to it.
1t is reported that the village Of
Maiden, Kanawha county, has been
relieved of it's charter and all its
franchise at the request of MAORI
ty of it's inhabitants, and Joel s.
Shrewsbury has been appointed re-
ceiver to take charge of and sell all
of the corporations effects and settle
it's accounts. The trouble originate d
from general neglect of the Town
Council to perform its duties.
Charleston people are under the

that indefinite something called the
public mind which requires two
classes of representatives one elect
ed, the other hired, one (the lobyist)
is known TO be the hired representa-
tive ofeapital, the other is too often
the plant tool of the same.
Now the laborer knows this, and
he sees the power of combination,
hence he combines into association
that he may be able to meet force
with force. We claim his cause is a
just one 1t is not for an abstract
principle that he contends so much,
as it is for right to enjoy part at
least of what he produces. For tits
true that the true source of all
wealth is labor applied to the earth
and again to its products. Evident
ly the real producers of this wealth
are the laborers. 1t is again true
that these, as class, enjoy the few
err of its benefits than those who do
least to produce it. That the few
who produce nothing, shall receive
such an abundance as will enable
them to live in absolute idleness,
while the producer and his family
are forced to live in abject poverty,
seems to us sufficient cause for COM
plant, for discussion, for agitation.
Has labor become a crime of such
turpitude that he who commits it
shall be condemned to perpetual
poverty which does not cease with
his lite, but which, like the old law
of attainder, reaches out and affects
his offsprings? Viewing the subject
in this light, and we have advanced
no fancied theories,--it is but natur-
al that this class should grow res
tive, the wonder is that these troub-
les are not more frequent

aRocK or AGES.n

Greek of ages, cleft for me-
Thoughtlessly the maiden sung:
Fell the words unconsciously
From her girlish, gleeful tongue;
Sung as little children sing;
Sung as sing the BIRDS in June;
Fell the words, like light leaves sown
On the current of the tune
Crock of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee"
'sRock of ages, cleft for me;'
Twas a woman sung them now,
Pleadingfy and prayerfully;
Every word her heart did know.
Rose the song as storm-tossed bird
Beats with weary wing the air,
Every note with sorrow stirred,
Every syllable prayer:
"Rock of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee"
Crock of ages, cleft for me-"
Lips grown aged sung the hymn
Trustlngly and tenderly,
Voice grown weak and eyes grown
dim
ssLet me hide myself in theew
Trembling though the voice, and
low,
Rose the sweet strain peacefully
As a river in its flow;
Sung as only they can sing
Who life's stony paths have pressed;
Sung as only they can sing
Who behold the promised rest.
s.Rock of ages, cleft for me,v
Sung above cOffin's lid,
Underneath, all restfully,
All iife's cares and sorrows hid.
Never more, O storm-tossed soul,
Never more from wind or tide,
Never more from pillows roll
Wilt thou need thyself to hidel
Could the sightless sunken eyes,
Closed beneath the soft gray hair,
Could the mute and stiffened lips
Move again in pleading prayer,
Still-ay, still-their song would be,
"Let me hide myself in thee"
-WiU s. Faris, of BeIJdir.
