Mrs. Isaac Hamburger Of Cincinnati
and her two-weeks old baby have both
been under a DOCTORS care. For the
mother he prescribed morphine and for
the baby pepsin, both in powders. The
powders were dore up in papers much
alike, and the nurse ,carelessly mixed
them. The result was that the baby got
the morphine and the mother pepsin,
and the baby went to sleep and never
awOke.

THE conversations between Senators
"henchmen," and so forth, as detailed in
the Charlestown Democrat, are fearfully
and wonderfully gotten up. They are
so fluent and so numerous that one is
led to believe that the machine that
turns them out is run by crank.

he will have changed his mind enough
to give the Democrats some show for

Our esteemed contemporary, the Mar
tinsburg Statesman, takes it very hard
that the Democrats of Jefferson county
express their opinions to the effect tina
this county is entitled to the next State
Senator, on the ground that Berkeley
gave her chance to Morgan two years
ago. We admire the Statesman for its
spunk in trying to get State Senator
from Berkeley-if it can-but at the
same time cannot admit that it has all
the right on its side. The question is
one, however, that Is best settled at
Berkeley Springs next week, and what
ever may be done then will be acquiesced
in by the Democrats of Jefferson, and
we hope also by our friends in Berkeley.
SPEAKING Of the pension business,
Speaker Carlisle recently made the fol-
lowing remarkable statement: "They
have always been fighting in Europe.
They have had great many wars there.
We have had but one war to which we
are paying pensions. Yet we pay
to-day for pensions fully one-third more
than all the other civilized nations of
the earth are paying. Our payment of
pensions to soldiers and sailors this year
will be $40, $50, 900, while the aggregate
payment OF all the world combined is
considerably less than $50, oo0, o00." And
yet Congress increases this enormous
sum instead of reducing it-simply be-
cause the members are afraid Of losing
votes II they seek to economic.

One Of the queerest campaigns ever
heard of is now being made in Tennes-
see. Hon. Robert Taylor is the Demo-
cratic candidate for governor, and his
brother, Alfred Taylor, is the Republic
can candidate. The brothers are stump
ing the State, having joint discussions,
both playing the fiddle to please the
mountaineers, arguing against each
other, and with it all they are on the
best of terms with each other. They
travel together, sleep together, and ye.
fight each other politically. Bob, the
Democrat, seems to have the best of
the fight.

THE Indian murderer and outlaw,
Geronimo, has been captured and his
entire band made prisoners, but now it
has them, the government does not
know what to do with them. Person.
ally, Geronimo deserves to be hanged,
but when we reflect on the long years
of oppression his people have suffered
and the multitude of wrongs the whites
have inflicted upon them, we are forced
to the conclusion that as long as there
are so many other unhung rascals the
poor Indian should not be punished.
