A dispatch from Charleston, this
State, says: An officer arrived in this
city last night, having in charge DISC
way Ludson, who was arrested on a
warrant charging him with being par
ty to the forgery Of the pension receipt
for which II. B. Martin was sentenced
to Two years in the penitentiary, and
for which n. j. Lesker is under bond
of $1,000 for completely. This small
forgery has been the cause of the ar
rest and trial Of one innocent man, w.
H. Justice; the conviction Of another,
the probable conviction of two more,
and, in addition, has cost the State a
large sum.

Juy.uIle RaiIroading.-Irvin

Delaney, Rodney Smith, both about
eleven years of age, and several other
boys on Friday captured hanG.car on
a switch near. Antietam station, Shen-
andoah Valley Railroad, and amused
themselves by riding down grade to a
point where some freight cars were
stationed. During their last trip Rod
new was seated on the front OF the car
with his legs dangling over the plat
form. Not being able to apply the
brake sufficiently, the hand-car collided
with the freight car and broke both
bones in his left leg between the knee
and ankle. His little companion then
carried him OIL his back to his home IN
Sharpsburg, about three-quarters OF
mile distant, where DIR. Biggs dressed
the broken leg. This young man has
faculty for injuring himself and put
ting his life in jeopardy. When quite
small he was tied in a high chair,
from which he managed to slide, catch
ing himself by the neck; he was re-
leased by his mother when life was
nearly extinct. Later he fractured
three of his ribs and, not very long ago,
a water-cart ran over his hand breaking
several fingers. 1t is thought he was
trying to break his neck when he only
hung himself.-Hagersto,cn Herald.

MASS MEETING.

Aessrs. Edaos.-The subject Of mass
meetings, primary meetings, and pri'
mary elections has been much discussed
lately, because the time for political
conventions is near at hand. 1t Is
unwise to make nominations for office
so long before the election in November.
More time ought to be given for the
people to decide who they want as can
didates for the different offices. The
demand is fairness-an honest plan to
ascertain the will of the people. The
will of the majority, fairly and honestly
ascertained, and fairly and honestly exc
cuted, is true Democracy. Any tricks,
schemes or devices which tend to OBJ
struct the ascertainment or execution of
that aiN are undemocratic, unrepubli-
can, unpatriotic, unprincipled and sell
fish. and must be condemned and
crushed, or the result is rule by mer-
cenary minority, who only want the
loaves and fishes for their chieftain and
his subordiratcs.
No political party can have, nor
deserves to have, success which is con-
trolled by the henchmen Of political
leaders. Ii may seem to prosper for
time, but discord and dismemberment
ensues from internal corruption, which
soon becomes manifest by wrangling
for individual supremacy, regardless Of
the will of the people.
What is the fairest plan to nominate
candiGates-that lie, the plan which is
most likely to ascertain the will OF the
majority? 1t is commendable that the
county press generally condemn the
mass meeting system. 1t is device re-
sorted to in Berkeley, Jefferson and
other counties to give united del
egation to candidate who did not der
serve it, and who could not get it in any
other way. 1t is easily seen through
and does not deceive the thoughtful, but
obstJu cts the will Of the people. 1t weak
ems strong candidate. The writer be-
lieves that Mr.. Wilson could easily get
majority of the votes in each county
district at a primary election. Why
then call a mass meeting to appoint DEL
egates in his behalf, which weakens
him at home and elsewhere? 1t is a
great mistake. 1t is really Charles
town meeting. Very few from other
parts of the county will attend. Ger
tainly no one who will oppose his nom
nation, knowing that opposition would
be useless. Every man has his oppo-
nents and enemies, and they have ii
right, being members of the same party,
to vote their sentiments. The mass
meeting effectually prevents This by
keeping them at home and by rendering
opposition useless on account Of their
absence and the apparent unanimity OF
the meeting because of its location and
we'll known purpose. If the primary
election system is adopted to select del
egates to all conventions Congressional,
Senatorial, House of Delegates, and
county Offices, no just complaints can
be made. No man can get the nomina'
ton who docs not receive the majority
Of the votes. The people have right
TO their choice, whether he lives in
Charlestown, Shenandoah Junction, oil
Scrabble. We want majority rule-not
minority mis-rule.

GROWTH OF BIG BooK.-When Web
ster's Unabridged was first published
in one volume, it was a compaI atively
small book. Some years after, an addi-
ton was made of l, 800 Pictorial Illus
trations, A Table of synonyms, and an
Appendix of New Words that had come
into use. A few years later came an
entirely new revised edition Of larger
size, with 5000 Pictorial Illustrations,
then, after an Interval of few years,
Biographical Dictionary of nearly
10000 Names, and a Supplement of
nearly 5000 New Words were added,
and now there has come u new and
most valuable addition, A Gazetteer OF
the World, of over $4,000 Titles. The
work is now not only the Dictionary,
par excellence, but a Biographical Die
tionary, Gazetteer Of the World, and
a great many other good things in its
many valuable Tables.

Good Re comm endation.- S upel


intcndent Wiedman, of Ohio county, in
his last report to the State Superinten-
dent, makes the following good recon-
mendation: The average length of time.
orr best teachers remain in the profess
sion is not very long. The reason is very
plain, and steps should be taken by our
next Legislature to remedy the evil,
and give to our best qualified and sue
cessful teachers an incentive to make
the profession permanent business.
If the manner of granting certificates
was changed and our teachers SO paid
that a No. l certificate commanded a
salary, that its holder could not AFFORD
to drop the profession: and the holder
of Mo- certificate could afford to
teach with the object of better qualify
ing himself, and No. 3 teacher would
not be justified in following the profess
sion we would, in my opinion, soon have
an educational revival in our little
Mountain State.

sbot nv - sherif.-Henry, alias

Cruso Robinson (coloredl, aged about
50 years, was shot last Sunday by Sheriff
Elias Cost, in self-defence,. on West
Church street, Hagerstown. About four
O'Clock Robinson's sister summoned the
sheriff to arrest her brother, who was
ut her house, drunk, and beating her.
As the sheriff stepped with his prisoner
into the street, Robinson turned on the
officer and began violently striking and
kicking him. The sheriff drew black
jack, which the prisoner grabbed, and
in the struggle for it the sheriff fell to
the ground, with Robinson on top. Rob-
inson belabored the officer with his fists
until he was taken off by several by
ISLANDERS. Robinson, although strug-
Cling hard, was then secured by nip
pers, and the sheriff started with him
out Of the crowd. AS the two cleared
the throng the prisoner suddenly kicked
the sheriff in the lower part of the ABB
domen, which doubled him up; and as
he backed away from the now Infatuated
negro, the latter struck him several times
with his feet. Before the crowd could
come to the sheriff's assistance, he was
against the fence, trying to avoid the
negro's kicks. The prisoner shouted,
with an oath, "I'll kill you, or you will
kill me-" and sent his boot-heel once
more against the sheriff's body. The
sheriff sickened under the blow, and in
answer to the cries from the crowd to
shoot he pulled his revolver and fired
twice. The first ball struck Robinson in
the right arm, producing flesh wound i.
the second shot took effect In his breast.
Although shot, the negro still contrived
to advance, and it was not until he was
tripped by one Of the crowd that he was
finally secured. The physician was
unable to locate the ball, because Robin
son opposed the operation by grabbing
the probe from his hand and bending it.
The supposition is that the ball passed
through the body and lodged near the
spine. The prisoner is now resting
quietly. Sheriff Cost is in bed, suffer-
ing very much from the bruises he re-
ceived.

THE ISSUE.

THE ISSUE.
Nessrs. Editors.-The paramount issue
in this campaign is one that everybody
can understand. 1t is this: Shall the
old democratic doctrine of the sovereign.
ty of the people be maintained, or shall
we continue to groan under the rum
power? Our representatives in the last
Legislature have undertaken by their
votes to say that the people cannot be
trusted-that they are incapable of self
government. Voters of Jefferson, what
do you think Of that?
