ner got over 80 majority, and IT'S in
Berkeley County. Mr.. Feidt car
ried Martinsburg in 1884 by 667
against Unger's 610, and in the
County Unger had five majority.
Jeferson's big majority beats many
a good man. The election of Mr..
Getzendanner would have been
worth thousands of dollars to Jeffer-
son county in proclaiming to the
world the lowering of party siege,
and would have been worth millions
more to the 18th District in the non
factional services of a safe, sound
and substantial farmer citizen. 1t
would have made the peoples victory
complete.

In work, interest and political ex
element, the campaign of 1886 al
most equals that of presidential
contest. In this county both par.
ties exerted every effort to elect
their respective tickets. Every vote
was looked after by appeal, argu.
ment aud persuasion. The result is
known; the election is over. There
is time for politics; there is a time
for business and other duties of life,
in which we must all work together,
no matter how far apart we voted.
So let's lay politics on the shelf with
the banners and torches and badges
of election time, and go to work to
boom up business and trade.
Thanksgiving and Christmas are
coming, with portions of good cheer
for us all. Whether Republicans or
Democrats have been elected, we
trust it is for the best, and expect
from them the tulfillment of their
duties.

The main issue between the polit-
ical parties in the campaign now
over, was the question of tariff
against free trade. Put it as yon
may,-tariff reform, or reduction of
duty,-whole measure, half or none,,-
the voters looking at it in the light of
tariff against free trade,-outright.
In New York, Mr.. Hewitt, though
Democrat, was whole-souled pro.
tectionist, and he was elected over
Roosevelt, Republican free-trader,
IA rare bird indeed, though well
cooked now,) and Tenry George a
Labor man. This IS the strongest
indication that the protection issue
comes nearest the interests of the
nottingham. The successful party
of the future will be the one that
gives the most protection to the
American farmer, laborer, mechanic
and business man, at home and
abroad, IN state and national laws
in principle and in practice.

The newspaper men as profess
sion are entrusted with a vast
amount of confidential information,
which they are not, like lawyers and
doctors, paid to conceal. They are
the recipients and the hearers of a
great many private opinions, whose
authors would not like to see them
in print; and yet these condolences,
often not at all pledged, are seldom
violated.-SprinQfeld Republican.
The editor is usually cursed and
abused for any wrong that he may
do, and gets little credit and less
pay for the good he does. He cares
little for his critics and abusers, and
fears them less but when he meets
with christian pugilist' he puts
him down as a dangerous man, for
his arrows are sure to be tipped with
deadly poison, something only re-
sorted to by the most barbarous and
half-human tribes.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. IA
letter, under date of Apia, Oct. Is,
says that authentic news has reach
ed Samoa to the effect that on the
morning of September 10 over one
hundred heavy shocks of earth
quake occurred on the Island of
Ninafou, one of the Tonga group,
and that from the bottom of the
lake, which is two thousand feet
deep, mountain has arisen to the
height of three hundred feet above
It's surface. Also, that this noun
tain has burst out in flames and
thrown out hot stones and sand in
quantities as to destroy two-thlrds
of the cocoanut trees ON the island.
In Samoa light shocks of earth
quake occur so frequently now that
they no longer cause any alarm.

The result of the elections IS a
wholesome lesson to Democrats and
Republicans. 1t is the voice of the
people, speaking by their ballots,
for a more settled course of legisla.
ton. The money and labor world
is disturbed. Prices are at the low
est ebb, while taxes are on the in.
crease, and the people burdened by
debts. 1t shows, too, that the vot.
ers are not inclined to be led in pol
itics, but are determined to lead
themselves for their own best inter.
ests. Coming home to our own
county, we can but hope that the
Republicans elected will give the
highest satisfaction, justifying the
confidence placed in them, and thus
earning honor and credit for the
party they represent. 1t was not a
Republican victory in itself, but the
party was made means of carrying
out the wishes of the people.

WEST VIRGINIA TWO TO TWO.

PARKERSBURG, w. VA, Noyem-
Der 4.-West Virginia's delegation
to Congress will stand two Republi-
cans and two Democrats. Hutch.
inson, Rep, is beaten in this district
for Congress by Hogg, Dem, by 4S5
votes. This city and county Hutch,
inson's home-gave him only 800
majority, when it was expected he
would get at least 900. The legis-
lature will be Democratic in both
branches-in the Senate by two ma
jority, and in the House of Dele
gates by from four to six. In this coun-
ty two members of the legislature
were lost. In Jackson, the next
county, two were lost, and one in
Mason. A state senator was lost in
this district by eleven votes. Other,
wise the Senate would have been a
tie. The use of money by Camden
men in the three counties mention.
ed has lost this state a Repub
lican United States Senator. A
change of $50 votes, all of which are
Republican, would have given the
Republicans the legislature. Flick,
Rep, is elected in the Second dis.
trict by 200 majority. The Repub
Iicans are feeling good at the cleo
ton of two congressman, and the
Democrats are not jubilant at theil
small majority in the legislature
and the additional fact that they
have carried the state by but a few
hundred. They know that only
the purchase of votes has given
them the Legislature, and the almost
certainty of their losing the state
government at the next election is
not designed to cheer them.
