A Town that hRs BrlghtoHod uP-The DeHl'

Correspondence Of ne IRtelliqAoT'
RoMNRY, w. Va, March 2S.-ROmney,
like many other West Virginia towns, is
little for It's age, but it makes up in quality
what it lacks in numbers. Its 600 inhAb-
itants are much above the ayerSge in mat
ters oiCulture.
Twas here in thesummer Of 1881, when
the new railroad was opened. thought
then that the town would likely take .
new lease OF life; and 1t has had some
growth. Several handsome residences ana
two churches, beautiful in architecture,
nave been erected. The extension OF the
railroad up the valley Of the South Branch
10 Mooreield, is, think, only mater OF
time, though the present prospect does
not appear to be encouraging.
The people Of RomRey seem 70 take
special pride in their public buildings,
The churches, school buildings and the
county court house are better than have
found in most towns OF like hiZe in this
State. A substantial brick building, con-
tanning public library and reading room
is an important element Of this place, an
element which, l suppose, has had much
10 do in forming the character anu culture
OF the people. But that which especially
distinguishes Romney from all other towns
0l the state Ia the fact that 1t IL the seat oil
the institution for deaf mutes and the
blind, ,, n
Coyell, the Principal, | had the privilege
OF looking into It's several departments
and OF studying its management, be-
came acquainted with all the instructors
and With many OF the students. Nearly
one hundred Of the youth OF the State,
who are denied the use oil one or more Of
the senses, are in the institution at pres,
emit. These find at once the comforts oil
home and the benefits OF school, where
hands and brains receive such training as
will best lit each one to be both independ-
emit and useful. The girls are taught,
among other things, TO cut and make and
mend their clothes, The boys, among
other things, learn to make mattresses
and brooms they have o tailor shop,
where they make their own clothes; q
shoe shop, where they learn alternating
u printing press, where they learn PRINT
ing, and where they publish weekly
paper, Thc TABLET. They study music anu
all the common branChes.
One feature OF the instruction which Is
especially worthy Of mention is teaching
deai.mutes to talk. Deaf persons are
mute, not because they cannot make
sounds, but because they cannot hear
their own voices and the voices Of others,
go as to learn language by imitation. The
new method teaches them to initiate the
movements Of the teachers lips and make
sounds. 1t asuCCess. Surely the Scrip
'turo is being fulfilled, "The tongue, oil the
dumb shall speak" A. L. WADE.

psMocIa11 ana the third rNrty.

Our Democratic friends in West Virginia
are so well pleased with the Third Party
movement that they are unable to conceal
their buoyant feelings. Their joyousness
il cropping ont in many places. Here we
have some OF 1t in the Huntington Adrcr'
Gser, a newspaper conducted by capable
gentleman and u politician who, 1t might
have been thought, would have been the
last to "glve the thingaway." Tho Adrer.
tiSer pats the Third Party leaders on the
back, and remarks:
The Probitionists are Contendlng for q
principle, and we admire their pluck and
courage In coming out and making fight
for what they believe to be right. Tho
straight ticket Is the thing, Mr.. freeman
stick to 1t even II you lose the good will OF
the INTRLLIGEScER and State Journal.
Yes, they are contendins for aprlnciple,
but that principle gets no CountenAnCe
from the Democratic party. Democrats
admire their pluck and courage, as the
chiyalrohs,edilor Of the Adrtrlisrdoes, and
like that estimable gentleman they will
not follow the lead Of those plucky and
courageous Third Party leaders. They
would vote the Republican ticket frat.
"Tho straight ticket ia the thlng"-for
whatP To advance the principle for
which the Third Party men are contend
ing2 II that were true Democratic lead
ers and Democratic newspapers would not
be encouraging the Third Party, for we
must do them the justice to say that their
whole force Is thrown on the other side Of
that question. The Third Party ticket
must be "the thing" because 1t cannot
win, and because 1t will make Republican
success moro difficult.
This being true, it Is a wonder that our
Democratic friends insist upon drawing
public attention TO their ardent desire
and their earnest effort.

DIE akteLlaeltl1E.
wuEE1INa, ", VA, MARCH 81 1886


Wa give place to an article by Mr. Ed
ward Atkinson on the economics olliVlng'
Whatever Mr.. Atkinson writes is Of inter
eat aud Il he can suggest way by which
more and better living can be got out OF q
dollar than heretofore, he will be like the
man who causes two blades OF grass to
grow where only one grew before
We may dismiss, as falling far short oil
the case, Mr.. Atkinson's passing sugges'
ton that his plan for better mode Of liV,
inc within small iuce me is solution OIL
the labor queatiOn. The reform must be
more radical which will solve the labor
question for woman who works sixteen
hours day for s. 50 week, and Tor the
man who lsbors for a dollar a day when
he can get employment. Certainly very
different remedy must be prescribed loI
those men on Mr.. Gould's railroad who
are able to earn but SIG month by steady
application.
IL ought to DO said, alao, that 1t Is not
desirable that those who can afford more
generous way OF living shall contentthem'
selves with picking the bare bones OF life
for that would mean suddenly shnn&en
demand for the countless products by
which men and women earn wages, which
surround man with physical comforts and
give him a better environment than that
Of the beasts that perish.
There are, however, a few points which
Mr.. Atkinson q article stoemphasize;
Tnere are few homes in which tho cook
log could not be improved, and this would
mean more health and comfort there are
few homes in which the waste does not
bear a too largo relation to the consumP'
ton Of food there is no home in which
the frying pan is not an enemy society
can never DO 20 well adjusted that there
will be nobody VINO will not have to cut
and Contrlys and practice the smallest
economies to support life.
