mower to further the cause of Christianity.
He does use rather uncouth and ''slangy"
language, but what matter if some sinners
heart is reached in 50 doing? l will guar
antee that every word uttered by Sam
Jones on the Moundsyille camp
ground was listened to by hundreds
of sinners, and if anything said by him
will cause one sinner TO turn towards God
then his work has not been in vain and he
is not open to criticism. The good Lord
send us more ministers like Jones and less
ofthe conventional, whining and hypocriti-
cal sort who now send their congregations
to sleep every sabbath! =.

his meanness' and let Jones do all the
GOOD he can without his putting in his lit

REPUBLICAN INCONSISTENCY.

This is a resolution adopted by the
Wood county Republican convention:
:. We arraign, as contrary to the spirit
Ot our Government, the conduct OF the
Democratic Legislature in !cfuSing to give
the people OF this State IN opportunity Il
discuss and to vote upon the proposed
prOhibitOry amendment to the Constitution
and we favor the submission by the next
session Ol the Legislature TO the voters o
this State of such IN amendment.
This sounds very well to all that do moi
know the record Of the Republicans in the
Legislature.
Our State Constitution provides in Sec
ton Is of Article that the Legislature
may pass laws prohibiting the sale Of in
toxicating liquors within the State. Mr.
OXLEY, recognizing this, introduced into
| the last House of Delegates this resolution
ReSoIr,d, That the Judiciary Committee
be instructed to prepare and report ut once
bill prohibiting the sale Of Intoxicating
| liquors i'm the State.
II will be remembered that many Of the
Republican members were then clamoring
| for submitting an amendment to the Con
stitution To this effect. Yet when they
were given an opportunity to vote for pro,
hibition they went square back on theil
professions and voted against the reSOlu-
ton. Only three of the siXty-tOur votes
were given in favor Of the resolution,
MeSSrs. ALEXANDER, MILLER and OXLEY.
This shows how inconsistent the Re
publicanS are in regard to the cause OF
prohibition. Those who are the lOudest
now in trying to gain prohibition votes by
passing resolutions and in whitewaShing
the Republican record would be frightened
out OF their senses were they suddenly
brought up face to face with prohibition
| and asked to show their colors by voting
for it, and would try to excuse them
selves by using the words of Mr.. JAMES
MENAGER: That n political party ought
not to be based upon temperance, religion
or morality
Let the Republicans mediate upon the
action of their members in the Legislature
and try To be consistent.

THE CONGRESSMAN FROM TIL
SrIONn DISTRICT.

TIE CONGRESSMAN FROM TIE
SECOND DISTRICT.
And so, the Hon. WILLIAM l.. WILSON
and the Second Congressional District are
again to be mutually honored. The Dem
Ocratic convention at Keyser yesterday and
the popularity of Mr.. WILSON have so de-
creed it.
Just rs we expected. There were sever
al other prominent Democrats who would
have done themselves and their party credit
had they been nominated. But Mr.. WILSON
has done so well that his constituents want
to show their appreciation OF his services
by nominating him by reclamation and
by re-electing him.
Mr.. WILSON is now in the prime OF
manhood, having been born ut Charles
town, May 3, 1sl3 He is one Of the most
scholarly men in the House. Heis grad
uate of Columbia College, and was for a
time professor in that institution; attend
ed the University OF Virginia, graduated
ut the Columbia Law School, and was
President of the West Virginia University
when elected to the Forty-eighth Congress,
and is a man well read not only in his pro-
ltesion of law, but on the questions OF the
day and in the literature of the past and
present.
Mr.. Wilson's course in Congress has
been one of credit to himself and the party
that elected him. What little local dis
satisfaction has occurred on account Of APP
pOintments to federal positions, is rendered
80 obscure by his excellent services for his
constituents that it is not worthy of men
ton.
We congratulate Congressman WILSON
and the Democrats OF the Second District,
and when the evening of election day rolls
round, We expect to again congratulate
both on their victorious campaign.

"a METHODIST PREACHER" CRIT
ICISED
For His Criticism Upon the Rev. sam
Jones.

Jones.
| To tls Editor Of the Register:
A Methodist Preacher" writing about
sam Jones, from MoundSyille, says: Some
were captivated by Jones, not his theology,
for he has none, only quit your medRReSS. -
| This brother must be one of the kind de-
scribed by Jones rs going about looking
like they ought to apologize for something,
and, in this case, l think an apology is in
order. Why did the good brother wait
to make his uncharitable remarks until
Jones was so far away that he could not
answer him? The kind brother must
have been afraid of Jones'
He must be one of that class of preachers
described by SOnes aS leader OF the town
prayer meeting; the very one who gives
out that good old tune, "Hark, from the
TombS the DOleful JOund, only he waited
until Jones departed before he let
out his dOleful music. A layman at
MoundSville says the prayer meetings NJ
| the Methodist Church there have hereto
fore been indeScribable until Jones took
them in hand Monday morning. This
brother says that there are persons here
who opened their mouths and took in with
q smile Brother Jones pills" Not ut all
wonderful. While Jones does not attempt
to put sugar-eoating on his pills, the pills
themselves do so much good after taking
that one cares nothing for their bitter taste.
The most unpalatable medicine is gener-
ally the best and effects the most cures.
The fact of the matter is that Jones is
so eloquent and powerful that, as a matter
of course, all these little one-horse preach
ers are envious of him. No unbiased hearer
Of his Sunday morning sermon could
truthfully say that it was not both elO-
quent and fervent.

biased and 50 enyiOus as to deny that Jones
is without doubt doing the best in his

THE Republicans of Ohio and Michigan

is to have his name correctly pronounced.

CHAS. EDGAR HOGG RECEIVES THE
NOMINATION.

Our dispatches this morning announce
that on the thirty-eighth ballot, CHARLES
EDGAR HOGG, Of Mason, received the DEM
Ocratic nomination for Congress of the
Fourth District.
Thiswill he great surprise to the many
admirers of Hon. EUSTACE GIBSON here
abOutS, who have insisted all along that he
was sure TO get denomination. There were
also quite a number of Judge JACESON's
friends who are also disappointed They
too were Sanguine that after the first two or
three ballots, if denomination was reached
in the meantime, that the. Judge would
come off victorious But that old QUOTA
ton about 1.-THE race is not always to the
swift or the battle to the strong" is
wildly distinct in this instance.
The selection of Mr. HOGG to be the
standard bearer of the Shoe String district
was probably the very best way out of q
bad box; the best thing that could be done
after the hard and bitter fight made upon
each other by Judge JACKSON and
Congressman GIBSON. Each was ac-
cused by the adherents of
the other with all sorts of recreancy to
party ties in the past, and that if one was
nominated the other would not support
him. While much of this was ''bluster
before convention" done to weaken one
and strengthen the other, among the ad-
herents OF the two most con-
spieuOus contestants, nevertheless some
little of it had its effect, and did harm to
both. Mr.. HOGG, although not making
the stir that the other two gentlemen did
in the county contests for friends
and delegates, had for all
that, an excellent and determined
following In fact, it was fifty-One votes
on the first ballot, but four less than Judge
JACKsON's strength. He has quietly
watched the wearingaway of hisOppOnents'

Mind i'll Farming.

The idea has generally prevailed
in the past, and possibly more by
farmers than others, that for the
business of farming but little in.
teIlectnal training was necessary.
A willingness to work on in the
old routine, that has been trans
mitted from the practices of the
past. was all that could he safely
relied on for success. This mar
row view, born aud kept alive by
ignorance only, is a mistaken falla-
cy of the past, fast dying out, rath-
er than the sentiment OF Intelligent,
present, thought. The agriculture
Of to:day is not'l,ased sons manual
labor alone. The education Of the
mental faculties, as well as the
training of the hand o work skill
fully, is recognized as an essential
in fitting for the life work OF the
farm. Upon these, intelligence
and labor combined, rest the hope
of progress IN agriculture. And
yet it may be questioned iffarmers
fully appreciate the valuo to their
children Of a home training and
education in tile work and in the
business Of the farm. Each year
shere go out from the farms young
men and women to assume the
work OF managing farms for them
selves. Are these young men and
women as well educated and train
ed in the work and business affairs
of the farm as they, the sons and
daughters of farmers, ought, with
their opportunities, to be9 We
fear there is yet too much of indif
ference in parents in teaching
their children the business OF farm

Deep Cultivation of Corn.

To pillow corn deeply after it has
attained "a heightof two or three feet
is exceedingly injurious. All deep
cultivation should be finished be-
fore the corn is a foot high. The
roots ofcorn grow very rapidly,an
when the plant lis a foot high the
roots often meet from row to row.
If the roots were. broken then they
will throw out many fibres, Which
will soon make up for the temper
airy injury done. But if the roots
are broken later the plant is de-
pending much more upon them
and the check is proportionately
A crop of corn plowed deeply when
in blossom and dry weather sue
ceeding will certainly be ruined
The director of the New York en-
pertinent station at one time did
certainly advocate what he called
root pruning OF corn, and did a
very mischievous thing, which his
after withdrawal of it and confes-
sion of his mistake went a very
short way to remedy. The late
cultivation of corn aud all cultiva-
ted crops should he as superficial
as possible.-New York Times.

To-day is a king in dis uise. To

experience that all good and great
and happy actions are made up
precisely Of these blank to days.
The memory is perpetilally look

those repositories i'll animals that
are filed with stores Of food, on
which they may ruminate when
their present pasture fails.
Pain itself is not without it's al

frequent, but it is seldom both VIC
lent and long continued, and it's
pauses and intermissions become
positive pleasures. 1t has the
power OF shedding % satisfaction
over intervals of ease, which few

Economy is the parent OF integ.

the beauteous sister of temperance.
of cheerfulness and health. And
protuseness is IL cruel and crafty
demon, that gradually involves her
followers in dependence and debt,
that letters them with Sirons that
