/ met the other day one of the brightest
young Democrats West Virginia boasts in
the person of S. b. Brown, Of Chenille.
Mr.. Brown is a prominent business man
and travels extensively through the
counties of Gilmer, Doddridge, R0ane,
Braxton and others. Said he: sour
people are being educated on the tariff
question. The farmers OF the interior sec
tons of the State have had their eyes
opened. With this class in West Virginia
the Democratic party has never been
stronger than it is to-day. They realize
that the tariff, that builds up the I'M
earned fortunes of millionaire monOpolists
like the Hearnes of Wheeling is curse to
them. l know personally not less than a
dozen farmer Republicans who will vote
the Democratic ticket They are en-
thusiastic in favor of tax reform. In
Roane county, at the Democratic prima-
ries last week, vote was polled within
four Of the whole number of votes cast for
Governor Wilson. Such an outpouring at
q primary was never known in the county
before. You can count on these counties
that have been gradually falling off in
their Democratic vote, coming up with
largely increased msjorities next fall.
Gilmore will give 800 or more for the
Democratic nominee

The assertion of Chairman Dave Johnson
that the Prohibition party will carry out
its programme AID nominate complete
State ticket is likely to provoke the aver
age Republican editor TO weeping and
wailing and crashing of teeth. The Pro-
hibitiouists are better organized than ever
before, and will make good fight. As no
one is compelled to vote their ticket who
don't want to, it is hard to see on what
grounds these officious gentlemen COM
plain. Posses your souls with patience

The Republican candidates for the
Gubernatorisl nomination are not especial
ly numerous or enthusiastic. The faith
full realize that it carries no substantial re-
wards and little honor. Real leaders are
slow to court defeat. The great and
mighty Golf could have the nomination II
he 80 desired, but in all probability he
would not take it. MCLEAN, OF Putnam,
is spoken of most, and ne has the one
requisite for a Republican candidate for
Goyeruor-a barrel. MCLEAN, it is un-
derstood, wants to head the ticket. The
Fourth district will be practically solid for
him, and, with no decided opposition from
otherquarters, he should have little trouble
in accomplishing his ambition. James b.
Menager may prove smsll-sized STUN
bling block, but James is young and has
no barrel. Hence, it does not require q
prophet to see that James will get left.

The Second District Republicans have q
warm fight OH hands for the Congressional
nomination. Hon. Thos. H. b. Staggers,
of Marion, and Hon. Geo. Harmon, OF
Grant, would both like to contest with
Mr.. Wilson. Mr.. Staggers is one of the
best speakers and most accomplished poll
ticians in the district. He is representa-
tive of the young and independent element
OF his party, and has the bosses and ring
STEERS against him. All is not harmonious
in his own county, and Mr.. Staggers will
have some trouble there before he gets to
the convention. Harmon is farmer, and
perhaps as strong man rs there is in the
Republican party in the district, Neither
would stand ghost of chance Of election
against Mr.. Wilson or any other Democrat.

The last excursion of the State Board OF

THE DAILY
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 81, 1888.

CONSIDERABLE feeling was caused yes
terday in connection with Mr.. Graen-
halgh's departure. He owes certain
amounts in tOwn-nO very heavy sum
probably, but sufficient to cause protests
to be filed against his passport. 1t trans
PRED that he had passport from the
Foreign Office and departed serenely.
The matter of his going is probably of
no great moment, but the existence of a
system whereby the object of the pass
port law can be and frequently is de-
feated, is certainly pernicious. Strong
attempts have been made to abolish the
law. Such an attempt was made at the
last session and was opposed by our in
f1uential portion of the Ministry, which
probably caused the failure of the eff
fort. Such being the case it certainly
lies with the Ministry to use great eau
ton that the object of the law shall not
be defeated from headquarters. 1t is
probable that Mr.. Graenhalgh will re-
turn and will properly adjust all of his
affairs. He certainly appears like an
energetic man and one who may prove a
valuable citizen. The whole affair illus
trates the absurdity of having laws
which can be negatived if desired. Bet
ter abolish the whole law at once and
have done with foolishness.

Extraordinary Story of the Sea.

Our Queenstown correspondent tele-
graphs that the National steamer Spain,
from New York at that port, brings in
t9lligence that an aged gentleman named
Murtagh, residing in Brooklyn, received
a letter recently from one of the unin-
habited islands of the South Sea cluster,
called Ajee, written by friend of his
named Captain Green, who was believed
to have been lost at sea during the spring
of 1858 in a vessel commanded by him
called the Confederation, which sailed
from New York in February of that year
for Australia, and, not having been
heard of afterwards, it was presumed
that she had foundered with all on board,
numbering sixteen, including two women.
The letter, written on a soiled leaf of
ships lOgbook, was dated July, 1887,
and was put aboard a whaling bark.
which passed near the island about
that time. The writer said that no
doubt he and all hands aboard the
Confederation had been given up as lost.
He then related how the vessel found
cred after being nine weeks at sea, and
that the crew, including himself and two
women, having taken to two boats, and
after forty days landed on some coral
reefs of the Island of Ajee, there being
no signs OF habitation, but an abundance
of game, fish, fruits and water. No yes
sci came near the place until one eve
ming in December, 1862, when eight of
the crew put off in a boat to intercept
her. The weather being very stormy
they never returned to the island, and
Captain Green thinks the eight men
were lost. He further states that the
women became the wives of two of the
remaining castaways, and that although
there were several deaths on the island,
the population at the time he wrote con-
sisted of twelve persons, who felt quite
contented. They were, however, badly
in need of clothing. During thirty years
they had communicated from the island
with only three vessels, and his letter
was four years written waiting to put it
on board ship. Captain Green said he
was sixty-eight years of age, and in good
health, and he requested Mr.. Murtagh
20 make the contents of the letter public.

We publish elsewhere a translation
from the Luso Hawaiiano. 1t indicates
g some extent the course of thought
among our Portuguese brethren. We
live in a singular community. Race
differences produce at least five wholly
distinct classes with some interests in
common but many which are wholly
diverse. There is no doubt that the anti
Chinese feeling is very strong with the
Portuguese, but it is not wholly founded
in justice. The lack of land has more to
do with idleness among that people than
any Chinese competition. If they could
be settled on small farms scattered over
the country, the Chinese themselves
would be consumers to a certain extent
of their produce, such as poultry, swine,
some vegetables and other farm products.
There is no reason in the assertion that
the election of 1890 will be terrible
struggle, and that it will be fortunate if
1t terminates peaceably." The article
bears marks of an attempt to keep alive
bitter feelings and to revive hostilities
which might we'll be buried. The
Chinese question will continue a live
issue, but there are other differences
which had better be put aside. The real
of the Portuguese and all others |
demand a united effort to revive the |
whole round of industries in the country. !

Recently Discovered Rock.

Captain Lee of the Canadian Pacific
steamship Abyssinia reports that on Sep
TENDER 14th, at OBS p. m, in latitude
So deg. 80 min. N. and longitude 142 deg.
q min. E., he passed small rock or
reef within distance of about 215 miles,
which is not indicated on the charts. AT
the time there was a moderate n. w.
breeze with fine clear weather. The sea
was comparatively smooth, but was OBJ
served to be breaking on the rock or reef
which was just awash. Captain Lee had
obtained most reliable observations of
latitude at noon, and believes his chron-
ometers to have been correct. He thinks
this to be the same reef reported as seen
by Russian man-of-war in 1859 and
again in 1870, but further to the n. E.

Paper is now manufactured from sea-

this way is said to be so strong as to be
almost untearable, is sufficiently trans

At Salt Lake, Utah, the Supreme
Court has entered final decree in the
Mormon Church cases, declaring the
dissolution of the Mormon Church as a
corporation, and decreeing that all it's
property, both real and personal, shall
become escheated to the Government
for school purposes in Utah. The Court
holds that polygamy is still tenet of
the Mormon faith, and therefore denies
the application of individual members of
the church to have the escheated prop
erty transferred to them.
