Spcctal Correspondence OF the Register.
MoRGANTowN, w. VA, February %.
The Farmers Union met at the Court
House this afternoon. After transacting
their routine business they adjourned, and
Immediately asked all Others not mem
bsrs of their union to select delegates for
the Wheeling Boom Convention.
After the election Of Mr.. II. l.. Cox as
Chairman, Hon. J. NJ. Hsgaas stated the
object of the meeting, and said the con-
veation was for the pucp5sesot arousingou
W people aud attracting Others to a
State not flowing with milk and honey,
but which could be made to produce both
in abundant quantities. Daring his re-
marks he spoke in eulogistic terms Of
Wheeling's hospitality, character, energy
and Jealous efforts in having this conven-
ton.
Mr.. HGgans then made motion to have
delegates appointed from each magisteTial
district.
Mr.. Joseph Moreland, in urging the ne
cessity of q representative from Mononga-
liza county, said he was modest ana con-
sentative, and not an excitable boomer; but
the convention at Wheeling was not only
a Boom Convention, but also for business
purposes and for developing the State.
We ought to be interested not only in de-
velcping the county but the whole State.
We have been heretofore more interested
in fostering and encouraging the wild
schemes of our plucky Western States. We
have permitted and even urged emigration
from our State, and allowed immigrants
"a pass through our State. We have been
secluded aud contented. Gentlemen, We
must send men of ability aud energy to
represent Us, for the press will watch and
c~riticise aud our people be judged by our
representatives. Let us send a number OF
men and the best men. Mr.. Cox then ad-
dressed the members aud here Is but one
of numerous good suggestions: that every
locally ought 10 be interested IN q uniform
development, thereby increasing the value
of all the lands, and thus decreasing the
taxation of ell. LAST Thursday evening
the Council appointed q number of gentle

STATE DEMOCRATIC EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE.

Now that the Democratic National Com
mittee has fixed the time and place for
holding the National Convention to nomi-
nate a candidate for President and Vice
President Of the United States, and have
also issued q call to the Democrats and
conservative people in the several States
and Territories, TO hold their State and
Congressional district conventions to select
delegates to the said National Convention,
would it not be well for the State Execu-
tive Committee to call a meeting at an
early day for the purpose of naming the
time and manner in which the Congress
sional delegates, and delegates at large,
shall be chosen? This State is entitled to
twelve delegates. Four delegates at large
and two from each Congressional district.
If q State Convention is decided upon, as
was the case four years ago, we
hope to see Wheeling selected for the
meeting. Aside from the excellent accomo-
dations and convenience5 our city affords,
the Democracy of Ohio county and the
Pan Handle have a special claim. The
State Convention to nominate State officers
will probably be held this year at some
other point than Wheeling, as rotation
OF the several cities in the State has been
the custom, and as Wheeling had it four
years ego, she will stand little show this
time. The State Convention then, to
send delegates to st. Louis, if one is de-
cided upon, ought by ali means to be held
at Wheeling. She IS modest in her requests
about such fayors, and all she asks is that
the Democracy hold their convention now
and then in the good old Democratic
county of Ohio.
In this connection the REGISTER will be
glad to announce the views of the State
Democracy as to their preferences concern
ing the manner of selecting delegates to
the next National Convention.

WESTON, w. VA February GA sui
which is destined to be a sensational one,
was instituted before J. NJ. Raymond, q
justice of the peace, yesterday, against the
West Virginia Hospital for the Insane, fol
trover and conversion, by Messrs. J. II,
Hursoy, ]. NJ. Bennett, Jr., George Rains
burg aud John ClaybOrne, all of whom
have been recently discharged from the
Hospital, as attendants. Some time ago
nine of the attendants organized q band,
and at the time of the organization each
member contributed 81 80 for this purpose
aud received enough sfrom private in,
dividua's to purchase q full outfit q
horns and bass drum. The above young
men on their being discharged, for alleged
divers reasons, each demanded his horn,
which was refused,,by the Local Board which
claims the band was to revert to the State
on the dis-~orgsnization Of the same. The
case Is an interesting ore and creates gen,
eral talk. G.. NJ. Chichester and Geo. c.

LONG REACH, TYLER Co., W. VA,
February "a, 1888.
Your letter requesting my opinion
as TO the method of advertising the adyan-
tages of West Virginia so as to secure the
investment ~ofcapital within our State, enc,
is before me. 1t seems to me That the
best method to bring our wealth to the at
tention of those who would seek to develop
il, would be 10 make a complete COLLECTION
of samples of our mineral and forestry re-
sources and place them on exhibition at
some available point within the State
Let the collection be completely cata-
logued, giving its extent and location, the
probable route and cost of a railroad
to reach it, also the condition
of the climate and the productlveress Of
the soil, whether for grass, fruits or other
agricultural products. Let this exhiDl-
tlon ba made permanent, samples and
specimens being added continuously. In
this way, l think, in a few years, a com.
plete and reliable index to the wealth and
resources of the State could be made avail
able to all who desired il. This would
lead to INQUIRY, INVESTIGATION and the
TRUTH. To develop the State or secure
immigration we must have railroads. The
railroad must 90 before the immigrant, OF
rather the two must 20 together; the rail
road must not wait for some one to build
up the country first. The wealth is al
ready on the ground awaiting transporta-
ton. Furnish il the means and it will
flow into our Golfers as freely as La Belle

The capitalists know that a railroad in
West Virginia will pay aud that it viii! pay
immensely. West Yirginians are anxious
to furnish every facility and encourage
ment to honest railroad constructors, who
mean honest, earnest business, and will
lend a helping hand whenever practicable,
but do not want any wildcat, fraudulent,
thieving concerns, which prey upon the
people and confer on them no benefits.

ginia and will endeavor to be with you on

Arc stones Alive?

We generally think of minerals as
dead Jumps Of inactive matter. But
they may be said to be alive, creatures
of vital pulsatons, and separat ed into
individuals as distinct rs the pines in Il
forest or the tigers in jungle. The
disposition of crystal are AS diverse as
those of animals. They throb with
unseen currents Of energy. They grow
in size as long as they have an oppor-
tunity. They can be killed, to, though
not as easily as an oak or a dog A
strong electric shock discharged though
a crystal will decomposc it, very rapidly
if it is of soft structure, causing the par
ticles to gradually dlsintcsrate in the
reverse order from its growth, until the
poor thing lies dead shapeless ruin.
1t is true the crystals life is unlike
that Of higher creatures. But the Diff
ference between vegetable and animal!
life is no greater than that between
mineral and vegetable life. Lm@muS,

the three kingdoms by saying, Stones
grow plants grow and feel, animals
