JUDGE FLEMING TALKs.

Gen. COTS astonishing bluff in
Tuesdays Iutelligencer, claiming his
election, in his usual style, before the
complete returns have been received
and his defiant announcement. that he
intended to contest the matter "before
all suitable tribunals" has called forth
a card from Judge Fleming which we
present below. Judge Fleming is not
only willing but anxious TO contest
this election before '.all suitable tribu-
nails" and whether he is elected on the
face Of the returns or not, and we
firmly believe he is, he will contest the
vote in those counties where there was
palpabie fraud against the purity of the
ballot. The ballot box Judge Elem
ing recognizes as the foundation of our
liberties, and the preservation Of its
purity is Of infinitely more Importance
to the people of West Virginia than
the question, who shall be Governor.

Az associated press dispatch, dated
Pittsburgh, Nov. 16, tells us that "the
coal operators have called a meeting
for next Tuesday to consider the advi-
stability of restricting the production
by shutting down all of tho coal mines
along the Monongahela river. The
suspension will throw 6,O00 men out
Of employment"
This means that they are to form a
coal trust, which the Republican party
guarantees to them under 1.-THE broad
shield of American law" But what
is to become of the poor la~boringmen
whom the Republicans promised so
much protection during the late la
lamented campaign.

For Preston county this has been a
prosperous year. The crops of grain
and hay have proved a fair average, and
fruit and root crops are very large, and
the quality good. The fields have sup
piled an abundant postorage for stock
of all kinds, and cattle, sheep and
young horses have grown well and
those intended for wintering are in fine
condition for feeding. The stock grower
has made large profits, much above the
average, for the extreme dizziness in the
cattle market last season enabled him
to buy his supply for wintering and
grazing at very low prices, and the
slight advance in prices for this season
over last puts many dollars into his
pocket. Not only have the farmers
and stock growers prospered, but the
merchants have in general, made large
sales, at fair prices and have made close
collections, and the probability is that
that the Indebtedness to merchants has
not greatly increased during the year.
The prices for timber and its various
products have been well maintained,
and the saw-mill operators have manu-
featured and shipped largely, and can
count good profits in ready cash, with
an occasional exception. Large ship
ments of tan-bark were made at fair
prices, so of poultry, eggs and butter.
Wages have been maintained. for
laborers as well as mechanics, and no
man has eaten the bread of idleness, if
in health, because he could not obtain
employment Ezra.
And all along you have been preach
ing that Cleveland's administration has
been a failure, and that he has done
nothing but "veto pension bills" Now
you add a high testimonial to the eff
cheney and success of the Cleveland
administration.

ness, if in health, because he could not

PRESTON county is sufficiently Re-
publican to make her boom from now
until eternity, but for some unexplain-
able reason Preston county does not
abound in enterprises to any alarming
extent. Why is this? If Republi-
canism insures prosperity. this county
should be one of the wealthiest coun-
ties in the State.
About the only thing Preston can
boast of is her immense Republican
majority and high taxes.

When They Leave Us,

The exodus of our bodily troubles is
doubly welcome if their departure is un-
accompanied by pain. 1t is the fault of
the best of eommendable cathartics.
which act solely upon the bowels, that in
operating they gripe and weaken these
organs. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
produce laxative effect, but neither
cause pain nor weaken the abdominal
region or the stomach. This is pres
eminently the Alternative which a con-
situated, bilious or dyspeptic person
should use, since resort to it involves
no bodily discomfort nor prduces a
violent reaction The liver is aroused,
the stomach benefited, ana the habit OF
body speedily and permanently improved
by it. Fever and ague, rheumatism and
kidney troubles are among the maladies
Tor which recorded experience has proved
it to be efficacious. 1t is wholesome
appetizer, and far more reliable tran
quilliZpr of the nerves than stomach
disturbing narcotics and sedatives.

peCted to cross the Mississippi from July

9TH to eth and 11th to 18th. These
storms are all calculated to move in this
longitude, along the 4Oth parallel except
that of July 31st, which is expected to be
Il southern storm followed by cool
wave. These storms may not develop
tornadOes, but we are inclined to believe
they will. We particularly call attention
to those storms calculated for near july
26 and August 6 1t may save some one
trouble and loss by especially keeping
these two dates in mind, although nc
very dangerous storms are expected till

Steamers plying on the upper Missis-
sippi are having considerable difficulty in
obtaining deck hands. One of the causes.
and probably the chief one, is the low
wages that are paid. The boats in the
trade between St. Louis and Keokuk pay
their deck hands S25 per month and their
board, while the boats between St. Louis
and st. Paul are paying S35 per month
AS there is an unusual rush Of business
on the river south of st. Louis, the boats
doing business down there are hiring all
the men they can get at $40 per month,
hence the scarcity of men in the up river
trade. Harvest is also going on in Mis-.
souri,, Illinois and OHIO, which adds tc
the scarcity of men. 1t seems that boats
on the upper river could afford to pay as
much wages to the men as on the lower
river, in which event there would be nc
reason for the scarcity of men all the
year round.
