WORRIED ABOUT THE SURPLUS.

General Harrison, the Republican
candidate for President, seems to be
very much exercised about the sur
plus of S135, 900, 900 in the United States
Treasury, and does not like the poll
CIV of the Democratic administration
as to the manner of its disbursement
General Harrison wants the govern
ment to buy up its bonds with this un-
needed money. This sounds very
plausible and simple. But owing to
the financiering of the Republicans in
issuing these bonds, this would be u
very expensive practice. These bonds
were so constructed by the Republi-
can administration that issued them
that most of them cannot be called in
for many years. Consequently, if the
government buys them now 1T VIII
have to give whatever premium the
bondholders ask The Vanderbilts
own fifty millions of these bonds. III
the government is to buy them 1t
would probably have to pay $40 for
every 500 worth of the bonds. Does
any one think this is good tinancier-
ing? The Secretary of the Treasury
is now doing the best he can, and is
taking up all the bonds he can get at
a moderate premium. But he refuses
to give any eXorbitant sum for them,
and in this he is backed up by the
President.
Suppose our Jefferson county com
missioners would levy tax on the
people that would each year yield,
over and above all the necessary eX-
penses of our county affairs, the sum
of $4,000.
Wouldn't the people kick?
Would they submit to being taxed
to death in order to have an immense
surplus in the county treasury, or to
buy up our bonds at $3.50.
We don't think they would like this
sort of thing in county affairs-even
the Republicans wouldn't like it.
Well, that's just the way the thing
works in our national affairs. True,
the sheriff and the assessor don't come
around after you, but you pay that
tax every time you use salt, or sugar,
or rice, or medicines, or tools, or tin
ware, or chinaware, or glass, or cloth
ing, or hats, or shoes, or Bibles-in
fact it is collected from you on almost
everything you buy.
And what is this for?
1t is to protect the rich monOpo-
list, to keep a heavy surplus in the
Treasury, or to buy bonds from the
wealthy at an enormous premium.

Log Cabin Success.
What ails the Young man?

What ails the young man?
Robert CARROTS father left him a
fortune of twenty millions. He was
from childhood reared in luxury; he
received splendid education with an
especial training into a thorough
knowledge of railroad management
and was expected to succeed his father
as railroad king.
Within three years after the respon-
sibilities which his fathers death
threw upon him were assumed, he Is
reported broken down man, with
mind and health permanently shatter-
ed
George Law is another young man
left with millions of money, who is re-
ported among the wrecks" His
father. bred a stone mason. was OF
gigantic size and strength, with com
mensurate brain power, so he became
a great contractor, then a railroad
king and left half dozen millions for
his son to dissipate. The young man
is a success as dissipator.
The founders of both of these great
estates were born in the most humble
walks of life, grew strong, mentally
and physically, by simple living ana
honest labor and developed into imam
cial giants. Their sons were reared
in the lap of luxury and develop into
intellectual pigmies.
The great men of our country have
not, as a rule, come from the elegant
mansions of the cities, but from the
Log Cabins of the rural districts.
Simple ways of living, freedom from
dissipationand enervating, pleasures,
simple remedies for disease, effective
and which leaves no poison In the
system, develop brawny, brainy men,
who compel the world to recognize
their strength and power.
The wholesome, old-fashioned Log
Cabin remedies are the safest and
surest for family use. Our grand
mothers knew how to prepare the
teas and syrups of roots, herbs and
balsams which drives disease out OF
the system by natural methods and
leave no after ill effects. The most
potent of these old-time remedies
were, after long and searching inves-
tigation, secured by II. h. Warner OF
safe cure fame, and are now put out
for the healing of the nations in the
Warmers Log Cabin remedies.
Regulate the regulator with War
ners Log Cabin sdrsaparilla and with
pure blood giving health, strength,
mental and bodily vigor, you may
hope TO cope successfully with the
most gigantic financial problems of
the age, without wrecking health and
manhood.

Gave His Wife Snake in Her Coffee.

Louis HILL q colored fugitive from
Union county, Miss, was arrested near
Memphis, Saturday, by the sheriff of
Union county, who came upon him
accidentally. Five years ago Hill re-
solved to get rid of his wife, in order
to wed a dusky belle who had enslay-
ed him. He consulted a voodoo priest
ess, who told him TO extract the poi
son from moccasin snake, and ad
minister it to his wife in the seventh
hour of the seventh day following
He succeeded in capturing moccasln,
put the reptile was so vicious that he
was afraid to make the extraction of
its poison bag. He therefore cut off
its head and boiled it in the coffee,
which his wife drank at breakfast.
She was Immediately taken ill, and
for week fingered between life and
death, but finally recovered. The
snakes head was found among the
coffee grounds, which Hill had thrown
beside his cabin, and he was arrested
and indicted for an attempt at muir
der. With the aid of another prisoner
he made his escape, and came to the
neighborhood of Memphis, where he
has been ever since.

Congressman w. L. Wilson.

The people of New York State look
to the voters of the Second West Nlr-
GINA district to re-elect to Congress
Hon. William L. Wilson. Heis ayoung
man whose ability has attracted the
attention of the whole country, and
has commanded the applause even of
his political opponents in the State OF
New York. 1t is perfectly evident
that the future must have high honors
in store for Mr. Wilson, and that in
re-electing him the people of the Sec
ond West Virginia district not only
honor him, but secure to public life a
gentleman who will reflect honor upon
them. With the exception of Mr..
Mills, there is no speaker whose pres
ence, to-day, in this State would be
more welcome and have more effect
for the Democratic cause than Mr..
Wilson's. New York would be proud
to number him among her represen-
tatives in Congress. West Virginia,
we hope, has no less pride in such a
man-Albany Argus.

At the McMurray canning factory
in Frederick, Md, the other day, Thos.
Gross, a colored boy, playfully threw
a rope around the neck of Samuel
Thomas, aged Is, also colored, and
then drew the end of the rope over a
shaft, which was not in operation. He
had hardly done so before the ma
chine started, and Thomas was drawn
up and swung violently around the
rod three or four times, when the rope
broke and he fell to the ground Blood
gushed from his mouth and nostrils,
and he was picked up for dead. He
fingered until the next day, though,
when he expired. The other boy was
arrested. The lads were playing lasso,
after Buffalo Bills style.

OUR belated contempory, the Har-

ges to keep about three weeks behind
time in its politics. 1t is still publish
ing that exploded campaign lie that
credited President Cleveland with
saying that he believing in free trade
as he believed in religion, although
the President put his quietus on the
yarn some time ago. 1t likewise
comments on the figures from the
Maine election as they were first given
out by truthful James Blaine and his
colleagues, Notwithstanding that Off
cial figures gave quite different as
pect. We acknowledge that we were
fooled at first, but it didn't take us
long to correct the figures. The Senti-
mel, however, has not yet caught up.
To the Martinsburg Herald: Aren't
you hard up for campaign material
when YOU state that the Mills bill puts
coal on the free list, thus seeking to
influence West Virginia voters against
Mr.. Wilson, by accusing him of hav-
ing voted to put it on that list? We
hope your readers are better informed
than you are on the tariff. The chill
dren down this way know that the
tariff on coal is not taken off by the
Mills bill or any other bill. They also
would know that the Heralds state
ment that 1.-The Mills bill increased the
tariff on rice and sugar nearly 100 pei
cent" is the silliest and most palpable
Of campaign lies. The truth is thai
the Mills bill reduced the tariff on sug
ars from 80 per cent. to &c per cent
and on rice from 113 to 100 per cent.

Caught up through the golden portals.

Gone from us forever,
Her care on earth Is DER.
Though lonely at eve we listen,
She answers our call no more.

It's flight through the clear blue sky.
Where sorrow can never enter,
And pleasure can never die.
There we shall find our mother,
Not in the silent tomb,
Not in a broken casket,
But clothed in immortal bloom.
