Biblical History
AS Applied to the Political
Situation in w. Virginia.

Last Saturdays Gin Com. Gazette.
In the book of Joshua is recorded
the history of how tedious and diff
cult a struggle it was for the ch,l-
dren of Israel 10 obtain the LAND
of promise" For years and cars
they had labored and toilcd in order
to obtain Canaan, the land thai
flowed with milk and honey. AT
ter haying captured Jericho, some
of them thought that they were now
entitled to the possession of the lIo-
ly Land, but alas, their struggles
were by no means ended. Sacred
history records defeat at Al short
ly after the walls of Jericho fell. By
faith they at last obtained complete
possession, and the book OF Joshua
says that at last the war was over
and the land divided, but there was
$ long delay, after the conquest be
fore all the tribes took possession
Of their inheritance. We are told
that north of Judea, Benjamin was
on the west and the tribes of Lew
on the east, and that this fact fired
them with new heat and determine
ton, and they finally obtained com
plete possession.
History is repeating itself, and at
this very moment is recorded like
condition in West Virginia, po!it-
ically speaking. The Republican
party have been promised the State
Of West Virginia, and by their faith
the walls of Democracy have
fallen; but they arc told they can't
have complete possession, and the
official returns are being doctorcd
so as to cheat them out Of il. But,
bless you, the tribe Of Benjamin
Harrison is on the west and the
tribe Of Levi (Morton) is on the
east, and no power on earth can
take from them what rightfully and
honestly belongs to them. AS sure
as two and two make four, so sure
Is General Nathan Golf, the Joshua
Of the Republican party in the
South, the Governor elect.

be carried out. The fact that Mir. King. who
has the warm friendship of Mcssrs. Gar

been actively consulting leading capitalists
in New Nork. Boston and Philadelphia first

change.

Valley railroad has been received by the
superintendent of tho Mahoning division.

high Valley gravel train on that division at
$3.50 Tuesday morning. killing six persons

everything possible for the injured.
