ANOTHER LIE ENABLED.

The Democratic campaign lies this year are
 easily and early "nailed." The latest, and in
 some respects the worst, met its fate yester-
 day. It was all about ''the colonization of
 Republican voters in West Virginia" It re-
 lated that Stephen B. Elkins had colonized
 five thousand negroes from southern Demo-
 cratic States along the line of the West Vir-
 ginia Central and Pittsburg railroad and that
 they would all be forced to vote the Republi-
 can ticket in November.
 MT. Elkins has been heard from and in 8
 very effective way. He points out that the
 West Virginia Central and Pittsburg railroad
 is largely owned, controlled and managed by
 Democrats. It's president, who has entire
 management of its affairs, is q Democrat; its
 superintendent of construction, who has
 charge of the employment of hands in build
 ing the line, is MT. William E. Porter of Port
 Deposit, Maryland, 8 lifelong Democrat;
 seven of the nine directors are Democrats,
 among whom are ex-Senator William H. Bar
 mum, chairman of the national Democratic
 committee; ex-Senator J. M. Camden, mem- Der of the national Democratic committee for West Virginia; ex-Senator n. G. Davis of " CSs VA4SAAAoS w AAAA@AA AAs ~tOA4AAo1s OAOeAcA of Senator A. P. German, ex-Senator William Pinkney White of Maryland. A. P. German was for six years director and is alss Q large stockhelder in the company. MT. Elkins thinks it would be impossible to use the funds of the company to import and employ five thousand negroes or any other number to vote the Republican ticket in West Vir- ginia next November. And he adds: Every negro and other man employed in building ! the rood has been employed by Democrats. I know through the president of the company that there are not to-day 250 negroes working on the line of the road in the service of the company and not one of this number can vote in November because under the law of State a residence of one year is required, none of them having been in the State that long. It is not expected that one of these negores will be in the service of the State in Noyem- Der, as the work of construction will practi- \ cally cease before thee Every officer and director of the company will confirm what have just said and no respectable. Democrat
 in West Virginia or elsewhere will deny these facts.
 That lie is pretty effectually squelched. II was a very foolish one. The Democratic party can easily hire wiser liars than those who in- k vented that lie.

 The wine cellars of California are said to be full of the product of past vintages, and there is no room for more. Vine planting has been going on at great rate, but the manufacture of wines which will compete with those produced in Europe has not kept pace with the growth of grapes. The wine producers are talking now of means to make the American people drink wine, instead of beer. The drinking of beer in this country has been an acquired habit, but it has in- creased very rapidly. Up to 1850, Ameri- cans drank only one and a half gallons per capita of that beverage, but in 1887 the con- sumption had swollen to twelve gallons per capita. Meanwhile the consumption of spir- it's has fallen off one-half in the same period, the lighter drink driving out the stronger. The Californians claim that the light wines of their State ought now to drive out the beer.
 The recent celebration of the Tooth birth- day of Colonel Perkins of Norwich and the news of his death have called out some inter esting facts concerning other very old people.
