VIM. L. WILSON'S FREE TRADE
SPEECH.

West Virginia's Representative
from this District made speech in
Congress on the Sd inst, which is
characterized as "one OF the finest
free trade speeches yet dellvered.n
The Pittsburg Commercial Gazette
says of it,:
cit should be noticed that most of
the authorities cited by him to prove
the excellence of free trade were
English. Mr.. Wilson did not differ
from other free-trade takers; with
them all the authorities are English.
Is IT not very near to what we call
gall to ask us to accept the economic
notions of foreigners who know
nothing of this country except what
they get from viewing it from the
window of a railroad car, or from a
few musty books, in preference to
the ideas that have been tested by
practice time and again in this conn.
try? 1t no more follows that the
economic policy which would be
good for England would be good
for the United States than that the
form of government in
Great Britain would be the best for
this country.

JEFFERSON AND THE "KICKERS
v: GET THERE.

The Second District Democratic
Congressional Convention was held
at Grafton on Tuesday. Jefferson
Co. and the anti.Camdenites came
off with flying coIors. There is no
mention of the Berkeley Democracy.
Hon. W. l.. Wilson, of Jefferson, was
the temporary chairman, and made
f1owery, pen-picture sketch OF
triumphant Democratic prosperity.
Hon. G. Wood Daily, of Mineral, a
right hand Lucas man, and strong
anti Camden member during the last
Legislature, was elected Chairman ;
Hon. w. nj. Clements, of Jefferson,
General Manager of the B. & O.,
was elected delegate-at-large; G. w.
Daily, District Delegate and Col.
r. p. Chew, of Jefferson, Alternate.
Jefferson now wants the JudgeshIp
and the Senatorship, leaving little
worth fighting for. If Mr.. Camden
wants to save his laurels he must see
that the Hon. Daniel B. doesn't car

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

The Republicans of Berkeley
meet in convention today to elect
delegates to the State and Congress
sional Conventions, which meet at
Fairinont, Wednesday, May 10th.
The State Convention will elect four
delegates and four alternates to the
Chicago Convention, and the Sec
ond District Congressional Conven.
ton two delegates and two alter
mates. According to the Blame vote
Berkeley is entitled to eighteen del.
egates in both conventions : two sets
of delegates or one set can repre-
sent the county in the conventions,
as the meeting today may see fit,
1t is not likely that a full delegation
can be present at this time of the
year, though a fair representation
would be desirable. If each of the
county districts were given five del
egates, and Martinsburg ten, il
would make the chances better for a
large delegation. We hope there
may be a good attendance to-day
and pleasant meeting.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

1t is suggested that it would be a
proper thing to select one of the del
egates to the Ma tional Convention
from the ranks of the colored voters
in the State. The suggestion seems
to us very good one. While we
do not believe in making racial ques-
tions prominent in political or eccles.
iastical circles, we do believe in re-.
moving all ground for the charge
that any race is Disseminated
against on such grounds. We believe
it would be a capital thing to elect
some prominent and capable colored
man, such a man, for instance, as
Prof. G. S. Jones, of Parkersburg.
as one of the delegates at large to
the National Convention. He was
one of the vice presidents of the Re-
publican State League Convention,
and is president of the "Knights Of
Protection" a Republican organiza-
ton, of Parkersburg.-Keyser Echo.

The time is coming when the
farming and laborlng classes will be
importuned to endorse this political
move or that, and support one aspir-
ant or another who will promise and
pledge anything and carry out moth
ing. 1t is the best plan for the
farmer and laborer to be as inde-
pendent as lawyers or other profess
sional men, and answer every politi-
cal move according to its kind. 1t
is the common people who bear the
blunt of all legislation and taxation,
and by their knowledge and exper-
fence from what they hear and see,
they should feel themselves as COM
petent to judge for themselves as
the next; and as much entitled to
the exercise of their will as any pol.
itical leader. They feel the effects
of political action, and "change T"
seemeth good unto them. 1t can't
be worse.

MOUNT CARMAL, Pa, May 6.-Be.
tween ten and eleven o'clock last
night. a terrible accident occurred on
the Philadelphia and Reading Rail
road between this place and Locust
Gap. Freight train No 81, consist
ing of seventy-five cars bound for
Williamsport, became disconnected
by the breaking of a coupling, and
the engine and three cars ran half a

the train was divided. The first
section awaited the arrival of the
second at the foot of heavy grade,
and the two brakemen losing con.
troll of the second section, it dashed
into the first section, causing an ex-
plosion in the third car, which was
loaded with Dupont powder. At
the scene OF the accident, the rail
road runs along a steep hill, at the
bottom of which stood two rows of
houses, occupied by the Philadelphia

FLoWERY SPEECHES POOR FARE
FORE A DESERVING C0NSTITU-

That Congressman's time ana
ability are best spent who accom-
plishes most for the material inter
ests of the people whom he repre-
sents. What do study and polish
and high social qualities amount to
when no permanent and beneficial
work is performed, or when the
claims and wants of the common
people, confidently entrusted 20
higher hands, are willfully and care
lessly neglected; and the time and
attention paid for by the people. are
given to self-improvemeDt and en-
joyment socially, and to the gaining
of personal popularity.
Hon. w. L. Wilson, of this con-
gressional district, has acted as
Congressman going on several
terms,-not on his merits, not on
his record or political principles
but on the working of large party
majority. He may be a classic
scholar,-a shining social light;- he
may have done good party work
and served his administration well,
but if he has accomplished any
thing for the material interests OF
his district or his commOner cOnsti-
tuency, we have not seen the evil
dence or the authority. For labor,
and agriculture, and the ordinary
pursuits of life, he has not the time
nor the gift to give to the study OF
their situation or their wants; but
to polish himself up classically, TO
win favor in high court and social
circles, and to stand well with the
leaders of politics and aristocracy,-
too much one class in official circles,
he has the faculties OF making
himself eminently successful. As a
representative at the high courts OF
England he would be more in his
element, and it would be more to
his hand and heart, than to act for
the yeomen of a plain, honest, mat
ter of fact land not of fancy West
Virginia community.
Mr.. Wilson has attracted marked
attention in administration circles
and Office holding dependencies by
his flowery free trade speeches in
Congress, and we'll re.hearsed and
modified for political meetings and
conventions in the country districts
but we dare say there are men who
have helped to elevate him who
have reason to feel that he has paid
mighty little attention to their in
terests. The contrast between the
tree and its fruits is greater when
compared with the Mason, Flick and
Protection vote in largely Demo
cratic district. 1t is food for reflec-
tion for the laborer, the farmer and
tax payers in general,-the bitter
food of experience while to the pol
itical leaders and the spoilsmen it
may be savory dish. The inter-
ests of this DISCREET long ago de-
manded, and now cry out with great
er force and reason, for another and
better representative of the people
in Congress-.

That Tired FEELING

Season is here again, and nearly every
one feels weak, languid. and exhausted.
The blood, laden with impurities which
have been accommodating for months,
moves sluggishly through the veins the
mind fails to think quickly and the bodyis
still slower to respond. Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla is just what is needed. 1t is, in a
peculiar sense, the ideal spring medi-
cine. 1t purifes, vitalizes, and enriches
the blood, makes the head clear, creates
an appetite, overcomes that tired feeling,
and imparts new strength and vigof to
the whole body.
