The Money Arrived safely.

In our issue of last week we no.
ticed that Mrs. Peter Hoke of this
place had drawn $4,000 in the
Louisiana State Lottery, and since
then have had inquiries made re-
garding the same, in answer to
which we give the following: About
two weeks or SO before the drawing
MIR. Hoke sent one dollar to the
Lottery Company by Express, for
a one-tenth ticket in the May draw
ing, and in the course of ten days,
received the same, (TicketiNo. 81
492).e Several days after the draw
ing, she learned through a Wash
ington newspaper, that ticket No.
81 1872 had drawn the Second Capt.
tai Prize of $50, 600, and immediate-
ly telegraphed to Mr.. M. A.. Dau-
phin, the President of the Company
at Now Orleans, and received a
reply the next day that the same
was correct, whereupon the ticket
was sent Immediately to the COM
pany by express Just seven days
after the ticket was sent away, the
Express agent at this place left a
letter at Mrs. Hoke's containing a
draft on Now York Bank for the
amount, $4,000 which was in full
without any discount OF percentage
off The draft was Immediately
placed in Bank where it was con-
sidered as good as the ready cash.
In an interview with reporter of
this paper Mr.. Hoke said that he
had bought tickets in the Lottery
several times before, he thought
about six or seven, and always had
them sent to his wife. Also that
the money had come in very nicely
to them, as they w ere little in
debt which they were enabled to
release at once and have a handsome
sum left. He has no doubt that the
drawings are fairly and impartially
made. This is the second time that
$4,000 has come to this place from
the lottery, the other one having
been drawn about six years ago.
Mr.. Hoke is a highly respectable
citizen of this place and has been
engaged for years in the grocery
business nn.itts6urg Md C1sron-

The Centennial Exposition.

The preliminary work of the
Board of Commissioners of the Cen
tennial Exposition of the Ohio Val
ley and Central States, to be held
at Cincinnati, is completed, and the
palatial edifices erected for this pur-
pose are ready for occupancy. The
Board of Commissioners is composed
of an Executive Committee. Cincin-
natians, and an Honorary Commit
tee, as auxiliary, made up of repre-
sentatives from eleven different
States, the Governor of each State
being the Chairman of his respect
i've Committee. Such has been the
efficiency of this Board, that through
their interest and energy the prox-
unity of the day of opening finds
everything in readiness for the oc-
casion-no vexatious delays, no con
fusion, no complaints. This is in
deed an anspicfous beginning; and
the indications point to most sue
cessful season of festivities. to be
ushered in by the becoming exer-
cises of the great Day of Indepen=
dence.

West Virginia is Democratic
State, and SO conceded by all Re-
publicans, and they will make nc
fight for the State ticket. They
will, however compliment few
ambitious idiots with nominations
for the various State offices, and
that will be all there will be to it.
But there is a well-grounded sus-
picion that they will make great
effort to capture the Legislature
and to this the Democrats must
give some attention. There is nc
real danger of such calamity, but
being forewarned we should be fore
armed. Any possibility of danger
in this direction will be obviated
right in the beginning by placing
on the ticket for the Legislature
only such men as command the re.
spect of their fellow citizens, and
whose integrity cannot be question.

Democrats, we want to keep it in
your mind all the time, that the
fight in this State this year is on
the Legislature. The Republicans
have turned their whole attention
to capturing the Legislature, to gain
a Republican United States Senator
from West Virginia. While we have
no idea that they can capture the
Legislature, yet it is well enough to
watch them. The Democratic can
didates for House of Delegates from
this county are both good men.
One, Mr.. Dabney, is a farmer; the
other, Mr.. Whaley, is a mechanic.
They understand the wants of the
people, and if elected will vote for a
Democrat for q. S. Senator. What
we want to impress upon the minds
of every Democrat, is, don't trade
votes. If you do you will be caught
in a trap.

One of the most feeling and effec-
tive tributes ever paid to President
Cleveland was that uttered year
ago by Allen G. Thurman in a
speech during the Ohio canvass.
This is what our nominee for Vice
President then said about the Presi-
dent now about to be reelected:
"But there is one man L want to
speak about, because / know him
right well, and that man is Grover
Cleveland, President of the United
States. Now, my friends, l have
seen good many Presidents in my
long life. / have known several of
them personally, and / have read
the history of the administrations
of them all. 1 have seen and /
knOw-and 1 think I know him full
well-GrOver Cleveland, our Presi-
dent of the United States, and on
my honor as a man who is bound to
tell you the truth, if ever a man
was bound to tell the truth to his
fellow-men, 1 don't believe that a
more honest, drawer, truer man ever
filed the Presidential chair of the
United States.
When that speech was made Sen
ator Thurman little thought that
he would be Cleveland's companion
on the next Presidential ticket.

The American Protective Tariff
League is obtaining subscriptions
to its funds from the benefciaries
of the existing high tariff, the sum
called for from each subscriber
being 500. Trusts and other such
combines are contributing most lib
orally, The fund already raised is
considerable, and il is expected to
exceed a million dollars before the
election occurs. The ostensible pur-
pose of the League is to print and
distribute protection literature, but
it is expected to go into practical
politics also. 1t Will be recalled
how Mr. Vim. r. Morrison, of Illi-
nois was defeated for congress by a
stealthy movement led by Mr.. Jar
rett two years ago and how Mr..
Carlisle was similarly plotted
against. The Democrats have this,
of course to expect. 1t is for them
to organize also and to circulate
instructive low tax literature among
the people. The truth is mighty
aud will prevail if it is given a
chance.

Says the Pittsburgh Dispatch, a
Republican paper: 4Fori a quarter
of a century we have maintained
the highest tariff in the world on the
pretense that it nourisehd our indus
tries and kept up the wages of labor.
Under that tariff we had tho worst
panics and the severest industrial
and business prostrations that ever
afflicted this country. Who has
forgotten how this tariff failed to
feed the homeless and starving
tramps who swarmed upon all
highways of the land for years after
the crash of 1872 Yet now, when
Mr.. John Gustisvasety is adver-
Using in the Eastern papers for
work for 300 of his Italian fellow
countrymen at go cents day, the
average paid in Pennsylvania pro-
tected ore beds, we are told that
any interference with the trust
subsidies and monopoly extortions
guaranteed by our tariff will re-
duce the wages to the pauper basis

NJ. A. KeIIy,s Thirty Thousand
Dollars.

Much interest has been shown in
various ways in the tax receiver OF
Pittston, Mr.. NJ. A. KeIley's fortu-
nate investments and it has been
deemed of public interest to find
out what he thinks aboutit. Learn
ing that Mr.. Kelley had received
$4,000 through the Miners Saving
Bank, reporter interviewed him.
He said he simply bought one-tifth
of ticket No. 55,315 which drew the
Capital Prize of s15O,0OO in the
May Drawing of the Louisiana
State Lottery, for which he paid

margin on stock, and he was sur
prised to learn that there were men
in town who knew the value of the
ticket week before he was advised.

platform:
"We congratulate the country
that the Republicans have commit
ted themselves sqnarely upon the

ought to be and will now be made.
They are for high taxes, andp for
wasteful and jobbing expenditures

"The Democrats offer against
this, low taxes, economical admin
istration and no surplus.

judge for themselves. Those who
like high taxes and jobbing will
vote the Republican ticket. This
is a free country and every man
takes his choice.

accepting the Mills bill-just such
blunder as the shareholders. made
