in the Resurrection Life -? etc.
The author bases his argument
on the Scriptures throughout;
and unfolds his conclusions in
the luminous light of the in
spired Record. Incidentally he
shows the impotence of much
of the speculation and philoso-
ply entertained at the present
day. The book has grown out
of DR.. Quinby's work as an ed
itor in answering in the columns
of his newspaper the questions
of correspondents anxious to
learn the views of Universalists
on the subject of the Resurrec-
ton Life. Written in a clear,
direct and familiar style, it
meets very general want. and
will build up its readers in the
faith and hope of the New Tes-
lament.

ing beauties. Its whole setting
is as of precious stones. Like a
Madonna of Raphael, the more
you study it the more you are
enraptured by it. AS it is ex-
amined, the most gifted orator
is before you. You seem to
hear anew his deep-toned and
wonderfully euphonic voice.
You feel again his rapturous
enthusiasm and overpowering
emotion. You catch new scin-
tillations of beauty dropping
from great soul. His humane
spirit sets your heart aglow

PROHIBITION.

Reprinted from our issue of Feb. IL, 1887.
The proposed Amendment to our
State Constitution will prohibit the
MANUFACTURES and sale of intoxicants
in this State. To prohibit the man.
ufacture here, while it is permitted
in the adjoining States, would sim
ply transfer our distilleries and
breweries to Maryland, Virginia and
Ohio without diminishing in the
slightest degree the consumption Of
liquor. We have in this State, per-
haps, 81, 100000 invested in brewe-
ries and distilleries; if this amend
ment be adopted, that much capital
will be destroyed as effectually as if
the torch of an incendiary was APP
piled to the buildings. The trouble
with West Virginia is, that We have
so few manufacturing enterprises
and, if it be announced that this
State is under control of fanatics, it
will be impossible to induce capital
to come here and make its home.
We are in favor Of every intelligent
measure calculated to diminish the
use of intoxicants but we are oppos-
ed to legislation that destroys prop
erty without compensation and with
cut the slightest benefit to the pub
lie. 1t will not diminish the use Of
beer to remove the Wheeling brew
cries across the river into Ohio. All
the whiskey manufactured in Mar
tinsburg is shipped to Philadelphia
FOR sale and. it is practically impos-
sible, as we understand, to purchase
direct from the distillery. Some of
the gentlemen who are very earnest
for this prohibition amendment are

The DEMOCRAT is doing all in its pow
er TO create sentiment among the far
mers against Mr.. ChaS. II. Knott. Mr.
Knott, however, is perfectly satisfactory
to the Changers and the farmers gener-
ally, and thew are indorsing his eandi-
dacy irrespective of party. Mr., Knott
will represent this district with ability
and honesty and earneStness. and the
voters who will elect him in November
know it.-SheP. Register.
The sentiment against Mr.. Knott
is due solely to the fact that he
stands as the representative Of the
Railroad Lobby. II he intended to
vote right he would answer the
questions printed elsewhere. Does
any one pre,end that Changers want
a candidate who favors the free pass
bribery To say that Mr.. Knott ais
perfectly satisfactory to the Gran
gers" is sheer nonsense. The Reg
ister can't be so ignorant as to be-
lieve what it says,
We have no personal quarrel with
Knott. On the contrary, we have
always felt and now feel very kindly
towards him. We oppose his cleo
tion because, unless he changes his
position, he will do exactly what
this people don't want done.
These questions were put to him
Immediately after the primaries, and
why does he refuse to answer? Am
to vote for a man who tells me he
will do exactly what 1 don't want
done? Would he have been nomi-
mated il these questions had been
asked before the primary was held?
Are We to elect a man who obtained
his nomination by false pretenses ?
If we vote for n man knowing that
he will misrepresent us, the fault is
ours, not his.

"Nasal Voices, catarrh and False
Teeth"

..
Appointment English woman says
the American women all have high,
shrill, nasal voices and false teeth.
Americans don't like the constant
twitting they get about this nasal
twang, and yet it is fact caused by
our dry stimulating atmosphere, and
the universal presence of catarrhal
difficulties.
But why should so many OF our
women have false teeth ? 9
|. That is more ofap TO the En-
glish. It is quite impossible TO ac-
count for it except on the theory OF
deranged stomach action caused by
impudence in eating and by want OF
regular exercise.
Both conditions and unnatural.
Catarrhal troubles everywherepre-
vail and end in cough Ond consump.
ton, which are promoted by NAL
nutrition induced by deranged stom-
ach action. The condition is a mod
ern one, one unknown to our ances-
tors who, prevented the catarrh, cold,
cough and consumption, by abun-
dant and regular use of what is now
known as Warmers Log Cabilfcongh
and consumption remedy and Log
Cabin sarsaparilla, two old fashion
ell standard remedies handed down
from our ancestors, and now exclu-
sively put forth under the strongest
guarantees of purity and efficacy by
the world famed makers Of Warmers
safe cure. These two remedies plen
tifnlly used as the fall anal winter
seasons advance, together with an
occasional use of Warmers Log Ca
bin rose cream, strengthen and pro-
tect the nasal membranes, give pos
tive assurance of freedom, both from
catarrh and those dreadful and If
neglected, inevitable consequences,
pneumonia, lung troubles and con-
sumption, which SO generally and
fatally prevail among our people.

Of course we do not like to have
our women called nose takers and
false teeth owners, but these condi
tions can be readily overcome in the
manner indicated.

RINGS IN BOTH PARTlES.--PIRA
CAPITAL.

NV approx Of the course Of the
DEMOCRAT is so great that / desire
to testify my appreciation. 1t is on
the right track / feel it q privilege
to signify my appreciation of its
course because in these degenerate
days it is rare to find paper hav-
ing ability that has the courage alse
ia attack wrong and hypocrisy even
in the opposite party. much less in
it's own party. Lam keenly alive to
the fact that there is also ring in
my own party equally to be condemn
ed as the one II yours. 1t has not
been so thoroughly or boldly devcl-
oped, but when it does develop. as
it will in the near future. propose
to take up the cudgel and expose 1t
as you have done the ring in your
party.
The only hope for our State is for
the good men in both parties. with
out. sacrificing their principles, to
combine in one common purpose to
down these rings and thwart the COZ
rupt purposes of the money power.
While / understand fully the bene
fits to be derived from capital organ
lied for legitimate ends, and l even
90 so far as to say that Trusts can
be useful, yet at the same time /
realize with you, that they are man
aged at present for oppressive and
tyrannical objects and are obliterat-
ing the manhood of all connected
with them, whether their dupcs or
their emissaries. In truth we are
entering upon an aye of commercial
feudalism and no power can arrest
it except the Burgher class, as in
the feudal ages. l do not wish to
prevent capital from organizing to
carry out great undertakings, but 1
will do all can to prevent il from
subverting ourliberties and our man
hood by brutal and revengeful me-
discrity. Probably no State in the
Union needs capital more than West
Virginia and i doubt whether any
State has suffered as much from
what you aptly call Pirate capital.
My observation leads Inc to believe
that were it not for the low cunning
and the degraded instruments Pirate
capital have been using here, our
State would now be the most pros
perons one in the Union. 1t seems
a prerequisite to success IN West
Virginia, in business or in politics,
for enc to give up his manhood.

The refusal to appoint joint dis
cussiOns between GOaf and Fleming
was the greatest blunder yet com
mitted. Fleming knows as much as
Goff about State affairs, and while
less Of "a spread-eagle," his speeches
will have greater weight with think
ing men. The body Of the people
want Joint discussions, because when
rival candidates meet on the hust-
ings they force each other to deal
with questions on which our politi-
clans are keeping very quiet; for
example, the questions Mr.. Knott
will not answer, BY all means let
us have joint discussions.

we are in favor of that system which
works well elsewhere, and which has
SO educated public opinion in this
State that in forty fear counties
there isa majOrity opposed TO pay
ing saloons. e
But very different proposition Is
now before. the people Of West Vir-
ginia. tits proposed that outside
and distant voters shall decide q
question which each community
ought to decide for itself. We pre-
fer 10 manage our local affairs for
ourselves. We are in favor Of home
rule. We advocate that system
which has produced such happy re
suits in Atlanta. Prohibition is the
exact converse of local option. 1t
is the converse. of home rule. 1t is
a proposition, that outside interfer,
ence shall compel town To attempt
to close its barrooms bef"ie local
public sentiment is ripe for doing
so. The question is, shall we adopt
a system that is based upon the idea
that one county may regulate the
purely local affairs OF another coun-
ty Richie county, for example,
has voted, by a large majority,
against having barrooms. Is Ritch-
lie willing that Jefferson shall com
pei her to grant license? Brooke
has voted against having saloons.
Is Brooke willing for the license
counties to determine whether bar
rooms shall DC opened in Wells
burg?
When this matter comes To- be un'
derstosd, il will be found that all
temperance men, whose judgement
is not clouded by unreasoning zeal.
will stand with the DEMOCRAT on
this question. We do know by do
ing so they will best promote the
cause of temperance.

Our issue for Feb. IL, 1887, gave
the editorial on prohibition printed
elsewhere. The place hunters Of
both parties are now lodging this
issue, and the air is filled with the
wild theories of fanatics and enthu-
siasts which are subversive of Re-
publican institutions. Under the
circumstances, we cannot render q
better service to the State than to
republish our writings on this sub
iect. 1t seems to US that every
thinking man should do what he
can to check a spirit Of intolerance
and mistaken zeal which is doing
more harm to the cause of temper
ance than all the bar rooms in
America. We intend to give our
columns to this issue.

TO EXTEND SESSION OF LEGIS-
LATURE.


Our Constitution limits a session
Of the Legislature to forty five days
and the session may becxtended By
a vote of two-thirds. An amend
ment is now pending to add fifteen
days and to fix the length, of the
session at so days. Shall we vote
for this amendment 2
The trouble is Legislature is
composed largely of men who never
had occasion to inform themselves
respecting any of the questions to
be acted upon. For example, when
q bill is introduced, unless there be
some private interest behind it; un-
less it be a measure to subserve
some personal cOncern,in SO cases out
of 100 no one is present who knows
enough about it to act intelligently.
Experience shows that, almost with
out exception, wise and impartial
legislation, land there is extremely
little of it. is prepared by persons
outside of the Legislature who are
sufficiently concerned for the wei
fare of the State to volunteer their
services.
1t is impossible for man, no
matter what be his abilities, to act
intelligently on such propositions
as should come before Legislature
until he has either made original
investigation or has availed himself
of the investigation of others. Expe-
rience proves that satisfactory origi-
nal investigation is not made after
a Legislature has convened. Every
person who has beea member OF a
Legislature testifes that during the
session the mind is so distracted
and there are so many things to oc-
cupy one that it is practically i'm
possible to give a subject that con-
slant, consecutive and long-contin-
ued attention which is necessary to
understand a matter of Legislation.
The longer the session the greater
the number OF distractions In
quiry shows that all wise legisla-
ton of a public nature that has oc
Cured was based on report by
some committee or commission spec
tally appointed to gather up the
facts and investigate the subject.
A very little thought will con-
vince any enc that adding 10 days
to the session will not remedy the
evil. The only remedy is to pro-
vide some machinery for collecting
and systematizing the character of
information on particular subjects
which the Legislature should have
before it.
Our Legislature costs $1,000 a
dav. To continue the session 10
days means $4,000 every two years.
This sum spent in gathering infor-
nation would bring treble the bar
vest of a long session. What this
State needs is salaried thinkers,
Give man like Morrow, Bennett,
Somerville, Dawson, Hamilton, J. +.
Brown, or McWhorter sufficient
salary to compensate him for his
services and he will find a way to
bring emigration and capital to this
State; any one of them would find
a way to equalize taxation; any one
OF them would find way to quiet
our land titles.
The constitutional amendment
should be voted down. The $15,-
600 can be expended in much bet
ter way.
We intend to discus this subject.

Col. John II. Fellows, OfNew York,
will make four speeches in West
Virginia during the month OF Octo-
Der, the points being Wheeling, Par
kersbure, Warrington aud New
Martinsville. Quite a number OF
our citizens will recall with pleasure
the speech delivered by Col. Fellows
at Byrne's Island in the fall of 1884.
1t was one of the best speeches de-
livered in this section during that
memorable campaign, and it would
indeed he a treat to the Democracy
of Jefferson to have him here on the
23rd of October, the time set for the
grand ratification meeting. We sug-
gcst to Congressman Wilson that if
possible to procure Colonel Fellows'
consent to address our people on
