Kansas booms. Read he- agri-
cultural reports, as published.
Look at some of the figures. What
State can beat it? We have raised
17,500,000 bushels of wheat, 66,237,.
600 bushels of oats; faxseed $780,
900 bushels. The corn crop, now
almost assured, is estimated at $780,.
100000 bushels. Add to this an
estimated potato crop of 100000
bushels, and 100000 tons of hay.
The above farm crops are valued at
s110,655, 400. To this must be ad-
ded sorghum, broom corn, rye, cas-
tor beane, fruit and vegetables.
And then to all this add the live
stock interest, and the value of all
will not fall below, at a reasonable
estimate, S140,655,420.
ALI this coming into the pockets
of the farmers will make easier
times in this State. Every inter
est calculated to make a great State
will be advanced. Onward to great
or greatness is our watchword
We anticipate heavier immi-
grafton In the near future. The

more States to be so fearfully ruin

every day. You may be assured
that Kansas will take no backward

Republican State Ticket.

utterly ignored the Invest issue be-
fore the people and 60 to the coun-
try on platitudes about protecting
Wool while the Boys are going to

PARKERSBURG ". va WEDNESDAY AUGUST 20. 1888.

our allegiance to the N. W. c. T. u.
and give our sympathy to that
party which declares for the Home
and against the Saloon"
White Ribboners! your labors
are all for the Home and against
the Saloon, for the overthrow of the
liquor traffic, and the protection of
the Home and how is it possible
that you should fail to sympathige
and cooperate with those who, in
the political field, are engaged in
an effort to secure the end for
which you labor and pray, in the
only way, as we have above shown,
that it can be secured?
There are parties in the field that
ignore the issue entirely; that
have not scintilla Of sympathy to
express, either by vow, or act, or
vote, for the great interests for
which you labor and pray; that
spurn you from their councils, and
dishonor your cause. Is it possible
for you to sympathize with these ?
The utmost you could do would be
to ignore the fact of their hostility
or Indifference, and throw your in
huence with them to secure the
ends at which they aim. But you
could only do this at the sacrifice
of principle, and would never think
of doing it, except for your environ
ments. There is certainly nothing
in the resolution that ought to
elicit opposition, or give offence ;
and I am sure that when scanned
by the rules of calm, honest, consci-
entious thought, unbiased by the
stress of the present environments,
it will be accepted as the logical
conclusion of your labors and pray
ers. Let US all keep sweet, be
honest and true to ourselves and to
the Master, and he will shortly
make the path of duty plain.

At the Prohibition Rally last
week at Fairmont the following
excellent ticket was nominated for
Marion County:
House OF Delegates-U. A. Clay.

man, of Glover's Gap.
Sheriff.. R. Tenant, Of Fair
view.
Prosecuting Attorney-W. w.

CESS, of Warrington district.
Assessors-Eastern Assessment
District, Nelson Hull, of Grant,
Western District, w. s. Pitzer, Of
Lincoln.
Surveyor-N. B. Sandy, of Lin
coin.
The Convention and citizens were
addressed in the afternoon by Mr..
e. w. Mills of McKeesport, Pa.
and in the evening by Hon. T. r.
Carskadon, Rev. L. L. Stewart Of
Moundsville and Rev. J. B. Reed
of Fairmont, Mr.. Frank Burt and
others.
Frank Burt for Congress.
After the county meeting the
Congressional Convention was held
and Mr.. Frank Burt nominated
by reclamation for Congress from
the Second District. Mr.. D. j.
Gideon Of Newburg was chosen as
Presidential Elector.
1t was not to Mr.. Burt's liking
to accept, but he is prominently
the man to lead the brave pioneers
of the Second District in the hot
work of this Campaign, and he is
not the man to falter in the rattle
and roar of political battle, as was
plainly shown by his stirring
speech and rallying of the forces for
the conflict. Marion County means
bushes from now till the election,
and Mr.. Burt will be heard from
throughout the second district.

bition amendment,
Come Over and Help U.s.

To Our Friends Evcrysohere.,
AS one of the results of Prohibi-.
ton party activity al, over the
land, demand for help comes up
from every quarter. Bat the pc
culiar circumstances Of the canvass
in West Virginia, We think, emit.
tie US to more help than we might
otherwise be justified in asking.
This is the only State where a
fight for Constitutional Prohibition
is now on. We are determined to
hold up our Party banner and at
the same time do all we can to se-
cure the ratification of the Amend
ment. In other States, in the can
vase for Constitutional Prohibition.
mouths we're closed against advo-
eating the Prohibition party, and
our National leaders were not al.
lowed to speak. But in West Vir-
ginia our Party speakers are boldly
advocating Prohibition Prohibition.
Under the auspices of the w. G.
I. o., l. O. G. T. and other agencies
engaged In Amendment work, our
speakers join heartily with all 9TH
ers in advocating the Amendment
on its merits alone, regardless of
party. But, few as we are, and with
only imperfect organization, we as
sert our right to stump the State"
for National, State and local Prohi-
bition candidates.
We were warned that if we NOM
mated State Ticket it would in
sure the defeat of the Amendment ;
that unless we would give up the
Third party" the non.partisan
Amendment League would be a
failure. But We have given no
heed to these threats. We are
keeping right along de middle OBJ
de Kings Highway" and the pros
poets of the Amendment are not
injured in the leaet by our course.
The outlook for its ratification is
very encouraging, and it is certain
that we shall greatly increase our
party vote. But to accomplish this
an active and vigorous campaign is
positively demanded. A number of
counties have as yet never been
canvassed, and much of our work
is in the rural districts, off the
lines OF railroad travel. We want
to organize every county in the
State, and the work is much more
than we can possibly accomplish
without help. We therefore appeal
to our friends in other States to
Come over and help us.

A Slippery Place for Biologists.

Heretofore the average geolog st has
been a man who drinks up time like Il
river and hasteth not. But now there
are some indications of a reform in re-
spect to this lavish use of time. Prof.
Prestwick. in the second volume of his
geology just issued from Oxford Uni.
versity press, says that the calculations
on which the glacial epoch was put back
240, 600 years are very defective. as
they are based on the rate at which
the puDy glaciers of the Alps move.
But basing his calculations on the rate
at which the Greenland glaciers move.
he thinks that the time occupied by the
great American ice slide need not have
been more than from 10, 600 to %. 600
years. And, by means of similar OBJ
servations and calculation. he limits
the time for the formation Of the val
leys. which followed, to 8. 900 or 10. 600
years. Hence the beginning of the
glacial period may not have been more
than 80. 600 years ago instead of $40, 900,
and the close of the period not more
