THE DEMOCRACY OF WEST VIR-
GINA DEMANDS HER
BEST MEN.

Even among those whose views
are not clear on the tariff question,
the clean-cut and candid statement
put forth by the President, in his
recent message, has enhanced the
respect in which he is held by the
people. They see that Grover Cleve
land is man of principle and of
convictions, and that he has the
courage to do his duty, with no
opinions to swap for the applause
and flattery of monOpoly's minions.
Had he given no other proof of
craftsmanship, this manly appeal to
a Quickened public conscience would
mark him as a leader worthy ofhigh
trusts. The fact is, that he has
strengthened himself on all sides by
taking a firm stand against power
tul influences; and the abuse level
ed AT him, but brings out in clearer
light the calm dignity of an exalted
character, that fears no tests and
knows no flinching. He will be re-
elected, because of the abiding faith
that now turns to him, as the repre-
sentatiOn of something positive, in
contrast with the time-serving,
trucking seekers of pelf, who pa
rade before the people with specious
promises, and yet have no PROPOSE
tion that they are willing distinctly
to advocate, no measure they would
risk a single vote to defend. Mr.,

''pot-hunters," charging their ring
sufficiently to admit the manipula-
tors that belong to other political
factions, are already scheming to
push their creatures forward. AS
pirants for place, from constable to
sheriff and clerkships, are circling
court houses with plans ''to get
there" They are putting on their
slate for the Legislature, characters
of negative worthlessness, not with
view to fitness for legislative du-
ties, but solely with regard to prob
able availability of standing by the
ring, or helping to pull the whole
lot through. Not even the judicial
office is spared consideration in the
trade, and the States attorney is to
be reckoned among the peoples
prizes, to make the thing sure. 1t may
safely be predicted that neither boss
es seeking higher place, nor scram-
blers for local Office, will be allowed
to nominate members of the Legisla-
ture this year, with impunity; nor
need they expect to come in on the
tidal waves of a presidential cam
paign. They will be given over to
destruction, and they ought to be.
One thing though is certain, if
the party puts up men of character
and fitness, the Democracy.will hail
a new day in State affairs, and make
triumphant the principles that are
still fixed in the popular heart.
But mediocrity will have to stand
aside at this crisis for recognized
capacity and worth.

Since the organization of the Uni
ted States Government the chief
justices of the Supreme Court have
been as follows: John Jay, 1889 to
1895; John Rutledge, of South Car
DINA, to 1876; Oliver Ellsworth,
from 1876 to 1900; John Mar
shall, from 1901 to 1885; Roger B.
fancy, from 1886 to 1864; Salmon
p. Chase, from 1864 to 1873, nine
years. Mr.. Morrison R. Waite, of
Ohio, appointed by Grant, has held
the office since 1874. Virginia has
always been allotted the district as
signed to the Chief Justice.

held a half dozen melons. The donkey
was tall, lean, lank, and seemed afraid OIL
the little k'yart to which he was harnessed.
The huckster singly was not novelty,
nor the donkey, nor the wagon, but the
combine" the trinity, from which all
sorts of comparisons could be drawn, was
a sensation which drew crowd OF little
folks and servants The little folks talked
about it at home, and so he WAS advertised,
and his example points moral. IL Is
this: to say remedy will relieve, for
instance, is not saying much. The heat
from the friction Of the hand will some
times do that. Nor is it all to say it Will

the pain may return; nor VIII IL 90 10
boast OF permanent cure unless there u
no relapse, no return Of pain for O good
length of time against changes OF weather.
But a remedy which relieves all pains
promptly and surely, which relief is cure
beyond all question, which cure IS proved
i'll thousand cases permanent beyond any
fear of relapse, is combine" OF virtues
beyond all competition, upon which the
public eye is fixed. And this is the supe-
rior merits of st. Jacobs Oil. AS proof,

that one application cured me-" These
points repeated in so many instances are
given to clnch It's superiority AS in the
clsc of the huckster, it is not a single
thing that tests. 1t is not one but many
virtues that are required to subdue pain,
and this combination. by long years OF
experiment, has proved itself unfailing in
efficacy and unsurpassed in merit. 1t
requires no loud voice to proclaim it; 1t
speaks and acts for itself, always true and
sure.

West vsigiili!a Democrat.

If "a member of the Legislature
thoroughly understands a subject he
can explain it to his associates.
The people do not sufficiently con-
slider that if they want wise laws,
they must elect men who investi-
gate and study public questions.
The private interests which
thrive on laws that damage the
masses, always have experts present
to argue their side, but no one is
present to answer them; they cannot
be answered except by man ac-
quainted with the facts.
The farmers of Jefferson cannot
keep even" with things as they are.
The remedy is, to send to the Leg
islature men qualified for the place.
Be it remembered, those who pros
per by laws which impOverish agri-
culture, have their emissaries to
hound down the very men most like
ly to carry out the will of the people.
1t seems strange, but it is none
the less true, that sneak, liar,
time, server and self-seeker (the very
sort of person most likely to betray
his constituents succeeds in poll
ties better than a high toned, hon
orable man who will sacrifice him
self to serve those who trust him.
Pride of character and ambition to
maintain a good name will induce
some men to make greater exertiOn
than they could be induced to make
for money. Such men never betray
a cause to advance themselves.
We frequently see men in high
office which they obtained by acting
the traitor.
The men who will do their duty
in a Legislature are not those who
plot, scheme, lie and make combina-
tions to obtain a nomination.
The need of this age is, law-mak-
ers whose past life proves that they
will not betray a trust to gain per
sOnal advancement. We have such
men; let us bring them to the front;
