Mfr. Editor: We only ask space
in your paper to say something con-
corning the county officers which
are to be elected this Fall, and as it
is our duty as a party to select the
best men and be on time If we wish
to win; we will say further, to be-
gin now. As to the Office OF Sheriff,
Mr.. Neale, or Mr.. Hanly, would eli.
Their Of them make good officers.
And as there has been but little
said concerning the Office Of As
SCISSOR, We would suggest the name
of A. c. Waggener as being the
proper man for the Office. Mr..
Waggener is one among our best
citizens, and is a gentleman in ev-
cry particular, and a good Judge OF
property, and q successful farmer.
We trust that he will get the nomi.
nation and be elected.

The Great Storm In the East.
On Monday and Tuesday of last
week one of the greatest storms ever
known in this cuntry took place in
the Eastern States. Snow fell to the
depth of four and five feet on a Lowell,
but the strong winds formed immense
drifts, and railroad travel was gus
pended for several days. Telegraph
lines were down, and for a time it
was impossible to get reliable infor-
nation of the extent of the damage
done. In New York City the storm
wasofunprecedented severity. Quite
a number of lives were lost, and il
was not safe to venture outside dur
ing the storm. Business was at a
standstill for several days, and it was
with difficulty people could obtain
their supplies of food. Boston, New
Haven, Albany, and other Eastern
cities were in the same predicament.
The storm was very violent on the
Atlantic coast, and it is feared that
many vessels have been lost. Condo
lences and offers of substantial aid
were sent from Dakota, Nebraska
and Minnesota to the sufferers in
New York, thus reversing the usual
order, and showing gratitude to those
who have SO often sent supplies to
the West.

The enactment of the Mills bill
would leave the average duty higher
than it was under the Morrill, Tariff
in 1863. It would leave it higher
than was proposed by the Republi-
can Tariff Commissioners in 1882.
It will add no more to the free list,

Arthur and Secretary Folger.

A bill has been agreed upon by
the house persons committe unani-
mously for granting pensions to
prisoners of war during the rcbell-
ion. 1t provides that each man in
the military or naval service of the
United States who was a prisoner
of go days or more, and who is now
suffering from any disability. which
can be reasonably be presumed to
be the result OF exposure and bard
ships endured while in confinement
as a prisoner Of war, and not tho
result of his own misconduct or
vicious habits, shall be paid the
pension now provided by law for
similar disabilities, provided that
no person shall be allowed to receive
more than one pension. There are,
beyond all doubt, number of men
who have been rendered by tho
hardships of prison life unable to
earn an adequate support. and who
are not entitled to a pension under
the ordinary pension laws, gener-
erous as these are.

Another RAILROAD.

The people Of this county are at
present deeply interested in two
proposed routes. One of these is
from Harrisville to Charleston. The
desirability and availability of this
projected road are apparent at a
glance. The road would go through
q region where timber, coal and
iron abound. It would connect the
Baltimore l. Ohio and Chesapeake
& Ohio, and there would be n great
flow Of travel. Oompleted from the
B. & o. through Tyler county to
New Martinsvilfe, in Wetzel county,
it would connect the northern and
southern parts of the State, as no
other line can. That such q road
would be a paying one to those who
would build it, is absolutely certain.
