West Virginia is half as big as
Pennsylvania in area, although you
probably never thought so, and if it
has half as big a chance under Pro.
lection, it will be as big a state in
mineral wealth. Probably when the
President wrote his Free.trade Mes.
sage he did not realize that there
was state in the solid South which
had tripled its coal output since it
voted for Hancock and doubled it
since it voted for Cleveland. This
is a great country and West Virgin
ia wants time to catch up with the
Protection procession and the land
slide for Harrison has begun there
accordingly.-Phila. Press.

THE MARKED TEXT.

Isabel, this is the key of your
mothers wardrobe said a father to
his motherless daughter and only
child, on her eighteenth birthday.
Take it, and, at your leisure, look
over your sainted mothers things.
You are at an age now to value
them.n
With these words the father, a
great scholar and bookworm,n left
the room.
Isabel was soon looking over her
young mothers possessions. She
could just remember being taken as
tiny child to kiss sweet pale lady
in bed, and next day being told
that her mother was in heaven, and
as she looked on long unused things,
she yearned to have that fair moth.

that the board that levles the taxes for
county purposes should be supplement-
ed by separate board for the construc-
tive work. The work which has been
done on the county roads has not been
under the present system, properly
superintended or directed, and the
county has been heavily the loser by
not having constant and efficient
superintendent, which could not be
given by the county commissioners or
by supervisors appointed by them from among
farmers who hare neither the lime during the

The Changers Score Another Point
in Congress.

Con0ressma Rav ner scored good point
in the House on Wednesday by amending
a resolution providing for an investigation
of certain combinations, trust-pools, etc,
The question came up on resolution re-
ported from the committee on manufactures
alleging "that certain individuals and cor
porations engaged in manu- featuring, min
ing, or dealing in some oil the necessaries of
life, have combined for the purpose of con-
trolling or curtailing the production or
supply of the same, and thereby increasing
their price to the people of the country,
which combinations are known as associa-
tons, trusts, pools and like Names and
that such com binatIons not only injurious
ly affect comm cree between the States, but
impair the rev enues Of the United States as
derived from its duties on imports.
The resolution directs the committee or
manu- features to enquire into the name and
number and extent of such alleged combi-
nations, under whatever name known,
theil method of combination or doing bus
mess, their effect upon the prices of any OF
the necessares of life to the people of the
country, upon its internal or foreign com.
merce, and its revenues from impost duties,
together with any and all other matters re-
lating to the same which may call for or
suggest legislat ion by Congress, and re-
port the same to the House with such rec
concentrations as the said committee may
agree upon. The original preamble of the
resolution provided that the investigation
called for should not apply to companies
| incorporated under the laws Of any State.
Mr.. Rayner moved to strike out this excep-
ton, stating that the investigation sought
for would avail nothing if it did not apply
to companies incorporated under State laws
and would simply dwindle into an examin-
ton ofindividuals. He, therefore, urged
that the scope of the examination be broad.

pany, the Western onion Telegraph Com

road and Coal and Iron Company, and all
other companies made up of combinations
in dozen or more different States. He
referred to the strike at the Reading coal
mines as an instance of the powers of these
combinations, and went on to show how such
combinations affect the working classes anG

Gus efforts to break the force of his remarks
by the introduction of amendments no.
germane to the subject, but he maintained
his attitude with such an array of facts and
good logic that his amendment Was adopted
by an overwhelming vote.
Surfing Congress up to such work and
strengthening the hands of members who
will undertake it is one of the most impol
tant uses of the grange, and if farmers
would consider the latent power of the or.
ganization for accomplishing such work in

Petitions IN Circulation.

Numerous petitions are in circula-
ton asking the legislature to en-
power the County Commissioner to
fund the debt of the county. Other
petitions are in circulation asking
the legislature to empower the peo-
| ple of the State to vote on an article
to be added to the Constitution pro.
hibiting the manufacture and sale of
Intoxicating liquors in this State as
beverage.
Mr.. VIM. B. Steel opposes this
movement, in an article published in
the Sun of Wednesd ~, on the
ground that the action is premature.
He says: "The vote in the counties
might be pretty evenly divided, with
perhaps a majority in favor of prohi
bition. but it is certain that the city
would be against it. The foreign
element and the negro vote go solid

"Still Harping on My Daughter"

And that shrew of daughter is the
public roads. Calvert County is groan-
ing with the same complaint that af-
fiicts Cecil and other counties, and the
correspondent from that county of the
Baltimore Sun, voices the sentiment of
the taxpayers in condemnation of their
road system which is virtually the
same fossil plan that has afflicted our
county. Road making placed in the
hands of men who know nothing about
the business. Just what we have been
endeavoring to impress upon the pub
lie for years. Read what the Calvert
correspondent says:

important work is conducted has been
proven to be radically defective. No

ney in their denuuciations of the
shameless manner that the trial of
whiskey cases has been conducted. un-
til those high officials of justice squeal-
ed last week. The judge has remand
ed the case to the grand jury and pro-
poses that the contempt" which these
papers have committed against the sa-
cred tribunal shall be brought TO an is
sue by an indictment. The Times sub
stantially charged that the failures to
convict in local option cases in Hartford
county were due in part to the compo
sition of the juries, and asserted that
''of the jurors at the present term of
court who stand out for acquitGal in
the face of the clearest evidence of guilt
several are notorious drunkards and
frequenters of bar rooms, whose pres
ence in the jury box is an affront to
the upright citizen. violation of the
State law and discredit to the judicial
administration" The Hartford Demo-
Gratis article said: Witnesses commit
perjury, jurors disregard their solemn
obligations, and prison doors yawn in
vain for violators of the law"
Now let the prohibition sentiment
make itself felt in Hartford county and
Judge Waters and his drunken jur-
ors know that their trifling with JUS
tice has been contempt to the people
that they will no longer tolerate. A
little more back bone is all the prohi-
bitionists of Hartford require to trium-
phantly yindicate the papers which
dared to publish the damaging truth.
