RUTH's NOTES.-The court house
was crowded last Tuesday night to
hear Gen. Beaver speak. And none
went away disappointed for the Gen.
eral made one of the finest speeches
that has been given here for long
time. The subject was handled in a
manner BETTING the eloquence and
reasoning power of Gen. Beaver. He
put things so logically and clearly
that the people cannot fail to under
stand excepting those who are will
fully ignorant. Hearty applause was
given repeatedly and cries of go on !;
go on were heard all over the house.
The best of order prevailed and the
General expressed himself as highly
pleased with his cordial reception. At
the close of the remarks three cheers
were given for the General and the
Glee Club sang several appropriate
songs.
We always thought there was plen-
ty of vinegar in Martinsburg, but
some of our young men have gone
back on home industries and 60 to a
neighboring town for that desirable
article. That will never do; always
IOOh W Tic liOlu0 ltltcIcSt.
Vinegar used to be sour-when it
hadn't lost its mother-but startling
discoveries are being made. One
young man, yes, two young men,
stoutly affirm that vinegar is sweet.
Next thing sugar will be sour.
There are worse calamities than
or-blindness, when ones sense of
taste is destroyed.
Miss Ida Pitzer is the guest of her
uncle, John Pitzer on King street.
Mrs. John HousWorth is visiting in
Washington, d. G.
Some of the Martinsburg boys were
at the Hagerstown Fair, and report as
having had fly time. l believe one
said he spoke to two thousand girls.
Good days work, wasn't it.
But guess vinegar is good for the
sore throat.
There's lots of fun at the X. of p.
Fair. When you're tired sitting down
you can promenade, it's quite the
rage and vice versa, and they have
good ice-cream and oysters. /. e. we
suppose so but are not speaking from
experience.
It's good place for fishermen as
there is an extensive fish pond. We
notice some boys that are right fond
of lettering in the vicinity of the
pond, but we think they are fishing
for smiles from the pretty girls there.
You can get glass of lemonade or
have your fortune told, all for FIVE
cents, and for the same sum you can
have two shots at a target. Lots
don't hit the target. There must be
something the matter with the rife,
something wrong somewhere.
There are collectors too numerous
to mention, but most of the people get
rid of them some how, either with a
surly negative or smiling yes. So
if you want to have a good time Just
drop in, there is plenty of good mus
ic.
Some young men often get their
eyes in an eclipse.
The fortunes told at the rink hit adj.
at least some of them.
They also have fortunes for sale,
one of our enterprising young clerks
was kind enough to buy one for
couple young ladies, but upon getting
there with it they declined with
thanks. That's right, our fortunes
are in our own hands-life is what we
make it. RUTH.

The school question is one Mr.. Will
son should never have touched. 1t
is sore and sorry reminder of the
obstacles popular education had to
contend against. All the evils of
the old world and its tyrannies
were due TO popular ignorance. All
the blessings and future perfection
of civilization in the new world will
come through the means of popular
education-a perfect public school
system.
The best plan for politicians of
both parties is to let the past of such
vital home questions rest in the past
and work together to perfect and
advance for the present and the fin
ture institutions that have come to
stay, like popular suffrage, public
education, and equal rights to all.

a
this country to sustain Mr.. Wilson's
assertion that the Democratic party
is the laboring mems party. Our
laws and institutions were built up
by the statesmen and patriots of all
parties. The tendency to division
of society in this country, and the
adoption OF customs and class rules
that lowered and degraded the com.
mon people in Europe for centuries,
finds all Its sympathy and support
among sectional aristocracy that
would hold up the white.trash y OF
the South and the mud-sills I" of
the North as beneath its notice or
association. So with his claim that
his party was the public school party
before there were Republicans IN ex-
istence. The teachers certificates of
twenty years ago had a qualification,
required by Republicans, that not
every Democrat could meet. The
Republican party and the public
schools were then working actively
together, and why does Mr.. Wilson
falsify history. Memory here would
tell him that the schools his party
fostered required poor children to
have a certificate of poverty from
some public commissioner which adj
mitted them to the schools then es-
tablished, and which characterized
such children as public beggars and
paupers and the great objection the
aristocracy OF his party had to the
public school system of the Republi-
can party was that it made their
children associate on terms of equal
ity with the poorer and more CON-
mon children. Let him ask himself
to-day who send their children away
to private schools or academies if
they can not employ home tutors.
