Tribute of.Respect.
BY THE lsT M. E-sUNDAY SCHOOL

WHEREAS, It has pleased Almigh-
ty God in His allwise providence to
remove from our Sabbath School our
beloved Librarian, Brother James l..
Bateman, by whose death we lose one
who was faithful to his Church and to
the Sabbath School.
One who's was firm believer in the
forgiveness of sins, through the blood
of our Lord Jesus Christ. One who
was faithful worker in the school,
having been in it from his infancy.
He was the Librarian of the school for
years and filled the Office with great
satisfaction. Our departed brother
was devotedson, and loving broth
er, being the main support of his wild
owed mother, with whom we deeply
sympathize in her bereavement. But
we bow in submission to the divine
will of God, who doeth all things well,
knowing that our loss is his eternal
gain. Therefore be it,
Resolved, That the library be draped
in mourning for the space of thirty
days.
ResolUed, That we tender our heart
felt sympathies to the bereaved fami-
ly in their sad affiiction.
Resolued, That copy of these reso-
buttons be presented to the bereaved
family, and recorded in the minutes
of the school, and published in the
different papers of the city.

BRUTE FORCE VS.. THE LAW.

History and everyday occurren.
ces prove that man has barbarous
origin and an animal tendency, des
pite all the civilizing influences and
teachings of time.
The constitutions of the Union
and of the States provide that no
person shall be deprived of life, lib
erty or property, except by due pro-
cess of law and the judgment of a
mans peers.
Yet ever day, life, liberty and pro-
perty are taken by human frenzy,
and the despoiled have no appeal to
law because sentiment is against
them, and the law being semi-polit'
ical and a semi.human measure,
fears the maddened crowd, and DEM
onstrates the superiority OF brute
force to the law,-small-scale reyol-
utions.
There should be no crime or breach
of the peace that could not he reach
ed by the law, if properly carried
ont; yet many sections Of the coun-
try are dominated by unlawful
bands that respect neither age nor
person, and take life with as much
composure as they burn property.
In Calhoun County, w. Va, last
week, the homes OF a Mormon and
his friends were burned, women and
children made desolate, and terror
inspired into a whole neighborhood.
If the Mormon had committed any
crime, there was a legal procedure
for his punishment; if he had not,
the men who burned his property
and made his life insecure were nc
better, but far worse, than the reli.
gious butchers that assailed every
creed and sect through all the CEN
turtles of persecution aud cOnfisca
ton; for inquisition was never SO
fanatical that it did not accord some
form of trial, and royal decree never
so sweeping that it did not follow at
least semblance of law. We have
not much love for the Mormon OF
the heather Chinee, but the heresy
of the burner is more damnable than
the heresy of the burned.

1t must be admitted that for all
the energy expended and the efforts
exerted by the papers and by indi.
viduals, Martinsburg is no nearer a
great manufacturing centre or a
thriving and prosperous business
city than it was five or ten years
ago. True, it has been built up, but
you may build it up twice its size
and it will be the same as before
without some enterprise is started to
give employment, bring capital here
and turn something into ready
money,
Every stranger who comes here
extols the advantages and induce
ments of the situation, and thinks it
is the peoples fault that shop and
factory, foundry and furnace are
not teeming with life and labor.
The answer is not an easy matter.
The people have tried time and
again, and the president of their
efforts generally wound them up as
their trustee.
1t is thd old question that VIC are
tired of discussing, but the import.
ance of the moment is so great to
everyone that we feel it our duty to
call particular attention to the signs
of the times, which none can deny
or dispute and that is the unusual
ly industrious agitation in every
town and state to secure recognition,
draw capital and attract enterprise
and emigration. If Martnsburg
misses her chance at this opportune
time, she can safely rest on her old
oars tor five or ten years to come.
The question then is, what shall
be done?
There are older, more experienced
aud influential men than we to give
the answer.
A few things are plain to all
Wake up! Pat the liuest business
men forward for the town and coun.
~ offices. Organize board of trade
and take some steps to keep the
abominable credit system from grow
ing to anymore alarming proper
tiOns!
Let merchants and business men
live and let live up to honorable bus
mess system and principle, and not
cut each others Threats for the sake
oil doing q little business.
Show more liberal spirit than
that of trying to monopolize whole
town, and giving ont the idea
to the world that you had fence
around it, Wake up, d redeeming
