1t must be remembered that the
present duties, taken altogether, are
far in excess of what they were be-
fore the war, and that they have
been three times largely increased
since the passage of the Morrill, tar
itf act of 1881. Such excessive pro-
lection not only ceases to diversity
production, but forces labor into
protected employments If the
present rates of duty were high
enough during and since the war,
When homo industry was burdened
Will, heavy internal taxes-with
stamp duties, income taxes and high
rates on raw materials then surely
they are now too high when all

GIN possibly have any good reason
to vote against Judge jackson for
Congress. He is an able man with
a stainless character, and in every
official capacity in which he has
served he has maintained a spotless
record. His political addresses are

NO BITTERNESS.

We are glad that the bitter, biting,
venomous sting of personal abuse, has
been kept out of this campaign. Only,
covert insinuations have been made
in a few instances, and even those,
are likely to recoil on the heads of
the speakers and editors. The lnde-
pendent, has given to each candidate,
a fair need of commentator, and so
far as we can recall, has not abused
any person. Such was, and is, the
intent of the editor, and win who
may, we promise the proper ALE
glance of citizen to the law, and the
enforcement thereof, every day in the
year.

Mr.. Stephen B. Elkins came here

crate, but the general impression is

to dispense Doodle. "-Statesman.
That is simply, bosh. Mr.. Elllins
came here as gentleman, as other
Democratic and Republican gentle
men have during this campaign. He
and they came to talk to and meet
with gentlemen, and we resent, as a
citizen of Martinsburg, any idea that
our people are to be bought with
Doodle. The people of Martinsburg
are too respectable to merit such OPP
probium, and too honorable to pass
in silence such remarks upon respec-
table and honorable visitors.

REST FOR THE People.

There are times, when individuals

hopeless for peace, quiet and con-

sacrifice, for rest. Nations, are sub

of an election. such as is now about
to be closed-business stopped, fl

and industries paralyzed, thinking

a speedy ending, hopefully, search
through the glare OF torches, and the
war of words, for the end, for the
star Of peace, of good will, of equita-
bic government, prosperity, rest.

that the end is 50 near, that in a few

elected you win, and I'll marry you"

THE NEW ELECTION Ia w.

1t is proper that all voters should
have full knowledge of the election
law, in order that it may not either be
violated or avoided. The legislature
of 1887 made several amendments,
the substance of which if not known,
might get innocent parties in trouble.
No regular ticket can be changed
except by scratching and writing in,
the name of the substituted candi-
date, or by having blank in the
printed form one-third of an inch
wide, and extending all the way
across the ticket, so that the voter
can write the name therein, or by
printing the name in red ink, or u.s.
ing pastors or stickers printed in red
ink. The other amendments are
equally as important, and we print
them in full:
Is. No person shall, on the day
of election, within sixty feet of the
voting place, request another person
to exhibit or disclose the contents of
any ticket or ballot which such other
person intends to use in voting.
IA. Any person who, on the day
of election, having inspected the bal
lot OF voter, or having furnished q
voter with ballot, accompanies such
voter within sixty feet of the voting
place whilst such voter is on his way
to the polls for the purpose of voting,
shall be guilty Of a misdemeanor OF
any person, acting in conjunction
with another who has, on the day Of
election, inspected the ballot of vo-
ter, or furnished q voter with bal.
lot, who accompanies such voter
within sixty feet of the voting place
whilst such voter is on his way to
the polls for the purpose of voting
or any person who shall call voter

are the men who should watch fraud,
the men who make the country pros
porous and the nation great. Those
kind of men, of either party, have

SACKVILLE SACKED.

Mr.. West, the English Minister at
Washington, known on the books,
where they keep the pedigree of i'm
ported animals, as "Lord Eye Gods)
"Sackville," has been given his pass
port back to England, because, for
sooth, he wrote a letter, intimating,
that English interests desired the
election of Grover Cleveland to the
presidency. Well,-well, sending
him back does not refute the propo-
sition. Of course, he was a big fool
to let The cat out of the bag before
the election, but he did let it out, tail
and all, and chopping his head off
will not keep the British lion from
trying to rob, to steal, the nest, the
industries, the manufactures, the
markets, of the American eagle. Bless
your soul, no! He viii go back, but
England will send another biped over
to wipe up the tracks and play the
game a little more secretly. Say,
Johnny Bull, can you tell us why In
dia pays you tribute, or why the
Scottish parliament does not meet in
Edinburgh, or the Irish parliament
in Dublin? Can you do it? All |!
may the shamrock and the thistle
vet be able to stand with the Ameri-
can eagle for home and protection.

candidacy for Judge of this circuit.
The Mercury, the Neaos. the States
man, the Herald, the Press, the Reg

mel, the Democrat and the Spirit
of Jefferson, have our thanks for
kindness, though we may not get all
their votes. We have been showing
the quill since 1865, and have been in
all the controversies incident to the
times. We have had some red-hot
contests, but as we never bore malice
in any of them, we have been treated
the same way by our opponents, and
feel very happy and contented with
the personal good will of our contem-
poraries. When we get on the bench
we will be happy and pleased to see
our friends of the press.

Lies hitful scenes are ended, for her. It's
troubles will trouble no more. She has
fought her last fight. She became more than
conqueror through Him that loved her.
Her victory was complete. She routed the
enemy and drove him in disastrous confu.
sion from the field. By faith, she broke
through the boastful ranks that comprised
her about and hewed them down with the
heavy double edged sword of the spirit,
which is the word of God. She kept the
faith on this side of the river. Now she
wears the crown on that. A lonely home
welcomes the bereaved hearts that bow on
the threshold and weep when they remember
that she is gone, who always was the light.
Thu little motherless children know not yet
what it means. Their little tender hearts
