Whole number of cattle !:

The above statement of the number
of sheep in West Virginia shows that
under the tariff of 1867, return to
which is now demanded, the sheep cul-
ture declined with various fluctuations
reaching the lowest point in 1873. 1t
then began to rally and reached its
highest point in 1884, after the reduc-
ton of the tariff in 1888 had time to
show its full effect 1t would be in
teresting to know how much of the
present clamor on behalf of the wool
growers is fairly attributable to the eff
fects of the tariff and how much of it
is the mere vaporing of politicians who
are trying to put new breath into the
moribund Republican party.

The Republicans of Washington, d.
c., held a convention on Tuesday of
last week TO select delegates to the Chi
cago convention. From all accounts
it discarded decency and respect and
went in for a riotous time. The con-
vention became so boisterous and dem
onstrative that the police had to be
called in to qpcll them. But the war.
riors had on their war paint and they
were not to be subducd. The result
was two sets of delegates were chosen

SHEEP RAISING IN WEST VIR-

B'heelin0 Register.


CHARLESTON, w. VA, January -.
In view of the outc,y which some
of our high tariff friends are making
anent the Presidents recommendation
that the duty on wool be lowered, here
are few figures which seem to need
explanation Probably the protection
afforded to wool growers by the tariff
may not result elsewhere as it does in
West Virginia. but it is certain tina.
the number of sheep in this State which
steadily declines under the tariff of
1867 has almost as steadily increased
under the lower tariff of 1888. Here
arc the figures taken from the Auditor :
reports for the several years named:

y CORRESPONDENT writing to the Reg
lister from Gilmer county suggests that
the next Democratic State convention
should not be SO large as the last one
that one delegate be chosen for every
two hundred votes cast for President
Cleveland. We think two delegate for
every one hundred votes cast for Pres
ident Cleveland would be better. If
Parkersburg, Charleston or Hunting
ton can't furnish a building large
enough to hold the delegates they
should not ask for the convention. The
Democrats intend to nominate a strong
ticket this year and they propose to be
there at the christening Of the candi-
dates.

TALKS TO coLoRED PEOPLE.
DR.. Mayo Tells Them What it Is to Be
an American Citizen.

DR.. A. D. Mayo addressed the colored
people last night at the Franklin Square
Baptist Church He took for his subject
"How to Make an American Citizen" and
the more intelligent Of his audience followed
him with evident interest In their pecu-
liar way they would occasionally evince
their appreciation by ''ameus" and groans,
and CALCULATIONS like That's the truth"
The Doctors lecture was logical and his
ideas were expressed in the simplest and
plainest manner. He fitted his language to
his audience admirably and in all proba-
bllity the lecture was seed sown III good
ground
He complmented the colored people upon
the remarkable manner in which they have
borne the honors Of citizenship. people
which has gone through the period OF the
war, he said, and has reached middle age
has very little to learn. But Of the 600 900
colored people in this country there are at
least 100000 that are between the ages Of
> and q, and it is these who ought to
be brought to a realization of what
1t is 10 be an American citizen. The negroes
OF this country have made more rapid
progress from savagery than any other peo-
pie ever have. 1t has been but POO years
since their forefathers were savages, and
their descendants have accomplished more
IN the POO years toward civilization than
any other people have done in 900 years.
The opportunity of the negro has been
great. He has never had the sword, pesti
lence or famine to contend against He has
not been brought in contact with the low
est Of this country, but with the highest
class of people To make these rapid strides
1t has been necessary to work, learn the
language Of the country and learn the
religion of civilized people.
To be an American citizen it
is necessary to lay the foundation
upon good, religious, moral character.
You must train and look out for the
weak spots in your child's character" said
DR.. Mayo 'Teach the boy to govern him
self"
1t Is necessary to learn the great lesson
Of intelligent industry. The time has
come when man must not only work with
his hands, but with his brains as well.
In abiding to the nobility of work the
speaker said that he was surprised that any
body in this country should get the idea
that work is a degradation. 1t is the great
est disgrace on tine earth not to work. But
it takes an ignorant man just ten hours to
do what a smart man can do in eight.
Economy is another essential to American
citizenship, and upon this head the speaker

being laid with sixty pound rails, and the
work is being pushed on very rapidly by
koadmaster j. W. Craig. 1t is the inten-
ton of the company to substitute this
'calbre" rail all along the line from
charleston to Savannah When completed
the Charleston and Savannah railway will
be second to none in the South.
The lighting of the New York and Flori-
da Specialize vestibuled train-is done by
averysinple invention Of the Pullman com
pany. In the baggage car is placed small
dynamo of 80 volt power. A rubber belt IS
connected with the axle wheel of the car,
and all the power necessary to run the ma
chine is economically secured. There are
10 lights in the train, 20 in each car. Each
car las 81 cells of electrical insulators, in

rate of 1850 revolutions per minute, and
easily supplies all the light necessary. The
light Edison incandescent is of 60 volts

give a brilliant light In the dining car the
lights are especially noticeable for their soft,

is very pleasing.
The Minnesota Railroad Commissioners
have issued the following peremptOry order:
wv hereas, the custom prevails upon GER
tam railroads upon which sleeping cars are
run and operated within the State of Min
nesota Of lowering the upper berths of such
sleeping cars and fastening them down,
to the discomfort and inconvenience of the
occupants of the lower berths notwith-
standing the fact that the upper berths are
not required for use; now, therefore, it Is
ordered and determined that, on and after
the first day of January next, each upper
berth in any sleeping car, run or operated
upon any railroad within this State, shah
be and remain closed whenever the berth
beneath the same shall be occupied by
passenger, until such upper berth shall be
needed for actual occupancy by some other
passenger present, and requiring the same;
provided that the bed in the upper berth
shall be made ready for occupancy, and
such berth then elevated and closed until
needed for actual occupancy, or il shall be
lowered and fastened down at the option of
the taker of the lower berth"

DANCED IN CHARITY's NAME.
The Annual Charity Ball at the Guards
Arsenal Last Ni2ht.

The Annual Charity Ball at the Guards
Arsenal Last Night
Society danced for charity at the Guards
Arsenal last night. 1t was bad night for
ball costumes, and had it been any other
than charity's call, there would not have
been anything like the attendance that
there was Many tickets were sold of
course to people who did not attend, but
there were enough that did go to make the
ball.a success.
Charity brings together people who do
not often meet socially, and there were
many out last night who are better known
for their donations to the sick and unfortu-
nate than they are for their social promi-
nence. Many of Savannah's best known
society people, though, We're there.
That the ball was a very pretty one all
agreed. There were not as many brilliant
costumes as theref have been on other occa-
slons, but there were many very Iretty
ones. The dazzling wilderness of snowy
shoulders was as marked as it is at every
ball. Everybody in the nall danced. There
were few lockers on in the gallery, but
they were very few.
There were fourteen dances on the pro-
granlme, beginning with a quadrille and
ending with Virginia reel There was no
attempt at decoration III the hall. Every
thing was unostentatiously arranged. The
programmes were plain, and besides the
order of dancing and engagements they bore
only the words Annual Charity Ball" on
the cover None of the com
mittees were announced. Severos
Italian orchestra furnished the music
At II o'clock supper was served
by the ladies of the Industrial Relief So
Getty and after it the ball was resumed
The first signs of approaching morning had
appeared before the company separated
AT the close of the ball it was estimated
that thenet profit would be about $500 The
managers in charge who so successfully car
ried out the plans were Mrs. N. Lowell, Mrs.
Octavus Cohen, Mrs. Wilder, Mrs. Hoist,
Mrs Mcleod, Mrs. Sorrel, Mrs, j. p.

Ffhe Ellsler To-Ninht

Tonight Effie Ellser win open, by en-
gagement, with Woman against Woman"
in which she has made her greatest success.
The play is generally conceded to be one Of
The strongest domestic melodramas Of the
current stage. Its strength lies in
its directness and honesty of purpose.
IL is a simple story of a workman's
happy home made desolate by the deception
and cowardice of a vain and worldly
woman; it deals with the common struggle
of honesty and chastity and industry
against great odds 1t is picture of a
wife's wretchedness slowly wrought as her
husbands mind IS poisoned against her, and
she sees him stapger downward from the
manly, brave al affectionate fellow who
had sworn to project and defend her-to a
drunkard's grave.
The play is a marvel of simplicity Ii
deals out justice in the old fashioned way,
and reaches its happy ending through a
series of domestic pictures which strike the
mean of mems lives and shows the points of
character under a light that gallery and
parquet alike may recognize. The popular
verdict of Miss Ellsler's Bessie Barton is
that 1t is quite the best work she has done
since Hazel kirke" She possesses mag
netism and extreme senSibility. Her chief
est charm, perhaps, is her exquisite woman
illness. Her methods are all natural, and
her great efforts are produced by nervous
Italian method that rarely fails her.
