Charley Hatton has been studying the
sciecne of politics and comes to the fol-
lowing conclusion: i will tell you what
ought to be done, there ought to be about
three men elected in each county at every
general election to be. shot or hanged.
They ought to be put out of the way in
some sort of a human way. In that
way the community could be relieved of
lot of fellows to its everlasting benefit.
You see in case like that fellow would
try to act mighty nicely for fear of being
elected one of the three | am satisfied
il would be a good thing to hang about
three men in each county every year.
They could be elected, and common dis
honesty would be a qualification.
Then you see if a man were to act
"onery we could say to him. now look
here Cap. if you don't conduct yourself
more uprightly l will nominate you,
and have plenty of friends and viii
elect you, sure. Don't you see that this
scheme would purify society:

sion at which the mob arrived when they

HARRISON is elected. Now comes
the squabble for the loaves and fishes.
What the course of the incoming
administration will be cannot be ques-

THE Savannah News has this to
say about Gen. Harrison and the
South:
IF General Harrison desires his
party to become strong and respected
in the South, he must see that it's
policy in Southern matters is changed.
He can relieve the Southern people of
a burden Of apprehension by announc-
ing in his inaugural address that he
will not pursue a policy calculated to
breed race troubles, and that he recog-
nizes that the race problem can be
solved more readily by the Southern
people themselves, and without out.

SINNERS majority in the district
is 1900. When we consider the
character Of his opponent this defeat
is overwhelming. Mr.. White was
the most popular man of his party
and commanded great respect, on
account of his personal character,
among Democrats of every county in
the district. He is too good a man
to be Republican and we hope his
defeat will serve to open his eyes to
the truth as held by our party and
make him, what he ought to be, a

Baked Cat and Roasted Dog.

On Tuesday morning the family OF a
well-known Shepherdstown gentle
man could have had baked cat for
breakfast if they had wanted it. But
they didn't want it. In fact, they
didn't want any breakfast at all. 1t
seems that a kitten that was evident
lv chilly crawled into the oven OF the
cooking stove during the night, and
next morning the doors of the stove
were shut with the kitten on the in
side. A brisk fire was kindled for the
preparation of the matutinal meal.
Soon the caterwauling OF kitten was
heard, but as the sound could not be
located little notice was paid. FINALLY
the smell OF something baking that
was not on the bill of fare drew atten-
ton TO the stove. The doors We're
opened. the baked feline discovered,
and then-New York! New York.
A couple of weeks since fine little
Scotch terrier was roasted in the stove
of Shepherdstown lady in pretty
much the same style. In view OF these
events we advise cooks to turn an
electric light on their stoves hereaf-
ter. before the fire is'kindled.

Politics at Chariestown.

Politics at chariestown.
Ex-senator Joseph Z. Mcdonald of
Indiana and Congressman William l..
Wilson spoke in Charlestown on Tues
day afternoon last to an immense au-
dience of enthusiastic Democrats. MIR.
McDonald's speech was principally
upon the tariff, which he discussed at
length and with ability. After dis
cussing free wool, wages, foreign COM
merce and our merchant marine, he
dwelt at some length upon the plat
forms of the two parties, critlclslnS
the Republican with keen satire. lie
was opposed to the protective system
because it fosters trusts and monopo-
lies and tends to the Capitalization OF
wealth and power. and because he
does not believe the constitution gives
to Congress unlimited power to tax
the whole people for the benefit of
certain industries. In concluding, he
said he indorsed the administration
of the President, that Cleveland is the
greatest Executive of the day, and
deserves a re election by his party;
that Allen G Thurman is the best
living specimen of Jeffersonian Democ-
racv, and that Indiana would give
them handsome majority in Novem-
Der. In speaking of the Republican
candidates he said Gen. Harrison is
not in the campaign; that Blaine is
running it, and that Morton was put
on to furnish the money. The eX-Sen-
ator's speech was received with great
favor and was much applauded.
Congressman Wilson was then in
PRODUCED and received with great APP
plause. He discussed the wage ques-
ton, free wool and the surplus. He
said that if every man in this great
country could have a bill presented to
him showing the amount of money he
had paid in the last year, drawn from
his pocket by the present tariff law
for the benefit of manufacturers, not
single man would be elected on the
Republican ticket. Labor, he said, is
in a free market, the necessaries of
! life are in protected market. How
can labor prosper until the necessa-
ries are cheapened?
Col. r. p. Chew made an able speech
at night to a good audience.
