THE HAYNES & DEWITT Co.

Hon. J. Manchester Haynes President, g.
w Lawrence, Treasurer-began cutting this
season on January 18th. This company en-
ploys three hundred men and more than a
hundred horses. Although no new buildings
have been erected during the present year
yet over two thousand dollars have been ex-
pended in Improvements, and the company
was never in better condition for seasons
work. During the year 1887, 10000 tons
were cut all of which was shipped away,
principally to Baltimore and Philadelphia.
This year it is purposed to cut the same
amount.

CAPACITY of - 900 tons.
The ice is reported to be eighteen inches
in thickness. and although the ice cutting
campaign did not start in quite as early as
usual this season. there is little doubt but
what more than usual amount will be housed
along the river correspondent
of the Boston Herald sums up the outlook in
these words .Repo is III t the New Workers
are getting plenty of ice does not discourage
the Keunebec operators, because, as they say,
a hundred contingencies raay yet arise that
will make shortage. A dollar a ton is a
having price for ice. but the margin of profit
is not as large as many suppose. What with
the long VOYAGES required to convey Maine
ice to Southern ports, the loss by breakage
and shrinkage, and the competition that is met
with after the cargo reaches a market, oper-
ators run great risk, in carrying on this
business. unless they have contracted for the
sale of their ice at stipulated price before
they commence cutting it. The day for large
fortunes in ice seems to have gone by, unless
there should be an ice famine. Then the
Keunebeckers, who can generally count upon
a crop. would have positive advantage. The
highest price ever paid for Kennebec ice was
in 1870. when there was an ice famine. II
then commanded sl2 ton. and score of
men made their fortunes. 1t was the boom
of that year that started the ice industry on
the Kennebec. and subsequently made It the
permanent business that it has become

resentation and falsehood may serve TO
hoodwink such soldiers as get their in
formation from the columns Of the
Journal, but it will not deceive the
intelligent soldiers who read other pa
pers and think for themselves. II use
to be the custom under Republican
administrations that soldiers got pen
sions for their loyalty to the Republi-
can party. 1t is quite different under
the Democratic administration. All
deserving soldiers are allowed pensions
under the Democratic administration
irrespective of party politics.

WORD comes from Pleasant Hill that
VIM. ID. TitcheneH has on his war
paint because the ex-Chairman did not
have him appointed temporary chairman
of the late Republican convention.
This is all wrong. and w. ID. will be
sorry when he knows the facts. The
last official act of the late chairman
before his head rolled into the basket
from the new guillotine was motion
to make Mr.. Titchenell temporary chair
man of the convention. But the con-
vention failed to respond to the motion
of its doomed chairman. Dawson
should not be held accountable for cir
cumstances over which he had no con-
troll.

The cost of producing pig iron in
England averages about $40 ton, and
the cost of producing American iron
from $3.50 to $40 ton. The duty
on pig iron is 1912 per ton. See p
charleston Gazette.
Yes, we see, but the Republican
party must protect CD the American
laborer against the pauper laborer of
Europe by putting the $6.72 down in
the American manufacturer pocket so
he can go over to England and Scot
land and drive James G.. Blaine around
over the country like Andrew Carne-
gle did. This is what the Republican
party calls high protective tariff to
American labor. We are willing to
admit that it is pretty high tariff for
the American workingman to pay to
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie.

FREE WOOL.

The passage of the free wool clause
of the Mills bill by good majority in
the House indicates the passage of the
tariff bill in a like manner, and upon
the Republican Senate will rest the
responsibility of final disposition of
the question.
Is free wool right or wrong?
Our Republican brethren carefully
refrain from discussing the moral eth
les the question, but they are unit in
pronouncing it most inexpedient from
political point of view. They never
tire of telling how many wool-grow-
ing votes Cleveland is going to lose
this fall, but they don't compute the
gains among customers.
Free wool means reduction in the
price of wooden goods of about 20 per
cent. Pennsylvania consumes S75,-
600, 900 worth of wooden goods annu-
ally, and the saving to her citizens
would be SIS, 100000. The entire
wool crop of the State is valued at
$3.50, 900.
1t seems to us that so small a tail
shouldn't presume to wag so large a
dog .-[Courior.

THE ARGUS was in favor of nomina
ting full ticket on Thursday lrst, but
ii is now conceded the convention did
the wisest thing We will now have
our district conventions to select dele
gates to the county convention and it
will stir the voters up. 1t will double
their enthusiasm; it will give US time
to deliberate and map out campaign
for work; it will give the candidates six
weeks in which to make their canvass
of the county which is ample time
If we will only keep the ball rolling
for that length of time, we willsurprise
ourselves when the votes are counted.
Six weeks of an aggressive campaign
is what We want.

FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL

The Democrats of Preston county in
structed thier delegates to the State
convention TO cast the solid vote of
Preston for her talented son, J.. j
Crogan, for Attorney General. Mr. Cro-
gan is Que Of the byainiost young law
yers in the State, and if the Democratic
party wants TO add strength and OPP
ularity to the State ticket, they will
not hesitate to place him on the ticket.
Apart from Mr.. Crogan's acknowledged
qualifications for the position of Attor-
ney General, Preston is entitled to it.
Preston county has not had a represen-
tatiye upon the State ticket within the
knowledge of the writer. We have
always been "hewer of wood and
drawer of water" for the party. We
have never received any encouragement
from the Democratic party IN the past
campaigns. They look upon Preston
as hopclessly lost Still we stand up
and be counted every time, and in
the last Congressional election Preston
was the ONLY county in the Second Con-
gressional district that held her own.
Every other county fell behind. We
are Democrats from principle. We
Poll much larger vote than many
Democratic counties
Gentlemen of the Democratic State
convention, give us p. j. Crogan for
Attorney General and we promise you
an increased Democratic vote in the
banner Republican county of West
Virginia.

OUR CONVENTION.

The Democracy of this county held a
convention here on Thursday last to Sc
lect delegates to the State and Congress
sional conventions, full report of
which will be found elsewhere.
1t was one of the most harmonious and
enthusiastic conventions ever held in
this county. The hurrahs for Clevand
and Thurman were loud and long 1t
differed in many respects from the Re-
publican convention of two weeks ago.
Those who attented the Republican con-
vention will remember that the names
of Harrison and Morton were never
mentioned. We could not blame them
as certain defeat stood staring them in
the face and they had not the courage
to enthuse. Not so with Democrats.
They know VICTORY has already
perched upon their banner, and their
enthusiasm knew no bounds.
We have made good beginning /;
letus keepit up. The Democratic par
ty has leader at its head, and the
President party at his back, and we
are going to sweep tho country and adj
monish Republicans to clear the track.

nal takes exceptions to the ARGUS in
characterizing the alleged Republican
convention the doc Lanham Conven-
tion," and arrogantly proclaims the
ARGUS has no influence. We would
politely say to him that the ARGUS has
never aspired to the dignity of inAu-

humiliating and calling to his collosal
brain to see DR.. Lanham running the
convention, while one word from his
endowed intellect would have reyolu-
tionized the whole convention. But
he sat there like the Egyptian mummy

when the better elements IN Mr..

posing him from the chairmanShip of
the executive committee, his star SETH a
gloom from which it may never emerge.
1t is thought the ex-senator has been
industriously laying his pipes for the
