HOlU Men Die.

If we know all the methods of approach
adopted by an enemy we are the better en-
abled to ward off the danger and postpone
the moment when surrender becomes iney-
liable. In many instances the inherent
strength Of the body sullices TO enable it to
oppose the tendency toward death. Many
however have lost these forces to such an
extent that there is little or no help In
other cases little aid to the weakened
Lungs will make all the difference between
sudden death and many years of useful life

Hon. Henry 5. Walker made one OF his
characteristic speeches Saturday; all West
Virginia knows what that means, for there
is scarcely locality in the confines of the
State where his silvery eloquence and con-
yincing arguments have net strengthened
the ardor of the democracy and won many
from the ranks Of republieanism to heparty
of the people. More pungent wit, more
scathing sarcasm than Mr.. Walkers never
unmasked republican pretenses or singed
republican candidate; and after hearing his
expose of Gen. GoH we cannot contain our
admiration for that gentleman's good sense
and discretion in avoiding joint debate
The Republican State Convention was ridi-
culed, that party's connection with State al
fairs discussed and the record of its guber-
Material candidate reviewed. Gen. Golf
remarks here on Wednesday received con-
siderable attention. The tariff was treated
i'm a most effective way, and the national
candidates of both parties were not over
looked Gen. Harrison's ancestral line
and personal claims upon American voters
were particularly considered. He ended
with magnificent comparison Of the poll
cies of the two parties as represented ana
embodied in Grover Cleveland on the one
hand and Messrs Blaine and Carnegie on
the other. A big and enthusiastic crowd
listened for more than two hours and a half,
shouted till they were hoarse and laughed
themselves sick.

The Joint debate between Hon. I'm. L.
Wilson and Gen. Golf at Coal Valley passed
off without discourteous interruption of the
speakers. The Register correspondent says :;
"The Democrats were largely in the ma
iority i'm the audience, and if they had so de-
sired could have made it very unpleasant for
the Little General and his claquers, but they
preferred TO leave that work to Mr.. Wilson
and he performed it in q most artistic man
ner With q fair field and free fight, he
left Gen. Golf without an inch of ground un-
der him. Hehad him lame from the begin

never has been before in iointdebate in this
state. Mr.. lIilson was on his mettle and

did not and could not be induced to discuss

the ground of broad generalities, and even

Democratic Prospects tn Vest Virginta

Mr.. Hutchinson, private Secretary to SEN
ator Kenna, arrived here yesterday from a
long jaunt through West Virginia, where
the Senator has been making a series of cam
paign speeches. Mr.. Hutchinson says the
outlook in that State is as bright as can be,
from a Democratic standpoint. Senator
Kenna has travelled over almost every foot of
ground in the State, and addressed the peo-
pie on the great issue of the day. The peo-
pie are all clamoring for reduction of the
tax, " as they call it, and they promise to give
Cleveland and Thurman majority of from
5000 to 5000. Mr.. Kenna has made 4
speech in almost every legislative district in
the State, and he has conferred with every
Democratic candidate for the Legislature,
and estimates the Democrats will have ma
jority on joint ballot in that body of from
sixteen to twenty one Washington Cores

Twenty thousand business men marched
through the rain and mud in New York
city on Saturday afternoon and were re-
viewed by President Cleveland from stand
erected opposite the Worth monument, at
Madison Square Great enthusiasm pre-
vailed. Mayor Abram S. Hewitt had a
pleasant chat with the President on the
stand. Sheriff Grant, the Tammany can
didate for mayor, and Mr.. Hewitt shook
hands, Mr.. Hewitt remarking, "This is not
across the bloody chasm." Col. William
G.. Rice, Gov. Hills secretary, called on
President Cleveland and presented the Gov
errors compliments and his regrets that he
could not be present at the review with the
President on account of an engagement to
speak at Herkimer.

The British Minister having practically
endorsed gross reflections upon the conduct
of this government, and being no longer ac-
ceptable to the administration, and his gov
eminent having failed to recall him as re-
quested, the President has notified him that
he must go. Foreign interference with our
domestic affairs viii not be tolerated. The
Presidents action is approved by every pa
triot in the land. Col. Ward II. LamOn, for
merly private secretary to President Lin
coin, said Tuesday night that it was useless
for any one to try and deny the fact that
President Cleveland has by his act to-day
not only won back the Irish vote, but has
also won the admiration of every true Amer
lean citizen. Looking at the subject from a
political standpoint, Mr.. Lamon says it will
surely strengthen the President in the New
England States, and it looks as though he
has completely upset the Republican calcu-
lations.

The editor of the Lntelligencer IS doubtless

SAYS the democrats will defray the expenses

courtesy to Mr. Wilson on Saturday. By the

silence of the ruffians who interrupted Mr..
Wilson-but he didn't do anything to still the
tempest 1t wasn't part of the programme for
him to interpose in behalf of decorum and de-
