Col. Joe Snider said in the hearing
of the NEW DOMINION Saturday that
should he be present at another SEES
sion of the Senate it would not be to
be dict aied to. and further "that
some of the ring-leaders of my own
party are possessed Of the least po-
litical sagacity have ever come in
contact with" We agree with the
Colonel quite heartily on the last
quotation, as it is something we've
known for 10, these many.
Postmaster General Wanamaker
is reported as sounding the keynote
to the mail system as follows: II
want to keep the mail bag open to
the latest possible minute, then get
it to its destination in the shortest
possible time, and then to get each
separate piece of mail to the person
for whom it is meant in the quickest
possible way" That's noble i'm
pulse, John, but il you improve on
your worthy immediate predecessor
we'll acknowledge the corn and say
you can do something besides sell
dry goods and teach a Sunday school
class.
Ten States of the Union will hold
elections in November next. and the
contests will probably he fought on
the same line as in the campaign of
last year. 1t is certainly to be hop
ell that the Democratic party will
make an active campaign every where,
and so far as possible, retrieve the
failures of last November. 1t is the
party Of the people, and the people
will be with it when they learn by
dear experience that they have made
fools Of themselves by lending their
aid to the party of trusts. monopo

continue to work for the success of
our cause until victory perches on
our banners.

of Henry Stanley's trip Through
the Dark Continent" wondered that
he should have exhibited the hardi
hood for another and similar ven

most He went in at Zanzibar black
haired and young. He came out at
the mouth of the Congo gray-haired,
old, and apparently broken. And
now, when age has grown upon him,
he is again fighting the savages, the
Arabs, the sun, the jungle, and the
fever. It is a wonderful story of hui
man endurance that his letter tells,
midway in the course. The whole
civilized world, and, especially, the
newspaper world, hopes that he will
live to glorious finish. If he dies,
it will be with the harness on.
The faithful and sturdy Democrats
of Monongalia should not go unrec-
ognized when the appointments are
made for Commissioners OF the Re

Morgan would do we'll also 10 keep
some of his friends in this section in
his mind. None of the appointments,
excepting that of Mr.. Morgan, who
is president ex-ofiicio, have been
made. To become a Commissioner
gives influence to secure the school
and it is now well understood that
Morgantown is a candidate for Sc
curing the Reform School, though
as yet no great effort to that end has
been made, excepting by the New
DOMINION, which strongly urges the
matter. Some one of our people APP

may have then soldier foundation
on which to base our claims.
