ANoTHOR ORGAN FOR VICTORY.

The Weekley Blizzard, published
at Harrisyillc, by j. j. Haddox, a
bright young man only eighteen
years of age, has come out on the
side of Tariff Reform and true
democracy. In the issue of Oct. IL
the Blizzard hoists the glorious old
banner of Democracy to the breeze
and comes out strong for tariff re-
form. The reasons given are man
fold and the argument is unanswer-
able. We would like to quote from
this very forcible and expressive
article, if space would allow us.
The paper is to be enlarges next
month to an eight column quarto,
and will then be able to do good
work for the grand old party it has
espoused. We congratulate our
esteemed contemporary on this evil
dence of sense and success.

VETERANS

New YORK, Oct. I0.-The fol-
lowing resolutions were passed by
Farnham Post G.. A. r. No. 14S.at
a meeting held in WendelFs Assem-
bly, rooms:
"WHEREAs, 1t is apparent to this
post that the action Of some govern
ment Officials and the ill-consider-
ed talk Of come popularity-seeking
legislator s(notably Senator ingalls,,
Of Kansas in regard to the pension
laws, are calculated to do serious
injury to the hard won reputation
of good soldiers, and to the Grand
Army +; and,
WHEREAS, The only veterans
who are of right entitled to pension
are those whose pecuniary circum-
stances are so unfortunate as to
Justify them in burdeningthe coun-
try with their support, and who by
wounds or disability incurred in the
service Of the country as combatants
are prevented from earning a living
IN their respective callings, as they
might have done had such wounds
or disabilities not been incurred 4;
and,
"WHEREAs, The Grand Army Of
the Republic is an association or
gained for the purpose Of enabling
old soldiers tc take care Of them
selves and each other and,
WHEREAS, As much real patriot
ism may be displayed by RETAINING
in time Of peace from i|nficting
unnecessary burdens ON the country
as by coming TO her defense IN time
Of war therefore be it
"Heso'red, That any old soldier
who applies for or accepts a pension
except under the conditions above
sen iorJh Is, ln the opinion Of this
post, guilty Of conduct calculated to
injure the good men who were and
are willing to give their blood and
their lives for the country without
amy reward beyond The approval Of
their condolences and that honorable
fame which is dear to every patriot;
and,
"Resolred, That this post strongly
condemns any attempt to make use
of the Grand Army Of the Republic
for political purposes, or as an en-
CINE to adm dissipatingtbo surplus
that has been accumulated iu the
Government Treasury b. unwiso
and unnecessary taxation.

One of the passengers who came
in On the II. X. & f. the other
night and got here about midnight,
in speaking of it to us, said that the
rail road was alright so far as it
went, but that it was not complete
and the company should add a
Sleeper and Dining Car as the trip
was too long to make, in comfort,
without them.

WHERE is NATHAN!

Yes, but you know and everybody
else knows that not one cent of this
money would have been paid out if
Grover Cleveland had been elected
President or the Mills bill had be-
come a law irginiaR.
On the contrary, dear boy, the
West Fork railroad and coal enter
prise was conceived and set on foot
under the glorious and clean handed
Cleveland administration and every
dollar that has been or will be put
into it was pledged while the Mills
bill was at its liveliest. If Grover
Cleveland had been reelected and
the Mills bill become a law, the adj
ded cheerfulness with which this
Democratic money would be paid
out would probably astound you
Iatder.
Gen. Golf has not invested one
cent in West Virginia enterprises
since the defeat of Grover Cleveland
and the Mills bill. He above all
other West Virginisns should be
investing largely in West Virginia
enterprises since we are assured of
four years more of tariff and Har.
rison. But we suppose Nathan is
like the rest of the Republicans,
taking it out in GLORY" as the
EagIe-SentineI would remark.

ALAS. HOME

And now it transpires that our
coke Is shipped to England. A
better price can be secured for it in
England than America. We shall
expect the home marketer, the
journal, to enter its earnest protest
against the shipping of our coke to
foreign markets. No, we are too
fast. Don't the JOurnal tell us that
the entire output of the saw mills
in Preston county is shipped to

Gen. Schofeld has amended the
army regulations, in the hope Of
being able to secure IA better class
Of men for recruits.
The appointment Of Raum is be-
LEVIED to be a result Of a conference
Of leading Republicans, including
such men as Steve Elkins. QUAY
and W. W. Dudley held here last
week. 1t was stated at this confer
nee by a representative OF Foraker
that unless this pension business
was settled Mt onee and to the sat
isfaction of the G.. A. r., the Re.
%publicans in Ohio had as well give
up the fight in advance. The con-
ference then brought a heavy pres
sure to bear on President Harrison.
hence the appointment.
The two Illinois Senators were
taken entirely by surprise when
kaum was appointed Commissioner
OF Pensions. They had presented
IA candidate and been assured that
If the place was given to Illinois he
should have it. 1t did not take the
Senators long, however, to turn up
bright and smiling endorsing the
new commissioner. Such is politics.

NEW YORK LETTER.
rom our regular correspondent,


New YORK, October 21, 1889.
The question o fwhat shall be done
with the electric light and telegraph
wires has again been forced upper
most by the horrible death of line
man Feeks, who was slowly roast ted
for nearly an hour by the electric
current on top of a telegraph pole,
in sight of ten thousand people.
This is the eighth victim of the
deadly current inside Of eighteen
months, and public feeling has been
aroused to snch a pitch that some
thing must be done without delay to
prevent futher sacrifice. 1t looked
at one time as if the city would
order every pole chopped down i'm
mediately, and in fact.something of
the sort was done by the Mayor. but
the companies sued out an iniunc-
ton, the result being the shutting
off of nearly every electric light in
the city. Darkness has therefore
been orr lot during the past week,
except in places where gas or OIL was
tillayailable. The Board of Healths
has taken a hand in the fight and
demands that the amount Of cleo
tricty in the wires be reduced to a
point Of safety, or, to use an express
sion new on eyeryone's lips, $50
"yolts." Bv the way, one of the
most interesting developements
about this whole electric excitement
is the glibness with which everyone
speaks of the subject. Volts, am
peres, dynamos, alternating cur
rents, incandescent systte'fTns. ect..
are a few Of the terms which are
flung at us in a very indiscriminate
manner from every side. Truly.
we are only beginning to realize the
power Of this wondrous force, we
are only standing on the threshold
Of an age III which electricity will
be king.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, ID. c.,
Oct. 21, 1889.

PRESIDENT Harrison has ended the
agony by appointing Green b.
Raum, of Illinois, ex-congressman
and ex-commisioner of Internal
Revenue, Commissioner Of Pensions
Mr.. Raum although credited to Ill
inois has for twenty years been a
resident of this city. The appoint
ment is generally regarded as a
good one for the administration.
1t is believed that if anybody can
succeed in getting the badly mixed
up Pension office in order again
without a political row, Raum is
the man.
The appointment and the pub
lication by Secretary Noble, a few
hours previously, of the correspond
ence between himself and Tanner,
is relied upon by President Har-
rison to placate the disgruntlcd G..
A. r. men. But Tanner is prepar-
ing a statement in regard to the
correspondence, so that it will be
well enough to wait awhile before
attempting to form an opinion.
The portion of the correspondence
given out by Secretary Noble makes
a fair yindication for President Har-
rison, and | understand that it was
by his direction hat it was given
out. 1t shows Tanner to have been
entirely unfit for the office, in more
way than one.
Secretary Window has declined
to change the Treasury ruling which
admits silver lead ore from Mexico
duty free.
Leyel-headed democrats here ex-
press regrets for the dispute now
going on between the friends of
Gov. Hill and Mr.. Cleveland. If
the democratic party is to enter the
next Presidential campaign divided
into two factions it may as well
abandon all hope of success.
Washington will be doomed as
the place for holding the Worlds
Exposition of 1892 by represent
atives from thirty States that are to
meet here this week. Every day
Washington grows stronger.
Indications r already cropping
out that The Three Americana
Congress is to be used as a lever
upon u own Congress to accom-
plish the passage ola bill subsidis-
ing n or lines Of steamers to

Sunday Services.

Services were conducted by Rev. M. E. MUIR
ply. His sermon review of the purposes
for which the season of Advent appointed by
the Church. A short extract from the sermon
follows:
These four weeks of Advent preceding the great
time of prayer in which to prepare for the
ing of Christ, and to enable man to realize that
Christ will come to all in some manner God Wis
its the world in many FORMS and must ever be
prepared for our meeting with Him, in whatsoever
form it may come,
When people are prosperous and glory in
their worldly achievements they are apt to forget
their God, to whom their success is due. When a
nation an ind dual abandons God it is sure
forerunner OF their early decay and fall from
righteousness The vistations of God come to US
sometimes as temporal punishment and to re-
mind us of our duty to Him. Such visitations are
not confined to the wicked. He manifests himself
to the good, in the case of Job, to test their
faith and chasten them the more in this world
that they may be the better prepared to enjoy the
great treasure He has in store for them.
The lesson that the Church would teach us at
this is to sanctify souls in the sight of
God and to school ourselves in humble submission
to His divine will. Let us, therefore, during this
holy season prepare to meet our Saviour and do
honor to His holy name, for they that fear the
Lord will keep his commandments"
