WHAT THFY ARE DOING AT CHAR
LESION.

CHARLESTON. w. VA, January
2O.-The fight in the Democratic
ranks over the election OF an Unit
ed States Senator has come to a
head. The conference which met
last night continued its deliberations
until early this morning. The con-
tending factions could reach no
agreement whatever. No terms
were announced by the antl-kenna
men on which they would 60 into
caucus. Their leaders, however, ln-
timated clearly that they would not
submit TO the usual majority rule.
One proposition was that the vote OF
three .fourths of the members should
be required to nominate. The iol'
lowers of Senator Kenna refused IL
peremptorily.
On "a clear poll of the forty SIX
Democrats in the Legislature, thirty
five of them are found to favor Ken
ma: the other eleven are strongly OPP
posed to him. Under ordinary cir
cumstances this would amount &c
nothing. but the Democratic MAJOR

ENNUI.

Huge are the mountains that rear their
tall forms,
Bold, barren and bleak, to Winter wild
storms;
But greater than mountains the weight
of my care,
And colder than Winter s the blast of de-
spair
That sweeps down the field of my
hopes.
Deep is the snow-drift that lies meath
the hill;
Chill in the Winters arms sleepeth the
rill -
But deeper the woe-drifts that lie on my
heart,
And colder than ice-drifts that never will
part
From chilling, and killing my joys.
Drear are the meadow lands covered
with snow;
Dismal the black clouds that fit
to and fro -
But, drearier far are the fields that
More dense are the shadows that hide me
from home
And shut out the lights Of the past.
Lone is that sailor who Bullets the wave
When his proud, gallant ship finds wa.
terry grave
But lonelier far, he who stems the wild
tide
OF Adversity's Ocean, deep sounding
and wide.
When Faith, Hope, and Love have
been wrecked.

Are we to Have Another Warl

Some political prophets aver than we shall.
Be that as it may, the battle waged by medi-
cal science against disease will never cease
until we arrive at that utopian epoch when
the human family shall cease TO be afflicted
with bodily ailments. One of the most po-
tent weapons which the armory of medicine
furnishes, is Hostetters Stomach Bltters,
which is of special utility as family remedy,
as it is adapted to the immediate relief and Ill
innate cure OF those disorders of The stomach
liver and bowels which are of commonest oc-
currence. Indigestion. biliousness and con.
stipaLion are inseparable companions, and
these ailments are completely eradicated by
the Bitters. But the remedial scope of this
superlatively wholesome and genial medicine
takes in also nervous ailments, rheumatism
and kidney troubles its action in these, as in
the other complaints, being characterized by
uneaualed thoroughDess.

A change has come over the S

A change has come over the spir-
it of Democratic leadership since
the election, and the party is fast
taking up some of the best Republi-
can principles and getting onto the
old track again. They are ready
and willing to admit the Territories,
to do which they refused for four
years before. Randall is back in
the confidence OF the party, and has
the consideration of the reduction OF
revenue on tobacco all his own way.
where before the Mills Committee
had charge and fought TO reduce the
revenue on imports (break down
protection) and keep the 'war
taxes up on the internal revenue
plan. Even our own representative
in the U. S. Senate, Mr.. Faulkner,
who before the election was such al
ardent admirer of the Mills Tariff
reform Free Trade) ideas. and an
able advocate of free raw material
aud presidential craftsmanship, now
relies the political weight of the
protective tariff sentiment in West
Virginia; and last week joined with
the Henry G. Davis kind OF Demo
Gratis and argued against free coal,
the belt states bordering the Pc
tomac not being ready yet by many
years for free trade in coal. On the
same grounds there is no consisten-
cy in favoring free lumber aud Tree
wool, and public sentiment in West
Virginia, and her interests, are as
much in antagonism to the one as
to the other. Let them settle it in
their own party; the Republican
road is clearer now in this State
than ever before.

OUR SAY.

In looking over the Journal of
Proceedings of West Va. State
Grange meeting, held at New Hay-
en-, October %, 1886, we came across
the address of DIR. L. F. Roush, de.
livered on that occasion, and read
ing it through we found the follow
ing extract, so sound and pertinent
that we can't refrain from reproduc.
ing it here:
"And now to the young farmer /
wish to speak words of encourage
ment, of high hope and expectation
for the future. Do not too hastily
leave the farm for the purpose of
following professional life or to
hunt employment in the towns and
cities. The life of the farmer is the
most independent. The world of
knowledge, power and influence is
within your grasp, as we'll as the
professional men, if You will only
quality yourselves to act well yOur
part. Qualify yourselves-there
lies everything. Position IN society,
political influence are all yours if
you will only prepare yourselves for
the duties involved in your position.
But you will ask the question,
how are we to make this prepare
ton? Oar time is all taken up on
the farm, and when we work hard
we have little disposition for study
or the improvement of the mind.
So is the professional mans time
taken up with his professional du
ties, but he must study. Ii rot he
falls behind his professional broth
ers, and so will you fall behind your
energetic neighbor. Read while
waiting for breakfast or dinner, on
rainy days, and in the winter time.
Take agricultural books and Jour-
nails, and read them. Practice what
strikes you good thing; prove all
things; hold fast to all things good ;
join yourselves to farmers club or
Grange organization discuss ques.
tions relating to agriculture, and
get yourself interested in what re-
lates to your own practical business.
Don't let the foolish prejudice of your
neighbor deter you from connecting
yourself with a farmers club, be.
cause herein lies one of the meaus
of your advancement. You will
learn to think and to speak in these
organizations, beside the new ideas
you will get from others by associa
ton. Every industry, trade or pro
fession have their organizations, and
so must you have yours, and you
must not be apologists for belonging
to the same. 1t is a credit for you
to have membership in such organi
cations, and nothing but ignorance
and prejudice will keep you from be
longing. Organizations OF this kind
are not simply combinations against
somebody else, and should not he
looked at in this light; and are not
only by those who are ignorant Of
their objects. They are for your
own mutual advancement and in,
proyemept.D- Friend.

ty is slender that the revolt OF a sim
gle member would be fatal. The
anti Kenna men are ready at any
moment to start the revolt. They
must be pacified, if possible, aud to
morrow night another conference
will be called for that purpose. The
breach, however, has been widened
today, by charges made in reference
to Kenna's tactics in the last cleo
ton. These were carefully worked
up by his opponents, but held back
to the last hour. They charge that
he used the campaign funds to work
ont his personal ends. In Logan,
Nicholas and other counties it is
charged that he used it to defeat the
regular Democratic nominees for
the Legislature with men who were
personally pledged to him. Kenna
denies it.
The Republicans will raise a ques-
ton over the possibility Of electing
senator next Tuesday. The law
requires taat he shall be elected on
the second Tuesday after the meet
ing and organization of the two
houses. The Senate has not yet or
ganized, and they say senator Gao
not be chosen until it has. A COM
mittee of Democratic lawyers are
now considering the question for
their party. They will report to-mor
row night. If the Democrats insist
on going on with the election there
will be a split in the Legislature.
The Republicans will refuse to go in
to Joint session, and can easily hold
joint session of their own at the
proper time, at which Golf will be
elected senator.
The contest will then be carried to
the United States Senate.

SECURITY FOR HIS MONEY.

In the old days when much travel
ing was done on horseback, bank.
er had occasion to make q business
journey of many miles. He was a
man who fancied himself an infidel
not an open scoffer, but IN a gen
tlemanly and quiet manner an inf
del. On this journey he had with him
handbills to the amount of twenty
five thousand dollars. When he came
to lonely forest where murderers
and robbers where said to be fire.
quent, he was soon lost through
taking the wrong road. The dark
ness Of the night came quickly over
him, and how to escape IRON threat
ening danger he knew not. In his
alarm he espied in the distance a
dim light, and urging his horse on
ward, he came at length to wretch
ed cabin. He knocked, and the
door was opened by woman, who
said that her husband was out hunt
ing, but would soon return. The
banker put up his horse and entered
the hut. Here he was with "a large
sum Of money, and perhaps in the
house of one of the very robbers
whose name was a terror to the
country.
In short time the man of the
house returned. He had on q deer.
skin shirt, and bearskin hat, seem
ed fatigued, and was in no laxative
mood. All this BODIED the infidel no
good. He felt for his pistols in his
pockets, and placed them so as to
be ready for instant use, The man
asked the stranger to retire to bed,
but he declined, saying he would sit
by the fire all night. The man urged,
but the more he urged the more the
infidel became alarmed. He felt as
sured that this was his last night on
earth, but he determined to sell his
life as dearly as he could. His inf.
del principles gave him no comfort.
What was to be donei
At length the backwoodsman
arose, and reaching to the wooden
shelf, he took down an old book, and
said -
swell, stranger, if yon won't go
to bed, I will /; but it is my habit to
read a chapter of the Bible before l
CO."
What a change did these words
produce! Alarm was at once remov.
ed from the skeptlc's mind. AL.
though avowing himself an infidel
he now had confidence in the Bible
He felt safe. He felt that a mar
who kept an old Bible in his house
and read 1T, and bent the knee il
prayer of the good man, at once dis
missed all his fears, and lying dowr
he slept as calmly Us he did under
his own roof.
