A New S0ufh.

George W. Cable, son of the
South whose head was turned by the
grateful incense of New England's
fiattery, says that he cannot find
any change in the South, and lea
ding Republican organ indorses the
opinion of negro agitators that
sit is still the same old South"
If this was true it would be a
proof that the war was indeed a
failure, and that the Republican
policy of reconstruction and the rule
of that party during twenty of the
years since the close of the great
conflict were something worse than
a failure.
But the assumption is too-ob-
viously and preposterously untrue
to require exposure in detail. With
slavery dead without a mourner,
and secession no more living issue
than the separation of the American
colonies from Great Britain, how
can there be any talk of the
same old South?" Free men, free
speech, free press and free schools
constitute q new South in them.
selves.
But the industrial revolution in
that section is quite as radical as
are the political and institutional
changes. Within the last three
years more than eight thousand six
hundred new business enterprises
manufactures, mills, mining compan-
les and the like-were organized at
the South. Thousands of miles of
new railroad have been constructed
there. Agriculture has become more
diversified. The spirit and aspect
of that section are utterly changed.
The man who pirates OF 1.-The same
old South" may be safely set down
as one who is disappointed because
negro enfranchisement has not
wholly realized its object of keeping
white Republicans perpetually in
office and turning over to partisan
looters the Southern States as part
of the spoils Of victory.-N. y.

The Legislature Ought to Meet

The committee on the contest for
Governor has finished the evidence.
1t ought not to require more than a
few days to make up their report.
1t is now the duty of Gov. Wilson
to have the Legislature at the Capt.
tai without an hours delay beyond
the legal limit.
This is not only right but it is
eminently expedient.
Whoever is entitled to the office
of Governor ought to be there, exer-
cising its functions just as soon as
he can be legally installed.
If the Republicans are entitled to
the office it is clearly their right to
have the office just as soon as their
title can be established, and every
day they are kept out of it beyond
what is necessary, is wrong, and an
injury to the Democratic party.
If Judge Fleming is entitled to it
as the report of the committee will
show-then Governor Fleming, and
not Governor Wilson, should be
there.
And of all persons concerned we
think, that as a matter of delicacy,
Governor Wilson ought to be most
anxious to surrender at the earliest
moment. The time of the meeting
of the Legislature is in his hands,
and he ought to feel a delicacy in
postponning it one day longer than
is absolutely necessary.
As matter of fact the commit
tee could have abundance of time to
make up their report after the call
of the Legislature is made, and be-
fore it meets, and every day that the
call is now postponed places Gov.
Wilson in an attitude before the
State that is sure to prompt unfav-
orable criticism.
Let tie Legislature come together
on the double quick.

Municipal Taste.

There is n-fower growing on
one of our principal streets that is
eight feet and six inches high by
actual measurement. There is a
crop of tomato vines, on the same
street, large enough to supply a
small family, which have grown up
during the present season and borne
fruit. There is growth of weeds
high and dense enough to hide a
flock of sheep or a herd of small
cattle.
This is one of the principal and
most conspicuous streets in town,
and the labor of an ordinary hand
for one day, at $l,25 per day, would
have cleaned this street and made it
respectable; while for the want OF
one days labor at 1925, every man
who has come to this town during
the summer has gazed on that street
and that crop of weeds and wondered
II there was municipal government
for this town or whether it was run
on the free and -go-easy plan of the
backwoods village.
We may build water works and
gas works and have railroads and
steamboat lines, and all the appli.
ances of first class town, but if al
the same time the town is allowed to
be grown over with weeds there is
not a stranger who will believe in it
there is not a capitalist who can be
made believe that property in such
a condition is of any value; and
there is no ambition or feeling Of
pride that any citizen may cherish
for his town that will not be defeat
ed by this neglectful, sloyenly and
and inexcusable policy.
The people are demanding and VIC
hope they will continue to demand q
new deal in this direction,

upon which the President acted ia
ID the matter Of Tanners resignation.
Hr. Tanner, in his letter, assumes
that that investigation had been
closed. Bussey's reported intention
of continuing il, now that its main
purpose has been achieved in Tan
ner's retirement, will make trouble
unless sat down upon. 1t will prob
ably he squelcacd.
Corporal Tanner hao thus far re-
PEELED with scorn the different posi-
lions which have bcca offered him.
It is believed that he will settle down
here and become . pension claim
agent. George E. Lemon and w.
w. Dudley, the two most successful
men in that business at present, are
bidding one against the other for
the use Of his name as a partner.
He will probably go in with Dud-
ley. There is money in it. The ex-
Commissioner has a pleasant home at
Georgetown, which he has leased for
year. He has two sons attending
Georgetown College and two daugh-
tiers in Government employ at good
salaries.
Secretary Noble, being asked to-
night if it was true that be had
given Commissioner Tanner a certifi.
cate of good character, said it was
so; that throughout the whole in.
vestigation there had been nothing
whatever discovered which reflected
in the slightest degree on Mr.. Tan
ner's personal integrity.
THE only thing against him."
added the Secretary" was official
incompetency, and that was shown
to be simply stupendous. There is
more evidence of that than has yet
been made public in any form or
than paobably ever will be. Mr..
Tanner throws the onus of this whole
thing upon me. Well 1 can stand
it. l felt that l was dead right
from the first, and know that l am
dead right now"
The Secretary expressed himself
with some indignation about report
sent out that there has been a
scene or personal alteration be-
tween himself and Secretary Tracy
about the matter. He held in his
hand a telegram from Secretary
Tracy, written just before he left for
New York this morning, suggesting
that it might be we'll to contradict
this absurd statement. and Secretary
Noble very forcibly did so.

Once upon time we had good
Agricultural Fair in this county.
For number Of years our people
turned ont annually to its exhibit
tions in great numbers. II was an
annual holiday for the county which
everybody heartily enjoyed. Farm
ers brought their fine colts, and
fat steers, and fancy stock to com
pete for the premiums and every
body was interested and profted. The
Fair company paid liberal premiums
from long distances and this made
the occasion doublv interesting.
The races, too, were an exciting
feature which raised the enthusiasm
of the crowd. No better races, and
no better class of fast horses were
ever seen at country fair, than
those which came every year to this.
On all sides it was agreed that
the Monongahela Valley fair was
the best in this section of the coun-
try. 1t had gained wide reputa-
ton, and it did our people and our
county great good. There is moth
ing which entertains and stimulates
the ambition of an agricultural com
munity like fair.
But in an evil day our fair asso-
citation was allowed to fail and dis
solve. Our people had better agreed
to abolish almost any other of our
public assemblages rather than this.
It's educational influence was very
valuable, and it was a pleasant
means of bringing our people togeth
er and stimulating the business of
the county.
We almost despair of establishing
another fair, and yet we think it
might be done gradually if the prop
er course were taken. We think our
enterprising citizen, Thos. r. Evans,
is laying the nucleus of fair at his
farm on the Flats. He is construct
ing fine half-mile track, chiefly for
the purpose of training his own ctlts.
But we think Mr.. Evans would find
it profitable to invite an annual com
petition at his track by all stock
raisers in the county. Let the COM
petitors make up the premiums
among themselves. There might
be speed premiums and premiums
for style, development and blood.
Then, at the close of the competition
there might be an auction sale of
such stock as the owners desired to
sell.
A horse fair, at least, could thus
be developed; and after while the
fair fever would grow until we would
want regular agricultural fair on
large scale.
And there is nothing our farmers
could make more profitable if they
only would.

A Hot Fight I'm Ohio.

The Democrats of Ohio are going
into the fall campaign with vigor
and think they have a chance to win
both the Goyernorship and a major
ity of the Legislature. Campbell,
the nominee for Governor, is popular
and will bring out full vote. He
was until recently protectionist in
sentiment and Democrat in princi-
pie. When the Mills bill came be-
fore the House he subordinated SEN
timent to principle and voted for
the Mills bill. He is now an out
and-out tariff reformer-like many
others who required time to get over
their timidity. Governor Foraker
is to be his Republican opponent
He has the machinery of the party
in hand, and Ohio is Republican
State. Still his running for third
term is not much liked by his party.
His conduct of the State government
also lays him open to attacks which
the Democrats are sure to make.
The Legislature is worth winning
for either party, and hot fight for
it is expected. A change in public
sentiment is required, of course, to
give the Democrats a chance. A
large gain of recruits from the Ger
mans or from the laboring classes is
required to make them successful.
But has there been any changer 1t
is asserted there has been. Tariff re-
form convictions have been growing
apace. Popular disgust with the
high tariff will, it is said, give the
State to the Democracy.

MSN fRESS SUITS. When man

+ best. He cannot do this in
a suit that is of Indifferent style, in
ferior quality, or ill-6tting. One
Of the reasons that some men feel
awkward in a dress suit, is that they
can't feel at home in it. The suit
is tight ; it drags, pulls, or wrinkles,
and the mind is, SO to speak, con-
stantly oppressed by the sense Of
physical discomfort. There is no
reason for this condition of things.
If after all the progress and expert
ence in clothing the human body
clothes can't be made to fit easily
and gracefully, it is time to quit or
go to school. We offer our Gus
toners a line ofgoods in dress suits
that are made in. the best style OF
the tailor's art and are bound to
give satisfaction in the wear, as
well as ease to the wearer. These
suits cost no more than an inferior
article and yet give the buyer a
double value in their fine quality

WHAT rs
SCROFULA

1t is that impurity in the blood, which, ac-
cumulating in the glands Of the neck, pro-
duces unsightly Jumps or swellings; which
causes painful running sores on the arms,
legs, or feet; which developes ulcers in the
eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; which is the origin of pimples, can
cerous growths, or the many other manifesto
tons usually ascribed to "humors;" which,
fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption
and death. Being the most ancient, it is the
most general Of all diseases or affections, for
very few persons are entirely free from 1t.
