THE FACTS.

The Journal is off as usual about
Colporteur McRa making Bro.
Burke and ourself present Of the
Good Book. After q consultation
the Times and ARGUS agreed that
the man Of the J0urnal was sadly
deficient in his knowledge Of the
contents Of the Good Book, and it
was agreed that his mixing the Good
Book, Shakespeare, Protection and
the tenets ofthe Harmonizing Com
mittee together in order to down
Phoraoh Of the Era, was very hui
initiating TO his many friends. We
made known the condition Of our
finance to Colportcur McRa and our

The ARGUS bids you thrice
welcome, Soldiers, and trusts
that you enjoy your encamp-
ment for a few days among us.
In behalf of the citizens of
Kingwood it extends to .7ou
the freedom of the city. Take
it; make yourselves at home.
You deserve well at the hands
of our country, and no one
recognizes your deeds of valor
and service to your country
more than the people of our
town. We are glad to have
you with us, if only for a few
days.

THEY have kicked up a rumpus
of considerable magnitude in Au-
gusta, Maine, over the appointment
of an assistant postmaster. Joseph
III. Manly has received the appoint
ment of postmaster, and many of
those who signed his petition say
they did so with the understanding
that l.. b. Hill be given the assist
ants chair. But one Walter Stin-
son, relative of James G.. Blaine,
steps in and asks for the appoint
ment of assistant postmaster, and
it is supposed that Mr.. Blaine is ex-
erting all his powerful influence in
his relatives behalf, which is in ac-
cordance with the teachings of Ben
Harrison. Mr.. Hill is a grand
army man and exceedingly popular
with his party and they promise to
to make things interesting for Bro.
Jim if he is not given the appoint
ment. Preston has company in pro-
noting the boys who wore the short
dresses.

WE WOULD just ask those Repub-
licans who honestly voted for Pro-
lection, believing it would better
their condition, what they think Of
Harrison and Protection bv this
time? If a farmer, have YOU found
a better "fhome market" for your
products than you did under the
Cleveland administration ? II a
workingman, have you found plenty
Of work and better wages than YOU
received for the last four years F.? II
you are not blinded with political
prejudices you will have TO admit
you were a great deal better OF an.
der the Cleveland administration
than you are to-day, and the nowery
promises made by the Republican
party during the campaign is about
as near the truth 81 that monopo-
listic party generally gets.

INDEPENDENCE.

Our village has not been reported
to the county Democratic paper for
long time, hence we send YOU a
few items.
The L. o. G. T. lodge, of this
place, gave II festival on Tuesday
and Wednesday evenings, and real
lied the snug sum of twenty-five
dollars with which to buy regalia.
Boom the ARGUS, dear friends.
If we are the vultures, as the man at
lrondale pictures IT'S from the fable,
let us get good square feed. Let
us have the first banquet from the
remains of that shattered, but once
hopeful "Boss," the Harmonizer.
independence will open her arms,
and, showing her great affection
for pure literature, receive the AR
Gus with loving caresses.

The kanawha Gazette wants the
young men to the front. So does
the ARGUS, but it don't want the
older men to the rear. It cares
nothing about age and previous SER
vitude. What it would advise is
for every Democrat TO buckle on the
armor and 90 to work. There is
plenty Of work for both old and
young. "Old men for counsel and
young men for war" is a pretty good
maxim to be governed by.
We think the young men are al
ready in the front ranks. What
State has sent younger Senators to
Washington than West Virginia ?
Her Congressmen are comparatively
young men. Then take our State
Officers. They are young enough
Tor oll purposes. The West Viz
ians appointed by the Cleveland adj
ministratiOn we're men who would
come under the classification Of
young, viz. Miller, Uassler. Birch.

SO LONG as Gen. Golf gained
votes by the recount everything was
honorable and fair; but when the
tables were turned and COTS So
called majority of one hundred and
fifty majority dwindled down to
thirty-fve majority, the Republican
papers begin to cry fraud ~ 1t is
the old cry of "stop, thief - 1t
will deceive no one.

ONE of President Harrison's best
appointments is that of Frederick
Douglass as Minister to Hayti. Mr..
Douglas is an able, upright man,
and as a founder of the Republican
party he is entitled to this recogni-
ton. The Haytians will doubtless
quit fighting when they hear that
Mr.. Douglass is coming to live
among them.

IT NAY be little worrying to the
patience of our uptown naighbor,
the Journal, to call its attention so
frequently to the fact that the din
ner buckets of the workmen are
open to receive their share of Pro-
lection, but its repeated promises
during the campaign that Protection
would fill them, demands a jogging
of the memory occasionally.

WHEN Golf could gain a vote on
the merest technicality Maxwell and
Morris would vote that way. But
the time came when the technically
business was in favor of Judge
Fleming, SO the Senators from Har-
rison and Richie say it is all wrong
to throw ont votes on a technicality
and vote against that which they had
previously voted for.

Foot Disease Among Cattle.

KEAKNEY, Neb., May 2. Especial Tele-
gram to The BEE. There are reports of
dangerous cattle disease among some of the
animals on ranch about four miles south of
Gibbon. The feet of the animals drop off
after a short illness. 1t is said that about
twelve head of cattle have died within a few
weeks and number of the animals are still
suffering from the disease. Farmers in the
neighborhood are worrying to ascertain
whether che trouble is contagious. The dis
ease is confined, so far, to one ranch. One
man talked with in regard to the matter au-
vanced the theory thai 1t was the result of
lack of care of the yards in which the cattle
were kept during the winter. The yards
have not been changed for number of years
and the accumulated filth, in which the cat
tie are compelled to stand, especially in wet
weather. it is supposed, rots the feet ana
poisons the whole system of the animals.

RaiIwav Ma;I Service

WAsHINGToN, May 2.-General Superin-
tendent Bell, Of the railway mail service, in
reply to question as to the number Of
changes which were made in the service be.
tween March 4 and May 1, when the civil
service law was extended to 1t, said he did
not know the exact number, and that he had
made a change wherever he could improve
the service. He added:
I'm the making of appointments in the
railway mail service since becaTe United
STATES general superintendent the course has
been, as far as possible, to weed out the in
competents and probationers and to bring
back those whose records indicated
proficiency and VINO were removed
mainly because they were republicans.
l think that 80 per cent of the appointments
that have been made comprise the class men
toned, and of the remainder, the aim has
been to select, from those who have been
recommended such as are most likely to be-
come the most capable clerks after serving
the usual probationary term. After care
fully reviewing the force in connection with
the division superntendents, feel confident
the service has because of the changes, been
materially strengthened, and while should
have been glad to have had more time in
which TO bring back more Of the old high
class men, have no doubt but that which
has been done in the past few weeks will
speedily add to the efficiency of the service"

PARNELL.
The Continuation of His Examination
Before the Commission.

LONDON, May 2.-The cross examination
of Parneu was continued before the Parnell
commission to-day. Parnell admitted that
Condor was connected with the Manchester
murders. He was chairman of the reception
committee at Washington. Witness had al
ways repudiated the dynamite and physi-
cal force party in America, and denounced
them in the commons. He was not aware
that the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette re-
ported verbatim speech he made at Cln-
cinnati in which he is said to have referred
to the severance of the last link between
Great Britain and Ireland, or that its report
was like that IN the Irish World. Parnell
admitted he had not found fault with the
past action of the invincibles. He quoted
from his speeches and the manifesto of 1881,
denouncing the outrages and unconstltu-
tional action by Irishmen. Parnell SAID he
had advocated the buying out of the land
lords in ireland and making the tenants the
owners of the land.
The cross-cxamination proceeded through
a mass of detail and was aimed to connect
him with the Fenians and also to show that
he must have known of plots to commit mur-
der Nothing, however, was elected from
the witness to show he was in any way con-
nected with the Fenians, or that he had any
knowledge of any murderous conspiracies.
Attorney General Webster cited the men
acing speeches made by w. Redmond.
Parnel listened to the attorney general,
and remarked that old heads
could not be put on young shoulders. Again
pressed by the counsel as to whether he had
ever denounced outrages, Parnell read eX-
tracts from speeches delivered by him in
1879, such as:
'Let us remain within the law and the
constitution"
81 hope the people will! not attempt to i'm
itate the violent and illegal attitude Of the
government"
"The league is peaceable and coLstitu'
tional, and there is nothing behind it.r
Parnell further said that in 1880 he de-
nounccd the shooting OF agents as unneces
sary and prejudcal, where there was suit
able league organization, but admitted that
such denuncatlon was insufficient to stor
such outrages. He denied that he was re-
sponsible for the violent articles which ap'
peared in United Ireland, and said tina,
O'Brien had supreme control of that paper.
