The Purpose Of All Industry

1t is a curious thought that all the
huge value of traffic. production. dis
tribution and conversion has for its
end and objective point the supply
of each inhabitant with a few feet
of boards over his head, sustained
by brick or timber, about ten pounds
of cotton converted into clothing, a
barrel of flour, and two or three hun
dred pounds of meat, each year; and
little sugar, about five pounds OF
solid or liquid food per day. these
constituting the necessaries of life.
Some one has said that life would
not be worth living except for its
Injuries, and that time would not
be worth having except for the
hours that could be saved for leis-
ure. How much of luxury and how
much of leisure can the average man
get out OF what fifty or fifty-fve
cents day will buy for his shelter,
food and clothing.-For7tm.

The solid sonlIl ana TarLn Be.


The Democratic organs that have
Joined in the declaration, that the
breaking up of the solid South will
be the beginning of tariff reform, are.
either blind or disingenuous 1t
was industriously held out during
the Cleveland campaign, that the
farmers of the Northwest were anx-
ious to desert the Republican party
ON the tariff issue. Yet the South
is now told that its solidity repelled
them and compassed Democratic de-
feat.
Let this logic be adopted The
two virginias and North Carolina
are the States that Republicans look
to, to break the solid South. Docs
any sane man suppose that if West
Virginia had cast her electoral vote
for Harrison and Morton instead of
for Cleveland and Thurman, the
cause of tariff reform would have
been advanced one whit, or the
farmers of the Northwest would
have been brought to look on it
more favorably2 On the contrary,
it would have been accepted as u
reputation of the doctrine, and a
proof that it did not enlist the SYM
pathies of the agricultural classes of
West Virginia.
The solid South is no greater
menace to national prosperity than
a solid West or Northwest. Neither
is menace if it is the result of fair
division on great political principle.
There is cause for the political So
lidity of the South in tho condition
and character of its population
There is no cause for the solidity of
the : Northwest beyond narrow
minded prejudice. Iti plain which
should be the first to break.
The farmers of the Northwestern
States ought not to be hired to sup
port their own interest by the po-
litical qualification of the South
The Democratic party has pursued
this ignis fatuuS long enough. 1t
neglected Democratic States last fall
TO cultivate the voters of Michigan,
Minnesota and Wisconsin. The
neglect nearly caused the loss OF
West Virginia and Virginia, and
the Republican majorities were as
great as ever.
In good time the campaign of edu-
cation which the Democratic press
is conducting will carry conviction
to the great agricultural masses OF
the Northwest, and they will sup
port the party which is their natural
friend, but the breaking up of the
Solid South, however complete may
be the disruption, will not bring
that time one day nearer.

sailors scared by ST. EIlmO's
Fire


Some 400 or 500 years ago sailors
in the Bay of Biscay were frightcn-
ed by lightning which struck tho
yards of their vessels and dsDcess
along to the metallic ball ut their
ends and there hung, a flaring red
globe. The men of those days
couldn't understand the red ball,
and SO they thought saint had a
hand in the phenomenon and christ
ened the balls St Elmofs FIRE, There
have been any number of miraed,
lous balls of fire seen since by tho
sailors, but they, unlike the sailors
of other days, did not pray to St,
Elmo; they only furled their sails
and waited till their visitor bad dc,
parted. The Swedish ship Edward
was near Panama a few weeks ago,
and the balls of fire struck her
yards,s Captain Akernak had never
heard of st Elmo, and so he and
his sailors concluded they had seen
one of the most remarkable
natural phenomena on record.
A newspaper historian gives this
graphic picture of what happencd
on the ship. He says: aThe Storm
seemed to concentrate its fury df-
rectly over head and dash itself
down on the ship. The skipper
said he had just ordered the men to
brace the yards taut as possible
when with crash ike a thousand
cannons bolt of lighting flashed
down on the main rigging, just over
the mems heads, AMI ball of fire
bobbed about the yards like red
hot shell and exploded with another
crash. As this electric bomb or
meteor, or runaway devil, or what
you please, burst it scattered fakes
of fire all over the ship. The whole
storrn-lashed surface of the ocean
was illuminated, and the ship shone
with metallic luster like silver
model"
All the sailors prayed. Well, tbis
awful celestial visitor was only
lightning that struck a conductor,
went along the yards and dropped
into the sca.-Netr York Press.

what No Man Can Truly Say

No man, in a normal state OF
mind, ever honestly said to himself
or anybody else: al have no concern
about my own existence. Whether
1 live or die is matter of no conse-
quence to me. If 1 die, then
whether 1 am amihilated or sur
vive it, then what am and where
am, whether happy or miserable, in
Heaven or hell-all this is to me a
subject in regard to which feel
perfectly Indifferent. l care moth
ing about the so-called hereafter
that follows death. l do not deem
it worthy of moments thought.
] am in the same state of mind in
respect to my kindred, whether dead
or living, so far as the effect OF
death on them is concerned" Such
a creed is not possible to sane hu-
man being; and if a sane man ever
talked in this way, he did not tell
the truth, and he knew it.-Ne,r
York Independent.

We are willing to admit that Ben
Harrison is an honest man, an able
man, and possibly a conscientious
man, but what of it? 1t is not his
personal character we object TO, but
the party he represents. He repro

nopoIies and the boodlers, and as a
consequence tho policy of his adj
ministration will be dictated by
those same parties, and ii wasId be

A Campaign Against West Vir.

"The axe is in the air." says Gen
eral Goff, "and the heads will soon
begin to drop" This is the West
Virginia leaders opinion of Gen.
Harrison's policy toward West Vir-
ginia.
The announcement had come from
Washington previous to this official
declaration that West Virginia Dem
ocrats should not stand upon the
order of their going, but go at once.
1t was the ADMINISTRATORS purpose
to make West Virginia "a Republican
State, if lavish distribution of the
spoils of office would accomplish
that result. No West Virginia
Democrat, Gen. Golf has said, shall
be allowed to remain one day longer
than necessary, and in every posi-
BILE case his place will be filled by a
West Virginia Republican.
The declaration of the spoils doc
trine is no bolder than it is dis
graceful. Public office is not pub.

Republican party, and its fullest
powers will be used to that end

Wool.
Brndstreet.,s.

Bradstreet's.
Wool shows no change in any
market. Buyers are operating mod
erateIy and cautiously, taking little
stock beyond their requirements for
immediate consumption. Prices,
however, are pretty well sustained,
assortments being broken and stocks
in the aggregate light. Desirable
wool is scarce in the country as well
as on the seaboard, and mainte-
nance of present values until the
arrival of the new clip is generally
anticipated. Texas advices are to
the effect that the spring clip in that
State will be of unusually good
quality, and high prices are looked
for by the growers. The arrivals
from Australia this spring are com
paratively large, but the shipments
of Australian wool from London are
small. The next series of sales at
London opens April I'd.
At Boston manufacturers are Wis
iting the market with comparative
freedom, but their purchasers are
not match for theirinquiries. The
prevailing feeling on the part of
buyers and sellers alike is one of in
difference. Confidence exists among
the dealers, while the manufacturers,
as rule, arc not in need of large
supplies, and are operating carefully
and on restricted basis. The cur
rent demand, such as it is, covers
the usual range without features of
any Importance.
The sales of the week at Boston
are reported at 1896, 400 pounds, as
against 2,465,5 500 pounds last week
and 1915, 200 pounds in the CORE
spending week last year.
AT Philadelphia there has been
fair inquiry for course bright woods,
and for territorial woods of all kinds,
but the latter are scarce. The gen
eral wool trade is quiet, but prices
are steady. The slow demand ex-
cites some surprise, as it was expect
ed that the depletion of manuflct-
urers' stocks would have driven them
into the market for fresh supplies
before this time.
