The seat of government is still at
Deer Park. Mr.. Harrison is at Bar
Harbor visiting Mr.. Blaine who is
sick, but Baby Mckee is at the first
named place.
Harrison is dreadfully afraid Of
stepping on some ones corns, else
the vacancy on the supreme bench
would have been filled long ago
Hold, we didn't hear the murmur,
did we that sthere is another
chance for GoffY"
Quay still has his grip on Penn
sylvania Republicans. Probably
the Connellsville coke workers will
break away from his grasp when
they remember that his own prom
Uses as much as any thing else ac-
counts for their present position.
Where shall the worlds fair be
held in 1892? and what shall be the
National flower are the two ques-
tions which the city dailies now dis
cuss more than any other In
regard to the former Chicago or New
York will get there and as to the Ma
tional flower the daisy seems most
favored.
The nomination for governor of
Virginia on the Republican ticket is
the fullncss of an empty honor, but
Malone is fighting for it in great
shape and his efforts will very likely
be successful. All that we need to
say is that Malone will never be the
governor Of Virginia, not at least
till he 6ops.
The State Journal thinks there
were not more than 200 illegal votes
in the election in West Virginia. Well,
it will only take a throw out of Tic
to elect Fleming SO we are glad to
see such confession on the part OF
our Republican contemporary. Two
hundred illegal votes represent the
Republican gain(?)
And now they are making table
glass ware trust. One of the most
gigantic combines Of the age is the
scheme to combine all the table glass
ware factories in Ohio, West Vir-
ginia and Pennsylvania. The return
will be Il great gain proportioned
to each manufacturer going in, &C
cording to the present size of his
plant, as prices will be put up to
high figure and of course
no competition possible. Trusts
of every description are fostered by
the present administration and ex-
tortion is made from the consumer.
DR.. f. NJ. Turner. President of
the State University, is spending the
entire summer vacation in active
work for that institution. He is
visiting nearly every section of the
State, attending the county insti-
tutes and the Peabody institutes,
every where explaining to the young
men and young woman the great ad-
vantages which the University offers.
For years the representatives of col
leges in other States have been con
sidering West Virginia as good
recruiting field, and President
Turner is doing wisely in making a
personal effort to secure for the Uni
versity the patronage it deserves.

The Republican organ of this coun-
ty says: "NIonongalia county Dem
ocrats-those of the Confederate
stripe-take no stock in Hon. Henry
G. Davis any more. He "loafs'' too
much with President Harrison"
Now the New DOMINION scribe
''loafs' about as much with Monon-
gala Democrats as does the fellow
who wrote the above and can say
from personal knowledge that Mon
ongalia county Democrats take big
stock in Hon. Henry G. Davis. His
"loafng' with Ben Harrison does
not hurt them half as much as il
does some sore head Republicans in
this county. 1t is piteous to heal
some of the little Gods admirers
curse and whine about Henry G.
Davis, a copper head Democrat and
Steve Elkins, carpet bag Republi-
can, running this imbecile admins
tration. 1t makes one feel sorry for
them but it is their funeral-not
ours.
There are several farmers in this
vicinity who propose to 90 into the
sheep raising business EXCLUSIVELY.
They say this branch of husbandry
is more remunerative than any for
certain sections of the country.
While we would not advise sheep
raising altogether by the farmers we
concur in the above opinion that in
