A West Virginia town of $50 in
habitants pretends to have 1S9 dogs.
1t is undoubtedly poor but happy
sort of place. 1t is one of the great
est privileges of wealth to be able to
keep dog. Yet hundreds of thous-
ands of our best citizens who are not
rolling in wealth are wealthy in
dogs. 81 want ter know if you've
got forehanded enough ter keep a
dorg," was the respectful query of a
New England economist to poorer
brother -New York Sun.
The Stsn has not heard from the
dog population of Morgantown
The fellow that is not forehanded
enough to keep dorg would have
to move out of this town.

THE BLESSINGS OF PROTECTION
As Enjoyed by the Farmers Of Monon-
gala County.

GEORGETOWN, w. Va, Oct. las the
Harvest is past and the Summer end
ed'' it is well for the farmers to make a
summary of their losses and gains and
see, if possible, where the policy, or
rather the practices, of the republican
party are leaving them.
With everything they have to sell, or
nearly so, below the cost of production
and all they have to buy controlled by
trusts and consequently to be procured
at exhorbitant prices it is not to be
wondered at that they should begin to
ask what part of the benefits of protec-
ton and the paternal policy OF the gov
eminent they are receiving.
With an abundant harvest and fail
ure OF the food supply of the world, they
cannot get even living prices for their
surplus breadstuffs. Having disposed
of their fat cattle at ruinously low prices
they are now afraid to buy others to
winter on account of the unfavorable
outlook for the next summer. Yet they
are obliged to buy or allow the bounties
of providence and their own good man
agement rot ON their hands for want OF
something to feed it to. If however we
charge any part of this state of things to
the republican administration they at
once declare that it has had nothing at
all to do with it. While the democratic
party was in power they did nothing but
croak about the hard times and the ruin
Gus policy of the administration. But
such is republican consistency
With an overlooking Treasury the adj
ministration in the last two months has
increased the Public debt over seven
millions of dollars while they clamor for
economy; but why pursue this further.
Were the republicans consistent in any
thing but their Inconsistency?
Turning from national affairs to those
nearer home | may be allowed to say
that we are the most liberal people in all
Gods country so called While it is
fact patent to all that we have more
qualified teachers in our neighborhood
than can possibly get employment in
our schools yet after trying to get
teacher from at least two other districts
our school has been given to one from
another district making the third or
fourth, ii not the FIFTH district outside Of
Grant, the school was rendered to.
A Grant district school teacher after be
had the implied promise of a school in an
adjoining District was gravely informed
by the trustees that it had been given to
a subsequent applicant because he was
from their own district We do not do
business in that way but rather let our
own teachers go unemployed that we
may make money by boarding teachers
from distance.
II this will build up our prosperity or
advance our educational interest it is OF
course good policy But fail to see it!
Seeding and cane cutting is nearly
done but the frequent rains are keeping
both back.
The timber men will nearly finish
their work in the neighborhood this
week. TIN @. LEON

ONE of the most profound thinkers
of the country has truly said "The
farmers dollar is heavy. 1t is no
waif to him. He knows how many
strokes of his labor it represents.
His bones ache with the days labor
that earned it. He knows how much
land it representation much rain,
frost and sunshine. He knows that
in the dollar he gives you so much
discretion and patience, so much
hoeing and threshing. Try to lift
his dollar, you must lift all that
weight" Still many a farmer votes
for the party that makes him pay an
unjust and unnecessary tax of AZ
cents on every dollars worth of
material he buys with his hard earn
ed dollar.

We suppose the flooding of the
new states with money to be used in
the election, and the work of natur-
alizing ignorant foreigners who are
at work on the various lines of rail
way, by the clerks of the U. S. courts
is the kind of civil service reform
Mr.. Harrison meant when he made
public pledges to uphold the civil
service. A republicans pledges OF
that kind always means that he will
do anything he can for his party nc
difference what pledges or what law
is violated.

The State Journal says: A great
many people suppose that General
Golf and Judge Fleming go about
looking for each other with big
knives between their teeth, with guns
in their boot tops and with bottles
of vitriol in their pockets. The fact
is that they are personally quite
friendly and it would be entirely
safe to leave them together in a
locked room over night. Probably
the impression that they are bitter
enemies has grown out of the fact
that neither ever asks the other to
take 'suthin.'

At the time of going to press this
morning we have no news from the
elections in the new western states.
The Associated press dispatches
given below, are largely speculative.
The result will probably not be given
for several days.
ST.. PAUL, Sept. 3O.-Before the
sun shall again sink below the hori-
zon of the Pacific, the electors of the
two Dakotas, Montana and Wash
ington will have announced their ap-
prevail of the constitutions submit
ted for their consideration by their
respective conventions. Both of the
Dakotas will probably elect Republi-
can officers, although it is not as sure
in the North as in the South. Pro
hibition will undoubtedly win in
South Dakota, but the other twin
will probably vote against it. Mon
tana is claimed by both parties with
the indications still holly in favor
Of the Democrats.
AfIfh TWO sENAfOko.
TAMocA, WASH. TY., Sept. 3d.
The most bitterly contested political
campaign ever fought in Washing
ton ends with the setting of to-day's
sun. Twenty four hours later it will
have to be decided whether Wash
ington's first State Government is to
be Republican or Democratic. The
fight between the two parties has
been largely waged on the tariff issue
with the passage of the Constitution,
the deciding Of the capital question,
and the adoption OF prohibitory and
woman suffrage planks in the Con-
stitution, coming in as side issues.
The Republicans prophesy the cleo
tion of the entire ticket with MAORI
ties ranging from 5000 to 10000
The Democrats concede the cleo
ton of Ferry for Governor and Will
son for Congress, but claim a divis-
ion of the Supreme Judgeships.
For Governor and Congressman they
concede majorities of 5000 to 5000.
The last figures are more than 1000
less than given to Allen for delegate
against Voorhees, one year ago.
The Chairman of the Territorial
Central Committee claims that the
Legislature will be Republican on
Joint ballot by majority of 80.
On the other hand the Democrats
claim the Legislature on joint bal
lot by ten. 1t is here to secure the
two United States Senators that the
Democrats have been concentrating
their entire energies, permitting and
encouraging the sacrifice of other
portions of the ticket, if by such
this end may be secured. They are
better organized than ever before in
the history of the territory. Their
meetings have been largely attended
and enthusiastic aud their leaders
are very sanOuine

Not since the war have the oppor-
tunities been so good as now for the
study of politics by the rural econo-
mists. The fictitious and unreason-
able assertions made in defense of a
protective tariff during the last cam
paign have borne good fruit, and no
one is so dull that he cannot compre-
bend if he wishes to.
A little exercise of memory brings
to the thoughtful man abundant and
overwhelming testimony of the reck-
less disregard of truth that accom- !.
panied the broad declarations of
plentiful haryests, extravagant
prices and universal good times as
natural results of protective tariff.
The farmer has seen the prices of
his products, which the Republican
campaigner proudly declares is pro-
tected by high tarff, go mp and
down like rag in wind storm.
His potatoes are now selling at an
average price in this market of %
cents bushel. But the machinery
he uses, his cook stove and house
hold wares, do not fuctuate. They
keep at high water mark. Sugar
has gone up nearly so per cent.
Taxes are at maximum all the
time.
Everything the farmer has to buy
keeps at steady pace, and always
high one. Whatever he has to sell
goes at the price fixed not by him
self, but by dealers with whom he
has nothing to do. He must pay the
price asked for what he buys, and
sell at the price offered him.
And that is where and how, if he
can find it, the farmer is protected
by tariff -Parkersburg Sentinel.

Not This Time...SOme Other
Time.

The sewerage question was indefi-
nitely postponed on Saturday.
We are not surprised.
We notified the Town Council
when the proposition was first pub
lished, that it was too indefinite, and
unless the people had further data
they would vote it down.
And they did.
Nor do we blame them.
We confess that the proposition
was so indefinite that we did not
know how to discuss it. On general
principles we were in favor of sew
erage system. But, at the same time
we desired to know specifically, the
plan and cost of the system.
We did not feel like urging citi-
zens to vote to put ten thousand dol
lars in system of sewerage that
might cost twenty thousand. No
assurance was given and the Council
seemed to have none themselves, that
sewerage system could be con-
structed for $4,000. They might
have supplied one half the town with
the appropriation asked for, and re-
quired $4,000 to complete it, while
the other half the town would have
to wait and whistle for series of
years to get share in it.
We submit that a proposition of
that kind should be sufficiently spe-
cific to inform voters what was to be
undertaken, and at exactly what
cost. If the estimates for the pro
posed mains had been set out, show
ing the plan in detail, everybody
could have had a chance of veri-
flying the estimates of the Coun-
Gil, and deciding for himself how far
it was practicable.
Some day the people will call for
sewerage, but until that time comes,
we ought to have our surface drain
age so improved that our people can
drain their Stops into the streets and
have them carried off quickly and
completely. Unless this is done, we
will shortly have the soil so satura-
ted with putrid matter and the air
so full of noxious exhalations that
we may expect an epidemic of fevers
every season.
The condition in which the street
drains are kept is simply inexcusa-
BILE. A town that is asking for
$4,000 for sewerage plant, while
it's surface drains are growing weeds
ten feet high is making itself ridicu-
lous. 1t is just as important to have
a neat and clean surface drainage as
sewer drains. The one does not do
away with the necessity of the other.
Yet good surface drainage is with
in the means Of every respectable
population, and there is no excuse
for not having it in this town. The

An Editors Son Shot.

OAKLAND, ND, Sept. 30.-A case
of accidental shooting occurred here
this afternoon which will in all prob
ability result in the death of Will
liam Combs, aged seventeen years,
son of John S. Combs, editor of the
Mountain Democrat, published here.
Young Combs, after taking his din
ner to-day, procured an old cat rifle,
and in company with Robert Bolden,
aged about fourteen years, went to
Skaters Hill, about mile distant
from Oakland, to hunt squirrels,
and while he was endeavoring to
get shot his gun was accidentally
discharged, the ball entering Combs
forehead just between the eyes.
He further states that when the
rife cracked Combs, who was about
twenty feet distant, fell and never
spoke afterwards. The boy thor
oughly frightened, came to Oakland
for help, and the wounded youth
was brought to his home and medi-
cal aid summoned, The wound was
probed to a depth of three or four
inches, but the bullet could not be
located The rifle was loaded with
a short twenty-five cartridge. At
late hour tonight the injured boy
had not regained consciousness,
and the doctors say his life is of
only few hours duration.

of the reasons that some men feel
awkward in dress suit, is that they
