The Fourth of July Celebration this
year will be a boom for Martinsburg,
Since the last great celebration things
have looked up considerably brighter
for the town, and this with the open
ing of the new railroad will be the be-
ginning of a more prosperous period.
The last celebration increased the
general cash business of the town over
$4,000 for the week, and this one will
still do better. Those who are the
most directly benefited should help
the movement on.

Occasionally a Republican states
nan obeying the dictates of his own
conscience and the undeniable ev-
licences of everyday facts, commits
himself to sentiments directly in OPP
position to the principles of his own
party. Senator Dawes is one of these.
He admits that he is a protectionist,
but says that rather than see the taxes
taken from whisky and tobacco, he
would consent to give up the protec-
tive tariff.
In giving voice to such sentiments
Senator Dawes has placed himself
with the increasing band of Republi-
cans who appear to be regaining their
sense in the matter of the tariff His
good sense tells him of the folly OF a
system which would decrease the sur
plus by removing the tax from whisky
and tobacco, and still would leave the
people struggling under the burden
of tribute exacted for the benefit of
subsidized monopolies. The blessed
seeds of tariff reform planted by
Farmer Cleveland have not, it is true,
rs yet borne fruit from which much
practical good can be obtained. The
experiment was startling one, and
the quality of the seed may not have
been the best. The soil was stony
and stubborn, and the adverse winds
of Republicanism swept much of the
seed away, but such men as Dawes
are tempering that wind, and a fear
less press is turning over the soil and
preparing it for a second sowing
which the sun of common sense will
bring to fruition at the proper time
