POLITICS FOR PROFIT.
One of the Ways In Which the Republican
Work Things.

One of the Ways In Which the Republicans
Work Things.
There are some queer stories aflost in
this end OF the State as TO the way our Re-
publican friends are working things.
Some OF these are funny, some are quite
the reverse, and Others again indicate a
tendency towards thrift, which speaks well
for the development OF the commercial and
business faculty in the craniums of the
bosses
An allegation of the latter character
comes from not very considerable distance
down the river.
A certain postofiice, held for many years
by faithful official, had excited the
cupidity Of sundry of the local bosses.
Petitions were prepared, aud after the
usual amount of hustling, all the available
signatures in the nighborhood were obtain
ed by one or the other OF the candidates.
Then the opportunity presented itself for
the turning OF an honest penny, and AZ
least two prominent signers 10 one petit
tion accepted fee to hustle for one of the
other fellows. 1t is alleged that other fees
were paid for similar services, and the peo-
pie who didn't get the Office are threaten
ing to stir up as much trouble as circum-
stances will permit.

SMITH BAGS SOME GAME
Mr. C. b Smith, of the Fourth district,
has been busy all day in the depart
ments. He was able to obtain the ap-
pointments of three postal clerks. The
first is Gus Flaig, who will take the
route between Grafton and Parkersburg;
the second Is Ira Wood who will run from
Huntington 10 Valley Forge on the Cheea-
psske and Ohio, and the third is Henry
Sawyer, who will run on the Ohio River
road. The best known OF the three is Mr.
Wood. Five years ago ne was Assistant
Postmaster at Huntington under the
regime Of Mr.. Spofford. When Mr. Spot
ford left town 10 20 West, Mr.. Wood was
placed in charge and had that position for
some time, until his successor was ap-
pointed. He Is now running as baggage
master on the Chesapeake and Ohio His
appointment was especially asked for by
Mr Smith.
In the Internal Revenue office there was
nothing new OF much Importance. Mr.
Mason IS getting along in his usual way,
aud Mr.. Shinn Is learning the ropes in the

that be has the unreserved promise Of the

appointed Collector of Internal Revenue
for West Virginia. This knocks the aspi-
ratiOns of Mr. James Mensger into cooked
hat, and will cause more or less trouble
down in that district Mr.. Menager was
very sure when ne left here several weeks
ago that his appointment would be made
with little or no trouble, and the news Of
Mr. Whites success will be a very severe
disappointment TO him and his friends il

MILLIONS FROM RUBBER,
How a German BOY Went From povert
TO Wealth

How a German Boy Went From Poverty
TO wealth
Brush Hardenberg Of the Baldwin was
born and reared in New Brunswick, N.
j. He has known Chris. Meyer, the
rubber man, for-well, it is drawn
kindly-thirty years Mr.. Hardenberg
and another old New Jerseyman of his
acquaintance, who was also reared in
New Brunswick, met at the Baldwin the
other evening, and the question of Mrs.
DIR. Yunker and Mrs. DR.. Regensberger
came up. Mr.. Hardenberg remembers
well and so does the man who talked
with him the history of Chris Meyer
In lS4O Meyer was German laborer
in the earliest manufactory of rubber
then known in the country, at New
Brunswick, N. j.. He was slow and me.
thodical, but shrewd-above all, faithful.
The inventive genius got into him.
Practical knowledge of his business
brought ideas, and pretty soon Chris
Meyer had devised way to treat rubber
to give it solidity. Prior to this time
the old rubber shoes were like stock
ings. The moment they got wet they
went down. 1t was his patent of an
nealing rubber which first got him into
notice. This was quickly followed by
the vulcanizing process, which the Good
year Company made an arrangement for
with Meyer.
All the elegant rubber goods Of to-day
come from the inventions of that sup
posedly-ignorant German workman, and
upon all his inventions he received enor-
nous royalties.
AS Mr.. Hardenberg SAYS, he made q
fortuna Of n million hofo,a ko ,unr un
built $30,000 house in New Brunswick
as far back rs 1868. That was an early
day for such houses. Hc and his wife
never got into New Brunswick society.
There were scandals galore. The
son business was an old story, but
there were slater ones which we'll re-
directed the easy.going ways of people
suddenly lifted to riches. Whatever the
Legitimacy of the Meyer male heirs may
be, there is chance that if Mrs DR.. Reg
ensberger and Mrs. Yunker, whoever
| she may be, shall win their suit, whole
lot of Partisan heirs and Belgian heirs
of quite another branch of the paternal
stem may be induced to follow the ex-
ample. 1t was family with old "Chris"
at the head, strangely given to strange
things. They were of class Of people
grown rich in community which
neither excuses tolerates nor accepts
atliliation with plebeianism when allied
to wealth. Meyer was man noted for
his contempt of society and famed for his
| immoralities
His $4,000, 900 could gain him no So
cial standing, or even recognition, in
New Jersey. The wealth was an object
of suspicion, suddenly acquired as it was.
The old man, years before his inventions,
had married working-girl in the fac
tory in which he was employed; that
was enough for her in that town. And
so it came about that when the $50, 600
house in New Brunswick was built in
1858 not a soul of the bluebloods even
entered 1t. They never have to this
day. Who the Mrs. Turner spoken OF
in the Eastern dispatches may be is not
known. She is probably New York ac,
quaintnnce of the elder Mrs. Meyer, who
in spite of the reasons for New Bruins
wick's ostracism, was plain, hard work
ing, honest and good woman.-[San Fran
