Have to Move Out to Die.


West Virginia has the finest eli
mate in the world 1t is dry with
sufficient moisture to promote vega
tation, but not enough to be injuri-
Gus to health. 1t is free from mala-
ria, and the consequent fevers and
agues, and it's pure mountain air is
unfailing antidote to all lung dis
eases. Statistics show West Vir-
ginia to be the healthiest States in
the union. The death rate in Mas
sachusetts is ZIG in thousand; in
West Virginia it is only II 100
in other words, less than three
fourths of man dies each year in
every thousand. 1t is mild. While
sometimes decidedly cold, and at
other times tolerably hot, neither
extreme is ever Of long continuance.
The general temperature is of a
pleasant medium. And it is also
highly favorable to agriculture.
The length of the growing season,
the rainfall evenly distributed
through out the year, and the long
periods adapted to seedlings and
harveting enable the farmer to con
duct his operations under the most
favorable circumstances. And it
is very healthy. Statistics show
that in no part of the world is there
more general condition of health
or a longer lived or more vigorous
population. The back country peo-
pie possess great bodily vigor, the
result of free exposure to the fresh
air and the mild equable weather.
"Healthy!" said one of them to the
writer not long ago "Ye'd better
believe it, stranger. Folks is so
healthy yere that they huv to move
out of the State to die"

The Answers to Some Questions.

A jobbing newspaper, which pro-
fesses Democracy, while slavishly
supporting monopoly and the money
power, asks the following questions:
what are the plutocratic tenden-
cies of the day2 In a country Of
popular suffrage how can there be a
rule of the rich? Who is suffering
from it?"
Well the plutocratic tendencies of
the day are the tendencies of rich
men to use their wealth in politics,
in order to have the laws made in
their interests for the oppression and
impoyerishment of the people, and
for the establishment of themselves
as monopolists, authorized to fleece
all other men at will.
How can there be rule of the
rich in country Of popular suf-
frage?'
The ways are many. The end is
always the same. Sometimes p,u-
tocracy gets control Of newspaper
by giving its editor share in an

A Foolish Idea.

All this talk about early rising is
moonshine. The habit of turning
out of bed in the middle of the night
suits some people, let them enjoy it,
But it is only folly to lay down
general rule upon the subject.
Some men are fit for nothing all
day after they have risen early every
morning. Their energies are dead
ened, their imaginations are heavy,
their spirits are depressed.
1t is said you can work so well in
the morning. Some people can, but
Others can work best at night; others
again, in the afternoon. Long trial
and experiment are the only con
elusive tests upon these points.
AS for getting up early because
Professor All-Gammon has written
letters to the papers proving the ne
cessity of it, let no one be goose
enough to do it.
We all know the model man aged
eighty: II invariably arise at five;
l work three hours, take a light
Overwhelmingly, cracker and a
pinch of salt; work five hours more.
never smoke, never drink anything
but barley water, eat no dinner, and
go to bed at six in the evening"
If anybody finds that donkeyfied
sort of life suits him, by all means
let him continue it. But few people
would care to live to eighty on these
terms. If a man cannot get all with
cred and crumpled up on easier con-
ditions than those, it is almost as
well that he should depart before he
is nuisance to himself and bore to
everybody else.
School-boys, and young people
generally ought to get up early, for
it is found that nine-t enths of them
can stand it, and it does them good.
But let no one torture himself with
the thought that he could have been
twice as good a man as he is if he had
risen every morning at daylight
The habit would kill half of us in
less than five years.-Medical Clds-

President HarrisOn's Friends.

Harrison seems to be looking out
for his own personal friends to the
exclusion of those of Blaine and 9TH
er prominent Republicans who made
sacrifices and elected Benjamin.
Blaine's friends in particular need
not apply at the White House Har-
rison's position towards the friends
of the Maine statesman reminds one
of the affection, or rather the lack
of affection, of certain woman for
her step-son. There happened to be
company present, and the step
mother, desiring to create good i'm
preston, said: Tommy, why don t
you ask for piece of cake?' ''Be-
cause didn't suppose it would be
any use,' was Tommy's candid re-
ply. In this connection Harrison
also reminds us of the old farmer,
who when asked by some "city fell
lers' if he had any milk, replied
"Yes, but | keep it for my own calves. y
The rich federal milk is reserved ex-
clusively for the Harrison breed of
calves.-Te1as Siftings.

About Ice Water.

says: Do not convert the stomach

of ice water at short intervals. The
evil effects of ice water are well

GUS troubles, which arises by free
use OF ice water would entitlc it TO
be set aside. Water at fifty degrees
is cold enough for drinking pnr-

like drinking very hot beverages, is
a habit to be avoided. The extremes
in this matter, as in many other

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional RENE
dies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucus lining
of the Euslachian Tube When this
tube gets inhamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
famation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caus-
ed by catarrh, which is nothing but
an infamed condition Of the mucns

oppressive monopoly, and thus Sc
cures the papers services in mis-
leading the people. Sometimes it
makes itself proprietor of State
Legislature, as a great corporation
has done in New Jersey and Penn
sylvania. Sometimes it buys seats
for its agents in the United States
Senate.
OF late it has enlarged the scope
of its operations. 1t bought polit-
ical party last year-not to mention
a number of movements and then
bought ''hoaters in blocks of five" to
elect that party's candidates, selling
q cabinet office for corruption money
as an incident of the transaction.
1t has still other methods. 1t sets
employers to intimidate their men
with threats of lockouts and loss
of wages in the event of defeat at the
polls. 1t imports English agents
with forged quotations from foreign
newspapers. 1t silcnces criticism in
the organs Of its purchased party by
holding out a prospect of foreign
mission to party editors ambitious
of social distinction.
In short, it buys whichever money
or the spoils of government office
will buy, and by means of tariff pro-
tected trusts and moropolies it ex-
torts from the people of the country
the money with which it debauches
elections and nullifies popular self
government.
But why answer a knave accord
ing to his knavery any more than a
fool according to his folly? Every
sane man knows that plutocracy
and greed at this moment threaten
the Republican with the greatest
danger it ever confronted-Nev

Trusts and Combines.

Trusts are the order of the day.
Monopoly rules. Competition is
throttled. Four or five houses in
single line of business, hitherto ri
walls, instead of furnishing the pub
lie with their product at reasona-
BILE price, as heretofore, have com
bined their concerns, placed them
under the management of trust,
which, in the form of a monster
company, proceeds to lay such prices
as it pleases ON the product. The
pioneer trust was the Standard Oil
Company, which has enriched its
members beyond the dreams of ava
rice and robbed the public at it's
leisure Next followed the cotton,
the sugar, the distillers, the cat
tie and land trusts. A hotel trust
is now talked of, whereby all the ho-
tells of the country of certain grade
will be brought under single man
agement and travellers be made to
come down handsomely. But of all
the combines yet mentioned, that of
railroad trust is the most colossal
and the most daring 1t is now pro-
posed to unite all competing rail
roads into territorial groups and
place them under a single manage
ment, so there can beno competition
and no cutting ofrates. That some
thing of this kind may some time be
done is possible, but it will not be
until the gentleman" managers
have sufficiently enriched themselves
by gambling on their stockholders
property in Wall street. 1t is too
soft thing to buy stocks when they
are low, patch up gentleman s
agreements" and send the prices
flying in Wall street, and then, when
the stocks are sufficiently ballooned,
to sell out and go short of them,
break the "gentleman's agreement
and let the bottom fall out of the
market. 1t is fine game of
bunco, and as long as the gentle
men, can play at it there will be no
colossal railroad trusts. --Chicago

The Salt Trust Deferred.

The failure of the salt trust to
materiallze was not due to an indis-
position on the part of New York
capitalists to go into it if they could
see their way to making it pay. 1t
was practicable and would have been
very profitable for while. But how
long? There was the rub. Nobody
could tell whether the next Congress
would not try to win popularity by
abolishing the tariff tax that keeps
up the price of salt in this country.
When, too, if the trust should put
salt up much higher than it now is
it would be met with an immense
production from the various rich de-
posits in various parts of this coun-
try 1t was not enough to buy up
existing works 1t was necessary
to get possession also of all the best
deposits. That would take time
and good deal of money. There
will be better chance after Con
gress has reduced internal taxes
and the tariff on sugar to such a
point that freedom from further
tariff reductions seems assured.
Then we shall probably hear of the
salt trust again. Some Of oul con
temporaries talk as if the growing
unpopularity of trusts scared the
projectors of the salt trust Not at
all. Trust-makers do not care for
unpopularity in their corporate ca
pacity. 1t was the uncertainty of
the resent outlook that warned them
to desist for while,-Bdltimore

HALF BEAR, HALF MAN.


A special from Camden, Tenn,
gives the particulars of the birth TO
a young white woman near there OF
a monstrosity, half human and half
bear, the resemblance to the latter
predominating. The eyes are prom
inent and set far back in the crown
of the head. A human nose in faint
outline is seen in the center of the
head. A prominent snout projects
where the face should he, and from
this a long tongue protrudes. The
arms and legs are those of human
being, but the feet and hands are
those of an animal, except that the
fingers and toes are perfectly those
of man. The creature was still
born. Some months ago the mother
was greatly frightened by pet bear.

Discusses West Virginia Resources
and Prospects.
New York Star.

New York Star.
Elk United States Senator John
son n. Camden has been at Fifth
Avenue Hotel few days, and left
for home yesterday. Mr.. Camden
is one of the big men of the Stan
dard Oil Company, and railroad
builder of great Importance, especi-
ally in his own State. He got his
start in life in the early days of the
oil excitement in West Virginia,
and has been climbing up the finan-
cial and political ladder ever since.
He belongs to one of the oldest
families in the State, for the de-
velopmemt of which he has done SO
much. He is now building system
of railroads of his own into the
isolated locality where he was born
and where he struggled for begin
ming in life. This is as much a
matter of sentiment with him as for
money making purposes He says
it is missionary effort Speaking
of the development of the South,
he said:
II am combining myself almost to
the building of little system Of
railroads which / have long had in
view. My present operations are con.
fined to new road from Clarksburg
to Fairmont, for a connection with
the Baltimore and Ohio system.
This road connects at Clarksburg
with narrow gauge line which |
built some time ago running from
that point to Weston, where i first
began life. Then / am building a
railroad from Weston TO Braxton
c. Ii. which will eventually be ex-
tended to connection with the rail
road from Parkersburg down the
Ohio river to Charleston, in which
| am interested Then | have a
line running from Weston to Buck
harmon.
"The fact is that West Virginia is
richer in undeveloped resources than
any equal number of miles of ter
ritory in the United States. Our
advancement so far has been seri-
ously retarded by the lack of rail
road facilities.
What is true of West Virginia /
take it is in great measure true of
the whole South, although naturally
/ do not pay much attention to it.
You must bear in mind that when
the war closed had it not been for
the animosities of reconstruction
the South would have been regarded
as more valuable field for invest
ment and the higher class of immi-
grafton than the great West. The
great need of our section is and has
been small farmers. Well titled
acres upon which diversified ag.
riculture is intelligently represented
are the wealth of any community.
What we need in West Virginia and
in all parts of the South is intelli-
Ssho' bnflltN people VINO ueslTe 10
make homes for themselves and
their families. Now that the an.
imosities of the war are dead, we
are slowly attracting that class of
people. The ratio of its increase
will be greater cry year. The
South is better off to day than ever
before in rs history, and in less than
twenty years will be wealthicr and
happier than ever. The present i'm
provement is really only the
beginning of what is to come"

Idleness is a Dangerous Fault.

untrue During his absence from

force an entrance but for what pur-
pose it is not definitely known,
though it is supposed they intended
to inflict some kind Of punishment
on her, as it is said she acted SO in
discretly as to cause some people OF
that village to suspect her chasti-

however, and when Mr. Fogey re
turned they attached him, and in
the fight that followed, he received
shot in the thumb Of the right hand,
which came near cutting it Off He
was roughly treated otherwise. The

wore black masks, but Mr.. Fogey
claims to have recognized them
nevertheless 1t is said that a small

by them, which furnished clue too
