Jay GouId.s Prayer.

Our father who art in England,
Rothchild be thy name; thy king
dom come to America, thy will be
done in the United States as it is
in England. Give us this day our
bonds in gold, but not silver; give
us plenty of laboring mems votes to,
keep monopoly in power and their
friends in office. We know, our
father, we have done many things
that were wrong; we have robbed
the honest poor and brought dis.
tress to many a door We know it
was wrong to refund the bonds and
make them payable in coin. We
know that it was wrong TO demone-
tie silver; we know it was wrong
to water our stocks, but thou know
est we made money by that. Now
our father thou knowest we are
above politics. 1t is the same to us
whether Democrats or Republicans
rule, for thou knowest we are able
to sway all political jobs in our ia
vor. Lead us not in the way of
the strikers, but deliver us from the
insane Knights of Labor and the
Farmers Alliance. Thus shall we
have the kingdom, bonds, interest,
power and gold until the woili
shall end. Amen.-Arkdnsas City

A Convention of the Democratic
Clubs of this State is called to meet
at Parkersburg, August 18th. We
think this is too close to the day of
the State Convention, and suggest
to President Handlin that he change
the date to an earlier or later date
Democrats can stand, and do stand
good deal, but it is not expected
that they can so through the worry
and work of State Convention in
the hot August days, and then
counter march Immediately to Park
ersburg, riding in the cars after
night, and then be in a good frame
of mind or body to attend the next
day the meeting of the Democratic
Clubs.

To the Democrats of the Fourth
Congressional District OF
West Virginin.

Editor Register:
knowing that an impression has
obtained in different parts of this
District that am a candidate for
a denomination by our Congress-
ional Convention which assemblies
here on the Goth of August next,
and sincerely appreciating the kind
mention that has been made of my
name in this connection and truly
grateful to my party for the marks
of its confidence and esteem be-
slowed upon me in the past, ] take
this means of informing my party
and friends that 1 do not desire to
be longer considered a candidate to
represent the people of this District
in the 52nd Congress.
This conclusion has been reached
after mature consideration and with
hope, if possible, to advance the
interests of Democracy in the Dis
trict, as the success of our party is
paramount to all personal consider
erations. The interest i feel in the
triumph of the principle ofour party
has not abated, but on the contrary
has grown and been strengthened by
reason of the unwise policy of the
Republican party and duplicity of
its course as political organization
on both State and Federal affairs /
am heartily committed to the cause
of Democracy and believe in the
possibility of its early and complete
triumph.
will give my best energies 10
its support and will at all times,
obey its calls.
Yours respectfully,
CHAs. e. HoGG.

''Oyer the Hill TO the PoOre
lIOuSR.-

Now that the condition of the far
mer is reaching the trades people
some of the latter are abusing us for
being so extravaganza. Let's see
how eXtravagant we have been.
We had about half crop, and got
very low prices for what we had,
and had to borrow little money to
pay our taxes; and-well we have
concluded to make our old clothes
do another year and to quit drink
ing coffee, aud, of course, we'll take
no sugar in it; Oh, yes; farmers are
eXtravagant of course they are.
They ought to live on hoe cake and
bacon, and be satisfied. Our wives
and daughters ought to be satisfied
with calico and drudgery. Well,
whether they are or not that's fast
becoming their lot. But, then, we
are used to it, and suppose we
can stand it until the sheriff sells
us out, and then-well, then cover
the hill to the poor house. Err.

Ilondholders ana Soldiers.


We know of II 1000 dollars gov
eminent bond which was purchas-
ed during the war for 400 dollars
in gold II was done by selling that
much gold for 1000 in greenbaeks
converting the grecnbacks into the
bond at par value.
For fourteen years the bond bore
six per cent interest-which made
six hundred dollars,
For fourteen years it bore 4 per
cent interest, which made $50
dollars more. Total interest /, 1850
dollars.
1t has never paid cent of tax.
Last week this identical bond
was bought up by the government
ut 30 per cent. premium. The
holder received 1893 dollars for it.
Here is 2,460 dollars for an in
vestment of only 400 dollars made
"a years ago.
Here is more than six dollars for
one.
We know an old soldier who SER
we'd in the army for three years at
an average of II dollars per month.
For three years service he receiv-
ed a total of 5O4 dollars.
1t is twenty-thrce years since he
came home and ntzto work in
the great army of wealth produ.
GERS and consumers.
His proportion of the $4,000, OOO,-
600 which has been paid to bond
holders, has been % dollars year.
In twenty three years this amounts
to 575 dollars.
He has paid back to the govern
ment Il dollars more than he re-
ceived. In other words he. virtu-
ally served the government three
years for nothing and contributed
Il dollars. besides.
1t was under Republican rule
that this bond was given for 400
dollars. 1t was under Republican
rule that it drew 1,16O dollars of
interest and paid no taxes.
The Republicans are still keeping
up the practice of deliberately
filching money from the people to
enrich the bondholders-notwith-
standing the fact that the infamous
Public Credit Act gives the govern
ment the right to call them in and
pay them off at par.
Every single dollar that.has been
paid as premiums on the bonds (and
the amount runs into the hundreds
of millions) has been as deliberately
and wicliedly stolen as ever horse
was stolen in the world!-Kand,eha

To the assertion of President
Harrison that he "thanked God he
was not born in Virginia" the
Alexandria Gazette relates that ssIf
he had been, he would not have
accepted as a gift a valuable fur
nished house at Cape May. If he
had been, his palid face would have
flushed with shame when he read
that bill had been introduced in
Congress TO provide summer res
idence for the President of the
country, because he would have
known that bis acceptance of the
gift referred to had suggested the
the introduction of that resolution.

rison was not born ON her soil.

GOT HIS MONEY.
Milton Mays i'm Possession of
Solid Cash for His Louisiana
State Lottery Ticket.

A reporter of the Inquirer drop
ped into the Farmers and Traders
Bank yesterday morning and learn
ed from the Cashier that the cash
had been forwarded for one-twen-
tieth of ticket No. 1880, which
drew the first capital prize of $780,
600 in the drawing of tho Louisiana
State Lottery on the 18th instant.
Being fully assured by the Cashier
that the $4,000 was actually de-
posted in the bank, the reporter
started out to interview Milton
Mays, the owner. He was found
with his wagon and team on side
street awaiting an order to haul a
load of coal or ashes.
"Doubtless you can now tell us
something of the feelings of rich
man as well as those of poor one,
Milt,". said the reporter.
@No, sir l have never felt the
difference"
Ibid you ever own ticket be-
fore?' -
"No, sir. 1t was my first. Ihad
done good days work and while
stopping IN on my wagon fora glass
of beer, concluded ] would throw
away one dollar on the lottery.
The tickets were placed before me,
and 1 picked out the brightest in
my eye"
"What have you done with the
money!"
"one-h half; $1,000, is deposited to
my credit in the bank, the other
half is held in the hands of the bank
by an injunction sworn out by u
fellow who claims to have been a
partner with me?'
"What will you do with the mon
ey?"
Part of it will go for home,
part for better team, and the rest
will be safely invested. l know
how to haul coal and ashes and will
not change my business"
Just then a colored citizen came
up to pay his respects to the wealthy
colored man, and the reporter with
drew Greensboro (Ky.) Inquirer,

A Wall and Howl.

WetzeI Democrat.
There is a wall and howl be-
cause Democrats were chosen for
places at the State University. This
wall and howl comes from the Re-
publican press, which did not howl
worth cent when a Republican
was chosen Superintendent of the
Reform School. For ourselves, we
want men at the University whose
influence will be excrted in the di-
rection of economy in government
and against all extravaganza for
tariff reforms and other reforms,
and we cannot expect these things
from the best Republican on earth.

Yes, WHY

Why do the farmers and laborcrs
of all classes want to kick on the
existing condition of things?" is the
cry of Republican statesmen. There
is time in the history of all men
and all nations when forbearance
ceases to be a virtuc-when the limit
of gall is reached. That time has
certainly come when the farmers do
not know which would pay them
best, an over production or an UNDER
production; good crop, or bad
crop. But there are good many
shrewd men among the farmers who
know that the present condition of
things do not, necessarily, have to
exist on American soil. The wage
workers of America are not quite
ready to be put on the auction block.
But seriously, will some of our astute
Republican statesmen tell us this
early in the campaign, which ar
gument will be used; underproduc-
tion or overproduction? Y.

The Senators from the new silver
States are already threatening to
kick if they cannot have their way.
1t will be a just retribution upon the
party that made these States for
purely partisan purposes to have
their votes turned against it. This
is what nearly always happens in
such cases.

There is nothing to shun in a
business career 1t ordinarily off
ers more certain and substantial
rewards than professional life, and
we are fast breaking up the old
presidents that men for public
service must come from among the
professions. Such antecedents were
made when men of education
were rarely found outside of the
professional ranks and til ose chosen
were chiefly from the law branch.
1t is different now. Education has
spread intellectual discipline, con-
centrated thought and competency
into every department of human
effort, creating a homogeneous
citizenship which can safely be called
upon for oil requirements, and
which is sure, in even more certain
degree than in the past, to meet
every emergency.-Gen. HASTINGS
