THE NEXT SCOOP ~

In the course Of republican events
in Preston County, we suppose the
next scoop" will be the Era. as
the faction Of the party it represents
is already popularity believed to have
gone where the woodbine tWineth.
When Samuel p. Mccormick inva-
ded the realms Of "Boss" Dawson
and like Alexander Of old sought
new worlds 10 conquer, he estab-
lished the Era as the organ Of the
New Era in political purity in the
<. o. p. Of the Banner County.
THIS paper was to be the exponent
Of the principles OF the seeded for
COS and the war cry was "Down
with Dawson" For awhile the
seeded part Of the z. o. p. seemed
victorious and like the South in the
earlier years Of the war, carried
everything by storm, but then there
came a change over the spirit OF the
affair, reaction Get in, and the tide
after being al sea, came back 20 the
old shore, 50 now that the Era for
ces have gone back to thor first

In conversation not long since
with one Of the leading lawyers of
the bar here, and also a prominent
republican, he frankly declared that
Ex-Governor E. w. Wilson had
made the best Governor that West
Virginia had ever had. He said he
believed that he honestly tried to
do his duty and serve the people
faithfully, and that he would have
accomplished much more for the
peace and prosperity Of the State, if
he could have had legislature to
back him up and carry out his sug-
gestlons, but that the legislatures Of
his term have put in the time wran-
Cling over political contests and
accomplished but little for the real
good Of the people.

out, the Republican papers of the
country will have another spasm of
patriotism and the bloody shirt will
get another hoist to the breezes.
We wonder If it can be possible that
this lordly castle of the Hon. Steve

there to anchor his citizenship and
prove his rights to represent West
Virginia in the United States House
of Lords, can be located on this

behind the times. The Tucker
Democrat came out last week, dated
Dec. ~, 1889. 1t seems they are
still celebrating Christmas over there
and we heard it rumored that there
were several votes cast for Abe
Lincoln at the last election. We
are satisfied now that the county
seat should be moved to the railroad
for st. George is dead, and should
be one of the buried cities.

CHICAGO GETS THE WORLDS PAIR.

Last week Congress was over
whelmed with the eloquence Of the
various speeches in favor Of the
worlds fair. Chicago has led from
the start. OF West Virginia's repre-
sentatives, Pendleton, Smith and
Anderson voted for Chicago, while
Wilson voted for Washington, first,
last and all the time. On the eighth
ballot the vote stood, Washington
10, st, Louis, 25, New York 1O7,
and Chicago 1877, so tho Lake City

1t will not pass the Senate, but
Chicago wont listen to this, and is
greatly elated at the prospect.

STORMS AND STORMS.
From the X. c. Journal.

From the X. c. Journal.
The city of Paris has had a storm that
the oldest Frenchman fails fo remember
its parallel. And almost every day re-
cords one or more of these destructive
disturbances of the atmosphere. And yet
our scientific people seem to be as far
from even a theory as to the underlying
causes as ever. Vow, we don't pretend
to know any more about such things
than any body else with their eyes open,
only we can ask the question, whether,
in view Of the slow progress, or no
progress, made in the study of atmOs-
pheric phenomena, there may not be an
error in the hypothesis on which the So
called science of meteorOlOgy is based?
1t does seem to the average intellect that
there must be some defect in the premises
or there would not be so little accom-
plished.
The signal service has been for years
observing, recording and cOllating a vast
number of facts, but we believe we are
within the truth when we say their per-
centage of forecasts verified is not any
higher than when the service was in its
infancy. The control of the signal service
at its beginning was under direction Of
those having an inspiration and love for
the work. In later times it has become, in
spirit as well as in form, bureau work.
This fact we give full credit for in esti-
mating results, but still it does not ac-
count for the slow progress or want Of
progress made. There must be a cause
radical in its nature.
We have always thought that this fault
was in the basic theory as to the atmOs-
phere itself 1t has always been regarded
as apart from the planet and free from
planetary influences. The heat of the
sun reflected from the earth has always
been regarded as the initiative of all at
mospheric phenomena. Is that the fact?
Many things lead to the conclusion that
heat is product of the atmosphere itself
"a result Of its lens power-and that so
far as noticeable phenomena are concern
ed it is the atmosphere that affects the
earth. The atmosphere is the medium,
so to speak, Of the play of interplanetary
force, and the best thought of the age is
fast travelling in the direction of atmos-
pheric influence as the solution of what
we call planetary action. And there is
no one department of our science that is
50 suggestive Of a wrong planetary con-
cept as that of meteorolOgy. The signal
service results demonstrate that the old
theory of atmospheric phenomena is not
q true one.

Two-thirds of the farmers Of the coun-
try are living on rented farms, or
occupying their homes by the grace
of the money power, and yet
we are asked to pay twice as
much for our supplies as the ''pauper
farmer" with whom we must compete,
pays for his. Heaven help us.
The gamblers control our products,
and after robbing the producer put up
the price to consumers, thereby develop
ing sources of supply that never would
be thought of but for such control of the
food supply.
British capital, ably assisted by tax
and financial legislation in this country.
has well nigh succeeded in running our
agricultural interests by developing adj
verse interests in India, Africa and
South America.
The world is vet in its youth "a far as
agricultural development Is concerned.
India Is in its childhood; so is South
America, and in Africa the explorations
of STANLEY have shown that agricultural
possibilities are there such as the world
has never yet seen, and the Congo Free
State Is the nucleus around which il
viii develop. Kansas IS yet an
infant in its grand develop
ment. and yet in the face Of
all these facts, we find Kansas farmers
writing learned essays on the Exhaust
ion of Arabic Lands and kindred sub
iects, Iaboring unher the hallucination
that ''over production" is what ails us,
when one half the world IS hungry and
not well clothed.
Give us free silver coinage and plenty
Of currency with which 10 transact the

The action of the Catholic convention
at Milwaukee, representing rs it Is pre-
slumed it does the entire Catholic senti-
ment of the state, which is very strong.
invests the political situation in Wiscon-
sin with a degree of especial interest
throughout the country. The point al
issue Is what is known as the Bennett
law which the Catholics construe as q
menace to their religious principles and
rights. In the recent local elections the
Democrats sided with the Catholics on
the question and We're successful in
majority of localities where that seuti-
ment Is the strongest. The Objectionable
law applies TO the whole state. but the
opposition to it Is confined mainly 10 the
large towns and cities where the Catholic
influence Is In a measure concentrated.
and little attention Is given 10 it In the
rural districts. The issue raised has not
been in any sense a partisan one until the
recent local elections mentioned, but the
Democrats being in hopeless minority
in the state viii not hesitate 10 avail
themselves of anything that viii afford
them a temporary advantage. Hence
the interest in the situation in that state.

COMMUNICATION DAY.

It has been said that a correct estimate
of the intelligence and moral status of a
people may be had from the care and at
tention they give to the last resting place
of their dead. If that be true in local
and restricted sense, with what force
must it apply to nation as test of its
patriotism and gratitude. 1t is, indeed,
pleasing to note that one of the most
gratifying auguries that love Of country
nor grateful remembrance of the ines
Unable service rendered by the nations
benefactors, its hero-dead, have lost not
one jot nor decreased one title, is the IN
animity and alacrity with which the peo-
pie Of the American states observe this
commemoration day. Well may the peo-
pie turn from their daily vocations and
as they gather around the graves Of
those who dared to do and die for their
counuy's veal, mediate upon the in
volvings of the solemn though pleasant
occasion. No other object lesson could
be conceived that would so impress the
mind and heart of the living of their OBJ
legation and duty as citizens to the gov
eminent of which they severally form so
important part. And as the tear Of re-
greet for the sad fate Of the departed falls
upon the consecrated sod, may that tear
but clear the vision for the future as it
brings the flush of pride to the check and
smile of appreciation to the cOuntenance.
And as we turn from the sacred duty Of
the hour and day, may the performance
of that duty stimulate all to a more
faithful and conscientious performance
of every duty that goes to make up the
sum of good citizenship.
