GRANDMA's GIRLIsH GOWNS.

Paled and yellow by time are they.
Even love can not say nay.
Old and faded, once new and gay;
Bright and gay in faf-off day.
When grandmamma was girl they say;
Grandmamma, now so worn and grayl
Sweet with scent of the damask rose,
Blossoms fashion comes and goes,
And their perfume, now passe
Was well liked in tar-off day.
When grandmamma was girl, they saw;

On the daintiest of them all

Grandpapa kissed the rest away,
Far away in far off day,
When grandmamma was girl. they say;

All the dainty gowns I'll lay;

POLITICAL MURDER.

The murder of f. NJ. D. Cook, in
Jasper County, in Miss, for the
heinous crime Of being Il Repubi-
can, does not help the cause Of the
opponents of the Federal Election
bill.
The circumstance OF this, the lat
est political outrage in the South,
are thus reported by a special cor,
respondent of the Birmingham Ala
Age Herald: Cook was making a
canvass under the management of
the chairman of the Republican
County Committee. He had filled
two of his appointments when he
was visited by ID committee OF the
best known citizens of the neighbor.
hood, who requested him to stop his
canvass, as it was arousing bad
feeling between the blacks and
whites, which caused a spirit of un.
easiness among the whites, who
feared that il the canvass should be
continued it might end seriously for
both races. Cook declared that he
would continue the canvass, no mat
ter at what cost. He was warned
that the animosity he engendered
and the fear of serious troable with
the negroes might end seriously for
him. He proceeded on his canvass,
and was on his way to his fourth
appointment when he was shot"
The able advocates of free speech
and untrammeled elections who
argued so effectively with Mr.. Cook
by means of rifle ball, are also OPP
posed to the Federal Election law.
They call it a " Force bill.
The moral Of the Cook murder,
the New York Tribune observes, {" is
that the Lodge bill is an infamous
partisan measure designed to stir
up trouble at the South and to de.

SAVE IRELAND FROM FAMINE.

Ireland's potato crop is a failure.
The appalling significance of these
words will be understood by those
who remember the horrors of 1S47.
They have been preserved in song
and story, but there are many living
oday in this city who contributed
to the relief of the unfortunate Irish
people at that time. The potato crop
is the main reliance for food in many
sections of that oppressed country,
and the report comes from across the
sea that already the dreaded fever
which accompanies potato famine
has seized upon some of the people.
This fever, which is also known as
English cholera, is caused, in the
first place, by eating diseased pota
toes, but as gauDt famine stalks over
the land, it selects its victims impair.
TALLY, its voracity increasing rapidly,
like that of wild animals with the
taste Of blood.
In some Irish districts the pota.
toes are so bad that hogs are made
sick by eating them, and the potato
fields have been plowed up and plant
ed in cabbages with the desperate
hope of making some provision
against the winter months. So i'm
minent is the danger, it is asserted,
that in a few weeks thousands will
be in danger Of actual starvation IN.
less relief comes. The sluggish Eng
lIsh mind has not yet awakened to
the full meaning of the situation,
and it may be that many will perish
before adequate steps are taken to
furnish the destitute with wholesome
provisions unless help reaches then
from abroad.
The Irish naturally look to this
country in their hour Of trial Nil.
lions of their brethren have settled
here, and are prospecting aud aiding
in the advancement and prosperity
OF their adopted country. Many are
here now who witnessed the horrors
of 1S47 and have, therefore, a thrill
ing remembrance Of the scenes aud
incidents of that disastrous year.
They should initiate a movement at
once for the relief of their people
over the sea. The United Safes
went nobly to the rescue in 1S47,
and will do so again, but prompt az
ton is necessary. It is better to
prevent disease and famine than to
check them after they have made
head among the popuIation.-Amer.

there, estimated as high as 10000 on
Thursday. Long lines of cars were

are many tents and cottages on the

but fine. The machinery exhibit was
extensive, from the smallest invention
TO the latest improved machinery for
agricultural and mechanical purpose.
The grounds are low but well shaded

WILLIAM L. RENoMINATED.

KEYSER, Aug. 17.-Wm. L.Wilson
was nominated for Congress to day.
There was no other candidate. 1t
was a convention of politicians, and
the stock in trade of speaker and
platform abuse of everything not
Democratic.
PARTY LINES TO BE DRAWN.
Mr.. wilson sounded the key note
in his speech, and the platform en-
phasizes it. Party lines are to be
drawn closely and the canvass is to
be conducted on that line. 1t will
not be a campaign of argument but
of appeals to party prejudice; not a
campaign of education but one
which will stir up the bitterest party
feeling with a view to holding in line
Democrats who are open to convic.
ton, or from whose eyes the scales
are about to fall. Some Democrats
here have frankly admitted this to
me, and commend Mr.. Wilson's
halangue to day, which was an i'm
passioned partisan appeal wholly
void of argument, as starting things
off just right.
WALKERS NOMINATING SPEECH.
Nominations then being in order
the roll of counties was called, and
when Berkeley was called Mr..
Stuart Walker, of Martlnsburg,
placed in nomination Hon. William
i. Wilson. Mr.. Walkers speech
was a remarkably f1owery effort. He
was bitter III his deuunciatlon of
Speaker Reed and the Republican
majority IN Congress, which he said
was tyrannical and revolutionary,
and If allowed to continue in its
present course would sink the coun-
try into the bottom of hell. After
an appeal to the prejudice of the
members of the convention, he nomi. |
mated Mr.. Wilson as the man who |
would undo the awful wrongs that |
have been perpetrated. Mr.. viii.
sons name was greeted with loud |
applause, but it was not prolonged.

hints: Make up your mind quickly when
you see an article advertised, or the
watchful buyers who are fortunate
to be nearer, will carry all the goods
away before your letter reaches US. Do
not be too exacting as to particular style
and often we can substitute goods equal

The attempt of the Democratic

candidate for Judge, is dismal
failure in the face of the facts. Berke.

good that the Democratic papers are

RIDING THE PARTY TO DEATH.

On the death of Judge Green, Daniel
B. Lucas was appointed to the vacancy
on the bench fthe Supreme Court, by
Governor Wilson, assistant arch con-
spirator in destroying Democratic
usages and CO rebel against the party.
In course of time, Mr.. Camden began
to think the wrong done to him might
be righted and began to make his ar
engagements to succeed Senator FaHlk-
ner in 1898. This alarmed Faulkner
and the former leader of his party
found himself confronted with deter
mined opposition by the very man
and his friends whose fortunes had
been built on his misfortune. Camden
had controlled the convention of 1888,
but that of 1890 got beyond his reach.
The man of all Others who had done
the most to defeat him was nominat-
ed for the only Office in the gift of the
convention. Lucas was thus vindica-
ted and endorsed /; Camden thus being
reproved and thus checked in his new
move.
So as indicated above stronger in
fiuence accomplished the result at the
late Democratic convention, which is
now producing confusion aud sulking
ia the party. 1t was not the setting
apart and shelving of Lucas by Cam
den that occurred, but the promotion
of him by men entrenched in power.
These men are Senator Faulkner and
Senator Kenna. Faulkner is not
ready to restore to Camden the seat
which he acquired by circumstances
much in literature of accident so far
as he was personally concerned.
Lucas is more his nominee than OF
any other man. Tie significance of
the whole affair is that Mr.. Camden is
doomed politically if he remains in
the Democratic party. Faulkner and
Kenna are in Office and therefore in
power. If the words generosity and
gratitude are in their vocabulary, they
Fave closed the pages on which they
occur.
This is the situation. 1t remains to
be seen whether or not Mr.. Camden
and his devoted friends, of whom he
has many, will kiss the hand that
smote them. Daniel b. Lucas has
been the means of the former leaders
downfall That downfall he secured
by rebellion against party govern
ment. Nothing but devoted adher-
ence to that government, on which he
must now rely, by him whose fortune
he wrecked, can give him even the
prospect Of an election Richie ca

THE FOREIGN WHEAT MARKET.

Free trade attorneys, British and
American, persistently seek the sup
port Of farmers by holding out the
promise of enlarged foreign markets
for the products Of the farm as the
result Of ENGRAVING the Golden poll
cy into our National legislation.
The hollowness Of such promise
becomes apparent when it is remem-
bered that not only is the quantity
of farm products which foreigners
will consume limited, but that the
privilege of supplying this is con.
tested by other farmers who are in
position to crowd prices below the
cost OF production in this country.
Take the case of wheat, which is the
chief article of export from grain
raising farms. Last year the wheat
shipped abroad as grain and flour
amounted to about S9,000,000 bush
els. OF this nearly four.fifths went
to Western Europe-over So, 2S9,5S4
bushels of it to Great Britain, which
was less than the average sold there
for the past eighteen years. Such
falling off i'll the quantity sold to our
British customers is not the result
of our inability to supply their needs,
but Of the fact that wheat raisers
from other countries were on hand
as competitors ready to sell for a
less price than American wheat
raisers could afford to take tor their
grain.
While the quantity Of American
wheat sold to Great Britain fell off
from over ninety million bushels in
1887. to fifty-fye and a quarter mill
ion bushels in 1889, the quantity
supplied by Russia increased nearly
fouriold in the same time that is to
say, from 10,354,607 bushels in 1887,
to 39,S00,372 bushels in 1859. Not
because the United States had not
the wheat to sell, but because wheat
could be bought cheaper from Russia
than America. Consumers were too
hard pressed by poverty to give
heed to theories Of reciprocity in
commerce. They bought their bread
of those who sold cheapest, and as
the Russian serf works for less
money than has to be paid the Amer
lean farm laborer, not only have
prices been hammered down, but
Russian wheat-supplemented by
more than sixteen million bushels
from India in 1SS9-has been crowd
ing the American product from the
markets of Western Europe.
This is the unequal contest to
which free trade attorneys urge the
American farmer. In pursuit of the
phantom of foreign market in
which he can sell only at loss, they
ask him to cripple the resources of
that home market which now con-
sumes nine-tenths of all farm pro-
ducts, and which will, if adequately
protected against underpaid foreign
labor, in the near future supply
American consumers for all that the
American farmer has to sell.
