The joke Of the session in the Pro

measure foreshadow in the speech
from tho throne for giving . free
homestead Of 100 aores to every liz
ing family of IL children Of the same
father and mother. Families of II
and over are by no means scarce
among the French Canadian popula.
ton Of Canada, especially in the rural
districts, but the merriment created
by the proposition OF the government
proceeds from It's official recognition
and proposed encouragement Of Iegit-
innate fecundity. The bill has not, as
yet, been discussed in . general way,
but when brought down in detail its
provisions will doubtless be subjected
to more or less humorous criticism.
To what extent Canadians are fruit.
full and multiply and replenish the
earth may be CLEANED from the fact
that when Canada was ceded to Brit
ain in l760 the French Canadian pop
ulation in America numbered but
GO,0OO. In 1870 years the compare
tive handful of people has increased
to 3,SO0,OOO without any aid from
foreign immigration.
A few illustrations OF individual
obedience in Canada to the divine
command to Noah will serve to indi.
cate how this gigantic result has been
ob,ai"ed. The Hon. Gideon Ou,,net,
rx-Prime Minister Of the Province Of
Quebec, and now Superintendent of
Public Instruction, is the 9th child
Of the same father and mother. That
this 10 not = phenomenal instance OF
proli6caoy in Canada is shown by the
existence of . we'll defined rule in
the French Canadian parishes that the
26,h child in family is adopted and
brought up by the parish priest. One.
twenty. sixth is the proportion Of the

On Monday, the 18th of this
month, Miss Lula Dixon, the pretty
liz year old daughter of Joseph Dix.
on, a leading business man engaged
in the timber and saving business
on Poca, about Is miles from Ripley,
jackson county, on the Charleston
pike, disappeared from her home
under peculiar circumstances. The
young girl was one of the prettiest
in that section of the countay, and
that is saying good deal, when II
is known that the fairest, prettiest
daughters of Eve in the State are to
be found along the old Charleston
road. She was traced to Ripley,
thence to Ravenswood, the county
scat. and from there only a few DAYS
ago to this city, where it is known
she is now in hiding. That the girl
is in this city there seems to be no
question.
1t is now believed that a travel
ing man who at intervals of longer
or shorter duration makes his home
here, has brought the young girl to
this city.-Pdrkersburg Sentinel.

CLEAR ACROSS THE STATE.
Is How Prof White says the

Prof L c. White, Professor of
Geology in the State University,
said in an interview with tho New
York Star the other day concerning
the West Virginia oil field aud its
development across the State:
For years believe that the oil
fields of Western Pennsylvania ex-
tended down well into West Virgin
ia, If not clear across the State. The
same geological formation parallel
ed the same mountain range, and /
could not see why oil should not be
found. When oil was discovered in
Washington county was sure of it,
but practical oil men secuted the
idea. Oil was struck in the Wash
ington county district in the strata
known as the manifold sand" and
il knew the same sand to exist
through West Virginia.
"The sand gave but one big well
in Washington county, and oil men
thought it too spotted" anduncer-
tain to invest money in West Viz
ginia for long time, but finally, in
1885 and 1886, they commenced try
ing, and now there are fully thirty
wells in the State. They are mostly
in Monongalia county, just across
the line from Green county, Pa, and
now drilling is being pushed far
south of that. The Standard Oil
people, the Guffeys, and a great
many others, have secured leases
and are pushing operations. Ipush-
ed further south in the next county.
and pnt down we'll which is doing
only IA few barrels day, but enough
to show what there is in the field,
and it is only aquestion of year or
two until an oil belt will be develop
ed clear across the State to the Big
Sandy river. 1t is doing a great
deal for West Virginia in develop
ing its other resources. Oil and
natural gas and the new railroads
which are being built all over the
State are doing wonders for the
Commonwealth"

States silent vote of / ,S54, IA, and
the average silent vote to the Rep
rcsentative isno larger in the South
ern than ia the Northern States
A comparison of the figures shows
that 10 the Presidential election OF
1883 there was a larger silent vote
in New England than in the South
in proportion to the voting strength
of theitwo sections. If the vote is
suppressed in the South, why this
large silent vote in the North?
{ Much has been said by Republi-
can politicians Of the denial of rep
Congress to the col
ored people of the South. Let us
sec how Democratic voters are
treated in Republican States. In
illinois 347,371 Democrats elect 2
Representatives, while 370,475 Re
publicans elect IS. In other words
it takes 1876 Democrats and only
Is, 498 Republicans to elect Con-
gresham. In Iowa 1887 Demo-
crats elect 1rIsepresentative, while
q l,59s Republicans elect 10. In
Kansas ils2 1904 Republicans elect
10 Representatives., while 1898
Democrats can't elect one, or are
denied representation. In New
York it takes AZ, 3s9 Democrats but
only 34,I05 Republicans to elect a
Representative. In Ohio 1921
Democrats are required and only
26, 003 Republicans. In Pennsylva-
MIA il is nearly as bad.
~ These are the results of the scan
dalous manner in which these States
have been gerrymandered by Re
publican Legislatures. Here, then,
we have another ease suggesting the
Inconsistency and folly OF throwing
stones by people dwelling in glass

tice in the South. Independent.

The FoolisI, Farmer.

Lafayette journal.
A prominent Republican farmer
in the south end of this county was
offered in October, 1888, 81. cents
per pound for 60 head of cattle. He
then had on hands about 10000
pounds. This farmer believed in
the assertions of the Republican
orators and papers that in case Har-
rison should be elected the price of
everything the farmer raised would
be higher. He also had faith in
Harrison's election. He refused the
offer, saying that after the election
he would get cents for his cattle.
He sold the same a few weeks ago
for Al cents per pound, and lost
somewhere in the neighborhood of
$1,000, counting the loss of feeding,
etc, and allowing increased weight.
Yet this farmer is doubtless prepar-
ed to listen 10 more fairy stories in
the next campaign, but hundreds of
his fellow farmers are beginning to
have their eyes opened.

The old soldiers no doubt OBJ
serve with pain that the ad-
ministration is moving along in an
extremely leisurely manner in the
matter Of universal pensions. Very
little is heard nowadays about
panper pensions, service pensions.
or any other sort of pensions. In
fact the suppression and removal
of the lamented Tanner seems to
have exhausted the ability of the
patriots who are supposed to be
acting as trustees for the old sol
diers in the matter of shoveling
out the wealth in the national
treasury. There are not nearly so
many resolutions and denuncia-
tions from the veterans as when
Cleveland was President. The
reason for these things is no far
to seek. The Grand Army of the
Republic is simply a huge machine
which is manipulated at the pleas
ure of the Republican politicians

follows:

ed, "but do you know what this
weather portends? Do You know
that before the first of next August
$4,000 of the inhabitants of this
town may be slumbering in their
graves? There are many evil cities
in the United States, but that has
nothing to do with this. You have
forced it upon Christ. You let fifty
more of these days come and the
population will have to hide out or
the bnrials will be by the ten thous-
ands. You say: 'Mr. Jones, what
do you know about it?' know the
year 1890 is going to be an epochal
year, and some things have gone
just as far as they can go. There
may be thousands out of this meet
ing who will never see the first of
next July"

The contest for the Office of Lieu
tenant Governor of Ohio has been
decided by the State Senate adver-
sely to the contestee. A great deal
of testimony was taken and great
many fraudulent votes thrown out.
The contestee did not offer any tes-
timony against the proof submitted
by the contestant, aud there was
nothing else to be done than to de.
eide for Mr.. Marquis, the Democrat.
The vote settling the matter was
strictly a party one, as it always is
in such cases, whether it involves
the office of the President of the
United States or that of cross
roads constable.
1t is a year remarkable for close
contests and small majorities and
Republican deviltry. The Legisla-

that makes party passion the only
basis of decision of questions that

English capital.

While the tariff revisers are at
work in Washington the continued
investment of English capital in
our protected industries must make
queer reading. A computation Just
made states that about $3.50, 600. 600
of foreign capital is now getting the
benefit of the tariff for protecting
our infant industries. 1t is stated
that the foreign syndicate has OBJ
tanned absolute control of the pot
terry industry. The profits afforded
by the protective tax will go direct
ly from the American pockets into
European hands. In these syndi.
cate arrangements we never hear of
the interests of labor. OF course
the foreigners will want labor as
cheap as it can be procured, even If
1T should become necessary to i'm
port it. 1t has its humorous side
this gobbling up of protected indus
tries by the "blasted British" They
will naturally use British gold to
maintain protection. 1t is not al
together new thing for free traders
across the water to become intense
protectionists on this side. Mr..
Carnegie is shining example,
