SCHOOL NOTES.

We had the pleasure of visiting
the Kingwood School, recently, and
owing to the fact, that few of tho
patrons of the school were some
what opposed to the Principal ( most
of the objections, we believe, being
for The reason that he is from an
other state our visit was accom-
panied by considerable curiosity;
but we arc glad to say, that we
found the school in excellent work
ing order and under as fine discip-
line as any We have ever visited.
We also availcd ourselves of the
opportunity to observe tho work
and discipline in the Grammer and
Primary Departments. The order
and systematic arrangement OF
these departments are certainly to
be admired, and show o great
amount Of skill and careful work on
the part Of the teachers. The ad-
vancement of the pupils, which is
the important part of the work,
speaks for ITSELF and for the teach
ing ability of those in charge.
We think the Kingwood people
have reasons to congratulate them
selves on having superior educa-
tional advantages for, their children,
and should show their appreciation
OF the teachers work by visiting the
school and aiding them in every
possible way, and we believe We arc
safe in saying that those who give
the school the encouragement OF
their presence will be SO we'll en-
tertained and pleased with tho
work that they will repeat their
visit many times during the winter.

PENCIL POINTS ON THE TARIFF.

The bare-faced inconsistency OF
the Journal would put the devil to
shame and beats the mixed up
weather we have been having all
hollow. 1t says last week in an
article headed, keep these facts
before the people" trying to palli-
ate the iniquity of the new highway
robbery tariff bill.
"The new tariff law will not
raise the price to the American con
sumner Of a single manufactured ar
ticle that can be termed "a necessary
expenses.
In the same issue you will find a
schedule list of the increased cost on
tin buckets, coffee pots, tin cups,
dish pans, milk pans, etc., as
caused by the "new tariff law. !"
Now does any sane man believe that
the importer or manufactures will
allow this increased duty to come
out of his profits +? Certainly not.
He will simply add it to the price
Of the article and the customer who
buys it and uses it will pay it in the
hard cash out Of his own pocket.
Brother Dawson will surely not
pretend to say that the purchase of
these articles is not u necessary ex-
pense. IL he means that the in
creased tar on them is not II neccs.
sary expense, we perfectly agree with
him and will go much further and
say that it is an outrage on the
American people, and the editor of
the Journal knows it, but dare not
admit the truth. Bro. Dawson
wants the tax abolished on tobacco
and whiskey, which he seems to re-
gard as nccessaries of life, and ad-
vocates higher tax on clothing and
bread-stuiT, which he probably con
siders Injuries Of life and the pur-
chasing Of such luxuries as m un-
necessary expense. This is the prop
osition of the Republican party.
They offer us free whlskey and to.
bacco and want us to 60 naked and
hungry and vote the Republican
ticket.

convincing him that the foreigner

Did you notice that Mr.. John W.
Watson's "Plain Statement" as
circulated throughout the county
and published in the Journal last
week, was dated October Goth, ten
days before il came out and two
weeks before the election, to give
out the idea that il was made in
plenty time for q reply from any
one, when the truth OF the matter
is that IL was guarded with the
closet care and not intended to ap-
pear until too late for any reply.
No circular was to be allowed out
here till the ARGUS was out and tho
JOurHa( was held back till Thurs-
day night before appearing, all Of
which proved very conclusiyely that
no reply was intended or wanted or
expected till after the election. If
so, why was not this statement
made sooner? Why was it held
back until the last issue Of the pa.
pers before the election /?

Fat thing, the Mckinley bill !?
Yes, that was the bill aud the fat
thing was Trust,
Are Trusts good things? ? Yes,
for the persons who are in them.
But it took up all the sidewalk
and stepped on several things YOU
said were industries; the Bill step
ped on them, too, only it had
something in It's pocket that YOU
said were infant industries and

Mckinley bill protects. The 9th.

They do not get protection. They

That is Mr.. Quay.
What makes him look so uneasy?

Has he not had big jobs before |?
Oh, yes; but this is the biggest one of

What has he got to do? He has
got to elect a man Governor of a

living in Washington, and they are
all Mr.. Quay's friends. Mr.. Har-

IL makes the home more dear:

And when a man has millions
IL gives him miliisns more
II saves our vessels from the seas

And makes tho English take our goods
Across the sursing tide.
1t gives our sewing women leave
TO earn their daily bread,
BY working day and night.
Al forty cents head.
BY II. our little children work
In factories are given,
Which often shortcns many year
Their Journey up 70 heaven.
IL keeps the naughty Chinese out,
But lets all Others
And gives US boards 81 aldermen
Who deal in rum and gin.
