"ApRIL showers bring May flow
ers.' April is the most poetic
month of the year, all smiles and
tears. A burst Of sunshine and a
gentle shower of rain, like a way
ward, wlllful child. Mother Earth
mantles herself with a green verdurc,
the wild flowers spring up, the trees
begin to bud and bloom. the birds
to sing and all nature rejoice. The
feathered songsters may be heard
by day, while the festive frog war
bles sweet lullabys at night. The
dude and dudine will soon be hang
ing on the front gate while the
"Man in the moon" looks pityingly
on. The old hen will soon be in
dustriously scratching up the newly
made garden, while the good house
wife yainly tries to throw stones at
her. Lovers will be out strolling
by moonlight and even the tom-cat
will be promenading on the back
yard fence and plaintiyely calling
for a mate.

HEN fruit and flowers were spe-
cialties for last Sunday, and on an
average Of two to each individual,
we have made calculation that at
least 1870, 900, 900 of the former were
consumed in "Uncle Sans" do
mains on that day. Yea, verify,
the American hen is a great institu-
ton and is just now cackling about
the eggs-act bill of Congress, in
creasing the duty on imported stale
eggs from the old country, so that
our hens will not now have to com
pete with the pauper labor Of the
European hen.

regulations governing the same.
The report was longer than the
moral law, but Of slightly different
nature. 1t was so long and tedious
that but few heard it or kept track
of 1t, and as the carrying out of it
was TO be in tie hands of the county
committee, tie convention adopted
it, hit or miss.
Holy, the big imported Dutch
politician from the Furnace, who
was present to represent Col. Mem
ygie and the highly protected mo-
nOpolist, struck the keynote by
making motion that the conven-
ton accept the resignation Of the
two late lamented lOgger-head com
mittces, acith the thanks Of the par
~. This carried with a rush and
the great transaction was done.
The different district delegations
then proceeded to select their mem
Der of the newly constructed COM
mittee. The result was as follows {:
Kingwood-George A. Hoffman.
Valleys. l.. Cobun.
Lyon-Charles Jessop.
Reno-Wilham a. Watson.
Portland-Wm. b. Freeland.
Union-Dave S. Wilt.
Plcasant-L. f. Miller.
Grant-Milton Kemp.
The convention then adjourned
sine die, after which the new county
committee held amceting and elect
ed the following Executive Commit
tee: ID. NJ. Wotring, Chairman,
Neil J. Fortney and a. G. Holy.
This new committee holds until
the primary election of '92. Fort
ncy and Holy belong to the Dawson
faction and the rest of the commit
tee is about equally divided. As
the candidates are to be named by
Straight primaries hereafter, there
won't be much chance for the Boss
es to get in their work. The con
vcn!ion was large and fine body
of men, selected from among the
best citizens of the county. The

mittce, and now see if the J0uynal
and E'ra don't both make the same
claim.

TIE crow-nmg act OF the new
tariff bill is the eggs-act part of it
that raises the duty on imported
eggs and places our hen in IL posi-
ton to compete with the paupor
labor of the old country hen. This
was probably done to accommodate
an Elk president of the L. S. who
Is now in the hennery business and
aspires to become a bloated monop-
olist. The next thing we know
there will be an egg trust formed
but one consolation, the public will
have, if they attempt to corner the
market, by buying up all the eggs
and holding them in reserve, to run
mp prices, it will soon become a
very rotten affair.

AGRICuLTuRAL REPORT.

We are indebted to Col. John W.
Guseman, of Reedsville, for a copy
of his report TO the department of
Agriculture, on the condition of
live stock and winter grain in this
county. The circular is returnable
April |, and is sent out by Hon. J.
NJ. Rusk, Secretary of Agriculture.
Mr.. Guseman is Statistical Core
spondent for Preston County. We
quote from tie report as follows
The topics presented in the
April circular are very important
relating to the bread and meat sup
ply of the country, and to the lar
gest part Of our agricultural surplus
which seeks market IN foreign
countries. helping to feed Il needy
and waiting foreign population.
The popular interest IN the wheat
crop, distinctiyely the bread crop Of
the country, is at least equal to that
felt in the prospects Of any other
crop. 1t is a crop of great impor-
lance in view of the present aspect
Of foreign demand. Date of seed
ing wheat in 1889, from Sept. 10
to Oct. Is.
The condition of the soil was not
favorable to seeding and gcrmina-
ton, being too wet at the time
In December, January and Febru-
airy it made n fine growth, but the
hard freezing in March injured the
wheat some. The winter was very
favorable for wheat till March l..
The report estimates the present
condition of the crop at 90 per cent
on basis Of 100.
The live stock of the country is
in good condition, owing to the
mild winter. The general condition
of horses is estimated Mt 100 per
cent and cattle 0S. No diseases
have been prevalent during the past
year, and only about eight out of
every 1000 cattle have died from all
diseases. The Oydesdale breed Of
horses are preferred. The Jersey
cattle for dairy purposes and the
Shorthorn for beef. Ninety-five
per cent represents the comparative
condition Of sheep and it is cstima-
ted that about % out Of every thous-
and have died from all causes during
the past year. The Shropshire,
Southdown and Cotswold are deem
ed the most profitable for this
country. Swine are in about the
same general condition as sheep,
and no disease has been prevalent.
The Po!and-China is regarded as
the most popular for our section.

above tables that although West
Virginia covers practically IS pes-
cent Of the coal area of the great
Appalachian field her productions
Of coal mined last year amounted
in round numbers to only five per
cent. This, OF course, is simply
owing to the fact that West Virgil
ginia entered late INFO the lists
and has been handicapped in her
growth by want Of railroad facilities.
But a great change is taking place
IN the State, aud the silence of her
valleys and the cchos Of her hills
are being alike aroused from the
lethargy OF the past. On every
hand mining operations are being
started or are already under way
Every week brings fresh adyices of
the formation of new companies. of
the influx of capital, and the in
crease in the value Of land. A spirit
OF aggression is abroad and West
Virginia is on the eve Of great
era in her coal mining and indus
trial development.

PROTECTING THE FARMER.

Recent elections in the west midi
cate that the farmer is at last get
ting his eyes open on the tariff, and
finding out that it is protection to
the pocketbook and bank account
of the monOpolist, and clear case
of robbery to the farmer and work
ingman. Therefore the republican
leaders in Congress have worried
themselves all winter trying to get
salt on the pOsterior extremi ty Of
the farmer and have at last reported
an increase of tariff on corn and
wheat. When we come to carefully
look into the matter it seems like a
huge joke. The idea Of the fa, mer
wanting protection on his corn when
we produce go. 100000 bushels
more than we consume and the
farmers in the west are burning il
for fuel, because it won't pay the
cost Of shipping to market, and yet
a tax on foreign corn that wouldn' t
come to this market if it could be
shipped free and admitted free of
duty Is called protecting the farmer.
Why if corn could be stolen i'm the
old country and brought over here
free, gratis for nothing, it couldn' t
compete with our corn that is used
by the farmers of tie west for fuel.
The new tariff bill increases the
tariff on wheat, when our farmers
now have ON hand 1876, 900. 900
bushels Of last years crop get unsold
and they can hardly get enough for
1T to pay for hauling it to market.
Does any sensible man suppose that
the crowded countries of the old
world can raise such a surplus as
this; is our surplus and low prices
caused by a rush Of imported wheat
and corn from tho populous coun-
tries Of Europe, that barely have
land enough for q yard and garden?
The fact is. we are depending on
those very people to buy our surplus
for the importation and consump-
ton Of foreign wheat is practically
unknown iu this country. Our

CIRCUIT COURT.
COURT NOTES.


Prosecuting Attorney, Fortney
made magnificent speech before
the jury in the Dunn murder case.
1t was able, exhaustive. fair and
impartial and everybody agreed that
it was one of the best pleas ever
made at the bar here.
Sheriff Danl r. jackson makes
Il No. One, first class officer and
discharges the duties Of his Office in
a business like way and enforccs the
orders of the court and order in tho
court IN Il prompt and efficient
manner.
There was not many trials IN the
state cases this term, as most Of the
parties indicted confessed judgment.
They have got to find States Attor-
ney Fortncy out and don't want to 90
to trial and fight INN, If they can
avoid it.
Julius X. Monroe makes good
Deputy, and is Il valuable assistant
to the sheriff during court. lie is
an expert civil engineer also and
prepared drawing from an actual
survey Of the pump house and sur
roundings at Rowlcsburg, where the
killing Of Moore took place. This
plat was used by the lawyers in tho
examination of the witnesses.
John W. Watson, the very eff
cient and obliging clerk of tins
court, seems 10 have the business Of
his Office down fine and to give
general satisfaction.
John NJ. Crane, assistant to cir
cult CLERK Watson, is n fine penman
and understands the business thor
oughly. He is frequently employed
by the clerks Of the other counties
in this circuit to assist them during
court.

term Of court were the follow

His Honor, Judge IJoke prcsides
over the court with dignity, and
clearly demonstrates eminent Judi
cial ability. lie is making frat
class judge, and we believe dischar-
! ging the duties Of his Office with
fairness to all parties. in spite Of the
fact that some of our democratic
contemporaries have been bowling
about him removing democratic
commissioners and appointing re-
publicons instead. which he has
perfect right TO do il Inc chooses to.
as the matter Is at the pleasure of
the court, and he is only following
out the precedent established by his
democratic predecessors.

Protection That Don't Protect.

Ohio has heretofore been consid-
cred a high protection state, but 1T
seems the protection guaranteed
every citizen by the constitution,
fails to work in some instances and
allows the wholesale and retail adj
mission of free raw material, as
witness the case of farmer John
Lowric, Of that State, whose wife
not only takes the cake, but the
whole bake-shop. About two weeks
ago, she presented her llege lord
and master with four babies, two
boys aud two sgirls, all alive and
we'll developed. -Four years ago
Mrs. Lowric presented her husband
with trlplets, and year later with
twins, making FIVE in one year, and
ut two births, and in all zine chill
dren in four years and at three
births. We think the government
should turn the Cherokee rcscrva
ton over to this family and give
them room according to their
strength. We are wont to brag on
the resources Of West Virginia, but
in the baby farming line, we will
have nothing moro to say till we
can hear from some Of the back
counties, and for the present will
yield the palm to the Buckeye
state for the prize baby show.

Inconsistency. Thou art a Brick.Bat
Of the First Water.

The check and inconsistency of
the JONrHai would knock OUT a
government mule in the first round
and put the devil himself to shame.
For instance, in the account of the
Dunn trial in the Jouynal last week
occurs the following remarkably
cheeky statement
We had expected to lay before the readers Of
the Journal the evidence in full this week; but
Judge lioNc requested tine Journal not TO do so
for the reason that should we publish the evil
dencc and this jury should fail to agree. the
ends oflustice might thereby be defeated FOR
every one having read the evidence and natu-
rally forming an opinion theyefrom, an impartial
Jury could not be obtained for second trial.
The journal proposes to respect the wish of
the court and we shall publsh the evidence
ncxt week should the jury not hang
This reminds us OF the allegorv
of the Devil, when he took a certain
great man up INTO high mountain
and showing him the world all
spread out below offered it to him
if he would fall down and worship
him. We would infer from the
above tract that thc JoHyRM was
the only paper in Preston County,
and was read by every man, woman
ard child in the county. The court
made the same request Of the ARGUS
(also the ErG) but we were more
modest about it and dld not herald
to the world that we and we only
had been so requested and totally
ignore all other papers, when we
knew, Gas did the JoUTRaD and 80
stated that the same request had
been made Of all the papers in town.
"Ihc JoHThol proposes to respect
the wish Of the court" Yes. like
u woman who, convinced against
her viii, remains Of the same opin-
ion still. This old saw represents
the consistency Of the JOurnM ex-
actly, for after making the above
ambiguous statement, it goes right
on to give not only a complete his
tory OF the case, but all the evidence
not verbatim, but i'm substance.
As the jury failed TO hang either
themselves or the prisoner, we
suppose the readers Of the J0urnaI
will be bored this week with n rep
clifton Of the evidence. We offer
our sympathy and as every man
woman and child i'm the country
reads the JoUrHol (this is a lic)
what q wholesale infection Of stale
news this will be. We hope they
viii survive it and be able TO read
thc JoVrnaTs explanation i'm the
succeeding issue. Whata fortunate
thing The jury decided this case and
did not hang and give Dunn Sec
ond trial. in that case the ends Of
Justice might thereby have been
defeated, for according to our cs-
tccmed contemporary, "cvcry one
having read the evidence and natu-
rally formed an opinion thcrcfrom,
au impartial jury could not be OBJ
tanned for second trial" Verify,
the JOUrU0i is brick bat of the
first water, and so cntcrprisiug that
it ovcr.rcachcs itself more than its
enemies

LAST Sabbath was Easter Sunday

we ever saw this time of the year.
All nature seemed to bask in the
glad sunshine of the coming spring
and it seemed like high treason
against Dame Nature to remain in

prediction is that If it rains on
Easter Sunday it will rain seven
Sundays in succession, and as it is
"a poor rule that wont work both
ways, we may now look out for seven
