ERIGHTEEI. FALL

FROM A BALLOON AT WOODSFIELD FAIR.
Woodsfeld Spirit.
When the balloon was about to ascend
and the word was given for all to let
loose, Milton C. Redden, an old resident
of Woodsfield was noticed still holding to
the ring in the mouth of the balloon, he
descended the rope and caught the second
ring, he was again ordered to loose but
still he clung with death grip and
seemed determined to go up. After it
had ascended about 30 feet the arOnaut,
seeing that Redden was not going to drop
cut the parachute loose and let it go.
The balloon with Redden still clinging on,
ascended over three hundred feet in plain
view of the vast mass of people below,
when he let loose and dropped to the
ground-a dead man. 1t was a suicide, as
he had remarked to parties during the
day that he was going up in the balloon
and it would be the last of Milt, but it
was thonght he was joking-but he evil
IDENTIFY meant it and decided on that plan
to end his life. 1t was the most thrilling
sight ever witnessed by any one in this
connty-to see a man whom all knew
dropping in mid air from height OF 300
feet above their heads. He leaves a
wife and four children. No one is fe-
spOnSible for the death.

A BODY known as the Farmers Ma
tional Congress concluded its session at
Council Bluffs, Iowa, on Friday. The
resolutions adopted give fair idea of
their leading purposes. They demand
liberal appropriations for internal i'm
provements; the unlimited coinage of
silver;the abolition of the National bank
system, and the issuance of full legal
tender Treasury notes in lieu of Nation
al bank notes. They also urge the elect
ion of United States Senators by direct
vote of the people; the adoption of a
graduated income tax, and the limita-
tion of the exclusive use of patents to a
term of ten years. Nothing is said in
their resolutions about that most i'm
portant of questions to the farmer, the
tariff, and this is explained by the fact
that the committee were divided in senti-
ment between the policies of free trade
and protection, and that no common
ground of agreement could be reached.
To avoid a rupture the subject was ig
nored, and it is reasonable to assume
that when the members of the Congress
come to vote for members of Congress
they will support the candidate of the
party whose policy on this vital issue
best accords with their respective views.

THIS year is becoming noted for dead
locks in Congressional conventions, but
the alleged Democrats of this district
"takes the cake" so to speak. In other
districts the trouble has been to arrive
at an agreement as to who should be
the candidate, but in this the brethren
can not, so far, after repeated meetings,
agree where the convention shall be
held. After several experiences about
so trivial matter as the place of meet
ing, what may not be expected when
the solemn convention is assembled,
with so many Richmonds in the field?
The brethren must get together Such
trifing will never do. If there are good
objections to Bellaire and the other
towns named, why not locate it at
Wheeling? No doubt fair grade of
whisky will be found there, good hotels,
and facilities for reporting its doings to
the world

THE gerrymander CT the Ohio Congress
districts, by which the so-called Demo
Gratis undertake to gobble all but half
dozen districts, will work serious harm
to the Republican cause this year if the
fixed-up Democratic districts are carried
without contest. Republicans of all
such districts should put forward their
most aggressive and popular men, and
contest every inch of ground. In that way
the Republican vote will be brought out
all over the State. If it is not done, there
will be nothing to bring out the vote in
many counties of the State, and the
party will suffer.

THE Republican cause and good gov
eminent, as well, has suffered from
small men and cowards-men who have
little principle, and who think the chief
end of politics is to obtain and hold on
to office. Last year various amend
ments to the Constitution were submit
ted to the people. They had been care
fully considered, and men of both par
ties in the Legislature united in recon-
mending their adoption. One of them
provided for radical change in the
matter of taxation. Railway and other
corporations of the State took the alarm,
and the amendment was beaten; but
prior to the election, when it was thought
the amendments might be adopted and
Foraker beaten for reelection, the Chair
man of the State Committee wrote a let
ter to the Chairman of the committee of
a neighboring county, and it is presumed
to other counties, urging him to do
what he could to defeat the amendment
providing for extending the term of the
office of Governor to three years, so that
Campbell should not have the benefit of
the extension! The State Chairman was
Mr.. Foraker's Commissioner of Rail
roads and Telegraphs. The admitted
nuisance of frequent elections was as
nothing compared to the prospect of
adding a year to Campbell's term.
