The people who are clamoring for
higher duties on wool in order that
they may realize greater profits from
their WOOL Clip should read s.late report
ia Bradstreet's On the condition Of
the wool market. Bradstreet's saws.
1.-The feature of the wool market Is Its
dullness, having nearly reached stagna-
tion point. The shutting down of so
many mills in New England, together
with the disturbing influences of pro-
posed tariff legislation, has been effect
i've in lowering the amount of sales to
1;?S1,900 p9pHqs QomesIic s4q 5&4, GOO
pounds foreign wool"
The significant fact in this report is
that, just at the tine when the wool du-
ties are about to be increased, there is
great stagnation in the market, mills
are sd ;.11i::s down and sales are conse-
quently restricted and at lower prices.
1hs prospect Qf higher duties which are
certain to come very soon, to exclude
foreign woods from the sacred home
market does NO. ~ sAsult In better prices
for the domestic article.
As matter of fact the price now is
not so high as it was in 1867, when the
high duties were first imposed In 1867,
when the period of high wool duties be-
gan, the price of wool, on gold basis,
was 10 cents pound; in 1888, the price
had fallen to 80 cents, and fine grade
Ohio wool is now quoted in this report
in Bradstreet'S, at SO.
After this high tariff experiment, ex-
tending through twenty-three years,
would 1t not be sensible to try some
other kind of medicine for our sick
wool-growing business?

The Lord High Tariff Malor VIII He len
Out In the Cold at ths Nexf Eiection.
The Sixteenth Congressional district
OF Ohio has a contest on hand this year
which will attract National attention
from its bearing on the tariff 1ght in
the next Congress The district is now
represented by Major Mckinley, the
leader of the high tariff cohorts in Con-
gress.
Against him the Democrats have NOM
mated ex-Lieutenant-Govern John g.
Warwick, of Massillon. As the district
was made strongly Democratic by the
last Legislature it is certain tha. the
Lord High Tariff Maker will be showed
under.
Ex-Governor Hoadly, who was the
head of the ticket in 1883 when War
wick was elected Lieutenant-Gov
is now practicing law in New York City.
In recent Interview he expressed him
self IS follows as to Warwick's pros
pect: Warwick is sure to be elected
Mckinley can not carry the district any
more than he can fly. Since the State
was redistricted last year, the Sixteenth
has been strongly Democratic, and is
the most discouraging district in the
State for Republican. It is composed
Of Holmes, Wayne, Stark and Medina
Counties, and each gave Governor Camp
bell a large majority, except Medina
County, which gave Foraker 936 votes
over Campbell Mckinley was elected
by 1, O99 majority, but the district con-
sisted of Carroll, Colum biana, Mahoning
and Stark Counties, all Republican ex-
cept the last
THE nomination of Lieutenant Gov
ernor Warwick is an excellent move
for the Democratic party in the State.
He Is generous high-minded gentle
man. He came here from Ireland
when boy, with only the clothes he
wore as capital He will be his own
backer.
81 think Mckinley will decline to run
against him. If he does run he will be
defeated and will then run for nomina-
tion for Governor, and will be nominated
unless Foraker defeats him. ~~ Mr..
Warwick will represent the Democratic
party OF Ohio in working for tariff re-
form.
Mckinley is not popular in his own
district In 1882 he was defeated in
Republican district by John II. Wallace,
a Democrat"
The platform on which Mr. Warwick
was nominated declares for tariff reform
in the follow ng strong words: Tariff re-
form is necessary that manufacturers
may be freed from unnecessary taxes on
raw materials, laborers and farmers re-
lieved from taxation on the necessaries
of life, and consumers disburdened of
the incubus of excessive taxes laid only
for the production of surplus which
becomes the spoil of party parasites and
public plunderers.

Visit Of the Grand Chancellor.

Brown Lodge No. 80, Knights of
Pythias, of this place, was visited
last night by @. f. Frost, Grand
Chancellor X. of T. of West Virginia.
1t was not a regular meeting, but as
the Grand Chancellor could only be
here then, arrangements were made
for a special meeting. A committee
appointed by the lodge met Mr..
Frost at the depot and conducted
HIM to the Gordon House. There
was a good attendance of the men,
bers as all were anxious to meet the
q. o. Some regular work was done,
Mr.. III. S. Whetsell was made a full
fledged Knight by the Grand Chan
cellOr. Mr.. Frost addressed the
lodge and spoke in flattering terms
of the progress Of the order in the
State and of his travels in visiting
the different lodges Of the state. He
came from Weston here and left this
morning Tor Little Falls to visit
"Monongalia Lodge" and thence to
Athens Lodge at MorgantOwn.

What n PalIi

1t might be we'll to remind the
Journal that there was time in
Preston county politics when the
Journal was able to terrorize a mem
Der OF its party by its bold threat of
reading the said member out of the
party if he refused to bow the knee
to Baal but that time has passed,
and in the language Of another,
There Is no terror. CassIus, IN your threats"
for the Journal has been ignomin-
iously relegated to the rear. This
was decided during the selection of
delegates to the Congressional con-
vention at Piedmont. The Journal
espOused the cause of Mason and
Elkins, while the Era took MP the
cudgel in behalf OF Golf and Day
ton, and how we'll the Era succeeded
in flooring the journal in that men,
Orable contest is q matter of his
tory.
When We reflect how the Journal
has controlled delegations and
named candidates in Preston coun-
ty for the last eighteen years, it is
truly amazing, and almost beyond
belief, to sec the editor of the Jour-
nal in q delegation Of some sixty
men, and able to control only
tvo out Of the sixty votes on the first
ballet, and on the second ballot be-
ing compelled TO cast his vote &C
cording to the wishes Of the anti
Elkins-Mason contingent. Such is
the lesson Of the Piedmont conyen-
ton.
Hence VIC say il is worse than folly
for the JoUrn0l to attempt TO score
certain Republicans by it's threats
Of vengeance!

To Oar Readers.

We publish this week an account
Of the origin OF the figure head on
the silver dollar. The story is quite
romantic and We have been very
anxious to see silver dollar ever
since reading it, in order to gaze
upon the bright and winsome feat.
ures Of the charming Miss Williams.
We infer from the account that
there is -no'sdiscount on the afore-
said features and that they are all
worth 100 cents on the dollar. We
turned our pockets all wrong side
out in vain search for one of these
pictures we tried the Office force
from the foreman to the devil, but
they had never heard Of such a
thing, having always worked on a
country newspaper, where the sub
scribers paid up (some of them) with
axe-handles, 'carpet-rags, ginseng
and dried apples mot this year,
then we tried several Of our mer-
chants, but as they don't advertise,
we have failed 80 far to feast our
impatient gaze on one of those sill
ver-type "purttys." Now will some
of our more fortunate readers be
kind enough to send us q sample of
this girls picture in order that we
may satisfy the longing that keeps
us from sleep at night and haunts
our waking hours? Don't all of
you wait for some one else, but
make certain OF it by forwarding
one or more yourself. Just write
short letter giving your name and
address so that we can send you
our autograph in return and you
need not take tho trouble to say
"Please find enclosed" for if 1T is
there, we will.find it if we are blind
folded and both hands tied behind
us. III you send moro than one,
rest assured that it will be oxpcnd-
ed on worthy object. 1t will 60

WEDDING BELLS.

Thursday evening, September
18th, 1890, at the residence Of the
brides parents in Kingwood, Miss
Cornelia Smalley, daughter of
Sanford Smalley, was united in
marriage to Mr.. w. T. Wheeler, of
Reedsville. Rev. M. w. Rider per-
formed the ceremony which took
place about eight o'clock, after
which the assembled company par
took Of an elegant repast and "all
went merry as a marriage bell" till
a late hour when the Kingwood
String Band appeared and serenaded
the happy couple. The boys were
invited in and treated to all the del
icacies OF the season. The bridal
couple received many handsome
presents. But few people outside
OF the family of each were invited.
Mr. Ed Wheeler, of Philadelphia,
and Charles Wheeler, of Reedsville,
brothers of the groom and his Sis
ter, Miss Kate of Rcedsville, were
present. On Friday the party
went to Reedsville to visit the
groom's mother, returning that
evening and remaining in King
wood till Monday when they depart
ed for Fairmont where they will
make their future home.

Let Him Answer This Question Him,
self

Mr.. Watson requested his name
placed before the Republican Com.
mittee in 1888, as a candidate for
the Office he now holds. After he
was defeated there by DR.. Cox, he
accepted a nomination from the
boiling faction led by Mr.. Dawson,
and denied chat he had sought the
nomination from the committee. A
member OF that committee made
affidavit that Mr.. Watson did re-
quest his name placed before the
committee. This affidavit has never
been denied, and sciN not noc be de-
MED by Mr., Watson. Ii he can or
will deny 1t, these columns are open
to him for that purpose. Let us be
fair.-Garner's Cleaner.

From Careers Cleaner.

From Careers Cleaner.
Among the farmers, Lewis p.
White is rapidly gaining ground in
his race for the Circuit court clerk
ship. The machine politicians are
still solid for Watson.
We are informed that Mr.. Watson
has neglected and refused to pay j.
NJ. Crane for his assistance in the
Office as deputy clerk, without which
he never could have gathered up the
multitudinous threads of the bust
ness, and that Mr.. Crane has brought
suit against him to recover $500 for
services rendered. OF this latter
fact there is no doubt. If things
go on at this rate, John w. Watson
will add new laurels to the crown
he already wears as the result of
his former business transactions.
Lewis p. White, who is making
the race against John W. Watson
for clerk Of the Circuit court, is the
same man who made the same race
in 1888. This shows he is a plucky
individual, and not easily discour-
aged. He is eminently qualified for
the position-even his political foes
admit that-and he deserves to sue
coed. The Cleaner hopes to re-
cord his election in November, not
on account Of his politics, for this
paper has no politics, but on account
OF his personal fitness for the place,
and what we believe to be the con-
spicuous unfitness Of Mr.. Watson.
Will John w. Watson tell us, in
a quiet and friendly way. or other
wise, whether, on the eve of his fail
ure in business at Terra Alta, he
ordered several hundred dollars
worth OF goods and had them
snlppeu 10 Terra Alta, where he
disposed of them, while the bills
were sent to l.. +. Miller & Co., at
lazelton, this county? Will he,
further, elucidate the proposition
that a member of that firm mounted
his horse and rode to Terra Alta,
where, by pointed and positive
threats, he induced Mr.. Watson to
assume the payment of those bills
If these things can be truthfully de.
MED, Mr.. Watson owes it to himself
and to all honest men who are sup
porting him, to deny them-and
these columns are open. for tho
denial, free, gratis, for nothing.
Let us be fair.

Two Girls Tarred and Feathcrcd.

1t isn't often that we read of
pretty girls having been tarrod and
feathered, but that's what recently
occurred to two dizzy damsels who
reside in Shafton, Pa. and who
recently repaired to the neighbor-
ing town Of Manor to have some
fun. They got on q glorious,
bowling, payday load Of razzle daz-
zle and then proceeded to aston
ish the natives with their lofty
kicking and otherwise hilarious
conduct. Manor is one of the So
berest, easiest going, quietest places
this side Of anywhere and while the
bald headed brigade blushed and
went one eye on the circus, the
church mem bers looked through
knot holes in the fence until the
seance was nearly over, and then
determined upon heroic measures
to rid the town Of the two kittenish
nuisances. Then the girls were
told TO absquatalate, ybnt they were
not built that way. An indigna-
ton meeting was held, and it was
resolved" to resort to extreme
measures. After relieving the girls
OF the greater portion OF their cloth
ing, the committee applied coat
OF tar and feathers. They then
marched the girls out Of town.
The friends Of the girls are deter
mined to punish the perpetrators.
The affair is creating great excite
ment in town, and n loud, reverber-
ating riot is said to be on the tapis.

We are at loss to know what the
Journal is growing about. 1t pre-
tends to say it is Growing over the
election in Maine, and tells the AR
Gus it feels first-rate, and wants to
know if the ARGUS has heard from
Maine. Well, now, come to think
about it, the ARGUS has heard from
Maine, and it is really pleased with
the result in Maine. If the Journal
can find anything consoling in the
Maine election it is perfectly well
come to it. Will the Journal please
tell us what the Republican party
has gained by the election In Maine?
Did thoy gain a Congressman? No!
Did they gain member of the
State Senate? mol Did they gain
a member of the Legislature No
The Democrats gained two mem
bers of the State Senate and Mir-
teen members in the Legislature.

confined to the fact that they elect

There is no rubbing it out that

speaks of him as "farmer" Harmon.
Yes, farming in the interest of mo-
