An Important Political Event
The death of the king of Holland is for
more than one reason an important DO
htlcal event. The mental malady which
has proved fatal first showed its symp-
toms in an aggrs waited form many months
ago, and it was thought then that the
appointment of a regent would be neces-
sary, but the kings partial recovery
seemed to remove that necessity. His
affiiction was softening of the brain, and
he was usually quiet and almost coma
tose, but at times displayed great mental

rious marital infidelities Queen Emma

Every Man for HimseIr

"Nr. Tilden, in his letter to the Iroauois
club. stated the principle of the Demo-
cratic party in one science: The general
government should do nothing for the
state which the state can do for itself.
and no government should no anything
for the individual which he can do for
himself We ought never to get away
from that doctrine. The Democratic
party believes that the citizen is able to
take care of himself and run his own
finances We propose to let him do it,
and keep as far away from paternalism
as possible.

a list of our agents, or persons who
have consented to receive subscrip-
tions and money due us and forward
the same to this office. Also all
orders for job work entrusted to
their care will receive prompt atten-
ton by us. We will leave samples
and rates with these agents, and
guarantee to give you satisfaction
on all work done. We can do all
kinds of job work and do it as cheap
and as good work as you can get
done anywhere. If you have a
business of any kind, you should
have printed note heads and envel-
opes at least, stating your business,
as it looks more like business, and
will increase your business, and
every letter you send out advertises
your business. We furnish paper
and envelopes Of a superior quality
and do the printing on them for
loss than You can buy the blank
material. Give us n trial and be
convinced. a few years ago, but
few people, ven of the business or
professional men, used printed sta

kind is done very low.
We are determined to work up
the interests Of the ARGUS and the
business of the Office more than has
ever been done before, and as II
whole time is demanded Mt home,
we can hardly ever get out to look
up the luke warn democrats of the
county who are hiding in the bush

support their paper, and the organ
of their party, and allowing it to
languish for the aid and encourage
ment that it has a right to demand
and expect, so to help the good
work along and accommodate our
friends who hardly ever come to
the county capital, we have estab-
lishcd these agencies, and will add
more to the list in other parts of
the county, as we can make ar
rangements. We would like to
have an agent at every postoflicc in
the county. The postmastcrs would
of course be more accessible to our
friends than any one else, but just
now they r all Of the other polit-
zeal persuasion, and of course we
cannot expect much aid from them
except in n few cases, where they
are friends Of ours, and not blinded
by partisan prejudice. All of our
agents are in business of some kind
and have a store or Office. where
they can be readily found at all
times, and we hope they will tackle
every democrat who comes along,
and see whether he is taking the

Hon. John O.. Pendleton. who
represents the First Congressional
District Of West Virginia, made his
maiden speech in Congress last
Thursday in opposition to convict
labor coming in competition with
the honest labor Of the land. He
opposed any bill that would allow
unpaid convict labor to come in
competition with the honest toll Of
the laboring man. Mr.. Pendleton
IS a young man as yet, but is a
natural born orator and will make
his mark in the world. and this
Congress will again hear from him
arguing his case in the contest
matter, and if a partisan majority
give Pendleton's scat to the Rev.
George W. Atkinson, of Sunday
School fame, it will enable Pendle-
ton to get there next time with
flying colors.

they take the view that as the dem

of course decide in Judge Fleming's
