Some Of the Republicans of the County
met at the Court House on Friday after
noon and nominated candidates for County
Offices. The meeting was called to order by
S. V. Yautis Sr., Chairman of the County
Executive Committee He stated the OBJ
iect of the meeting and asked for the nomi-
nation of Permanent Chairman. Mr.. A..
Burton was chosen and reluctantly consent
ed. and William Braxton, colOred, appoint
ed Secretary. The motion to proceed to
nominations was agreed to and the follow
ing ticket was the result; For the House of
Delegates d. Staley aud W. E. An
derson; Clerk Of Circuit Court-G. b. La
Boyteaux; Clerk of Circuit COurt-W a.
Chapline; County Commissioners-Owen
Vanvacter and J. Calvin Tabler. DR.. Hart
grove was elected Chm'n Of the County Ex-
ecutive Committee, and he was empowered
to appoint Committee TO serve two years.
Harrison Halter, colorel, was elected Sec
rotary. Some feeling was evoked by the
proposition to change Chairman of Execu-
tive Committee and speeches were INDUCED
that smacked of elimination and recrimina-
ton. In remarks made by Col. Black,
Worlds Fair Commissioner J. d. Butt, and
Rev. Mr.. Burrell, colored, they emphatical-
" disapproyed of the Force Bill passed by
the House. Mr. Burrell especially con-
demned it as an unwise measure, in his
Judgment one that would be harmful to his
race and he took occasion to testify to the
peaceful relations existing between the
whites and blacks in the South-a condi-
ton that surely would be disturbed, in his
opinion, by the Force Bill becoming law.
Mr.. Yantis approved the Force Bill and
Mr.. Koonce saw no wrong in it. In the
position assumed by the latter two we had
an illustration of the lion and the lamb
lying down together" 1t isn't for us to say
which was the lamb Col. Black touched
on the tariff, but rather damned it with
faint praise"
The nominations were made without eX-
pectation that they would amount TO any
thing more than a maintenance of organi-
cation. The ticket is not one to enthuze
the party. The old story Of the butter on
fifth-rate restaurant table illustrates it; it
is good enough-what there is of it; and |
plenty of it-such as it is. To those who |
like it, it is the very thing they like.
1t is a matter of observation and remark,
that in the composition of the ticket the ,
Colored man is left out in the cold, as usual; |
but we understand that the nominee of a |
to be held at Kearneysville on |
will be Black.

ceives. So it is clear that the
tax of rs cents on the bituminous coal
goes into the pocket of the coal baron.
The ore is protected, but the muscle
that digs it is not. There isn't protec-
ZIONIST in all the world who can show
that 81 of the SIT tax ON steel rails goes
to the workmen who manufacture the
rails. They get exactly the same wages
they would get if there were no tariff,
and every penny Of the SIT goes to the
owner of the rails. And it is so with
every other article that is manufactured.
The workingmen are not sharers in the
tariff benefit. and why they can be de-
luded into the belief that they are is one
OF the mysteries of human lite. The
products of labor are protected, but it
must be remembered that the products
employs the laborer, and in no in
stance does he increase the laborer's
wages because his own property is pro-
tected. There is free trade in labor.
No prohibition against competition
there. Foreign labor is on the free list,
and the rate of wages is fixed here just
as it is in England by the amount of de-
mand for work, the number of laborers
ready to respond to that demands and the
capacity of the laborer to do the work
required by the employer. Every work
ingman knows that to be fact. Why,
then,should the workingman suffer HIM
self to be deluded into the belief that
his interests require him to uphold a
protective tariff?

DANGEROUS BLUSDERs

The indications now are that the en-
terprising gentlemen who are trying to
introduce the new industry in North
Dakota blundered in letting the matter
come to light too soon. The programme,
no doubt. was to have it burst into the
legislature like light out of Egyptian
darkness. and rush 1t through before
the people really understood the mat
ter. The house seems disposed to fall
short of the two-thirds of the sixty-three
members necessary to pass it over the
veto of the governor. The only safety
In such matter is to have the full num-
Der put in black ink, with the bridges
burned behind them. Otherwise the
timid are likely to weaken in the face
of public sentiment. Too much time
has been afforded for the country to be
heard from. 1t is possible that after
the constitution had been fixed last
summer blunder was made in the cam
didate for governor. 1t is apt to be
hard work to get over the veto of gov
ernor, even when the dividends promise
to be large. 1t will not be the first
scheme in that region that has miscar-
ried

Good for His Times.

Whether the world is really very
much better in the essentials of the in
dividual life for promoting the largest
amount of social eomplaeency, it is GER
tain that the age thinks it has got upon
higher moral and esthetic ground. Some
one has recently gotten hold of and pub
lished the accounts kept by Washington
for several years before the revolution
airy war. They show his daily expendi-
lures for personal and business matters.
Aside from the scrupulous eXactness in
money matters and undertaking integ-
rity. they show that he spent q good
part of the time playing cards. His
books show every day just how much he
was ahead or behind in the games. The
expenses for liquors were as constant,
and occasionally he would provide for a
big spree for those in his employment.
Then he had large interests in lotteries
and sold tickets. He was a patron of
horse races, entered and bet on animals.
He would have hard work to get into
any modern church or reform society,
but he was counted all right in that
age. He was good father of his coun-
try for that early time.

THE MORAL PARTY.

1t is always painful to be obliged to
lower standards that have been confid-
ingly looked up to with pride aud that
one would hopefully initiate. The ex-
perience of life presents many such de-
pressing incidents. They are familiar to
all panied observers. Then in the larger
field there is the Republican party. 1t
has been accredited the relation to the
zenith of moral attainment that the
Sunday school sustains to the church.
The confessions of its Oracles and lights
have given it this assignment. Its
platforms have limited at the claim with
some modest reserve in popular elucida-
tion.. One of its special efforts has been
to corral all the moral ideas and re-
forms. Viewing it in this conglom-
crate light, it is peculiarly sad
to see its grip on these ethi-
cal substances slipping so numerously
as to mar the entire picture.
An examination going on at Washing
ton shows the most recent candidate for
governor in one Of the staunch Repub.
llcan states trying to escape defeat by
means Of forged papers, known to be
such, with a good deal of conniving
among the leaders of the moral party.
In West Virginia legislative commit
tee has found that the high movers in
the party sought success by debauching
the ballot with imported negroes. The
party has in a half a dozen states
enacted prohibition and claimed to
be the guardian angel of the COM
munities, but it has not aimed to
break with the liquor interest. But
few weeks ago the governor of
New Hampshire issued proclamation
after the Republican party had given
that state prohibitory law for
thirty years, suggesting that there
ought to be some effort to en-
force it. The local papers say that none
will be made. Then. out here in the
Dakotas. the party was to teach the
country new lessons in prohibition and
reform. A law is framed in South Da-
keta that had no bunghole in it; but, at
the behest Of potent influences, room
was left for sideboards in every house.
and even serving wine in the church.
The record of that state will be like the
others. In the North state prohibit
DRY law is enacted, and the same legis-
lature votes to supplement it with an
attempt to import the most odious gam
bling institution in the country. The
picture might be expanded Indefinitely,
but it is too painful subject to follow.
1t is to be feared that the party has
pampered Oh prosperity too long. The
microbes and bacilli of moral disease
are injecting it. Sad but true.

As a Reforner

The niekel-in-the-slot business is not
quite as lively as it has been, but there
is no conceivable limit to its possibili-
ties. AS moral and religious reformer
there is a vast field before it. A suggest
i've incident is that in Illinois. A man
who employed large number of men
was profuse Swearer, and his men
nearly all followed his example. One
day some unperceived ladies were
shocked at the profane delivery of some
of the subordinates. He promised to
institute reform, and called up the
men, telling them that he proposed to
do the swearing for the entire hundred
or so. His ability was admitted. but it
was suggested, as matter of fairness.
that he should join the anti-swearing
society. The final agreement was that
a niekel-in-the-slet machine was to be
had. aud nickel dropped in for every
oath, and the proceeds to be turned
over to local missionary cause every
Sunday. That machine is doing more
than any pulpit to check profanity. as
the slot often shows but dozen or two
nickels in the week.

THE WAY TO THRIFT.

1t is pleasant to see ladies in nigh
places set examples in economy and the
simple ways that make lowly life CON-
Portable. Queen VICTORIA keeps hens
and raises her OWN eggs and poultry.
Mrs. HARRISON, while out at Deer Park
last summer, looked up butter maker
and made close bargain with him to
furnish the White house a tub each
week at much lower rates than were
paid the dealers who supplied the
CLEVELAND administration. This tub
from the Maryland farm. however,
proved to be in excess Of the needs of
the HARRISON people, and the good
housewife, in pursuance Of the domestic
habit in Indiana, found customers
among the ladies Of the cabinet for
certain amount per week. The nara
tive draws charming picture of the

ing it by an Official messenger to the
cabinet customers, cleyerly exacting
profit of five cents pound that goes

moderate profit to be made from that
class of customers. and it shows that
traffic may be directed by fair and equi-
table principles.

SECRET SESSIONS.

The absurdity of the practice of nomi-
naily secret sessions of the United
States senate had very palpable illus
tration in the recent discussion of the
Samoan treaty. The vigilant officers of
that body searched every recess, to be
sure that no unwarranted ears were in
hearing. If there is any object in this
attempt at secrecy, it is to keep the
public from kno wing what the senators
say and do; yet that session had barely
adjourned when the proceedings were
known, and the telegraph sent out
hardly less detailed reports than were
sent Of the public sessions. 1t was
known just what every member said
and how he voted. In this case there
was much controversy over the signifi-
canoe of some of the provisions, and it
was important that the Interpretation
given in the senate should be known by
other powers interested. The cret

MONDAY CHATTER.

A voice is raised on one of the high
moral watch towers that has for years
been looking down upon the evils tina
prohibition would eyiscerate as the CON-
pendulum of human woes, crying like the
reformer in the moral wilderness, that
other satanic emissarieS are competing
successfully. These are designated as
progressive euchre and other gambling
and Christian science. The enunciation
is that these are doing far more to injure
religion. weaken the law and cast
shadows into the home t'than all the
ministers that preach against Sunday
newspapers are doing to build up and
strengthen the Masters cause" This
Is from an authority that claims an atti-
tude quite equal TO that of the pulpit.
The indictment further declares that the
pulpit is mute in the presence of these
roaming and devastating forces, because
church members are participants.
Sunday school superintendent and
prosecuting attorneys are alleged
to gamble with impunity at the progress
siVe euchre table, and pious ladies even
smile and take hands. Where is the
sacred desk that turns its spiritual artil-
lery upon Christian science? In this
region no record is at hand to meet the
inquiry. Possibly the mind has been
so engrossed in deprecating the Sunday
paper and revising creeds that it had
not been realized that Christian science
was much more than a lucrative vagary
for its priests and adopts, and plain
poker had nearly supplanted the de-
moralizing and ruinous euchre. An
impartial and reflective observer may
conclude that it is quite as natural as in
the days of the noted poet, for people to
see the moral hideousness of things that
they have no taste for, and have the
most generous liberation for their pet
vices. 1t makes things good deal more
interesting for people to iostle each
other in the moral highways.

DoNT'S FOR GIRLS.
Ladies' Home Journal.

Ladies Home journal.
Don't encourage young men to call
upon you who frequent liquor saloons.
billiard parlors or pool rooms. Don't
notice men who stare at you on the
streets, even if it is well-bred stare.
Doubtless they think themselves ire
sistible and you very much impressed
with their appearance.
Don't stand at street corners talking
to young men, though they are acQuaint-
anceS.
Don't accept promiScuous invitations.
1t only cheapens you, and may draw you
into circle of acquaintance you will
regret having formed.
Don't sanction wine drinking when
out to parties or weddings. Your sim
pie act of declining the proffered glass
may act as check upon your compan-
ion. Tacit disapproval sometimes does
more good than the most eloquent tenn
perance lecture.
Don't marry drinking man. If the
sweetheart will not give up the danger
GUS habit, it is very certain the husband
will not.
Don't allow men to be familiar with
you, to use slang or doubtful express
SionS in your presence.
Don't make appointments with men,
either at a friends home, in the park,
or at any place but your fathers house.
Don't rebel if the visits of a certain
gentleman are .disagreeable to your
mother, and she says SO. She knows
best, and can see faults and deficiencies
that your youth and ineXperience would
never discover.
Don't attempt to copy the manners and
dress of your brothers. Nothing so I'M
sexes woman as masculine ways.
Don't use loud tones IN talking, nor
call men by their last names without the
usual prefix. Men may treat you as a
good comrade, but they very rarely
marry such girls.
Don't be ashamed to help mother with
the Homework. A practical knowledge
of bread-making, cooking. and the gen.
erai management of house is worth
more than a smattering of music or
painting. To know how to ''set'' the
sponge for brea is an accomplishment
that no girl need despise, and the
kneading of it is grand exercise.
Don't set your mind too much ON
dress. While it is your duty to look
your very best with the means at your
command, it is wrong to give so much
time and thought to the adornment of
your person. while your mind is starry
ing for want of proper food. You need
not be- blue-sto2king, but a good
healthy course for reading and thinking
is splendid gymnastics for your mental
powers.
Don't come down to breakfast in
soiled wrapper, slovenly shoes, ''bang"
done uD in curl papers, and back hair
in cracker knot on the top of your
head. You will never see any one bet
ter to dress for than those in the home
circle. They are the ones to be cheered
by your sweet, wholesome appearance,
and not strangers.
In word, girls, try to be true women,
and by so doing you will gain an infiu-
ellce which. like a sweet perfume, will
shed its fragrance upon all with whom
you may be brought in contact.
