friends of the Harper ; Ferry Sentinel
ought to take fewer censuses and print
more papers.
CONGRESSMAN WILSON made an
able speech against the election bill
in the House on Tuesday. But he
cast his pearls before swine.
THE Republicans in Congress passed
their infamous election bill on We'd
nesday by scant party majority.
Only two Republicans voted against
it,
Sullivan Kilrain fight has final
" been settled and even the courts are
through with it. But Ingalls, is still
fighting the civil war and the rebel
flag.
Mr.. BLAINE does not agree with
the tactics of the would be leaders of
the Republican party, AMI it is said
that the differences between him and
the small fry politicians are becom-
ing very serious.
SEVERAL Republicans have spoken
against the election bill of their party
in the House of Representatives But
if their votes shall be necessary to
pass that bill the party managers
will whip them into line.
THE newspapers are discussing the
small men of Ohio just now, and one
fellow has been discovered who is five
inches less in height than Tom
Thumb. But nobody has yet been
found smaller than Foraker.
A TEXAS man has been expelled
from the q. A. X. because he was
never in battle, never fired shot
during the war, and did not even join
the army. Nevertheless, we'll bet he
can get pension if he tries.
EX-GOVERNOR WILSON is making
a big fight for the Congressional
nomination in the third district.
But great many Democrats out
that way sHy that honest John
Anderson is good enough for them.
THE Farmers Alliance has bought
the Charlestown Democrat, and Mr.. II.
w. Morrow, of Summit Point, has
been installed as its editor. Seems TO
us the Alliance is assuming a pretty
heavy burden when it attempts to
carry the Democrat.

OUR amiable contemporary, the
Wheeling hteUigencer, thinks it must
discover II political mares nest every
week or else it isn't doing its duty to
the party. The LatelEgeRcer would be
very exasperating were it not so SUI
premely ridiculous

ANOTHER West Virginia man has
gotten place. Major y. c. Moore,
of Clarksburg, has been appointed
minister to Siam. He will have a
chance 10 bring back with him a
white elephant when the administra-
ton changes two years hence.

THE Democrats are hoping to carry
PENNSYLVANIA this fall. But as the
Republicans have nominated Quay's
candidates, and will be backed by all
the party methods peculiar to Quay
and his colleagues, we must confess
that the outlook doesn't look bright
for the Democrats.

IT is pretty we'll agreed all around
that so far as accuracy is concerned
the present census is a complete fail
ure. The enumerators have gone
their rounds, and now the cities that
have great local pride are taking
censuses of their own in order TO get
the correct figures.

Hon. b. ID. GIBSON is announced
in another column as candidate for
the Legislature. The REGISTER en-
dorses all that was said of Mr.. Gibson
by correspondent two weeks ago.
He is entirely worthy of the place,
and we are sure will be heartily sup
ported by the people.

Col. ROBERT S. CARR, the we'll
known President of the West Vir-
ginia Senate, is a candidate for re-
election as Senator from the Charles
ton district. He was elected four
years ago as Labor Republican, but
he has come to the conclusion that
