West Virginia Corruption.

The contest over the Governorship
of West Virginia is disgraceful but not
surprising. A band of rich Republicans,
who have bad large interest in the
unfortunate State for many years, have
been trying to buy i 8 voters, to colon
ize it with negroes and 10 turn it over
to the Republicans by corrupt methods
To add to the misfortunes of the
people some of the most prominent
Dem ocrats of the State have had a
personal interest in overlooking these
political crimes.
At the last State election it seemed
as though crime had succeeded in elect
ing a Republican Governor, but fort
unately the Democrats have been able
to discover the corrupt methods by
which this result was brought about,
80 that there is now no doubt that
Judge Fleming, the Democratic can
dldate, will be seated. Even some
Republican members of the Legislature
are expected to vote for him.
1t has been clearly demonstrated that
the Republican party of West Virgins
which is under the control of Stepher
B. Elkins, colouizsd two counties with
Virginia negroes. A plurality of only
1877 is claimed for Mr.. Goff, but thu
Democrats show that 150 employees o
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
natives of Virginia, went through thu
State in shanty cars and voted in a
least two precincts. ,........,.
The proof of corruption is so over
whelming that Col. John A, Hutchin
son, Mr.. COTS leading counsel, hs'
thrown up his brief. We know of onl,
one eminent awyer who is deep enoug
in the mire to pick it up, and that j.
Senator Edmunds, who already holds
brief from w. ii. III, Miller in behal
of Dudley aud the rest of the Reprbli
can party.- World

Letter From Cleveland.

A letter from ex-PresideDt Cleveland
was read Friday last at the concluding
session OF the Custom Cutters, national
convention at Chicago. The full text
was as follows:
g. ii. Hunton, Esq, President-De
Sir: thank you for sending me your
address made at the convention Of the
Custom Foreman Tailor's association
and have read the same with interest.
The question of tariff directly affects
all the people of the land in substan-
tial way, and they ought to be interes-
ted in its discussion. | am afraid that
a great many of our fellow citizens are
too apt 10 regard this as q political
question, intricate and complex, affect
ing them in remote way, and one
which may well enough be left for
politicians to wrdn2le over. This in
duces a neglect of the subject on the
part of q great nimber of our people
and willingness 10 blindly follow the
party to which they happen to belong
in their action upon II. II is a good
sign to see practical men, such as be-
long to your association, discussing the
question for themselves If this is
done inteligently and with sincere in
terest to secure the truth, tariff refor-
mers, think, have no need to fear the
sesult of such discussion. Very truly
yours, GROVER CLEVELAND.
This letter was written in reply to
the one by Nc. Hunton, president of
the cutters association, asking for some
statement on the tariff question, as it
affected the tailors. An exactly similar
letter was sent to President Harrison,
but as yet, no reply has been received.
After the letter had been read the con-
extended its thanks to Mr..
Cleveland.

Pineapple for Diphtheria.

Recently paper printed the import
ant announcement that the juice of the
pineapple Is a cure for diphtheria, aud
asserted further that the fact is moth
ing new; the Creoles of the south have
long known of the value of pineapple
juice in the treatment of dread diseas-
es.
One man says he administered the
juice to his seven year old boy, who
was in great distress for breath, and
four hours thereafter the patient began
to cough up the diphtheric membrane.
Another says he used the juice in the
case of his six year old daughter, who
was dangerously ill with diphtheria.
He says he induced the little sufferer
to take the juice through a medicine
tube, and withinltwo or three hours she
began coughing up small bits of the
membrane.
As the diphtheritic membrane which
grows in the air passages is of foun-
gold character, physicians have all
along recogoized the fact that if some
acid could be applied that if some acid
could be applied that would dlsinte-
CRATE the membrane without attacking
the mucous surfaces the disease could
be readily controlled. 1t would be
g, g,atifying. but net surprising. if the
simple JUICE of the pineapple should
become established as specific for the
cure of diphtheria 1t would simply be
confirmation of the theory that nature
has cure for every ILL., In the applica-
tion of pineapple juice for diphtheria,
parents should, of course, consult the
family physician. No progressive
doctor will slight new discoveries in
any field medicine, and experiment
with the alleged cure should be supple
mented to regular course of treatment
prescribed by the lessons of medical
experience.

We have been asked why the au-
thors of the Constitution incorporated
in it the electoral college methods of
choosing President. The gentlemen
who prepared the Constitution had for
the most part no very great confidence
in the intelligence and character of the
masses of the people, and. with some
exceptions they did not feel like trust
ing the people directly with the power
of selecting the president They evil
IDENTIFY had no idea that the popular
will would make the electoral college
device mere form, as it did very
early in our history. Their idea was
that body of eminent men, selected
for the purpose, would make a more
judicious and careful selection of Presi-
dent than Congress or, a popular con-
vention would. 1t was intended that
the electoral college should not merely
register the will OF the people, but
should assemble uninstructed and
make its own free and Independent
choice of President and Vice Presi-
dent. Another reason for providing
an electoral college was that the
fathers of the Republic knew nothing
about national conventions, and of
course saw the impossibility of mass
conventions of the people of whole
States, and saw In the electoral college
a representative body small enough 10
meet in State groups, and delibera' e
and discuss the important matters in
the choice of a Chief Magistrate.
The choice of President by electors,
like the choice of Senator'S by Legis
latures, was intended to serve as a
check upon popular impulses, aud the
rights of the small States were protect
ed in some measure from the great
majorities of votes cast in the large
States by the provision of one elector
for each Senator as we'll as one fol
each Representative.

This is considered folly, but it is an
astounding fact that Speers Wines
raised at Passaic, N. j., have acquired
such reputation for purity aud excel

reputation at home and is used by the

why the impersnrbable clerk in the
