THIS is FARMERS YEAR.

The farmer, who bears the burdens of taxation
without receiving propOrtonate share of the benefits
of government, has long been accustomed to entrust
legislation to the professional classes much to his de-
triment aud of the class to which he belongs To this
cause can he trace many of the hardships and mis-.
fortunes which have fallen upon him during the past
twenty years He has at last awakened to the impor
lance of self protection and from every part of the
country comes the welcome news that the men who
till the soil are becoming aroused and joining hands
TO secure fair representation in state and egis
lation. This is farmers year and the theorizer and
harsplltter IN being reegated to the to make
room for the practical man of business and the
who creates the wealth Of the country. The Republi-
cans of this district acted with a great wisdom
in nominating man who is practical farmer and
upon whom the farmers of the district can unite with
out regard to past party utilization. This is farmers
year, and every farmer is personally interested in
making it a redletter one by sending to Congress
every farmer nominated regardless of party This is
farmers year, and the farmers of this district will vote
for farmer George Harmon.

A PERTINENT QUESTION.

Have candidates for Office who do
not support their county paper any
right to expect their county paper to
support them If they do not think
it worth the paltry sum of its annual
subscription price is it not prima facie
evidence that they do not think its in
fluence worth having? We would
like to have the opinion Of our
brother editors of both parties
Keyser Echo.
Experience is worth more than
opinion, and opinion is but experience
in this instance. We have found our
best friends asked the least, while our
worst opponents and critics were those
who never took the paper or never
paid for it. A political paper is ex.
pected to draw all the fire of the enc
my. Stand all the abuse of rivals, de-
fend the party and its candidates at
the expense of friends and patrons,
and ask no pay. The worst enemies
of party or paper are those who
studiously labor to keep themselves
in good grace and standing with the
powers that be against them, expect
ing as matter of course to count on
their own friends for support. THE
HERALD has always stood squarely
by the Republican party, and the
party by it.

ORGANIZE.

we cannot impress upon our party friends too often
or too earnestly the Importance of thorugb organiza
ton Republicans are accustomed to read and think,
hence every man is supposed to know his duty and to
be alert in performing it, but there many persons
absorbed in business who do not realize the necessity
OF active party cooperation and there are many who
confde too much in the strength ofther party There
is also another large class who regard it unmportant
as to whether or not their votes cast in off year.
This is an offyear it is true, but it is very impor
tant one, in as much as Republican victory in West
Virginia this year assures our party triumph in the
State at the next presidential election. The interests
OF our people are all bound up in the Republican party
and that tact alone is to establish the party per.
manently in power in the State; but the great duty
Tor the present is to insure sweeping victory in No
vember This can be done if earnest, active work is
done from now until day of election Let clubs be or
ganized in every village and hamlet and every where
be located so that the full party strength may be known
and kept in hand for election day.

QUEER PRINCIPLES FOR AN ALI
ANcE MAN.

Mr.. E. L. Parker, member of the
State Executive Committee Of the
Farmers Alliance, takes the Farmers
Advocate to task for coming out as a
full-fiedged bourbon paper. He says
the Alliance has never declared in
favor of free trade or Democracy, and
the paper has abused its privileges
and trampled on its principles in ad-
vocating Wilson aud Lucas.
How can you, Brother Morrow, as
an advocate of absolute free trade.
support William L. Wilson for Con-
gress when you know he voted to put
a tariff on coal? lit was right to
protect our coal, and Mr.. Wilson by
his vote said it was, is it not also right
to protect our timber, our wool, our
farm products? Pray, tell US poor ig-
norant farmers, miners and working
men of the Second district, what Mr..
Wilson has done for US during the
six years he has been in Congress
You state in your issue of the 18th
that if the Democratic party nomina-
ted Lucas TO be slaughtered at the
polls there would bea monkey and
parrot time hereafter" Brother
Morrow, you certainly would not ask
the Alliance to support man whom
we believe, judging from the past,
should he not be elected, would turn
around and kick us to death in our
infancy, before we get out of our
cradle as an organization.

THE MUD MACHINES ARE cumming

The mud-machine journalism of Dem
cratic politics is running this week on
full time and capacity. Mr.. Hartman and
the Republican ticket come in for a share
of indecency's pitch, but it sticks best on
those who handle it. If blackguardism,
lies and detraction make votes, well and
good, but we believe they will have a con-
trary effect on the intelligent voter. The
Berkeley County Republican ticket and
the Convention that nominated it are
painted in colors so odious and offensive
that it is mere reflection of the silver
lining to the intellectual cloud from
which shines the political rainbow of
treachery and falsehood. Strangely there
is enough mud for all, except the few
professionals of a feather, on whom the
tarry pitch is laid with tat1ied brush.
If we believed our readers would appre-
ciate such stuff, we might retaliate by
showing how the Democrats worked on
their men until late in the day how it
is generally supposed that Faulkners
choice is to be carried through by the
strength of the Doodle furnishing power,
how many predict that the bosses will
cut Mr.. Weaver for one of their own
social and professional stripe, and how
discord reigns in many quarters. But
such TRADES of abuse have no influence
with the intelligent public.
To show their petty spite and their
blind worship of their political idol and
editorial dictator, they attack Mr.. Kittle
for making a speech for his party and its
principles. The reason of this abuse is
simply because Mr., Kittle showed how
loud-mouthed Mr.. Faulkner was for
placing binder Irvine on the free list, yet
when it comes to voting he is off making
speeches against the American farmers
interests and in favor of British free
trade. Why don The advocate free sugar,
free coal, &c. and be something or moth
ing. To talk about Mr.. Kittle's way of
speaking and his language, is no argu-
ment. He is square out from the should
er and don't go round putting on lift
ting airs or studying how to smooth over
false political idols that live off of the
vitals of the people. He has more man
hood and brains than any of these little
editorial imps who resemble in prnci-
pie and practice Sandwich Island can
nibal, for they circulate falsehoods about
others until they are cornered and then
crawl into the retreat of puerile silence,
feigning to be as white as an angel of
love and mercy. And when you point
your pen at them they squirm as if
sword had pierced their transparency.

cars on West Martin Street Crossing.
His horses started to run and he held
on until carried down the track by
the train, he was thrown off against
the rocks and had his neck broken.
The engine struck the horses, cutting
one nearly in half, killing both, and
breaking the wagon all to pieces.
Everything was done so quick that
there was no time for thought or action.
The young man was aged about 10
years, unmarried, and a steady, in.
dustrious man. He was prepared for
interment, after coroner's jury held
an inquest. The following verdict
was rendered That the deceased
