Jesse James, Manhood

"Jesse James, the Missouri bandit,
possessed many manly qualities" feel
ingly exclaimed Uncle Dick Henderson
at the Brunswick hotel 81 knew him
well. He was turned into a Nemesis
after the Pinkertons threw that bomb
through the window of the Samuels resi-
dence and blew off the arm Of Jesse's
mother. Ever after that occurrence
both Frank and Jesse declared war to
the knife on the Pinkerton men. The
killing of Jesse James by Bob Ford was
the cowardly act Of treacherous, un-
grateful fiend. Bob wasn't eating reg
ular' when Jesse took him to his home,
gave him shelter and food and treated
him well. One day, when Jesse was
busting off a picture and had his back
turned, Bob shot him from behind. Of
course you know that but very few peo-
pie ever learned what picture Jesse was
dusting off when he got his death wound.
1t was the large picture of his dear old,
white haired mother, whom he loved
dearly
''In one robbery at Blue Cut, when
the James gang went through train,
Jesse led the way and relieved the pas
sengers of their valuables. He came to
one woman in black, who was sobbing
bitterly. Jesse stopped and inquired the
cause Of her sorrow. AS she handed
him $40 in greenbacks she cried out con-
vulsively: It's all have in the world.
My husbands corpse is in the baggage
car Tears came to the eye of the train
robber. Going into his pocket he re-
turned the $40 and added two crisp 500
bills to it, which he forced the widow to
accept. He never would rob cripple,
or an old gray haired woman, either.
He once took an overcoat off his own
back in the streets OF Liberty, Mo-, and
gave it to a poor, shivering old man that
had been turned out into the cold by an
ungrateful son-in-law. 1 could name
many other instances. Denver Repub-

The project to run Steve Elkins
against W. L. Wilson, in the Second
West Virginia district. is PROPOSE
ton to run Doodle against brains.-
Elkins is smart, wire pulling poll
tfcian, with plenty of money and no
scruples. Naturally enough he has
more influence with President Harri-
son than any other man, except Mat
thew Stanley Quay. Mr.. Wilson is a
gentleman, scholar, an orator, a
statesman. His wit is as keen as his
logic is strong. He is one of the
foremost men inpublic life. He makes
West Virginia eminent in Congress.
BE represents the best type of our
public men. Mr.. Elkins represents
in politics nothing but patronage and
the use of money. 1t would be a
burning shame to the Second West
Virginia district to make such an ex-
change.-Notionaz Democrat.

The Morrill, bill which has passed
the House of Representatives, pro-
vides that every man who served
ninety days after enlistment during
the war, and is sixty years of age,
shall receive pension of SO month.
This is practically a service pension
bill. Forty millions of dollars, it is
estimated by the protector of the
measure, will be necessary to carry
out its provisions. Mr.. Carlisle esti-
mates that it will necessitate an ex-
penditure of $50, 900, 900.

Editor Spirit Relative to note
on gas works and electric lights APP
pearing in one of your contempo-
raries, permit me to say few words
The Introduction of municipal con-
troll of all natural and artificial mo-
nopolies is live subject and one OF
prime Importance, and while the
Charlestown Improvement Company
is still in state of incipiency, the
time is peculiarly ripe for the careful
aud unbiased consideration of this
phase of pure socialism. The people
and the corporation, understand, pay
$500 per GOO feet for gas-a very
high price. This is in state of del
egated action. In the other extreme,
that of direct action or municipal
control, there are hundreds of places
in the North and West, not larger
than this, paying but rs cts. per 1 600
feet. The idea of Professor r. T.
Ely, of the Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity. to whose lectures it has been
my privilege to listen for three years
past, are very applicable here. They
are: Let the corporation assume a
slight debt, buy up the gas works,
employ its own servants and furnish
gas to the people at a normal cost,
thus saving to itself all the profits
hitherto reaped by few private in
dividuaIs, to the discomfortnre of the
people as mass. a step has been
taken in the right direction by the
Incorporation of the improvement
company which, as every one is
aware, is intended to bring to the no
tice of capitalists and the outside
world generally, the manifold natu-
raj advantages Of Charlestown, its
superb agricultural tracts, its iron
ores, its coke fields, its opportunities
for the inexpensive establishment of
paying industries, and above all the
unparalleled advantages Charlestown
possesses over its neighbors as a
home, socially and morally-a place
to educate its youth of both sexes
and develop them into perfect state
of physical and mental eScelIency.-
1 trust you will pardon this card as
coming from stranger, but remem-
Der it was actuated by sincere de-
sire for the good fortune of your
beautiful city. SOCIALIST.
The writer of the above is mistaken
as to the price of gas in Charlestown,
having it way above what it really is,
and as to the profit in its production
here, we do not believe the dividends
have been very large (?) yet, or that
it would take avery big premium Of
fer to secure some of its stock.
