A SENSATION.

Winfield experienced a genuine
sensation last Friday night. On
That evening woman with two
children arrived at this place on the
Str. Dale. She was of rather stout
build, with black eyes, dark hair,
fair skin and dressed In blnck and
heavily yelled. After the shades of
night had fairly settled down over
our town, she was seen by several
of our citizens to proceed up street
and deposit the youngest child on
the front porch to the house opcupi-
ed by Will Scott and wife. oolored.
on Ferry street. The helpless in.
FAINT was soon cared for and search
instituted for its heartless mother.
She had crossed the river and was
found in the h6tel ut Red House.
She is grass widow of jackson

knowledged herself to be the mother

We Endorse the BIN.

Below is a draft of bill which the
West Virginia Editorial Association
proposes to have introduced at the
next session of the legislature. 1t
is to be hoped that it will pass with
out dissenting vote. We can see
no reasonable objection that can be
offered against it and it seems to us
that its passage is mere matter OF
justice.
Be it enacted by tie Legislature OF
JHest Firginia:

tho statutes of West Virginia re-
quire notice for any purpose to be
given by ADVERTISEMENT" or "public
notice" the same shall be construed.
and is hereby declared to mean TO

opposite politics in the county will
ling TO publish the same at the rates
fixed by law for advertising. Pro
vided further, however, that ifthere
be only one newspaper in q county

be sufficient.

The Financial si,natton.

The financial situation in this
country at tho present time is not
rosetinted. On the contrary, Ia the
minds of many we'll informed per-
soma. what is already a grave state of
affairs is quite likely to become
alarming, and a great panic is not
among the improbabilities. The
experience of the past few months
seems to show that the near future
may we'll Justify apprehensions of a
serious charaotOP. There has scar
ceiy been q day in which some
heavy failure has not been announc-
ed. Come of the firms that have
stood the storms of fifty years have
been unable to weather the gale
even in this its early stages. AS a
single example of the present state
OF affairs, it may be mentioned that
last week there were 347 failures In
the United States as against $50 for
the corresponding week of the pre-
ceeding year.
There are various opinions as to
the causes ofthe difficulty. 1t seems
to be conceded that the lack of con
tidence that business men feel in
each other-and, we believe, also in
the governments one cause. An.
other is that the volume ofcurrency
is not sufficient for the transaction
of the business of the country. AS
to the first cause, it seems plausible
enough that men should d;strqsi
each other when the house that
stands among the first to day has
its doors closed tomorrow. Meth.
er can we be surprised at the lack o.
confidence in the government.
The financial policy of the ad
ministration has not been such a.
to command implicit faith. Indeed
no one can tell just what sort offs

Farmer Sense.

New oTk w Grid.
The farmers of the Michigan
Grange are men who see clearly
and think straight.
They oppose themselves unhesi-
tatingly to the visionary proposition
that the Government shall initiate
the currency by issuing 81 ,O0O,OO
900 of legal tender notes and lend
the money to the people ut low
rates of interest; and better still.
they set forth the sound reasons for
their opposition with n clearheaded
directness and convincing force that
not many writers upon economic
subjects can command.
THAT the issuing of 81 ,000. O0O. 900
of Treasury notes" they say "and
loaning to the people either directly
or indirectly at Il low rate of inter:
est would lead to wild clamor for
credit, every intelligent person must
admit.
"That no system could be devised
or its operation SO guarded as to
prevent pariiality or favoriteism in
its distribution, first to personal
friends OF the loaning agent and
next to his political associates, every
thoughtful man must see.
That it would create feeling Of
helpless dependency upon Govern.

signed to benefit. thereby relaxing
their individual efforts, DESTROYING

During the HOLIDAYS.

The best part of the holiday seas
ON perhaps, is the opportunity it
gives for home gatherings and The
family reunions that in these busy
days are all too few. Many a
young man finds time to get back
to the old hearthstone and sit down
In the dear home circle who, if the
holidays were omitted, would be
kept strictly ut his tasks. All the
schools are dismissed, boys and
girls are at home, teachers likewise
are off duty, and, with no care
pressing, in thousands of places
parents and children have happy
times together for which they may
thank the festive season. There
are otneF unions ana reunions, all OF
them pleasant and helpful, but there
is hardly any such joy to a youth in
this world as that of getting back to
the fire-side where he was reared
There is rest there for him, a
perfection of peace such as that, no
matter how prosperous he may be
in his pursuits, never come to him
any place else. And greatly to be
pitied is he for whom no door of the
early home is open, against whom
it is blown shut by the pitiless
storms that have beset United
Presbyterian.

slation.of one proper character NAV


islation:of the proper character may
be discussed and enacted The par
tisanship Of the Republicans has, in
our opinion, much to DO with the
present trouble. They have been
so busy with partisan measures, so
intention political schemes, that they
have had no time for making laws
for the welfare of the common coun-
try. Their neglect OF she nation
business is simply bearing its nat
uraI fruit, and the people should
hold the majority in the present
Congress responsible.
1t is undoubtedly fact that the
money now in circulation in INSULT
cient. Secretary Window has been
doing what he could to offset this
by buying up bonds. at an enormous
premium, paying interest in advance
and putting money out in every
way possible. This has, however,
been like pouring water in rat
hole. 1t has not accomplished any
good whatever. Those who have
money are boarding it up for some
reason or other, and refuse to put it
in the regular channels of trade.
So, with ready money very scarce,
and the paper looked upon with
.disi,.nst and e.--,- :. .-i.s-. ,orr-
der that our business outlook is
shaky.
AS to the remedy for the trouble,
it is hard to say what will work out
the proper result. We believe it is
inevitable that matters will become
worse before they become better.
We look for severe financial thun-
der storm before the bushes atmos.
