THE FATE OF THE LAMENTER.

Once upon time there was a great
lamenter in West Virginia politics, who
poured out his woeful plant to all who
would hear. He was big man too, IN
diameter and circumference, bn: little in
deeds and less in common selise and
judgment. Many, many years ago he
wanted to be Congressman and Post-
Master on an independent ticket when
there was no independent party. Ever
since that he has lost his temper. be
published paper, too, an organ OF his
own political and personal dimensions.
He had a rival, little paper called The
HERALD, which, he said wouldn't live
three months and must be suppressed, as
it had neither character nor brains. This
rival worried him great deal because
it went along quietly in its party's way
and not in his way. 1t was Democratic
in disguise he said, and had no influence,
and yet he loved to tell and lamentingly
dwell on the fact that its editor wrote a
letter to the Postmaster General about
him, which he never produced and never
proved and he takes great delight jump
ing on this little paper with his ponder
Gus feet and trying to crush the tender
plant. But it grew and fiourished, and
people loving fair-play and honest treat
ment, argued that if this little paper had
no influence and no brains, how did II
come that its friends succeeded and its
party succeeded, and this great Nestor OF
everything completely failed and was al
ways lamenting. The people reasoned
further, that probably if this great la.
| menter had used his efforts to further the
interests of his party and his friends in
stead of continually harassing its friends
and aiding its enemies and crushing his
rivals, he would be now rejoicing instead
of standing alone on the housetop cav
ing through all the dreary day. And sc
his end approached. Friends and
mourners stood around. the last sad rites
had been administered, and the supreme
moment came when the spirit passed
away to that better land where rivals
trouble not and Insignificant editors
| without character or brains disturb no
| the saints with writing letters to the
| Post Master-General. But the ruling
power was strong in death, and al
friends pressed the last sad kiss on tina
affectionate countenance, he murmureC
low and lamentingly that he would have
gotten his poor post-office had it not beer
for that little, insignificant HERALD ant
its unfortunate editor who had not s
SINGLE redeemable feature.
Time has passed but THE HERALD still
lives and serenely floats its banners t.
the breeze of public favor. True meri
always wins. and the highest vindica
ton of mans course is the performance
of his duty in the face of the most unre
lenting opposition. Did he yield to thu
self.seeking lamenters and detractors i
would be at the sacrifice of his manhood
and principles, and be spurned by publi
opinion. The man without an enemy i

The disaster list of 1890 is steadily
frightening, and the number of vic
tins is being added to by the hun
dred. The cyclone in Minnesota
and Wisconsin Monday evening
was II most destructive one. Al
this writing the loss of life at Lake
City, Minnesota, is placed at any
where between 100 and 200, moi
counting the deaths resulting from
the capslzing of an excursion steam
er on Lake Pepin, which had 20t
passengers on board-some accounts
say 350-of whom about 20 only
were saved. At other points in the
course of the cyclone many persons
were killed, and much property was
DESTROYED.

Last week the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company suspended
about two hundred and fifty men
from the shops. At Riverside about
twenty-five were allowed to go
twenty-five from the round house,
and the same IN proportion from the
different departments. The cause
was a lack OF work. All the cars
owned by the company are now be.
ing used in the excursion business.
This takes all the work out of the
shops, and, IN order to cut down ex.
penses, the men were allowed to go.
On Monday more men will be sus-
pended.-BGlt0. american.

The Keystone > Democrats have
rencmlnated the old ticket. Having
run in Pattison aud Black during a
heavy squall in 1882, they think
they can put them safely in port
again. This ticket will take full adj
vantage of the republican revolt
against Delameter and Quay, but
on the other hand the Wallace men
are dissatisfied and angry and the
republicans have 10000 majority.

are in collision. AS the latter is a
bigger state than the former it might
