THE DECAY OF REVENGE.

How surprising it would be to any nineteenth cent
ury man who should read the Psalms for the first time
at an age OF reflection to note how David (or whoever
did that terrible cursing) in continual collision
with "enemesw The word occurs niuet -four times
in the $50 Psalms thirty-fve times joined with the
possassve pronoun mine" Can conceive OF
Tennyson or Browning not to speak of Charles Yves
ley or Whittier, giving enemies such place in their
hymns? Queen Victoria has a good deal larger from
tier than David, and may be officially supposed to have
enemies all over the globe; but even when we sing
"God save the Queen we are content to wish their
"knavish tricks frustrated aud their politics con
founded and do not want to take their little ones and
dash them against the stones. But not only may we
congratulate ourselves the waning the dread pas
sons of hatred and revenge; may also feel sure
rejoice in the positive development of the converse
sentiments of beuevolence and sympathy. The en-.
thusasm of humanity is a truly modern passion

Imnortant Decision.

For some time past it has been a dis
pute2 question among the members Of
the bar, whether a judgment rendered
by justice is barred by the statute of
limitations, after three years from the
last execution issued on such judgment.
Several of the Circuit Judges have held
that such judgment was barred after
three years from the date of the last ex-
ecution, and the bar was quietly acqui-
escing in such opinion.
In the case of Livesay VS.. Dunn that
recently went to the Supreme Court of
Appeals from Greenbrier County, that
Court held, Judge Lucas rendering the
opinion, that such judgments were not
barred till after ten years from the date
of the last execution, the same as judg-
ments rendered by the Circuit Court
that they can be revived by suit within
ten years next after the date of the
judgment.-Ec
1t seems that the bar have not all quiet
ly acquiesced in the above decision of sew.
eral Circuit Judges, nor have the Circuit
Judges been unanimous therein.
In the suit of Jas. w. Tabler & Bro.
VS.. Geo W. Miller. &C., brought in the
Circuit Court of Berkeley County in 1884
to enforce the lien OF judgment render
ed by justice of the peace on the eth
of May. 1878, and on which no execution
had ever issued, Hughes & Hughes, at
torneys for defendants, defended on the
ground that the judgment and lien there
of had become extinct by lapse Of time,
while Faulkner & Ingles, for plaintiff
commended that it was still alive and
would continue so for ten years after its
rendition and on The goth day of Janu
airy, 1884, his Honor, Judge Faulkner
rendered decree in the case in accord
ance with the views of the plaintiffs.

STUFFING THE SOUL AND STARVING
THE BODY.

There is want and distress on
every hand this year. In Europe
millions Of men are engaged in labor
agitations for the betterment of their
condition. Their governments do
much talking and promising, but
give little relief. They have millions
for defense and the glory Of the en-
pire,-noble and liberal workers in
art and science and education, but
stray are the pennies to provide food
for the craving stomach. The
ancients had their pharisees as a
class. The moderns have them in
control Of society, church and state.
Few men work in this age for the
hereafter reward. Their schemes
must bring rich harvests in money,
property, fame and notorietv. States.
men and churchmen scorn silent
good. 1t is too tame. They don't
trust the hereafter. The house-top
in this world is better for them than
to run the risk OF going sup little
farther" when the world sees them
little later on.
This age aud every country are
witnessing great things, mighty I'M
dertakings. wonderful Inventions -
international plans aud exhibitions
and no end to the show of wealth
and pride of nation and individual
but it is doubtful whether the com
mon good does not suffer the most
at the expe use Of general progress.
10 both hemispheres the weaker
nations and more unfortunate peo-
pie are oppressed by the greedy
hand of the stronger. The desire
for wealth and the struggle for pc
litical power respect neither right
nor justice. The nobility and feudal
lords in this age are not limited to
the royal household. They set up
for themselves whenever they com.
mand few thousand pounds or con-
trola little political patronage. There
never yet was an evil for which the
people found no remedy, and time
will right every wrong.

REWARDlNG THE FAITHFUL

Gov. Fleming has gwen three OF
his best appointments to his own
county. Marion among them that oil
Dave NJ. Harr, late member of the
Legislature, as Mine Inspector.
Harr was elected as Labor Dele
gate from Governor Jennings own
county. From the day of his cleo.
ton death watch of Marion county
Democrats, personal friends of Gov.
FlelAng, was placed over him.
When he reached the State Capt..
tai he was watched day and night.
1t was not thought safe to let him
go anywhere alone, and so his
cousin, another Harr from the same
county, was established in Charles.
ton oStensibIy to run the elevator in
the Capital Building, really to be
paid out of the State Treasury for
standing guard over Delegate Dave.
This same Delegate Dave was
courted and watched all through the
regular session, Fleming's friends
fearing that he might vote to force
obedience to the Constitution in the
opening and declaring OF the vote
for Governor. lie was courted and
watched again during the critical ex
ira session, the Democrats fearing
that he might break away and vote
according to the law and the evi,
dence, which wonld have been a vote
to seat Golf.
All this time 1t was no secret that
the Mine Inspectorship was within
his reach If he would vote for Elem,
ing. When Harr arose in his place
and posed as hero martyr who had
been basely approached with a bride
and nObly spurned the offer, it was
clear that he had agreed to deliver
his vote to Fleming aud take the
Office of Mine Inspector.
His prompt admission before the
investigating committee that he had
perjured himself caused some OF
Governor Jennings friends to OPP.
pose the appointment of Harr. But
the deal had been made and the
Governor has stood up to it. The
vote is to be paid for out of the pub
lie Treasury.
Not an honest man WHO is acquaint
ed with Harr will say that the ap
polntment Is worthy one. Harr
is an ignorant man, not a mining en-.
gineer, not an expert miner, not the
character of man to be Mine Inspec
tor if he had all the learning in the
books. The selection of such man
over all the competent Democrats in
the State is an objectionable oflense
Seeing that the lives of the men in
the mines are to be in a degree in
his keeping, it would have been
more human to raise a purse to pay
him spot cash for his vote and close
up the account.
Nothing more diSreputable than
this has happened in all the history
OF the man9uvering 10 do the people
of West Virginia out of their right
to choose Governor.-IR tcNiGencer

AGRICULTURAL DEPRESSION.
OUR RAPID DEVELOPMENT AND
LAND POLICY AMONG THE
CAUSES.

The American AgrieultRrist thus
sums up what it deems the causes OF
the present depressed condition of
our agricultural interests:
Frisi. Overproduction caused by
Second. The governments free land
policy and
Third. Its Immigration system.
The tariff, no doubt, has an i'm
poriant bearing on the issue, but a
still mole potent influence is domes-
tic taxation, and the combinations
of buyers aud traDsporters that
largely govern the movement and
prices of produce. An unbiased
scrutiny of the last decade reveals
the extent to which these influences
have combined to cunnlDgly divert
attention from themselves by direct
ing the public mind toward the tar.
i'll. The farmers at last seem to
grasp the situation. While, like the
workers in other industries, farmers
hold widely divergent opinions as to
the duty on imports, they are now
unifying their efforts upon reforms
relative to land, finance (including
taxation) and transportation
three great problems which in the
multitudinous details affect so vital.
ly the producers and therefore the
welfare of the entire United States.
TIME TO CALL A HALT.
Instead of opening new lands 20
settlement, which would add
abnormally to the overproduction,
the time has come to call Il halt. The
proposed scheme for retaining the
arid region may be wise proviso
for the distant future, but no abnor-
NAL stimulant should be applied to
the actual development ofreally new
lands until the census OF 1900 shows
that agriculture has fully adjusted
itself TO the new conditions imposed
upon it By the mushroom progress OF
the past quarter of "a century. Let
the population catch up with pro
duction. Let the comparatively
small area of public land still unset
tied be held in reserve. Let the
now unworked but cultivated areas
