There is good deal of activity in
our navy yards, and several vessels
have been dispatched to Chill. If
these Spaniards know what is good
for them, they will not rise the ire
of Uncle Sam. 1t looks now as if
we will have n brush with Chill,
growing out of the murder of sew
eral of the Baltimore's crew, as Chill
is disposed to be saucy with us, and
so far refuses to make any apology or
reparation for the insult offered our
flag.

Hon. Charles e Hogg, of Point
Pleasant, delivered masterly
speech before the Democratic Club
on Friday evening last. The large
hall was crowded To its utmost ca
pacity, and many were unable to
gain admission. Mr.. Hogg is a
forcible, eloqueat and convincing
speaker, and produced a profound
impression upon his audience. He
served in Congress with Governor
Campbell and came over to testify
to his respect for the brilliant leader
of the Democratic hosts GalIipoLis

The recent articles of Gath in the
Cincinnati Enquirer, abusing the
people of West Virginia, does not
seem to have done much harm, but
when he comes to abuse individuals
like Gen. McCausland, he may have
to prove what he says, or pay large
ly or libel. There is no truth in
what he says, and his abuse is un-
called for. We make this plain
statement to prevent further trouble
of the same kind.

A party that would uphold the
moIstrous steal of 1876 by the to 8
commission, can be depended upon
to oppose ballot reform and purity
in elections. A secret ballot and
an honest count is a menace % Re-
publicans. The Australian ballot is
hated by them, for they know it
means their defeat in 1892, as they
have no chance to manipulate the
returns.

Chilli isn't backing down as fast
as she ought. American sailors
when they go ashore at Valparaiso
are i'll treated, and Chill refuses all
responsibility. Several American
war ships have been ordered to that
point for the purpose of protecting
American rights and interests. In
the recent unprovoked street fight
one sailor was killed and o number
wounded, several of whom have
since died.

Russia, under the operations of a
Mckinley tariff" is to day one OF
the most unhappy nations on the
face of the globe. The people,
groaning under the burdens of tax
alton to support an immense stand
ing army and facilities for large
military operations, reduced to a
condition of hopeless slavery, have
become desperate, and spend their
time in plotting for the destruction
of their rulers and the wealthier
classes who live by a systematic
robbery of the poor. The Gar lives
in constant dread of assassination,
and hatred of this despotic govern
ment is the ruling passion among
the masses. This is the condition
of the country with a 60 per cent.
tariff. There is one other country
whose people are subjected to the
same burdensome taxation. We're
fer to the United States of America.

Free Mail peIirery to Farmers.

An organized effort is under way
among the farmers OF New York to
secure from congress free mail de-
livery in country towns. The
Farmers Alliance, the Patrons of
Husbandry and others are canvass
ing the matter. Letters are being
written to the congressman in favor
of the project, and petitions to con-
gress for free delivery are being
circulated in many parts of the
country. The farmers assert that
the daily mail delivery to their
doors will add perceptibly to the
money value of their farms, and
will be worth still more because it
will keep them in touch with the
markets and outside world, and rob
farm life of its isolation and mono
tony. The farmers are writing to
the agricultural press that this con-
venience would enable them quite
generally to take the daily papers,
as well as to subscribe for local
papers more literally In the
American AgriculturalisH for No
vember, Postmaster General Wanna
maker states definitely for the first
time that experiments by the post
Office department for free delivery
in the farming districts show that
the increase of revenue more than
pays all increased expense. He
believes that universal free delivery
would, therefore, be self: sustaining.

we never knew that Parkersburg
was such a big town until we met
the editors in convention in that
growing aud thriving city week
or two ago. The people gave us a
chance TO view the industries of that
city. They have oil refining works,
veneer and panel works, acid works,
iurnitnre taeiories, chair factoy5es, q
big brewery company, the ohiol
Valley coffee roasting company,
and a very large number Of smaller
industries, that could not be visited
in a day by our party 1t is these
industries that makes Parkersburg
a wealthy and progressive city
really the town OF the State. If we
ever expect to make a big town opt
of Point Pleasant our people must
encourage all kinds OF industries,
and put their money into them, as
do the people of Parisersburg. Up.
there when they conceive an enter
prise that will do them good, they
don't wait for foreign capital to
come on and help them, but go down
into their own private pockets, aud
bring forth the necessary money to
start the smachine'' going. Park

ing city.
