On Fair Vote She is Doubtless Repub-
Iican.

The Republicans of West Virginia claim
that the appointment of Stephen B.
EIFins to be secretary of war mas greatly
strengthened the party in that state.
Very little strengthening is required to
give the vote of the state to the Repub-
licans party i'll 1892. Cleveland's maj or-
ity in 1883 was only 552. Were it not for
counting possibilities, West Virginia
would long ago have come to be regarded
as doubtful state with chances in favor
of the Republicans. On fair vote she is
doubtless Republican.-Denver Sun.

The Old Tariff Would Not Suit the Eng
Iish Free Traders.

Lets go back TO the tariff of the faith,
ers' say some of the self-styled "Jetfer-
soniau" Democrats. Well. that might
not be bad idea IN some respects. For
instance, the tariff of the fathers imposed
10 per cent higher duty on all foreign
goods imported into this country in for,
eign ships than on similar goods Imported
in American ships. The result of this
admirable provision was to encourage the
use of American ships and efectualy to
discourage the use of foreign vessels.

my boy chamberlain to make up my
bed by clapping my hands. 1t has no
windows, and it looks out on q little
garden full of the most beautiful flow
ers. The hotel is built around this gar
den. 1t is of one story, and makes me
think of Il hotel ut which l stopped in
one of the native states of IIindostan,
Jcyporc, save that there had my own
servant, and he slept all night in front
of my door. Aguas Calicntes contains
about 40, 900 people, ana nine-tenths of
the houses are of one story. They all
have fiat roofs, and the water is drained
off through pipes of clay which jut out
about Il foot from the c.lgc of the walls.
These walls are very chick. They are
built of stone or sun.dricd brick, and
are succeed where they face the street,
and this plastcring-lilsc stucco has been
painted i'll delicate blues or pinls or
yellowS, making the whole town one
mass of rainbow colors, which, strange
to say. does not look out of place under
this bright Mexican SUI. None of these
houses have gardens in front of them.
They arc built close up to the cobblc-
stone sidewalks, so that in going
through the town you seem to be pass
ing between walls of gayly-colorcd bill
boards ready for the posters, each of
which has Il hole in its center for door.
The poorer houses have doors very
roughly made, and in the galloping
mule street car that takes YOU from the
depot to the center of the town YOU see
few houses with windows, and many of
these doors are filled with qucer-looll-
ing, dark-faced people. The men in
their red and gayly-colored blankets
look picturesque, and the women, with
their dark, mahogany faces, their long,
black hair streaming down their backs,
freshly wet from their last bath in the
hot waters, arc in some cases very pref
ty, and in others as ugly as the Witch
of Endor after an attack of the small
pOX.

Upper California was first visited by
the Spaniards in 1542. Sir Franci S
Drake, the same who took Raleigh's
colony back to England III 1850, visited
upper California III 1870. calling it New
Albion, which means new England.

made the first settlement of white pco-
pie in that country. There were only

Trouble In the Military Companv.

Colonel Joe Lane Stearncs, accom-
panied by Colonel Jones, of the First
Virginia Regiment, and Lieutenant
Johnston, OF the Washington Rifles, of
Abingdon, was here to-day to inspect
the jeff Davis Rifles. Capt. G. H.
Strousc left for kentucky yesterday
and Lieutenant King was in Washing
ton, d. c., SO that, as there we're no
other commissioned officers, the com
panv could not be inspected, and it is
thought that when the Governor gets
the inspectors report there will be some
trouble about the matter. There is Il
great deal OF dissatisfaction in the COM
pany anyhow, and the boys are inclined
to let the company be disbanded unless
they can gee certain measures passed
for which they have already asked.

The genius, as you can sec, is tracing

at the result. The work is being done
by Prof. Gaetano Russo, of Rome, and
is nearly finished. It will cost at least
$4,000, of which more than half has al
ready been contributed by the Italian
residents in this country. 1t will be
delivered here on August Is, 1892, at the
latest and will be unvailcd on October

from residents of High street. asking
that the old Iwo-inch water pipes on
that street be replaced by four-inch
mains, and that as that street is now be-
ing graded and widened that this change
in the pipes be made at once. AS there
are many handsome residences on this

is totally inadequate, the council did

authorize the secretary to borrow 1900

In tho Hastings Court yesterday the
jury in the case of Palmer against the

the president had signed the bill adj
hitting it the evening of July 8, so it
has had it's star all the year. With the
one added for Wyoming the stars will
number forty-four. 1t promises to be
several years before any more terrific
ries are admitted into statehood, SO that
the emblem is not likely to undergo
further change for some time to como.
In unofficial flags the admission of
Wyoming has been recognized by its
extra star for nearly the year past, and
the grouping of the stars has been &C.

Every flag floating as the sign of au-

flags with less than forty-four stars and
