Australasia. The appropriations by the
various States OF the Union to insure u
respectable American exhibit are gen
erous, but they will form but q small
part of the whole In short the show
will be in facta Worlds Fair and will
only be local with us in that 1t will be
located on American soil.
West Virginia will be on the ground
to advertise to the entire world her
matchless resources, and in all her his
tory no grander opportunity has been
presented for her to make known to the
people of the earth what she is, what
she has, and what she is capable OF.
The appropriation she has made for
this purpose is small compared with
the benefits that are expected, but it is
enough to insure that she will occupy
respectable place among her sister
States. But the people OF State
which contains such possibilities as
ours does should not be satisfied with q
merely respectable representation. The
State pride which is characteristic
of every West virginian, as well
as their progressive and enterprising
spirit, will prevent them from being
content with anything less than dis
play which will be wholly crcditablc
and fully serve its purpose. Every citi-
zen is interested in the importance of a
splendid West Virginia exhibit at the
Worlds Fair, and should cooperate
with the commissioners, who are
laboring SO faithfully to make our part
of the great exposition a complete
success, and one of which we may all
speak with pride. Aside from any
sentimental considerations, there are
the material benefits which will surely
result and which we feel sure every
intelligent citizen appreciates.

in the United States, but the number
includes diamonds, sapphires, rubiesl

very valuable. Turquois was worked

Death Of G. G. BOehmler.

After a sickness of more than a
week of pneumonia, Chas. G. Boehm-
Ter breathed his last at an early hour
on Friday morning. Aside from the
sympathy for the wife and four little
children, there was great interest felt
in the case by the entire community,
for Mr.. Doehmler was recognized on
all sides as a valuable citizen. He
came to Smyrna in January 1887 as the
successor of Mrs. Sophia DOsch in the
bakery business, a native of Germany,
but speaking the English language
very well and understanding and APP
preciating the American habits. 1t was
soon manifest that he was a superior
baker, thoroughly Industrious, and
doing business after approved business
methods. He showed himself to be q
large hearted man, excelling many of
our native citizens who were very
much more able, in any scheme for de-
velOping local enterprise. AS an in
stance of this, there was but one sub
scriptiOn Of higher figure than his in
the voluntary subscriptions to secure
and establish the Hosiery mandatory
in our town. He seemed always ready
to do his part and more than his part
in comparison with others, and the
death of such men is a loss to any COM
munity. The two past years were
years of encouragement to his busi-
ness, the last especially so, and it seems
pity that he should be cut off when
just merging on a period that has
brighter promises in it of business sue
cess The deceased has not been a ro.
bust man, but he had comparative
youth on his side, not having reached
his 3Sth year.
He was member of Militia Lodge
No. 292 A. F. & A. NJ, of Philadel-
phia, and showed that wise business
precautiOn which was characteristic of
him, in having an insurance on his life
of $500 in the North Western Ma
sonic Mutual Aid Association.
The funeral was largely attended oG
Monday afternoon, Rev. G.. W. Dame
officiating, the remains being deposited
in his lot in the Odd Fellows Gene
terry, where he had previously buried q
child.
The Goral designs were very elabor-
ate, the chief being a maltese cross in

THE italian question has continued
to attract the attention of diplomats Oi
Europe aud America while the Gov
ernment of Italy is growing all the
time more pacific. Outside of that
country the newspapers Of the civilized
world are declaring that Blaine's reply
to Rudini was a stroke of mastery
craftsmanship. The sum and sub
stance of the matter is that
the stand taken at Washington is
unassailable. Every step has been on
firm ground. The London Times says:
1--WE sympathise with the people of
the United States in their determina-
tion not to allow vile social diseases
like the Malta to take root"
The recent lynching at New Orleans
and the subsequent complication with
Italy are very likely to have at least
one good effect in this country. They
have directed public attention once
more to our immigration laws and to
the necessity of a more rigid scrutiny
of the people who are coming here
from Europe. In every affair like that
at New Orleans the trouble is trace
able to foreigners and Poles who are
forever making trouble for cur
authorities are of the same class.
1t is true enough that immigration
has been of wonderful assistance to
this country in times past. 1t is true
also that many Of the most successful
OF our adopted citizens come here very
poor. But times have changed There
are no longer the same opportunities
here for men without capital. The
competition among wOrkmen at the
bottom of the ladder is terrific. The
poor immigrant, without the means of
supporting himself for a few months
at least, is pretty sure to become a
charge upon the community or to be
driven into vagabOndage and crime.
There is but one safe course for the
State and that is to exclude all such
immigrants.
There are races that should be ex-
cluded for other reasons. Those train
ed up to such ignorance of the mean
ing of Liberty, under the influence of
such dark superstition. that they are
incapable of cOmprehending tbs insti-
tutions Of our country or adopting
themselves to our conditions, such peo,
pie are bound to be an endless care
and expense and they ought to be ex.
cluded.
1t is from these classes that most of
the followers of the socialist and an
archist agitatOrs are recruited.

Rev. Mr.. Wilson took for his text at
the Methodist Church Sunday MORN
ing the single word, "Selah," J." from the
Psalms. He said it was a word that
caused a great deal Of research and
controversy by commentators as to its
import and meaning. It occurred sew
enty one times in the Psalms and three
times in the prophecy of Hahackuk
and always in GnpneGtinl with the
poetic part, such as would be adopted
for music. He quoted an authority
who gave this as the meaning Of
''Selah," to stop, that Is, tho singers
would stop or pause while the instru-
ments went on, that when Higgaion was
used the instruments were to pause,
and wheA both words were paed It
meant for both 10 stop,
Taking this view Of it he made
'Selah" serve as the key note for the
morning discourse In proper view of
many things wherein it would be bet.
ter to stop, pause. A number of sub
jects, social, political and national were
referred to where the result was evil
to society and those who play an active
part should pause" and see where they
are going.
He referred to the American Con,
gress, the Senate, in its failure to ratify
the Brussels treaty prohibiting the ex-
portation of tire arms and intoxicating
liquors in the Congo Free State Of
Africa when all the other leading pow
ers of Europe had entered into such an
agreement, as ar act that was degrad-
ing to us as a nation and made our re-
public an abettor of those who carried a
curse and further degradation to the
benighted people who should be afFords
ed every opportunity for civilizing and
ehrlstianizing. In dwelling upon the
evils growing out of the liquor traffic
he took occasion to refer to Queen
Victoria in complementary terms for
congratulating her peoples that there
was decrease In the revenues from the
sale OF spurious liquors in England, in
contrast to the president of this great
Republic, quoting President Harrison
as speaking apprOvingly of an increase
in the revenues from the sale of spirit
uOus liquors in the United States. It
was news and therefore a surprise to a
number Of his hears who read the pap
ers and keep fully abreast of public
events to have the statement from the
pulpit that president Harrison, who, as
a firm and consistent member of the
Presbyterian Church and an abstainer
from intoxicants should suddenly have
changed his convictions and bloomed
out as a friend of the Whiskey Ring
aud extending his congratulations
that they were having increased sales

destruction OF families, s,-sorrow to the |
