if the Government will take care OF
the capitalist, the capitalist will
take care of the workingman."
The Mckinley Bill increased the
tariff on glass-for the benefit of the
poor workingman, of course-yet it
is singular fact that thousands OF
glassworkers in this country are on
strike against a reduction in
wages.
1t is said that among other de-
vices the Secretary of the Treasury
is Withholding appropriations made
by the last Congress for the erec-
ton OF public buildings, in order to
conceal the bottom of the money
pile in the Treasury.
The President has appointed Jno.
S. Durham, a negro, to be minister
to Hayti, in place of Fred. Dougla:s.
As Douglass was such failure,
Mr.. Blaine was opposed to the ap-
pointment of another negro, but
Mr.. Harrison disregarded his wishes.
The Harrison family having TAX
On possession of the earth, are now
claiming Uncle. Sans vessels so
that they can obtain the sea and the
fullness thereof.
Democrats who are Interested say
that their party is not organized as
well as it should be, and that there
is urgent need of active operations.
Victories will not win themselves
that's certain.
Why not make Col. Elliott Fire
eater Shepard Secretary of War?
He could also be the army ut the
same time, to say nothing of his ca
pability as blunderbuss.
Six persons were arrested in Bal
timore the other day, charged with
conspiring against the pension laws.
Commissioner Raum, however, is
still at large.
The Democrats seem confident of
carrying Ohio in November, and
many of the party papers think that
Gov. Campbell will be reelected by
a largely increased majority.
Let our County Democratic Ex-
ecutive Committee hold meeting
at an early day and arrange for a
thorough and complete organization
of the party.
Speaking about West Virginia s
share of the direct tax appropria-
ton, it looks as though possession
is about ten points of the law with
the Secretary of the Treasury.
The high tariff people are now
admitting that the Mckinley bill
has put up the price of many of the
necessities of life, but, they ask,
what are you going to do about it?
The platform of the Pennsylvania
Democrats, boiled down, says simply
"Thou shalt not steal This ought
to be rather taking motto, in view
of recent events in the keystone
State.
The Worlds Fair managers have
gotten past the quarreling stage,
and are unanimous in the attempt
to borrow five millions of dollars

Secretary Rusk has received of

American pork into that country.
Wouldn't it be good idea to send
some good tariff reform orator upon
the track of High Protectionist
Horn in West Virginia?
They say now that Hon. S. B. Ell

tanning their majority, II they desire
this country and its liberties to be
handed over to set of mercenaries
like these? We ask these young
men if they desire to hand the coun-
try over to a party who would thus
trample upon the constitutional
rights of the people, the customs
and theory of the government from
its birth, for the purpose of retain
ing power against the will of the
people? We ask them if they desire,
so soon in life, to surrender the
rights and liberties which cost so
much of the blood and treasure OF
the fathers of the republic? If they
do not, they must not cast their lot
with the Republican party. In the
ranks of the Democracy is the only
safe place for a man who loves lib
erty and the free institutions of his
country. This grand old party con-
meets its birth with that of the
Union. The most prosperous and
happiest days of the country was
when it was governed by the De-
mocracy. The very life principle
of this government, is, that all of its
citizens are rightfully entitled to an
equal and fair chance in the race
of life. When the Democracy made
the laws and executed them, all the
citizens of the republic had an equal
and a fair chance, and hence they
were happy, prosperous and con-
tented. No law that is not general
in its operation can ever pass a
Democratic legislative body.
1t will be seen, we think, that the
gulf between the Democratic idea OF
government and that of the Repub-
lican, is deep and broad and utterly
irreconciidGle. The one is for giving
the people the largest possible lib
erty of action and thought-of as

at the hospital, where information can AWAY,
be obtained.
DR.. W. W. Johnston has recently been made
president Of the medical staff in the place OF
Or. Toner. The affairs of the hospital are in
good condition. Ground was broken a week
ago for the new wing, which it is talked OF
naming the Miller building. in memory Of the
late Justice Miller. who was a great friend OF
the institution. This will have a capac-
ity OF sixty beds, all free, doubling the
present accommodations of the hospital.
when the new wing is completed the working
staff will be largely increased. and a separate
building for the accommodation Of the nurses
will become a necessity.
HE members Of the board of directors say
That much OF the success of the hospital is due
10 the constant watchfulness and excellent
business methods of Mr.. Reginald Fendall, the
chairman of the executive committee. who de-
votes a grea. deal OF time to the administration
of its affairs
Justice Harlan. who took the place of Just
ice Miller on the board has taken great in
terest in the hospital and both he and Mrs.
Harlan are frequent visitors.

THE G. A. X. ENCAMPMENT.

An Informal Talk by Members of the Execu-
tive Committee.
As q result of the illness of Chairman John
Joy Edison there was no regular meeting of the
executive committee for the G. A. r. encamp-
ment Saturday evening. as was expected. All
the other members were present and some time
was spent in informally discussing plans for the
entertainment and accommodation of the vast
crowds that are expected to take possession of
the city. Secretary Dingman reported that he
had received applications for quarters from
more than dozen posts since the last meeting
Of the committee. Capt. Lemon. chairman of
the finance committee. said that he thought the
necessary guarantee fund would be promptly
raised among the business men of this city.
and that the entertainment provided for the
Grand Army would excel anything that had
been done heretofore. In addition to enter
tanning and taking care of the delegates there
were always, he said. number OF the old soldiers
Of the great rank and file to provide for. This
would be done in the most thorough manner,
and the present idea was to pitch thousands OF
tents on the Monument grounds.
In the event, Capt Lemon said, that these
would not be sufficient. some of the school
houses would be utilized. The committees in
tended to make such complete arrangements
that no old soldier could come to the cncamp-
ment and leave feeling he was neglected.

THE POTOMAC ARcHERs.
Matches at Long Range--Omcers Of the East

hetCues ~ long h0nge--OmcerD OF the East
ern Association.
Since the meeting Of the National Archery
Society at Natural Bridge, Va, the latter part
OF August, there has been a marked increase Of
interest shown in the sport The local bowmen
have shot series Of matches with the western
clubs and have won a fair proportion. This
promises to become an important factor OF
archery, since the clubs are so far apart that
they can seldom meet. The clubs now select
teams OF four ladies and the same num-
Der OF gentlemen and, shooting upon their
own grounds, send their scores by
mail. October two public meetings were held
at Norwood. Ohio, the Walnut Hills Club en-
tertained the archers Of the Miami valley,
thirty-one ladies and gentlemen shooting the
complete rounds. Mrs. Howell. the American
championess, scored l43 hits, 915 score, at the
double Columbia round, one Of the best public
records extant. NJ. c. Howell, who ranked
second at the national meet took first place at
the double American round, scoring 162 hits,
800 score
The average of the scores was unusually
high. At the arsenal. in this city, on the same
day the POtomacs enjoyed their fall outing.
Miss Williams won first rank among the ladies
with a record at the double Columbia round of
125 hits, 651 score. Among the bowmen L. W.
Ma1son led with 173 hits, gu score, thus out
ranking the winner in the western meeting
Miss Williams stood third among all the ladies
shooting that day.
Thursday and Friday of last week the merry
twang of bow string and hiss of arrow
marked the progress Of the Eastern Association
meeting. Owing to the rainy weather of the
preceding days and other causes the attend
ance was chiefly local. The shooting was close
enough to make the contests deeply interest
ing. and prizes were sufficiently numerous to
insure happy ending for every archer. The
leading scores were:

A Fight In a Church.

Witnesses in the Police Court Saturday
described the trouble that occurred in the
First Baptist Church. colored, on
Meridien Hill last Monday night.
There was festival given in the
church. and when the band played lively air
some Of the young folks began doing the light
fantastic, which the Rev. Redman promptly
checked. A scene Of disorder followed, so the
witnesses said. and many Of the fence palings
were used in the combat.
One colored woman said it looked like war
times. although no one was killed. She saw
plenty of blood stains on the floor. Another
witness. after telling Of the fight said that the
sold cakes and fruit including grapes and
Judge Miller asked if they had any grape
juice. She answered in the negative but said
she saw one Of the men have bottle of whisky.
The defendants in the case were Nelia Dixon,
George Roberts. Leonard Cole. Mary Dixon,
Louisa Simms, Moses Simms and Robert Ross.
Leonard Cole was one of those who was
selected to keep order. but the proof was that
he took as much part in the affair as the others,
and Judge Miller fined them $40 each.

THE PUBLIC NIGHT SCHOOLS.
They Will Be Opened Next Monday Eve
ing-Change of the High School.

They Will Be Opened Next Monday Even
ing-Change of the High School.
The public night schools will be reopened for
the year next Monday evening. The committee
of trustees having this matter in charge has
made out q scheme for the year and will
present it to the board at its meeting tomor-
row night for approval and adoption. The
general plan is similar to that of last year with
the exception of the High School branch,
which is to be enlarged and improved. Last
season the experiment was tried OF IN
Producing into the system an ad-
vanced course for the teaching OF
the most practical and difficult topics that
could be undertaken in night school scheme.
The experiment was demonstrated to be q COM
plete success, although the accommodations
and facilities at the Thompson building, where
the High School was established. were quite IN
sufficient This year an improvement Will be
made by the transfer Of the school to the rooms In
the Franklin building occupied by the Business
High School and by the employment Of addi-
tional teachers. Last year $50 pupils attempted
to gain admission. but this number had to be re-
duced until but $50 finished the course. This
year it is expected that $50 can be given seats
and accommodated throughout the year.
THE NIGHT HIGH SCHOOL.
It is anticipated that there will be quite q
competition for places in the night High
School, and that the number of applicants will
far exceed the facilities. 1t has therefore been
arranged to have those who desire admission to
this school present themselves at the office of
Mr.. c. A. Davis, the principal OF the Business
High School, in the Franklin building tomor-
row, Thursday and Saturday afternoons be-
tween the hours of $50 and 5 clock. They
viii be briefly examined to determine their
general fitness, and those who appear to DO
qualified will be given tickets OF admission.
The endeavor will be to maintain a certain
standard, whether those who reach it number
twenty five or $50. Last year large number
of wholly incompetent pupils started on the
work and we're obliged to stop.
The other night schools will be on exactly
the same plan as heretofore, and will be open
to all who come. There will be a school in
each of the places SO occupied in lSs9-90.
There will be fifty-two teachers employed.
The studies taught in the lower grades will
be reading, writing, arithmetic. grammar,
spelling, geography and United States history.
In the lowest Of the four grades civil govern
ment is substituted for history. In the High
School the course includes shorthand, type
writing, bookkeeping. mechanical drawing,
mathematics and English grammar and litera-
ture. Any three subjects can be taken at
once, but no more.
