The Men That We Need.

There are two classes of men who can
be very valuable TO US as members OF the
House of Delegates. C., those who have
legislative ability, and those who nave
magnetic power in the making of friends
The fact that one is fine lawyer, ms
chanic, or businessman does not neces-
sarily qualify him for effective service IN
committee-roOms and legislative balls.
The qualities we have mentioned are
essential, AID there are men here who " I'll
the bill" We can get them for the
asking.
Richmond will have great interests at
stake in the next General Assembly. and
we should see that they are properly pro-
tected. Every Democrat can help. and
the way 10 do it is to vote for model re-
preventative men when the primary takes
place.
Resolve to vote for four of the best men
for the work in band that you can find in
all this community.
We should not be in anyscreat hurry TO
have the primary. Give the people time
to think this whole matter over. They are
already more deeply interested than thoy
were a fortnight ago. A fortnight hence
they Will be more deeply interested than
they are now.
Let us move cautiously and in the light
of all the information that we can get from
other sections Of the State.

Governor CsmrhciI's Telling Points.
New York Worldl

While Mr.. Mckinley IS carving on a cam
paign OF glittering eeneralitles Governor
Campbell is telling the Ohio farmers some
plain and pregnant truths. lie has shown,
for example. that under the Mckinley act
the price of Ohio woods has undergone an
average decline of two and half cents per
pound. On the other hand foreign woods
lave advanced from two to four cents a
pound.
The explanation is simple. The price Of
the foreign wool is governed by the mar
ket. In other words il is subject TO the
natural laws that control oil manner Of
commercial operations.
If foreign woods are excluded from this
country by a high tariff tax the demand
for such domestic woods as are raised III
Ohio grows less, for Ohio woods, rs Gov
crnor Campbell well says, must be mixed
with foreign woods III order 10 render the
latter fully useful.
Governor Campbell calls attention TO q
secret circular issued by the Home Market
Club Of Boston. III which the following
statement Is made: 1T * a mistaken
idea with many manufacturers hat foreign
prices of wool are necessarily lower than
home prices under protecio They ave.
rage higher"
The manufacturer has done his utmost
TO fool the farmer, and III no respect Is this
truo- than III the wool schedule He has
made domestic woods cheaper 10y decrea.
sing the demand for them. and at the same
time he has gwen to himself for his goods
an alleged compensatory protection many
times greater than the supposed benefit
falsely promised to the wool-growcr.
The truth is interchangeable. The tariff
taxes ara imposed for the benefit of those
who pay the Republican campaign ex-
pcnses. The farmers and the other con-
sumers are ALWAYS the victims.

The German-Day Celebration.

Our German-American citizens have
been enjoying themselves celebrating the
anniversary Of the settlement OF their
countrymen in what is now the United
States and in singing the songs and recall
ing the glories Of their famous poet-sol-
dier. KorRNER.
They ore people who combine intense
love of the land of their ancestry with

to come when they will be forced to
diminish their affection for either.
Ties of blood and Of comradeship upon
many historic fields bind together the
German and the English-speaking peo-
piles. In America we have been brought
together under one roof almost. and we
have had the best sort of opportunity TO
study the German character. We cannot
but admire il for i,s honesty and sturdi-
ness; for its intelligence and industry.
and for its ready adaptation 10 the habits.

We like TO see the Germans in their out

ness and iovianess and an absence If pre-

appearance TO their gatherings and mark
them n true children of the Fatherland.

The Tariff and Silver.

Two of trade can never agree" the
old adage tells US: and 50 1t will not DC TO
say that Mr.. Mckinney. of Ohio. and Mr..
Mills. Of Texas. belong TO the same trade
though they seem to agree thoroughly ms
70 what issue should be made most prom-
nont in the current political campaign in
the Buckeye State. We ore not surprised
that these distinguished gentlemen be-
longing 10 different parties should agree
that the tariff question Is "a more impor-
tant one TO discuss before the people than

Dir. LINCOLN himself declared that if

question. u. H. /.
We DO not concur in the conclusion
reached by ID. IL. T." The Federal Con-
stitution denies TO every State the power
to pass any law impairing the obligation OF
contracts. We DO not concede that a
State could evado this provision by simply
passing laws providing that certain con-
tracts should be held TO be yiolable.
However, we do not wish 10 discuss now
the questions involved in this matter.

1t is description Of the oyster'slif from

Mr.. WILSON treats particularly of Della

will be found true also Of tho shores of the
Atlantic aud Chesapeake in Virginia and

it is good reading. and If Governor JACK
