The editor OF the Everett (Pa.) Pres
says: "The editor is still receiving
specimens OF biz vegetables. The latest
was nine.pound cabbage, turnip or
rutabaga from Michael Gillian, and
two big vegetables OF the turnip species
from Mr.. Mansberger. They fed his
family and COW and pigs for tho last
week. We have got sort OF tired OF this
kind OF grub, and would appreciate q
pheasant, turkey, goose or even nice
chicken or two. Rabbits will not be de-

The new idea to preserve soft PEN

1t tough and durable. 1t has been
found very useful and saving, an ordi-

WHEELING. NOVEMBER 10, 1891.
Mad Clear Through.

During the campaign in Ohio, which
Governor Campbell and the rest OF the
Ohio Democrats insisted was for the
triumph OF the glorious principles OF
Democracy, no eastern Democrat was
observed to enter that state with his
coat off and do what the politicians like
TO call ycoman's service in behalf OF
tho Democratic ticket.
Governor Hill goes on stamping
tours when he feels like a change OF
air, but this year he does not seem to
have thought that tho Ohio atmosphere
would have bracing effect on his phys
ical organism. Mr.. Cleveland gets
about more or less himself and has
earned the proud title of the ready
letter-writer, but he got about none in
Ohio and wrote no letters bringing It'd
ings OF comfort and joy. Now howl
OF rage goes up and is caught in the
political photograph OF the Democratic
New York World. The INTELLlGEScrn
reproduces it for its picturesqueness
and bristling points.
Itappears that the Ohio Democrats
pincd for moral support and financial
aid. Mr.. Cleveland could have fur
nished the Ohio Democracy with some
OF the moral support he gave Tammany,
and still have had enough left for that
smart organization which had arranged
for enough personators and repeaters
to make up for any lack OF moral sup
port.
This is not the worst OF it. The lack
OF financial backing drove the iron into
and clear through the souls OF these
proud Buckeye Democrats. Cleveland,
Hill and German could easily have
turned 100000 into the Ohio treasury,
and they would not. And there were
Brice and Payne-both OF them have
disgraced the Ohio Democracy, accord
ing to this Democratic complaint, each
has 'bar'l' and neither would knock
in head.
1t is sad to hear these things, sadder
still to know that in less than year
these Ohio Democrats will be shouting
Tor one OF the eastern Democrats whom
they are now denouncing for having
left them without moral support and
without enough money to buy Camp
bells election.

West Virginia to the Front

The Chicago Tribune gives q plausible
reason why Michigan was Michigan
ized," why the Democrats did away with
the time-honored and common method
OF choosing presidential electors by the
vote OF the whole state and fixed on n
scheme TO choose the electors by con-
( gressional districts.
1t was because they were afraid Of
West Virginia. They noted that the
Republicans OF West Virginia, by early
rising and close attention to business,
had Whitfield tho Democratic majority
down from $4,000 In 1876 to 500 in 1883.
They were aware, also, that while their
party had seated the governor the Re-
publicans had elected the governor.
They saw that it was possible for the
Republicans to do without New York
and Indiana and elect the President il
they could find five votes elsewhere.
West Virginia has six electoral votes,
and the Democrats took fright. Hence
the Job TO "&lichiganize" Michigan.
Hence, also, the like programme for
Ohio, which failed by about 10000 ma
jority.
What has been done in Michigan by
no means lessons the probability that
West Virginia may slip out OF the Dem.
ocratic column in 1892. Nothing has
occurred in this state to turn back tho
hands.of progress. The state is devel-
oping, and it is developing under the
policy OF protection, which is not the
Democratic policy by jugiul.
Railroads, coal mines, coke ovens,
lumber camps, saw mills, manufacture
ing enterprises big and little, he crea-
lures OF protection, are powerful evan
gelists for the cause OF protection. The
contest in West Virginia in 1892, as
elsewhere, will be square fight be-
tween free trade and protection.

Hard Lines for Democratic Rcformers.

Hard Lines for Democratic Rcformcrs.
All things considered, the Republican
majority OF nearly 10000 in Pennsylva.
mia this year is hardly short OF phenom-
inal. Gov. Pattison and his advisers
must look on Pennsylvania as being the
proverbially ungratcful republic. The
secret OF the big majority seems to be
that the people did not regard Pattison
and his CONDUCTORS as "real rightly" re-
formers.
Hard-sledding is often the fortune OF
reformers OF thor kind, All the same
the Pattison party had good deal OF
amusement behind the scenes when
they thought the people were being
fooled. Now the laugh is in the peanut
gallery and the proscenium boxes and
all over the house.

Physical Culture In Wheeling.


That was rather remarkable gather.

Wheeling Athletic Association. The

out in force, and the ladies were
there taking moro interest than they
would in sewing circle. All tho
world admires the well rounded
physical man.
Decidedly the most interesting events
OF tho evening, ii we may Judge by the
appearance OF things, were tho set-tos
with tho gloves; spirited encounters
they were, though altogether harmless.

Diphtheria and Typhoid Fever

Ihereport ofthe state Board of Health
contains paragraphs relating to diphthe-
ria and typhoid fever, that ought to be
widely read one for the warning it gives
as tOthe contagious character of dipbtbe-
ria, the other because it removes a wide
spread misrepresentation as to the con-
taglousness of typhoid fever. Diph-
therla has been unusually prevalent
both IN the city and country, and as to
this disease the report says: while
the disease is undoubtedly maintained
tostered and intensified by the filthy
conditions which prevail in most of our
small towns, yet the principal reason
OF its widespread existence and long
continuance in neighborhoOds, is to be
found in uninterrupted communica-
ton between the sick, the convalesceut
the inhabitants of infected houses and
the well, and residents of uninfected
houses. When we succeed in impress
ing this into the minds of people and
in inducing them to adopt the precau-
tiOns which it necessitates, we shall
render epidemics of diphtheria as rare
as those of smallpox now are"
The reference to typhoid fever is
entirely different in character, but Onlv
secondary in Importance. The report
says: Typhoid fever, on the contrary.
is not spread by direct contact and
infection. 1t is important that this
fact should be as widely disseminate
ed as the other. In an Investigation
made by the secretary last month, a
hapless individual, who, with several
members of his family, had suffered
from this disease, complained that the
nelghbors were all so afraid that thew
would not come in his house, and he
and his wife found it difficult to obtain
the necessaries of life and. nursing
care. This belief prevails quite widely
and is entirely unfounded. A well
person may nurse a typhoid fever
patient night and day with impunity,
only taking the precautiOn not to eat
or drink in the sick room, and to drink
no unbOiled water"
That some people have a proper
understanding of the contagiousness
of diphtheria and proper regard for
the safety Of others, was we'll illustrat-
ed few weeks ago in this city. A
young boy had taken a book from a
public library, and while he had it at
his home, was attacked with diphthe-
ria. When he recovered his mother
sent to the library a new copy of the
book that had been borrowed, stating
that as her son had the other copy
while suffering from the disease, she
was afraid it might spread agion,
and had, therefore, burned it. This is
the spirit that should actuate every
one having the care of patients suffer-
ing from diphtheria, for when it begins
to rule, epidemics of this disease will
become almost unknown.
