Attractions to BE Offered VIII Excel All
Previous Efforts.
The attention of our readers is
called to the advertisement of the
West Virginia Exposition and State
Fair, which is contained in this is
sue. This institution has already
proven of great benefit to this sec
ton; has been instrumental in bring.
ing in our midst superior class of
live stock, and advancing the inter
ests of our farmers and public gen.
orally, and creating the opportunity
to witness the results of the genius
and progress of our inventive peo-
pie.
The exhibits this year will by far
exceed any previous ones, great in
terest being manifested by breeders
of live stock in all parts of the coun-
try.
A special effort will be made in
the exposition department to ar
range for an interesting and enter
tanning exhibit, and something fine
can be expected. The machinery
and implement department will be
magnificent indeed, and as this is
the age of progress nothing stands
still, and with this in view the
management has fully kept pace
with the general move, and has
spared no expense to make her 1891
fair even superior to her past SPLEEN
did efforts. The attractions this
year; will by far excel those of for
mer years; there will be fourteen
great trotting, pacing and running
races. The increased premiums Of
fered will be certain to bring forward
large collection of the most cele-
brated flyers of the United States
and Canada.
On Tuesday, September 8, at p.
M, the second day of the fair, the
world renowned Jewell Bros, who
have been engaged at great expense
will make grand balloon ascension
and parachute jump. They have
never made failure and will make
the leap when at distance ofabou,
one mile from the earth.
The management have certainly
displayed great enterprise and ener.
gy, they having met with another
severe loss by the past great flood o.

create demand for the wool they
raise, and consequently afford them
a higher prico for their product.
No man ever made more solemn
pledge than did Mr.. Mckinley. He
was honest, too, when he made il.
and believed what he said; but he
was mistaken. 1t turns out that
the farmer must needs pay higher
price for all his utensils and for his
household goods, while the price of
his wool has dropped. Heis, there
fore, greatly embarrassed and finds
it hard to make both ends meet.
So the campaign of education
is progressing. The pocket of the
nation is touched, and this is some
times more effectual than touching
peoples consciences. Mr.. McKin-
ley may be elected Governor of
Ohio, but he has the hardest job ON
hand he ever undertook. Whether
elected or not, the whole country
is thinking seriously on this subject
of heavy taxes, and by next year we
may hope for some very interesting
development-N. Y. Herald.

Kentucky,s Election.

The State election in Kentucky
on the 3rd, inst, passed of quietly
and tie new constitution was ratii-
ed by very large majority estmat-
cd at from $4,000 to 100000. The
entire Democratic State ticket is
elected, with John Young Brown as
Governor, by majorities ranging
from 10000 to 10000. The farmers
have practically secured the control
of the Legislature and will place
their Interpretation upon the new
constitution, including the anti trust
anti-corporation and railroad COM
mission features of the instrument.
The farmers declined to go into the
third party but acted in the main
with the democrats, not putting up
their own candidates, generally, but
debating the Democratic nomina-
tons in many counties. The re-
suit is that the new Legislature will
stand about as follows: Farmers
and Farmer Democrats 73, straight
Democrats 80, Republicans15. The
Peoples party polled about 10000
votes coming mainly from the Re-
publican party, and the cities. The
Prohibition party had a full ticket
in the field but polled a very light
vote.

Wages and Duties.

Every wage-earner in the coun-
try ought to read Mr.. Horace G..
wadlin's latest report of the Massa-
chusetts Bureau of Statistics and
Labor. 1t is complete answer to
the great army of Protectionists who
insist that the cost off labor is the
chief cost of the products of our
manufactures, and that the tariff
taxes are levied for the benefit of
the wage. Garner.
This report shows that the wages
of unprotected labor in Massachu-
sets constitute &c per cent. of the
cost of production, and the cost of
protected materials 6S per cent.
Probably if materials were made
free and, therefore, their cost was
reduced, the employer would give
more to his wOrkingmen.
Wages constitute % per cent. of
the price. and material 81 per cent,
and yet the average rate of duty
under the Mckinley tariff is 60
per cent, and most of that tax is
added to the price of the domestic
article. In order to be eminently
fair, let us assume that so per cent.
is added to the price. 1t is owl
dent that the workingman is far
from receiving the benefit of the
tariff imposed by the Mckinley
Act, and that the allegation that
it was passed for the sole profit of
the American workingman is shown
to be false.-AdUertiSer.

Private Dalzell broke loose in ter
rible shape last week, and wrote,
aproposGof the Republican fight in
Cincinnati, as follows to the Post:
GAS we came down from the army
we were promised our full share of
offices, and for little time the
promise was faithfully observed,
and is our own fault that it was
ever broken; for the first time the
compact was broken, and the SOL
diers were discarded TO make room
for bummers, bloats, bloodsuckers.
boodlers and bosses, we should have
kicked out of the traces, smashed
the machine, and taught the scoun-
drels that we held the balance of
power in every county of Ohio, and
must have our fair share of all
offices, State and Federal, and, fail
ing there, down goes the party, no
odds which, that opposes our claims.
We made this country; we saved
its life at the risk of our own; and
shall we bow our necks like dumb,
driven cattle to be yoked and driven
by men who never lifted a finger
for the flag?
We own this country yet old as
we are. The Republicans cannot
elect one Supervisor of Roads or
one Township Trustee from Bangor
to San Francisco without our votes.
We hold the balance of power.
We say to one ego" and he goeth
to the devill We are simply
omnipotent. One hundred and
seven thousand Ohio voters were
Union soldiers, and they and their
sons will cast 200,0 900 votes this fall.
If we are not here for the offices
and the G. A. r. in Gods name
what are we here for? All.the rest
is but empty wind. Every county
in the North will emulate your
example.
L long to see my county do so.
Where would heir finances have
been but for your loyal muskets and
brave hearts? Who made this
money? AS l have always said the
soldiers did it; the soldiers did it all.
We do not ask q fair share of the
offices; we beg nothing-we are no
beggars. Wewill simply take them,
no thanks to anybody, for they are
ours!

Oil was struck at a depth of $50
feet, and with a weeks pumping

having been made to plug it off.
The oil is of a splendid quality of

There seems to be set deter
mination upon the part of the re-
publican management to make their
campaign next year upon the tariff
and federal election bill. The de-
mociacy has already made the tariff
a paramount issue and could not be
made happier than by having the
republicans add the force bill issue
to their already weakened position.

Those who are enriched by the
special favor of high tariff laws
mako it point to go abroad TO do
their shopping where bargains can

article and pay more for it. Down

cides that tin plate manufacturing

1t was never intended by the
fathers who gave us the constitution
under which we have lived and
prospered for more than a century
that classes should be established
in this country. Nor should laws
in the name of the constitution be
enacted which creates a class arts
tocracy at the expense of the rest of
the people and serves as a means of
their oppression. The paternalism
as advocated by the republican par
ty and put into practice by class
legislation as seen in their high
tariff laws does more than this and
effects n thousand incident evils to
the detriment of the great body OF
the people.

Don,t Man,t Proteetion.


The Pittsburg Post says that the
Midvale steel works near Philadel-
phia are among the greatest estab-
lishments of the kind in the world.
They have large contract from the
government for heavy cannon and
ordnance and have just booked a
large order for locomotives from
Japan, being the first order of the
kind from that country ever placed
in the United States. In a circular
just issued the proprietors of these
works say:
We are especially proud of this
order, as it was taken in spite of the
most determined opposition of the
English and German manufacturers
and in spite of the fact of our being
handicapped by the present high
duties on raw material The Mid
vale tire is winning name for it
selfin South Africa, Australia, Cuba,
Mexico, Chill, Peru and other for
tign countries; and we believe when
the Ubiquitous tax on raw materials
has been removed, and we are placed
on an even footing with the manu-
facturers of Europe, that it will be
as we'll and favorably known on the
railroads of foreign countries as it
is on those of the United States.
With fair field and free access to
the raw material markets we will
be prepared to compete for the tire
business of the world and we ask
no favors.

Farmers should now be studying
the tariff question.
They ought to get the Mckinley
bill and read it carefully. See the
tariff on potatoes, for instance, and
see how the tariff helps them along.
By trying to fit its benefits into
the price they get for their products
they will see, even if they are blind,
just what fraud the whole thing
is.
When they haven't anything to
sell the price is higher, and the
yawpers tell them it is the McKin-
ley bill that makes prices big.
Half the fool farmers believe it.
When they have a big crop the price
goes down TO nothing almost, and
the Mckinley bill disappears from
controversy.
Study the tariff law and see how
it don't help the farmer, and kick
the life out of it.-SentiRei.

ARBITRATION.
A Flat Failure in the Case of
Contractor Fletcher.

The trustees of the California Academy
of Science and Contractor w. NJ. Fletcher,
who furnished labor and material for
the academy's new building on Market
street, have done something toward estab-
fishing the fact that arbitration does not
always arbltrate.
When the building was finished there was
a dispute between the trustees and Fletcher
as to the amount due the latter on account
of certain alterations made in the plans for
theme building by the authority of the
trustees. 1t was agreed to submit the mat
ter to arbitration, and Seth BabsOn, j. b.
La Roma and j. b. G0nyeau were chosen
arbitrators.
They filed on April 23i their report, in
which they found that $74j3 so was due the
contractor. On May 7th the trustees of the
academy received the report of the arblLra-
tors and held meeting at which the res0lu-
ton submitting the matter in dispute be-
tween them and Fletcher was revoked on
the ground that the arbitratOrs had not
called upon them to testify at she lnvestlGa-
ton and because it was specifically agreed
upon between them and Fletcher that the
committees report should be given TO either
side on or before May 1st.
Fletcher received due notice of the acad-
emy'S action and had the decision of the ar
bitratorS recorded on the book of Judgment
of the Superior Court and execution issued
on May 10th against the academy. The
trustees responded to this movement by
petitioning the Superior Court for writ of
mandate restraining Fletcher and the
Sheriff from taking any further action
against them.
Judge Wallace heard the petition and
granted restraining order returnable n

SUMNER STUDY.

What Is to BE Done In the Summer
School at Chautauqua.
During the past few years the distinctively
educational departments of the summer at
Chautauqua have become more and more
important. The work outlined for this sum-
mer in the College of Liberal Arts and the
Schools of Sacred Literature is far in adj
vance Of anything that has been proposed
at any time previous. More and better
work is offered in every department. Sew
eral new professors have been engaged and
several new courses have been arranged.
The list of instructors includes the names
of Herbert b. Adams aud Richard L. Ely
of Johns Hopkins University, William X.
Harper and Thomas ID. Seymour of Yale
University, William Henry Green of Prince
ton, Martin l.. d H0ga of the University of
Michigan, George 5. Burroughs of Amherst
Bishop John ii. Vincent aud DR.. Jesse l..
Hurlbut. Although Professor Harper has
accepted his call to the new university of
Chicago he will still continue In charge of
the summer schools at Chautauqua
1t is intended to make the work of this
summer thorough and scientific throughout.
About half the courses are arranged for ten
hours recitation each week and the rest TOR
five hours; some classes meet twice day
and others once. The purpose Is that as
much shall be accomplished in six weeks
session at Chautauqua as is usually accom-
pliShed In one subject during a college
term. This is to be done by concentrated
study, no student being expected to take
more than one or two courses. The work
in the college includes the English language
and literature, German, French, preparatory
anu college Latin, preparatory and college
Creek. physics and chemistry, mathematics,
history, political economy, geology, etc. La
the Schools of Sacred Literature instruction
Will be given in the Bible in English. He

THE HALCY0N'S OPIUM.

1t Has Been Twice Transferred In North
ern Waters.
AThe maneuvers of the yacht Halcycn to
discharge her cargo Of opium, said to be
valued at 100000, are attracting great at
tenti0n on the part of the Government.
The rumor at first was that that vessel had
been spoken in'Hawaiian waters; then that
she had been sigh led off the coast of Van
cOuveT.
The latter rumor has proved the correct
one. 1t has been learned that the Haleyon,
while in Barclay Sound. on the north side
of Vancouver Island, discharged her cargo
aboard steamship, and that the latter is
known to have transferred 1t again into a
schooner having lumber as freight The
transfer from the steamship was made while
in Puget Sound.
What has become Of the schooner and
her cargo is not known, at least, not stated
by the Custom-hOuse officials. They are
watching closely every port on the coast,
as the duty on the opium amounts to 81, 2O0,-
600. Every vessel from the north will be
closely inspected.
