Who Should be the Next Speaker!

The Springfield Mass Republican
known far and wide as one of the
ablest newspapers in the country,
has a strong article on the above SUBJ
ject After mentioning the particu
lar qualification and following with
serious objections to various other
candidates, the Republican says:
"Ihe man best qualified by locali-
ty, by quality both of mind and tenn
per and by conspicuous service in
the "cause," which the Mills men
say must count in selecting a speak
er of the next House is undoubtedly
William L. Wilson, of West Virginia.
He represents the one distinctly 10y
al section of the South, and would
of all the men mentioned be most
free from any objection that might
be by the querulous or fearful, based
upon sectional grounds. He is, more
over, scholar by training, instincts
and habits and has brought into the
field of active politics the higher tone
and wider view and the more unpar-
tisan temper which come of broad
culture and learning. But more than
this he has shown during his service
in the House remarkable adaptable
ity to the practical affairs of that
body and unusual power as debat-
err. In the debates of the last Con-
gress on the tariff and the Reed
speakership policy, the keen wit, in
cisive style and clear grasp of prin-
ciples involved shown by Mr. Wilson
made his speeches more troublesome
to the opposition probably than any
that were delivered from his side of
the House. He also displayed in
these debates, in marked contrast
with some of his colleagues, that
calm and reasonable temper and ju-
dicial quality which are the essen
tial qualifications of the perfect pre-
siding officer. And as tariff re-
former Mr. Wilson is one of the most
active and effective workers in the
field. He is as well qualified as the
best and is by all odds the most
available man the Democrats could
make speaker of the next House"

When to Stop Advertising.

An English trade journal once re-
quested number of its largest adj
vertisers to give their opinion con
corning the best time to stop adver-
Using, and the following replies were
received:
"When population ceases to null
tiply and the generations that crowd
on after you, and never heard of
you, stop coming on.
when you have convinced every
body whose life will touch yours that
you have better goods and lower
prices than they can ever get any
where else"
"Whe you perceive it to be the
rule that men who never advertise
are outstripping their neighbors in
the same line of business"
When men stop making fortunes
right in your very sight solely
through the discreet use of this
mighty agent.
When you can forget the words
of the shrewdest and most success
full business men concerning .he
main cause of their prosperity"
when every man has become so
thoroughly creature of habit that
he will certainly buy this year where
be bought last year !"
''When younger and fresher
houses in your line cease starting
up and using the newspapers in tell
ing the people how much better they
can do for them than you can
When you would rather have your
own way and fail than take advice
and win."
when nobody else thinks it pays
to advertise.

MoRGANTowN, VIRGINIA. SATURDAY,


Rev. Dr. Royal. of Cabell county,
was here some days ago and when
be went home made the following re-
marks about our city in the Hunting
ton 1dcertiser:
reached Morgantown from tour
in Greene county, Pa. AZ 8 o'clock
GU the Both uL Going to the post
office / was agreeahly surprised to
hear my name called and to get n
hearty hand shake from Young Brown
of Guyandotte, son of DIR. Brown. In
the Office Of the New DOMINION / met
Mr.. c. l.. Thompson, and it was a
fortunate meeting for me. He intro
duced me to the editor, Mr.. Elem
ing, who extended an Old Virginia
welcome and treated me with much
courtesy. BY the kindness Of Mr..
Thompson | was introduced to DR.
Turner, president of the University
and to Professors Harvey of Modern
Languages and Brooke Of Law. Dr..
Turner showed us through the var
ious departments Of the University
and made the time very pleasant.
We met Mr.. Koro, Japanese gen
tleman, and also Mr.. Blake, of Cox s
Landing, among the students Nor
gantown is beautiful for situation,
and no doubt will build up as the
University increases in patronage. 1t
has the finest water We ever saw in
hydrants. Send up your council and
let them taste some real water, that
is if they indulge. In the elegant
home of Professor J. l. Harvey, /
met Mrs. Harvey and Mrs. G.. l..
Thompson, and it goes without say
ing that l had delightful time.
Here | saw for the first time, natural
gas used as fuel. The fire place,
even at the back was as spotlessly
white as this paper. The CRATE was
filled with white balls to simulate
coal, and the beautiful flame played
over them and made them a rosy red
that was quite delightful to see.
My day in Morgantown was a SER
les of delightful surprises and only
regretted not to see more of its peo-
pie, who are, if those saw were sam
Piles, among the most courteous and
hospitable of this or any State

Two Great Truths.

No other individual exerts as
great an influence in the world as q
good woman. If the women is any
community resolutely determine to
crush ont any evil or inaugurate
needed reforms they can accomplish
more than all other factors combin-
ed.-Good women serve as preser-
vative power in the moral world and
prevent it from being engulfed in
the maelstrom of destruction.
The man who endeavors to build
himself up by trying to pull others
down will never make an honorable
success OF life. He may gain some
momsntary advantages, but truth
crushed to earth shall rise again,
and what he has gained by deception
and at the exrenseof his fellowman,
will ever be Thorn in the flesh"
This world is field of competition,
and all true, lasting, noble and en-
joyable victories are gained by merit.

Shows a Better Majority as the
Returns Come In.
THE LEGISLATURE WILL PROBA
BLY, BE DEMOCRATIC, THOUGH
STILL A LITTLE DOUBTFUL.
The "World" Says the Legislature is il
the Hands of the Democrats.

New York, November $3.50 A.
M.-An extra World just out says
THE latest returns this morning
show that Mr.. Flowers plurality
over Mr.. Fassett in the State is 40
055.
The whole Democratic ticket is
elected.
Sheehan ran 1886 behind Flower,
although this is not shown in his
plurality over Vrooman. who likewise
ran below Fassett. The vote through
out the State indicates that Fassett
met Folger's fate.
In this city Flowers plurality was
5S,S47, showing Democratic falling
off of more than 10000 from the vote
cast for Hill in 1888.
The Democrats have gained sever
al senators and it looks as if Sheehan
would have the deciding vote. The
Assembly goes Democratic, though
three Republicans claim that they
have it.

THE LEGISLATURE.
The Associated Press Finds the Demo-
Gratis With a Majority.

New YORK, November Returns
received by the Associated Press up
to noon to-day show that the Demo.
Gratis have elected fourteen Senators
and the Republicans fourteen. -Four
districts are still in doubt but the
returns so far received indicate that
the Democrats will carry three of
these and the Republicans one The
Senate will thus have Democratic
majority of two.
The same returns indicate that the
Assembly will stand sixty Re
publicans, sixty four Democrats and
one County Democrat, who was en-
dorsed by the Republicans. OF the
Democratic seats, four are still in
some doubt and of the Republicans

Value of New York Newspapers.

| should say the Times is worth
$2,500,000 The Tribune is worth
that too. Each has lofty building
that represents a large investment
and yields an income almost rivaling
the newspaper profits. Mr.. Dana s
price for the Sun, three years ago,
was $5,000,000. That was when ii
was six page paper, Just recover

only beginning to make room for an
enlargement for an extensive adver-
Using business. l imagine Mr..
Dana's price now would be quite 81

story building is up, perhaps $l0,-
100000.
Mr.. Bennett, it has long been I'M
derstood, values the Herald at $40,
100000, and | suppose Mr.. Pulitzer
would not take less for the World.
Here are FIVE morning newspapers
worth, say, $30,000,000 to $35, 0OO,-
600. The Stats Zeitung should be
in the list too 1t would add, per-
haps, $5,000,000 Altogether the
daily newspapers of New York are
worth more than $40,000,000.
OF course, these figures do not rep
resent capital invested; they stand
for the principal, upon which the
earnings ofthe journals named would
he fair return, and that, certainly,
is what those journals are worth.

Catarrh, Not Local, But Constitutional.

DIR. Dio Lewis, the eminent Boston
physician, in magazine article
says: radical error underies near
ly all medical treatment of catarrh.
1t is not disease of the mans nose
it is disease of the man, showing
itself in the nose-a Local exhibit
ton of Constitutional trouble"
Therefore, he argues, the use of snuff
and other local applications is wrong
and while they seem to give temper
airy relief, they really do more harm
than good. Other leading authori-
ties agree with DR.. Lewis. Hence,
the only proper method Of cure for
catarrh is by taking constitutional
remedy like Hoods Sarsaparilla,
which, reaching every part of. the
body through the blood, does elm
mate all impurities and makes the
whole man healthier. 1t removes
the cause of the trouble and restores
the diseased membrance to proper
condition. That this is the prac-
tical result is proven by thousands
of people who have been cured of
catarrh by taking Hoods Sarsapar-
lila.

His Majority is Safely Estimat.
ed at Over 5000.
THE LEGISLATURE Is IN DOUBT,
But the Democrats are Claiming it and
With as Much business as the Re-
pubIicans-The Vote Comes
In Very Slowly.

Dies MONIES, IA, Novemb Der a, JPN
-Thirty-four counties complete in
Iowa out of total of ninety nine in
the State gives Boies, Democrat, foI
Governor, plurality over Wheeler,
Republican, of 1906. The same
counties in 1889 gave Boies plural
ity of ,275, making a net gain this
year of 1892.
The remaining counties gave
Boies a plurality of 5,24S which
would substantiate the claim of the
Democratic Central Committee this
afternoon that the State would give
Boies a plurality of from 5000 to
10000. This will be sustained by
the returns when all in.
The Republican gains in the
country districts are not always as
large as first indications promise.
Van Houten, Republican candidate
for Lieutenant Governor, however,
is running ahead of his ticket, and
the meagre returns now in on the
minor officials on the ticket encour-
age the Republicans to believe he
may yet win.
The Legislature, is believed, will
be tie in the Senate and Repub
lican majority of four in the House
The Republicans, however, claim q
majority in both houses. The Dem
ocrats have elected the Railroad
Commissioner beyond a doubt.
Chairman Mack, of the Republican
State Committee, comedies Boies
election by 5000 plurality, but
claims the election of the remainder
of the State ticket, except the Rail
road Commissioner, for the Republi-
cans; also, both houses of the Legis-
lature. -
Chairman Fuller, of the Democrat
ic Committee, claims all the State
offices, but comedies the lower house
and says the Senate is il doubt.

A Grafton Mans Loss.

The Wheeling Register of Monday
reports the following:
Yesterday J. W. Morrison, of Graf
ton, complained at police headquar-
tiers that sometime during his occu-
pancy of passenger car on the Bal
timore d Ohio road, between Mounds
vile and this city, or about the time
ne left the train at the depot here, a
satchel containing property to the
amount of over four hundred dollars
was stolen. Mr. Morrison came to
the city accompanied by his wife,
and the satchel, containing among
other things, gold watch, a dia-
mond ring, and a lot of valuable pa
pers, was put in the package rack
over their heads. 1t seems to have
been forgotten until the arrival of
the train in Wheeling, when it was
missing. and it may he that the
satchel was not transferred from the
other car when a change was made
at BenwoOd.

An Election Roundup.

In perusing and reviewing the
results Of Tuesdays elections the
Democrats have every reason to be
thoroughly satisfied We carried
off the lions share by a large major.

ship and affection for Jimmy
Campbell all over Western Penney.
vania, and his defeat is keenly felt
on personal and political grounds
But that aside, it was a big day for
the Democrats in the relation to next
years election. There were four
doubtful States whose vote, it was
accepted, would have bearing in
the presidential election of next
year. These were Massachusetts,
New York, Ohio and Iowa OF the
four we carried three. New York,
which gave Harrison $4,000, gives
Flower 10000; Massachusetts,
which gave Harrison $4,000, gives
Russell 5000; Iowa, which gave
Harrison $4,000, gives Boies proba-
bly, 10000; Ohio, which gave Harrl-
son 10000, gives Mckinley $4,000.
In all these States the battle was
fought on the great issue of next
year-the tariff. The result is that
New York goes firmly to the Demo
cratic column, Massachusetts and
Iowa will be as doubtful next year
as Connecticut and Indiana usually
are in presidential years, while the
Republicans have hold on Ohio
The number of doubtful States has
been increased in favor of the Dem
ocrats.
If the Democrats have carried the
New York and Iowa legislatures
about which reports are conflicting,
with the chances in favor of the
Democrats-the most important re-
suits will be achieved in the way OF
appointments. For 20 years the
Democrats have been cheated in New
York by swindling appointments
If they have both branches of the
legislature, as they have the govern
or, they will do themselves ample
justice.
Tuesdays elections show that
there was natural and inevitable
recession from the tidal wave OF
1890, but that the Democrats still
hold the coign of vantage as to next
years conf1ict.-Pittsburg Post.

RUSSELL SAFE,
But the Remainder of the Massachusetts
Offices Go to Republicans.

BosToN, November At is esti-
mated that in the whole State Russell
has received 156, 900 and Allen ISL
900, leaving the Governor plurality
of about 5000 The vote of Boston
is 36,5l2 for Russell and 22,937
for Allen, which gives the Democrats
a plurality in the city of 1926.
Lieut.. Gov. Halle and the balance
of the Republican State ticket arc
elected by ample pluralities. The
returns for the Legislature are very
incomplete. The Senate will be Re-
publican. The House has complete
returns from III, members, little
more than one half, and these stand
so Republicans to AS Democrats.
