MASON COUNTY WEST VIRGINIA. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER o. 1891
IngaIIs Scored.

A dispatch from Topeka, Kan,
dated October 18th, says: For the
past six weeks the Republican State
Central Committee have been max
ing efforts to persuade John J. In
gals to stump the State in the in
terests of the party, but all to no
purpose. This morning the Topeka
Capital, the official State paper and
Republican organ, which has for
for years supported Senator ingalls,,
after asking the question, "What is
Senator ingalls, doing for the party
that honored him for so many
years." says that he has done moth
ing. The article continues: "That
he is not a leader day is more due
to the supreme egotism and cold
blooded selfshness of the man
than TO his lack of ability, forget
ting the gallant, self-sacriticing
fight of his party that went down to
defeat with him. This supreme
worshipper of himself turned his
back upon the political friends OF a
of a quarter of a century, as
well as upon those who laid aside
their convictions against him and
gave him loyal support. No man
in American history was ever so
greatly honored for the single talent
of sarcastic oratory. He has had
great opportunities and has most
signally failed as leader, politician
and friend. To-day in Kansas the
ex-senator is neither missed nor re-
gretted."
Mr.. Ingalls, has seen the error of
his ways, and will probably join the
Democracy, and do work for the
people hereafter.

That's What People Think, Says Claude
ecinnde Meei<er," the Columbus
correspondent of the Cincinnati
PoN in a special to that paper,
October goth, says:
Tic Democratic State Commit
tee and the politicians in Columbus
arp thoroughly aroused over the
monster demonstration in Cincin-
ned last evening, and the great ova-
ton given Governor Campbell. If
it Significant of the temper of the
pssisie ttszssd they. think 1t isl, they
say Campbell's majority may run
up so high that he Will be record
breaker.
If the meeting is not significant
of Democratic triumph, what does
it mean2 Why did fully 1000 peo-
pie turn out on such a night to rem
der homage 10 cause and to cheer
its representatives, unless as the ell
oquent chairman of the meeting said,
sit means victory?" The Republi-
can morning papers in Cincinnati
reluctantly acknowledged that it
was a magnificent success, and that
the crowds were stupendous. They
resort, however, to a weak make
shift to account for and excuse it in
saying that the crowd came from
the outside.
Everybody knows that not 10
per cent. of the great Music Hall
meeting and the tremendous over
flow were composed of out-of-town
people. The 80 per cent. were Ham
ilton county voters and their turn
out was the more remarkable be-
cause it was spontaneous and vol
untary. There were no organizers,
no paid "drummers up" getting out
the people. They came OF their own
accord. The Democrats in town to-
day from the remote counties are
rejoiced over reports of the great
meeting ana arc going home to tell
their folks that Hamilton county
is united in the cause of honest, tri-
umphant Democracy.

HAS OnT

One of the simplest instincts OF
good manners would seem to be
that man should uncover his head
while eating his dinner with his
family; yet it is pretty certain that
the first gentlemen of England two
centuries ago habitually wore their
hats during that ceremony, nor is it
known just when or why the prac-
tice was changed. In Peyps's lam
ous Diary, which is the best manual
of manners for its period, we read,
under date of September %, 1864:
alone to bed. having got strange
cold in my head by fiinging off my
hat at dinner, and setting with the
wind in my neck" In Lord Claren-
don's essay on the decay of respect
paid to age he says that in his
young days he never kept his hat
on before those older than himself
except at dinner. Lord Clarendon
died in 1914 That the English
members of ParIiment sit with their
hats on during the sessions is well
known, and the same practice pre-
vailed at the early town meetings
in New England. The presence or
absence of the hat is therefore simp-
ly conventionality, and so it is
with thousand practices which
are held, so long as they exist, to be
the most Interchangeable and matter
of course affairs.

Kennn I'M New York.

a Washington telegram says:
Senator Kenna returned from New
York Immediately after the big
meeting which he addressed on
Thursday night. He was so besieg-
cd by callers at the Hoffman House
on Thursday that he did not have
a chance to go out at all. The
Senator was greatly gratified by
the outlook for the Democrats in
New York this fall. He found the
party more united than it has been
in years. All those who were in.
clied to talk or were Indifferent last
year and in 1888, are in line and
the prospect is that Flower will
have one of the biggest majoritie:
ever given Democratic candidate
for governor.

To Sneak for Flower.

The Wheeling Register of October
goth, says: This evening Congress
man John o. Pendleton leaves for
New York City 20 take an active
and important part in the Demo
cratic campaign in New York.
Last evening Mr.. Pendleton re-
ceivcd telegram from Hon. Ros-
we'll P. Flower, the Democratic can
didate for Governor, asking him to
come at once to the Hoffman House,
New York City, on the condition
that he would enter upon campaign
work and speak until election day.
In reply, Mr.. Pendleton telegraphed
that he would be at the Hoffman
House, Wednesday afternoon, and
that he would be prepared to speak
every day until the conclusion Of
the campaign. He will leave this
evening for New York, and he may
be expected to give good account
of himself during the remainder OF
the political fight in that State.

Mr.. Mills says that Governor
Campbell is doing very effective
work on the stump and "has the
faculty of hitting hard and quick
whenever an opportunity is pre-
sented. His style of campaigning
is interesting and catchy, which
takes well with the crowds, who
seem always ready and willing to
hear what he has to say" Mr..
Mills adds that the "reports from
all parts of the State show that
Campbell is growing steadily every
day, and even in Cincinnati the op-
position which threatened him ser.
iously is disappearing in the inter
est of party success"

The Democrats of Nebraska seem
to know where their bountiful crops
come from, for in the preamble to
the resolutions adopted by the State
convention, they return thanks to
God for the gracious seasons and
the rich, full harvests which have
been given them. All the Republi-
can papers of that State are in a
huff and look upon the action of the
Democratic convention in giving
thanks to God as a direct slap al
their insolent pretensions.

Laughing.

A hearty laugh, which is ever in
order, stirs up the physical man
from the center to the circumference,
and tends to improve the whole
physical and spiritual being. 1t
promotes animal health and spirits,
and is to the man what the tides
are to the ocean; it stirs up the slug
gish depths, prevents stagnation,
and keeps the whole system fresh
and wholesome. 1t is what the
Gulf Stream is to the ocean-a vivi-
flying and warming element. The
convulsion produced by hearty
laughter pentrates to the minutest
blood vessel, and causes the blood
to flow with a freshened impulse
Laughter shuts the mouth of malice
and opens the brow of kindness
Whether it discovers the gums Of
infanch or age, the grinders of folly
or pearls of beauty; whether it racks
the sides or deforms the counte
nance of vulgarity, or deep-lines the
visage, or moistens the eye of refine
ment-in all its phases, and on al
faces, comforting, relaxing, over
whelming, convulsing, throwing
the the human form in happy shak
ing and quaking, laugh is a glo
rious thing.

Special Officer John Owens, of

being devoured one time by a large
army of rats in the HazIeton coal
mines. 1t was his custom, at the
the time he was employed by the
company, to broil his beef in the
mines at dinner time. One day al
noon hour, as he was sitting before
large fire broiling his meat, he
was startled to hear the noise made
by running rats. 1t appears that
the odor of the cooking meat per
meated through the mines, which
soon attracted the attention of the
rodents, and they came tripping
along to the fire at a lively rate
