what of it? AS an intelligent citizen

honor he must of course keep step

The sneers with which the Repub-
cans formerly referred to the Farm
ers' Alliance have given way to bowls
of rage and dislike. But it can't be
helped. The Alliance has sealed the
fate of the Republican party. A re-
cent dispatch from Topeka, Kansas,
gives the relations that exist between
them in that State. 1t says: Zone
of the strongest cards which the Re-
publicans intended to play against
the Alliance in the next campaign
was to appeal to the people to avoid
political organization which has
for it's foundation secret society,
whose meetings are held behind clos
ed doors, which will open to no one
without the mystic raps upon the
guard and the private password
whispered through the wicket. They
intended to denounce the peoples
party as un-American and in the
character of its organization opposed
to the principles on which the gov
eminent is founded. Politics they
would say treated of subjects in
which the whole populacc was inter
ested, and those subjects should be
discussed in places where all may
hear who are interested. This the
new party does not permit Many
of its meetings they intended to say,
were secret and its members warned
against attending public gatherings
of opposing political organizations.
This would have been powerful ar
gument when handled skillfully by
experienced stump speakers, and the
old campaigners were prepared to
use it for all it was worth. The Re-
publicans in the Legislature prac
ticed with it frequently when they
had occasion to allude TO the AL
lance in their partisan speeches.
They were nursing it and building
it up, when the Republican order,
known as the''Knights ofReciprocity''
began to loom up. and it dawned
upon them that the peoples party
had in it dangerous weapon with
which to NEE, them. The Knights
Rofseciprocity now number in Kan.
sa about 10000 voters. They are
all Republicans, and it is an open
secret that their organization was
inspired by the phenomenal success
of the Alliance. They are banded
together to strengthen the Repuhli-
can party. and the organization is
planned after that of the farmers.
1t bids fair To become stronger than
it now is but will never be generally
joined by Republicans. Instead oil
accomplishing the object for which
it was intended-to strengthen the
Republican, l,ariy--it is having u iii
rectly Opposite effect. Many of the
most prominent Republicans in the
State are opposed to it. They de
nouncc it in unmensured terms and
disclaim all responsibility for its ex
istance,"

Railroad Notes.

The Twenty Mile railroad in Nicholas
county is an established fact. Men were
appointed, this week TO assess the dam
ages through the farms of those who
had refused to grant the right Of way.
Work on the Ohio River railroad
bridge over the Guyandotte river is be-
ing pushed as rapidly as possible. The
pile driving in the bed Of the river will
soon be completed and the laying Of
stone for the piers commenced.
The track has been laid up to Mays
Mill, on the Norfolk and Western. No
work was done on the main line, at the
front, last week, the work being de-
layed by the bridges. After four more
crossings are made the track squad will
spin along at lively rate.
No B. & o. S. w. engines cross the
Parkersburg bridge now. The order
promulgated some time ago prohibiting
the large freight engines of that line
from crossing the bridge, now includes
all B. & o. S. W. engines since Belpre
has been made the end of the division.
B. & o. engines transfer the freight to
this side.
The B. & o. r. R. Company has is
sued an order notifying its employees
between Brunswick and Martinsburg
that the work train which runs to and
fro between the two places daily, bring
ing them to work and taking them
home, will soon be discontinued, and
that they must either rent or buy a
house at Brunswick as soon as possible.

MIR. G. W. sawyer,s Work.

The peoples service at Evangelistic
Hall last night was full OF inter-
est to all concerned in the moral
welfare OF our city. The novelty OF this
effort has long since worn away and the
fact that much good has been and can
be accomplished is conceded by all fair
minded people, goodly number of men
hitherto unreached by any moral or re-
ligious restraint have by the influence
of these continued meetings been lifted
up and are now leading hon
est, industrious and sober lives. Truly
the foundation has been well laid for a
great and good work. The success of the
past decidedly warrants the continuance
OF this practical labor in our midst. 1t is
more than probable that before long a
better and more spacious building will be
provided where the work can be carried
on with greatly increased facilities.
The most influential men in the city
are encouraging this movement and a
great harvest of good will evidently be
secured this coming season. Last
night DR.. Hattie y. Jones and a corps
of good singers assisted.

AParticularIy Sad Death.

The funeral of Miss Annie L. Harvey
will take place this afternoon from the
residence of her parents on North Front
street. The untimely taking off Of this
most estimable young lady, afforded
striking instance of strong endearment
to the com munity. Throughout all her
long sickness she bore her sufferings
with fortitude, being calm, resigned
to the inevitable, and cheerful
to the last. During her
illness she seemed always in good
spirits, which was a source of consola-
ton to her parents. She was particu-
larly bright and vivacious in health,
and favorite among many. Miss Har-
vey was a young lady Of exemplary
Christian character, worthy the emula-
ton of all, and her death will be keenly
felt by wide circle of friends.
