a train at Huntington accompanied
BY a family named Jarrel from
Wayne county. The psrty stopped
at hotel and it was soon learned
that the four men were Mormon ell
ders and were on their way to Utah
with converts. The Jarrel family
had all become converts to the Nor
mon faith except Mildred. the oldest
daughter and she wcpt bitterly at
the thought of leaving, but her father
and mother were obdurate and sharp
~ told her she must go along. Soon
after five other men landed in Hunt
ington who were not on their way to
Utah. One of the five was man
named A. l.. Griffith who was Mil.
dred's lover The father and mother
refused to allow him to see his girl

officer they met and decided to be
married at once. The parents refus
ing their consent the young couple
went to Ohio and were married. On
the following day the Mormon crowd
was joined by 81 other persons from
Kanawha and Boone counties and
the whole collection of dupes went
ON their way rejoicing to Utah.

We understand that Prof. L. E.
Hodges is a candidate for the NOM
nation fer the office of Superintend-
ent of Free Schools. The Professor
has as yet made no formal announce
ment of his candidacy, but we believe
it is fact Professor Hodges would
be strong candidate if nominated
Besides being one of our most popu-
lar citizens, he is by reason of the
magnificent record made by him in
educational affairs very we'll known
and equally popular throughout the
entire State. Among the principals
Of our Normal schools he ranks sec
ond to none, and his devotion to the
cause of education makes him the
most suitable candidate we have yet
heard mentioned for the office for
which he aspires. We think we voice
the opinion of our entire community
when we express the hope that that
the Professor will ''get there" Hun
tinqton Adcertiser.
y Prof. Hodges is about as well
known in Morgantown as he is in
Huntington and the sentiment in his
favor here is about as strong as it is
there. Many people here think be
is the very man for that distinguish
ed place.

The Speakership contest was
ended on Monday night by the cleo
ton Of Hon. Charles F. Crisp, of
Georgia. While the contest was
spirited there is a minimum of i'll
feeling and all are satisfied with the
result. There is probably no other
man in the house who is better
fitted to discharge the duties of this
important position than Mr.. Crisp
In ready information, GOODNESS and
ability he ranks with any of the
gentlemen who were his competitors
He is probably cooler and more de-
liberate than Mr.. Mills. In the past
he has always followed where Mr..
Mills led. The latter gentleman
will do doubt become the leader of
his party on the floor.

A visit TO the State Reform School
at Pruntytown will convience any
one that the State Of West Virginia
has not undertaken a more noble or
commendable work of caring for it's
unfortunates of any class This in
stitution was established only lit
tie more than year ago, on a very
small appropriation, considering the
magnitude of the work before such
an institution and already there are
most excellent results to be seen
from what has been accomplished
so far. The institution now has in
its keeping sixty eight boys that are
being educated and trained for use
full lives and good citizenship. These
boys are in most part bright and in
telligent in appearance, with little
else to be laid to their charge than
that they were either homeless or
left without proper home training or
parental restraint, and would, if left
thus to battle with the world, doubt
less have grown up into vicious lives
to be cared for in later years by the
State in some of its institutions for
the punishment of crime. At the
Reform School these boys are being
trained in studious habits, under
proper restraints, educated and dis
ciplined for useful lives and with a
prospect of becoming ornaments
rather than disgrace to society.
We hope our law makers will appre-
ciate the great possible good to the
state in the institution now located
at Pruntytown and adopt towards it
such a spirit Of liberality as will
provide for it every necessary con
venicnce for its highest possible
success. - Grafton Sentinel.

A reader writes that be has re-
Gently joined the Democratic party,
and he wants to know If Mr.. Cieve-
land owns it.
As the question seems to be asked
in good faith, it is entitled to a can
did answer.
No. Mr.. Cleveland does not own
the Democratic party, nor is the Dem
ocratic party in anywise dependent
on Mr.. Cleveland. As long as he oc-
cupies position of usefulness and
influence in it, it will be through ser
wing it. The idea that he or any other
man is Man of Destiny" is none
sense. Mr.. Cleveland's promotion
through the Democratic parry was
not due to his DESTINY" but to his
service to Democratic principles. The
Democratic party makes its leaders.
Its leaders do not make the Demo-
cratic party. There are thousands
of men In the Democratic party able
enough, honest enough, trustworthy
enough to fill acceptably any place
it can give them from that of Sheriff
to that of President. Mr. Cleveland
is one of them, and that is all he is
or that he ever has been. Whatever
SUCCESSIVE has achieved in politics
has been the success of the Demo
cratic party, not his own. The Demo
cratic party no more owes him thanks
for its successes than il owes him
execration for its failures. Where it
owes him gratitude, it is only for such
service as every Democrat who is not
a self-seeker and hypocrite owes to
Democracy.
Such service Mr.. Cleveland has
rendered, and because of it he has
enjoyed the confidence Of his party.
But it does not depend on him for
anything whatever. If the time ever
comes when it is dependent on any
one man; when it cannot take man
from its ranks, as it took him, and
make him leader as it made Mr..
Cleveland, it will no longer be the
Democratic party. That time GER
tainly has not come. 1t will not come
in 1892.
This does not mean that the party
may not nominate Mr.. Cleveland in
1892. 1t means only that it is under
no necessity whatever of doing it.
Nor does it mean that it may not be
desirable To nominate him. He is an
earnest, honest and capable man, a
very strong and effective fighter in
any cause in which his sympathies
are enlisted, and if the Democratic
party needs him next year it will say
so in its National Convention. But
it is no more dependent on him than
it is on Boies, or Palmer, or Voor-
hees, or Gray, or Carlisle, or Mills,
or any one of the hundreds of Demo
Gratis who have done yeoman's SER
vice for Democracy in the ranks or
in front Of them.-St Louis Repu5-

The Duty of Congress.

The great Democratic majority in
the new House of Representative
was elected on the issue of tariff re-
form.
The people have sent these man
to Congress to make laws for the
peoples relief.
If the people had had a chance
when this Congress was chosen they
would have created a Democratic
Senate and Democratic Executive.
1t would have been the duty of the
Democratic House to frame and pass
a general bill, carefully considered in
all its parts, for the reform and re-
construction of our tariff laws upon
just principles and in accordance
with the requirements of the public
welfare. Such a bill, in such case,
could have been made law.
But the people had no chance to
do this. The Senate remains Repuh-
lican by virtue of its deliberate
packing, and Republican President
has the veto power. No general
tariff bill framed to fit broad concep-
lions of tariff reform is likely to be-
come law while these conditions,
exist.
But the fact does not relieve the
Democratic House of Representatives
of this duty. 1t was elected to give
to the people the fullest measure of
relief that's possible under existing
conditions. It's imperative duty is
to do this in the most practical and
practicable way it can devise, and
not merely to frame ideal bills which
are certain Of defeat in the Senate.
1t may wisely, perhaps, frame and
pass a general bill as declaration
and protest. but it should also do
something for the actual relief OF the
people.
The practical way under The cir
cumstances is the detailed way.
Congress should pass u bill to put
binding tsine on the free list. with
no encumbering provision. The
Senate would not venture to defeat
that, though it would pretty certain
ly defeat comprehensive tariff-re-
form bill of Democratic construction
including that provision. 1t should
pass another bill making the raw
material of iron manufacture free;
another doing the same, or some
thing like it, for the woollen- cloth
makers; another repeating those ex-
ira duties on woollen cloths which
were imposed avowedly as compen-
sation to the manufacturers for the
duty on raw materials; and perhaps
some others.
If bills of this kind are passed by
the House the Senate will pretty
certainly accept them. The Re
publican majority there is small ard
is difficult to hold together for high
protection even when a comprehen-
sive bill is under consideration. 1t
could not be held together in oppo-
sition to measures of relief like
these, involving the vital interests of
tho Northwestern farmers in the
one case, of New England manufac-
turers and their workmen in another
and of the great mass of the people
in others.
The Senate would almost certainly
pass such bills and the President
would sign them To do otherwise
would be to invite defeat in next
years election, with the certainty
that the invitation would be accept
ed
Is it not the perfectly clear duty
OF the House Of Representatives, this
whatever it may do in the
matter Of a general hill--to seek in
practical ways the accomplishment
Of the purposes for wbieh il was
elected? Is not that also The wisest
political policy?--N. Y. Woyld.
