The Democratic Socities.
N. Y. World.


Chairman Brice has sailed away
beyond seas" and left the Demo
cracy to the official guidance of Sen
ator German.
He could not have done better.
Senator German will make no mis-
takes. The timely circular, signed
by Mr.. Brice, and left as his part
ing advice to the Democratic party,
was doubtless the wise suggestion
ofthe Maryland Senator. 1t is now
plain, as the circular recites, that in
the coming contest political clubs
will play an important part. But all
clubs are not alike. Some parade
and shout in uniforms provided by
monopolists' money ;other deliberate,
discuss. inform themselves and
their fellow citizens and represent
the best thought and the best inter
ests of the people.
OF the Democratic societies. sthe
first organization of the Democratic
party" Mr.. Jefferson said: They
are the very nurseries of sound re-
publican principles Their rapid
institution throughout the ranks Of
the Democracy is one of the most
promising signs of these times.
Their history, their name, their alb
solutely Democratic constitution,
make them the fittest of all agencies
for the propagation and defence of
Democratic principles.
There is great Democratic or,
more properly speaking, anti mon
oply majority in the United States,
but it can be made effective only by
uniting its members in appropriate
organization. This is done, or it is
to be done, by the National Associa-
tion of Democratic Clubs, with the
judlcious supervision ofthe National
Democratic Committee in the person
Of Senator German. In such hands
there can be no question of the char
acter of the work nor of the ready
co operation of every sound and
faithful Democrat in the Union.

1t is easy enough, of course, to as
sert that the Treasury is not bank
rupt because it has sufficient credit
to borrow money, but, while it is
hardly worth while to dispute about
terms, bankruptcy is simply condi
ton which is incompatible with the
meeting of pecuniary obligations.
In round numbers the Treasury is
short about 100000. 1t is true that
it has about $20,000,000 in fraction
al currency, but this amount cannot
be used for the payment of large
drafts because it is legal tender for
only very small amounts. Then there
is about 100000 in the National
bank repositories, but this amount
is small working balance for an in
stitution like government controll-
ed by political party that is squan-
dering billion dollars in two years.
Moreover, the Treasury is liable to
be called upon to use all this sum for
the redemption of the notes of the
banks. In other words, it owes it all
to the banks.
Therefore the Government is now
in debt at least 100000 which it
cannot pay. Its income for this
month will be less than it's expendi-
lures. Is not this bankruptcy? The
Earrings received loans which enabled
them to pay their debts, but they
were nevertheless bankrupt.
Of course the Governments credit
is good, and it can borrow at low
rate of interest, but it cannot borrow
at all until Congress meets. If
private business man were in this
position he certainly would be de-
clared insolvent. The Government
is not ruined, simply because its peo-
pie are too rich and patriotic to per-
NIT it to suffer fatally from the wick
ed extravaganza of Billion Dollar
Congress. But for the moment its
Treasury is bankrupt because it has
been looted of every available dollar.

The game of ball between the
heavy weights and feather weights
last week brought out a regular cir
Gus and side show crowd of citizens.
The fattest man in the fat nine tips
the beam at 275 pounds, while the
living skeleton of the Leans puts
bricks in his pockets and holds his
breath to balance the steelyards at
SO. The following gentlemen CON-
posed the mines: Fats-Dr. Court

and Dick Hayes. Manager Grant
desired to catch the calf skin in the
Tibbs Run reservoir and Superin-
tendent Scratford endeavored to run
in al oil tank, but both were ruled
out by the umpire. After Bower
made slide tn second, and sat down
on Dorsey, Prof Whites geological
skill was required to gather up the
remains which were plastered to-
gether by the doctors. AS a back
stop Slime has no equal on the dia
mond, and Dr. Hawthorne in tights
was the admiration and envy Of the
ladies. Taken all in all the exhibit
tion equalled the greatest show on
earth and resulted in score of &c

gers, the health resort advertisers
falling by the way side and hunting
shade after the fifth inning.
Manager Grant dressed ready for
the fray weighed CO., pounds.
AID Bowers was removed from his
bed next morning with derrick.
Duke Hirschman takes a sponge
bath using tincture of arnica twice

GIGANTIC SCHEME.
Six Million Farmers to Strike for
Higher Pay.
And Hold all Their Wheat Till Prices
Go up Above Dollar.

CHICAGO, Ills, July ia morn
ing paper devotes three columns Ia
the publication of what purports to
be secret circular, to be issued to
the farmers of the nation, unfolding
the development of plan to force
up the price of the present crop of
wheat. The paper says it is proposed
to withhold this years wheat crop
from the market until the farmers
can get their own price, or at least a
price considerably over the average
1t suggests great combination of
six million members of farmers, or
CARNATIONS, including 100000
members of the Farmers Alliance
and Industrial Union, 100000
members of the Colored National
Farmers Alliance, 100000 mem.
bers, of the National Farmers AL
lance of the North, 100000 members
of the Farmers Mutual Benefit As
sociation, 100000 members of the
Patrons of Husbandry, 10000 mem
bers of the Patrons of Industry and
10000 members of the Farmers
League. Impressed by the failure
of the Butterworth option bill and
other measures to prevent trading in
futures on farm products, the farm
ers are now, through their official ad-
visers at least, proposing to go on a
strike for higher prices. Legislation
is declared to be too slow and inef-
feetual and as the condition of the
crop and market appear suspicious,
the producers, when organized, may
hope to form a combination that will
result in profit to all agricultnralists.
The circular makes an argument on
the evils of option dealing and tricks
to which the spectators resort in
order to prevent the farmer from
realizing good prices; gives govern
ment estimates that the country will
have la, 100000 bushels of wheat
for export; sets forth the shortage in
the crops in Europe; declares that
there is no chance for failure in an
attempt to realize higher prices;
urges all members of farmers organi-
cations to hold their grain until the
price shall advs nee to $l.35 per
bushel at New York and points out
that by so doing, profits of 100000
600 are sure to accrue to them with
in a few weeks. 1t urges them to
take this stand even at the expense
of being pinched for money for a
time.

What is the matter with making
the present e-ball ground in
South Morgantown a general pleas
ure resort for all classes of amuse-
ment2
If the base bail men and the horse
men would unite they could afford
to surround it with good, high
fence; make good half mile track;
and thus have a convenient and at
tractive resort for all the field games
to which the taste of the people
runs. When menagerie or circus
comes along that would be the
place for them; when competing
base bal teams wanted to meet that
would be the place for them; when
horse fair or cattle show was desir-
ed that would be the place for is;
and to all lovers of fast stock that
would be an ideal place to drive in
the evenings.
All these exhibitions and uses
could be made to contribute to the
cost of the fence and the track and
other expenses.
We are of the opinion that the
owners of that lot could not put it to
more profitable use than that we
have suggested. 1t would bring
them good income on their invest
ment. But if they should decline to
fit up the ground themselves, we do
not see why a stock company could
not be organized to rent it and lay
it out foi pleasure grounds on their
own account.

Chairman Brice, of the National
Democratic Committee, has written
a letter urging the formation. of dem
ocratic clubs and strengthening of
the forces all along the lines. A
democratic club should be formed in
every school district in Monongalia
county, and the questions that will
be up in the next campaign should
be discussed. To secure an over
whelming democratic victory these
questions need only to be understood.
The way to get the best effects from
political club is to get it under
education and training before the &C
tive campaign begins. The way to
conduct an effective campaign of
education is to begin to educate
early. Hon. w. L. Wilson of this
State, has already done a good work
in behalf of club organization in the
Northwest This good work should
be industriously pushed in all parts
of the country.

Principal Sayre, of the Philadel-
phia Manual Training School, bears
strong testimony to the practical
value of industrial education in
greatly increasing the opportunities
for ambitious boys to make living.
1t is no longer the case that boys ed
ucated in the city devote themselves
SO largely to mercantile occupations.
''None of our boys,I might also say"
remarked MrSayre, "take clerkships.
There is always a demand equaling
the supply, and all get positions
where skill of hand and directive
ability are needed. Scarcely week
passes but there is some fresh de-
mand, and there are few Of the boys
who do not get positions. Some go
into machine shops, others are Sc
cured by architects and draughts-
mcu; Others again go with their
fathers in the carpentering or build
ing lines, and some again become
chemists"

There are few critics who seek to
interpret the present dull season as
an end to our boom.
They seem to forget that this sea-
son Of the year is always dull. 1t
has been dull in the past, and must
Of necessity continue to be our dull
season as long as the existing con-
ditions remain.
The agricultural population are
busy with their harvest. The stu
dents whose presence contributes so
much to the life of the town are
absent. The lethargy which more or
less affects every place, not excepting
the large cities, in the warm season, is
having it's wonted effect. And while
business is not as slack, perhaps, as
in some other years at this time,
there is, it is true, a noticeable
change in the activity of business
circles from that which has prevail
ed during the winter, and from that
which existed last summer.
There is nothing to justify the
criticism referred to except the de-
cline in the activity of the oil bust
ness. That does not now engage so
many people, or promote 80 many
sales and the general circulation of
so much capital as it did last Sum
mer, because it has been absorbed
by single company and has settled
down to steady business. The
wells are producing as much oil,
perhaps, and others will be opened,
and the product will probably be in
creased, yet operations in oil as a
general business may be said to be
closed in this country, and hereafter
we will derive nothing more from it
than results from such expenditures
as the Standard Company may see
fiji to make by way of developing
and improving their facilities for
handling the oil product of the
county.
But in all other lines of business
and in all other directions in which
we have.been expecting development
and progress the outlook is just as
encouraging as. last year or any previ-
Gus time.
We have more buildings going up
this year than last, or at any other
one period in our history; the gener-
al volume of business and of capital
is perhaps greater than ever before;
and our people are generally more
prosperous and better fixed.
Moreover the seasons crops were
never better and this will make our
farmers easy, and promote spirit
of liberality and activity that will be
felt in all departments of trade.
There is, in fact, nothing in the
situation to discourage, and our
business men have really more conf
dence and courage than is their
habit. The intelligent observer
does not fail to see under the surface
of the temporary lull in business,
that there are many projects incu-
batting which are bound to keep our
boom booming as they develop, and
that The facilities by water and rail
which we now possess, will certainly
bring more and more Our boom is
gradual and substantial 1t is
healthy and hearty and has come to
stay. There is no reason why it
may not be bigger next Fall than it
has ever been.

Saturday the 4th of July was spent
very pleasantly by all who were
present at the Round Bottom Or
chard, the most popular picnic
grounds on the +. NJ. Il p. r. X.
Sherman Watson, Supt., of the Hoult
Sunday School secured excursion
rates and brought about fifty mem
bers of the school, and in the after
noon No. IL Sunday School, of which
Mr.. Taylor Hess is Supt., joined
them. Short addresses were made
by Rev. 1. G. Rich, Sherman Watson,
DR.. Henry and Taylor Hess. The
choir of both schools rendered some
excellent vocal music. Everybody
present enjoyed themselves and felt
that it was good to be there, and
was sorry when the time came for
them to go home. We think it
would be well to have more pic-nics
of this kind during the summer
months at the Round Bottoms. ~

learning in The states which I~havc
named or course the University
stands far in advance Of any other
institution of learning in the state,
and while some of those | have
named may pot furnish what might
strictly be called collegiate educa-
ton. yet they are good schools, and
deserve the fostering care of the peo-
pie of this state. Whether the Uni
versity does not require too much
work, and too high standard for
graduation. is an open question, but
there can be no question that the
graduates of West Virginia Uniyer-
sity go forth as we'll equipped, in
tellectualiy, for the battles Of life, as
the graduates of the other first class
institutions of learning of our coun-
try, In the matter Of expenses said
University has the decided advan-
tage, in charging no tuition fees to
students from our own State why,
then, do our young men go to other
States to secure an education, when
they have SO much better facilities
offered them hereY'
We'll, great many of them know
nothing about our University, and
60 where their neighbors go. Others
go to other institutions because their
fathers we're educated there Some
go because they desire a superficial
polish, and have neither time nor in
clination to go through the thorough
training required in the University.
In this Of course they make a great
mistake, but it is impossible to con
vince them of their error until it is
too late. West Virginia University
offers to the sons and daughters of
West Virginia as complete an educa-
tion as can be secured in any other
collegiate institution of the country,
and offers it free of any charge for
tuition. Her arms are open to re-
ceive them. She cordially invites
them to come and share the bless
ings which she so generously and
beautifully bestows. She appeals
to the State pride of West Virginia
and bids him worship at the shrine
of his own goddess. Be true to his
own State and her history. and pre-
pare himself himself for active par
ticipation in her prosperity and

Suing for Damages.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, July -Four
suits were instituted to-day against
the Kanawha Il Michigan Railway
Company to recover damages result
ing from the wreck of Saturday.
John III. Ritten, who was appoint
ed administrator of both Mr.. and
Mrs. Walter Welcher, who lost their
lives, has sued for $4,000 in each
case. John L. Stone, who was injur-
ed but will recover, has sued for $20,-
600. Maria L. Henson, another of
the injured, has sued for $4,000
Elk Gov. +. w. Wilson appears as
counsel for plaintiff in all the cases.
Numerous other cases will follow
these, but there is good deal of
doubt about the plaintiffs recovering
much in case they win their suits, as
the road is already mortgaged.
The Criminal Court grand jury
which is in session to day, will in
vestigate the cause of the deaths
Some twenty or more witnesses have
been summoned to appear before
them, but the matter will not to be
taken up for several day
