The Testimony of Time.

The people Of these United States this
year celebrate the one hundred and six
tieth anniversary of George Washing
toms birth. Every intelligent and pat
riotic citizen will recall with pride the
influence Of his triumphs in war, his ac-
accomplishments as the first President of
fthe Republic, his superb character as a
anan.
HEse visible results OF the policy in
augurated under his executive approval
ere marvellous. Thirteen States formed
his confederacy, all Of them purely agri-
cultural. Since the Continental regime
they have become the foremost region
Of the world In the variety and volume
pf their manufactures through the unex-
Ampled fertility of inventive genius.
He stands the noblest leader who was
ever intrusted with his country's life.
His patience under provocation; his
ealuness IN danger, and lofty courage
when all others despaired; his prudent
delays when the Continental Congress
was Imperative and the staff almost in
subordinate, and his quick resistless
blows when action was possible; his
nagnanimity to his defamers and gen.
crosby to his foes; his ambition for his
country and unselfishness for himself;
his sole desire the freedom and indie
pendence Of America, and his only wish
to return after victory to private life and
the peaceful pursuits and pleasures Of
home, have all combined to make him,
by the unanimous judgment Of the
world, the foremost figure Of his
tory. Not SO abnormally developed in
any direction as to be called genius,
yet he was the strongest, because the
best balanced, the fullest rounded, the
most even, and most self-masterful of
men-the incarnation of common sense
and moral purity, of action and repose.
The Republic will live so long as it
reveres the memory and emulates the
virtues Of George Washington.

ELECTION LAWS.
Democrats Have a Number of
Proposed Changes.
Election by the Direct Vote of
the People

Seems to BE the One Great Change Which
is Most Favored-shaII the President's
Term he Made Six Years. with No Sec
ond Term e-Some of the Alterations
Proposed by Democratic Members.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The house
committee ON the election of president
and vice president held a meeting Fri
day and considered measures introduced
at this session by Representatives
Breckenridge, of Kentucky, and Cox of
Tennessee, repeating the statutes pro-
viding for the employment of marshals
and deputies at elections. They were
referred to a subcommittee consisting of
Messrs. De Almond, Cox and johnson.
Mr.. Beltzhoover's resolution providing
that the term of the president shall be
for six years, and that he shall be in
eligible for reelection, was referred
to a subcommittee consisting of Messrs.
Crane. Cant and johnson. A meeting
to consider this measure will soon be
held.
Representative Springer appeared be-
fore the committee and advocated his
resolution providing that the people
shall vote directly for president and
vice president, and that the governor,
secretary of state and chief Justice of
the highest appellate court in the state
are to constitute board to canvass the
vote for president and vice president,
dividing the votes among the several
candidates in proportion to the number
of votes cast for each. Colonel Nc
Clure, of the Philadelphia Times, also
appeared and advocated Mr.. Springer's
resolution.
Nha
committee is that introduced by Mr..
De Almond, of Missouri, which was the
outcome of several measures of this
character. 1t provides for the election
of president and vice PRESIDENT by direct
vote of the people, and that the states
shall have the same number of votes as
now provided by law, and the electoral
vote distributed among the persons voted
for in the state at large as president and
vice president, respectively, in pro
portion to the number of votes cast
for each. 1t is also provided that if
two or more candidates have the same
number of electoral votes the one hav.
ing the highest number of popular votes
shall be president or vice president, as
the case may be. In the event of the
houses of congress falling to agree on
the result of the election according to
the certificates from the various state
officers. the house of representatives
shall determine who shall be president
and the senate who shall be vice presi-
dent. If there is no choice because two
or more have the same number of elect
oral votes and popular votes, the
choice shall be determined by the
house as to the presidency and the
senate as to thevice presidency. While
the resolution does not provide that a
president may serve two terms, it con.
talns proviso that no person, while
serving as president, shall be eligible to
election to that office. If this amend
ment were in force it would not operate
against Mr.. Cleveland serving a second
term, as he was not president when
elected in November last.

DECEMBER ID, 1892.
The Extra Session Onestion.


If there is no extra session the
new tariff cannot go into effect be-
fore September or October, 1894.
On the eve of a Congressional cleo
ton it would certainly be misrepre-
sented, and Misrepresentation might
be the means of defeating the
Democracy in that year.
But if there is an extra session in
March for organization, the work OF
preparing tariff bill can be begun
at once by the Ways and Means
Committee, and carried on deliber-
ately during the summer, with the
advice of such men as Carlisle and
Mills in the Senate and other Demo
! cratic statesmen and business men
whose counsel is of value.
Upon the meeting of Congress
again in the fall the work of the
session so for as this most important
measure is concerned, would be
fully laid out. The tariff bill could
be passed early in 1894, and go
into effect in the spring OF early
summer, thus giving time for its
benefits to appear before the people
shall be called upon to judge of its
wisdom.
An extra session will hasten the
work without hurrying it. 1t will
secure ample deliberation. 1t will
prove Democratic good faith and
commend the Democracy anew to
popular favor. 1t will bring relief
to the people many months sooner
than would otherwise be possible.
1t will give TO business of every
kind the notice it needs of the
changes to be made in business con-
ditions.-N Y. World.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, Dec. 1o.-About
seventy-five cases of restitution result
ing from the late strike, have, been re-
ported to the relief committee, and a
severe spell of wintry weather win see
this number largely increased.
The merchants are carrying quite a
number of those who have been re-
fused work at the mill ON their books,
and they say they will have to draw
the line some time, and it is, only a
question as to how soon.
When they tell these people they can
not longer carry them On. their hooks.
then will the suffering actually sbegin,
and it will certainly require good deal
of outside assistance to help tide these
people over until ther get work.
Contributions are coming in. but not
as fast as the relief committeewopld like
to see them. 1t has been decided not to
issue call for aid for a few days at
least.

Take ii TO the LegisIature.

The following article on roads
from the Ne,o Dominion is so appro-
pirate to Mason county, that we re-
produce it, in the hope that it will
stir our people up to the work of
getting better roads:
"Some States have uniform road
law applicable to all their counties.
And when they have such a law
there are the necessary provisions in
it, the effect of which is to have the
main highways built in substantial
fashion. West Virginia needs some
such law. There is not a single
county in the State that can boast
of good roads. Not one.
The Legislature will haye plenty
of business at the session this winter
any amount Of business-but its
members would do we'll to make a
much needed reform in our road
laws. Let us have law that will
insure better roads. Right here in
Monongolia, where good roads
would make so much valuable land
easy of access and enhance the price,
we do not need good roads more
than our neighboring counties do.
Our roads are awful. Theirs are
terrible. We are all in the same
boat on this road business.
"Our roads are never improved.
There is no work done on them that
makes them a whit better in the
chilly days now approaching. They
could be made better. They never
will be made better, though, till
there is law which provides for
such work as shall be beneficial.
Let the Legislature take hold of
this. For the most part the states
men who warm seats at Charleston
are from the country districts.
ParadoxicaI indeed would it then
be if they did not favor the passage
'ofasmeasure such as is herein in
Dictated.
ave call on the press of the State
to appeal to the members through
their columns for state road law
q road law that would insure better
roads. This is not the poor State it
was in times when the goddess of
finance frowned upon us. Now she
smiles. We have money now.
Why not have good roads which
would make our people more
money!"

The Chicago Herald says: "The
Democratic party cannot afford to
postpone till October, 1894, the is
sue on which the people are to vote
in November, 1894. There is no
plan of enlightened discussion, no
campaign of education, no possible
presentation of the great issues of
1894 that safely can be left to the
thoughts and judgments of the
people for their determination after
considering the case but a few
weeks. The Democratic party
should take counsel from the dis
astrous experience of the Repub-
lican party under precisely the same
circumstances"

Tyson Institute.

A number of gentlemen in this
place have organized a Tyson Cure
Institute, of which r. S. Bickel, is
President, Chas. F. Jamison, Secre-
tary, and DIR. G. W. Jamison, Medi-
cal Director. The Institute is loca-
ted in the Kline House. The ques-
ton of the reform of drunkards by
treatment has attracted the attent-
ion of medical science, and now it
is to be put to a practical test in
our own community. The DR.. Ty-
son cure has been thoroughly test
ed in many places in the country
and has never yet failed of a cure
in any case where the patient had
obeyed instructions. There is not
a man or woman in this region of
country who become slaves to alco-
hol, opium and tobacco, but what
would give all they possess to be-
come free. Confidence in cure is
what these people need, and the
way TO gain that confidence, is to
make the trial by putting yourself
under treatment in this home Insti-
tute. DIR. Tyson, the owner of the
cure offers one hundred dollars for
any case that is not absolutely Gu
red. An opportunity is now offer
ed some charitably disposed person
to select some poor drunkard as a
patient and put him under this
treatment, making a test case and
paying all expenses.

to the Worlds Fair, and the matter
has probably been discussed as
much in other places as here, and the
railroads come in for no share of

great deal to do with its success,
and therefore the people may de-
pend on it that the Fair managers
