Creed, party, nor political affilia-
ton cheek not the patriotic, loyal
impulse Of every American citizen at
the undignified though fondly loved
and popular cognomen of "Uncle
Sam" for our country. To mention
"Uncle Sam" brings to our minds
eye the benevolent features of the
imaginary parsonage used to typify
the old time simplicity Of the charac-
teristic American. He is beloved.
Down in the lower part Of this state
there is another Uncle Sam. BY the
people down in his section, by which
we endeavor to embrace a dozen or
more counties, this particular Uncle
Sam is looked upon, regarded and
revered as the wisest. best and great
est man on earth. The rustic but
honest folk of the mountains, and Of
the towns and of the cities, will fol-
low his lead in all things-for he has
proved himself by life of fair deal
ing and upright principles and
christian character to be above re-
proach or scorn. The people love him
as they love no other man. Every
body calls him ''Uncle Sam" He is
just what you like to think of the
other Uncle Sam"
Now our Uncle Sam No. 2, among
the other good qualities for which he
is noted, is an ardent Democrat. He
is a worker in the ranks. He 10 3
Cleveland elector. He has never
held office. He had never asked for
office. He deserves we'll. He will
be rewarded.
Uncle Sam Vinson would like to
be U. S. Marshal for the district of
West Virgins. Uncle Sam is not
doing a great deal to secure that
Office, in the usual rush and tumble
fashion. He says that if he is hon
ored by the appointment he would
discharge his duties faithfully and
conscientiously. And he would.
His word is volumes. Everybody
believes him.
The appointment of Hon. S. 5.
Vinson as U. S. Marshal would be
prudent and strictly = reward of
merit.

Georgetown Notes and Comments,

GEORGETOWN, Dec 19.-I inclose you
notice of the death of Winnie Brookoyer.
the bright little daughter of M. ". G.
Brookover, deceased, and will tell you
also of the serious illness of child Of
E. II. Musgrave.
The sad accident of the breaking of
the leg of one of II. Clay Miller's bows
one week ago to-day, and that of James
RIGGS, of Big Indian creek, near Hagans
and G. w. Stewart, of-Stewart's Run are
both quite sick now.
Miss Mollie J.. Arnett, of Stewart
Run, has been visiting her married sis
ter Dora Clayton for the last month, and
Miss Mollie Hare, of Red Bridge, is with
Miss Ella Michael at present
A. B. Stewart has returned to Chicago,
and J. D. Michael and J. P. Nicely are
back from Uniontown.
Last week pension vouchers came in
and made the lame, halt, and blind hap

Gently many of our papers have been
talking on the road question. How to
have good roads, &c. Now if some of
us were to attempt to tell how to have
good newspapers, we would be admon-
ished at once to attend our own business,
more about roads than the road master
about newspapers? We guess not
We know this: Taxes are already too
high. We told you during the campaign
that we did not believe the people could
stand four years more of such taxation,
National, state, local-and the people
have so expressed. The farmer who is
the chief tax payer must have relief He
cannot pay such taxes. Recently we
know of sale of farm for $4,000, for
which the party paid over $1,000 10 years
ago. Why the sale? Simply because
taxes were greater than income, to say
nothing of usury. Don't forget this. at
is a condition and not theory that con-
fronts u.s." The tax payer must have
relief or he will seek relief, where there
is even little hope of it. His case is now
becoming desperate one and let the
powers that be, be admonished by that
fact not to press him too sorely. We
want protection-and we mean to have
it. The other fellow has had it quite
long enough-now we want ours.

The Republican NIalady.

The Wetzel Democrat puts it in
the fashion that follows:
The republicans are sick. This
becomes more and more evident every
day. If they are ever going to get
any better they ought to begin to
show signs of improvement. We
hope their malady will not become
chronic or we may have to enlarge
the national hospital.
Nothing suits them. They i'm
agine all sorts of vain things. Their
newspapers are full of democratic
rows and discussions that have no
existence outside of their diseased
imaginations. They abuse and
attempt to ridicule Cleveland.
They say his speeches have moth
ing in them, that he talks and
talks but says nothing. Still these
speeches make them very mai. Mad
at nothing. They say he outlines no
statesmanlike policy. They want to
know how Cleveland is to undo the
devilment they have been doing for
over twenty years. They have put
the country in hole, they would
like to see the democrats attempt to
pull it out, if they dare. About the
sickest man is the present republi-
can President. He evidently believes
that the late election was retro
gression," and that "retrogression is
a crime" His ill-natured message
would have been an insult 10 the
present Congress had it not been re.
garded as a joke. 1t is o veritable
tempest in teapot. Mr.. Harrison
can not insult the present Congress
or the incoming administration. A
man who refuses to respect the pop
ular VIII IS poor republican or a
still worse democrat.
But Harrison is like his party.
He will never be any better than he
is. His unconquerable egotism and
vanity will not permit it. A. party
which for years has publicly boosted
that it represented the intelligence,
virtue and morality OF the country
and yet comes down and declares
that twenty thousand Of its voters
in one of the most advanced and
enlightened states in the Union,
hadn't sense and intelligence enough
to scratch ballot, is evidently in
an cratic condition of mind, which
may be the preliminary symptoms
of political paresis.

The Pittsburg Commercial Ga
zette, with characteristic incorsisten.
cy in speaking of the attempted train
robbery at Huntington says "West
Virginia is keeping up her reputs-
ton for general cussedness." That
paper is extremely forgetful. The
train robbery on the Panhandle road,
just a short distance from Pittsburg
not long ago, is entirely lost sight of.
And there the Pennsy lvanians, COW
ardly as well, let themselves be loot
ed. At Hunting ton the robbers
were caught and the robbery was q
failure. One would think that in
the light of quite recent events the
Western Pennsylvania papers would
observe strict silence regarding law
lessness any place. If Allegheny
and Fayette counties haven't had
the curse of general cussedness late
ly no section has had. The plan for
Pittsburg papers to hop onto West
Virginia on the least, or in fact no
pretext. is poor and senseless news
paper or any other kind of business.
West Virginia has never received
any kind words from a Pittsburg
paper. They could have said many
and had the satisfaction of telling
the truth

HARVEY VANATA is q printer.
Furthermore he is a very unusual
member Of the craft, for he has been
lucky. This is the first case since
the pioneer days of b. Franklin that
printer has been lucky. He drew
a gold watch, with total outlay OF
ten American cents. He guessed on
how many sweet and beautiful little
drops of candy, little grains OF gum,
were in a jar The jar was in Phillips

paid ten cents, bat Harvey was tbs

The New York Sun charges, and
bears out the statement by good evil
dence, that the pension list, revised,
rejuvenated and amplitied, "includes
more names by several hundred thou
sand than there were soldiers in &C.
tive service in all the armies of the
Union at any one time during the
war. This makes it hard on the
honest soldier. So many thousands
are drawing pensions who were not
in the army that the Democrats are
surely to be commended for demand
ing halt and an investigation. The
Republican organs Say no. They do
Il Tor votes only. The honest soldiers
are in favor of the halt in the fraud.

The state road Law agitation has
come to stay. 1t is with pleasure
that We note that many Of the papers
of the state have taken up the mat
ter in dead earnest. The state road
law plan is the one ray Of hope to the
community which is the victim Of
bad roads, and through the fertile
hills and valleys of the entire state
cannot be found a section that can
boast Of good roads. Let the states
men at Charleston study and DELHI
crate and then act in this matter. =
There must be = state road law.
Take it to the Legislature.
Such law would simply be a com
pulsion to each county to work the
roads by specified system. There
fore it is the system that must be
looked after closely. In the system
all depends. The system must be
according to both scientific and prac-
tical experiments, within the reach
of the treasury of the poorest county.
But there 10 no county but that
could have better roads with the
same outlay as 1T present if they just
had good system. The system ia
wrong.
There must he state road law.
Take it to the Legislature.
1t is not the intention to herein
tell of the benefits OF good roads. 1t
was wise man most probably who
said the way to resume is to resume.
Wait till We get good roads and their
benefit will be apparent.
There must be state road law.
Take it to the Legislature.

West Virginia will keep right on
growing: increasing in wealth and
population, notwithstanding the ef-
forts Of some of her own people to
prevent it. In a recent conversation
with Commissions Of Internal
Revenue Joseph S. Miller, he said to
the New DOMINION that such rapid
growth and increase in population
had seldom been seen anywhere as
in the southern portion of the state
where he has large interests. He
thinks to be appreciated it must be
seen and he has invited the writer to
visit him and see for himself. Mr..
Miller may rely upon the invitation
being accepted.
