Three Chestnuts.
SIMON P. ID,

In the South the Third party has a
considerable following, and its disci-
Piles will ''make Rome howl" but it
is safe to assume that as long as we
are confronted with the threat of a
force bill, the iniquitous Republican
tariff and the pension steal the South
will remain solidly Democratic.

quence of this evil state of things
this foOsening the reins of law--this
lowering the standard of public jus
| tice.
A man Of spirit is libelled or beat
en-. What is he to do! Sueg The
finger of derision would be pointed
at him. Have the assailant indicted!
He knows that will amount to little,
if anything. Shall he nurse his hu-
initiation aud wear the degradation he
knows will be his, in popular estima-
ton, or shall he with strong hand be-
come his own avenger, and wipe out
in blood the stains on his name. He is
u murderer, and yet who does not pity
him who is put to this test. That is
the common course, and for it the
public is responsible. today indict
the people on tlris charge, and they
know its truth, aud must plead guilty
ut the bar of conscience. The men
who sustained the shock of war; brave
Confederate Veterans, are they who
can do much, and should do all they
can, to correct this great evil, which
afflicts our land with its blighting in
fiuence. We must exalt society,
and compel individuals to submit to
it.
We have banished the duello,
which was every way preferable to
the substitute of recent years.
Let us Danish the evil practice of
individual redress of wrongs. AS
good citizens let us set the example of
obedience to law. Let us exalt socie-
ty, its laws and tribunals, and compel
submission to its regulations and admin
istration. Let us, as ex-Confederates,
be as true to our obligation in civil life
as we were to our duties in the days
of strife, and as we maintained a solid
front to the common foe of our coun-
try, let us unitedly oppose this evil
in our midst, which is sapping the
foundations of society, loosening the
bonds threatening disintegration and
ruin.
1t is to the law, the expression of
the will of organized society, that all
must look for the preservation and
protection of everything that makes
life dear. Without law there is tyr
rany, anarchy, destruction, ruin,
misery. There uiU be law-the will of
the State-just, regular, uniform. pro-
tecting right, and redressing wrong
by the methods of organized society,
or irregular law, the offspring of pas
sion, the decree of force, the rule of
might controlled by excited passions,
confounding the innocent and the
guilty, right and wrong as passion
sways.
The only safety for society is in
.just laws, impartially and faithfully
administered, with none too low to re-
ceive their care aud protection, and
none too high to be subject to their
restraint. appeal to all to strive by
teaching and example to bring about
this desirable state of things.
We must epthrOne law, crown JUS
tice, and bear true allegiance to this
sovereign of our creation. In no other
way can we so much advance the
true interests of our country. BY no
other means can the happiness of So
ciety be so effectually promoted.
There is loud call for patriots and
heroes to rescue tlfeir country from
this foe to its prosperity; this enemy
that threatens destruction.
Where can it look with such hope
and confidence as to its veterans2

The temperance plank in the Ma
tional Republican platform fills three
lines and contains nineteen words.
The key word to the sentence is the
verb sssympathize.n This wonderful
word is found in one other plank, and
only one .sit sympatbizes with Home
Rule in Ireland.n Evidently both
these reforms are considered foreign,
and therefore nothing more can be Of
fered than sympathy.-Chicago Lerer.

Declaration of Purposes.
Whereas, the general condition OF our coun-
try imperatiyely demands unity of action on
and economy, and the dissemination of prin-
clples best calculated to encourage and foster
agricultural and mechanical pursuits, encour-
aging the toiling masses-leading them in
the road to prosperity, and providing a just
and fair remuneration for labor, just ex-
change for our commodities, and the best
means of securing to the laboring classes the
greatest amount of good we hold to the
ro;nia that oil ,nnnannlips arc tn
the best interest of our country, tenaing to en-
slave free people aud subyert and finally over
throw the great principles purchased by the
fathers of American liberty. We therefore
adopt the following as our declaration princi-
pies:
1. To labor for the education OF the agricuI-
tural classes In the science Of economical gov
ernment, in strictly non-partisan spirit and
bring about a more perfect union OF said
classes.
q That we demand equal rights to all, and
special fayors to none.
g. To endorse the motto: "In things es-
sential, unity; and in all things charity.
4. To develop better state mentally, morally,
socially and financially.
5. To constantly strive to secure entire har-
mony and good will to all mankind and brother
ly love among ourselves.
G. To suppress personal, local, sectional and
national prejudices, all unhealthy rivalry and all
selfish ambition.
z. The brightest jewels which 1t garners, are
the tears OF the widows and orphans, and its
imperative commands are to visit the homes
where lacerated hearts are bleeding; to assuage
the suffering of brother or sister; bury the
dead, care for the widows and educate the or
phans; to exercise charity toward all offenders;
to construe words and deeds in their most favor
able light, granting honesty OF purpose and
good intentions to others and to protect the
principle. of the Farmers Alliance and indus
trial Union until death. Its laws are reason
and; its equity cardinal doctrines inspire purity
of thought and life, It's intention is: ION earth,
peace and good win TO man."

rhe IEestern Maryland Matter.

President J. M. Hood has published
an open letter concerning the West Vir-
ginia Centrul and Pittsburg's attempt
to secure control OF the Western Mary
land property. Messrs. Davis, Elkins
and their associates hope to get five
representatives in the Board at Direc-
tors by virtue of the stock which they
have bought. Mr.. Hood says: "Of the
entire 1905 shares of the capital stock
of the company Baltimore City owns
1000, Washington county 1900, and in
dividuals 7,495. OF the latter Messrs.
Davis ct al control enough, so that II
they get the city's property In the
stakeholder election they could prob.
ably get enough of the eight political
appointees to give them majority In
the board" Mr.. Hood says further:
"When it Is considered that the West
ern Maryland stock held in the West
Virginia Central has cost less than
$50, 900, while the clty's interest in the
road has cost over $500, 060-that is,
when the former is little more than
one-hall of per cent. of the latter-it
is not clear upon what reasonable
grounds the West Virginia Central
people can expect single director in u
board Of thirteen"

piled by the Company show. From Sep
TENDER 18th to the s5th, $40 first class

would make 1,7OO coaches, and estimat-
ing an average Of sixty passengers to a

There were no delays and no accidents,
which speaks we'll for the good manage
ment of those in charge, both In the

on Sunday, September 18th, thirty-four
passenger trains passed Martinsburg,
