Mr.. Rothschild's plan for the more
extended use of silver as money, which
Is before the Brussels Convention, pro-
vides that a syndicate of nations pCr-
chase S25OOO,OOO Of silver annually for
five years. and that the United States
continue its purchases as at present.
This is evidently intended only as an
experiment to endeavor to artif1cially
keep up the price Of silver. and if at the
end Of the time specified it is seen that
Il is useless for the experiment TO be
longer tried, then the effort is to be
abandoned. The boarded silver VIII
then. as a matter Of course, be thrown
on the market, which will be elutted,
and the white metal will rapidly decline.
1t is announced that Mr. Rothschild's
plan will probatiy be adopted, but 1t is
nothing like such plan as the Ameri-
can delegates desire. They may accept
1t. however. on the principle that
half n loaf is better than no bread.

A DEcEPTIvE = srArEaENT.~

The Preston Comfy Journal is
IN such desperate condition that
1t last week published statement
in the Wheeling Register, made by
james W. White. one of the editors.
ana sworn to before Duncan McRa.
Notary Public and the Business
Manager of the concern, that when
they took charge Of the Journal.
one year ago, it had about $50 sub.
scrlbers and had increased its list to
abont 400 in one years time.
Ihey are very careful however. not
to mention in the statement, that
Mclta, before whom it was sworn.
was the Business Manager, and far
Their that this large increase in the
subscription list was due to the fact
that THE New Fra and Jouraai list
were both combined, when MIR.
White closed out Tile -Nec Err and
TOOK charge OF the journal, is net
limited at in this sworn statement
which would have people believe
that it was NIL due to netc SuJscri
hers To tie journal. The parties
who were taking the Era when il
handed in its checks (blank or pro
tested ones) were compelled to take
the Jo"In0l In lieu of subscription
paid to the E'rq, or. get nothing,
and this is the sum total of the big
increase in the journal list. Take
the names off their list added from
the EFd account and we honestly
doubt If they can show as MANY
subscribers rs the Journal had
when they took charge, $50, accor.
ding to their own sworn statement.
We dislike to air these things in
public, but since they have acted so
little with US, we are compelled TO
retaliate.

SOUR NEIGHBOURS"

"Whom the gods wish to destroy,
they first make mad" In this case
"our friends, the enemy" here are
marked for sacrifice, for they are
indeed mad at last, and very mad,
too, and so sore that they are unable
to hide 1T. The ARGUS has beaten
them at every point and had the
Journal in hole for q long time.
Every time it opened it mouth it
put both feet into it, and smarting
under continued defeat and ono
disaster following another, most of
which was laid onto the ARGUS,
"our brethren" of the Journal have
at last severed all connection with
us, and even refused to exchange.
Last week they took advantage of
our absence las usuaD to cut us off
their exchange list and mark our
paper "Refused" and leave in the
office. Like children playing and
getting worsted, get mad and gather
up their doll rags and go home.
Such childish action is an admission
OF weakness, and it only places
another club in our hands. Onr
Republican contemporaries are indeed
young in the business and have
much to learn, and il. they get rat.
tied and side tracked this early in
the campaign, we advise their
friends to prepare for an early de-
mise. If they expect to keep the
ARGUS from finding out their many
mistakes and calling attention to
their wonderful breaks by refusing
to "X" with US, they are indeed
sadly mistaken, for several Repub.
leans of the town, even upon hear.
ing of their latest "Act for Protec-
ton of Infant Industries, came to
us and offered us their Journal.
Said we were "welcome to it ali
the Tina, as they didn't read it
anyhow and didn't want it." So
the ARGUS will still pursue the even
tenor of its way, and do business at
the old stand and whack it TO our
up-street contemporaries every time
they poke their heads out of the
slough of despair in which they are
so hopelessly mired. AS this is
Dog Days and the Dog Stars evil
influence is dominant, and the dogs
are mad and the snakes blind, and
all the lower animals more or less
affected, there may be some excuse
for our neighbors' madness, and we
would suggest to them to wear
cabbage leaf in their hat all the
time. 1t would help them to keep
cool and seem so natural for the
cabbage leaf.

The Teachers Institute at Terra
Alta IS big success and Is thought
to be the best ever held in the
county. They have Prof.
Robert A. Armstrong, Principal of
the State Normal School at West
Liberty, and one Of the most popu-
lar instructors IN the State. lie
came very near being the Demo.
cratic nominee for State Supcrin-
tendent, and was tho strongest and
most popular candidate before the
Convention, buC was beaten simply
by geographical location. Being
from the Third district, and that
district already having the candi.
dates for Governor and Treasurer
aud the Fourth having no place ON
the State ticket, it was necessary to
give them a position, hence it went
to Virgil A. Lewis.

Prof. Harry Houck, Deputy State
Supt. of Schools of Pennsylvania,
is one Of the instructors at the
Teachers Institute at Terra Alta
this week and is the most entertain
ing instructor we ever had the
pleasure Of meeting, and our teach
ers are enthusiastic in their praises
Of him. The lecture Of Bob Bur
dette's failed TO come of last night
and Prof. Houck consented TO en-
terrain the audience, which he did
in a mastery manner, and we be-
lieye as we'll as Burdette could have
done, had he arrived himself. From
some cause or other, the latter fail
ed TO get there, and a large audience
was disappointed. About three
hundred tickets were sold and the
Opera House would have been crowd
ed. At least fifty people we're over
from here, most or them driving
across the country, and II was too
bad for the lecture TO fail after it
had been 50 successfully worked mp
j. Russell Trotter, who promptly
refunded all money for tickets.

The Republican State Convention
convened in Huntington yesterday.
1t Is hard to tell who will accept the
empty honors of the nominations
for the various State officers. As
Huntington is the same kind of a
prohibition town as Parkersburg,
the convention will undoubtedly be
bowling success while il lasts
anyhow, and the boys will not have
such dry time Of it after all.

SALT FOR SnEEP.--To keep sheep
IN a healthy condition, says the
Sheep Breeder, it is necessary that
they be supplied with a sufficient
amount of saline matter. When
this is wanting in the pasture, as il
very frequently is except near the
e coast, it must be supplied arii.
ficially. Salt is more or less poi
sonous to worms and nlukes, hence
ii is necessary 10 give sheep a plen-
,iful supply. 1t is stated on good
authority that sheep ranging on
the sea coast never have the liver
rot or huke. The effect ofthe lack
of salt is 10 cause debility in the
sheep so that they cannot resist
the attacks of The parasites and
these always thrive in a weak ami
NAL. Salt alone is not sufficient IN
interior pastures sulphate of iron
(coperas) should also be given in
.alt, which acts as a tonic, and is
good fer internal worms. Turpen.
tine is also beneficial as salt as a
lick ; say one pint 10 thirty pounds
of salt. Mix only SO much as will
be eaten at once, in order 10 pre-.
vent loss by evaporation. Of the
coperas, fully powdered, put one
pound to ten OF salt, and protect
the mixture from The rain.
