The Negroes True Friend.

From the Pioneer Press, organ Of the
colored people Of West Virginia, we
take the following paragraph:
sin West Virginia, the negro works
for Democrats, and not only gets pay
from them, but favors; and in many
cases no truer friendship could exist,
and what is true in this state is true all
over the South; and as the Democrats Of
Massachusetts,, New York, Ohio and
Illinois have treated the negro as full
iedged citizen, so must and will other
States. and firmly believe that West
Virginia Democracy will open wide its
doors next year and freely
ask the negroes in. Here is a
point: For nearly twenty years the
negro has lived In this State under Dem
ocratic rule, in prosperity, and at the
same time been its answering foe, and
worse still, has only received damns in
stead of devotion from their Republican
friends. Since the Democrats are I'M
alterably true to themselves and their
principles is 1t not safe TO try them, and
especially since we have to live among
them and under their rule? Surely our
condition can not be made worse. For
all the negro's devotion and work for
the Republicans Of West Virginia, l
defy them to point to single man OF
color who holds or ever held any posi-
ton Of importance"

The London Money Market.

LONDON, January i0.-Money was plen-
tiful during the past week, Discount was
easy at 2 for three months and IA for
short The chief monetary feature of the
week was the semi-annual declaration OF
bank dividends. The London and West
minister Bank announced a dividend Of Is
per cent, against 10 per cent for the same
period last year, and the London Stock
Bank 10 per cent, against 2215 per cent.
last year. The decrease in the dividends
is due partly 10 the retention of greater
cash reserves, and partly TO dull business.
HThe silver market was notably weak
throughout. The foreign gold demand was
light. The only appreciable demand was
from Germany, and even there small
amounts were taken. The stock Exchange
did a fair business last week. The boom
expected at the opening Of the year has not
come off.
American railway securities were irreg-
ular: The manipulations Of Wall street
operators have been something of an enigma
here. The course Of dealings early in the
week indicated that New York was ma
neuvering for fall, and London and the
leading provincial exchanges became heavy
sellers. When the reaction set in, New
York absorbed every kind offered, and this
checked the,relapse here till the recurrence
of fall in Wall street yesterday led to q
renewal Of selling here.

Awe.t virginia Magazine.

The initial number of the Southern
Historical NdgaziB-, published by Vir-
xii A. Lewis, at Charleston. w. Va,
has been issued. 1t Is meritorious
and creditable in every respect, 1t is a
live periodical, teeming with articles Of
intense interest TO everyone. The jan
uary number should especially please
West VirSnians, as its contents treats
largely Of this State. Prominent among
the valuable papers are The Cavalier
Founders of Virginis-The names Of
the men who laid the foundation
OF Jamestown;" "WeSt Virginia'S
State House-HistOry and descrip-
ton of the same;" "The
country in which Burr and Blennerhas-
sett expected to establish a great South
west empire; 1.-The first white man at
the mouth Of the Greenbrier river;
the mammoth mound at Mounds
vile, West Virginia; 1.-The Foreman
stone" and "How an hundred aud ten
years have changed the bound areas OF
Virginia" The price of this new mag
azine Is $500 per annum, and it is
worth many times its subscription price
to everyone interested in Southern his
tory and that Of this State.

The Bait Thro wn to West Virginia.
RQndoEph EnlsrpriSe.

The political mind readers are still
busy endaavoring to size up the Presi-
dents purpose in giving two important
political appointments TO this State,
Mr.. Golf to be Judge OF the United
States Circuit Court, and Mr.. Elkins
Secretary Of War. The consensus OF
opinion seems to be that it is shrewd
move on the part Of Mr.. Harrison to
CAPTURE the electoral vote OF West Nir-
pinia In the next Presidential election.
Indeed there is scarcely any doubt that
he has concocted this pretty little
scheme, but those who love him best
should advise him not to set too high
cash value on it. By the appointment
of Golf at the instigation OF Elkins,
the President has probably so far
neutralized the rivalry high
erto existing between these gentlemen
as to insure their cooperation In giving
to him a solid delegation from West
Virginia in the next Republican Ma
tional Convention; but beyond that he
will hardly gain anything substantial.
West Virginia Is nobody's pocket bor-
ouCh, and she is not likely to sell her
birth right for mess Of pottage. The
politicians may do all the scheming they
like, but here the people usually vote to
suit themselves. Our people are al
WAYS glad to welcome capital and capt.
talists, but II any one fancies his mil
lions will suffice to surround his castle
with huge clan of West Virginia re-
tainers, he will be likely to discover his
error when election day has rolled by.
These gentlemen whom Mr.. Harrison
has taken under the shadow OF his wing
have their political and personal follow
ings but their strength has been fully
tried in recent campaigns and found I'M
eoual to the task of carrying this State
so far so that Mr.. Golf by accepting
the Judgeship and being thereby retlr-
ed from active politics tacitly admits
that the task of carrying the State In
another campaign is too Herculean for
even his omnipotence. Give these gen.
tlemen full credit for all
their political and personal strength
and still they are impotent before a
united Democracy such as will in all
probability confront them in the next
campaign. Only one hope remains TO
Characterization Of negro voters;
for that the Democrats will have
lyeen sleanlgss eve.

Republican organs having nothing else
70 say just now against the present

arguments and just what they mean by
this is not clear.
Do they mean to imply that the Demo

tion of the government? II so they are
right. II they mean that the purpose
Of the Democrats is to cripple the ad-
mipistration or hinder public work by
s.naripgr necessary appropriations they
are wrong.
The country has had an experience OF

the Republican politics Of Preston
county. What right have they to say
who is entitled to the postoffices in
Preston county? Who authorized them
to speak for Preston county RepubH-

Preston county politics is a
reflection upon the intelli-
gence OF this county, and the argus is

them that we have just as intelligent
