Rev. Bush as President.
The young folks had a festival on
last Saturday evening at Scrabble,

We had the pleasure of meeting
one of Martinsburg's young men in
West End Chapel in Hagerstown,

who is now the regular pastor of
that church, and is much beloved by
his congregation.
On Whit Monday many of our
folks gathered along the Potomac
and engaged in fishing, while others
hunted the woods for Large and

for new trial in the case of Henry
f. Smooth, convicted of the murder
of Susie c. Terrell. and sentenced
Smooth to be hung on the 18th day
of October 1892. The report says ::
"While sentence was being pro-
nounced the prisoner stood in a mo-
tionless manner and received the
judgement of the court without the
slightest failure CT nerve.
His counsel served six bills of ex-

language made no impression upon

first day, and the whole trial occu

BLAINE.

Whether or not Mr.. Blaine shall
ever again hold an office he will al
ways be regarded as one of the gil
gantic figures of the century, man
who in brains and the true qualities
of craftsmanship has had no super
ior since the foundation of the Re
public. Mr.. Murat Halstead's esti-
mate of him is worth reading just at
this time.
"The question is asked, what eff
feet will the story of this convention
have upon the fame of James G.
Blaine ? The answer is easy and
historical in its nature. When one
thinks of the fame of Daniel Web
ster, the most colossal figure in our
political history, who remembers or
cares that he got but twenty votes
in the Baltimore convention, before
which he was for the last time can
didate for the Presidency, standing
against his executive chief, Willard
Fillmore? 1t is not too much to
say, and now is the time to say it,
that the mark which Mr.. Blaine has
made in American annals, though
not so austere and grand as that of
Webster, is equally brilliant and
lofty and useful and honorable, and
will be as memorable. The author
of the pan American idea, of poll
cy comprehending the hemisphere,
and of the system of reciprocity that
has opened foreign markets to our
products and made New York more
than ever the golden gate of the
North American continent, will be
held in remembrance as long, and
will be not less ilIustrious than the

Bette Lewis Wins the Case.

RICHMOND, Va, June 14.--The
Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals
will Thursday render a decision
at Wytheville in the famous Betty
Lewis Thomas case. The plaintiff
in the case is a young mulatto wom-
an, who is the natural daughter of a
retired white merchant named W.
L. Thomas, who died about four years
ago. He left an estate valued at
something like quarter of a million
dollars. The daughter claimed that
the deceased on his deatbbed had
made an oral gift to her of his mon
ey in bank and other personal prop
erty. Thomas brothers and other
legal heirs denied this and made a
legal fight for the property. The
court, it is understood. will hand
down an opinion Thursday in favor
of Betty Lewis. Thomas, the colored
natural daughter. This opinion is
written bv Judge Fountleroy and
concurred in by all of the other mem.
bers of the court except Judge Lacy.

The Democratic National Conven-
ton will convene in Chicago, on
Tuesday next. Like the queries
surrounding its predecessor and OPP
ponent, comes the important one:
Who will be nominated? Mr.. Cleve-
land seems to be in the swim, though
many persons assert not, inasmuch
as Harrison beat him in 1888, and
Harrison is stronger now and Cleve-
land weaker than at that time. Safe
ty might indicate the necessity of
new timber, at least on issues that
have been disturbing the minds of
voters. On tariff, there would be a
distinct issue between the former
contestants. On that Harrison won.
On silver, there is no issue between
them, as both oppose change of the
monetary system, unless recognized
by the leading commercial nations.
Senator Hill might make free coin.

cal tricks, like Germans, seem to
have doomed him for defeat in his
own party. Governor Boies, of Iowa,
has been looming up as strong can
didate, on account of his having car
ried that State. The same may be
said of Pattison, of Pennsylvania,
but all will find, that on national is
sues, state popularity will not count
very much. 1t is hard to find man
stronger than his party, and the
truth is, the average voter looks to
his quiet, peace and prosperity more
than to changes, when doubt at
tends, and not only good man is
required, but perfect, stable, solid
security is demanded. On this basis
the question still is, who?
