WHAT a beautiful row was that in the
National House last Friday The aristo-
cratic Democracy of the South, which
holds its brother Democrats of the North
in the most supreme contempt, opposed
the seating of Rockwell, Hills Elmira
man. General O'Ferrall, of Virginia,
presumably a F. F. V. was spokesman
for these men, who are really honest,
and who disdain any crookedness at
elections short of shot guns. General
O'Ferrall said that Rockwell was not a
decent man, and that he occupies his
seat by means of fraud. Referring to
Hills recent encounter with him, he
said, Il have been assailed, in the House
and out of it by citizens, pro bono
pu6tico citizens, who question my
Democracy. Thank God 1 don't have
to go about in any country with badge
on the lapel of my coat labeled, 4 am
Democrat And he said further,
sit is charged that am warped in this
case because prefer certain man for
President. 1 prefer great big man.
1 prefer man who is lion, not one
who is a fox" And arraigning at one
swoop the leaders of the whole party
North, he cried: "a demagogue is too
mean to live and too damnable to die. F"
What a magnificent show for the
Republican members, and what exqui-
site harmony in Democratic ranks.

CHAIRMAN CLARKsoN has originated
the plan of establishing Republican
clubs among college students. No
scheme could be thought of that would
do more good. The educational insti-
tutions of this country as rule lean
toward free trade and have free trade
professors. The youth on commence
ment day is fortunate if he is not
thoroughly impregnated with the falla-
cious doctrines of free traders. 1t is
almost impossible for him to escape
somewhat of disposition in that di-
rection. OF course, his contact with
practical life soon rids him of foolish
theories, and his previous mental train
ing enables him the more readily to
drop them.
But if by the organization of clubs
wherein Republican ideas are kept on
the surface, the college man is prevented
from stufing his young brains with
nonsensical theory, and kept alive to
the facts that will confront him when
he stops spending his fathers money,
and tries to make his own, he will go
out with much better equipment.

BELMONT couNTYs INTEREST.

We have nothing derogatory to say
concerning any candidate seeking the
Congressional nomination in this dis
trict, but as this county is by far the
largest in this division, and has had only
one Congressman since the organization
of the party, we are for Belmont county
first, last, and all the time. Such, too, is
the position we believe every loyal citi-
zen of Belmont county takes. We be-
lieve this county is entitled to the nom-
ination from any chosen standpoint.
The one thing necessary is to concentrate
our forces upon the most likely candi-
date and go before the convention with
an united front. The claim that any
one is entitled to the nomination by
reason of long party service may be
good sentiment, but at the same time
may be poor political logic for Belmont
county. Again, the claim that anyone
should be given the place because he is
young and may make something of him
self, or because he is old and has many
times failed to secure nomination,
should not be seriously considered.
True, most of our leading Statesmen
were sent to Congress before they were
thirty-five, and but few made to wait
until they are sixty distinguish them
selves. Still, we are for Belmont county
and the man who has the timber in him
to make the best Congressman, without
reference to age, past service or other
wise. Who is that man? Consider
carefully, then attend the primary on
May and act accordingly.

Now THAT Belmont county will have
two candidates for Congress, the contest
should proceed good naturedly. There
is nothing gained by indulging in bit
terness. After the primary contest is
over and the nomination made, all will
unite against common enemy, and
this is more easily secured If the pre-
liminary contest is fair and open.

THE best Of all ways

For nine e-tenths of the diseases of the
body begin with constipation or the
clogging up of the sluice ways. through
which the impurities of the blood escape,
so that they are reabsorbed into the
system. The Purgative Pellets act
gently but thoroughly upon the stomach
and liver, and are the best laxative
known. Without raeking and straining
the organs, they open the bowels and
restore a natural, healthy digestion.
Unequaled in dyspepsia, constipation,
biliousness, piles, or any of the resulting
diseases.

GENERAL MCDUFFIE, Southern free

GENERAL MCDUFFIE, Southern free
trade Democrat in 1882. arguing in
Congress against protection, said:
The people of the North will continue to manu-
faeture if the duties are entirely repealed. he
only difference would be that they would have to
curtail their enormous profits and reduce the ex-
travagant wages of their labor and sell their man
ufaetures cheaper.
Precisely. The old General was an
honest man. The repeating of the tariff
means curtailment of profits (all manu-
facturers want that, reduction of wages
(al workers are eager for reduction). and
lower selling price for commodities
mot only the manufacturer, but the
farmer who supplies him with food also
would hail with joy such an era of
cheapness).
