The Leader is Born Not Made

The Leader is Born Not Made.
The Republican press of the State
has been SO obliging for the past week
as to busy itself about picking a new
leader" for the Democratic party, and
it has mentioned various estimable
gentlemen including ex-Chancellor
Runyon, Clerk Lee of the Supreme
Court and Attorney General Stockton
as custom made, hand finished
Moseses to lead the Democratic party
out of some alleged wilderness.
All this is too, too kind. The solic-
itude of Republicans for the welfare
of the Democracy almost brings tears
of gratitude to our eyes. Their
anxiety to provide for US a standard
bearer who in their opinion can lead
us to victory is one of the most touch
ing instances of generosity on record
in the politics of this or any other
land.
There are onlytwo unfortunate flaws
in the situation. Firstly, we do not
want a new leader. Secondly, leaders
cannot be made to order, they grow
up by a natural process.
The notion that the Democratic
party is going to di~sintegrate because
a combination of disconnected tax
payers-not unjustly angry-ballot-
box suffers, liquor dealers and policy
gamblers defeated a Democratic can
didate Is simply nonsensical, ever
though that candidate was one of the
brightest luminaries of the party. 1t
is exactly the ann sort of nonsense
as the prophecies that the Re-
publican party had heard it's
death knell, made the day Grover
Cleveland defeated James G. Blaine.
The Democratic party is going to do
all it can to show the people that it
regrets abuses which have sprung up
under its tutelage, that it is not only
willing, but eager to aid in reforming
them and purifying itself. 1t began
the process when it nominated Allan
McDermott, but the people denied it
the opportunity for realization. That
is all right. The people rule. AS to
the result it does not matter what
combination of elements brought 1t
about. The Democracy has bowed to
the popular mandate c%heerfully, and
it will help all it can to forward the
desires of the best element of the
community, and will trust to time to
show who are the sincere and the
able reformers, Republicans or Demo-
Gratis. For future contests the party
has no fear. 1t relies on the inevitable
triumph of principle and earnestness.
AS for the leadership question, the
party is enthusiastically devoted to
the men who have led it to victory a
hundred times. 1t is not going to
forfeit its loyalty on account of one
petty local reverse, with which they
had little concern, and which was OBJ
viously a mere political accident.
Even if they were DESTROYS of change,
change cannot be made to order.
Leaders make themselves by their
commanding personal qualities.
Leadership is not always a matter of
wisdom, nor yet of energy, nor yet of
popularity. The faculty of command
is as occult as it is real. Out of a man
who does not possess it, a leader can
not be made, and you cannot keep

On Tuesday morning, May 2, as
the through freight train was com.
ing South with heavy lot of cars,
she let fifteen of tho number go
through the trestlo just this side of
Murrayvilic. Eleven of them were
loaded with railroad iron, one with
merchandise, aud three oil tanks,
the engine and five cars getting sue
cessfnlly over before the loaded cars
went down. 1t seems to be very
plain case of rotten trcstle, from
the fact that when the railroad iron
laden cars reached the fatal spot
they went down. The scene pre-
sented an awful spectacle, cars jum-
bled. together in all shapes, and
kindling wood made of some of
them. The treslIe was torn up and
several bcnts of it were wholly
destroyed. The saddest part of the
accident, was when Lewis Ray was
killed by going to sleep on the track
just above the wreck where he had
gone to flag the wrecking train
which was coming down from Par
kersburg He had been watching
the wrecked train and it is pre-
sumed was worn out for want of
sleep, and sat down upon the track
with flag in hand, and fell asleep,
when the wrecking train rushed
upon him, crushing his body fear
fully, cutting one leg off and other
wise horribly mutiIating him. This
is another case of overworked men,
who are overcome for want of sleep.
There ought to be some law to pre-
vent railroads from working their
men over twelve hours at time.
The trestle and track have been
repaired and trains arc now passing
over them regularly. The loss will
be a heavy one TO the company.
There are many men in this town
who seem to take delight in seeing
brutal dog fights, and they never
lose an opportunity to hiss dogs on
one another. These fights cause
bad feelings aud in nearly every
case result in bringing on fights be-
tween men. We are glad to see
the authorities taking the right
course to break up this brutal con-
duct, and putting fines on the men
who engage in it. The peace and
quiet of the town demands that this
shall be continued until the practice
is broken up. There are too many
worthless ours in town anyhow,
that are not licensed and the coun-
ell ought to see to it that all dogs on
which the tax is not paid, are killed,
and the owners fined for not COM
plying with the law.
With the improvement of the
Great Kanawha river finished,
Point Pleasant will enjoy the dis

Meeting us with the Mississippi, the
1Father of Waters" will give us
uninterrupted transportation for our
products to the sea. 1t will also
make this place the base of all coal
supplies, from whence the great
lows for the South will be made up.
This alone will bring. thousands OF
people, who will be employed on
the river, to our town.

j. ID. McGufiln for County Commissioner.
Mr.: Editor: To the people of Ma
son county, there is no official so
near them as that of Commissioner.
While the Sheriff collects the taxes.
the Commissioners appropriates the
funds, and this is the matter of
chief concern to the tax payer, and
the Commissioner should therefore
be gentleman of intelligence. OF
practical business experience; one
familiar with our system of NUM-
eipal government, aud of the adj
ministration of its affairs.
For this reason it is now time
that the people be looking about
among them for such man. 1t is
conceded, we believe, that the lower
side of Kanawha is this year en- :
titled to the nominee, and while
there are many good men residing
in this section, we know of no one
who would more creditably fill the
position than J. B. McGuffin, of Ar
buckle district. He is in every way
especially qualified for the duties of
the office. A practical farmer, and
a graduate of the Law Department
of Michigan University, and is
therefore both intellectually and
practically qualified.
He has heretofore carried Mason
county, and if the Democratic Coun-
ty Convention will give him the
nomination, he will do it again.
Give us the genial j. B. McGufiin
for Commissioner.

an important source of income to
our farmers. The price of tho clip
this year will not be quite so high
