WINGED them of the impossibility of
getting a majority Of the next

they arc going to give up the fight
for Congressman in the close and

If votes can be traded against them

Written for the ANGUS.

written for the ANGUS.
"The poor ye have always" Ev-
cry community has its helpless,
unfortunate poor. Eleemosynary
measures and institutions are nee.
essary in a state Of enlightened
civilization. The subject Of pro-
tecting psupers from want has been
carefully studied by economists in
all Christian lands. 1t has been
found best not to be too lavish IN
aid to the poor, but rather to supply
what their own efforts fail TO pro-
vide, lest shiftlessness and indo-
lence should be put at a premium.
Such protection is grounded upon
humanitarian principles. 1t has
the sanction of religion and philan-
thropy. To care for the widow,
the orphan and the helpless, is
commendable as an act of religion,
pure and indebted" Charitable
institutions and deeds need no de-
Tense. Protection to the poor is
the duty Of more prosperous people.
God wills that the rich shall protect
the poor, or else the founders Of
Christianity were mistaken in their
notions of duty.

against our brother, has struck
blow at an organization, which is
recognized by all fair miaded men,
as an institution worthy the respect
OF the American people, and one
that this assembly considers an

The Reublican and Peoples Party
fusion down in Georgia, were going
to sweep the Democrats down there
out Of existence before the State
election, which came off last week .
Since the returns have been coming
in, it Looks like there was no such
thing as a Republican or People's
party down there, for the Demo.
cratic majority has been climbing
up higher and heigher until so, 600
has been reached and the big Re-
publican majority in Pennsylvania
IS more than Offset. The Republi.

will not carry West Virginia this
year. Down here we are all Demo-
Gratis on the tariff question, but the

most interested IN. There are a
hundred Mckinley bills in that
scheme and it involves the rights Of

Some of Ben Harrison's one horse

the most reliable Democrats in the
county writes that he received n
Republican campaign supplement
IN the ARGUS last week, and sus-
picions the Postmaster at his Office
for removing the one we sent out
and inserting the other IN its place.
This is exactly what was done and
1T must have been done at his Office
for no one else would have any
right to open the package but tho
Postmaster at the Office whore it
was addressed. Every paper sent
out in the county from this Office,
contained special supplement as
announced in last weeks paper.
chuck full of Democratic doctrine.
and to steal that out and substitute
lying sheet in its place to try AID
deceive the voters is only in accord
with the usual policy of party led
by such men as Quay, Dudley,
Martin and ElkIns. Any party
or public official, that will descend
to such low down dirty work,
deserves the condemnation Of all
honest men. We don't know how
much Of it has been done in the
county. but if any Democrat knows
OF any more such work we want to
be notified of it at once.
