They Claimed West virxi-ia.

Yes they claimed West Virginia.
They always do. To our certain
knowledge they have been claiming
II for twenty years.
This time it was sure. They had
Aglred it out by geometrical, arith-
netrical, diametrical, or some other
kind OF metrical progression, by
which they demonstrated conclusive
" that this Was the year in which
they would wipe out the last re-
naming numeral Of the Democratic
majority.
Then, Elkins, backed with unlim-
tied Doodle, fortified with unlimited
resources in political trickery, aided
ald abettsd by all the personnel Of
the national administration, on the
stump, in the caucus, and in the
midnight plottings-with all these
ct his back, Elkins WAS bound to
carry West Virginia.
He had already carried it.
He said he had! Even before a
vote was cast.
He had carried it ten days, twenty
days, thirty days before tho day ap-
pointed to cast the ballot.
Norever chairman Dawson had
been IN the field for four square
years, organizing the Republican
party. When the last presidential
election was concluded, Dawson en-
tered on his work of carrying this
election. He had polled the State;
had got it down fine; could tell
how every voter in every school dis
trict would vote: could figure out
the exact majority for the Republi-
eans before the ballots were cast or
counted.
Then. there Was the Wheeling In
tessigsncer, which had even more ex-
got Information. Its editor had
spent = night with Elkins and his
aids in carefully counting the votes
seven days before the election, and
tn flaming editoriol announced
that ~the State 10 ours" and there
could BE- no donbt about it.
But With all their Doodle and bun
sembe; With all their negro bum
hers asd other imported elements,
che little mountain state stands
firmly in line, and refuses to be
bought or bulldozed.
We glory in the fact that the
Democracy of West Virginia can't
BE- bought. It's q matter of Just
pride that after the boodlers have
CLEANED from i.s ranks the rag-tag
and bobtail, there is always re-
spectability enough left to maintain
: majority for honest government
and equal rights. West Virginia ia

never matter of importantly. Who
ever heard of blucbird's song out OF
seasonl 1t may be cold and snowy to-
morrow, but his wings trembe in tho
nervous ecstasy of the present, and he
sings Of the bit of spring that now is.
When the storm comes then he is silent.
He may flee before its breath, or, if it is
late in the season, he will fold his wing,
unstring his lutte, and uncomplainingly
wait till the vernal sun and wind shall
come again. But let the mercst slit OF
sunlight cash the cloud, aud he MARBLES
forth his greetings. He has been ac.
cuscd of trying to force the season. But
1t is not that. He is such a lover of the
very promises Of nature that he Is as
happy in hope as fruition.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA - The passenger

o'clock a. M. near Weems, ten miles
east of here. AS the train moved away
from the station robber boarded the Ell

One man stood guard over the engineer
and fireman, while several others opened
fire on the inside of the trai n in order to
frighten the passengers. Another robber
knocked on the door Of the mail car, de
manding admittance, which was refused.
He then broke open the door, firing at
the postal clerk, who was slightly wound
ed. Every registered letter In the-car,
supposed to contain about two thousand
dollars, was taken. The entire robbery
was done in eight minutes, during which
time several of the gang kept up a firing

A TRIFLE.

A kiss he took and a backward look,
And her heart grew suddenly lighter;
A tr.he, you say, to color a day,
Yet the dull grey morn seemed brighter.
For hearts are such that tender touch
Nav Danish a look of sadness;
A small, bright thing can make us sing,
But a frown will check our gladness
The cheerest ray along our way
Is the little act of kin1uess.
An the keenest sting some careless thing
That was done in a moment Of bin iness.
We can bravely face life in home where
strife
No foothold can discover,
And he lovers still if we only will,
Though youths bright days are ever.
All, sharp as swords cut the unkind words
That are tar beyond recalling,
When face lies hid meath u coffinlid,
And bitter tears are falling,
We fan would give the lives we live
To undo our idle scorning:
Then let us not miss tho smile and kiss
When we part in the light of morning.

A Medical Law Unconstitutional al.

RICHMOND, YA.-In the Hastings
Court Judge Witt decided that the law
upon which DR.. Flower, of Boston, was
tried for the practice of medicine in the
State without license was unconstitu.
tional. The physicians throughout the
State are deeply interested in the case.
Briefly stated, his honor decides that Dr.
Flower cannot be prosecuted, because he
is a nonresident and is only in the State
for a few days. IL DR.. Flower had come
into this State intending gs-to-re-ide here
he would have had to stand the examina
ton required by law.
