Listen to my tale OF woe
They feared it wouldn't last for their repast;
Listen 10 my tale Of woe.
And they cried boo hoo. lest they should fast,
While belors their eyes its emerald flashed;
Listen TO my tale Of woe
But they got soms melon and ate with grin

And looked Tor more as IL sure 10 win;
Listen 10 my tale Of wos!
Thenthe Bsss took stride at the stocks high

And dropped "a lot on the selling side,
And skipped the town where bis chums abide

Where the sharks are looking ont for prey

New MARTINsyILLE, December 81
The many friends Of Mr.. e. Robinson,
10 Wetzsl county, w. Va, take special
pleasure In recommending his appoint
ment to the United States Marshalship
for the District Of West Virginia.
1t was only at the earnest solicitation
of his numerSus friends that be consent
ed TO make application FOR the position.
Mr. Robinson is a modest, unassum-
ing gentleman, large hearted, broad
views, liberal minded, with clear con-
ceptions Of true Democracy. His fdel-
ity 10 his party is unQuestionaole. In
every campaign he is found in the FORE
front Of the battle. Many unchroni-
cled trophies were his in past, as well
as the late campaign. In the opinion
of those who have a right to know he,
perhaps, contributed more to the sue
cess of the Hon. John o. Pendleton in
the late election than any man in the
First Congressional District. 1t is a
well-known fact in the Atkinson
Pendleton contest that Mrs. Robinson
left his business in the hands Of clerk
for weeks and without compensation
gave his whole time 10 the interest OF
Mr. Pendleton In that memorable con-
test.
NIr. Robinson is known as straight
forward houest man ia business and
politics. He is eminentlY qualified to
fill the position be seeks with credit to
himself and 20 tGe satisfaction Of all
parties. In good appointments to Office
the Democratic party can better demon
strate its fitness to rule and Will be the
means OF giving it long lease Of
power
We trust it will be the pleasure OF
the new administration to honor the
good old Democratic county of Wetzel
with the appointment Of E. l.. Robin
son. WETZEL COUNTY,

THE IRREPRESSIBLE CONFLICT

In a momentary burst of candor,
Henry Watterson, editor of the Louis
vile Courier-Journal, wrote:
1.-THE conflict between free trade and
and protection is an irrepressible con-
fiict. 1t has taken the place in Amer
lean politics occupied in past times by
the irrepressible conflict between free
labor and slave labor"
Mr.. Watterson's heart is stirred with
genial warmth at the resemblance
between the Chicago conventions tariff
plank and the section bearing on the
tariff of the constitution adopted by the
Confederate states. Slavery was the
cornerstone Of the Confederacy and
free trade its keystone. The irrepressi-
BILE conflict over the one has been set
tied by its eradication as will be the
other.

A Portuguese boy in Malacca pub
lie school was told to write a compost
ton telling all he knew about the Eng
lish. This is what he wrote, the spell
ing being amended except in the one
marvellous word "docut," which means
dogcart:
English is very proud and very white. They
are mostly governors, schoolmasters, police
men, magistrates, and few are lawyers and
doctors and banks and many other things.
They never work. They wear hats and boots
and ride in docuts. Some English goes TO
church, but only once. They are clever ten
mis- and ball games and drinks much brandy
and other things. Some are married. They
eat much quantity Of many things. One Of
their great delights smoking cigars and
shooting and raining coming home in IL.
English Is clever at all things. My father says
Portuguese is black and ugly and catch fish,
but English is white and pretty and eats fish
what is caught. Father is black and ugly, but
making nets. English is very fierce. II any
body does something they swear dam. English
women Is few. They ride and play the music
and sing and make faces. II is easy no work
nor little houses. don't know any more Eng
lish. That is all know.
The small community of Englishmen
in Malacca looks upon the circulation Of
this composition as a very bad joke, but
the residents elsewhere say that it is 80
true that If this Portuguese boy could
only be taught spelling he would prove
q second Rudyard Kipling.

The New Army Rife,

Six years ago Professor HELLER, Ger
man experimenter, announced to the
military world that a small bore rifle,
30-caliber, which he had invented and
which carried a bullet weighing 225
grains, charged with thirty-three grains
of powder would outshoot any war small
arm in the world. The Germans did
not believe him till they tried his gun.
The German army rifle was of 45-cali-
Der, and large bore guns were In use in
the armies of the world. The conse-
quence of Professor Hebler's discovery
was that all the countries had to recon
struct both their ideas and their army
rifles. The United States has been al
most the last to take the matter up and
make move to change the large bore
for small one.
General s. V. Benet, who retired for
age from the post of chief of ordnance
of the United States army last year, has
been actively working for the adoption
of an improved service arm for long
time The war department board of
magazine arms has completed a series
Of tests and made its report. For the
requirements of the army magazine
rifle was necessary. At the same time
it must be such an arm that it could be
used as well for a simple breechloader.
A gun is thing which is known to play
havoc with the human system, but it is
not generally supposed that gun itself
has a system. 1t has, however, and its
system is that part of it which remains
after you take away its stock and bar
rel. An appropriate system" of com
bined magazine and single firing was
what the board of arms began looking
for in an army rifle.
They made fifty-three trials with as
many different guns, no more than two
or three from America, nearly all for
eign, even Japan sending us a polite
kind of army rifle for trial. After tests
as severe as any ever recorded the board
finally made its decision public. 1t was
not the gun of either Germany, France
or any Of the nations with huge stand
ing armies that the choice fell on, but
the rifle in use by the military force of
little Denmark-the arm known as the
krag-JGgensen rifle. The report says:
After a-csreful examination the board are
unanimously Of opinion that the arms in
which the magazine can be changed and then
held In reserve while single firc Is Delivered

Aleck went to sea at the age of thir-
teen, and soon became noted even among

by the profession" His achievement
on the Manhattan Athletic clubhouse in
New York was the wonder of the time.

If Behanzin OF Dahomey carried out
his usual rule, his kingdom is now
stripped of the best fghtersi it ever had
the famous amazon regiment. When
the amazons have been defeated and
driven back, Behanzin's custom has been
to cut off the heads of all the survivors
of the fight. This besotted black savage
believed his warriors could whip the
French army, and he had to find out his
mistake with the loss of 200 of his SOL
diers. The defeat of his Dahomeyans at
Dogba is one more step to the occupancy
of the dark continent by the white man.

CROW SPEAKERS

The Democratic speakers who have
visited the Bellingham Bay cities, not
excepting the Hon. James Hamilton
Lewis, with uniform accord have failed
to discuss the issues and principles of
the campaign, but, on the contrary,
have shown the keenest scent imagin-
able in searching for the minutest flaws
in the private or public life of the can
didates on the Republican ticket, and
Haunting whatever they can possibly
magnify into an error before the people,
until every selfrespecting man and
woman who hears such speeches feels
outraged and insulted by them. Ex-
cuse it as you may, it is the province of
the crow to pass by that which has life
and health and feed only on that which
is putrid and decaying. The scav-
enger bird may be a necessity, but it is
none the less defling and disgusting.
1t is prominently right and just for
the members of an opposite party to
criticise the public acts and legislation
of their opponents, but to entirely
ignore the discussion of party princi-
pies and cause an entire campaign to
turn upon personal abuse and tearing
down of individual reputation is a cow
ardly and degrading outrage upon all
decency and manhood, and deserves
nothing but scorn and rebuke by every
citizen Of the state, irrespective of party
bias. 1t is the crow nature asserting
itself. 1t is mere struggle for exist
ence by feeding on that which putrid.
That the gentlemen on the Republican
ticket are such inhuman and defiled
wretches as the Democratic speakers
assert is a contemplate assertion of
untruths, springing out of a petty greed
for office, and occasioned by a pitiable
lack Of legitimate and intelligent cam
paign material.

YOrk's Trousers.

In Europe there is always a danger
from typhus fever that we escape in this
country. We have tariff debates, but
no typhus fever to speak of, thank heav-
en-. In Europe, however, if one wishes
to make scare he has only to hint that
the fever exists in a locality where it
might endanger some of the nobility or
royal family. Such scare was created
recently when Miss Hicks announced
in speech made before the trades con-
gress that the Duke of Yorks trousers
had been made in house next door to
house where were fever patients. Of
course the trouserer to Prince George
Indignantly began denying of it, but
the lady stood her ground, and added to
her former statement the one that she
herself had made the Prince of Wales
own trousers in her little tenement
room where she ate, slept and lived.
1t was the wicked sweating system
that Miss Hicks was exposing when she
made public her facts. At an enormous
price the royal tailor obtained the right
to trouser the royalties. Then to make
royal profit he gave the work out to
poor women in tenement houses. Per-
haps even some Of our American iron
and oil nobility get their garments
made at tenements where cholera exists
or has been. Who knows2 At any
rate this tenement trouser question may
well become an international one.

In India and South America there is a
beautiful little tree which bears rough
leaves and very sweet scented flowers
that open in the evening and fall off at
the break Of day. This has caused the
tree to be looked upon as the sign of

the "sorrowful tree" It seems sad that
the pretty sweet flowers should bloom
