Ip.t,set The voters.

We hope the Democratic Exccu-
tive Committee will employ two or
three speakers in the county to de-
liver addresses explaining the
new election law, and giving voters
information that will enable them
to vote.
This is done in other counties and
it ought to be done in this. 1t is
not possible for us to hold mock cleo
tions in this State to educate voters
for the reason that it is unlawful to
circulate the official ticket before the
election. Therefore the voter will
see the ticket for the first time when
he goes into the booth at the voting
place.
He ought to be instructed as to
his rights and privileges before be
gets there. While the details may
be simple enough, voter may be-
come confused in the first attempt
at voting. He ought to know how
far he may ask for information of
the clerks. He ought to know what
he must do in preparing the ticket
if he does it himself. And all these
things are to be learned from the
law, but every voter does not have
access to the law, hence the necessi-
ty of instruction by public address.
ss. There ought to be series of
meetings appointed for this purpose

us yesterday that he had just bought
q lot of fine cattle at 1915 and he
had heard Of offers as low as $266a.
Cattle are probably as low as they
were ever known in this country and
yet republicans claim these are the
best times FOR farmers they have ever
had and that they are wonderfully
prosperous. High protection seems
to be working wonders for the farm
ers.

Calm and Courteous.

The pending campaign has been
an exceptionally calm and courteous
one.
There has been a noticeable alb
sence, even here in Monongalia, OF
undue excitement, and the personal
luminosity which usually attends a
presidential campaign. Political OPP
ponents are attending each others
meetings and hearing both sides of
the discussion. There is little dirt
throwing and recriminatioh. Men
are just as pronounced in their opin-
ions, but they do not forget to be
courteous. At the great meeting of
Democratic clubs in New York, the
other day, a warm resolution of sym
pathy for President Harrison in his
family atiliction, was unanimously
and heartily voted. So it goes all
over the country. Business moves
smoothly and uninterruptedly in its
wonted channels. The issues are Just
as important as they have been in
other campaigns, and voters are
studying them just as deeply, but
they are calm, courteous and respect
full in their attitude toward opposing
opinions
This is great ADVANCE signifi-
cant commentary on our civilization
and our growing capacity for self
government. If we can hereafter
count on the elimination of personal
animosity,. undue excitement, and a
calm and courteous conduct of our
presidential campaigns, it will re-
move the menace, which was more to
be feared than anything else, to the
stability of our republican institu-
tions. 1t shows the effect of educa-
ton, and the liberalizing influence of
general diffusion of political infor-
nation among the masses. When
men have heard both sides of a ques-
ton they are not so bitter in their
prejudices or so dogmatie IN their
opinions. 1t is the Ignorant voter
that is most dogmatic and uncom-
promising in his political tenets. 1t
is the man without argument that
resorts to personal abuse and dirt
throwing. 1t is only a blackguard
himself that is fool enough to attempt
to win votes in that way.
What the campaign will prove to
be before it ends we do not predict,
but the country is to be congratula-
ted on the present signs Of higher
civilization and more manly meth
DDS and manners in our politics.

Who Would Have Thought 1t?

But it is true that the republican
ring of Morgantown is really scared
lest old Monongalia should slide from
the grand old party on the Sth of
November. 1t looks that way judg-
ing them from the almost superhu.
man efforts they are making to hold
her fast. For long while they have
been aroused like hornets nest
when the bush on which it is built
is shaker, land you can see these ring
sters from the old gray headed man
down to the slavering youth, riding
hither and thither day and night,
exhorting the people not to desert
them now in their hour of need. And
telling them that the pesky demo
Gratis are about to swallow them.
This is done with such oratory as
makes the earth hideous and the
heavens blush.
Why are these night howlers and
day decorators so badly scared?
The scare may be real, for we have
seen stranger things happen on cleo
tion day, but to console their troub-
led souls we will say that we hardly
think it is so bad as that, but vet it
may be, for when the people move,
enemies to their best interests had
better stand from under.
The people are moving all over
this great country. They have been
thinking, and now they are acting
From Maine to Georgia, and from
the Atlantic to the Pacific comes the

republican hull to support the dem
ocratic ticket. Philadelphia, Nea
York, Pittsburg, Chicago, Indianap-
oils, and many other great business
centers join in the fray until they
make the welkin ring with the glad
acclaim. Indeed the consensus of
opinion everywhere seems to be to-
ward Cleveland and Stevenson. And
not much wonder after all that our
little ring of Office holders and wan
tiers of office are so much alarmed,
and thrown into almost perpetual
and frantic nightmare.
We opine their sins have found
them out, and this is their dying
struggle. Let us keep the ball roll
ing, and see to it that the people
come out and vote as they feel and
as their best interests dictate and all
will be well.

Ameriea,s Natives Described.

H.
This description. of the natives as they
appeared to the English colonists In
Maryland was written; in 1858:
They are very proper tall men Of per
son; swarthy by nature, but much more
by art; painting themselves with colours
in oyle, Ike darke red, which they doe
to keep the gnatts off. As for their faces
they have other colours attimes, as blew
from the nose upward and red down
ward; somewhat contrariwise. in great
varietie and in very gastly manner.
They have no boards till they come to
be very old, and therefore draw from
each side of their mouthes lines. to their
cares to represent q beard. Their ap-
,parell generally is deere skyns and some
furre, which they wear like loose man
tells; and yet under this, about their
middle, all women and men, ,at mans
estayte, were founde aprons Of skyns,
which keeps them decently covered, 80
that, without any offensel to Schast eyes,
we may converse with them.
b All the rest OF their bodies are naked,
and at times some Of the youngest sort
of both men and women have just moth
ing to cover them. The natural writ of
this nation issyery quick and win con!

sight than we. II these people were
once Christians (as by some signs we
have reason to think nothing hinders it
but want of language), it would be a
right virtuous and renowned nation.

Laughter.

In his "problems of Health" !"
DR.. Greene says that there is not
the remotest corner or little inlet
of the minute blood-vessels of the
human body that does not feel
some wavelet from the commissions
occasioned by good hearty laughter
The life-principle of the central
man is shaken to the innermost
depths, sending new tides of life
and strength to the surface, thus
materially tending to insure good
health to the persons who indulge
therein. The blood moves more
rapidly and conveys a different
impression to all the organs of the
body, as it visits them Oh the
particular mystic journey when
man islaughing, from what it does
at other times. For this reason
every good hearty laugh in which
a person indulges tends to lengthen
his life conveying, as it does, anew
and distinct stimulus to the vital
forces.

How they Robbed the Marquis

In the old range cattle boom days,
when money from foreign lands was
pouring into the west like water, there
were q good many sharp tricks prao-
ticed in delivering cattle. It b recalled
that the Marquis de Mores, who tried to
cut such conspicuous figure as revo-
futionizer Of the American meat trade,
and who later became notorious as q
duelist, was badly sold. Wmis In Da-
kota he bought 10000 head OF cattle
from two Englishmen. They were first
class cattle and cost forty dollars shead.;
When these two Britons delivered the
COWS they worked one Of the neatest
"skin" games that was ever heard OF.
Medora, you know, sits in valley, with

Well, the Enghshmen ran 5000 head

for 10000. The way they did it,wasby
running the same 900 twice around the
hill. De Mores never 'tumb1ed" until

Two Important Traits.

Last evening I was talking to q
man of years aad wisdom, who
accumulated fortune from his
business experience; man whose
name is at the head Of one Of, the
greatest commercial houses in New

sHonesty, first" said this mil
lionaire merchant; "then, thoroug-
ness"
And the more one thinks of this
simple statement, the more fraught
with wisdom will it be found.
The great value of thoroughness
is understood and appreciated by
just about one or two young men
out of every ten in business life
to-day. The tendency with the
average young man is to "rush"
things, to get a thing through, no
matter how 1t is done. 1t is the
end he seeks, forgetting that some
people are apt to examine into the
means by which some ends are
attained.
It's net al all surprising to me
why some young men do not sue
cesd in business when / see the
methods they adopt to attain sue
cess. They want to succeed, but
they do not want to do the work
necessary for success. They want
large salaries, good positions, but
short hours and little to do, and
even that little they will not do

The Best Crop.

The best crop Of cotton reported
at this Office was made by b. A.
Wingo near Inman. He planted 8
acres with The Bahama seed. This
is alarge boil, early variety. He
made II ,491 pounds ofseed cotton.
The weight of lint was 4,022
pounds. That was a-5Q2 pound
bale to tbe acre: There were about
~260 pounds of the top crop to
gather when his report:was made.
He used 5 sacks of the Rasin Com
pany guano, 2 sacks of CRANKY acid
phosphate and $50 bushels of cot
ton seed. Heputin the cotton seed
with about half a sack of guano
and beded on it. He ran in the
balance of the commercial fertili-
ger with the, seed whom he planted.
He cultivated rapidly: going over
his cotton every week if possible.
