The Register" Right.

/ am pleased to notice the stand the
REGISTER takes in regard to the State
University at Columbia. The whole
tendency of the times is toward, what
most of us are constantly depreciating,
State socialism. 1t is high time to
call halt. If one goes to the Old
World he will find all the old and rich
schools, once endowed by charitable
persons for the poor, crowded with the
children of the rich, or even blue
blooded aristocrats; and so here the
higher schools, maintained by the
sweating taxpayers, are used mainly
by the rich. A public school system,
like public road system, seems to be
a necessity; but as long as the taxes
are taken from labor we can no more
afford high State Schools than we can
afford really good, or macadamized
roads generally. And even if we strain
point and found them, it is only the
children of the comparative few, the
rich or the well-tO-do, who can afford
to attend them. Had we anything
like an equitable distribution of wealth,
so that tho masses could take advant-
age of such institutions, the case might
be different; but even then we could
afford to improve our district schools
so much the State schools would not
be necessary. The whole question
recurs, then, to the primal one of the
distribution of wealth; and the best
plan would be to shut up these expen-
sive institutions until we can make
government something better than a
thinly disguised system of legalized
robbery through the pretense of taxa
ton FARMER.

MARK TWAIN believes that Ameri-
cans become mad with hatred of Eng
land in the years when Presidential
elections are held, ssbecause we love
the Irish most vociferously on the house
tops and curse them under our breath
in the cellar" The truth of the obser-
walton becomes more apparent when
one stops to remember that the ele-
ments which formed the KnowNothing
party in the fifties were the bitterest
haters of Democracy then, as they are
generally the strongest adherents to
Republicanism now.

THE following letter finally settles
the question of the candidacy of Mr..
Blaine for President:
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Hon. J. S.
Clarkson, Chairman of the Republican
National Committee: My DEAR SIR
am not a candidate for the Presidency
and my name will not go before the Re-
publican National Convention for NOM
inatiou. / make this announcement in
due season.
To those who have rendered me their
support / owe sincere thanks and am
most grateful for their confidence.
They will, am sure. make earnest eff
fort in the approaching contest, which
is rendered especially important by
reason of the industrial and financial
policies of the Government being at
stake. The popular decision on these
issues is of great moment and will be
of far-reaching consequence.
Very sincerely yours.
JAMES G. BLAINE.

ers held that the State should be the
creature of the citizen, and not his
masters painfully apparent to al
who read and understand. The Ohio
legislature has been petitioned to take
land and build houses, the cost of con-

trust, are generally fresh from the pa.

not the degenerate sons of patriotic,

The Piedmont Sentinel thus chroni-
cles singular accident on the railroad
last week: There was wreck on the
Iron Mountain road near McKinzie
bridge last Monday morning which was
a very novel one. A freight train run
ming from Gad's Hill to Piedmont ran
into itself and smashed up several cars
loaded with freight. There were two
or three cars of flour in the wreck.
The accident happened by the train
breaking in two. The grade is very
steep and the train runs down without
steam and with the breaks on. The
front part of train was checked from
some cause, reaching the foot of the
grade, and the part that broken loose
dashed into it and demolished the back
end of the train"

+ THE HillsborO Mirror eXalts its voice
and cries: The discussions in the
Republican ranks in the City of ST.
Louis, between the Silk stockings and
the Filleyites, has kept Missouri out
of the Republican column for many
years" If this were so, we'd say twas
pitiful, twas wondrous pitiful. But,
in our humble opinion, it is the recOl-
lection of what Missouri was when she
was '.in the Republican column" that
prevents her returning to it. Filley
and Anti-Filley ructions are but fun for
diversion.

SIX hundred and fifty thousand dol.
lars, less than year ago, was given to
the State University. We said then
that this great sum would not in the
least abate Columbia's cry of "Give,
giver' Like the leech's daughter, she
is Unsuitable. The demand is not now
for merely sufficient funds to replace
the building lately destroyed by fire;
but those gentlemen who know a good
thing when they see it, and are never
backward in asking for it, are glibly
talking of "a structure more worthy
this great State and her intelligent peo-
ple." Surely! For everything goes
when them asses are at hand to carry
the burden.

Underhand Methods Contem-
plated.

AS a possible basis for a rep
etition of the legislative monkey
business of 1888, when Mr.. Elem
ing was declared to have been
elected the governor of the state,
although he failed to receive a
plurality of the votes, a Demo-
cratic cry of fraud has been al
ready raised as regards several
counties which were close four
years ago, and which promise to
be so much "closer" in Novem-
Der that they will give the Re
publican candidates a majority.
There have been already laid the
foundations for a big kick ON the
returns, as certified to by the
election officers, by the Demo-
Gratis of more than one county in
case the Republican state ticket
obtains a majority, and there
will be an attempted repetition
of the 1888 method of carrying
the State for Col. MacCorkle if
he should be beaten by a few
hundred votes by Mr.. Davis, the
Republican candidate. The
method served the Democracy
well in the last state campaign,
and they are taking no more
chances than they have to.
Should the Republican state tick
ct have a majority, while the
legislature remains Democratic
by few votes, lookout for an
other contingent process when
the body meets in January. The
Democracy in West Virginia in
tends to win by fair means if
they can, but they intend to win
at all hazards.

CLEVELAND'S LETTER.

1t is requiem instead of an
eXultation, a dirge instead of a
hope. Contrasted with Presi-
dent Harrison's letter, it is pitt
full. President Harrison gave
facts and figures. Mr.. Cleve-
land gives adjectives and phrases.
President Harrison discussed the
whole political situation candid
ly and fairly. Mr.. Cleveland
hides behind lot of words.
His few sentences on the
Force BILL" his balanced phrases
on the currency, his perfunctory
illusions to civil service reform,
his decidedly impertinent refer
ences to pensions and his few
other bids do not, with all their
adjectives, obscure the very
startling fact that he has not
said a word about the demand
of the Democratic Convection for
the repeal of the tax on state
banks and for the return of the
country to wildcat currency
and all its Generalization

taxed two-thirds it's value. In

Hon. Jas. NJ. Beck, of Penn
sylvania, the law partner of Har-
rity, spoke his say to the Democ-
racy of Mineral county. 1t was
the same old story, but not so
well told as we have heard it.

efforts to save the democratic
Free Trade Ship of State in the
good State of West Virginia. The
5000 ringers " in West Virgin

than anything else, and at Mr..
Faulkner's speech at Smithton,
it was nothing but the "foree =
bill and the negro supremacy,

sistency, thou art a jewel =

York, Sheridan, uttered more
solid facts and truths in ten min.

ten hours. He was in Ireland
and England and spoke from ex.
perience. The people felt that
what he said was true.

Presentation and Banquet.

Tuesday evening a very enjoy
able and gratifying event took
place at the Entler House, Shep-
herdstown, where the friends of
Mayor John R. Ray made a pres
entation of a handsome gold
headed cane, in appreciation of
his services and merits as Mayor
of the town for the seventh term,
and as a public expression of
their friendship and esteem. The
committeein charge were Messrs.
John H. little, DR.. Butler, J. D..
Billmyer, U. S. G. Pitzer, and j..
F. Thompson. The Shepherds
town Band furnished excellent
music. Mr.. Pitzer made the
presentation address, Mayor Nc
Glincey of the Ferry receiving
the present on behalf of Mr..
Ray, followed by Rev. w. D.
Nicoll and Mayor Ray himself in
very appropriate speeches. Then
came a grand banquet, served
by Mrs. Reynolds, Mrs. Shepherd
and other ladies. The speakers
were Messrs. Geo. NJ. Bowers, U.
S. Grant Pitzer, l.. w. Gerhardt.
d. w. Shaffer, j. G.. Frazer, F..
V. Aler, V. w. Kittle, j. F.
Thompson and H. Son,ers. The
entertainment was complete in
every particular, and quite a de-
lightful time for all present. 1t
was an event in the life of Mr..
Ray long to be remembered, and
an expression of public favor and
friendship richly deserved. We
hope many years Of service and
usefulness may yet be in store
for all.

Stuff for Trnusars

Mr.. James Moons Experience Buying
STUFF for Trousers.
Here is free trade item that will in
terest the venerable James Moon. who
has retired from his farm near Lake
vile and lives in the suburbs of South
Bend. On Jan. 10, 1859, in those good
old Democratic days when Buchanan
was president and there was no Re
publican robber tariff, MIR. Moon came
to South Bend from his Union township
farm and bought material for pair of
pants. All wool goods were then so
high priced that he bought satinet, a
cloth made Of cotton warp and wooden
filling, which is rarely sold in these DAYS
OF low priced all wool goods.
Mr.. Moon bought 81 yards of satinet
at IS cents yard; IL yards of drilling
at l218 cents a yard, IA buttons for IA
cents and skein of linen thread at 5
cents; total, So, He then had to nav
for having the pants made by tailor,
or get them made at home. Today
under protective tariff, he can buy
satlnet at 90 cents yard and less. He
can buy pair of ready made satinet
pants from $1.25 to 81.
The Tribune has not trusted to Mr.
Moons memory for these prices, but
taken them right from the merchants

the time he made the purchase. South

A BUSINESS MAN.

AS every voter knows, one of
the highest requirements to fill
any public office successfully and
satisfactorily, is good business
qualifications. In no county of
flee is this qualification more es-
sential than in the sheriff S office.
1t is necessary to protect the
peoples interests, the county's
financial reputation, and the in
cumbent's official and material
welfare. The Republican candi-
date possesses this qualification
imam eminent degree. He has not
been standing around doing
nothing, but has been working
for himself and for the business
interests of his town and fellow
citizens. Mr.. L. G. Gerling is a
native of Martinsburg, for 10
years a successful business
man, starting for himself at IS.
He is strictly a business man, no
politician and no office-seeker.
He will conduct the office, if
elected, ON safe and economic
principles and with the best and
most deserving assistance that
the county possesses. He served
very creditably as councilman
and was elected by big major
ity. He is a director in several
building associations, treasurer
of the hose factory company, di-
rector in the Peoples Bank, and
interested in the welfare of the
town and county as well as any
citizen or farmer. He represents
the people and the Republican
party, is their choice and candi-
date, and deserves the cordial
support of all.

AS an illustration of the
Democratic speakers estimation
of the intelligence of the Mar
tinsburg people Saturday night,
he said the Mckinley bill did
nothing but cheaper a few shod-
dy goods. The audience were
dressed better, more comfortable
and cheaper than any people
ever were. Our merchants sell
goods cheaper than they ever
did. The false cry of Democrats
about higher prices on hardware,
tinware, &c, which they had to
resort to under the Mckinley
law, all proved the want of hon
esty and truth, Never was so
much and so cheap sugar used
as under the Mckinley bill. His
argument that a merchant can
take 5000, pay 500 to cross the
ocean and buy more goods in
England with the remainder, fell
flat of convincing any body of
the propriety or profit of such a
transaction. In England that
500 comes off of the paupers
who starve by the millions in
vice, ignorance and wretched-
ness, that aristocracy may live
on the fat of the land and dress
in the latest and most fashiona-
BILE goods. In America that 800
SdUed would have to come off of
our laborers,-it would mean less
rent, less purchases from store
and meat shop, from printer and
preacher. Cheapness is poverty.
Poverty is ignorance and crime.
Ignorance and crime are the
roots of anarchy and revolution.
In Europe the king and nobility
have fallen the next turn down
goes the aristocracy. If the
American people are ready for
cheapneSs, pOUerty and crime,
let them for Gods sake vote the
Democratic free trade ticket of
the Faulkners, Becks, Wilson's,
ct al.
