casion to stir up G. A. R. feeling by
pointing to the fact that Cleveland
while president had vetoed more PEN
sion bills than any other president,
ard half hour of calumnious de-
nunciation was occupied in the tell
ing Of it. But the sequel he left off,
which is that while Cleveland did
veto more unworthy pension bills.
he granted more than any other
president also, Harrison included.
The frauds were thrown out, but
Cleveland granted the just and hon
est pension claims, and Sheridan
knows it, Let the good veterans
turn back the pages of pension his
tory and look at the record of the
immortal Grant, and by comparison
Mr.. Cleveland will be found at no
disadvantage.
This oratorical admixture of frol-
icsome fun, distorted recitals of in
cidents and affirmations without rea-
sonings lasted for two hours and a
half. The republicans said they
were pleased, as they were in duty
Bound so to say, and many who car
ry an automatic emotional machine
around with them, as was mentioned
before, declared it to be the best
speech they ever heard, though it
may be they have hitherto listened
only to George Baker and Charlie
Goodwin, and then again the dedi-
catory meeting at the what-you-call-
it must not be reported abroad
with the embarrassing tinge and fla
vor of failure, 50 artificial exultation
obtained until way in the night, and
the next day it looked something
like snow. But the general wrapped
himself up in the cloak which was
protected, left US and Capt Walker
is ready to take oath that he was all
right when he got away from Fair
mont This announcement relieved
the court house ring Of personal re-
sponsibility and was a consolation
generally, and the Sheridan meeting
is now but memory.

Go to the polls to-day and vote
for sewerage.
If there is anybody who wants to
vote against it, let him go too.
We would rather see unanimous
vote in favor, but it is well to know
just how many kickers could be
scared up against such proposition
as this.
The proposition presented by
council gives US fifteen or twenty
years to pay for sewerage. That
will give those coming after us a
chance to contribute. And that is
right A system of sewerage will
last for generations. 1t is q per-
manent improvement, and our des-
cendants ought to help foot the bill.
But this generation will get five
thousand dollars of benefit out Of it,
even il they don't pay the whole bill.
We do not believe it will cost
$4,000. All the town ought to do,
or will do, we presume, is 70 run
mains down the middle OF those
streets which terminate at the river
that is, the streets running East
and West. This can be done for
less than the sum named. 1t will
only require five or six lines OF maine
to the river to drain the town, and
we are sure that the lines will not
cost thousand dollars each-they
can be put down for less than $500
each.
There is no Improvement we can
make that will be SO valuable for the
money invested.
Therefore don't forget to vote.
Give it a hearty endorsement, and
thereby say to council "go to work
Immediately, and put in the sewers
before the first freeze"

THE GALLONS CHEATED.
Harry Smooth, the Murderer OF Susie
Ferrels, Commits Suicide ut
ChArIestOWn.

ChArlestOwn.
Harry Smooth was under sentence
to be hung on Oct. for the wilful
and meditated murder of Susie Fer
rels, which occurred at Shepards
town, Jefferson County, last January.
He was in Jail at Charlestown await
ing legal execution, when on We'd
nesday last he committed suicide by
taking dose of opium, but the cor
oner's inquest failed to discover any
means by which he could have been
furnished with the drug.
The murder was most horrible
one. Smooth was of good family
and was a school teacher He was
in love with Miss Ferrels, and had
gone with her for long time, but
she had repeatedly refused TO marry
him. One evening he caught up
with her on the street and placing
his left arm around her waist, held a
revolver to her forehead with the
right, and discharged the weapon.
The girl died in his arms. He was
at once arrested, afterward tried,
convicted and sentenced.
The circumstances leading up to
his suicide, so far as known are, that
he retired at 1 O'Clock the evening
previous in his usual health and
must have taken the drug after re.
firing. There was guard in the
cell with him all night, and there is
great mystery about the conveyance
of the poison to Smooth.
The first intimatiou the guard had
Of anything ubusal was about 4
O'Clock this morning, when Smooth
began to breathe heavily. The
guard called him by name twice, and
receiving no response took hold OF
him and shook him, but could not
arouse him. He then called the
jailer, and physicians were summoned
but after exhausting ever means of
restoration, they were unable to re.
store Smooth, and be died about
o'clock this morning.
Sheriff A. F. Davis and Jailer S.
=. Young testified that they had
been exceedingly careful in guarding
the jail. and last Friday searched
the cell and prisoner They allowed
no one TO sec the prisoner except in
their presence or in the presence of
tue guard or attorney. He testified
that about three weeks ago Smooth
sister was allowed an hours private
talk with him about his spiritual
condition with the consent of the
prosecuting attorney, but that the
jailer's wife searched her before she
was allowed to go into the cell.
When she came out of the cell she
said her brother ought to have a
pistol to protect himself ag ainst the
mob in case the Supreme Court
granted new trial. Nothing was
allowed to go to the cell without the
inspection of the jailer, and no food
from the outside was allowed him.
In some way, however, the drug
was procured and he put an end to
his own life. The body was taken
to his home in Shepherdstown.

If Secretary of War Elkins was
not Confederate, he is placed in a
very uncomfortable position. The
charge was recently printed in the
Register and it is SO pointed and
sustained by proof apparently con
vincing that unless Mr.. Elkins wish
es the people to believe it he will
have to make a strong denial. A
simple denial will not answer, for he
is pat to proof. The Register prin-
ted the correspondence between emf
nent army officers showing that Ell
kins had been in both armies. Now
what kind of man is thisp Elkins
would not go to Washington to the
G.. A. R. reunion. Was he afraid
of his disgraceful war record being
thrown in his face by the good and
true old veteransf II looks that way.

Th e Foreigner Does Not Pay
The Tax.

Th e Foreigner Does Not Pay
The Tax.
If the Republican position is true
that the foreign shipper of dutiable
goods into this country pays the du-
ty upon them. and that the same
is therefore not tax upon the con,
sumner, then who pays the cost ad.
ded to American manufactures by
reason OF the protective tariff? 1t is
a fact that for every dollar collected
under the tariff by the United States
Treasury five dollars at least are
gathered in by the protected manu-
| facturer.
If the tariff does not put money
into the pockets of the protected
class in this country, it is without
protective feature; but as it does
so operate. who does that money
come off of save the last person into
whose possession the protected arti-
Gle goes?
The receipts by the United States
Treasury from customs in 1891 were
$219,522,205. That is the amount
of taxes somebody had to pay upon
articles imported into this country.
Multiply that sum by five and it
measures the contribution made by
the consumers in 1891, to the pro-
tected 'infant industries" of this
country. The result of such multi
plication is one billion ninty, flee
milton sac hundred thousand dollars,
and that is a most moderate esti-
mate.
When we come to consider the fact
that not five per cent, of our popula-
tion are within the protective
features Of the tariff system the
outrage upon the ninety five per
cent. who are forced to pay this enor-
nous tax without any. benefit or re-
turn, assumes huge proportions.
In fact, however, the idea that the
importer pays the tax upon imports
is the worst delusion imaginable.
The consumer pays every cent of it
The foreigner is not SO philanthropy
ic as our Republican brethren
would have us believe If he were
compelled to do so imports would
cease altogether. II you want for

No. 10 l. 0. o. F., held at their hall,
Saturday evening Sept. 18th 1892,
the following was adopted;
WHEREAS, We are again reminded
in the death of our brother, j. N.
Kiger, who peacefully departed this
life at his home in Washington, Pa,
Sept. 4th, 1892, that here we have no
permanent abiding place; that we

Resolued, That we will kindly re-
member (now that he will no more
mingle with us) our deceased broth

SO good, noble and generous in his
character; and being reminded BY
this dispensation of Providence that
we, too, will soon be called to walk
through the dark valley of the shad
ow of DEATH" therefore, let us be

How to Celebrate,

Everybody wants to celebrate the
Columbus anniversary, and every.
body wants hand in it.
There is no better way than fol
everybody to join in parade. Let's
have grand parade of the whole
population. Walk round town and
"holler."
We suggest that the order of pa
rade be 81 brass bands; ~ cadets
of the University; (3) the Oldest
men and women arm in arm;( 4 mid
die aged married people; (5) young
married people; (6) brides and
grooms; (7) the engaged couples that
are to be married soon; e. the IN
married butt discontented); co.
the young ladies and gents not yet
serious; (l0) the children graduated
according to size.
That would be sight worth see
ing. Such sight Morgantown never
saw-her whole population on the
streets in parade: 1t would be
something to laugh at, and to make
heap of fun; but it would also show
patriotism and proper recognition
of the great event it celebrates.
We make the proposition in "blood
earnest" If it could be carried out
it would be great success, and
everybody would enjoy it, and, i,
would be an event in the history oil
the town to be talked about by flu.
ture generations. 1t could be said
that only once in the history of the
town did the whole population, old
and young, male and female. join in
public parade.
1t would cost nobody more than a
walk around town. And there i.
nobody who ought to be too busy,
too dignified or too unapprcciativt
to decline to join parade of the
whole population IN honor of the
discovery of our country. Let's
have it.
