Dut IL any pIoNiuc uQb LOT MS uWH,
and especially for those of his own
house, he hath denied the faith, and Is
worse than an infidel--1 Tim, 5 CHI,
Sv.
The World of the aIst explains why
it does not love the Chairman of the
Ways and Means committee. And
since the cat is out the HERALD is
forced to make the dmende honorable
and admit that the World is right ;
that the Shepherdstown Register has a
personal and not a political grudge
against Mr.. Stewart w. Walker. AL
though we opine the Woyld will agree
that the grudge is Of political origin.
That this most intricate case may be
fully understood we reproduce the en-
tire article, which is as follows.
NO. NOT TRUE.
Thus it appears the green eyed mon
ster affiicts the Register not on personal
but political grounds.-Herald.
Brothers, you are entirely wrong
The Shepherdstown Register is oppos-
ing Walker on personal grounds alone
In an interview with the genial editor
of the Register before he began his at
tacks on Walker, he stated that Walk
er had interfered with the appointment
of relative of his on the State Board
of Agriculture, and that it meant a loss
of two or three hundred dollars yeaI
to him for printing, and that he pur-
posed to roast Walkerevery chance he
got. Walker is innocent ofthe charge,
and even if he was guilty, it shows a
bad principle. In that case it is only
the Register VS.. Walker, but in the
other case you can safely set it down
as the Second District of deceived hon.
est hard Democrats vs. Wirey
Leaving Wilson, j. e., intelligent peo-
pie wired for benefit, left for redemp-
ton of promises, and WilQ)so(o)n step
down and out. The Woykd has TIC
personal axe to grind. 1t did have,
but gave up all hopes long ago, after
being favored with numerous letters OF
falsehood and deception, and going tc
Washington only to find out that he
was lying, not only to us, but score
or more of our good Democratic friends
and workers. We do charge Wilson
with deceit and lying, and can prove
it. The Democrats can idolize him as
much as they choose, but it is an I'M
controvertible fact It's poor policy
for a man. let him be ever so great, to
spurn and spit upon the horney-hand
ed supporters who gave him his Office
Wilson is loved away from home, but
ask of those at home who know him.
The World opposes him, not because
it has any personal prejudice, but
simply in the interest of the party anc
its success. - World.
1t is certainly a sad commentary or
the political status of the Congress Of
the United States, when a man, who
stands publicly accused by newspa-
per, published in his own district, and
of his own political faith, with being
a common liar, is made chairman Of
the most important committee of the
House If Mr.. Wilson is the kind o.
man which the HoyM claims he is, ht
is not the man to represent the Seconc
District.
The HERALD was 10th to believe that
Mr.. Wilson would be made chairman
of the Ways and Means committee
We hoped the free-trade idea would be
abandoned; that Mr.. Cleveland was
not bent on entirely wrecking the
country.
If Mr.. Wilson now puts into effect
the theories he has advocated for
years, the people of this Nation may
as well prepare to meet poverty in its
blacklist form. Ruination is ineyita-
BILE unless all history and experience
is a lie. Free trade means to buy
where goods are cheapest and sell
where we can. If we cannot sell, we
cannot buy, and nations, like indi-
viduals, look out for themselves
Working people and farmers will be
forced to come down to a level with
the peasantry of Europe. Are we
prepared to do this ? If not, let Mr.
Wilson announce that there will be nc
tariff-tinkering. Should he do SO the
great financial problem will be solved
business will revive, and starvation
will not stalk abroad. Will he seizt
the grandest opportunity ever Offered
to man to immortalize himself? w,
shall see.
