him all day in company with one of

young man; few weeks ago The Sun
had notices of three marriages and all
were Pope county men who carried
off Stevens county brides. Now we
don't want Grant county also to make
such raids on our borders; we don't
mind an occasional capture once in a

becomes monotonous. The girls are
wanted at home; but they are sc
guileless that when one of those
smooth tongued gents comes along
the young ladies are captured before
they are able to make any defence.

Great Minds Differ.

The Statesman and Parkersburg
Sentinel, both Democratic papers, do
not agree as to the VanAlen business.
We submit the matter to our Demo-
cratic friends for a decision as to the
merits Of the controversy. In our
humble judgment the Sentinel takes
the more polite view, but read and
decide for yourselves:
A great deal of fuss has been made
over the nomination of ]. J. Van Allen,
by President Cleveland, as Ambassa-
dor to Italy, and which has just been
confirmed by the United States Senate
The fuss is all made upon the ground
of that gentleman having contributed
$50, 900 to the Democratic campaign
fund last fall. His ability to credita-
bly, represent US at the Court of Rome
/ is we'll established, and the fact of his
having given $50, 900 to the campaign
| fund should not bar him from holding
office.-Statesman.
The Statesman discusses this mat
ter from standpoint of profound and
irritating misinforlnation. The facts
i'll regard to the appointment which
seem to be conceded are about these:
He married an Astor many years
ago and thereby came into large for
| tune.
His residence is in England, though
he maintains a summer house at New
port.
He never took any part in our az
fairs, and his first vote was cast last
fall.
He knows nothing of politics Oh
men or affairs.
He gave $50, 900 to the Democratic
campaign fund, and as early as last
April announced that he was to be
United States Minister to Italy. He
has been making arrangements fol
his removal there all summer.
He is untitled by education, expert
ence, habits, association, information
or culture to represent this country as
ambassador at any place.
He paid for the goods and they
have been delivered. -Parkersburg

The Bribery Case.

Judge Arthur I. Foreman, of the
Writ County circuit court, recently
quashed some indictments for bribery
at an election upon the ground, as re-
ported in the newspapers, that under
the law it is no offense to give bride
but decidedly wrong to accept one.
Without knowing anything of the
merits of the case or the reasons that
impelled Judge Boreman to render the
decision, we are most decidedly OF
opinion that it is just about as risky
to give bride as to accept one, and
we beg to be excused from both.
Chapter 5, section s of the Code Of
West Virginia, reads:
"If any person, directly or indirect
ly accept or take any gift, reward or
profit, or any promise, bond, covenant,
engagement, or security of any kind
for reward or profit, under any agree,
ruent express or implied, or with the
intent that at any election, he will vote
for a particular candidate,
and the person who shall make such
gift or pay such reward or profit, OF
make such promise, bond or covenant
engagement or security, or aid or abet
another in so doing, shall be confined
in the penitentiary," etc.

refused to give him any thing With
a wife and number of children suf-
fering from hunger he became des-
perate and upon leaving the store
espied barrel of potatoes standing on
the sidewalk. He took some and put
them into his own basket. When the
storekeeper learned of this affair he
fastened to an alderman and procured
a warrant for the arrest of the man on
the charge of larceny. A constable
proceeded at once to serve the warrant
but the sight which met his gaze upon
reaching the house brought tears to
the eyes of the officers and he returned
without the man. The children were
seated around the table eating the raw
potatoes, their hunger being SO great
they could not wait till the potatoes
were boiled.
When the merchant who procured
the warrant heard of the restitution of
the family he not only withdrew the
charge. but sent generous supply oil
the necessaries of life. This is only a
sample Of the wretchedness and suf-
fering which prevails among the poor
OF that city.

To the Friends of the Herald.

There is a slight change in the make
up Of the Herald this week. At the
request of large number Of our read
ers, especially those who are we'll adj
vanced in years, we have secured and
will publish the Talmage sermons.
The failure to publish these sermons
is about the only complaint which has
reached us since taking charge of the
paper Some have complained of the
smallness of our news type. This, too,
is renedied. More attention will be
paid to State news, and general news
will be given in different form. fun
important, slight mention will be
made; if important. details will be
given. Our very interesting Wash
ington letter will be continued, and
the ladies' department will not be neg
lected Agriculture and stock raising
will be fully treated by the very best
writer's on those subjects. One Of our
most interesting features-local cor
respondence will, as in the past, be
unexcelled by any paper in the State.
1t is admitted OH all hands that the Her
aid has corps of local correspondents
who furnish all the news and dish it
up in first-class style Lot and Eras
mus, witty and wise, and David, the
Scribe. will each continue. Detective
will fire Snap Shots, and "H" will
look after city personals as usual. We
need a few more correspondents in
sections of the county not now rep
resented. In a word, the Herald will
grow brighter and better with each is
sue and as we become better acquaint-
ed with the people we hope to materi-
ally improve the local department,
and to this end we invite all friends to
hand or send us any and all items OF
interest which comes under their OBJ
sesvation. MANY hands make light
work" and we invite one and all to
lend hand and help us make the Her
aid Just what it should be, the newsi-
est paper in this section. Give us all
! the news.

Governor MaccorkIe Sustained.

The protest Of the Governor OF this
State against a reduction of the duty
on coal was met by the free traders in
anything but the proper spirit. The
same parties, to be consistent, should
rail at a delegation from Alabama,
which has been more emphatic if pos
sible than MacCorkle.
When before the Ways and Means
Committee, F. G. Bush, President of
the Mobile & Birmingham Railroad,
said that protection on iron ore and
coal had gridironed Alabama with
railroads and Alabama now annually
produces million tons of pig iron
and five million OF coal.
eff this committee, said Mr.. Bush,
''is to put lumber, rice and sugar, coal
and iron ore on the free list they of
the South might as well give up. 1t
would be the death blow to Southern
prosperity"
Concluding, he made this home
thrust:
"We are not politicians; we are
plain business men. We are Demo
Gratis from principle and we certainly
do not expect to suffer in the home of
our friends. If we do, it is natural
question to ask how long will we con-
tinue to kiss the hand that smites u.s.
"If you bring in your bill with those
articles on the free list, you will, l
think, have every Democratic Senator
and Representative from Alabama
opposed to it."
Mr. Bush is right. Protection has
done more for the South during the
past twenty years than all other
agencies combined. To leave the South
to the mercy of free traders is to I'M
do all that has been done, is to en-
throne Bourbonism, and drive enter
prising, pushing, energetic, business
men from the field.
