The republicans are doing more
|rd work just now than at any
Doe. during the present admins
htioh Killing time and com
|enting on the grave mistakes they
lNipk Mr. cleveland is liable to
mike in choosing his Cabinet is
about the extent ef the work now
being done by the men who are
salaried to keep the machinery of
our Government in repair. A few,
bit is true, remain in Washington
and are trying to polish up the
corners Of a crooked administra-
ktion-places where the friction has
ben greatest-before Grover takes
he helm.
A great majority Of them, how
Ter. are cantering up and down
ne land 10 )king for Job that will
a measure duplicate, in fnan-
z ga way, the one from which they
.twere virtually bounced on the 9Th
* bf Noyem Der last. 1t is now kind
5ly suggested by an informal con-
ference Of Chicago lawyers that Mr..
Harrison be petitioned by at least
a majority of the senators to resign
and that Vice-President Morton, as
President, nominate him to the SUI
preme Bench to. fill the vacancy
occasioned by the death of Justice
Lamar MIR. Harrison has, all
through the administration, shown
that he kept his own personal con-
.yenience under the surveillance Of
a Jealous eve. 1t would now follow
that this action of the Chicago con-
ference will in measure throw a
aamper over the feeling Of admira-
Zion that was at first expressed over
M. Harrison's seemingly corteous
refusal to nominate man to fill
Lamar's place, leaving that duty,
as he said, to MIR. Cleveland, who is
so soon to control. May he not
have mad this in view when he
made that statement, thinking that
he, by the aid of friends, could cap
+ure the nomination., and is it not
possib e that it is to little tune of
his own composition these Chica-
yonians are catering?

GOOD ADVICE.

The Dan Tucker Pioneer Kicker,
the official organ of the Republican
party of Tucker county, gives the
following very sensible advice
alt is understood upon pretty
good authority that q lot of Repub-
lican Federal Office holders expect
the Civil Service outfit to save their
bacon and consequently are working
like beavers to that end. Now II
You are Republicans resign at once.
you have no sympathy for the pres
ent administration You worked
like beavers-or said you dId-to
defeat your opponents. Then don t
run to your opponents with tears i'm
your eyes like whipped baby to It's
mother. BE American citizens. II
you can't make q living go out and
grub, chop cord wood, or fellow any
other occupation, except the hang
ing on the coat tail of the present
administration. You was fairly
licked out Of your boots at the la'e
lamented election. Get out Gtt
mp and dust. Don't whine, bat
resign at once. You have no right
TO hold Office longer. Your pole
did not reach the persimmOn and
You certainly don't want to act the
hog and take il away from the other
fellow. Step down and out and
help to reorganize your party for
the neat battle and give the hungry
Democrats q show"

Henry Beymer, OF Kentucky, has
been appointed Waterman on the

ANNIVERSARY OF ODD FELLOW.
SHIP.

The Celebration OF This Important
Event In kingwood---A Union Meet
Ing OF the Different Lodges In the
County--The GraRd Master TO be
Present.
April Goth will be the 73fd An.
niversary OF the Independent Order
of Odd Fellows in Amcrica--an
order which has grown rapidly in
this State within the past few years,
and which is on as substantial a
foundation as any other secret order
in existence. In this county the
Anniversary day will be celebrated
by union meeting at Kingwood OF
all the Lodges in the county. The
Lodges throughout the county have
been written to and have nearly all
consented to meet here. which will
make the attendance very large and
the exercises doublY interesting.
Grand Master Dayton, Of the State
Grand Lodge, h,s writtes that no
will be present and deliver a public
address upon the subject of Odd
Fellowship in the afternoon of that
day, and will meet with the MEM
bers at evening and exemplify the
unwritten work. This will be quite
a feature of attraction to all mem
bers of the order. The Superinten-
dent of the II. X. & f. II. II. has
decided to sell excursion tickets at
the rate Of 65 cents for round trim
for the occasion, good, of course,
for two days. More definite ar
rangements for the celebration will
be published later on. But as to
the attendance of the Grand Mas
ter, this can be relied upon, for his
letter positively accepting, has been
received by the Committee. 1t is
quite a compliment also to the
Lodges in this county, for Grand
Master Dayton has declined several
Invitations to attend celebrations
on this date from numerous places
throughout tho State.

That Secretary Gresham intends
to be the actual head Of his Depart
meDt was proven by his promptness
IN demanding the resignation Of
DIR. +. o. st. Clair, who has been
Chief Of tho Consular Bureau under
the last three Administration Tor
having withheld certain informa
ton concerning the u. 3. Consul
from the Secretary. There are a
number Of old Bureau Chiefs in the
other Departments who deserve to
be made TO walk the plank for the
same reason. These men have been
in Office so long that they have ar
Togated to themselves authority
which belongs only to the head Of
the Department, aud their dismis
sal would be for the good Of the
service in more respects than one.
In fact, there are few men who can
remain in q responsible government
Office for a long term Of years with
out forgetting that they are servants
instead Of masters. New men and
new methods arc wanted IN every
branch Of the government service.
as must soon become apparent to
every member Of the Cabinet who
exsmiues into the details Of bis De.
partment, aud tho indications arc
that that is now being more thor.

To any one interested in fine
horse flesh, we think that we can
safely say that the finest specimen
Of the call round" horse is to be
seen at the stables of the Preston
County Trotting Horse Breeders
Association, in this town. No dis
paragement is meant to the many
fine draught horses in the county.
This horse, Princo,is a thorough
bred trotting horse. lie is as gen.
tie as any family horse IN the
county, and at the same time as
full Of life and get up as the finest
race horse in the country.
While he has never been trained
by his owners for the race track, he
has made his mile in $40 trotting
in common road cart. This is a
most excellent record, and shows
the speed that is in him. His half
brother we are Informed has a
record Of mile in 2:27, while his
dams brother has a record Of 2:17.
1t is 10 be hoped that the far
mers and other horse raisers Of the
county will look to their interests,
and examine the good points, both
for style and profit Of this horse.
In few years we can raise horses
Of this character at q merely nomi.
nal cost, that to purchase in Ken
lucky, or California, or at the New
York sales would cost as from $500
to $1,000 each. Then why can't ne
sell at the same figures We can.

Circuit Court has adjourned,
after transacting considerable bust
ness, the most of it chancery
matter, as only Que jury case was
tried. The weather has been so
line that farmers wanted to be ut
home preparing for crops and the
State was not ready anyhow for the
criminal cases. 1t ls likely that a
special session will be held in july
to catch up, and give the prisoners
now in Jail a trial. The next regu-

Senator German is right. If there
is to be any investigation Of the
personal record of Senators before
their election let it be general and
