MoRGANTowN WEST VIRGINIA. SATURDAY, DECEMBER g. 1898

Yon must be responsible for any
harm coming to travellers either at
your station, or in your charge,
while posting from your station to
the next. If you break the law you
shall be find and imprisonedm
So the roads de farm with its an
tiquated eut-buildings has gradually
developed into the station. The
bonder or farmer, or his eldest son,
has gone through the evolution from
the simplest and most primitive con
dition of little more than lowly peas
ant life in Norwegian solitude, to the
vexatious life of still conducting his
mountain and valley farm and ma
turing and housing his crops in the
brief northern summer, and at the
same time caring for the hosts who
fit by him at breakneck speed in
the efforts to see all Norway in the
selfsame all too brief period. Not
too much should be expected from
such characters and conditions. You
are fairly sure of some things; and
absolutely certain of others.
Whatever these stations may have
been in the days of foot-and KNAPP
sack, travel, when the traveller sat at
meals with the bonder and his ser
wants in the huge smoke colored liv-
ing room, and slept in common bed
with the entire household upon the
same floor, cleanliness is not nearly
universal; hearty and ample food
are not lacking; civility yields rude
yet sufficient and kindly service; and
by little tact and Difference the
soddenness and gravity of these
sturdy folk are transformed into the
very sunshine of genial hospitality.
You may be sure of the right
ing of every error; and GER
tain of an integrity in all dealings,
so exact, punctilious and unvarying,
as to leave no doubt that universal
honesty is as deeply rooted a nation
al characteristic of Norwegians, in
Norway, as it is lacking in all other
travelled lands.

Some treasury statistics point a
moral, if they do not adorn a tale.
Republicans insist that the great
outflow of gold from this country
began only after the Democratic,
victory in Nov. 1892, and they ar
que that distrust of the Uuited
States and the sale of American Sc
curities held by foreigners began on
ly after the Democratic victory.
But it appears the facts are all
against this beautiful theory. The
exports Of gold for the 10 months
ending October. 1892, all of which
were under Republican administra-
tion, amounted to $4,000 900,
whereas during the 10 months end
ing October, 1898, all of which were
snbquent to the Democratic victory,
the exports of gold in excess of i'm
ports were only $9,000,000. In 9TH
or words, $40,0OO,000 less gold was
drawn from the country in the
months succeeding the Democratic
victory than in the months proceed
ing it. OF course the Republicans
will not give up this bit of false
hood. It is valuable in connection
with the tariff scare. They will
probably drop it for few weeks I'M
til the official figures pass out Of
mind,

Politics and Religion.

A few days ago the gentleman
who is said to have received the
nomination for president at the re-
cent Republican primary election in
Ohio" to use the words of very,
very enthusiastic Morgantown Re
publican, was in New York, and on
Sunday went to Brooklyn to attend
well known church with a member
of its congregation with whom he
was staying. The minister was
pleased to see 80 distinguished cit
izen present, and at the close of the
service he arose and, looking toward
the pew in which the Governor sat,
said:
Il could not forgive myself, and
feel sure the members of my con
gregation would not forgive me if /
failed to say that we have Worship
ing With US this morning one of the
most eminent statesmen of the day.
| feel constrained to say that we have
in our congregation that eminent
Christian statesman, Gov. William
Mckinley, of Ohio"
At these words, which sounded
not unlike the language used by the
presiding officer at political meet
ing in introducing the orator of the
day, the congregation broke into a
ringing cheer, while some of the
members elapped their hands and
others waved their handkerchiefs.
Mr.. Mckinley was not called upon
for a speech on the recent republi-
can victory in Ohio, or an address
oh protection from scriptural point
of view but as soon as the congrega-
ton was dismissed the members
rushed up to his pew and forced him
to hold an impromptu reception.
Our readers may find their own
moral in this. 1t is not hard to find.
1t is opposed to the prevailing idea
that at church is the place to hear
the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

the chief changes made by the pro-

structure. 1t is estimated that it
will reduce revenues on the basis Of
the importations of 1892 about fifty
millions, and something more on the
basis of 1898, with an immensely
larger decrease of tax burdens to the
American people. The administra-
tive law is repealed with few

1t should be distinctly understood
that West Virginia Democrats do
not favor a tariff duty on coal. The
Fairmont Indec and the Charleston
Gazette are the only Democratic
newspapers in the state that do, or
did rather, for since they see West
Virginia coal competing with and
beating in price English and Nova
Scotia Goals in Mexico and other
foreign parts they also show a dis
position to come down the tree-or
at least not say as much as formerly.

cents. Breadstuffs, of which we are
