WEST VIRGINIA POLITICS.
Things Are Not Always What they Seem. Almost
Never are in Politics.

Never are in Politics,
[Parkers5urg Sentinel
The man who could moralize like
Jack Bunbsy could coin enough max
inns out Of the present political situa-
ton in West Virginia to last until the
Umbria sinks, or get to shore.
1t may be set down as true that
nothing much is going to be thought
of, or talked about in politics until the
senatorial matter is settled, and that
may require an extra session.
Senator Faulkner now knows that
the more a man sometimes works in
politics the more he don't get amy
anything for it, The fellow that lays
in the shade is just us apt to get the
best meal at the table rs the fellow
that swings lie cradle all day
so sometimes.
The intersection Of john J. Davis in
to the senatorial race Is u diversion
If any extremist is to be elected al the
kings horses cant keep Silly Wilson
from walking off with it. lie is not q
candidate, so they say, but if dark
horse is suddenly to befome a white
one look out for the Jefferson county
bird.

the new deal recognizes the inevitable
in the case OF Senator Kenna, and the
arrangement now made contemplates
the election of Camden to succeed
Faulkner, and Joe Chiffon is to inherit
Kenna's place. This will work all
right in favor Of the first one elected,
but when the election of the first one is
made the combine viii bust, they al
ways do. A spectator at the late DEM
ocratic State Convention in Parkers-
burg had an ocular demonstration Of
this political truth. Don't dicker in
politics unless your pay is to come first.
Said q visitor in the city to-day II
am surprised at what you don't know.
McGraw wants to go to Congress. He
never can do it as long as Billy Wilson
wants to be there. His chance depend
ing upon getting Wilson out of the
way, he is at work to help Billy along.
Ifhe can get Camden and Faulkner en-
gagged in contest finish, with John j.
Davis, Willis Wilson and q lot OF 9th
ers taking a minor part, and they get
near to draw, who would step in so
nicely as happy compromise as WI
SOM Then the coast would be clear
for John to go to Congress. See"

BURNED TO THE GROUND.
The Keuber Picture Frame Factory in Ashes-Loss
About $4,000.

The Keubler Picture Frame Factory in Ashes-Loss
About $4,000.
The Keubler Picture Frame factory,
located on the NJ. NJ. M. & l. Co, adj
dition, was yesterday afternoon de-
stroyed by FIRE Mr.. Keubler aud his
employees left the factory at about
$3.50 o'clock, every thing was all right
at that time. At little after four
o'clock fire was discovered in the fac
tory, but as the factory was located a
long distance from the city water mains
little or nothing could be done to save
either the building or its contents,
which are total loss. The flames
began on the first floor, and fed by the
large amount of dry lumber, which
was stored in the building, soon leaped
to the second floor, and then to the
roof. Within a very short while after
the fire began the roof fell in and the
destruction was complete. Nh. A. f.
Keubler, the proprietor, places his loss
on the machinery, stock aud materials
at about $4,000 with no insurance.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
This industry was an entirely new one
in our town. and was just getting un
der good Roadway. Mr.. Keubler has
orders placed far ahead, and was max
ing arrangements to start in full blast
in a few days.

MONEY IN IT.

A Scheme for the Next Slippery spell-Who
win Try IT,
But few of our people would object
to paying reasonable price to have
the ice removed frem their sidewalks.
Take for instance the thin and yet
treacherous layer that caused so many
falls early in the week, 1t could not
be cut OF, salt scattered over it is said
to ruin rubbers and shoes and no one
can blame the careful housewife who
does not want her her carpets ruined
by ashes dragged from the pavement.
Sawdust is the best thing but is hard
to get. Now here is an idea. Let some
one the next slippery spell get a load
of sawdust and sprinkle it over the
sidewalks charging a fair price for the
job. At dime a pavement there is
big money in the scheme.

STATE SENATOR FINLEY
Says he wiz Vote fsr Faulkner. aad Thinks the
Opposition VIII not Amount to Mach.

Says he VIII vo;e ssr Faulkner. aaa Thinks the
Opposition win not Amount to Mach.
State Senator John B. Finley. of the
Twelfth West Virginia district, was in
Washington Thursday on his way to
visit his father in Virginia. whence he
will proceed later to Charleston. When
asked about the opposition to Senator
Faulkner, Mr.. Finley said he had not
seen enough members of the Legisla-
ture to form definite opinion as to its
extent. IN his own district, he said,
large majority of Democrats favored
Faulkner's reelection, and he was go
ing to east his vote in the Legislature
in accordance with that sentiment He
did not think the opposition to Faulk-
ner would amount to much. He had
carefully canvassed his own district on
the question and found that owing to
Senator Faulkner's splendid fight
against the force bill and general ser
vice to the party, the sentiment of the
people was that he had earned re-
election to the Senate, Mr. Finley
thought the same sentiment prevailed
all over the State and added it wonld
look strange for West Virginia to deny
to Senator Faulkner the same endorse
ment which other States had given to
their representatives in Congress who
had distinguished themselves in the
fight against the infamous force bill.
Speaking Of probable legislation at
Charleston Senator Finley said he
thought the public sentiment of the
State would justify an amendment to
the State constitution providing for a
carefully drawn registration law.

The announcement that there would
be organized opposition to the re-elec-
ton Of Senator Faulkner caused a
good deal of discussion in Washington.
1t ha9been the general belief in Wash
ingtp that Senator Faulkner would
have no serious opposition, and the
ChFleston dispatches caused surprise.
Meh doubt was expressed regarding
tle truth of the report that ex-senator
Amden was in the fight against
Faulkner as it was thought his letter
of last spring withdrew him from the
race. The reports have not disturbed
Senator Faulkners friends and they
express the utmost confidence that he
will be reelected by a safe majority
when the time comes.

for everybody to do the best that may

A new swindling scheme now in pro-

good many. A stranger goes around
the country representing an insurance
company, insures property, particular

with handsome policy. If no fire
occurs the farmer is never aware of the
swindle, but if there is fire he then
finds to his sorrow that the whole af-
fair is hoax. There isnot, nor never
was, such company. The pretended
agent pockets the money and that is

SILLY runners SET AT REST.

President Harrison Physically Well-In the Prime
ofLife
In view of the statement published
that President Harrison's health was
failing, and that he was likely to break
down before his term of Office closed.
Postmaster General Wanamaker was
questioned as to the facts. He said:
THE report that President Harrison
was failing in health must have origi
mated with some one with little oppor-
tunity to know the truth The fact is.
the President is in perfect health, and
has not in four years been away from
his desk q single day from personal
sickness. lie has for months been
oIt in the wilderness Of suffering, and
the shadow Of it fingers for long time
upon a nature that feels as keeply as
his. | would take him to be now at
the very prime, and with the great
business capacity he has developed and
his tireless habits at work he has
been able to accomplish each day twice
as much labor as in his former legal
business life. It is not clever thing
to make an invalid out of a man be-
cause uncommon griefs are not laid
off at the end of thirty days. 1t is
quite likely that Stanford University
is seeking him, so are also a score Of
other things, but until his work is com
pleted here, | donbt if he will seriously
think of future occupation"
Mr.. John d. Beard, won the hand
some Needham organ which was given
away by Mr.. Eugene E. Herring as
premium on shoe purchases. Mr.
Boards guess was 5,127 while the
actual number Of shot was 5,125. The

of the prize was a fair deal.
