What time our patriot fathers spoke
The oath on freedoms altar sworn,
To wear no more the tyrant's yoke,
This mighty nation then was born.
The thunder Of that lofty vow,
To distant ages sounding loud,
Has shaken thrones, is shaking now
And shall yet shake till all are bowed
The flag of freedom, then unfurled,
Was hailed by millions from affair
The conque ring standard Of the world,
Sublime like in peace and war!
II proudly floats on every sea,
Is honored now on every shore;
1t whispers TO tn oppressed. BE free"
And kind rs hopes unknown before.
God of our fathers, since thy hands
In benediction stretched above,
Fave us advanced above all lands,
Knit us In amity and love.
Let not this brotherhood of states,
By vital bonds made firmly one,
Be ever rent by hostile fates,
Or fratric dal rage undone.
But emulous of things that make
The high example more complete
Teach nations how their chains to break
And soar sublimely to thy feet.

MADRID, October ia panic pre-
vailed at Jerez on Monday evening
when a report was circulated that a
body OF anarchists intended 70 attack
the town. The news spread with great
rapidity and the Inhabitants began to
take steps TO protect their lives and
property. The shops were hastily
closed, windows barred, doors barricad-
ed and valuables were hidden In cellars
or other places OF cOneealment. The
most prominent citizens rushed to the
Mayor and urged him TO issue a call TO
arms. The Mayor then modified the
civil guards and called upon all good
citizens TO defend the city against the
common enemy. A council OF war, COM
posed Of the most influential citizens,
was then held and 10 was resolved TO
send patriots Of the service guards along
all the roads leading TO Jerez in order
20 give due warning Of the approach OF
the enemy and 20 arrest any providers
they might meet. This was done and a
number Of notorious anarchists were
arrested.

The Coal Tariff.
HI1rlsbhLrn Nelne.

Elsewhere we publish an interview
with Col. B. Wilson, taken from the
Wheeling REGISTER, on coal. He is
undoubtedly right when he says that
the tariff on coal can have no effect on
home prices, or upon the prices Of our
coal which goes West. The fact is
that our coal market is West, and as
the NGlC8 has already stated, ne do not
believe that it will make any difference
to our people IL coal is put on the free
list. The tariff on coal enables
coal dealers on the seaboard TO
put up prices to consum-
ers there and Q class of con-
sumers mostly who are least able to pay.
II coal was put on the free list it might
work to our advantage. Under our
commercial treaty with Canada that
country would have to admit our coal
free and that would give US a much
larger market than we could possibly
lose.
Conditions have changed since the
DAYS of jefferson, Jackson and others
mentioned by Col. Wilson. 1t is hard
under present circumstances to make a
tariff on coal. that is not entirely protoc-
tive. II a revenue tariff on coal can be
devised let 1t be done, but If we have to
recognize the protective principle to
put a tariff on IL then let 1t go on the

A United Press Break.

The United Press was responsible yes
tarday for the transmission from ash
ington OF a very silly telegram, which
was published in the Leader in this city
aud will be published in other United
Press papers this morning. This is the
telegram: 1T can be stated upon the
very highest authority that President
Cleveland will adjourn Congress at the
end Of this week If the Senate fails to
pass the unconditional repeal bill. = =
Under the Constitution the President
has the power, IL is claimed, to dissolve
an extra session Of Congress when salts
fed both houses cannot agree upon the
question for which called together.
Such an emination from any news
bureau at Washington is without ex-
cuse. On this point the Constitution OF
the United States says: HE (the
President) may, on extraordinary &C.
casions. convene both houses or either
OF them; and In case Of disagreement
between them, tgIth respect to the time OF
adjournment, be may adjourn them TO
such time as be shall think proper.

absent) of the County court OF this
county, met in special session to-day to
correct an error in the record made at
the last regular session. The error
was this: That 10 granting a license
to S. j. limerick, Of Ravenwoad, to sell
ale. beer and wine, the order was made
to read land ending on the Both day OF
April, 1898" instead of the Goth day Of
April, 1894.
This being the first license OF this
kind issued in this county for about
TWENTY-FIVE years, and in the
hurry and excitement the
court, clerks and attorneys overlooked
the date on the order until court had
adjourned. A special session was called
and met, as above stated, at the Clerks
Office, aud had the order Of correction
prepared and signed, then repaired 10
the Court House, where they had been
preceded by a crowd OF about twenty
Eve women and girls, representing the

about sixty or seventy men and boys,
'dry tipplers," Emrick's friends when
he furnished plenty Of drink, otherwise
when he didn't, and others. After a
song or two by the ladies and several
speeches by the gentlemen, all against
granting license, the court adjourned.

Governor MacCorkle has been getting
thumped pretty lively by many Of his
party newspapers for using his good
Judgment in defense Of a tariff reduc-
tion on coal. West Virginia's interest
in coal is too great to be tempered with,
ana the Governor wisely used his influ-
ence in behalf Of the present rate of
duty. The Governor evidenced better
Judgment in his short address and an
swers to HETEROGENEOUS than ali the
newspaper kickers put together. Tariff
reform is what the people expect from
the Democratic party, but it must be to
the benefit Of the country in general.
