A DAILY PAPER.

Right now, at the beginning of our
connection with THE WORLD, we want
to reason with the public on the sub.
ject of daily paper. A great many
well meaning people are heard to say
that daily paper will not pay in Mar
tinsburg. There is no reason why it
should not. Ali towns of the size of
Martinsburg have one or more and
they flourish. The success or non
success of any business depends upon
the way in which it is carried on. The
object of such a paper ought to be,
and under the present management
THE WORLD will aim to fulfil that
mission, to give all items of local
news, to point out the improvement
and advantages of its town, to dwell
upon the good points and keep bad
ones in the back ground. THE WORLD
will make that sort of work speciality.
twill at all times and in all places
point out the business thrift of Mar
tinsburg, and to that end will always
be glad to get pointers. In return for
this is it not the duty, as well as the
interest of every business man to aid
by every means in his power to make
the daily paper of his town a success?
There are several ways in which this
can be done. The first and most vital
is to subscribe for and pay for it, sec
ondly to give the editor all items of
news of interest that may come under
your observation in your daily inter
course with the world, and finally al
ways speak kindly of the paper, if II
deserves to be SO spoken Of. Martins
burg has a number of men in it who
are very much alive to their own in
terests, and it argues great short sight
edness if they fail to appreciate the
fact that their success is largely de-
pendent upon circulating the paper
which advertises their business among
the very people whom they expect to
patronize them. And another thing
which ought to be kept in view and
acted upon is that liberal advertising
is the life of trade. We repeat it
therefore that it is the interest of
every man, woman and child in this
city to help make its daily paper a sue
cess Whatever tends to benefit the
community will help you.

THAT RoMEEY MEETING.

RoLNEY, w. Va, September 20
The meeting which was addressed by
Judge Daniel B. Lucas, at the Court
House yesterday afternoon. is still the
topic Of conversation in political cir
cles in Hampshire county, and has
given rise to great deal Of quiet
speculation as to the object of the
meeting. 1t is undeniable fact that
the persons who are instrumental in
issuing the call are disappointed
Office seekers, and it is also true
that the matter was quietly work
ed up among the followers of the Peo-
pies Party movement, who have some
strength in this county, and allege
that they are making inroads upon the
Democratic ranks.
To the merit of the average straight
out Democrat, the rulings Of Col. Rus
sell on the point of order raised by
Mr.. Gilkeson, show conclusively that
it was an effort on the part Of disap
pointed and disgrunted Democrats, to
stir up strife IN the ranks of the domi-
nant party, and the third party peo-
pie were taken in for that purpose.
The question naturally arises, what
does Judge Lucas hope to gain if this
end is accomplished There are Dem
ocrats who are bold enough to assert
that the Judge is Of the opinion that
the Populist movement will assume
formidable proportions when the time
for the elections rolls around, and his
speech of yesterday was but the initial
step towards assuming the leadership
of the third party movement in this
section. This opinion is not general
however Friends of Judge Lucas
stoutly maintain that he was actuated
by honest motives, and the deep inter-
est which he feels in the great silver
QubSuIOD. ObEtTS art ttJ a. IOSS " give
an explanation of the meeting, but
nearly all democrats are of the opinion
that it was unwise to hold it at this
time
The resolutions were adopted by q
vote of As to 80, only about one-third
of the people present voting. OF the
forty-fye affirmative votes it is said
that one-half were third party men.
The resolutions did not critieise the
administration openly, but urged the
State delegation to insist upon the in
sertion of a clause in the repeal bill,
providing for the coinage of silver. Mr.. |
Gilkeson's resolutions embodied the
substance of his speech, expressing con-
fdence in the representatives of the
State. and eulogizing especially Hon.
VIM. l.. Wilson.

DIR TOWN.

and there are many reasons why it
should be so. Martinsburg possesses
many advantages natural and artifi
cial which 90 to make it most desir-
able place to live and move and have
your being. 1t is exceptionally
healthy, has bountiful water supply,
is so situated with reference to the
mountains as to render it peculiarly
free from storms, cyclones and such
like disturbances and has a rock ribbed
foundation that defes earth quakes
and all commissions of nature. Besides
these natural advantages it has artif-
cial ones in abundance that add to It's
desirabihty as business and manu-
featuring locality Surrounded by a
magnificent agricultural county it has
unsurpassed railroad facilities which
give it easy access to markets, North

which is rarely equaled in town of
its size, and protection against fire
that large cities would not be ashamed
Iof. Well built churches of every de-
nomination, and excellent public and
'private schools. A population of 5000
composed of conservative. level head

ready to welcome and induce people to
settle in our midst, and last but by
no means least as many pretty girls tc

how to reply to your letter of the 10th
inst. 1t seems to me that | am quite

traordinary session, appears to me to
be very explicit. | want currency

the purchasing power of the dollar he
has received for good dollars worth
of work or for good dollars worth Of
the product of his toll. | not only want
our currency to be of such a character
that all kinds of dollars will be Of

nations of the earth. ! want our f.
naucial conditions and the laws relat-
ing to our currency safe and reassur-

not prevent the frightened man from

sound and stable money and condi
ton of confidence that will keep it in

/" Within the limits of what | have
written | am a friend of silver, but |
believe its proper place in our currency
can only be fixed by readjustment Of
our currency legislation and the in
uaguration of a consistent and com
prehensive financial scheme. | think
such thing can only be entered up
on profitably and hopefully after the
repeal of the law which is charged
with all our financial woes. In the
present state of the public mind this
law cannot be built upon nor patched
in such way as to relieve the situa-
ton.
$ am therefore opposed to the free
and unlimited coinage of silver by this
country alone and independently, and
| am in favor of the immediate and
unconditional repeal Of the purchas-
ing clause of the so-called Sherman
law. d" | confess | am astonished by
the opposition in the Senate to such
prompt action as would relieve the
present unfortunate situation.
" My daily prayer is that the delay
occasioned by such opposition may not
be the cause of plunging the country
into deeper depression than it has yet
known, and that the Democratic party
may not be justly held responsible for
lsuch catastrophe.
Yours, very truly,

Senator Stewart, of Nevada, made a

text of his speech in the U. s. Senate
yesterday. Mr.. Cleveland was the
choice of the people by tremendous
majority, to look after their interests,
and the unjust attacks that he is be.
ing subjected to by men who have
only sectional interests in view is a
slap in the face to the great body of

thing for the country.
