HOIST YOUR COL0Rs AND TO THE
'FRONT.'

The news that we have received from all
portions of the Sixth Congressional District
is of the most encouraging and gratifying
character and there Is no longer any doubt
but that our candidate will be triumphantly
elected. Let the Democrats Of old Mont
gomery hoist her time honored colors and
haste to the front with such harmony, en-.
ergy and determination as will enable US TO
give our gallant standard-bearer q round
thousand majority. We have the votes and
it only requires energy, united and deter,
mined action on the part Of our friends to
secure this result. Every Democrat owes it
20 himself, to the best interests of his indi.
vidual home, to the honor and prosperity OF
his State, to the success of his party and TO
the untiring and splendid efforts that Mr..
Williams has made throughout an .arduous
campaign, to see that no stone is lett un'
turned in order to make our victory one OF
which we may ever feel proud.
We have from time to time, as best we were
able, fully discussed the great interests which
are involved in this ampaign-interests

A DASTARDLY ACT.

The dynamite outrage at Laurel Kun, Pa
which by happy chance cost the lives Of
but three victims, where sixty were intend
ed, illustrates the deadliness of dynamite in
the hands OF conscienceless criminals, actu-
ated either by greed or revenge. The inven-
ton OF nitro. gycerine, which constitutes
the explosive principle of dynamite, and
the ease with which it may be manufactured
purchased or stolen, has placed in the hands
of that portion of the criminal class who do
proportion in power to any defense which
the ordinary citizen possesses. The more
solid the structure under which it explodes
the greater its destructiveness, and those ia
milliar with the powers of electricity may
explode it IN perfect safety to themselves.
Fortunately the political Anarchist, who
blows up public buildings, opera-bouses,
cafes and hotels, out of sheer hatred to the
existing order of things, has cut very small
figure in this country, but saie-burglars,
train. robbers and other members OF the
thieving class have resorted to dynamite in
good many instances, and the use OF the
deadly explosive for criminal purposes is
certainly on the increase The Laurel Run
explosion shows how it may be made an
agent of wholesale murder where the mo-
tive exists and men are found depraved
enough to send scores of human beings into
eternity without moments warning
There seems to be some doubt whether this
particular explosion was prompted by greed
or by the race antipathy which exists among
the mining employees of the section. But
whether the perpetrators of the crime were
thievsh tramps or revengeful members of a
different race of laborers, the danger to the
unsuspecting, unconscious victims was the
same.
The increasing frequency of the use of
this powerful explosive for criminal pur'
poses will soon compel the American people,
through their constituted authorities, to
adopt protective measures more efficient
than the law now affords. Just what direc-
ton the legislation for this purpose will take
is not yet apparent, but that this dangerous
class must be so guarded as to render life
more secure all admit, and it is safe to pre-
dict that the most rigid legislation will be
speedily brought to bear in order to have
them banished from our land.

A dispatch from Grafton, w. Va, to the
Baltimore Sun, dated 2Sth ult., says: "The
Democratic headquarters in Congressman
Wilson's district, located here, has been bur
glarized and number of private letters and
political documents carried off. Among the
latter is acomplete list of the contributors to
the Democratic campaign fund and numer-
Gus letters upon political matters addressed
to Chairman John L. McGraw. The work
was done five days ago, but was only given
cut by Chairman McGrsw to-day in an in.
terview, in which he says; while do not
charge the Republican committee as an or
ganization with this crime, it is certain that
that body was beneficiary of the robbery
to the full extent The door of my office
was forced at midnight, the file cases broken
open and the letters and documents alb
stracted and carried off. Twenty four hours
after letter addressed to me by j. j. JOY,
of Elk Garden, and which was among the
papers stolen, was published in the Wheel
ing Intelligenoer. This robbery shows the
desperate lengths to which those opposed TO
Mr.. Wilson are going l have clue to the
thieves and in due time their cases will be
attended to-"

How China Got It's Name.

Upwards of LOO years before Christ
the Chinese were a people ruled by a
dynasty of kings, but there is no au-
thentic history of them prior to the
Chow dynasty. The Celestial EN-
pire" had in it's time borne many odd
names, for it was formerly the custom
to change the name of the country every
time a new dynasty gained control of
governmental affairs. Thus in the an
cient writings we find it referred to as
Hai-que, Cham-que, Han-que, etc, ac-
cording to the name of the ruling non
arch. The true name, according To
Oriental scholars, is Chum-que, which
means 1.-The center kingdom of the
world" The early European explorers,
especially the Portuguese, corrupted
"Chum-que" into ''Chin-que," and from
this word later navigators ''evoluted"
the word China"
