Catarrh Cannot be Cured

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they
cannot reach the seat of the disease.
Catarrh is a blood or constitutional
disease, and in order TO cure It you
must take internal remedies. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and
acts directly on the blood ana mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure is not a
qpaek medicine. 1t was prescribed
by one OF the best physicisns IN this
country for years, and Is a regular
prescription. 1t is composed Of the
best tones known, combined with the
best blood purifiers, acting directly 90
the mucous surfaces. The perfect

Mr.. STEPHEN B. ELKINs expresses
great solicitude for the workingman.
Yet Mr.. Elkins was about the first to
introduce Hungarian laborers into
West Virginia, it is said. And when
he found he could not vote them as he
wished, he discharged them forthwith
and filled their places with negroes.
Oh, he is a great friend of the laboring
man. Steve is.

We think Hon. John T. McGraw
should have the proprietors of the
Wheeling LatelGgoacer arrested. The
receiver of stolen goods stands in
morals and before the law on par
with the thief, and both should be
punished alike. The Latelligencer
stands convicted in the public mind of
receiving the stolen goods and its pro-
prietors ought to be put where they
belong.

THE Hon. Steve Elkins plainly
states that he is for protection because
it is money in his pocket. That's all
right. But he mustn't blame other
people if they vote for William l..
Wilson, by whose efforts wooden goods,
queensware, shoes, gloves, hats, lum-
Der, coal, dress goods, millinery, tin
ware, carpets, hardware, cordage and
indeed almost every necessity of life
is largely reduced in price. Mr.. Elk
ms may cry about losing his extra prof
its on lumber, but the man who builds
a house will be very glad to get it
cheaper. And who kicks because sug-
ar is two cents a pound less than last

Oh, Steve is a sly one,

Mr.. ELK1Ns in his speech here Mon
day night ridiculed the Democratic tar
if bill because it lowered the tariff on
kid gloves, velvets, laces, ribbons, feath-
ers, fine dress goods and other similar
articles, the inference being that ordl-
nary people have no right or desire to
use these things We can assure Mr..
Elkins that our ladies here are not en-
tire strangers to gloves, and, bless their
feminine hearts, just as fond of adorn-
ing their lovely forms with pretty and
tasty clothing and hats as his wife
probably is. And although they may
not be as rich as Mr.. Elkins s.wife, they
have Just as much right to wear nice
clothes-and we will guarantee that
they will 10 :. as handsome in them.
Stevie, YOU made a mistake when you
tried to render unpopular tariff bill
that cheapens ladies' wearing apparel.

SOME of the Republicans of Shep-
herdstown professed to be very anxious
for the Democrats to put up somebody
to meet Elkins and Dayton in joint
debate when they were here. Of course
the Democrats didn't bother about it,
for they knew more about Mr. Elkins
than some of his Republican admirers
did. Steve's political fallacies won't
hold water, and he is too sly an old fox
to give anyone a chance to expose him
on the stage. One day last week Mr..
McAdoo, of New Jersey, was bllled!to
address a Democratic meeting in Key
ser, and it was discovered that Mr..
Elkins was to speak in Piedmont Col.
John T. McGraw at once opened ne
gotiations with the Republican COM
mittee for a joint dicu.sion between the
two gentlemen to take place IN Ped
mont. After the exchange Of many
kilograms between the two committees
it was finally arranged and all the pre-
Iminaries settled, but when Mr.. Elk
ms came and was informed Of the ar
rangement he backed down complete
ly and refused to have a joint discuss
ion. 1t will be remembered, also, that
Mr.. Elkins ran away from Senator
Daniel at Bluefeld week or two ago.
Oh, Steve is sly one.

Mr. ELk,Ns's DECEIT.

In his speech at Shepherdstown
Monday night Hon. Stephen B. Elklns
raised his voice loud in denunciatlon
of President Cleveland and the Dem
ocratic party for issuing bonds soon
after they came in power, thus IN
creasing the national debt. The truth
of the matter is, President Harrison
and the Republican party had bank
rupted the government, not only spend
inc the enormous surplus that Mr..
Cleveland had left in the treasury four
wears before, but actually being obliged
to rake up the pennies to make ends
meet. So near empty was the treasu-
nv, indeed, during the last few months
of Harrison's administration, that the
Secretary of the Treasury actually Or
dered the plates to be made for print
inc the bonds. His letter ordering
the preparation of the plates was dated
February 90, 1898, two weeks before
Mr.. Cleveland was inaugurated, and
is as follows:
To the Chief Of the Bureau OF Engraving
and Printing.-Sir: You are hereby author
lied and directed to prepare designs FOR the
three per cent bonds provided In the senate
amendment to the sundry civil Dill now
pending. The denominations which should
first receive attention are 500, and Sl,oVo OF
the coupon bonds, and 500, Sl.UOO and sIO'VoV
OF the registered bonds. This authority is
given in advance OF the enactment In view
of pressing contingencies, and you are dl-
rected to hasten the preparation of the de-
signs and plates In every possible manner. l
inclose q memorandum for your guidance In
preparing the script for the body of the bond
Respectfully yours,
CHARLES FOSTER, Secretary.
Mr.. Elkins was a member of Har-
rison 6 cabinet at that time. Was this
letter written without the consent OF
the President and his advisers? No
one, of course, will believe it-even II
Mr. Elkins does assert that the Presl-
dent was determined not to issue bonds
and that his cabinet upheld him. By
some hook or crook the crisis was tided
over, but the Democratic President
had to fill up the hole the Republicans
had made.
Mr.. Elkins stands guilty of what
comes mighty near being lie when
he talks about that bond business.

Der of girls use slang, and on that account every girl who reads this may think, Its no worse for me than for every body else" It is just as unlady-like. just as course, just as sinful for you to use t. as it would be if you were the only one in the world who did it, If you will quit it's use there will be one less in the world who uses it. and probably you can influence some one else.
 Just so long as we all think tits no worse for me than for some body else, , just that long must we tolerate it all over the world. Remember my dear girls. you are all character builders You are all helping to make the history of the world.
 The sayings of our great men are often handed down; but I'm afraid it would not do to remember even the sayings of some of our great girls. They most certainly would not appear very elegant on paper.
 Don't try to excuse yourself on the plea that you use such a little slang" That won't do. If you only use one phraZe you are no less culpable than If you used every slang expression in the whole vocabulary. sHCLAYTIE'

That Modern Nuisance. Slang.

What do the confounded things mean ?' There now, know you are hor- rifed, but it was the expression used by one of our society girls in apublic depot, not long since.
 Now my dear girls l don't intend to treat you to d long leacture by any means; but to tell you my opinion, in few words, of siang.
 It is. III the first place, very unlady-like. and in the next. perfectly use,ess. You could get along just as well in this world, talk just as much. and be quite as happy, Lad there never been one slang phraze used How rude, and ungentlemanly you think it is to walk down the street and hear man swear. Now don't you sup- pose he thinks just about the same of yon, when he hears you use slang not only on the street, but ln your parlor. and everywhere else Ii a gentleman must have 50 much regard for the way he speaks in your pres ence, then be careful and give him no cause to ever use Jude language.
 Really the amount of slang used in one short sentence, by some of our girls is so great that it mars the sense completely, and one has to ask the meaning of the whole thing. Instead of aiding you in expressing your thoughts, girls, 1t absolute ly destroys your entire ideaS.
 Our girls get worse every day. They don't seem to realize how many of these expressions they can pick up in such short time. To truly refined ears these things sound terrible. They create as much discord on the brain as false note in piece of music does 10 a sensitive ear.
