the country having proved him
self too much of a coward to be-

Mr.. Paxton has been dead for
years, but his enmity was turn

died, and this reminiscence is
not intended to reflect upon his
memory, or to renew the bitter
ness SO prevalent at the period

Mr.. Downey, a really well
meaning man, who would not
himself have quarreled over a
newspaper criticism even as
pointed as a thorn, having failed
to reach the goal of his political
ar bition, emigrated from Pied

not heard from him for more
than a decade of years.

A Loss of SIoo. 900 600.

Estimates for the first six
months of this year place the
losses of railroad earnings at
the vast sum of 500, 100000 as
compared with the first six
months of last year. The roads
have striven for economy.
There have been fewer reduc-
tions of wages on the railroads
than in other lines of business.
While the roads have been
striving to maintain wages, they
have also been compelled to look
after dividends, which have been
secured to a limited extent by
leaving much necessary work
undone. About 80 per cent of
the operating expenses have
gone to labor, which is a record
that should make employees very
slow to find fault with the man.

in strikes, replied
mo, / do motif they can be

ed? Yes-yes, indeed easily. !"
In avoiding strikes and keep
the men in a good frame of mind
something more than money is
necessary. You must realize
that the workingman is a man
and that he wants to be treat
ed like a man. In other words,
he wants to be treated precisely
as you yourself enjoy being
treated.

A CONTRAST.

The Homestead strike did
more to injure the cause of Pro-
lection than any other one agen-
cy in this country.
Mr.. Carnegie had been pro
tected in his business, but fail
ed to realize the fact that Labor
was entitled to a share of the
benefits. The cry at once arose
that Protection makes the rich
richer and the poor poorer. A
Democratic victory resulted and
ever since almost everybody has
been growing poorer.
In the 26 years since Mr.. Geo.
NJ. Pullman engaged in bust
ness he, too, has grown wealthy.
According to his own statement
the Pullman Company started
out with a paid-up capital of
81 100000. The assets of the
company are now 1886, 200, 900.
They employed about 6 1000 men
and women. Each individual
has earned for the company
about Sc, OO0-$250 a year profit
to the company for each person
employed. And again, accord
ing to Mr.. Pullman his employees
at one time had 100000 in the
savings bank. In other words
each of these people were able
to save in &c years the munifi-
cent sum of $ll6sl To make the
matter more plain, they saved
in 26 years less than one-half
the amount of the profit accru-
ing to the company each year
for their labor.
Commenting upon the sub
ject, the New York Press says:
"a great strike ensued, not
chiefly because wages were re-
duced once, but because the
company was playing the role
of landlord as well as employer
"a dangerous combination
and refused to reduce rents
when it reduced wages. In one
colossal blunder Mr.. Pullman

IF tinkering is quite puzzling.
Democrats are wont to say: ga
prompt settlement of the tariff
question will give an impetus to
business" Nothing of the kind
was heard when the tariff laws
were being revised by the Fifty
first Congress. Our friends are
in error. 1t is the threat of
practical free trade and the con-
sequent reduction in prices of
labor and other commodities
which causes the trouble.

Shepherdstown Democrats Thought to

To the editor of the Herald.
The following notice appeared
in a recent issue of the Shep-
herdstown Register:
fsATTENTIoN, DEMOCRATS!
"The Democrats of Shepherds
town and vicinity are urgently
requested to attend a meeting
to be held in Firemen's Hall,
Shepherdstown. on Friday July
18th, at 7.3O p. M, for the pur-
pose of endorsing the past course
of the Hon. VIM. L. Wilson in
favor of tariff reform, of encour-
aging him in his arduous eff
forts yet to be made in that be-
half in the present Congress,
and of organizing a VIM. L.
Wilson Club, for effective work
in the coming campaign.

When call like the above
fails to bring enough "congen-
ial' Democrats together in
Democracy's Banner County to
justify the fathers of the call in
holding the meeting, it looks as
though VIM. l.. Wilson will be
our next President q. e., Of the
West Va. University.
The times are surely propi-
tious and every indication points
that the next Representative
from this Congressional District
will be a stalwart Republican.
There is a bitter factional
fight here between the "Old'
and "New" sherifalty tickets
and that is the reason the VIM.
l.. Wilson. meeting failed to
connect last night.
A great many New Ticket"
men would rather vote for a Re-
publican than an "Old Ticket"
man and Uice Uersd.
The Republicans of Jefferson
County were never in better
shape to make an aggressive
campaign than now. Lifelong
Democrats have boldly severed
their connection with a party
that prociaims protection UNI
constitutional and a fraud and
have cast their fortunes with
the Grand Old Party that pro-
tects American labor, whether
agricultural, manufacturing,
mining, or commercial, against |
the competition of low-priced
labor of foreign countries. In
addition to those who have bold |
ly declared themselves for us
there are many others who have
just as stoutly denounced the
Democratic party and sworn
never to vote its ticket again.
Could the Hon. S. B. Elkins
be induced to sacrifice his per-
sonal interests and stand for
Congress, he would sweep the
District like a cyclone, for no
one man in the State has done
more for its progress, develop
ment, and prosperity than he, |
and the people are beginning to
realize the fact. |

4 MARES NEST.

The Wheeling Register OF
Monday sported a special from
| Washington Tor somewhere
else) in the first column of
the first page, with elaborate
headlines: .sElkins in a New
Role Republicans Want to Run
Him Against William I. Will
SON They Are Hard Hard Up
for a Man to Make the Race
Against the Eminent Tariff Re-
former, andAreP Prepared to Move
Heaven and Earth to Win This
Fall. I"
The special conveys the start
ling (?) intelligence that the
Republicans mean to make a
desperate fight this fall to carry
the Second District. To which
we plead guilty in the first de-
gree. We shall not only make
a desperate but a successful
fight.
And then the reason for the
faith that is in Republicans is
given in that wondrous special.
TT is said s.it will be a crushing
blow to the cause of tariff re-
FORM" which is just exactly
the thing we most desire to do
and-"deprive the Democrats of
one of their ablest and most
popular leaders," which is the
finest grade of politics. When
the leaders are out of the way,
the rest is easy.
There is to be a thorough
going, energetic, and expensive
campaign The writer appears
to be thoroughly posted. 1t is
very we'll known that some of
the Register reporters have a
great affinity for news, but
this one forgets that the Herald
announced nearly six months
ago that Mr.. Wilson would be
renominated because Mr.. Cleve-
land had said he must be, andfur-
Their that the big man at the
White House had pledged men
and money to carry on the fight.
Therefore it is nothing more
than natural that the Republi-
can party should either with
draw from the field or else pre-
pare to meet the enemy. Of
course the former contingency
cannot be considered and it is
therefore necessary for us to
find a Roland for their Oliver.
"They will begin their work
early" Startling! The Repub-
lican Congressional convention
is called for the 9Th of Septem-
Der, which is not so powerful"
early.
"The Republicans of real
strength in the district are un-
willing to make the race" says
this interesting special, but it
does not tell who they are. Gre
publicans are in a dilemma I"
They "have almost decided that
in the end they will have to fall
back on ex-Secretary Elkins as
their candidate against Mr.. Will
son." Really! Will this re-
markable vender of news find
the Republican in the Second
District who is not only willing
but anxious to "fall back on"
Mr.. Elkins, pull off his coat, roll
up his sleeves, and fight Bour-
bonism to the death with so val
liant leader?
Why, bless this special cor
respondents soul, the Herald
two months ago announced that
in this end of the district every
body is for Elkins. The senti-
ment is growing. The imam
ayers at Washington" have
nothing to do with it. We feel
that we, the Republicans of the
Second district, have as much
right to have an cable and pop
ular leader" as our friends, the
enemy, and the Herald has not
been at all backward about ex-
pressing the sentiment of the
people, which is that Stephen B.
Elkins is their choice and that
he will be nominated and elect
