Senator Elect Gramm, of this Sen
atorial district, is out in an inter
view favoring the election of Elkins
to the U. S. Senate. He don't even
seem to remember that there is q
candidate right in the district which
elected him. The Parkersburg Jour
nal, always heretofore great friend
of Hon. John A.. Hutchinson, of
Parkersburg, is out for Elkins with
fervor that covers columns, and at
the same time Mr.. Hutchinson is an
avowed, announced candidate, nat
urolly looking for the support of the
Republican paper of his own town
and surprised beyond measure that
he does not receive il. This news
paporial dalliance with, the flesh
pots of Egypt Steve, is palpable. 1t
10 as awful as palpable and as dis
honorable as awful.

They will stPermit, without Protest.

stephen Is. ElklnS mas invented
unique method of throwing the
switch to sidetrack Judge Gof, but
it is easy enough to see through.
Here it is in an interview he gave
out for publication at Baltimore:
There are several candidates in
the field besides myself Referring
to the candidacy of Judge Nathan
Golf, Mr.. Elkins said he had not
heard directly or indirectly from
Judge Golf or any of his friends
that Judge Golf intends to enter the
contest at is almost certain to
follow" he continued, that, if Judge
Golf is selected, President Cleveland
will appoint Mr. William L. Wilson
as his successor on the United States
Circuit bench. Now the question
arises, will the people of West Vir-
ginia be satisfied to permit this va
cancy to occur for Mr.. Wilson's ben
efit2"

Organize Now

The Democrats Of Monongalia
county should begin their organiza-
tion for 1896 now. The executive
committee would do well TO hold a
meeting at an early day and adopt a
plan of work. This, of course, will
require some labor and some expense
but that is the price of success in
everything. A permanent headquar-
tiers would be important and would
bring in many members who other
wise would probably never join in
the councils of the party There are
patriotic men who are willing to help
with the expense and others who are
willing to work. Let it be tried.

What Fools They We're.
Wetzel Democrat.

This year the Republicans could
have elected anybody. Generally
speaking, it is only in years when
a party can elect anybody that it
can elect its best men
Cast your eye over the Republi-
can party of w. Va, behold its chos-
en-, lately elected leaders, and then
contemplate, if you can, without
emotion, its gigantic Might Have
Beens, who are relegated to the dis
NAL shades. Worse than this, these
conspicuous accidents are all repeat
ers. No danger Of them becoming
disguised with office, not bit of it.
From this day on the size of their
hats will bear no relation to their
necessary brain covers. But they
are there Moriarty and unless the
Democrats pick them off they are
there to stay. What fools the Re
publicans were, at last.

1t has been given out at Washing
ton that if Attorney General Olney
resigns at once the place will be ten
dered to the Hon. w. L. Wilson. 1t
will be remembered that this is the
man whom the Republican calamity
howlers have "forever retired to pri-
vate life" because he suffered tenn
porary defeat for seat in Congress.
We admit that the calamity bowler,
bulldozer and political jobber got in
their work but the most important
question about that is will it stick ?
A man of w. L. Wilson's ability don't
leave the ring for such feather weights
as manipulated the Republican cam
paign machinery in the Second West
Virginia district.

I6 TO is the Score that made Us All
Feel Bad.

The w. V. g. foot bail team met
their second defeat Of the season at
Petersburg in their game with Ma
rietta which had been in antieipa

of the game is a surprise to the team
and when the score was announced
TO a faithful crowd of enthusiasts
outside of the telegraph office on
Saturday night there was nothing
but expressions of hearty regret
The team left on Friday at noon
with about twenty five OF the faith
full and DR.. Hartigan and Professor
Armstrong as chaperons. They fully
expected to win the game, although
handicapped by the absence of two
of their regular players, Beall and
Carrigan But they didn't win and
that is all that can be said in apoln.

great measure the cause of the jolly
good time the boys had. Because
they lost did not make them less

Defeated, bat not Conquered.
Baltimore Sun.


Hon. John T. McGraw, the Chair
man of the Congressional Committee
for the Second district of West Vir,
ginia, has not relaxed in the least in
his admiration for Hon. VIM. L.
Wilson. In letter to friend, in
closing some photographic pictures of
Mr., Wilson, made from cut which
originally appeared in the Sun, Mr..
McGraw writes: preserve them.
They will sometime, after the mad
ness of the present hour has passed
away, command a premium, and
children of a future generation will
learn with sorrow that their sires re-
tired to private life the most com
handing figure in the civil history
of the two Virginias for the past half
of a century" There is no doubt
that Mr.. Wilton, despite his defeat,
is today one of the most popular
Democrats in the United States.

1t would be of great interest just
at this time to know what the Hon
James M. Anderson, who in these
melancholy days toasts his shins in
the seclusion of his Battelle distric,
Preside, has to say of the Senatorial
question. This is the Hon. James
opportunity. Chances to say some
thing on this question are rare to
the Monongalia representative. Talk
from him would be weighty just at
this time, but never before, and new

The Thanksgiving Festival, which
will be given Thursday evening Nov
29th in the Methodist Episcopal
church, will be novel and of a
very pleasing character. The pro
gram will consist of Pantomimes,
Singing in Costumes, Motion Songs
&c. The room will be decorated
with the fruits of the harvest and
there will be special electrical dis
play. This unique entertainment
promises to be the special attraction
for Thanksgiving.

Is it possible that the Fairmont
West Virginian got slice of the Ell
kins loaf? 1t says that ''as soon as
the result was known the people
arose and said, as with one voice,
that Mr. Elkins was elected" 1t
says that every Republican paper,
with the exception of tine Morgan
town Post, "has greeted the great
leader as Senator Elkins." There is
something peculiarly significant
about this general journalistic unan-
unity which calls carpet Dagger a
leader 1t is next to miraculous. 1t
is part of a Doodle campaign, and es-
pecially is it noticeable when the
West Virginian finds it so easy to go
back on Hon. George c. Sturgiss.
Editor Powell certainly knows that
the difference between Sturgiss and
Elkins is as the difference of mind
over matter. What would be wrong
about the West Virginian having a
word to say for it's neighbor and
friend2

That Famous Feather Hog Again.

The wrangle between William San

j. Feather, of Preston county, comes
in again for an additional chapter to
its postmortem renown.
The New DOMINION told the story
at length of how Feather is alleged
to have enveloped the Sanders hog
in a general drove of near a hundred
he was driving through the noun
tains, how he was indicted for mis-
demeanor and how, with Sanders as
the prosecuting witness, he was tried
and acquitted at the October term
of the circuit court
But Sanders did not lei the mat =
ter rest there. Last Monday he
brought suit in Squire Staggers'
court against Feather for the recov
cry of the price of the hog The
case was holly contested-really bit
terly fought Fuller Glasscock, with
his suavity of manner and deep de-
signs of docile demeanor, represent
ed the plaintiff, while Charlie Good
win, with all the ferocity OF chrys
anthemum hair and untamed orato-
ry, presented Feathers defense.
Tuesday judgment for 50 was rem
dered in favor of Sanders. The costs
aside from the judgment which
Feathers will have to pay are $50.
An expensive hog, you will say.

aged 20 years. Pneumonia was the
immediate cause of his death Last
Friday evening be went to his coun

rapidly developed into pneumonia,
and he was not anle to leave his

Newspapers as Educators.

The Commissioner of Education is
right when he declares that the
newspapers surpass the libraries in
educative influence. Thousands read
the former for every one that goes to
the latter But it cannot be denied
that many of the newspapers are
teaching most unwholesome doc
trines. 1t can be Of little advantage
to the country for its people 20 be
taught that it is right for business
interests to 90 to the law making
power for special privileges, ard for
the law making power TO accord
them. That is not the purpose of
good government, but is dangerous
to and subversive of it. Yet that
very doctrine is being taught by half
the newspapers of the country to day
and with such success that when a
party comes forward in defence of
the principle of equal rights to all
and special favors to none, the de
luded masses jostle one another in
their eager rush to condemn it.
OF course, as puryeyors Of the
news, these false teachers, or teach
ers of false doctrine, will be COMPEL
ed to record the truth that sooner or
later will set the people right, but it
nevertheless remains a fact that for
the time being great number of our
newspapers are doing some very bad
teaching.
