Victoria Regina.

Victoria was crowned Queen of
England June 20, 1887. To-day is
the fifty seventh anniversary of that
event. This reign is already longer
than that of any other English SOW
ereign except that of George III,
which lasted fifty nine years and
three months. The two longest reigns
before George III were those of Hen
ry III and Edward III. The former
was fiftysix years and the latter fif.
ty years. Queen Elizabeth ruled
over forty four years. The reign of
Victoria has not only been one Of the
longest, but it has covered one of the
most momentous periods of the
worlds history. Nearly all the great
engines and appliances of civilization
with which we are now familiar have
been the products of these years,
With the exception of the Crimean
war England has been at peace with
all the great powers.
No less momentous have been the
changes in the governments and the
map of Europe during this reign.
France has changed its government
four times and lost a part of its ter
ritory. The German Empire has
been organized and Italy has been
united. The government of the In
dian Empire has passed to the crown
of England and the British Empire
has been vastly extended. No other
great European power has enjoyed so
long time of peace and prosperity
as England in this reign. The good
Queens health is reported to be ex-
cellent and she bids fair to enjoy the
longest reign in all history, perhaps,
with the exception of that of Louis
XIV, which began when he was a
child and continued seventy-two
years.-Sun.

The TariTand Wages.

The Gazette makes point when
in referring to the duty on coal it
says: If the great strike now com
ing to an end has proved anything
it has proved beyond dispute that
the tariff on bituminous coal has
had no effect whatever on the wages
of the miners.
The sole and only defense of this
duty is that it was necessary for
the protection of the miners, that it
would enable the operators to pay
the miners American wages. The
operators have paid the lowest wa
ges possible, and they are about to
pay higher wages simply because
they are compelled to.
In other words the miners were
obliged to strike to obtain the bene-
fit which theoretically and rightfully
belongs to them, if it belongs to any
body.
This case well illustrates the uni
form practice of all employers of la
Dor who are protected. They TAX e
to themselves the protection except
so far as they are compelled to give
it to the men for whom it was in
tended. And this strike shows, too
how little of that protection the men
can force from the employers grasp
even by adopting SO extreme meth.
cd of compulsion.

Hon. WIN. L, Wilson.

The democratic convention to nom
mate candidate for Congress in the
second district of West Virginia is
to be held in Martinsburg the 10Th
Of August. This is the district now
represented by Hon. VIM. L. Wilson,
the distinguished leader of tariff re-
form in the House. Should Mr.. Will
son consent to be candidate for re-
nomination the indications are that
the honor will be conferred with
great unanimity. The democrats of
the second district are tariff reform
ers in fact as well as by profession,
and they are proud of Mr.. Wilson S
record. Already several counties in
the district in mass meeting have in
dorsed the Wilson tariff bill, and
urged the Senate to pass it in the
form it passed the House. Whether
this is done or not, the democrats of
the second district Of West Virginia
are for VIM. L. Wilson without any
compromise, and will yield him a
support at once solid and enthusias-
tic, for they prefer tariff reform
democrat to political trimmers and
compromisers.- Bdltimor Sun.

Senator Hills prophecy of Demo
cratic defeat in New York, New Jer-
sey and Connecticut as a result of
passing the income tax failed to pro-
duce any effect in the Senate.
The Democratic Senators proba-
bly, remembered that some of Mr..
Hills recent political forecastings
did not give him high repute as a
prophet.
Senator Hill was sure that Mr..
Cleveland could not carry New York
in 1892. Mr.. Cleveland obtained
the very comfortable plurality Of
45,51S.
Senator Hill was equally confident
that Judge Maynard could carry
New York last year. He failed BY
exactly 101, 065.

Who passed all the tariff laws
which have been in existence for the

are told that everything was so pros

More protection by about one third

MIDSUMMER BY THE SEA,
The b. & O's. Popular Excursion to At
lantic City.

On Thursday, July 9Th, the Balti-
more d Ohio Railroad will inaugur-
ate the series of popular excursions
for the Summer to Atlantic City from
Pittsburgh, Wheeling, Parkersburg,
and all intermediate stations to
Washington Junction, Md. This an
nouncement will be welcomed by
thousands of residents of Western
Maryland, Western Pennsylvania,
West Virginia and Eastern Ohio,
who may desire to avail themselves
of the cheap rates and superior train
service of the B. & 0. r. R. for trip
to the seashore. For the excursion
on July 9th, the same low rates and
unexcelled train service, which have
made these jaunts to the sea so pop
ular in past summers, will be in eff
feet. Many improvements have been
made at Atlantic City, which will
add to its general popularity and
strengthen it's claim as the most at
tractive resort on the Atlantic Coast
Tickets will be valid for return
journey for twelve days from day of
sale, and will be good on all regular
trains. On return journey they will
be good to stop off at Washington,
thus afording an opportunity to see
Congress in session, to visit the num-
erous public buildings, which are
open to visitors free of charge, and
to take trip down the Potomac to
Mt. Vernon, the tomb of the immor.
tai Washington, as well as to visit
other places of interest in and near
Washington.

A Good Word for the University.
Grfaton Seminal

More and more prominently is the
University brought before us, as
young men of our immediate &C
quaintance are sent forth from it as
full fledged graduates. This year
two Taylor county boys, Messrs. Ross
Jones and Sam. Jenkida svaduated
with high honors, and shere are sew
eral who will be candidates for de-
grees next year. This is good show
ing for our county. We are glad to
see our young men coming to the
front.
Still the West Virginia University
is not so well known and appreciated
by our young friends as it should be.
The school is one of the best equip
ped and pleasantly located institu-
tions, in the land 1t offers every
facility for education and training
now known.
Three new buildings, large and
handsome, have been recently elect
ed One, the mechanical building,
contains all modern contrivances, for
teaching mechanics and civil engi-
neering, now extant.
The scientific hall rivals that of
any, of the standard Universities, in
its elaborate outfit and equipment.
Last but not least is the new COM
mencement hall and gymnasium.
The gymnasium owing to the activ-
ity and energy of it's director, DR..
Hartigan, is thoroughly equipped
with all the latest appliances for
physical culture. Under the man
agement of this noted gentleman,
our young men need not suffer for
physical training.
Athletics, as it should, is being
agitated and is coming up In a
tightly contested game of base ball,
with w. d j., one of the oldest and
richest colleges in Pennsylvania, the
University boys came out victorious.
The Board of Regents showed their
appreciation by appropriating $500,
for the thorough preparation of the
athletic grounds.
