MR.. WILSON IN MORGAN COUNTY.

A Fine Crowd Listens to HIS Address
and Enjoys some Nice Roast Beef.

BERKELEY SPRINGS, w. VA, October
27..-Hon. w. l.. Wilson arrived here
from Washington City late last night
and this morning he was driven ACROSS
the country several miles TO point near
the centre Of the county, where a large
Democratic meeting had been arranged
for. A feature of the event was bar
becue, and the roast beef was enjoyed
b7 the throng almost as much
as Mr.. Wilson's address. The attend
ance OF citizens from the surround
ing country was large, and many Demo-
Gratis were there from Berkeley county
aud from the upper end Of Hampshire,
as we'll as from Washington county,
MARYLAND. Mr.. Wilson, as usual, de-
voted the greater portion OF bis ad-
dress 10 the tariff question, and clearly
demonstrated the burdens imposed upon
the people by the Mckinley bill, and
the benefits which would result
from the Democratic measure adopted
by the last Congress.
Sunday will be spent by Mr. Wilson
al Kinewood, Preston county, and Mon
day afternoon he will address the Dem
ocrats at that place. Monday night he
speaks at Terra Alta, in the same
county.

ments had not been put 10 force; and he
can again as soon as that order is re-
vOked, though no Obe knows when that
will be. And he is sent TO the rendezyou
for the arm to which he may belong. II
very often happens that discharged
soldier re-enlistIng is permitted 10 re-
enlist for a certain regiment or COM
pany. Either because he has choice
Of that kind. or because be has been 10
vited by the commanding officer OF
that company 10 do so, he is
allowed that much OF choice 10
the matter. 1t is not likely he would be
admitted as recruit for Q certain COM
pany where 10 was known at the re-
cruitng Office the captain or one Of the
lieuteuants did not want MIN. But a
good soldier, approaching the end OF his
term, always has some range Of choice
in the matter.
After q time at his depot the recruit,
with hundreds of others. is drafted of
10 the West aud taken TO the post for
which be is assigned, or for which he
has enlisted, in the cases Of that kind.
And as soon as be arrives there his du-
ties as a soldier begin.
But he is still long way from the full
estate OF a soldier. Heis only recruit,

The men who went in the
army at the beginning OF work
on the First became quite prof.
Gent stonemasons at the end OF their
enlistments. But they had done good
deal of work for which they had not
contracted at the beginning OF their
terms. 1t did them no harm. They
had as much money at the cad or the
FIVE years, no doubt, as then would have
had had they remained outside. They
had been sober greater portion OF the
time. Their wants OF every kind had
been attended to and if they had been
sick they had not been tossed out OF
bed and roam by an unlocking landlord.
But they had scarcely done exclusive
military work.
And yet complain about it as much as
they would, that is the work of soldiers
wherever forts or Notifications are TO be
built. 1t has been so from the begin
ming OF war. In the -od days of the
crusades, perhaps, there was an eXcep-
ton 10 the rule, because men-at-arms
did not bemsan themselves by manual
labor. They had servitors, meniais and
slaves to dig their trenches, throw up
their embankments, and raze the enc
mics forts for them, whenever those
things were to be done. But the day Of
ideal soldering went out with them. The
soldiers OF Cyrus, who was better COM
mander than any that led crusade, for
no won, and they did not. were the
hewers OF wood and the diggers Of
trenches. II was they VINO shoYeed up
hstr haN fnr no
Euphrates river aud opened way un-
DER the walls OF Babylon.
And in all weIl-appointed aud effect
i've armies from that day to this the
soldiers have had 10 90 work beside that
Of slaughter ana the preparation for 1t.
In good many other ways the views
of the recruit change as time passes
over his helmeted head. He has an idea
as he looks at the sample soldier there
at the foot OF the stairs on West Madi-
son,street or South Clark street or State
street, that leisure is the chief posses
sion OF the soldier. He knows there are
such things as pay days, and that with
money man may become very popular
in certain portions OF leyee society. So
ne dreams OF the time when he will re
fresh himself with beer ana regaie
lady with the same, and entertain her
with the tale of his deeds OF daring.
But he learns better than that. The
nearer be cau come to the realization OF
that picture the harder headache will
he have the next morning, und the long
er will he be likely to remain in the
guardhouse as a penalty for sbsenttng
himself from duty without leave and
coming back at last in a state OF OBJ
streperous intoxication.

bar him from enlistment. IL he was q
good man, with q commendatory refer
ence from former employer and II his
physical condition was perfect, he might
SUI take on" But under the present
rule in the army. when the applicant
declares he never has served In the
army OF the land, he is told be cannot
be received DO matter what the rest OF
the case may be.
1--WE are not enlStinR any men now,
excepting those who have served pre-
viously 10 the United States army"
says the corporal, and the applicant,
after looking about for moment, goes
clumsily downstairs. And it never
before occurred TO him how desolate
rejection would make him feel.
Assrule, men have an idea service
i'm the army is not a very credltable
employment. There are COED many
men and women who look with good
deal Of dlsdain on the wearer Of the
blue. unless the Wearer wear also shout
der straps and be rauked as au officer.
/ The prevailing notion is that soldiers
are very unlOvable msn. They are
I credited with rougbneSs, and plunder,
and lntOxicatiOn, and all that sort OF
thing. Even the men who, by their
I own roughueSs, cannot find any o0Jec-
ton 10 that behavior in others, do not
approve OF the soldier. They regard
him as an inferlor-fOr what reason no
one can tell.
And, consequently, when they come
to enlist 10 is with q distinct sensation
OF having made a concession. They re-
gard themselves as offering 10 elevate
the army 10 the extent OF q single en-
listmeut, and 20 brushes them when the
cold fact comes home THAI the army
does not want them.
In former days, any time previous 70

suffered that poignant sorrow. He may

CENTRE POINT, W. VA, October 81
Hon. John A. Howard, candidate for

ing ever had at this place, there being
five hundred voters present. Mr.. How

lag by the Salem band, the wagon being
drawn by four white horses and accom-
panied by 100 horsemen.
Mr.. Blair spoke on the principles OF
the Democratic party briefly, but most
elouuently. After Major Blair had fin
ished Hon. John A. Howard was intro
duced amid cheers and applause from
the audience. Mr.. Howard delivered
very forcible and highly appreciated
arguments Of his ople ut, Capt. DOven-
address, fully meeting and answering the
er. who was there few DAYS ago. At the
conclusion OF Mr.. Towards speech he
was loudly spplauded, and some Re-
publicans said they had found out the
Republican party was not the party for
the laboring people. 1t was in favor OF
making the rich richer aud the poor
poorer Howard will get al increased
vote in Doddridge county. At the con-
clusion the ladies presented him with

An this answered satisfactorily, he

epce is taken by one of the detail OF SOL
diers on duty about the recruiting
station and presented TO the man whose

certain question touching his knOwl-

into the army. II the interview en-
dorses all the letter states, then that
mart of the trouble is ended. III, as very
often happens, the letter OF recommen-
dation is simply given to comply with
the request of one who is inslStiye and
whom the voucher can best dispose OF

mendation is of no avail. In every case
where it is possible the letter is investi-

But that is not all. After sll the
Questions have been answered satiSfac-

has taken means TO prove all the repre-

test is yet TO come. There is physical

as the children do In Sindergarten.
There must not only be present
soundness, but there must have been no
serious maIady in the past which is ike

man. If there have been, then the or

examined. Aud no man not well will
