and IS iully competent to take care of
Us interests. We havn't aught to say
against his personal character. but
must say that his political proclivities
are not OF that type best suited, in our
opinion, to legislate for the common
good We do honestly think that
Nest Virginia has toolong been under
ne lash OF Democratic rule. five
I'D net think SO, we would not speak
nus. What West Virginia needs to-
lay Is men who will study her inter-
SIS, and legisiate for the develop

I'VE industries. How long shall
Vest Virginia be under the rule of
'uch men, is a question that the
'oters are to answer soon.
Times are still dull, and we see but
title prospect tor any improvement
o long as the administration is doing
'othing to relieve the discomfort Of
he laboring classes. Sending troops
intiuidate hungry men, is poor
way to ADJUST mitters at this time.
We have always been persuaded that
here should be 30 contention or strife
between capital and labor. Without
tabor there could be no capital; with
'ut capital, labor would be unemploy-
ID. Let capital and labor go hand in
hand to the development Of the re-
sources OF the country, and the stabil-
ny OF our institutions and we are safe
ind secure. But let war be instituted
wen war oiwords-between labor and
apital, and there is not an institution
the land but what is in jeopardy.
let our legislators at the National
Sapital, consider both sides Of this
question. Let them sit as honest
Judges in the matter, and bring about
ucli legislation as will dispense JUS
ice to all alike; then will their names
20 down upon the records Of time as
men who did their duty and did it
well.
This seems to be an age OF disquiet
md great contention. Even in this
community war Of contention has

IN Incessant war against Mr.. Helsley.
Who, we are inclined to think. has
faithfully discharged his duties as a
teacher. He took charge ofthe school

well known that the school at that
time was badly disorganized. but by

trying to GUST him, which we trust
they will not be able to do. Their
first efforts were to change the board
