foremost in pre-
senting this matter, and in fact
is the only paper that has shown
up the great advantage that the
location of this Assembly here
will be to Clarksburg and to Har-
rison county. In a previous issue
of which a large number ofextra
copies of the TELEGRAM were
distributed, the project was fully
explained. 1t was shown that
Clarksburg was the best place in
West Virginia to locate such a
resort and we are happy to an
nouce that a great effort will be
made to induce the Conference
committee to locate the Assembly
here. Already there have been
two meetings attended by Sew
eral of our leading business men
and the matter has assumed a
tangible form. "A beautiful-in
fact an ideal location has been
selected and an arrangement
made whereby a tract OF over 80
acres of land VIII be given free
to the conference. This land is
the Silas Hoff farm, located on
the Weston railroad, about two
miles from town. There will be
no trouble to give to these
grounds, connections with the
city water works, electric light
plant, and furnish both artificial
and natural gas. The railroad
passes this farm and the. report
OF the committee that visited it is
that it is just exactly the spot
desired. The purchase of this
land of Mr.. Hoff and the donating
of the so acres has been provided
for as we have already stated
and all we want now is a sinh.
stantial gift in cash and tie AS
sembly will be ours. This mat.
ter has not been overlooked; a
subscription paper has been
started and several cash sub.
scriptions of one hundred dollars
each have been secured, in fact
it is thought that there are
twenty-five or more of our citi.
zens who will donate amounts Of
one hundred each. Then there
are a number who will be willing
to contribute on a smaller scale.
Let everybody help. 1t means a
new Clarksburg-a city with a
future. 1t is a glorious chance
to help the town to something
grander than anything of which
we have dreamed in the past.
The money that is donated will
be expended here with us. 1t
will be used in erecting a large
summer hotel and an auditorium.
The TELEGRAM has always en-
couraged and assisted all worthy
measures that tendedlto promote
the interests of our people and
it tells to all that a golden oppor.
tunity is now here. Will we act
and achieve or. will we remain
inactive while other towns pass
US by?

MARY,s LIrrLE LAMB.
For the TEnEeRAM.

For the TELEGRAM.
Mary has little lamb
Its fleece is white as snow,
And in the spring and summer time
Its wool is sure to grow,
Not long ago she sold the wool.
For twenty-five cents you know,
And bought her silk and made it full
And trimmed her suit from tip
to toe.
Now Democrats tare down the wall,
And sweep protection at blow,
So down comes tumbling wool and
all.
Yes, everything that farmers grow
So I'VE turn back, a page or two,
Now Mary's dress is fax and tow,
The farmers raise just what will do
And let their fields in briars grow.
And now should this be our doom,
A patch of flax. dozen sheep
The large rim wheel, the old brown
loom,
And Mary must spin and sadly
weep,
But 10; l see an army strong,
Andeyery file--complete and full.
1t matters not where they belong,
They are sworn to wear no twelve
cent wool.
And for our home they're sworn to
fight
Protect the farm and factory too.
The star OF victory now in sight,
Is the star that led the boys in
blue,
It's light will flash on every hill.
On every flock that grows the
wool,
On every town and every mill,
Until protection cup is full.
QUIET DELL, Oct. %. 1894.

EDITOR ADvoCATE:-The loud yells Of
the demo.republlcsns Of years agone Of
"overproduction" seems to have blown
t-subsided-when really they should
be rending the vaults Of heaven with
their cries, as the farmers have opened
too many farms and will bring only about
ne.third what they would twenty years
ago.
Overproduction Of wheat; 35 cents at
this market.
Ovsrproduction OF old soldiers; not
enough money in the treasury aided by
two billion-dollsr congresses to pay them
their pensions.
Ovsrproduotion of money; $20l, 900, 600
in the banks Of New York doing moth
ing.
OVerproduction Of silver; bullion lying
dead in the treasury.
OVerproduction of rsilrosds; proprie-
tors can't run them; lat turned over to
Uncle Sans receivers.
Overproduction of hands; cutting ON
the time OF the lsborers.
Ovsrproduction of all kinds Of labor;
100000 idle men in the United States.
Overproduction of a president; he is
more than the twins bsrgsined for.
Overproduction Of horses; good farm
horses have sold here at sales for Sl5 to
S25.
OVsrproduction of people; no houses
for them to live in.
Ovsrproduction OF houses; poor people
can't pay the rent
Overproduction Of groceries, the stores
are full; people can't buy them.
Ovsrproduction Of politicians; the re-
publicsns Of Kansas have not where to
lay their heads.
Overproduction of cash in the nation;
the demo republicans must sell bonds TO
absorb it.
Overproduction OF insane; our Rsy-
lums won't hold them.
OVsrproductlon Of the bonds OF trusts,
combines, and railroad syndicstes Of the
United S ates, as stated by Senators
Teller, Stewart, Jones, Allison and Dan
iels, s3OOOOOOO,OOO; had to sell them in
Europe.
War salaries, war taxes and courts;
stationary and certain with our damn
able monetary system.
Notwithstanding, the wall OF "over-
production" has hicksrsd to some extent
with the demo republicans; they are
ashamed Of their cussed lies; the cslam-
i'yites have taken new vigor, and now
flourish equal to the Green Bay tree

hope that they will be able to make tho

that conscience is q creature OF educa-

tion has taught the president that the
course he has pursued is the only safe
and just course to pursue IN the admin
istrstion of this government. 1t is my
fondest hope and most ardent desire
that the people in their struggle for JUS
tice shall show charity FOR oil, but while
they should show charity they are not
worthy the title of freemen il they do not
demand justice.
We have passed through scarcely the
first Of the four years Of this Sdministrs-

"Rspesl the purchasing clause OF the
Sherman silver law that gold may be st-
trscted to this country" was the first
command. Congress hssitsted. "Com-
ply with my instructions or the offices
which you promised those Who assisted
you IN your election will be denied you"
Then like dutiful subjects Of 9 tyrRnniCsl
detpot congress- surrendered Its indie
psndence and conGormed to the dicta-
tors will.
The first step in the scheme for more Of.
fectuslly enslaving the wealth creator is
accomplished. Gold, however, does not
flow into the national treasury, hence
some other step must be taken to bring it
there. Congreas is in session; it will lay
out the course to be pursued. But no,
though congress is In session the admin
istrstion does not deem it necessary to
ask it to provide q way for meeting the
emergency, but digging up q relic of the
pasta law enacted way back in the
'7Os, providing for the issuance Of bonds
to assist in the redemption Of specie pay
ments, law authorizing bonds for csr-
tain specific purpose-fnding this law
still on the statutes. the administration,
regardless Of the disapprovAl Of q great
majority of the people, publishes cirou-
lar asking for purchasers for S5O,OOO,OOO
worth Of United States non-tRxRble
bonds.
Not satisfied with cutting Of large
amount Of the peoples means OF paying
debts the administration now proceeds
in this way to plunge the people still
deeper in debt. Is it right? Grover
Cleveland's conscience has been educated
in a school that asks that these bonds
be issued, and the instructors Of that in
stitution stand ready to take the entire
issue.
But l ask in good conscience can the
man believe it is right? Does he not

from Gods laws OF eternal right and
justice. A law which seemed TO me in
my foolish innocence one which all
American statesmen can consider Of flrst
Importance in their every public sct
But what an swaksningl What a satyr
is our much -boasted liberty, equality,
and justice, now that men justify the
highest magistrate Of the land in acts
wholly counter to the greatest good to
the greatest number" and wholly In the
especial interests Of o few leeches Of
society.
II the idea Of our fathers in ordain-
ing that the will Of the msjority OF this
nations citizens should be the law Of the
land was not q wicked jest, will someone
please tell me by what act of that ma
iorlty they have delegated to single
man the power reserved to them by the
organic law Of the nation? That power
has not been given any man, it has
simply been appropriated by one. Fancy
had such power been assumed by o
friend Of the really useful men Of the
country, the toilerS, there would have
been articles Of impeachment filed against
the usurper and the public prints would
haste to call such usurpRtlon by its real
name, treason. But as it is the para
sites bull that cores the peoples OK the
case is quite different. One man may
pledge the people for millions Of dollars
and that man go unpunished, ave, be
even honored for the act. Ia private
life, however, signing snother's name to
negoti .bls paper without authority from
the person whose name is signed, is
called forgery and punished 90 felony,
but the wretch who has no better pur-
pose to serve by such an act than to pur-
chase q little bread to sppease the pangS
Of hunger or procure q pair of shoes to
shield his feet from snow and ice, de-
servee a felon'S cell.
With great men, with heads OF govern
ment, however, the case is quite differ
emit. Their acts must all be construed
to be for the best interests OF their ma
ton, however solely they may oppress
the masses. With such men educational
forces have been such as to cause con-
science to say it is right to pillsge the
masses for the benefit Of the few. A
curse on such Hypocrisy A thousand
curses on the hypocrisy that says to the
American, "You are free and the equal
in every respect 80 FAR as lsR and human
society can make you OF every other man
in this nation" and then fetters him
with q lifelong indebtedness that com
pels him and his descendants to allow q
lot Of hungry barnscles to fasten them
selves upon them and grow fat by suck
ing their lifeblood, while they labor
through heat and cold from childhood
to old sRe, and have, when death comes
to their rescue, barely enough property
to keep their bodies from being placed
in potter's field.
To those persons who justify men in
shaping the national policy so as to pro-
duce, and even intensity, this condition
of things, / can only say, may God
have mercy on you, for there is day OF
reckoning fast approaching, when the

KISSING BRIDES AND POLITICS,

Certain scholars, who are also students
in national character, are convinced
that the trend of American life is to-
ward the French. We do undoubtedly
show some such indications in our
books, our art and our theaters.
But, in reality, we are far from the
French. They have a few spasms in
the way Of manners and fashions and
government that are a bit too fantastic.
Recently President Parier- -Casimir was
walking down the Bois de B2lo2ne when
he met Wedding party The mother
in-law of the group pounced upon the
president ana requested him 10 kiss the
bride. Casimir, who is good deal
of a man by the way, threw his arms
around the bride and glued MS lips
70 hers in true ecstatic Partisan style.
The item, which was not bad piece
of news. was published the next morn
ing, and at once the president YVES de-
luged with Letters asking him 20 be
prom,nadinG AZ such and such time on
this day and that, in order that he might
meet such and such q bride and embrace
her. The most touching appeals were
received, and one delicate French girl
suggested thar If he would meet the
wedding party ana kiss her, all would
be well. She explains this in a post
script, where she says: If tie first
born Is boy. we shall call him CAST

This may be all right in French roll
tics but II wouldn't 90 IN America.
There Is no doubt that our ottice-hoiders
have reached that degree Of French per-
fectiou where they could yauk b. .de 70

and fervor as any fros-eating politician.

| ing blood. No matter what the political
cause or purpose, the American people
are not in favor of indiscriminate ard
unauthorized war.
But when a picturesque situation
comes up they at least have some desire
to see the principal actor appear some
thing more than a clown.
Most Of the picturesque situations have
lately been filled by men Of Populistic
principles and tendencies They have
not been successfully filled. Tie result t
IN every case of Populistic blow and
bluster has been altogether too farsical
for even a respectable farce.
After Pennoyer'5 ana Waite's and
Lewelling's experience and their fail
ures, Kolb took it into his head that he
could cut a dramatic figure before the
American people.
l.

nor. He insisted that he would in fact
be governor although another gentle
man, MIR. Oates, declared that he would
be. Now the people were interested in
Mr.. holb's rebellion largely because of
the buster of Mir. Kolb America en-
joys bluff, but it has very little use for
bluff that is not made good. 1t has
very little use for Kolb today.
He has shown his Populistic ears. He
talked of rebellion and his rights. but
when the supreme moment came he was
very meek. He met a firm officer who
gave him fair warning and Kolb at once
retreated to wagon and was inaugu-
rated governor in very ridiculous way.
We know why he did. He made
great boasts of how he had all the law
abiding people of his state on his side.
But when the supreme moment arrived
holb looked about him and saw but a
meager three hundred. Then his re-
bellion went down. II has been exactly
similar in all PopulistIc revolutions.
The claim is always made that blood
will flow or the great respectable ma
Jority will have its way. When the
moment for rebellion comes the Popu-
list howler and buffer is asked TO pro-
duce a representation of the great ma
jority and he fails to do il.
The tenets of PcpuIism are for the
most part unteHable. but they are not
half so unlenable as The leaders OF Pop-
llsm are absurd.
