Their Own.

Parents should be careful about
the rights of their children, in re-
gard to each ones individual proper
ty. A characteristic of child. is
the pleasure of ownership and when
thing has been given him, it should
be his cwn, his parents should not
take it from him; it is often an out
rage, the way in which parents use
what belongs to the children.
Children are often made To wear
each others clothing without any
respect for the feelings of either; or,
one boy loses his ball a ball is
promptly taken from his brother and
given him. The little girl has mis-
placed her doll dress, her sister is
ordered to give up one of hers.
This is unjust. If one boy and girl
are good and take good care of their
property, they should not be com
PEELED to furnish the careless broth
er and sister with articles they have
lost. This is not the right training
for either class. The one will learn
that nothing is gained by being
careful and economical, what is saw
ed must go anyway" The other
class will learn, that careless, neg
lectful habits are no disadvantage.
Parents should begin early to
build up the character Of their chill
dren, give each child certain things
solely for his own use, and teach
him to respect the property Of the
others.

Equal Rights.

We do not think it right for
women to work so much harder than
men; neither do we think it right
for women to be idle half of her
time while her husband drudges
from early morn until night. How
can woman enjoy being dressed mp
with nothing to do, and her husband
always bowed down with labor in
order to support her in her idleness.
We ask for equal rights in this re.
spect. Why should women shut
themselves out from practical use
fulness2 Let her do her work with
the help Of hand and brain, heart
and conscience, for all are required
for the production of the best work.
Work is the law of life for women
as well as men-idleness is extinc-
tion, work means lite and usefulness,
and women should do their share
We read of many matters of impor.

Suits Growing out of Street Improve
mentS.

The town of Morgantown has
brought suit in the Circuit Court
against William A. Watts, George
Kiger, IT., N. H. McGeorge and Dru-
silla Morgan. The object is to widen
Bumbo Lane from Spruce to Front
street. Commissioners were appointed
at the late term of court to ascertain
the amount of money that the town
should pay the land owners named,
whose lands abut on Bumbo Lane
and 16 feet of which it is proposed
to take for said purpose. Exceptions
to their reports as to the Kiger and
McGeorge lots were sustained, and
new Commissioners were nominated
by the Court, and they will report
at the next term of court as to the
value of the ground proposed to be
taken by the town. The town was
dissatisfied with the compensation
allowed by the Commissioners in
the Watts case, and petit jury will
decide the matter in dispute at the
October Court. Judge John A.
Ollie, Hon. Jos. Moreland and Hon.
George G. Sturgiss represent the
Defendants and Frank Cox, ESQ.,,
and Col. r. E. Fast appeared for
the town..
PROFESSIONALLY the proposed
widening of Bumbo Lane is pro-
gressive move, and 1t should be tax
en-, at least sometime. But there
are many people who argue that
Long Alley is the first alley that
should be made a street, The Com
missioners report gives McGeorge
1925, Kiger 5000 and 1Natts $4,000.

A Change Of Base-The Opportunity o.
Democracy.

The California Republican con-
vention, last week, declared for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver,
at the ratio of 16 to L.
Several other Republican conven-
tions of the Western states have also
adopted resolutions within the past
few weeks that practically mean free
silver coinage.
1t is stated on good authority
that Senator Don Cameron, of Pen
sylvania, will enter the race for the
Republican Presidential nomination
in 1896 and that he will run on a
platform, one of the cardinal feat
ures of which will be the free coinage
of silver.
And lastly, but perhaps most i'm
portant of all, we have Tom Reed
writing to the London Contempor-
airy Review, favoring the Republican
party planting lt'elf upon a
platform that shall declare for free
silver and protection.
Taken together, all these evidences
show quite plainly that the Repub-
lican party has gone, or is making
preparations to go over to the enemy
to abandon the one principle that
since the war has made it respecta-
BILE, loyalty to honest money, and is
about to adopt the Populist cry for
fifty cent dollars. The reason for
this grand sumersault at this time
is quite plain. The American peo-
pie have had their eyes opened to
the injustice of Republican tariff
laws and as Senator Teller, a Repub.
lican leader, said in his speech they
have realized that they are overtax.
ed under protectionist laws and will
have no more of it. In other words,
protection has played out. The par
ty leaders realize this and also the
fact that change of base is neces-
sary if another victory is to be won.
We know not what to think of the
honesty and consistency of the men
who thus deliberately go over to the
enemy for the purpose of gaining a
political victory, but an acquain-
lance with the turbulence of the Re-
publican party prevents all surprise
1t is in keeping with its record.
This surrender to the enemy at this
time only brings out in greater dis
tinctness, its contemplate hum
buggery and insincerity.
Republican treason is Democratic
opportunity. Let the old party
stand firmly by the Democratic doc
trine of honest money and its tri-
umph is assured. Republican de-
lection may win it temporary vic
tory, but if the Democratic party
holds on its old course, advocating
the principles that have been held
by all statesmen and parties who
have done anything to give good
government to mankind, its ultimate
triumph is a certainty.-Kanowha
Gazette.

A Street of the Good Old Days.

While digging the sewer on High
street the workmen struck an un-
looked for obstruction in the way Of
a corduroy road. The street between
the residence of T. Pickenpaugh and
Thos. Gregg was, away back in the
boyhood days of the "oldest inhabi
tants,' regular frog pond and the
city fathers of that day put down
logs foot in diameter and about g
foot apart, filling the space with
boulders from the river. The logs
were struck at depth of eight feet
and were as solid as if cut but few
months.
The workmen were compelled to
stand in four to six inches of water
while cutting the logs which extend
ed over a distance of 40 yards.
This fill shows what an enormous
amount of work has been done Oh
our streets and it will go right along
through untold ages unless the
streets are paved.

Sixty Million Bushels of Wheat-A
Bnshel for Every Inhabitant of the
United States. The Kansas Crop of

Never in the history of Kansas has
that state had such bountiful crops as
this year. The farmers cannot get
enough hands to harvest the great
crop, and the Santa Fe Railroad has
made special rates from Kansas City
and other Missouri River towns, to
induce harvest hands to go into the
state. The wheat crop of the state
will be from sixty to siXty-five million
bushels, and the quality is high.
The grass crop is made, and is very
large one: the early potatoes, rye,
barley and oats crops are made, and
are all large. The weather has been
propitious for corn, and it is the
cleanest, best looking corn to be found
in the country today. Cheap rates
will be made from Chicago, st.
Louis and all points on the Santa Fe
east of the Missouri River, to all Kan
sas points, on August 80 and Septem-
Der 81, and these excursions will give
a chance for eastern farmers to see
what the great Sunnower State can do
A good map of Kansas will be mailed
free upon application to Jno. j. Byrne,
1923 Monadnock Block, Chicago, ILL.,,
together with reliable statistics and
information about Kansas land.

THE STATE LINES BIG PROFITS.
1t is Making $4,000 Day on Coal
Shipments.

1t is said the freight on car of
coal from the West Virginia region
to Pittsburg is $40. With a daily
shipment Of 200 cars, which is now
about the average, the B. d o. gets
about $4,000 a day for its share of
the West Virginia coal boom over the
State Line alone, to say nothing of
the shipments over the main line
east and west to Fairment. This is
$4,000 a month, and at that rate
it would not take the State Line
branch very long to pay for its con
struction. This is great business at
time when many roads are not
making operating expenses.
