EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION.

The West Virginia Editorial Asso-
citation will convene at Wheeling at 2
o'clock on Tuesday, May s, 1894.
The people of Wheeling have arranged
to make the stay of the editors in that
city pleasant one, and a short e1cur-
sion will be rendered by the railroads.
A number of papers on pertinent
topics will be read at the meeting by
various members of the association,
and the session will doubtless be an
interesting and beneficial one,
Every newspaper in the State
should be represented at this meeting.
There are number of important mat
tiers to be considered, and full repre-
sentation of editors would result in
material benefit to the craft.

Love Made Her Insane.

A few weeks ago Charles Stanley,
a retired merchant of Buffalo, n. Y,
caused the announcement of the break
ing of the engagement Of his daughter
Emma to William Knox, well-to-do
young man. Knox was Presbyterian
and Miss Stanley Catholic, and they
could not agree as to the church IN
which they should be married. Mr..
Stanley told Knox not to visit his
daughter again. The young people
kept up the engagement secretly.
A week ago Knox proposed an elope-
ment, to which Miss Stanley with
some reluctance consented. At the
time appointed she did not appear.
She sent note to Knox, saying her
father had prevented her from meeting
him. Thinking to persuade her to
elope with him, he paid no heed to
the note or to the letters sent to him.
The belief that he had deserted her
preyed on the girls mind, and she was
taken i'll. She refused food and grew
rapidly weaker. Then her mind gave
way, and she was taken to the Buffalo
Hospital, raving maniac. Knox re-
Tented in the meantime, but appa-
rently too late; for when he called to
see her just before she was taken to
the asylum she did not recognize him
She goes into violent fits when her
father enters her presence, and he is
heartbroken over the result. Her con-
dition is so bad that the doctors have
little hope of her recovery.

coxEY's ARMY.

Coxey's army is still moving on to-
ward Washington. 1t arrived at
Hagerstown last Friday, where it re-
NAMED until Monday, when it again
took up the line ofmarch for Washing
ton. Monday night was spent at
Boonsboro, and Tuesday the army
reached Frederick, where it is sched-
uled to remain until today. The entry
into Washington will be made about
May LIST.
Although some uneasiness had been
felt by the people living along the
route, their apprehensions have been
proundless. The army has behaved
itself very properly and no breach of
the peace and no depreciation is re-
ported The people have generally
treated them with kindness, regarding
them as harmless but deluded men.
The army will not have much chance
to disport itself in Washington. The
commissioners have issued proclama-
ton requesting the army and similar
bodies to dispense before they enter
the District of Columbia CoXey says
they will not disband, but will stand
on their rights and enter forcibly If
they must. The police and military
authorities are prepared for any
emergency, and special regulations
have been put in effect to protect all
the public buildings. The men will
be accorded all the rights and privi-
leges that other individuals enjoy,
but as an organized body they will be
restrained and restricted.
We do not think the final result of
the army's demands will be great.

HooRAY! HooRAY! HooRAY

We take the following interesting
editorial from the last issue Of the
Martinsburg Herald:
When that sterling man and popular JEFF
ferson county Republican appeared on our
streets Monday morning, he was confronted
by large sized boom for the State Senate.
When his admirers discovered that that
could not be because OF the fact that the
holdoyer Senator resides in Jefferson, they
at once determined that he must and shall
be the nominee for delegate-at-large from
this delegate district.
1t therefore affords US unbounded pleasure
to announce the name OF Hon. John K. Ray
as the unanimous choice OF the Republicans
of Martinsburg for the office OF delegate at
large from the delegate district composed OF
the counties of Morgan, Berkeley and Jefrer-
son.
This popular outburst Is fitting tribute
TO one OF the grandest men in the Eastern
Panhandle His nomination will mean that
the Infamous gerrymander will not avail the
Loco Focos in the least, for just so sure as
the sun sets on the 9Th day of November
lust that sure will Mr.. Ray be elected.

EDITOR SHEPHERDSTowN REGISTER
in the hope that the Hon. Charles
H. Knott could be induced to sacrifice
his own multifarious private interests
to become candidate for the Legisla-
ture, his many friends not only from
his own county but from distant por-
tons of the State have spoken his
praises. These compliments coming
from other counties than Jefferson
were from admirers who are familiar
with his record as a member of the
State Senate and who know OF his val
liable services while member of that
body.
AS farmer and citizen Of the
southern section of our county, wish
to add Just few words in commencing
Mr.. Knott to the favorable notice OF
the Democracy of Jefferson county.
Senator Knots whole course while
our representative in the upper branch
of our State Legislature was charac-
terized by a conscientious and I'M
swerving devotion to duty as his prac-
teal common sense taught him to see
it. Lacking sympathy with star-gaz-
ers and rainbow-chasing theorists, he
subjected every measure coming up
for consideration to the test Of his own
practical treatment of affairs, All
specious schemes concealing a job, or
savoring Of channels Of usefulness to
their astute promoters, he condemned
most unsparingly without fear or favor
letting the chips fall where they would,
The farmers Of the State, through their
leading organization, have signallzed
their unbounded confidence in him by
electing him for three successive terms
master of the State Grange. When
he left the Senate at the expiration OF
his term the farmers throughout the
entire State realized that they had
lost a champion, and so expressed
themselves in resolutions at their meet
irgs. Possessed of thorough train
ing in matters pertaining to the routine
of legislation, he would be perfectly at
cas- upon entering the House Of Dele
gates, and familiar with all the details
of committee work, he could enter at
once upon a service of usefulness to
his constituency. Equipped then, as
he is, with four years of legislative
experience, acquainted with the needs
of the agricultural classes and having
their confidence and esteem, as is
shown by the fact of his elevation to
the honor ofmaster of the State Grange,
an uncompromising opponent of every
form of jobbery and corruption, with
what greater glory could the unterri-
fed Democracy of Jefferson county
reflect upon itself than in again send
ing him to State councils at Charleston?

Double Murder and Suicide.

A terrible double murder of two
children by their father, who after
ward committed suicide, occurred at
Niobe, on the northern edge of Wood
county, this State, last Wednesday.
The murderer and suicide was Floyd
Raidabaugh, an industrious and we'll
TODD citizen, who had always stood
well in the community. Mrs. Raida-
baugh left home Wednesday morning
to visit her mother, three miles away,
leaving her husband at home with the
two children, one aged eighteen months
and the other three years.
After her departure Raidabaugh
took the two children out to the barn
and hanged them both to rafters. He
then returned to the house and wrote
a note to his wife, telling what he had
done and of his purpose to kill himself
and assigning as reason that his ia
Their did not like him. He left the
note on the table, and returning to the
barn hung himself beside the two
children. When Mrs. Raidabaugh
came home she found the note, and
running to the barn found her husband
and children hanging dead in a row

CONSIDERABLE comment has been
caused by the appearance in Wash
ington of thousand or two working
men" from Philadelphia who descend
ed upon Congress like a wolf on the
fold to enter a mighty protest against
the passage of the Wilson bill. The
"workingmen" held public meeting,
psraded up and down Pennsylvania
avenue and visited the Senate, making
great STIR The whole thing was
very imposing, but the fact that Matt
Quay was running the affair, and that
the expenses were being borne by the
manufacturers of Pennsylvania, who
have so long been enriching themselves
upon high protective tariff, has sort
o weakened it as an influence upon
legislation. The days of the robber
tariff are pretty nearly ended, and no
tricks of Quay and his colleagues can
stave off the hoped-for consummation.
