PROFESSOR COX.

Prof. Cox came to town to teach
the people how to vote. As usual,
he went out with the majority against
him. The fact is, in our opinion,
Mr.. Cox had no right to vote here,
and he simply keptup his old cheeky
line that he endeavored to enforce
on our best citizens and taxpayers
when he insulted them by attempt
ing to instruct them in orthogra-
ply. On this line we can refer him
to a number of our most prominent
Republican and Democratic citizens.

MORGAN AND BERKELEY
COUNTIES.

The dirtiest thing that was ever
done to clean people was the stealing
of one delegate from the good people
of Morgan county and one delegate
from the good people Of old Berkeley.
The men who did it were good peo-
pie, and many of them no doubt
have passed to their final resting
place, and we hope and trust with
due repentance for that glazing and
enormous sin. Gods sunlight never
taught them to do such dirt but we
trust that Gods forgiveness is equal
to the occasion. The result of
the recent election shows that
time and tide equalize such mat
tiers. The first thing the Leglsla-
ture should do would be to right the
wrongs of these wrongedpeople, who
have deliberately been cheated out
of their proper representation by the
democrats who did knowingly do
wrong. Give to Berkeley and to
Morgan what the law and what the
practice of years gave them before
the democrats became larcenists.

THANKFUL.

The INDEPENDENT takes unto it
self congratulations that no time
during the warm, and in some in
stances passionate, campaign it has
had any personal controversies,
any bitterness Of antagonism, and
neither feuds or factional contests.
1t has aimed to give and inspire the
truth in frank, candid aud friendly
way, recognizing the rights OF every
citizen to do and differ, under the
law, in every particular as he deem
ed best. Our person and our homes
are saved under the law, and we are
not permitted to violate that sancti-
ty as to another mans person, prop
erty or home. Under Moses the
Israelites passed through every i'm
aginable distress to the land of Ca
man, with cry tor protection, and
God was with them. Our forefath-
ers left the inhospitable shores of
England for conscience sake and for
a stronger reason, the liberty of con-
science. They set up a home here
and builded well. Through seven
long years they fought for their
homes and home protection, and shall
we now prove unworthy sons of such
sires and yield our homes, our indus
tries, factories and markets to the
old oppressors? No, never Thanks
be to civilization, humanity, duty.
From the cry of the child arriving
into the world asking sustenance to
the outgoing spirit, asking protection
through the endless ages of eternity,
every whisper of the breeze and ev.
cry thought OF the brain inspires and
teaches all the great lesson of self, as
well as collective protection, and
this the people have again voiced.

The express and mail cars on the

Fully a dozen cattle cars we're
piled up in the wreck, killing and
manning many of the DUN brutes.
Degrange, Pierce and Lippencott

WEST "a. REDEEMED-

After years Of dependency and
gloom, doubt and uncertainty, since
the days of Pierpont, Wiley and
Boreman, West Virginia comes forth
with the strength and manhood of
her own voters, unshackled, untram-
meled, free and redeemed from the
night of Democracy that has so close
ly yelled and ruined her brightest
prospects. True, the miner will
have to succumb to the reduced
prices of coal under the Wilson Tar
iff Bill, and the Nova Scotia miners
will reap that advantage through
the Wilson foolishness. The same
is true of other West Virginia pro-
ductions, but how satisfied and glor-
lied we should feel when looking in
to faces of citizens OF other states,
to convey the knowledge that we
have broken the Wilson and Cleve-
land shackles from the energies and
enterprises Of W. Va. people. Now,
then, let it be known, that in West
Virginia, where unmeasured riches
abound in the soil, and in the
mines, there is room for capital, and
that labor will receive both remun-
Grafton and protection.

HURRAH FOR DAYTON.

To Mr.. A. G. Dayton has come
the honor of defeating Judge Lucas
first born in politics. Mr.. Lucas
made the fight against Judge Hoge
that first made Mr.. Wilson a mem
Der Of Congress, as he also did in
making Hon. G. J. Faulkner Sena-
tor. His progeny as to Mr.. Wilson
specially has been long lived, but as
with all other matters of physics
and nature, it is ended, and ended
under the impress and decision of
one of the most terrific judgments
that free people can give. This
wonderful and grand victory adds
great lustre to Mr.. Dayton's achieve
ment, especially as so many good
soldiers in the same cause went down
before Wilson's free trade lance. We
congratulate Mr.. Dayton and also
the people in calling this desirable
halt and in achieving such success
for the people.

Politics and a Knife.


WELLsBURG, W. VA, November 6
Geo. Patterson was severly cut
last night by Capt. Robert Cakes,
while discussing politics in saloon
here. Patterson made some remark
that Cakes didn't like and after a
few hot words the oters present took
a hand in the debate, Cakes then
drew a knife and slashed Patterson
on the cheek, making bad cut.
Patterson was taken to the nearest
doctor and had his wounds dressed.
Cakes is a Democrat and weighs
about 275 pounds. Patterson is a
Republican and weighs about half as
much as Cakes. Cakes is a we'll
known man in Pittsburg.

in this and other sections Of the dis

it is fit and proper that some CT the

sr and capable person for that posi-
ton.

According to the Democratic the

CRANKIsM GONE MAD.

Government ownership of railways,
telegraphs, telephones and of industrial
enterprises generally, which is being
advocated by the Populist leaders, is bat
the rankest paternalism. 1t IS the So
cialisin of the commune, and means that
men must become machines, or but the
fixed cog of a wheel with no hope Of Gd
vancement, no chance for 4 change, ex-
cept in wearing out. Every other indi-
vidual would be wearing the collar of an
intensely personal governmental direc-
torship, with the balance of humanity
but suDpliant tools of the more power
full machine. All spirit of enterprise
would be quenched, and any farther per-
sonal triumphs in the fields of invention
imr POSSIBLE. Our industrial bee hive
would be converted into one of drones.
The highest incentive to activity would
be found in the effort to secure a govern
mental badge Of slavery, the govern
ment's slave becoming the oppressor of
all others.
How the government is to acquire all
~
well understood. The Populist party
make no disguise of the intended way.
Ii is by practical confscatior. through
a scheme of high handed robbery, 1t is
a scheme Of compulsory fiat bonds, the
interest on which is to be paid in fiat
scrip, the bonds III the end to be paid in
the same worthless scrip. as are also the
wages of the millions of employees. 1t
is worse than a fac steal, it would be al
open hold-up robbery. Everything would
beirredeemable, therefore valueless, from
the start. For the interest of the coun-
try, as a whole, straight out confisca-
ton, with no pretended indemn fication,
would be better. Better for the men
who would be forced TO give up their
property and better for all concerned.
for the reason that there would be some
basis left for future Operations.
