INCREASING DEBTS.

The national administration
during 1898 issued $50,0C0,000 of
bonds, and decreased the cash sew
eral million dollars.
The Morrison county commits
sioners attempted to issue $4,000
in bonds in January, 1894, to cut
down the floating debt that had
been created by extravaganza and
Encouragement. The law didn't
allow them to do that, but there is
no way to prevent them from con-
tinuing to issue county orders to
any limit they chose. The only.way
to stop it is to elect new set of
county officers from top to bottom
that will practic e economy, and look
after the interests. Of the taxpay ers.
Democracy is great on professions
of economy, but in practice they
are found sadly wanting.

On Wednesday last John Stump,
chairman of the board Of county
and candidate for re-
election from the eastern district OF
the county, met Jacob Neissius at
the premises of a prominent, citizen
in Buckman town, and Immediately
began a most vicious worldly attack
on Mr.. Neissius, who is member Of
the Republican county cOmmitteefOr

his TRADE until Mr.. Neissius resented
some Of the statements made, when
Stump at once struck him in the
face. The former autocrat of that
district is trying to bulldoze all citi-
zens into subsection, and will resort
to almost any methods to stem the
tide that will sweep him and his as

s.LOYAL POPULISTS."

This weeks Representative, the
leading Populist paper in Mime
sofa, refers to the campaign in tho
10th district and says:
"The election of DIR. Hemstead
to the senate and A. III. Hendrick-
son to the house may decide the
complexion of the next Legislature
and both are good men and loyal
Populists.'
Democrats who are supporting
DIR. Hemstead claim with equal
certainty that he is loyal Demo
crat. Someone is being deceived,
and it will be new feature inpol.
itics if a candidate can successfully
pose as loyal to the principles OF
two parties that have radically
different principles. One side or
the other is being deceived, and a
candidate who will deceive either
side would naturally lose the con-
fdence of all voters. One side OF
the other must be betrayed on
party questions if the support Of
both parties should elect him. 1t
is position most candidates would
avoid.

A. Democratic Inning .

Geo. l.. Becker, the Democratic
candidate for governor, spoke at
the opera house tn a small audience.
compared with the crowd the other
speakers have had. There was not
that grand out-pouring of the people
to hear him that there formerly was
in Morrison county to hear SO PROM
inent Il Democrat, and the reason
for it must be that so many Of the
Democrats have gOue over into the
Republican Franks. On the stage
with him were C. j. Haines, Post
master Medved and E. F. Shaw,
and they looked lonesome indeed.
He made some remarks on the tariff
which were in. line with the usual
Democratic ideas on that matter
Free trade is what they want. Mr..
Becker paid u light compliment to
the Republican party by giving them
credit for the laws Of the past twenty
five years. He did not intend it as
such, but when we consider tina dur
ing that time we have been the most
progressive nation on earth it can
not he taken otherwise. Mr.. Becker
told the story of his first campaign
for governor twenty-five years
ago, when his opponent was
ex-Gov. Ramsey. The result
this time will be the same as it was
then, but he did not. say SO. He
stated that he was not here for the
purpose Of converting Republicans
into Democrats, but to warm up the
Democratic party and rekindle the
fire of devotion to party III their
breasts. Hebegged them to stick by
the party, and it was the most pit
eous wall we have heard any cam
paign speaker make this season.
There is something about q Demo-
cratic speech than makes people tired
and during the latter half of Mr..
Becker's speech people were going
out.
AS Il fire-kindler the speaker was

heard of any serious contiagra tions in
the breasts of Democrats who re-

A Thrilling Experience.

Some time ago John Lemon, a well
known engineer on the fourth divis-
ion Of the b d O.. had one of the
most thrilling experiences that has
ever befallen one on this road. In
coming west with heavy train at
Board Tree grade his engine broke a
valve yoke and he was unable to
proceed with his engine and had to
send to Cameron for another engine
to assist him. On the arrival of the
en- CINE from Cameron everything be.
ing in readiness they proceeded all
right until they began descending
yelling grade, just east of Cameron,
when to eheir dismay they found
that the train was beyond the con
troll of the brakeman. Both engine
ers reversed their engines, but of no
avail. They passed through Gamer
on at the rate of 80 miles an hour
and rounding the curve just west of
Cameron they found the track men
had torn the track up. Both crews,
realizing the perilous position, got
onto the footboards to jump of, but
both engines retained their proper
positions and passed over that por-
ton of the road which was torn up,
striking the opposite rail and pur-
sued their course as if nothing hap
pened. Mr.. Lemon is known among
his brother engineers as a man of
veracity and his experience, while
remarkable is fully vouched for.

Telephones for Everybody.

The expiration of the patent on
the magnet telephone places very
useful piece of mechanism at the
free disposal of American house
holders. Magnet telephones are not
commonly used as transmitters but
are convenient and satisfactory for
talking over short routes. The lapse
of the patent which protected them
is hardly likely to have much effect
upon the general telephone systems
of cities. People who wish to be in
communication with many places or
many people will doubtless keep the
service which they have nov. But
for private lines connecting dwell
ings with one or two points the mag
net telephones will answer very well.
1t is 8 very common experience for
families t. have one or two places
with which it is n special conven
fence to be able to talk Near rela-
tives or intimate friends often de-
sire to be so connected, hn' do not
care for a telephone for general rse.
The magnet telephone will fit such
cases, and has now the great recon
mendation that it can be bought, so
that the first cost of it is the only
outlay that it involves, aud even
that will not be great. The magnet
telephone will be especially useful
in the country, where the matter Of
stringing up wire is d simple
thing, involving no electric risks, and
no invasion of property,

Coal and sugar

Bob McEldowney, with his own
fair hands, penned the few fine lines
that follow, congruvial to several
much discussed problems. They
were penned to read. You are re-
spectfully and respectively invited
to attend:
Oh, we want a tariff on coal
Why?
So that coal producers can charge
more for coal than coal is worth.
There is not the slightest danger
of foreign competition in coal.
There is, therefore, not the slightest
excuse for tariff ON coal.
Does the foreigner pay this tax?
Guess not, the man who burns the
coal pays it.
Oh yes, the poor laboring man
wants tariff on coal.
The Louisiana sugar planter wants
tariff on sugar
Why?
30 That the sugar producer can
charge more for sugar than sugar is
worth.
In his case there is some excuse
for there is danger from competition.
But sugar is one of the necessaries
of life.
1t ought to be made as cheap as
possible. But not by swindling the
government in Mckinley bounties.
The sugar industry of Louisiana
still claims to be an infant When
will that child get its growth?

Successfully Raided.

Last Wednesday night most sue
cessful raid was made upon an illicit
distilery in Randolph county by the
Revenue officers. The party consist
ed of Deputy Collectors John J. Mar
tin and Leland Kittle, and Deputy
Marshals Garden and Mehen, and
Senators John B. Finley, of the Col
lector's Office, who went along to see
the sport, and to keep the officers
from harm. For some time it was
suspicioned that there was moon
shining being carried on in the Cheat
Mountains, not far from Elkins, and
the officers, set to work to ferret it
out. A few days ago it was located
in the widest part of that romantic
country. 1t was situated up one of
the narrowest and toughest ravines
that come down between two of the
steepest mountains in that section,
and was about one third of a mile
from the main road. Last Wednes-
day night the officers on foot went
up that narrow defile and surrounded
a we'll built log house and demanded
admittance. They told the occu-
pants of the house chat they had
them surrounded, and that resistance
was useless. A voice from within
admonished the officers that unless
they went away from the door that
daylight would be shot through them.
Soon, however, the moonshiners be.
came convinced that they were sur
rounded and opened the door. Old
Sam Garfield and Bone" Humphreys
were found within, and promptly Sc
cured. In the house was found a
still of ten gallons capacity, in good
running order, 300 gallons of mash
and about 60 gallons of what is To-
cally known as singing" The still
was broken up, the liquor spilled and
the house burned, thus wiping out
the entire establishment. Garfield
is an old offender and has served one
term in the penitentiary for a like
offense. Humphreys is a new man
at the business. The men were TIA
ken to Clarksburg and lodged in Jail.
Humphreys has wife and six little
children, who are left alone and I'M
protected up in the mountains.
The raiding of these distileries is
very hazardous business. Those
moonshiners think that they have
the right to manufacture their rye
into whisky, and that it is tres
pass for the officers to modest them
and will fight to the bitter end in
defense of their property, and if they
have any chance they will kill an
officer as quickly as they would a
native rattle snake. The breaking
up of this place is quite important.
1t is evident that these parties be-
long to an organized gang of moon
sinners for much of the grain found
had been supplied them by outsiders.
The distillery is said to have been
better equipped than nine tenths of
such places that are being operated
under license.
