ERANCE MOURN,S.

NJ. Carnot, the President of the
French Republic, is dead. He was
ruthlessIy murdei ed while attending
a fete in Lyons, and while the streets
we're crowded with the people who
had assembled to welcome his visit,
by miserable, worthless cur by the
name of Santo. The stiletto of this
useless and worthless william pierced
the heart of the President as he rode
in his clrriage, and was bowling TO
the people, and he died few hours
afterwards. He was not the most
brilliant of French leaders, but like
our own Washington and their La
Fayette, he was conservative. trust
worthy ard faithful to the great in
terests committed to his care, and
France mourns his untimely and
unnecessary taking away. The SIM
ilarity OF his assassination borders
close upon those of Lincoln and
Garfield, and while the police and
soldiers saved the life of the wretch
who committed the outrage, we
trust that like Booth and Guiteau,
he may find speedy punishment at
the bar of Justice.

CONGRESS-.

The q. S. Senate is still tinkering
away at the Tariff bill, without ac-
complishing much---ii anything. The
Democratic majority have succeeded
in giving to the farmer free wool, and
to the manufacturers a tariff on i'm
ported wooden manufactures. One
is protected; the farmers sheep in
dustry must look out for itself with
out protection. One is contradlc-
ton of the other, and where the
principles of justification come in
can hardly be conceived. If the
farmer must compete with the for
eign producer, then why should not
the hcme manufacturers compete
with foreign manufacturers without
tariff.

THE MURDER OF CARNoT.

The assassination of President
Carnot defies reasonable explanation;
further investigation is required to
show anything like motive for the
horrible deed 1t is said that Santo
is an anarchist, yet even the anarch-
lists require some sort of reasoning
to bring them up to the point at
which they expose their own lives.
President Garnet was SO close to
the end of his seven years term as
President of the Republic, and his
reelection still undetermined, that
the effect Of the atrocious act on
public affairs may fortunately be as
sumed as absolutely at minimum.
France was preparing to change her
executive, and it is a matter Of prov
identlal disposition that the assassin
is a foreigner, not Frenchman pos
sibly concerned or interested in the
procurement Of the sudden death.
Carnot worthily sustained the dig
nifty of a great name. Contemplating
the immense difficulties that sur
rounded the Office, it may safely be
said that he was greater man than
hia orandfathar and Franco will not
readily forget that Carnot was able
to maintain throughout his admins
tration, the chief object of civilized
government-Peace. He consoli
dated the Republic, conducted it
along the safe paths of conservative
rule, and with such conservatism for
the amelioration Of social conditions,
as were possible under often very
embarrassing circumstances. The
purity of his private life forms con-
spicuous lesson to public men, and
his amiable character as free from
intrigue as from scandal, will be ap-
preciated by France to much great
er degree through the deplorable end,
than if he had quietly retired to the
peaceful shades of private life," as
it was recently announced to be his
intention at the close of his term.

THAT JOHN Brown MONUMENT
There is movement on foot to erect
a monument at Harper's Ferry to
the memory of John Brown, and to
which a gentleman in Washington
has contributed $4,000. The mat
ter has moved the over sensitive
Farmers advocate to remark that
if it is possible to insult the people
of this State, by a monument at
Harper's Ferry, to the assassin, John
Brown, it had better be made proof
against dynamite" While Brown
was lawfully convicted and hung,
still any of his admirers have right
to erect monument to him, and no
one has right to destroy it. These
little matters would better be borne
in mind when dynamite is suggest
ed.

WILSON VS.. CAMDEN.-Ex. Gov. E.
Willis Wilson had a meeting here on
last Monday afternoon 10 his own
interest as candidate for the U. s..
Senate. Col. James G. Frazer call
ed the meeting to order and intro
duced him. He spoke for about two
hours and a half, and the audience
was slim at the outstart for the want
of proper notice; but before he got
through the assemblage was quite
large. About half and half were
Republicans and Democrats. The
Ex-Governor scored Mr.. Camden
and the half dozen of democrats
whom he claimed were defeating
democratic legislation in the United
States Senate, but he always tried to
hide the Senatorial hide that he was
trying to tan by pitching into the
republicans at odd times. He an
nounced that he WASH t in this cam.
paign with ''swallow-tall coat and
kid gloves" but he seemed to be
hunting the milllonaires, and the
millionaire he was after seemed to be
in the democratic party. The Ex-
Governor will no doubt believe him
self, should he assert thath wouldn't
be a millionaire, although a demo-
crat, if he could. He made very
entertaining speech, and as the years
gather round him, we note that he
shuts off some of the personal abuse
that he used to indulge in in his
younger days. He was given very
attentive hearing by our people.

Ex-GoV. WILSON'S SPEECH.

A<A-uO5s ~ a f-fS(&s - ~ - - - -
We had the pleasure Of listening
to Ex-Governor Wilson's speech, last
Monday afternoon, and not beng a
Democrat, we cannot find any spec
ial fault with it, except in SO far as
he charged the Republ cans in Con
gress with retarding legislation. He
admits that every department OF
Government, was under control of
democracy. If this be true. ard it
is true, why does not democracy as
sert ITSELF relieve the burden OF dis
trese, doubt, depression and s'arya-
ton that is now going on in the
country. How can the people ex-
pect minority Of Republicans to
overcome the majority of Democrats
in tie two Houses of Congress and
! give them better times The ma
iority should do it or be ousted as
unworthy and incapable of beng prop
err guardians Of the public welfare.
1t is not fight as to whether Mr..
Wilson or Mr. Camden should be
U. S. Senator for the next term; but
it is a fight for home interests and
and everything that would build up
home Interests. 1t is not a question
as to whether one is millionaire
or the other in moderate circum-
stances; but it is question as to
what policy is best adapted to the
thrift, succor and growth of the
American people. And, undoubted-
ly that means Republicanism, OF
Henry CLAY Wig Protection. He
spoke of a Benedict Arnold in the
American Revolution, and compar-
ed the coterie Of Democrats in the
Senate as traitors with him. He be-
lieyed in caucus; but he failed TO
say anything of the twelve disciples
who abandoned the caucus at Charles
ton and made Mr.. Faulkner, Sena-
tor Possibly Ex-Gov. Wilson
wasn't in that. In conclusion he ad.
vised the people when they wanted
a man to represent them, not to hunt
millionaire, but he failed to an
nounce the logical conclusion of his
personal campaign, "hunt me- Com
munistic, populistic, or socialistic, il
is terrible thug to have so much
wealth in the Democratic party, with
SO little of it spread around for the
people; and this war that the Elk
Governor is making against Demo
cratic money may entitle him to
considerable eulogy even if he dies il
the last ditch at the next campaign

ALMOST A MURDER IN MORGAN
CoUNTY,-On Wednesday morning
about o'clock, Eugene Leonard and
j. d. Weber were on their way home
when they heard loud talking near
the cemetery, and on investigating
found Edward Shelton, Robert Do
Ian and lewd woman nrmed Smith,
alias "Hominy Stomper,' engaged in
a quarrel. The woman asked Leon
ard to take her home as she was
afraid of Shelton and Dolan. They
started off together and were follow
ed by the two men who swore they
would not stand that, and one of
them asked the other for a knife.
When about opposite W. N. Buz.
zerd's, Shelton attacked Leonard,
striking him in the back with sharp
instrument, which must have been
razor, although when searched only
q pocket knife was found. Leonard
knocked his assailant down twice
while he was slashing him, and then
became too weak from loss of blood
to longer defend himself. Dolan and
Shelton fed, leaving their victim, as
they supposed, in dying condition.
Leonard is young man of unusual
nerve and muscle and walked down
street to procure assistance. Drs.
Gilpin and Green dressed his wounds
and he was carried home antleis in
pTecarious condition. He is cut in
some nineteen different places, the
most serious being on the left side
of his neck and head, where an ar
terry was almost severed. The coat
he wore is cut into ribbons and the
rim of his hat is cut through. Shell
ton is email man about 81 years old
and tramped here from Grafton. He
says his home is in Richmond, Va.
The woman Smith came here from
Marlinsburg, where she had been in
Jail, and has been staying at Peter
Stotler's. He will not be tried until
the Circuit Court meets in August.

HEDGEsVILLE.

The Presbyterians have an inter-
esting Sabbath school here. 1t was
organized about two years ago. It
now has a membership of so, with
Prof. Bowers, Supt.; DR.. Harris, as
sistant Supt.; John Hull, Secretary !;
DR.. Butler, Treasurer. The school
has an organ which they purchased
on the installment plan and have
paid than half the price promptly as
the payments became due from SUD-
day school collections, not a cent
coming from church collections. 1t
also has choir. This, however, was
organized as church and Sunday
school choir and 80 remained until
quite recently.
Too much cannot be said in COM
mendation of the efforts that have
been put forth by the members of
the Ladies Mite Society of the Pres
byterian Church in Hedgesville.
Their organization dates back about
two years, during those years their
membership has had an average of
IL. They also have had an organi-
cation of Misses as an adjunct. Since
their beginning they have paid into
the church fund $237.6O. When we
consider the small size of our town,
and the fact Of there being other
churches in the place to be support
ed, and the many other disadvan-
tages under which they have labored,
to say nothing of the opposition
with which they have met coming
from those who have their names on
the Presbyterian. Church book. We
are constrained to the opinion that
greater efforts have not been put
forth nor that better results have
been realized by many of the socie-
ties that have had much better ad-
vantages. No matter what occurs
they are never discouraged they
never flag; they move on towards
their objective point, viz, the pay
ment of the church debt. Quite re-
Gently death invaded their circle and
took from them their much loved
sister, Miss Lizzie Hull. She had
been treasurer since the organiza-
ton began. She was an excellent
worker, good advisor, true friend,
and christian lady. The blow was
a severe one, indeed, but knowing
that He who rules above, doeth all
things well, and that their loss is her
eternal gain they submit to his di-
vine will with renewed efforts to
meet her in the glory land. G.
