Ex-senator camden,s views.

Elk Senator johnson n. Camden,
who has, perhaps, done more for the
development of the State than any
other man, is now in New York, and
to an interviewer expressed himself
hopefully in regard to the business
and financial outlook, particularly
in our own State. With the exeep-
ton of the Elkhorn region, be says
wages are advancing and friendli
ness peryades the intercourse of mi
ners and companies. The iron and
steele manufacturers he says, are be
ginning to feel the effects Of the un-
iversal business improvement. Gen
orally, wages have been voluntarily
advanced, and the laboring popula-
ton of the State is more fully en-
ployed than it has been for the past
two years. Long delayed orders
from railroads and buildars have
been rushed in upon the manufac.
turers, with the result that many Of
them are working overtime in order
to fill these orders. The iron and
steel mills of West Virginia and
Pennsylvania are doing an enormous
business, and some Of the companies
are having a hard time TO find cars
enough to transport their product.
81 see no reason to believe" con
tinued Mr.. Camden, chat this i'm
proyement in business of all kinds
will not keep on. We are reaping
the first financial fruits of the Will
son bill. In my opinion that meas
ure is well calculated to give this
country the greatest prosperity. The
main difficulty with it is that it has
not been law long enough for the
people to see for themselves how ben
efcial it will be, and how much bet
ter off the country will be because
of it. | take no stock in the eriti-
cisms of our political enemies that
the law will not yield enough reve-
nue. to meet the running expenses of
the government" Mr. Camden ex-
pressed the confident belief that the
Democratic party will win next year
on an honest money platform.

AwHEELIyG MYSTERY
That Should Be a Warning TO Reckless
shooters in Morgantown,

On Thursday evening last Jacob
Baumberger, young man. was walk
ing along the street in Wheeling
eheerfuily conversing with friend
when be threw his hands up to his
breast and cried out that something
hurt him. His friend caught him in
his arms rs be fell and he was car

died in fearful agony, all the time
crying out to those about him,

had never harmed anyone An ex-
animation proved that a IS calibre
bullet had passed through Baumber-
gers heart and lung. No one of the
many passers by heard anything re.
sembling the report of gun and the
case is shredded in mystery The
only PLAUSIBLE theory is, that the
bullet was fired high into the all
from a distant point and struck
Baum berger in its descent Every
effort is being made by the police &c
find the party who fired the fata
shot.
The Intelligencer= of Wheeling
says: The person who fired the ia.
tai shot was guilty of manslaughter.
He was firing in the city limits
which is a violation of law, and q
death caused, even by accident in
the commission of an unlawful act
is manslaughter"
What brings the case close home
to everybody is the fact that il one
man walking cheerfully on the street
having no quarrel with anybody, in
the best of health and spirits, can be-
shot to death without warning, from
source so mysterious, the same
fate might befall anyone.
The affair should be a warning &c

About as silly, ridiculous, and I'M
scrupulous thing as Republican edi-
tors can do is to harp on the Treas
ury deficit. The deficit was brought
about by the Mckinley tariff which
as revenue producer was failure
and then by the fearful profigacy of
- Reed Congress which saddled
millions of debt on the country that
the Democrats must pay. After the
adjournment of the first Billion Dol
lar Congress the people swept the
Republican party from power in 1894
in manner, that should have taught
the leaders "a little decency, but it
didn't They are still bent on the
course of disgraceful prohigacy they
always pursued and will not be
trusted again. Had it not been for
the careful and rigid economy of the
present administrator the Treasury
deficit this year would have been
about hundred millions instead of
the forty three millions now estimat-
ed by Secretary Carlisle, When Mr..
Cleveland handed over the govern
ment to Mr.. Harrison in 1892 he left
magnificent surplus of hundred
millions, this was soon squandered
and the reserve funds that had previ-
ously been held sacred were turned
into the Treasury and spent. Be
sides the surplus Mr. Cleveland dur
ing his first term paid off one hun
bred and five millions of the national
debt. Even with all the distractions
the Republican leaders could throw
In the way the Dem ocratie tariff
would almost have paid the debts
left by the Republicans and main
tanned the government but for the
loss of the income tax which was OPP
posed almost to a man by the Re-
publicans. 1t is also a well known
fact that at the close of Mr.. Harri-
sons term Secretary Foster had
plates engraved to print bonds, but
Mr.. Harrison put "his foot down on
it'' and agreed with Mr.. Reed who
said "let us leave Mr.. Cleveland an
empty Treasury and put the Demo
Gratis in hole" For people whose
records are not only unsayory but
SO unpardcnably disgraceful it does
not look well to talk about Demo
cratic incompetency."

Miracles Have Come Again

The marvellous discoveries of re-
cent years and the progress made by
science often leads to the expression
that "the age of miracles has come
again" 1t would seem so indeed.
Had we nothing but electricity the
same might be said In speaking Of
this matter the Pittsburg Times says
the following:
So familiar with wonders has the
age become that it pays no heed to
an announcement that mans voice
has been shipped from one city to
another, and that it will speak at a
certain place in day or two. A
photographic greeting from the foun-
der of the Society of Christian En-.
deavor, in Boston, has been received
in Pittsburg, and will be delivered
at convention of branch of that
society to unconventional horn,
so that all present may hear it.
What would our respected fathers
have thought f they had been told
that such things would be done in
this day? That. the prediction was
from a disordered brain.
And so if told that a man in this
day would be able to sit down in one
city and write a letter in another.
That has been done, and in the near
future will be as common as the 9th
err 1t is done by aid of electricity
and telegraph wires, but the prospect
is that it will be done in the not dis
tant future without the wires. One
will find the right current, and as
fast as he writes in one city repro
duction of what he has written will
appear in another, every crossed
and dotted,
Then good bye to the postofices,
except here and there, in regions
where the people do not believe in
the ways of science-in the back
woods and on the prairies, where free
silver at 16 to l is still the hobby.
That will be revolution! The post
offices then will not be worth fight
ing for, and the administration and
congressman will have a rest. So
will the letter carriers, whose legs
often ache now.
The next thing is the airship, and
it is coming. 1t will arrive in due
time. Then one will travel without
the discomforts of dust and smoke
All the berths in the sleeper. will be
lower ones, and there will be no ne
cessity to engage them days ahead.
There Will be plenty for all every
trip. And there will be delightful
breeze in the hottest weather. The
breezes raised by disputes over rights
of way and things of that sort will
all cease.
1t is great age in which we live,
when a man can ship his voice as he
would ham, and in one city write a
letter in another hundreds of miles
away The next will be greater,
but the Imagination is stumped in
an effort to describe it. If the faith.
ers could return they would say the
age of miracles has come again.

The fact that the country is pros
pering under the lower Democratic
tariff law is the reason so called pro.
lection is losing its hold upon thG
masses. The party that again at
tempts to increase the tariff will be
wiped off the face of the earth. The
people now understand that high
tariff means only increased profits
for the mill owners, 40 higher wages
for the laborer and much more ex.
pensive living.

WAS HE MURDERED.
John A. Griffith Has Not Been Seen
Since July 4, When He Left Oakland
for His Saw Mill at Crellin.

TERRA ALTA, w VA, July 10
Word has just reached here that
John A. Griffith, Of Brandonville,
this county, was murdered between
here and Oakland the fourth of July.
He left Oakland on the evening Of
the Fourth for Crellin, a distance OF
five miles, where he is employed in a
saw mill, and has never been heard
of since. Near the Yough river bridge
his hat and coat were found. The
coat contained one letter with his
name on and a set of by laws Of the
Junior Order of Mechanics, of which
he was a member; also a bill book
which contained about fifteen dollars
in currency. The citizens searched
the river to day, but were unable to
find him. He has a wife and five
children and was peaceable man
among his employees.

MAJOR HoxfE,s REPORT
Location Of Lock No. 10 Near Morgan
town-WOrk on Cheat RiTer-Meney
Expended bv Private Firm.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July l5.-The
report of Major Hoxie, United States
engineer in charge of the government
works on the Monongahela river in
West Virginia and Pennsylvania,
and the Allegheny and Cheat rivers,
was made public to day at the war
department.
The story of the improvements on
the Monongahela river is pretty
thoroughly rehearsed, beginning
with the construction of locks and
dams Nos. and 9, which were com
pleted in 1889. With regard to the
work on the additional lock and dam
to be known as No. 10 the report
states that survey has been made
for the purpose of determining the
location of this dam, which will
be near Morgsntown.
Major Hoxie states that the inter
ests of naigation would require the
lock to be fixed at Falling Run, be
low Morgantown, and this location
would also be of benefit to the town.
There has been a good deal of local
opposition encountered and leg0tia-
tons are now In progrm reconcile
the conflicting interests. There has
been appropriated for this dam the
sum of $4,000, which is too small
to justify the commencement of the
work.

The report shows that no work
has been done by the United States
government on the Cheat river, w.
Va, during the past year, inasmuch
as the appropriation for that river
was exhausted in January, 1892.
Dewing d Sons, lumber dealers at
Point Marion, have expended 3d.
