WE grieve to see that we have fallen
under the high displeasure of the st.
Louis Republic. Why We should enjoy
this distinction. to the exclusion of the
other '.rural roosters. we are unable
to surmise. There was a time when
that journal was the exponent of Dem
ocratic principles. when it labored
earnestly and fearlessly for all that
Democracy advocated: but for some
thing over two years it has been play
ing jackall to a very insignificant lion.
With the displacement of Col. Jones
made to give way to one more plant
departed the vigor and glory of the
paper. Of it one may well exclaim,
How are the mighty fallen! A paper
that might be powerful factor in
shaping the views of the party, content
to "caper nimbly" to the selfish and
ruinOus views of D. r. Francis! De-
void of influence because devoid of sim
cerity and candOr. and forced by the
Pertle Springs Convention to doff its
Pecksniffian mask. it has,, at last, in
sheer desperation, concluded to ''roast'
the country editor who dareS to declare
his independence of the treasonous
combine. To this have Missouri Dem
ocrats come at last. We must think,
act and speak as the owners of the
Republic dictate, or punishment will
be swift and certain. Under such con-
ditions we can truly say with Daniel.
1.-THE abominatiOn of desOlation is in
the holy place"
For twenty-eight years we have edit
ed the IRON COUNTY REGISTER, and
during that entire term have zealously
striven to advocate the principles OF
pure Democracy-the Democracy OF
Jefferson, Madison and Andrew Jack
son. All these years we have toiled
in our poor way and humble sphere
for the reduction of the tariff, the aut-
onomy of the States, and later for the
restoration of bimetalism. We have
insisted and still insist, that the money
of the constitution, gold and silver,
should go hand-in-hand to a common
destiny-the prosperity and glory OF
this great country. We have been and
still are unalterably opposed to strik-
ing down one-half of our money and
thereby approaching the value Of the
other half three-fold. Such action We
consider unwise, un-Democratic and
ruinous in the extreme. These prin-
ciples-fOr fifteen years unchallenged
cerely and ardently, and have not seen
fit to adopt the devious. mystifying
course of the st. Louis Republic and its
little joss.
In this connection it may not be
amiss to recall the happy remembrance
of the time when the country editor
did yeOman service for d. r. Francis.
When his own city of st. Louis repu-
dated him by an adverse vote of 49,
600, the country editor was loyal and
true, and the country rustic rescued
him from the avalanche of defeat.
We see now what we did not per-
ceive at that time, that we were laying
the foundation broad and deep for a
one-man rule in this State, and sub.
sequent decentralization of the Demo
cratic party and diminutiOn of our
Democratic majority.
The Pertle Springs convention, de-
spite the sneers of our esteemed cotem-
porary, has accomplished much good.
1t has enabled the Democrats of this
State to emancipate the party from the
Franciscan heresy and to place the
ban on State Committee organized

Mr.. ALEXANDER W. SMITH, Chief of;
the Department of Public Comfort OF
the Cotton States and International
Exposition at Atlanta, has arranged
with the Pullman Sleeping Car Com
pany for three hundred sleeping cars,
to be parked on the railroad sidings in
and about Atlanta, and has arranged
with the city for the necessary santa
~ service. These sleeping cars will
accommodate between 1000 and 5000
people, apd the berths will be rented
for 81 per night. Mr.. Smith has Sc
cured from the Southern Railway, sid
inys enough to accommodate one-third
of these cars, and expects to place the
rest with the other roads. The listing
of rooms by the Public Comfort De-
partment is very satisfactory, and in
cludes apartments in many of the
haadsomest residences in the city.
Public spirit has been appealed to. as
it was in Philadelphia, during the Cen
tenniai, and the disposition of the peo
pie of Atlanta is such as. to make thi:
feature more thorough than it has ev
err been at any great Exposition.

1t has been reiterated by writers on these

IN THE RUINS OF poMPEll
Evidences Of the Commences OF Slavery
Found ON All Sides.

Evidences of the commonness of slav-
cry in the time of Pompeii S destruction
are abundant on all sides. The gladia-
tors were class of slaves trained for
fighting, and some of the wall scrib-
blings refer to their condition as one of
slavery. Here is the translation Of an
advertisement painted on wall near
the amphitheater:
Twenty pairs of gladiators, paid by
Decimus Lucretius Saltius Valeus, prince
in'the time of Nero, the son of Caesar
Augustus, and ten pairs of gladiatoEs,
paid by Decimus Lucretius, the sen Of
Deci4aGS Valeus, will fight at Pompsii
on the Ilth, 18th and l4th Of April
'"Fhere will be proper hunting scene
amd the awnings will be spread WFit-
ten by. .Clev- -Emilius Clev, writer OF in
scriptions; wrote this by moonlight.
The gladiators' barracks were ample
for the housing of 1000 or 5000 men,
and it is matter of record that at least
1000 were engaged at one time in the
life or death combats which stretched
over long festival The actors in these
murderous sports were barbarian"
from various parts of Europe or from
Asia Minor and Africa.
In the Naples museum is bronze col
Lar which was worn aboCt the neck Of q
man whose skeleton was found in
Pompeiian house cellar; on the collar
is engraved, in Latin, these words: Il
am slave. Arrest me because am run
ming away" could not help thinking
while looking at this ingenious and
cruel substitute for convict's dress
that it was possible that the poor wretch
who wore it may have been one of the
descendants of the blond haired Brit
ons brought home by julius Caesar tc
grace his triumph 100 years before Pom
peii disappeared beneath its pail of lava
and ashes.
In the GheeZeh museum, Cairo, one
may look upon the black and shriveled
face Of that Rameses whom we know as
the Pharaoh of the Oppression. Mum
mics of other Egyptian kings, priests
and people are common enough. These
primeval men, who far antedated Pom
peii and Rome, stand undecayed in our
presence But Pompeii presents the pic
ture of an entire city resurrected from
the dead, with all its appliances Of life
and means Of pleasure, profit. comfort,
luxury, vice and sustenance. The life is
gone out forever, but the mummified
city remains--a monument of human

The NesuLAR THEORY.
How, According O. tt the sun and the
Planets Were Formed.

Et8nctn w ere ENFH1ENs
The finite mind can hardly conceive
of time when there was neither sun
nor planets. yet both the Bible. and sci
ence teach us that such state Of affairs
once actually existed. We have all read
the Biblical account Of creation. and not
a few of MS have spent valuable time
reading learned essays CA the condition
of things in the time of "the begin
ming. Ii is not the object of this
mote to discuss the origin of the sun
and the planets from a Biblical stand
point, nor do we mean 20 give a resume
Of scientific opinions on the subject On
the contrary, we shall eonfine our re-
marks 10 what is known as the "nebu-
Lar hypothesis, or nebular theory Of
the origin of worlds and suns.
According 10 the opinion of the most
learned astronomers. the 'beginning" is
ushered in with the existence through
out all space Of an undefinable matter
of substance called ''nehula. This neb-
ala was of such wonderful thimeSs that
il il believed that millions of miles of
it could have easily been compressed III.
TO q common thimble The heavier
portions gradually gathered around
eomnloa cefiters after the lapse of ages
and formed planets, suns and stars,
the light and heat of the two latter be
ing due to the clashing of their compo-
nent atoms as they gravitate continually
toward the center of the mass.
The nebula origin of the sun and in
cidentally of the planets also is thus
finely set forth in recent article by a
we'll known British writer: The matter.
or rather the gas which composes our
sun, was once spread out to the fartheSt
orbit of the outermost planets of our
system-that is, 10 the planet Neptune.
From the orbit of Neptune this mcon-
eeivably thin mass began 10 converge,
growing denser and denser and smaller
and smaller as it gradually approached
its existing dimensions. AS IL con.
densed, revolving upon its axis, the so
lar mist left behind it at intervals por-
tions of cloudhlle matter cast OF from
its equator.
These masses of gas, undergoing a
similar evolution TO that of the sun, or
central mass, have, with great slowneSs,
hardened into what is now Jupiter, Sat
urn, the earth and the other planets.
Meanwhile the main central mass, al
ways retreathg, eventually formed the
sun itself, the present chief luminary OF

:. If the Bertillien system of identified

opposite significance in the fact that

WEST VIRGINIA OIL NEWS.
A General Review of the Work Done
in the Fields,
During the Month Of June Man
nington Ahead in the Amount Of
New Production - Miscellaneous
Oil News.

There is a larger amount OF money
and labor being expended this year in
the defined oil fields of West Virginia
than there has been for some time, and
more men are being employed. In the
Sistersville field everything is the en-
bodiment of activity on every side.
New rigs are going up like mushrooms
in every direction, while the number
of wells drilling is considerably greater
than it was this time last year. The
same state of affairs exist in the Man
nington and other fields of the State,
and the indications are that the
month of July will be the busiest in
the history of the State for several
years.
The work in both the Sistersville and
Warrington fields is away out on the
frontier and is being pushed as rapidly
as possible. At Sistersyille the greater
activity has been the cause of a larger
number of new residents moving into
the town. and as a consequence new
houses are being built and the town is
better, in a business way, than ever be
fore. The same state Of affairs exist
at Warrington.
In the table appended below VIII be
found a correct account OF the number
of wells drilled, the number OF dry
holes. producing wells and the total
amount of new production in the State
