Our Weak Points.


We all have them, but one among
the weakest is that of trying to dis
cover the weak points of others.
This is certainly a bad business, be-
cause the chances are, that when
we are searching for the faults of
others we are liable to expose our
own faults; and it is not we'll for
us to expose them under such Cir
cumstances, if at all. Therefore let
US not go on any voyage of dis
covery of faults of our neighbors.
The best people are not those who
appear to us that they do not make
mistakes, but those who acknow-
lodge their mistakes and try to
avoid them. Luther said: ITO do
so no more is the truest repent
ance." Why cant this thought be
impressed upon the minds of those
who habitually continue in the
vices in which they are INDUCING?
These few words of advice should
be thought of by those who make
those 'little" mistakes, as they call
them, as well as those who indulge
in greater evils.
Another thing, there is no use in
crying over the mistakes we make;
that will not help matters. Some
stubborn pigheaded people make
mistakes, and know it, and then
right on top of that make a greater
mistake in not acknowledging their
biunders. Acknowledge your mis-
takes and do not repeat them.
Life is too short to waste any of ii
in either hunting up or pointing
out the weak points in men, espe-
cially our nearest neighbors.
Sometimes when people wrong
us we are Inclined to strike back
Our first impressions are to do So
and a good many of us have struck
back many times-but it does not
pay to waste the energy and time
in this sort of thing, and we should
every day try barber never TO re.
sent an injury 1t is a hard thing
to do, especially if you have any
temper, but with little persever
ance, we can in time, conquer and
get rid of this desire to "get even
Any person with reasonable mind
can readily see and knows that ne
will be happier if be will not seek
revenge on every little injury done
him. We do not doubt the truth
of this fact, but we do not give il
our attention nor heed its warning
This matter of getting even with
your enemies every one will dc

We have observed that we have
the most friends when we have nc
need of them, and again when we
want them the most they are scarce
But this is the way of the world
But if we lack friends in time Of

become angry and make Indifferent
remarks about those whom we
would expect to befriend us 1t
may be that this lack of friendship
on their part is not different from
what we would have done under
the same circumstances.

The following gem, which has
been going the rounds of the press
without credit, should be cut out
by every man and carried in his
pocket as reminder when he de
sires to speak i'll of any woman:
Remember this, young men,-be
careful how you speak ola woman's
character. Think how many years
she has been building If, of the tolls
and privations endured, of the
wounds received, and let no suspi-
cions follow her actions. The
purity of womanhood is the saliva
ton of the race, the hope of fortune
greatness, the redemption of man.
Wipe out her purity and man sinks
beneath the wave of despair, with
not single star TO guide his life
in a channel of safety. Think then
before you speak, AID remember
that any hog can root up the fair
est flowers that ever grew, SO the
vilest man may ruin the purest
woman's reputation"

ApPENDIx-As the matter de
velops the people will understand
it better.
The soft coal miners have been so
repeatedly Informed that foreign
market would shut up their mines
and destroy the trade that they viii
hardly be convinced of anything to
the contrary, and yet here is a gov
ernment report covering last year,
which states that $685., 81 tons OF
coal were shipped to foreign coun
tries, while I,244.33O tons were re-
ceived here. The Canadian provIn-
ces alone took 2,S86, 232 tons of this
amount. The miners arenot likely
either to inquire why tariff on
coal is necessary to protect their wa
ges even in the face of fact like
that, bat the truth remains that
their present wages are scarcely
one half the tariff rate of seventy
five cents a ton.
At last the citizens of West yir
ginia are TO receive their share OF the
direct tax paid into the national
treasury during the years from 1861
to 1865. Under the act passed sew
eral years ago, this tax has been re-
funded to probably all tho States
except West Virginia and that she
has not received her portion is due
to almost purely Republican oppo-
sition in Congress. Mr.. Anderson,
in the early part of the present ses
sion introduced a bill providing for
the refunding of the tax to those in
this State entitled to it and after
much hard work succeeded in get
ting it through the House and it has
now passed the Senate. He de-
serves and should receive the warm
est thanks of not only those to
whom the money will be paid, but
from all who want everyone TO be
paid his honest debts.-Kanawha
Gazette.
A rip snorting "open letter" to

happy Republican family of West
Virginia.

For the next fifteen or twenty years
the tariff question is practically set

iff question, will be fought to fin
ish. And we honestly believe the

1t has been many years-if ever
since lobbyists fourished as they
did at the recentsession of the West
Virginia Legislature. Vultures do
not congregate where their is DO
carrion. The fact that so many of
these sbysters piled their trade at
Charleston is ample evidence of the
corruption that existed in the legis
Iative balls. On the school book
question many members seemed to
put themselves up for the highest
bids obtainable. When they had
gotten the limit they voted. If the
limit was raised they changed their
votes. The Republicans put APP
parent party advantage over every
other consideration, and the result
will cost the people very dear when
the school book law is enforced.
Among the lobbyist are some men
who have aspired to be political
leaders in the State. They sold
themselves for a few pieces of silver
and for very small price forever
degraded themselves in the eyes of
honest neutrality-suspicious. Reg

One of the most important points
gained by the administration in the
contract made for the 1900, 600
loan is the guarantee of Rothchilds,
Morgan and Belmont that they will
maintain the gold reserve of the
treasury. They have the ability to
do this and can prevent the New
York bankers who have been de-
plotting the treasury of its gold from
doing so any longer. The New
York bankers, bad they been patri
otic, could with their sS1 900, 900 in
gold in their bank vaults and $780,.
100000 more in bunks throughout
the country to draw from, have tax
en- the loan, and protected the treas
ury. But they have not been will
ing to serve the Government in any
way. Their aim has been to draw
gold from the treas ry and embar-
rass the Government all they posi-
bly, could.

The money question is now the
great question before the people of
the United States for settlement,
and, as on the tariff question, it is
the many against the few. 1t is
the people against the monied
aristocracy of the world. In this
country it is no longer question OF
party. In few months the reve-
nues of the government will meet
all expenditures, and the tariff
question be practically eliminated.
The people are in earnest on this
question and will throw party to
the winds. Bimetallism will be the
basis of the monetary system of the
world. Things are drifting that
way. The richest and most pros
porous nation on the face of the
earth should lead the way. No
party will ever be able to keep the
people of the United States on a
gold basis, for the bonds of party
slavery are loosening.
