Even Old England has utterly re-
pudiated the Free Trade party with
all of its theories. The treacherous
betrayal of the people by Sir Robert
Peel so years ago, an act of party
per6dy and party dishonor," which
the Conservative party has never con
doned, bids fair to meet with condem
nation similar to that which befell the
Free Traders in this co untry last No
vember The magnificent majority
which the Conservative party has Sc
cured in the election now going Quit :
dicates that the the revenue laws OF
Great Britain are likely to be revis-
ed on protective lines. The British
masses are tired of being hewers OF
wood and drawers OF water for few
titled nabobs. Glittcring general
tiles have no charms for their ears.
They know what Protection did for
this country, they know what an at
tempt to secure Free Trade did, and
are now prepared as never before to
make an effort to have their wrongs
iighted.

Written for the Herald.l

BRO. SMITH: After an absence of
some months l will again attempt to
contribute something for the columns
of your worthy paper.
Times are still pretty dull in this
part of the country. In fact, by
reason of the long, hot days and the
inactivity Of the people, one becomes
accustomed to certain state or con-
dition usually called indifference.
That is, we arrive at point of partial
activity. At this point we become
seemingly Indifferent to passing
events. The regular routine of life
comes and goes without stirring the
latent fires that slumber in the soul.
Then again there are times when the
soul is all life and activity, times
when the smallest events are sudden
ly magnified and the soul is lighted
up, and all the faculties of our nature
become aroused. lis then we start
anew upon the pursuits Of life, with
new fields to explore, new victories to
achieve. In contemplating life with
all its possibilities, as we'll as its la
bilities. we are forced to exclaim,
"What is life. Is it an ideal, or is
it an actual existence. If it is only
an ideal existence, only an imaginary
substance with no responsibilities and
possibilities, then we might afford to
sport upon the barren fields of mac
tivity gathering flowers that possess
no lasting perfume, flowers that wither
and die as soon as plucked from the
parent stock. Life is not an ideal ex-
istence but living reality and with
this thought before us we assert that
no man ever died, that is, no man ever
ceased to exist. He may change his
residence; he may move to some for
eign country, or take up his abode on
some other street; we may not see
him, but there are some who meet
and converse with him each dav.
We may not meet him in the way;
we may not grasp his hand as in days
of yore, but he still lives in our af-
fections, and will still live. So, too,
when man is said to die or cease to
exist among us. He is not dead but
has only moved to some other street,
to some other country; he has only
taken up his residence III some strange
part of the great city OF Gods eternal
universe. When we grasp the SUI
preme truth that life is a divine reali-
ty; that our short sojourn here is not
the whole Of life, but only the STEP
ping stone TO still higher and more
noble life beyond, we shall be able 10
comprehend with some certainty the
possibilities as well as the RESPONSE
bilities that surround us each day we
live. We may then be able to realize
that no man liveth to himself.

TRAIN ROBBERS IN OHIO.
"A Lake Shore Train Held Up by Bandits
- at Recess Switch.


- at Reece's Switch.
TOLEDO, July 25.-Just after midnight
train Nc. 81 on the Lake Shore road to
which was attached an express car, which
runs between Buffalo and Chicago, was
stopped at Reece' switch, midway between
Archbold and Stryker, forty-four miles
west of this city. When some distance
from the switch the engineer saw the
switch was turned, displaying the red
light, and atonce turned on the air brakes.
Several shots were fired at the cab. One
OF the shots put out the headlight. When
the train stopped four robbers went to
the express car, in charge of Messenger G.
b. Nettleman, of Buffalo, and ordered
him to open the door and come out.
Nettleman refused, and the robbers
threatened to blow up the car. He then
came out. When the door was opened
the four men entered. They secured the
contents of the local safe, amounting to
about $3.50, and then went at the big safe,
which contained considerable money.
Since the Kendalvilie robbery the express
company has supplied its cars with dyna-
mite proof safes, and this safe stood tho
test of four dynamite cartridges fired by
the robbers. This discouraged them, and
they jumped from the train and disap-
peared.
The trainmen believe that the despera-
does were old railroad men, but as all
were masked with handkerchiefs none
were recognized. Altogether there were
six men in the party. The large safe, which
resisted the attacks Of the robbers, con-
tanned large amount of money.
WAUsEoN, o., July 25.-Five men are
under arrest here on suspicion of being
connected with the hold up of the Lake
Shore train at Recce Station. The detec-
tiyes refuse to state what evidence there
is against them. Two tramps who were
on the train jumped off when the shooting
began and ran back to Archibald and noti-
fled the Lake Shore people there and in
less than three hours special train car
rying the sheriff of the county and a posse,
with several Lake Shore officials and de-
tcetives, arrived at the scene of the hold
up. The sheriff and his men, as well as
the detectives. Immediately started to
scour the adjacent country.

Tyler County was a prohibition
county for so years. The laws were
fairly we'll enforced until the discov-
cry of oil brought in an entirely new
class of people when "speak-easies"
sprung up everywhere and would not
down. A vigorous effort for three
years finally resulted in the county
court granting license to three hotels
in Sistersville, when those who had
been most persistent suddenly chang
ed front and went to the circuit
court and secured an order suspend
ing the licenses granted. In the
meantime prominent citizens of the
county met aud demanded the resigna-
ton of the two members of the coun-
ty court who voted for license. 1t is
scarcely necessary to add that the
thirsty oil man has no trouble to find
the wherewith to slake his thirst, and
the town of Sistersville goes on paw
ing streets with the proceeds of fines
imposed.

President Cleveland and his Cabi-
net are if possible more subservient
to the Spanish than they were to the
British in the Nicaragua affair. They

Resistance to tyrants is obedience to
God. The Cuban patriots are max

they fail it will be largely because the

Little Mountain, Va.


During the ~ years intervening be-
tween 1865 and 1898, Protective Tar
iff laws were in force IN this country.
In that time the interest bearing debt
Of the United States was cut down
from s2,33a,s3I, 2oS to s5s5.o2o, $50. a
total decrease of sI,647. sol $50, an
average annual decrease of 500 I4.-
SS4. During the two years Of at
tempted revenue reform which ended
on June 80, last the interest bearing
debt of the United States increased
from S5S5.o57, 900 to S7I7,2o2, $50, a
total OF SI3I,i6I, $50, and an average
annual increase of SOS. $50, sos. If
any stronger argument is required to
prove the beueficeBce Of Protective
Tariff and the depressing. crushing
fallacy of the Free Trade theory, we
do not know OF anything better than
to refer TO the present price OF wool.

Cash Is the Essential.
VOLUME FIFTEEN, NUMBER ONE.

VOLUME FIFTEEN, NUMBER ONE.
With this issue the Herald passes
another milestone. OF its ups and
downs since the first number was is
sued tits needless to now refer. From
the best information obtainable it has
never lolled in the lap OF luxury,
been fondled by fair fortune, or
possessed the papof patronage. There
is no reason why the best this earth
affords should not have been it dover
because it has always been true and
steadfast Its columns have bristled
with facts clearly expressed; no one
ever seriously questioned the truth of
any of its publications, neither has it
at any time been guilty of party here
sy. Believing that
Right is right, since God is God.
That right the day must win;
that
To doubt would be disloyalty,
To falter would be sin
The Herald has steadfastly upheld
and maintained the doctrines and
principles of the great party which it
represents, with charity for all and
malice to none. At least that was its
reputation when two years ago we
undertook the difficult task of minis
tering to the intellectual wants of the
good people OF Berkeley and adjoin-
ing counties.
When we took charge Of the Herald
two years ago Democrats werein power
in the city, had control of the school
board, and the great free trader, Wr,.
L. Wilson, represented the Second
District in Congress. That is all
changed, and not only so but a Re-
publican United States Senator has
been elected. That the bold aggres-
sive course taken by the Herald has
had something to do with these
changes we are persuaded to believe
no one will gainsay.
Another most pleasant feature is
the fact that the Herald is in full ac-
cord with and enjoys to remarkable
degree the confidence of not only the
Republicans of Berkeley County, but
of the State at large And the treat
ment accorded and support given us
by Democrats as well as Republicans
is also a matter of hearty congratula-
ton. Our social intercourse with our
brethren of the press has been most
pleasant and we are persuaded that
we have no truer friends than those
with whom we are at times forced to
measure pencils.
While the Herald has been we'll
supported and while our business has
steadily grown, we have. been con-
siderably handicapped by the credit
system in vogue among the papers of
the town. 1t was aggravated by the
business depression, for it is difficult
to pay when one has not the where
with to pay. But now that business
is reviving and farmers are blessed
with good crops, we feel assured that
the Herald will not be longer forgot
ten. We have striven to be patient,
believing our constituency to be hon
est, and cannot think anyone will be
SO base as to betray our confidence.
In conclusion, we ask our friends to
aid us when it is in their power to do
so and all may rest assured the Her.
aid will, as in the past, chew to the
line, let the chips fall where they
may"
