DUNRAvEN is still squealing like
little boy because he came over
here from England with sloppy
boat and failed to win the yacht
race. He has written pamphlet
now explaining how it came about
that his old sloop did not beat the
American yacht, and charges that
he did not get square deal. He
knows he lies when he makes such
a statement, and there are no true
sportsmen, be they in the old
country or this, who have not put
his lordship down as a blooming
cad for the way he has s9uealed
about losing the race. An American
would not make SO much fuss even
if he knew he had lost the race on
foul deal.

NEVADA.

CLAUS SPREcKLEs is figuring on
putting up two more beet-sngar fac
tories in California at cost of
over a million dollars. The same
gentleman agreed some years ago
to build factory in Nevada if any
community would guarantee to
raise beets enough to keep the fac
tory running. While it has been
demonstrated that the highest grade
of beets can be raised in Nevada,
larger quantities produced to the
acre than in any other State, and a
good income made by the produc-
ers, no community has been enter
prising enough to get together and
accept the offer OF Mr.. Spreckles.
OF course it would be some little
bother to make arrangements OF
this kind, and would smack some
of legitimate business, but no mat
ter how averse the people might be
towards doing anything in this line
it would pay them we'll in the end.
The building of half-million dol
lar plant (and that's what good
plant would cost in this State
would mean a good deal to the adj
dition of taxable property in the
State. One factory would doubt
less prove that the industry would
pay for the erection of several more
farmers would be raising crop
which they could sell for cash, their
land would be more valuable, and
a better state of affairs would exist
generally. We are not certain that
the offer Mr.. Spreckles once made
is still open, but it would be very
little trouble to find out, and if il
is it seems to us that certain com
munity cannot act to soon in max
ing arrangements and an agreement
to supply factory with material
as soon as one is constructed.

WHAT evidence is there that Sill
yer Republicans and Silver Demo
Gratis who remain in the old parties
desire that the National Convention
of their respective parties shall de-
eide in favor of gold? The evidence
consists in the pledges of Silver Re-
publicans and Silver Democrats
that if a majority of their respective
conventions are in favor of gold
they will join the goldites- What
greater inducement could a silver
man give to the gold combination
to spend money than the assurance
that money would do the business,
and what palmer suggestion could
be made that the convention would
be in the market than the assurance
Of silver men that the decision of a
purchased convention in favor of
gold would be acceptable to them

1T is now stated that the Nicara-
qua canal is to be- built by New
York and English capitalists. Be-
tween $7O,O0O,0OO and $85,OOO,0O0
will be required, and the amount
has already been guaranteed. This
is another great mistake this count
ry has made. The canal ought to
be built, owned and operated by
the United States government.

Why do the oddities contend
that it is necessary to prohibit the
use Of silver as money to maintain
the parity between gold and silver?
Because while silver was used on
equal terms with gold, silver bull
lion was worth as much as gold
bullion at the ratio established by
law, and equal value is not the par
ity of the gold-bug; he wants it all.

ONE of the strangest results of
the late elections is the defeat of
female suffrage in Massachusetts.
The women of that dear old COM
monwealth were not asking for
very much. Their fight was only
for the privilege Of voting in mu-
nicipal affairs, and yet the wires
sing to us from the Hub of the
Universe that there were three
votes cast against it in Massachu-
sets to one in its favor Hardly a
town that voted shows a majority
in favor Of the proposition to grant
suffrage to women in municipal af-
fairs. Saddest of all is the melan-
choly message that the hopes of
the friends of female suffrage now
lie buried beneath an avalanche of
votes.
o Miss Anna Shaw! O reverend
spinster! Why is this thus? What
is the meaning Of this political dis
aster to your sex? What is the
matter with your native State of
Massachusetts? California is ask
ed to invest woman with suffrage
without any restrictions whatever,
but Cape Cod folk deny her even
the privilege Of voting for a Pound

Why was the value of gold bull
lion and silver bullion always equal
at the ratio established by law,
while both metals had equal coin
age privileges? Because, there was
an unlimited demand for both at
the mint at the price fixed by law,
and nobody would sell either metal
for less than the mint price.

TRUMBOy IDEA OF 1T.

SG0aIOFlal CanuluaJe, uuu0T Tile Syo-
tenn of Statehood in Utah, is on the
right kind of warpath.
The statement appearing in the
press dispatches that Eastern Re-
publicans, prominent among whom
is John Sherman, have declared
that the United States Senate would
not be reorganized in 1896, whether
or not Utah's Senators take their
seats this Winter in order to avoid
a possible compromise with the sill
yer men, aroused the ire of Western
Republicans. Colonel Isaac Trumbo,
the Western silver champion, and
who will likely be one of the new
Senators from Utah, said to a press
reporter that the declaration served
to warn the adherents of the silver
cause, and while Sherman and his
co-workers mightprevent reorgan-
ization this Winter there would
come a session of retribution in
1897 when silver advocates might
unite with the Democrats and re-
tain Democrats as chairmen of the
different committees.
ct is impolitic and Unjust" he
said, "for any section of party to
bulldoze an apparent minority and
faunt their prowess in the faces of
the champions of the cause of pro-
lection because they differ on the
money question. The silver ques-
ton bears the same relation to the
East that the tariff does TO the West.
The West never really needed pro-
! lection, for we are not manufactur-
ers; but for the benefit of the whole
country the Western voter has pre-
sented an unbroken front for thirty
years in behalf of Republicanism.
The East is not directly interested
in silver, but for the advancement
of the entire country her people
should be even frmer advocates
than the West.
"That is the view taken by us
silver men, and when we are to be
ostracised from the party because
of our beliefs and convictions the
degree of ungratefulness exhibited
is equaled only by Sherman's heart
less criticism of our martyred Presi-
dent, James A. Garfield. Let the
Republicans of the East beware.
We will submit to fair presentation
of our case before the voters of the
United States and be reconciled to
their decision. but our influence can
never be stifed by political legerde-
main nor goldbug intrigue. Many
more such declarations will leave
Western Republicans without hope
and drive them from the party.
II would also point to the fact
that such a result would likely
throw the election next year into
Congress, and if such should occur
it would be impossible to elect a Re-
publican President on a gold plat
form, each State having but one
vote, thus giving thirteen out ofthe
forty five votes to the silver States"

Becker Bros. Fruit Farm.

Ga last Saturday we visited the large
fruit farm of the Becker Bros. situated on
the foothills Of the Blue Ridge mountain,
one mile from Millyille, on the Valley
branch of the Il. & 0. Railroad, and four
miles from Harper's Ferry. We were sur
prised to see the large number Of men at
work, the number being sixty.fve, and all
at work made n nice showing, they were en-
gagged in digging holes and planting grape
vines. Mr.. Becker informed US that he in
tended planting this season 10000 rooted
vines and 10000 cuttings, all for wine pur-
poses, the variety being Cynthian aud Vir-
GINA Seeding, these added to the $4,000
already planted, of which $4,000 are bear
ing. vines, will make one OF the largest vine
yards this side Of the Rocky mountains
The Messrs. Becker expect to extend their
VINEYARD to 500 or 1000 acres in the next
few years. The vines average 1,760 plants
to the acre which will stock the 500 acres
with 500 900 vines, which will make in the
neighborhood of $50, 900 to SOC, 900 gallons
of wine per year. The soil of this farm has
been Analysed at the West Virginia Exper-
mental Station and it il pronounced to be
equal to the soil of the finest grape-raising
sections Of France. No better soil, it is
said, for raising grapes, can be found on
this side of the Continent. We were told
by Mr.. Becker hat there would be a fair
crop of peaches this year in bis peach or
chards of which he has quite a number,
some varieties will be a full crop and others
only a half crop.-HUPer's Ferry Sentinel
