THE ELECTION.

The elections in wards 3 and last Mon
day were quiet, resulting in the choice OF
Albion Carlisle, peoples candidate in
ward 3, and II. F. Maddocks, citizens
candidate, in ward 4, for aldermen.
Ward republicans have been criticised
somewh hat for not falling in with he cit
liens movement. But they seem to feel
that general meeting at the city, where
it is next to impossl bic for fair repre-
sentation of men from ward to be
present (some of them living ten miles
away ought not to make the attempt to
dictate who should represent them in he
city government.
People are sensitive, probably too much
so, when you touch them on the political
side. II the party committees think poll
tics should be eliminated from municipal
matters, let them meet, il they will, the
voters in separate meetings in the separ-
ate wards, present the matter to them,
and leave it entirely in their own hands
to decide who shall represent them.
Some OF the voters in ward felt that
they were debarred from their privileges.
1t may be said that they should have
been at the general meeting in the city,
and should have voiced their feelings and
wishes there; and in measure that is
true, but they can go four miles to their
own ward meeting more easily than they
can go ten to the general meeting. That
is one Of their complaints. They would
rat'er say for themselves what they want
done

Three Months Old.

On tue 18th of this month the
Daily will be three months old. 1t
has not had the support from our
business men that it should have
had, or what we were led to believe
it would receive. The men who
were the most enthusiastic in en-
couraging as to launch the Daily,
and who promised it advertising, at
reasonable figures agreed npon,
never had a line of advertising in
it's columns, and some of them even
do not take the paper. But not
withstanding this draw back, and
this disappointment, the Daily has
done reasonably well, aud if bust
ness continues as good with it, as it
is now. and has been since it started,
we can promise that it will be a per
manent fixture in this town.
We have no idea of abandoning
the Daily, and we hope to have it
visit you every morning, for the re-
mainder of the time We are in the
printing business; and that will be
for some time yet, unless we are
"called home" At the beginning
of the third month we expect to
make an important announcement
that will no doubt be appreciated
by all our patrons and readers.
Those who have so literally patron
lied the Daily, we return our thanks,
and hope to merit continuance OF
their favors.

Good Roads.

The United States Department Of
Agriculture is about to issue bulle-
tins on the subject of good roads,
embodying the results of investiga-
tions made under the direction of
the department. One of the prom
ised bulletins is on the subject of
wide wagon tires and the important
part they play in the question of
good roads Such bulletin will be
valuable if it gives the result of ex
perienee with narrow as well as
wide tires, not only showing how
well-made roads are kept in good
condition by broad tires that com
pact the materials of the surface
dressing, but also how narrow tires
eat into aud disperse those mate
rials instead of compactiDg them.
In England the subject of good
roads between towns and good
pavements in towns has been re.
ceiving careful attention. Within a
few years improvements have been
made in the construction of both.
The highway have been reconstruc-
ted in many instances and frmer
foundations laid. In the towns the
pavements are of more permanent
character than those in the cities of
this country, with few exceptions
where our people have come to the
conclusion that if paving is worth
doing at all it is worth doing well,
even if it does cost moro in the be
ginning. Care is also being taken
of the local roads, which are gen,
orally in better condition than they
were some years ago. In country
and town attention is paid to the
width of wagon tires. AS a rule
the English wagon wheel is wider
than the American, but the regula-
ations made within a few years de
mand, in many instances, still wider
tires, and the owners are not
anxious to pay the fines which are
levied for neglect of heregulations
The fact that wide tires preserve
the roads and narrow tires destroy
them has been we'll learned by own
ers of wagon, and as they have paid
more or less for the construction OF
the roads and have to pay directly
in case of their contributing unduly
to their destruction they are easily
convinced that it is cheaper to have
wide tires to their wheels than mar
row tires. 1t will be good thing
when that lesson is learned here
also.

Free Silver is the Cry Of the Masses.

Partersburg Sentinel: 1t is quite
the rule with gold bug and single
standard advocates to declare by
way of excuse and reason for their
position that busheI of wheat will
buy as much now as it ever would.
No greater heresy or humbug argu
ment was ever uttered. But it is
true that many unthinkiDg people
discovering that some particular ar
tfcle, or few Of them, are phenom-
onally low in price they assume
that the rule holds good all the way
through. In SO far as it is true at
all it is true as to the products of
the farm and the results of labor
If "a farmer thinks his bushel of
wheat will buy as much, or pay as
much, as it ever would let him try
it, or recall his experience, and the
fact will become apparent at once
that he is sought to be made a vic
tim of deception. Will a bushel of
wheat pay as much taxes as it
would ten or twenty years ago?
Will 1t buy as much coffee? Will it
pay as much interest, or discount,
on debt? 1t will, perhaps, buy as
much wooden goods, but the farmer
is twice a loser in this case, because
his wool has dropped one half in
price. Will busheI of wheat go as
far toward paying a farm hands
wages as it would when wheat was
worth one dollar or more bushel?
Will it pay as much road taxes?
And Doctors bills? There are some
few things that enter into every day
life that are cheaper, like sugar and
cotton goods; that is, cheaper when
the purchasing power of a bushel of
wheat is the consideration. but in
nearly all the unavoidabIes, like
taxes, and many of the necessaries,
the bushel of wheat will not pur-
chase more than one half that it
would formerly. And wherever
there have been reductions it is true
that they have been caused by the
forced down wages of labor, and a
corresponding cheapening OF their
products.
And as the price Ct anything, la
Dor or product, goes down, the value
of the dollar goes up. Not entirely
SO, but largely so this condition OF
affairs has como about through the
dcmonetizution OF silver. Restore
silver AID prosperity will be re-
stored.

Capt. John Barrett, of Cincinnati,
was at Antiquity, preparing to raise
the hull of the i'll fated Iron Queen.
Wiley Smith went to Middleport
yesterday to join the Eagle on
which he has accepted a position as
engineer
The ClaribeIl while backing out
from the Henderson wharf yes
terday afternoon got her wheel
entangled in line of shanty boat,
which caused her some damage as
we'll as delay, for some time.
The body of Matte Mosby, cham
bermaid, from Cincinnati, drowned
at the time of the Iron Queen dis
aster, was recovered Monday even
ing, fifty feet from the wreck, and
was shipped home yesterday for
burial.
Yesterday the Eagle come down
the Ohio and attempted to enter
the mouth of the Kanawha, which
was running out swiftly. Just as
she got her head in the river and
started up, the current caught her
fuel boat and the water rolled over
it from stem to stern, sinking the
fuel boat in "a minute; the head
lines broke and the stern lines were
cut away.
The KaDawha this morning was
rising rapidly, and the current is SO
swift that steamers can hardly stem
it. 1t reminds one of the run out
of September, 1861, when this river
backed the Ohio to above Letart, a
distance of thirty miles. This morn
ing saw-Iogs and ties are coming
out by the thousands, and steam
boats and men in skiffs are landing
them as fast as they can get hold
Of them. 1t is said that the flood
has been very destructive to the
interests of timber men at all points
above.
Four RATS containing about 49,
600 ties, and belonging TO Col D.
Sealey, were swept away this morn
ing. He had taken great pains to
hold them against the current, and
had succeeded in doing so, until this
morning, when the Columbia land
ed in against the RATS, and is sup
posed to have broken them loose.
The Charley Stone and number
of men followed the RATS. and land
ed one down near the bend. Dud-
ley Il Ball lost quite a lot of timber,
also.

Guilty.


Special Dispatch TO the Daily Register.
WINFIELD, W. VA, April 10.
John Duncan, Isaac Legg ana,
Jane Oldaker, who have been on
trial since Monday last, upon
charge of the murder of Joe Old
aker, on June 10, 1894, on Buzzard
Creek, in this county, were this
morning found guilty of murder in
the second degree. The verdict
was surprise TO all, as it was ex-
pected that verdict of murder in
the first degree would certainly be
returned against John Duncan and
Isaac Legg, as the evidence against
them, though circumstantial, was
overwhelming. The defense was
conducted by James B. Menager,
Attorney, who managed the case
ably, and made a telling speech in
behalf of the prisoners. There were
forty four witnesses examined. Tho
prisoners are to be congratulated.

Starre Your Temper.

Starve your temper. Give it
nothing TO feed on. When some
thing tempts you to grow angry, do
not yield to the temptation. 1t
may for minute or two be difficult
to control yourselG but try it.
Force yourself to do nothing, and
the rising temper will be forced to
go down, because it has nothing to
hold it up The person who can
and does control tongue, hand,
heart, in the face of great provoca-
ton is hero. What is gained by
yielding to temper2 For moment
there is feeling of great relief;
but soon comes a sense of sorrow
and shame with wish that
the temper had been controlI-
ed. Friends are separated by
a bad temper, trouble is caus-
ed by it. and pain is given to
others as well as TO self. That pain,
too, often lasts for days, even years
sometimes for life. An outburst
of temper is like the bursting of a
steam boiler; it is impossible to tell
before what will be the result. The
evil done may never be remedied.
Starve your temper. 1t may not be
worth keeping alive. Let it die!-
The Churchman.
