Obituary,

Michael Sheets departed this life June
L. 1895, aged 60. He was the father of
nine children, three of whom preceded
him to the spirit world. He leaves a
wife, six children and host of friends
and relatives to mourn, but not as those
who have no hope.
An intense conviction of right was his
ruling characteristic. True in friend
ships, ne was lover OF his home, devo-
ted to his wife and fond of his children.
He was great sufferer for months.
The writer had the pleasure OF preach
ing for him in his home few weeks be-
fore his death, and his testimony was
clear and glowing with the witness OF
the Spirit.
He has now passed from the storms,
tumults and battles OF life, and has
reached the peaceful shore where storms
and tempests never come. He has
gone to his reward His children and
wife will miss him their hearts are sad
for he was lowing husband and father
We will all miss him, but our loss is his
gain. He was honest in all his dealings
with men, never seeking to take any
| advantage, and was ever willing to hell
the poor and the needy.
Funeral services were conducted al
his home by the writer, at the close Of
which the large assemblage of neighbors
and friends moved to the Morgantowr
cemetery, where all that is mortal was
inferred to await the resurrection morn
We tender sincere coincidence to the
grief-stricken wife and children and
cherish the fond hope that all the
dear ones who were bound together by
the tenderest ties of love may meet
again beyond the river of death, in the
land of perpetual peace and bliss, where
the shades of death never gather, and
where the chief Shepherd feeds his flock
and leads them unto living fountains O

Elkins for President.

There is no doubt in the world
that the active presidential bee takes
an occasional dab at Mr.. Elkins'
bonnet. Elkins is pre- eminently the
greatest Republican in West Virgin.
ia, He is a superior man to McKin.
ley, better man than Reed, more
popular man than Harrison, and a
more available man than far off ALI
son. Judge Golf has placed himself,
by his unfortunate judicial blunder,
outside the category of infinite presi.
dental possibilities, vice-presiden
tial and otherwise.
Mr.. Elkins is not entirely our ideal
of a president, and as a Democrat
we would oppose his election for
many and the best of reasons.
Still he is for US in West Virginia,
the best of all Republican candidates.
We hope to see him get the nomina-
ton. Personally he is one of the
most social and agreeable of men,
and he makes most capital polit.
ical bulls eye and our gun is ready.

The Value of Paper Money,

The New York World says: ere
plying to correspondent not long
ago the World said that the people
do not get a government dollar note
without paying 100 cents for it. To
this fiat money publication called
the Under Dog replies that mo per-
son gets dollar note without giving
100 cents for it, but that all the ma
tion gives is the cost of the paper
and presswork. We suppose, then,
that when a banker gives his note
for $4,000, instead of paying in
money he is really parting with
nothing except the fraction of cent
which the paper in the note cost him.
Mr.J Pierpont Morgan or Mr.. August
Belmont would look at the matter
differently. Their experience has
taught them that when an honest
and solvent man gives a $4,000
note it costs him $4,000.
Every paper promise to pay,wheth
er issued by individual, bank or gov
eminent, is worth its face so long as
the issuer is known to be able and
willing to redeem it at par. The
moment there is doubt on that point
it depreciates, and when doubt be-
comes certainty that the issuer is
either unable or unwilling to pay at
all the promise becomes worthless.
During the whole time when our
government, in spite of the nations
great wealth and credit, could not
redeem the greenbacks on demand
they were deprecated. The moment
it resumed specie payments they be-
came worth their face.
"The truth that the value of pa
per currency is measured exactly by
its redeemability ought to be patent
to every one of intelligence"

The Democratic Outlook,

The Washington Star says non
partisan observers express the opin.
ion that the situation is Frightening
bit for the Democracy. Two
months ago pail seemed to hang
over the party. With a big deficit
in the treasury to shoulder, and sill
yer threatening to sweep everything
before it, the organization seemed to
be on the road almost to dissolution.
Things were at skies and sevens all
over the country, and ordinations
and recriminations between party
leaders were the employment of the
hour 1t seemed impossible, indeed,
for an adjustment of any kind to be
made that would bring the party in
to fairly good fighting shape for
1896. But the outlook is not nearly
so black to-day. 1t might, it is true,
be great deal brighter, but the fact
that change has taken place, and
for the better, in the party's condi-
ton is noted on every hand"
The Star also states that the Re-
publicans see the improved state of
things in the Democratic prospects,
and are not so over confident as they
have been of having walk over next
year in the Presidential race. There
is moderation in the tone of their
utterances," says our contemporary,
(which speaks volumes" Those
perfervid prophets who have been
able to see Republican majority
mountain high rolled up by any good
man the party might choose to NOM
mate, are taking up the slack of
their confidence. Next years con-
test no longer wears the aspect, even
to them, of one sided affair. 1t now
promises to be real race, with the
certainty that whatever is won will
go to no idler.
The strongest Republican, as well
az the strongest Democrat, will have
to be ''put up"
Perhaps there is not so much I'M
easiness in the ranks of Democracy
concerning the result of the election
OF 1896 as the G. o. p. would gladly
believe. The last two years has been
a period of hard times and of course
the Republicans blame the Demo
Gratis for it. They forget the hard
times under Republican misrule.
That the Democratic party has made
some mistakes we will not gainsay
or deny but these mistakes do not
effect the party principles. They
are to-day as pure as ever. The prin-
ciples of Democracy are right and
will prevail. We will be strictly in
the fight in 1896. And we venture
to assert that some of our friends
"the enemy" who are so confident of
success will be the most disappoint.

The Atlanta Exposition.

The Cotton States and Interna-
tional Exposition, to be opened at
Atlanta, Georgia, next fall, promises
to be the greatest-the Worlds Fair
eXcepted--ever held in this country.
Among the States of the Union which
will be most prominently represented
will be Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,
New York. Illinois and others. The
Legislature of Pennsylvania has ap.
propriated $3S, 900 for the States ex
hibit, while the State Assembly of
Massachusetts has appropriated $685.,
600. or the $4,000 appropriated
by the former State, $4,000 will be
devoted to the Woman s Department
The colonial exhibit from Pennsyl-
vania will be especially fine, includ-
ing the Liberty Bell and other relics
of great value sent by the Philadel-
phia general council.
Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New
York and Illinois will all erect build
ings as headquarters for the citizens
from the respective States visiting
the Exposition, but will install their
exhibits in the buildings of the Ex-
position Company. In California,
theswork of organizing and prepar-
ing for the exhibit from that State
is in active progress, and reports in
dictate that California will lead the
van of the State displays at the Ex-
position. A display which cost $75, :
600 to collect will be taken to At
lanta.
The Machinery Hall at the Expo
sition, which is nearly completed,
will be one of the most graceful build.

clan porticos over the entrances will
be particularly beautiful. The gables
will be ornamented with staff figures
in bas relief, representing Progress,
and Mechanical Arts. The designs
will be lifelike and expressive. Ma
chinery Hall will be so arranged that
all exhibits will front on two main
aisles, running the entire length of
the building. Most of the exhibits
will be operative, and the machinery
will be representative of the very
latest improvements in mechanical
ingenuity.
The acceptance of Dr. Daniel c..

We have said that the present in

to change. And the change is likely
to come, not only from the extra en-
deavor of the sound money men un-
der the lead of Mr.. Cleveland to
spread the truth more widely, but
also from the constantly improving
times. Men, after all, in the final
round up, are apt to measure poll
cies by results. The Wilson Tariff

views are the policies in operation
at this time. In so far as business
is affected by law, these are its gov
erning forces at present. And when,
in only few months, there has been
such general recurrence of good
times and such plain promise of bet

Death Of John II. HOFFMAN.

The sudden death on Monday, of
John H. Hoffman, the well known
cashier Of the Second National Bank,
was a great shock to the community.
There are few men whose health is
more uninterrupted than was that of
Mr.. Hoffman. For many years he
has sat at his desk in the bank with
the regularity of a clock He was
capable of an immense amount of
work. He boosted Of having no holt
days and no sickness to interfere
with the regularity of his business
duties. 1t is true that for few days
prior to his death he was unwell to
an extent that compelled him to re-
lax to a degree his usual business
industry. hnt was in and about the
bank. and when stricken with death
was seated on the portico of his
dwelling.
Mr.. Hoffman has been 80 long and
so intimately associated with the
business of the town and county that
the news of his demise will be re-
ceiyed with surprise by the whole
people. He commenced business here
more than 35 years ago as a pension
agent, at time when the results of
the war of the rebellion had made
many claimants upon the govern
ment His business was expanded
by characteristic energy until it be-
came very profitable, and in few
years he had accumulated fortune
which has been subsequently used
as the basis Of the banking enter
prise in which he embarked after
quitting the pension business, I'm
der his careful management his bank
has grown until it has become one of
the substantial institutions of the
town, and had just erected and
moved into the most handsome bust
ness quarters in our city.
While Mr.. Hoffman's assiduous
devotion to his business, his untir
ing industry and unrelenting, ma
chine like labor, have won for him
an enviable business success, his IN
timely death is but another warning
that there is a limit of endurance to
which the human organism, no mat
ter how robust, can be subjected,
and that sooner or later there must
be a reckoning-generally sudden
and startling-for the over strain
and neglect of the laws of health.
Neither the temperate life, nor the
regular habits, which the deceased
observed, can make amends for the
relaxation which nature demands
and which he habitually neglected.
He lived to a good, ripe age, but his
vigorous vitality might have scored
him many years more had his bust
ness habits been broken up with an
occasional holiday and his wasting
energies thus given a chance to recu

A Good Town Council.

The Town Council is but doing
an act of justice in completing a
sewerage system for the town.
1t was not right that one half of
the town only, should have the bene-
fit of sewerage for which the whole
town had to pay. Sewerage has be-
come a recognized necessity. There
is nobody who disputes this And
the voters would long ago have en-
dorsed and ordered it if fair and
comprehensive proposition for a
complete system had been presented
to them. 1t is to be regretted that
it is being done on piece meal,
patch work plan, but this is better,
even if not so economical or salts
factory, than not to have com
pleted system.
We believe the present council
was elected by the low tax, conser-
vative element. At least, there was
to bea halt called on the progress
sive tendencies of their predecessors.
But they are blooming out into a
very fair and satisfactory body of
administrators, They are conserva-
tive enough not to make tax payers
nervous with visions of extravaganza
and yet they have the courage to I'M
dertake what the welfare of the town
demands
Nobody will demur to the new
sewer lines which are being put
down. They give necessary drainage
to parts of the town which are in
need of it, and the property holders
had right to expect it to be done.
