GivAn1 Ourselves.

We are best friends to those to whom
we give ourselves. We may give money
to those for whom we have but httle
care; our patronage to those for whom
we have no special regard; our in
fuenoe to those whom we despise; but
we give ourselves only to those whom
we love. 1t is this gift of self that God
wants. He does not ask for our names
simply, or our money, or patronage. or
influence; He wants the Individual, the
personality, the heart. This is the
least that we ought to offer Him who
gave Himself for us.-United Presby.
terian.

Turkey and the Armenians.

The first thing the Sultan does in
the way of the reform is to disarm
the Armenians-so that he may pro-
tect them without offending the
Turks. This is a splendid begin
ning-for another butchery. IN
armed the Armenians are helpless,
and this condition will suit the
Turks exactly.
1t is true that in spite of whatever
arms they had the Armenians were
at the mercy of the Turks, but en-
tirely unarmed they are defenseless
in a den of wild beasts The Sultan
understands the situation perfectly
and has made this move to strength
en- his none too good hold on his own
people. There are safer heads in
the world than that of the Sultan OF
Turkey.

Further Deficiency Created by the Last
Legislature.

Some days since we called the at
tention of our readers to the failure
Of the last Legislature to make sufi.
cient appropriation to pay legiti.
mate claims allowed for the sup.
port of lunatics confined in county
jails, and that there will be a de,
feieney in that fund of $4,000 to be
provided for by the next Legisla.
ture
A still worse condition of affairs
now exists as to the appropriation
for criminal charges.
Out of $4,000 appropriated for
that purpose for this year, from o.
tober 1, 1896 to September 80, 1897,
there had been paid on the 21st day
of this month, just q days after the
fund became available. the sum OF
$4,000, leaving only $4,000 to
meet these claims during more than
eleven months yet to come and it Is
estimated that this $4,000 will all
have been paid out by the first day
of next January, thus leaving moth
ing with which to pay these claims
to be allowed for nine months.
The effect of the failure of the
Legislature to provide for the pay
ment of these claims will be that
the witnesses and others who get
them will have to hold them till the
Legislature in 1897 provides for
their payment, or discount them to
paper shavers that infest every
county seat.
The taxpayers cannot even put
them into the sheriff on their taxes
as the sheriff cannot get credit for
them at the Auditors Office, as
nothing can be paid by the Auditor
without appropriations.
Further proofs of the false pre-
lenses of a Republican Legisla-
ture trying to make the people be-
lieve that that was "the most bust
ness and economical season. ever
held" and another big debt for the
next Legislature to pay.-Kanawha
Gazette.

A just Cause for Complaint.

There is good deal of complaint
about the Ohio River Railroad
trains blocking the street and road
crossings on Eleventh street. In
order to cross the track people
have to wait at times over half an
hour before the train moves away.
If it is necessary to blockade the
track at these points trains should
be cut apart at the crossings. The
officials are probably not to blame
so much for this as are the train
men, However, it should be stop
ped.

Live Adds.

One reason why people never pay
any attention to signs and adver-
tisements daubed on old fences,
stables and bridges is because they
do not know whether they are read
ing the advertisement of some firm
that is still in business or one that
has been dead for years. When
people :read advertisements in a
newspaper that is up to date, they
know the advertiser is alive and do
ing business.

Typhoid fever is epidemic in
many parts of West Virginia and an
unusually large number of deaths
are reported. In some neighbor-
hoods business is depressed and the
public schools are suffering because
of the prevalence of the disease.
The long drought is doubtless the
cause of it, the water being stagnant
and impure. Physicians recon-
mend that all water used for drink
ing purposes be boiled, and this rec
ommendation should be followed.
Typhoid fever is a dreadful disease
and should be guarded against with
the greatest care. A general copi-
Gus and continuous rain all over
West Virginia would be an inesti-
mable blessing.-State Journal.
