Intention of the Voter.

The recent decision of Judge Faulk-
ner in the Proctor Martin case was
based largely upon decisions defining
the intention of the voter" With
out calling into question the decision
by the judge, a report of which is
given in our local columns, it occurs
to US that the theory carried out to its
logical conclusions must lead to ain
absurdity. For example: A gentle
man i'll this city at a recent election
tore his ballot in two and voted the
Republican portion. There could be
no question as to his intention, but
because he failed to comply with the
law he lost his vote and properly, too.
In the case in controversy the voter
whether ignorantly or in sheer wan
tonnes disregarded the plain intent
of the law and failed or refused to be
governed by it just as much as the
individual who tore his ballot in two
pieces and voted but half of it.
Another reason why the decision is
subject to criticism is that when the
present ballot law was adopted, pro-
vision was made for marking the bal
lots with pen and ink only. Later
the'law was changed by adding the
indellible pencil, clearly indicating
that the Legislature did not intend to
allow the common lead pencil to be
used.

The animosity manifested by the
editor of the Statesman toward Prof.
Carman is simply infamous. What
the motive can be is as yet unknown.
Mr.. Carman never threw a straw in
the way Of Mr.. Boyer and why he
should be so bounded is beyond COM
prehension.
While the Herald has defended Mr..
Carman from these assaults, it has
done so simply as an act OF justice
to as worthy a man as ever walked
the streets of Martinsburg. We do
not care fig for the charges against
us, but do not like to allow such un-
merited vilifcation as that heaped
upon Mr.. Carman to go 10 the world
unrebuked. 1t is all uncalled for and
if the citizens of Martinsburg are not
lost to sence of decency and honor
they, too. will find SOME means of ex-
pressing their disapproval

Nothing Succeeds Like Success.

Nothing Succeeds Like Success.
There is no truer saying than the
above, but to name the causes of all
success is impossible. Many fail at
the same occupation another will take
up and succeed. Who can explain ?
A case in point is the very great
success and increasing sale of Light
ming Hot Drops. Is it the manage
ment of the business, the advertising
of Lightning Hot Drops or the great
merit of Lightning Hot Drops that
makes it the only household and all
around remedy in the thousands of
American homes?
1t is an acknowledged fact Light
ming Hot Drops is the best remedy
known for all the summer ills due to
bad and change of water and diet and
diarrhoea. 1t is necessity in the
travellers grip and trunk Not only
does it act as above stated, but it cures
all kinds of pains, flesh wounds. bruis-
es, bites Of insects, scratches, ETC., and
it is SO very pleasant to take. and has
such delicate odor that one does not
realize that he is taking a medicine.
If YOU never used Lightning Hot
Drops ask YOUR druggist about its
merits anG the many friends it has.
To use it is to praise.
Now, what in your opinion is the
cause of the success and large sale of
Lightning Hot Drops?

pointed assistant surgeon of the British
warship Rattlesnake, and was on duty
during the surveying cruise in the South
Pacific and Torres straits. In 1859 he re-
turned to England, and became In 1855 the
successor of Mr. Edward Forbes at the
school of mines. In February, 1874, he
was installed as rector of the University
of Aberdeen.
His name came prominently before the
general public In connection with the
London school board, to which he was
elected in 1870. In that body he took n
very active part, rendered himself espe-
cially conspicuous by his opposition to de-
nominational teaching, and by fierce de
nunciatlon of the Roman Catholic church.
In January, 1872, he finally retired from
the London school board. About 1870,
also, he created decided sensation by the
publication of paper on 'Protoplasm, "

Long range predictions are not al
ways safe to make, but Just now in
dications are that the Democratic
National Convention, to be held a
year hence, will declare for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at 10
to 1. The reason is not hard to per-
ceive. This year, as last, the Demo
cratic party will be beaten. The de-
feat will be credited to the domination
of the gold bugs and when next year
comes the party of expediency" will
be unanimous for silver at any price.
A practical union of the Populists and
silver Democrats will be effected and
there will be a campaign, the like OF
which has not been heard of for years.
We do not positively aver that such a
contingency will arise, but that is the
way the political horoscope now APP
pears to the Herald.

Had Francis Scott Key been in
Martinsburg on the Fourth and had
he looked for the "Star Spangled
Banner" on the staff of the new gov
eminent building, he would not have
felt that thrill of JOY which pervaded
his being where in the "dawn's early
light" he discovered its ''full glory
reflected, for he might have looked
in vain through the bright sunlight
of the whole day and not have seen
one single star. The flag was not
there.
