The editors of the State whose good Tor
tune it was to attend the annual meet OF the
association this year at Clarksburg, can
hardly find words to express their gralihca-
ton at the unstinted hospitality accorded
them. The Traders Company threw open
the doors of its palatial hotel to the visiting
editors and the public generally, and enter
tanned one hundred and fifty guests entirely
free during the association meeting there
Every convenience was supplied and every
wish gratified. Beautifully furnished rooms
equipped with everything necessary to COM
fort and enjoyment, table supplied with
luxuries never before equalled inClarksburg,
aud the watchful care of Mr.. Barbour, who
spared no pains to make his guests feel at
home, all contributed to make the stay OF
the editorial brethren an unmixed pleasure,
and to tinge the parting hour with genuine
regret. The editors of West Virginia will
long remember Clarksburg.

In the Baltimore Suns news summary
this morning and also in a black head line,
we find the following sentence:
"Mr Hurst made a campaign speech in
Rockville in which he said in reply to press
comments that he was able to command and
had nothing to apologize for"
What Mr. Hurst did say, as we find re-
ported elsewhere in the same issue of the
Sun, is this:
"Now, gentlemen, take this opportunity
to say in the plainest and most unequvocal
language | am able to command that have
nothing to apologize for"
See the difference?

A study of the military records of Europe
proves that in 1910 the average height of
man was feet inches. During the fol-
lowing 100 years this average decreased to
6 feet II inches, In 1870 the average was
only feet inches, and in 1920 it was but
5 feet inches. At the present time it is
but feet 81 inches. 1t is an easy matter
to deduce statistics from the above figures
to prove that human stature is gradually on
the decline Figuring upward, using the
same ratio, we find that Adams sons and
neighbors averaged 16 feet 9 inches in
height, and at the opening of the Christian
era the average height was fraction over
feet. Looking into the dim future, we can
see time, only 1000 years hence, when
human stature will be reduced to an aver
age of only Is inches. Think of it in that
day men will be as short as we feel when we
interview our pocket-book or woodward.

The free silver movement within the
Democratic party is being prepared for bur-
ial at Memphis, where it had its inception.
As result of the action of the conference
held in that city, group Of seven is now
assembled in Memphis ostensibly to COM
plete the proposed organization in all the
States by the appointment Of Democratic
silverites in the respective States to carry on
the movement. The insignifcance of this
meeting aud the absurdity of its pretense to
organize in the States is made apparent by
the fact that only four States are represent
ed. The remaining 40 States, which 60 to
make up the Union, utterly ignore the pro-
pOsal to enlist them in the silver cause
The small group now in Memphis may inn
itate the tailors of Tooley street and pro-
claim in the name of Eve, the people, the
appointment of certain Democrats in the
States which refused to send representatives
to the meeting to push forward the silver
cause. OF course, these Democrats thus
designated to perform duty uncongenial to
them personally, and unauthorized by theiT
party, will ignore the matter and thus will
die the free coinage movement within the
Democratic party Washington telegram ID

Several Baltimore preachers were pleased
last Sunday to take hand in politics and
made observations with purpose to bolster
up the "bolters." 1t is noticeable, too,
that these political preachers, pigmy Park
bursts, some of them, are the very ones
who mostly indulge in sensational topics
aud get mention of their discourses in the
papers. Ia opposing the Democratic ticket,
and especially for denouucing Senator Cor
man, they felt assured of extra space in two
of the big dailies, aud they were not disap-
pointed Perhaps they thought it in the
line of their duty to help the so called God
and Morality" party-the Republicans, to
the control of Maryland, my Maryland"
The idea uf reforming the Democratic party
by putting the Republicans in power is
simply idiotic--at least it seems so TO one
who lived in the days of test Oaths, when
thirty men, only, Of six hundred in this
township were allowed to vote,

Chnnne From Free Silver.

Senator Mills, of Texas, who was an adj
vocate of free silver coinage, has seen bis
mistake and is out in letter explaining his
change. He abandons his position on the
ground that most men wEo have carefully
studied both sides Of the subject do, and that
is that while free silver is right in itself, 1t
is impossible for the United States to main
tain it without the help of other nations
It is to be remarked that the majority OF
advocates of what is called sound money
have been at first favorable to free silver
and have only altered their position after
seeing the mpossibility of our carrying 1t
without aid. The fact that as soon as the
free coinage of both metals in begun in this
country, the gold now in use will disappear,
leaving US in the midst of greater and
more enduring panic than that from which
the country is just emerging, ought to cause
every man to pause. As Texas is set down,
for the present at least, as a silver State, and
as Mr.. Mills political future lies there, we
hardly think his motives will be denounced
by the free silver men after their usual We
hement style.-Stauaton Vindicat0r.

clearly that no silver bill of any inhationist
character can be passed in the next two
years. According to replies made by Rep

there will be IS votes in the House for free
coinage, 50 doubtful and 2l6 against free

There was demand on the sub-treasury
Wednesday for $1,000, which took as much
labor to satisfy it as withdrawal Of 81 ,OOO.-
600 of gold for shipment by one of the large

by powerful horses, pulled up at the rear OF
the ub-treasury in the afternoon, being sent
by r. II. Macy & Co. to get s., 900 in pen
uies. The sub.treasury officials could hard
ly believe their eyes when they saw the or
der. The lightning calculator among them
calculated that the firm wanted just 60
miles worth, or enough to reach from Four
tenth street to the Harlem river, if the pen
MES were laid side by side in straight line.

five pound bags each containing five thou
sand cents, out to the truck until one hun
bred of the bags were piled on, making about
