announced Tor a whole week
SECRETARY CARLISLE will return to
Kentucky next month and try to re-
convert the free silver heather.
Iris the general opinion that the
victory of Quay in Pennsylvania Is
black eve fol- ex-President Harrison.
WE think it would be good thing
for the silver people to compromise by
making the ratio about 81 to l before
it is too late.
THERE was one thing noticeable
about the Quay delegates in Pennsyl-
vania last week. Those that were
bought stayed bought.
>-->---~-y~>~-~>--~~~~~~,
WE think the people Of West Nr-
ginia would have more confidence in
the free silver movement if they didn't
know its leaders so well.
THOSE infant industries that were to
have been ruined by the Wilson tariff
bill have been growing as fast as when
they fed on government pap.
>--~-->-~>~---~-~-~-~~-->
THE flow of gold from this country
to Europe continues steady. But some
how there seems to be no demand for
our silver, at home or abroad.
THE Cuban rebelsare making steady
progress in their fight for freedom,
and it looks as if Spain will lose the
island. Good luck to the revolution
lists
THE next meeting Of the West Vir-
ginia Editorial Association at Clarks-
burg September 18th and 18th will be
a splendid one. There ought to be a
large turn out.

THE Maryland Democrats who are
trying to strike Senator German
through Candidate Hurst will not hurt
the willy boss very much, even if they
knock Mr.. Hurst down.
THE abuse that is being showered
upon Senator German seems to have
little effect upon that thick-skinned
statesman. He realizes the value Of
Br'er Fox's policy Of layin low.
NUMEROUS prominent statesmen are
now engaged in carrying Maryland
for the Republicans, but we think that
Senator Germans candidates Will be
able to show up the most votes when
the time comes.
The unspeakable Turk continues
his oppression of the Christians in Ar
menia. The forebearance of the Chris
tan nations of the earth has ceased to
be a virtue. Let them speak sharply
to the unspeakable Turk.
WHAT'S the matter with running
those two eminent and successful
statesmen, Quay and German, against
each other for the presidency next
year? There would be the certain
satisfaction of beating one of them.
IT is as singular as it is unselfsh,
that the farmer who is laboring to make
the government pay the sllver-mine
owners a dollar for fifty cents worth
ofsilver is apparently satisfied to take
sixty cents for a dollars worth of
wheat
OUR esteemed contemporary, the
Lj1;cobo Citizen, appears to be one of
those papers that believes no one can
differ from it and at the same time be
Independent and honest. Therefore
we will not waste time arguing with
the Lincoln Citizen.
IN his fight in Pennsylvania last
week against the men in his own par
ty who were trying to dispossess him
Senator Quay, boss and dictator that
he is, really had the sympathy of the
people. The combination against him
was even worse than Quay himself.
EX-SENATOR CAMDEN says: eff
Mr.. Cleveland should by any chance
be nominated again, he would not be
elected, for the people of the country
will not vote for third term candi-
date" Mr.. Cleveland Will not be
nominated for third term. VIM. c.
Whitney is the coming man.

THERE doesn't seem to be anything
in the civil-service laws to prevent
the removal of those Democratic Off
Gals who go too far in criticising Pres
ident Cleveland and the administra-
ton, but somehow thousands of often
sive Republican partisans manage to
hold on to fat Offices right straight
along.
