COMMUNICATED.

Mr.. -EDIToR-As the time is drawing
near when we will again be called upon
to castour votes in selecting our city
fathers for the ensuing year, desire 10
say a word through your columns upon
a very important question that see by
your paper will come up for our consld-
GRAFTON at this time, license or no IL
cense." Now, Mr.. Editor, there has
been very Indifferent feeling existing
among the temperance people tor the
past two years, not that they do not
want to see the saloons go, but merely
because they lack leader or some or
ganization. Therefore, on account OF
this state of affairs, we have had the
saloon. | will not attempt to discuss
the reason of the disorganization of the
temperance party, for it is too well
known to the public, and will let the
responsibility rest where it belongs.
But now TO the question. Our town
council has. without any solicitation
from us, generously agreed to allow us
to vote upon the question separately
and distinct from the candidates, there
by involving no other issue with the
temperance question. Now | think3it
is the duty of the temperance people to
come to the front and show to the pres
ent council that they appreciate their
actions and make determined effort to
close the saloons in our town, which
can be done if united effort is made.
I have a few suggestions to make: First,
let the temperance people have nothing
to do with making up the tickets for
council; stay away from any such meet
ings for that purpose. Second, see that
your head taxes and your neighbor's
are paid on or before March lst so many
persons neglect this important matter;
remind them of it and do not wait for
someone else to do it, but do it yourself
then you will know it is done; do not
wait until after dark on the eve Of time
of expiration, as there might be some
difficulty in doing So Again, let the
church and all church organizations
join in solemn prayer that success may
be ours, and may add the wives and
mothers who have husbands that i'm
bibe too much and who have sons that
are tampering with king rum. Moth
ers, remember you do not see all that
your boys do, but you may when it is too
late. Start in time to keep the tempta-
ton from them. Let everyone take an
interest in seeing that their neighbors
turn out and vote Remind your friends
who may be off on visit that their
head tax must be paid in due time and
urge them to be home in time to cast
their votes. Now, Mr. Editor, if these
suggestions are needed l believe the
temperance party can win. In conclu-
sion, let me repeat do not get up any
ticket vote for the best men, and work
for the question.
TEMPERANCE.

THE Wheeling Register of Monday
last contains lengthy editorial COM
mendatory Of the nomination of Sen
ator Camden by the Democrats Of the
Legislature for the empty compliment
oftheir votes for United States Senator.
The Register says it was "a well-de-
served compliment. For the life Of
us we cannot see how the Senator de-
served it. Surely his record in the
Senate does not show it. We reiterate
our opinion of last week, that the Dem
ocratic minority wasted great op-
portunity when it renominated Mr..
Camden. The duty Of the Democrats
in that caucus was two-fold: They
should first have earnestly condemned
the man who actively or passively pre-
vented tariff legislation in the Senate
so long that the party became demon
allied, and whose record on the sugar
business was so shady secondly, they
should have put up some good Demo
crat, thus virtually nominating a lead
er, around whom the party could rally
and under whose guidance the scatter
ed lines could be gathered up and united
for future victory. Our Democratic
legislators have wasted great oppor-
tunity.

Amputated His Own Foot,

Two years ago Robert Galbraith
aged IA, a farmer of Indiana county,
Pa, fell from a load of hay and injured
his left ankle and foot. The injury
has caused him great suffering ever
since, and the family physician has
long insisted that unless the foot was
amputated, the farmer could never
be any better. Galbraith stubbornly
refused to have the operation per-
formed. One morning last week the
farmers daughter went into his room.
Della, said he, 1.-THE job is done.
The foot is amputated.' One the bed by
his side lay his foot. On the other
side was razor. The old farmer
had amputated his own foot with his
razor and had done it neatly too, at
the ankle joint. Gaibraith is not
even suffering from shock from his
self-amputation operation, and the
doctor says he could not have taken
the foot off more neatly himself.

We believe that the relations of the
railroads to coal and coke producers
along their routes was first brought
prominently before the public in the
hearings before the ways and means
committee of Congress on the subject
of free coal. The coal operators are
obviously more dependent on the rail-
roads than even the farmers. 1t has
long been charged that the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad Company was max
ing most oppressive use Of its power
in this regard-forcing all the opera
tors along its line to sell to an agency
controlled by it. at prices far below
those ruling in the open market. Here
was one phase Of the railroad prob
lem" whose general features were we'll
known and which could be dealt with
directly and efectually. A bill has
accordingly been introduced in the
Legislature, whose object is to prohibit
railroad companies from dealing in
coal and coke, and to compel them to
furnish cars to shippers along their
lines without discrimination. The sig
niicant feature of this bill is that the
penalties for its violation are made so
severe-fnes of not less than $4,000
and the guilt of felony on the part of
offending oficials-that it is said it
cannot possibly pass Are these pen
alties the result of an irresistible over
flow of righteous indignation on the
part of the oppressed? Or did the
oppressors have them put in so as to
lessen the temptation to break-or
pass-the law?

In the Legislature.
TEMPERANCE.

AT a caucus of Republican members
of the House on Monday it was deter
mined to give the bill rearranging the
judicial circuits the right of way against
all others.
The judiciary committee of the House
decided to make favorable report on
the bill providing for the execution of
the death sentence by electricity at the
penitentiary. The bill, which is being
pushed forward by the sheriffs of the
State, will meet strong opposition
when it comes up for consideration.
The joint resolution, proposing an
amendment to the constitution allowing
women to vote, was knocked out by a
decisive majority.
The judiciary committee has intro
duced bill providing for more stringent
examinations of lawyers before being
admitted to the bar.
Mr.. Martin has introduced bill re-
quiring tax of 800 on building and
loan associations of other States doing
business in West Virginia.

THE adverse criticisms passed upon
Mr.. Dandridge's absence from the
Democratic Senatorial caucus have
been so numerous and so widespread
that it seems to be our duty to friend
and townsman, as well as representa-
tive in the Legislature, to give equal
publicity to the facts of the case.
Pending the Prince election contest,
of which Mr.. cambridge had virtual
charge, he received a telegram from
his agent in New York which demand
ed his immediate presence to look af-
ter property interests there. The Dem
ocratic caucus had been appointed for
Friday; and after explaining the stu
alton to Mcdonald, Finley and other
friends of Mr.. Wilson, who assured
him that they would resist holding
the caucus at any earlier date, he left
for New York on Monday. When
his business there had been closed up,
he came at once to Shepherdstown to
see his wife, who had been sick and
unable to leave her room for several
days. He left on Thursday night for
Charleston, for the express purpose Of
attending this caucus. in ample time
to do so had it been held as at first
contemplated, and without any init
nation from any quarter that the date
had been changed.
Mr.. Dandridge's associates at Charles
ton had no doubts whatever as to his
sentiments on the Senatorial question.
He was known as hearty supporter
Of VIM. L. Wilson, and it was more
over intended that he should place
Mr.. Wilson in nomination.

4 PRESIDENTIAL MESSAGE.

President Cleveland sent a message
to Congress on Monday in which he
plainly sets forth the present danger
Gus condition of our monetary affairs.
A single sentence gives the keynote
to the Presidents message: with
natural resources unlimited in variety
and productive strength, and with a
people whose activity and enterprise
seek only a fair opportunity to achieve
national success and greatness, our pro-
gress should not be checked by false
financial policy and needless disre-
gard of sound monetary laws; nor
should the timidity and fear which
they engendered stand in the way of
our prosperity" He shows that ex-
listing conditions are fraught with dan
ger arising-not from an insufficlency
of revenue-but from doubt of the
ability of the Government to keep its
currency at its face value, and to dis
charge its obligations in money as good
as that in which they were incurred.
The remedy is to be found in legisla-
ton which will enable the Treasury,
first, to get gold on the most favorable
terms, and second to keep it for its
legitimate purpose as reserve, with
out being subject to the drains Of spec
ulators as at present. The first object
is to be accomplished, he suggests, by
authorizing the issue of low rate
bonds, to run for fifty years; the Sec
ond by cancelling and retiring the
greenbacks and treasury notes which
are making the mischief.
He Justly declares that the situation
is one of distress to the whole nation,
and its prolongation for the sake Of
supposed partisan advantage must re-
coil on the party or faction responsible
for it. And he shows that speedy
action, of the general character sug-
gested, is a matter of patriotic duty, in
the face of which all partisan consider
atoms should vanish.
The failure to find remedy hither-
to has been due to Democratic dissen-
sions rather than to Republican op-
position. For the last time and in the
most forcible way, the imperative needs
of the nation have been brought before
the Democrats in Congress. If these
needs are not supplied, and the failureis
chargeable to them, they cannot hope
to avoid the swift and lastingTetribu-
ton that is fifty visited upon faithless
and incompetent servants.

WHILE the Democrats are charged
with being incompetent to supply any
remedy for the ills that harass the
country, the Republicans seem unable
even to see them. Their Senators are
now in transports of frenzied indigna-
ton over petty riot in half-civil-
lied island in the middle of the Pacific
Ocean. But they seem utterly blind
to the great strike which is in progress
in Brooklyn; which not only involves
vast inconvenience to the public, loss
of property and even Of life, but en-
phasizes anew those strained relations
between labor and capital, which pre-
sent for our solution problems far
graver than those of the currency, the
tariff and Hawaii all combined.

In response to united call from the
Democrats and reform Republicans of
Philadelphia, Ex-Governor Pattison has
consented to become candidate for
mayor of that city. Philadelphia has
been so shamefully plundered and so
recklessly and extravagantly managed
by the Republican ring that has been
running its municipal affairs that the
people have at last revolted. Last year
it took $l2,OOO,O0O to run the State
of Pennsylvania. In the same time
Philadelphia cost the people $33, OOO,-
600. Ofcourse, the city is overwhelm-
ingly Republican, but it must be re-
membered that Pattison has twice
been elected Governor Of Pennsylvania
and that he is just the man Philadel-
phia needs now. If he shall be elected
mayor this year he will be mighty
good material for the Democratic
presidential convention to consider
next year.

THIS is the age of new remedies for
all manner of diseases. The virtues Of
incubation are fast overcoming the
terrors of hydrophobia, consumption,
diphtheria and various other ills that
flesh is heir to. The operation Of many
of the new remedies is wonderful and
inexphcable; but the most marvellous
case yet brought to our notice is that
of Texas fever in cattle. There is good
ground for believing that, however
difficult this malady may be to deal
with in America, when it occurs in
American cattle in Germany the re-
peal of the discriminating duty on
sugar will effect complete and per-
manent cure.

The House on Tuesday passed the
bill repeating the discriminating duty
of one-tenth of cent pound on sugar
imported from bounty-paying coun-
tries. This is heavy blow at the
Sugar Trust, and if the bill were to
pass the Senate would be a sickener to
that monstrous monopoly. We do not
think, though, that the bill will pass,
for there are too many Senators who
stand in with the trust. This has been
conclusively shown before.
