DISGRAOEFUL.

One or two fights occurred on the
public streets soon after pay day.
Quite a crowd witnessed one battle
until both contestants were exhaust
ed. This is disgracelul and stigma
both upon the people and upon the
governing power. If fire breaks
out, very soon The alarm is given,
and every good, intelligent citizen
should just as quickly give the
alarm OF row. Some Of these
men have been punished by q fine,
but public opinion in these matters
will endorse something additional.

SILVER.

The silver question is coming up
in all directions, and is likely to be
the principal topic in the next Ma.
tional election. The indications are
that it will naturally affect the voters
of all parties, and cause great
changes in individual voters. The
best and surest money is what the
people want, and bi.metalism, under
proper management, will probably
be the outcome. The Wheeling
Register evidently is going back on
the large silver element in the Dem
ocratic party of West Virginia, as
shown by the following quotations
from last Thursdays issue:
"The ultra silver gentlemen may
as well understand that they can't
pre-empt the Democratic party in
West Virginia"
"Sweet sixteen -to-one shouldn t
try to come the golden-hair-hanging-
down-her-back act on the Democrat
ic party"
