personally, he has no vices or bad
habits. He was great church
worker when | knew him, and
would visit the jails and tho pris-
ons explaining to those incarcera-
ted the beauties of the bible, and
try to reform them. He would
employ all his eloquenco in this
work too. 1t is safe to say he is n
pure and upright man and a con

BLOWS His Own Horn.

Mr.. Poffenbarger in his Gazette,
of Tuesday, blows his own horn
pretty loudly, and one would be
led to believe from reading his re-
port of the picnic debate on the
"Money Question, in the Upper
Flats, that he had routed both
Menager and Hogg, and had con
verted Republicans, Democrats,
and Populists to the gold standard
idea. No doubt he imagines he
did do SO, for of self-conceit he has
an abundance. But from those
who were present we hear a very
different story. That Poffenbarger
was vanquished in the debate
there is no doubt.

An Oid Enginecr Dead.

Robert Isaac Morris, the veteran
engineer, who took the first engine
to Wheeling upon the completion
of the Baltimore & o. extension
from Cumberland to that point,
died in that city, on the 14th inst,
aged nearly 10 years. He was en-
gineer on the train that jumped off
the Cheat River bridge 43 years
ago, when many passengers were
killed. He escaped with n broken
leg by jumping over n 25 foot en-
bankment. We remember him,
and also the appalling accident by
which upwards of seventy people
were killed, and as many injured.
We were on the train at the time,
and only escaped by our coach go
ing into the mountain side, instead
of over the precipice.

Tho Great Historinn.

I
| historian, has been n Republican.
He is now with the Democrats on
the currency question. In response
to letter from prominent Indi-
ana Democrat, Mr.. Ridpath elo-
quently enunciated his views, as
follows:
"There is Just one great quest
ion before the American people,
and that is whether they will be
compelled by the international
gold conspiracy, having its bifurca-
tions in London and New York, to
transact their business. and in par
tioular to pay their debts with a
Icornered dollar worth two for one,
Ifraudulently substituted for the
dollar of the law aud the contract,
or whether they (the people) will
reclaim their rights to transact
their business and pay ttieirdebts
according to the terms of the con-
tract and according to justice.
ut is said by the emissaries of
the gold propaganda that they who
advocate the restoration of our
coinage and money to the exact
condition which it held prior to
the net of 1873 are dishonest; that
they wish to coin so cents worth
of silver into n dollar and COMPEL
creditors to accept that in lieu of
of an honest dollar. Than this,
there never was greater sophism
and falsehood. What the epeople
desire, and what they intend todo,
is to coin hundred cents worth
of silver, that is, n dollars worth
that is 371 Ia grains of silver, in
to dollar, and by that act to break
the corner on gold and reduce the
exaggerated purchasing power of
that metal to it's normal standard.
eff any man dare say that 371 Id
grains of pure silver are not dol
lars worth let him he challenged
with the question whether that
amount of uncoined silver will not
purchase as much of the average of
% of the greut staples of the Amer
lean market, including real estate
and labor, as the same silver would
purchase % years ago. Let him
answer that truly, or forever after
ward hold his peace. AS II matter
of fact the mcoined silver in the
American dollar will buy moro of
the average of our great staples
than the same would buy in 1875.
"Whnt then?" The limited sup
ply of gold in the world has been
cornered by those who own it.
They are fcw-very few and the
people are millions. The price of
the cornered gold has advanced
more and more, until thas become
worth almost two for one. All the
while coined gold has concealed
the fallucy that is in it. The gold
eagle still proclnims itself $40, al
though it has advanced in purchas-
ing power until it is nearly $50.
Under this. obscure and fraudulent
process all productive industries
have been crushed to- u. rerth.
They who labor in the fields and
shops have been virtually ruined.
"The claim that gold coin is the
sound money of the world, and
that silver the honest money real,
primary silver money, on our old
statutory ratio is dishonest and
,unsound money, is the most false
as, it is tile 1s1asJ adroit, proposi-
ton ever put forth rY interested
parties to defraud the peoale of

Reports from the east say that n
great many supposed democrats
are going to bolt the ticket. a
close reading of their names show
that the pretended boltors are con-
fined TO two classes. Those close
ly identified with the banking in
terests and those who arc recogniz-

1t is also noticeable that they seek
to ostracise ina business way every
one who is not of their way of
thinking and who will not accept
their utterances as pure doctrine.
1t is an unfortunate condition of

in the construction of buildings
and for other uses. Things have
changed now, and there will be no
more of it. The new buildings

No more foreign brick will be sold

the Register had been taken ii
would never have been SO. We

the town will consume. This com

this town and section needs, but
has hundred of thousands for ship
