EIkins the Coming Man.
From the Charleston Mail.

From the Charleston Mail.
The Republican leaders of West
Virginia who have SO earnestly and
persistently labored to prevent the
instruction of delegates to the Nation
al convention at ST. Louis, are begin
ming to feel that their course is the
only right and proper one, and that
the occasion may arise whereby West
Virginia may be asked by the Repub-
lican party to furnish the Republican
candidate. Here is an extract from a
letter written by w. M. Amsden, Of
Marion county, Indiana, which will
serve as straw to show which way
the drift is running:
II begin to have the impression
that the mckinley movement is
going to be successful. The people
here want Mckinley, but if he is de-
feated, they want to see either Harri-
son or Elkins nominated. l believe
Harrison and his friends here would
prefer Elkins to anyone who is now
in the race except Mckinley; and in
reality l believe that Elkins would
carry larger vote throughout the
country than any other man who is
now before the public. He has rapid
ly grown into national esteem, and l
presume that we consider him here
as much ours as you do. He has
demonstrated unusual wisdom in the
direction of pubic affairs. He IS
broad in his views, conservative and
safe, yet fearless in the execution of
any movement on the side of right
and justice. Look out for Elkins. "

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

Some of the persons who removed
their stoves and undergarments dur
ing the extreme warm wave are re-
placing them again. Comfort first;
pride and fashion are the forerunners
of pain and misery.
We had the pleasure of visit to
the country recently. In our peranl-
bulations from field to forest, such
beauties as we beheld can scarcely be
portrayed by nlan--beauties, lovliness,
fragrance, vendure. The gentle hum
ming of the bees as they visit flower
after flower, the warbling of the birds
in their songs of praise, cause one to
forget the noises of locomotives, trains
of cars, sounds of blasting, and the
carpenters hammer, the vast mum bers
of people you see going to and from
their daily avocations of labor, the
rustling OF machinery in the nu-
merous factories, and the noise incl
dent in busy, bustling, prosperous
city like Martinsburg. We were as
tonished at the silence around US, and
were forced to exclaim. Oh, what a
paradise the country is, and what
pleasure and enjoyment it can sup
ply
Now that the nominations are all
made and both parties have put for
ward their best men in the municipal
contest. let us have fair and honor
able fight, without introducing those
who are unnaturalized or Cinnamon,
non-residents or minors. Not so
much politics, not so much wire pull
ling in future, but a good city gov
eminent with Mayor and Council
men of more than ordinary intelli-
gence to encourage, if possible,
more rapid growth of population,
thrift, enterprise and business inter
ests. The laboring man can subsist
much better upon that, than in fight
ing political battles, which usually
end in smoke and vapor
In attempting to repair the stone
foundation of the residence of Mr. D.
H. Russler on Liberty street, this
city, the masons undermined the
chimney, which gave way in moment
and fell down through the building,
crushing everything it came in con-
tact with. Mr.. Russler's youngest
child, an infant, was lying in crib in
close proximity to the falling chimney
and was surrounded with brick
and mortar, but fortunately it escaped
injury. which was almost miracle.
The building is damaged to such an
extent that Mr.. Russler has conclud-
ed to remove it entirely and build a
new and substantial residence in
preference to repairing the old one.
With sorrow we announce the death
of Mr.. D. A. Davis, lifelong citizen
of Martinsburg. He was very quiet.
peaceable, and honorable man, COM
handing the respect of all who knew
him. He had arrived to near so
years of age, and was inferred in Nor
bourne cemetery, on last Monday
evening, under the auspices of the Or
der OF Railway Conductors, of which
he was faithful member. May the
clods rest lightly upon his bosom.
Itisfrequently said the opportunities
for success in business pursuits are
not as good now as in days past
Why not. Are pluck and energy less
requisite now' Industry, studious-
ness, economy. old-fashioned virtues
are as essential to success at the
present time, as they ever were. New
conditions do not change the require
ments. RALF.

promotion within six months. The
explanation is that Gen. Schofeld is
one of Mr.. Cleveland's chums.
The disgraceful light with ink bot
ties, sponge cups, and other stray bits
of Government stationery which Rep
resentatives Hall, of Missouri, and
Money, of Mississippi, got into. in a
House committee room the other day,
indicates the present status of the
Silver and anti-Siiver Democrats.
Money is a silver Democrat. and Hall
was originally elected as such, but
he was converted by Mr.. Cleveland
at the extra session of the ffty-third
Congress which repealed the purchas-
ing clause of the so-called Sherman
silver law, and is now anti-silver.
They are all ready to fly at each others
Threats and nobody will be surprised
if the Chicago convention should end

used.

The Forum announces that future
numbers will contain a number OF
noteworthy and helpful articles. con-
tributed by leading members of the
great political parties, bearing upon
the presidential campaign and the is
sues involved. The first of these pa
pers appears in the May forum, and
is contributed by Mr.. E. L. Godkin,
editor of the New York Nation and
Evening Post. It is keen and brill
liant analysis of the political situation,
from the standpoint of an ardent adj,
mirer of President Cleveland. 1t is
needless to add that the Herald does
not agree with Mr.. Godkin.

GODS MIRACLE OF MAY.

There came message to the vine,
A whisper to the tree,
The blue-bird saw the secret sign
And merrily sang hel
And like silver string the brook
Trembled with music sweet
Enchanting notes in every nook
For echo to repeat.
A magic touch transformed the
field,
Greener each hour they grew,
Until they shone like FURNISHED
shields
All jeweled DER with dew,
Scattered upon the forest floor
A million bits OF bloom
Breathed fragrance forth thro' morn
ing's door
Into the days bright room.
Then bud by bud the vine confessed
The secret it had heard,
And in the leaves the azure-breast
Sang the delightful word:
Glad flowers upsprang amid the
grass
And flung their banners gay,
And suddenly it came to pass
Gods miracle of May!-

The Seasons Musical Event.

Sousa and his celebrated band, will
appear at Martinsburg soon.
I Since David Blakely prevailed up
on Mr.. Sousa to resign his position
in Washington, where he served the
government as leader of the Marine
Band, fortune and increased fame
have come to the distinguished lead
er. His success and popularity are
certainly as much due to his musical
compositions as to his other abilities.
The whole country has been hum
ming, drumming and drumming the
Washington Post, z Liberty Bell, "
High School Cadets and ''Manhat-
tan Beach" marches for the last year.
The royalties which Sousa gets from
these places amounts to an enormous
sum yearly-over $4,000, it is stat
ed. Besides this rather respectable
income there is fat salary for his ser
vices as leader and no small share OF
the profits of the concerts. All this
has come within three years. So
much for getting in touch with the
great public.
Sousa undobteduly knows what the
average audience wants in music. and
the programmes are got up with ex-
traordiuary tact Selections viii COM
