Rather Presumptuous, SO to Speak.

Mr.. c. p. Rothwell, of the Can
ming Factory, who has not been res
ident of this city but few weeks,
mas undertaken to instruct the be-
nighted voters of this county, as to
the men for whom they should vote.
Now, we havn't the slightest objec-
ton to Mr. Rothwell voting for Nc
Kinley in Ohio, but we are just old
fogy enough to think that he is rath-
er presumptuous in his attempt to
control the voters of this section.

come acclamated. Berkeley Demo

edict. Let silence reign! Republi-
cans who dare open their mouths

ruffle the serenity of his imaginary
consequentiality and cause him to
tramp on his lip every step he takes.
Mr.. Rothwell, you have spent your
money here, but you must not dare
attempt to remove the slime and filth
from the Popocratic frog pond. You
can construct the largest and most
complete cannery in the country-the
pride Of the town and the hope Of
bread winners-but you must moi
NEEDLE with politics, as that worries
our bombastic Bourbon editor. YOU
can vote for Mckinley in Ohio, but
you must not attempt to enlighter
the voters of this section. Leave thai
to Sonny" and Bryan. Do not in

Popocratic papers think it great
argument to point out that VIM. Nc
Kinley has been a friend to silver.
Not only VIM. Mckinley but the par
ty which he represents has been and
is friendly to silver In his letter OF
acceptance Mckinley says THE
Republican party has not been and is
not now, opposed to the use of silver
as money, as its record abundartly
shows. 1t has done all that could be
done for its increased use, with safety
and honor by the United States acting
apart from other governments.
We have more silver today than gold

the country any of the silver we nov
have (S625, 900, ooo.) Onthe contrary

OF the government that all of it shall
be equal to gold. "-Moundsvillt

BRYAN AS A DEMAuoduE.

Beginning his speech at Kansa
City, candidate Bryan said:
"Some of our opponents tell u
that the thing to do is to open tn
mills instead Of the minis. That re
minds me OF the man who said tina
his horse would go all right if b
could just get the wagon started.
is putting the cart before the horse
What use is there for mills until PEG
pie can buy what mills produce, an,
how can you start them as long al
those who produce the wealth of THU
country, particularly the farmer, ar,
not able to get enough out of what
they raise to pay their taxes and in
terest?"
Such demagogy from a man who
aspires to be President of the United
States T. reminds us Of remark he
made to companion while strolline
along the docks of New York a few
days ago. After gazing upon the
mighty buildings reaching almost tc
the sky and looking upon the great
iron piers extending out into the riv-
er, he said: Land must be quite
valuable here.
Every school boy knows that when
mills and mines and factories are in
operation, furnishing employment to
the people, that money circulates and
that those receiving it can buy the
produce of the farms enabling farmers
to pay their taxes and interest.
Every citizen of Martinsburg
knows that the manufacturing estab-
lishments of the town kept the wolf
from the doors of hundreds of homes
during the past year because they put
money in circulation.
Everybody knows that all the
minis in the world might run from
June to eternity, but If the people had
no way to get the money coined, they
would not be benefited to the
amount of one cent.
Everybody also knows that the
closeness of money is due to the fact
that our industries are idle and we are
sending all our money abroad to pur-
chase goods that should be manufac-
tured here.
Mr.. Bryan knows that the trouble
IS not with the money of the country.
He knows that it is the loss of the
home market, not discrimination
against silver, which enables him to
wall about the poverty of the people.
He knows he is playing the dema-
gogue when he attempts to ridicule
the remark of Maj. Mckinley
DO NOT KNOW WHATYOUTHINK
ABOUT IT, BUT | BELIEVE IT is
A GOOD DEAL BETTER TO OPEN
THE MILLS OF THE UNITED
STATES TO THE LABOR OF
AMERICA THAN TO OPEN THE
MINIS OF THE UNITED ST ATES

No Use for One Flag.

relative to the status of Americans

There are "a great many carriages
used in the City of Mexico" but not
exactly the same as in LincOla or
Denver. Buggies and phaetons are
no. used sufficiently to merit mention,
coupes, landaus ard the highest and
most expensive grades being most in
vogue. Those are not seen, except
occasionally, until about four O'Clock
each afternoon, at which time the peo-
pie of wealth and leisure take their
daily drive on the PaseO. From that
time until seven or eight O'Clock, the
drive way is througed with elegant
equipa ges, drawn by horses which are
dreams of equine grace and beauty.
The occupants are dressed in the
height of fashion. the dark and stately
Mexican ladies viewing the n-gazing
people. Aside from these carriages,
and the hacks, vehicles are very little
used in Mexico City, the labor of tran
sportation being performed bv porters.
There are both carriage shops and
factories. The wages paid to a
carriage painter, Ornamenter and let
1erer are about 50 per day. The work
is done by Mexicans, and, in their
way they are first class. American
workman are seldom employed, for
the reason that they cannot or will rot
work for the small wages paid the
natives.

Deaths Valley.

| Colonel Brooks, who recently took a
| trip across Death valley, thus speaks
to a Yuma Sentinel reporter of that
wonder of nature:
! ut is truly regretful that this phe-
| nCmenal country cannot be seen by
the thousands of people who read of its
lndescrl bab ole wonders. When the de-
scriptive powers of our most able
| writer's have been exhausted in an
| effort to convey to the public a correct
impression OF precipitous depths, gran
d~ur of its confines, com blnatiOns of all
known minerals and added to this the
sOlemnity of awe, of future, of death
! to many travellers, the readers most
grasping imaginatiOn is still vague,
and far short of the reality as is
the posi- bility of an OK drinking the
waters of the San Francisco bay.
IAN indefinite idea Of the exceeding
grandeur Of the salt precipIce-miles
in length-that is situated at the head
Of Death valley, a. the sun shines
upon it each day of the 800 Of the
year, may be obtained by directing
ones thoughts or imagination to the
sublimity of Niagara Falls, when its
Dimensions have been multiplied by
one hundred, and the water is convert
ed into transparent icicles with the
rejecting brilliancy of ten Thousand
chandeliers. and then by some unnat-
ural eXpanse of the Imagination an
appreciative sense of the stubborn
facts is had. OF the deep brown or oxide
of iron color. the cryStalliZing salt
extending over miles in the lowest
depth of Death valley.
There is nothing that has name
or shape, more abrupt, uneven, or
topsey -turvey, than is this mass Of salt
as spewed from the unknown depths Of
the earth. The projecting points. one
above another. are generally OblonP, |
and Of ali dimensions from one inch TO |
five feet, and as the inner pressure of !
the unknown forces have thrust and |
gro .yded the millions Of varied forms |
and sizes Of fragments prOmiscuOusly |
to the surface, it presents distressing |
C infusion. The salt is Of the ordinary |
hardness of stone"
