The principal reason why Major Nc
Kinley does not initiate Mr.. Bryan's
example and invade the 'enemy's
country is that in all the broad expanse
of the United States there is no section
that is hostile to him."
Major MckInley's patriotism is not

The aoId Man. ofthe keystone Miner

The "Old Man" ofthe Keystone Miner
very pertinently and truthfully describes
the present political situation in his
issue of last week. He says; "The
time has come when all the dissatisfied
elements of society in the United States
are banded together, each class with an
object Of its own, and are making an
effort to secure control of the govern
ment under the leadership of w. j.
Bryan. The nucleus Of the combina-
ton is large body of honest citizens
who are conscientious in their belief
that all the woes that have fallen on the
people are due to the fact that silver is
not admitted free to the mints who
forget that from 1880 to 1902 the coun-
try prospered as no nation ever pros
pered, in spite Of the fact that silver
was not admitted to the mint, but that
during that period there was thousand
times more Of the metal coined into
dollars than In all our previous history,
and that the process is still being cocss
tinued. A large class who have joined
the movement, and many of whom as
sumo to be leaders, national, state and
local, are disappointed and soured Office
seekers who are in the movement for
revenue. This class would abolish the
civil service examinations and reduce
the public service to the spoils system.
Another large contingent are the class
who, in case Of strike, or labor trouble,
resort to mob law and violence; who
revel in plunder and the destruction Of
property; who belieye, and with reason,
that with Bryan at the head Of the
government and such men as Altgeld at
the head of the state governments. there
would be no interference with their
plans to convert every city in the land
into hell of destruction, violence and
robbery. They have direct promise
of this in the Chicago platform. Add
to these every believer in government
fiat money, avery advocate of wildcat
banks, every socialist, the bi-metallic
league, and the Populist party, and they
compose combination that would dis
solve into its original elements imme-
diately on coming into power and in the
factional fights would reduce the gov
ernment to bankruptcy in two years.
But they will never come into power !;
the plain people whom the leaders Of
the combination are endeavonng to
cajole are not with them"

A Coupe of Young Mnn Discover Two Men
With Corpse in a Covered Wagon,

Special to the Register.
MORGANTOWN, W. va, September 7.
Two OF the most reliable young men of
Morgantown are responsible for story
that will undoubtedly, when mode public.
cause great deal of uneasiness in this
vicinity among people who have friends
buried in Oak Grove cemetery, or to
whom the duty of laying away friends
may hereafter fall. The gentlemen are
reliable and the story they tell Is beyond
doubt true. oak Grove cemetery Is III
South Morgantown. which is on the south
side of Decker's creek, and joined TO Nor
gantown proper by a covered bridge AS
given to the Register correspondent by
one of the young gentlemen, the story IS
as follows:
I'VE were sitting on the railing CT the
approach to the bridge at about ! o'clock
the other night. being on our way home
from n party and taking a final smoke,
when a covered wagon drawn by spir-
tied horse and with two men sitting on
the front seat. came through the bridge
at a rapid gait. and when about % feet
from us the wheel Of the wagon struck
a stone and the jar caused an object TO
sight of which caused us TO be for the
moment paralyzed with horror, for It
was nothing more nor less than the naked
dead body of a human being. Whether
/ of a man or woman we could not tell. for
! the body was only about half way out
when one of the men jerked 1t back into
/ the wagon and the other whipped up the
| horse and started up Front street. As
soon as we recovered from he shock we
started in pursuit of the wagon, but the
men. finding that they were being follow
| ed. whipped their horse up and crossing
the suspension bridge across the Monon-
| gahela river, went at breakneck speed up
the Fairmont pike and disappeared around
the bend"
The gentlemen said that they had in
tended to say nothing about the occur
renee. but after thinking the matter over
they had concluded to make it public, as
! there was no doubt whatever but that
ghouls were operating in this vicinity.
| The wagon used by the men was light
/ covered vehicle and a street lamp at the
end of the bridge afforded a good view of
the faces of the two men I'm il. but both
men were strangers to the young gentle
men.
The following day the young gentlemen
made careful examination of the graves
in Oak Grove cemetery, but could find no
sign of any of them having been dis
turbed. and they are inclined to believe
that the body was secured from country
graveyard. although it is an easy matter
to refill a grave when experts do the
work and the body may have come from
Oak Grove The supposition is that the
body was taken to point down the river
packed and shipped away by boat. 1t Is
not tpossiblethat the young men could have
been mistaken about the object being
human body. as the street lamp Is only a
few feet from the spot and there are nc
more reliable young men in the town.
