University Mem Come to the 'FRONT.'.

No better evidence is needed of the
advantages to be derived by West
Virginia young men from an educa-
ton received in theWest Virginia
University than the large number of
former students of that institution
who were delegates to the Republi
can Congressional Convention which
met here last week. II has frequent
ly been pointed out to the young
men of w. Va, that when they at
tend the highest institution of learn
ing in their own State they become
acquainted with the young men who
will in time be at the head of affairs
in the State, and the friendships
formed at school would be useful to
them. The convention for time
looked like called meeting of old
students of the University so many
of them were there present as dele
gates from all the counties repre-
scented in the convention, and they
were leaders too. OF course politi-
cally these former students are in
bad company but the Democratic
conventions of the State show a
greater percentage of former students
of the w. V. U.
The young man who has attended
the University is sure when attend
ing meeting of prominent men of
the State to fall among old friends,
while the young man who has re-
ceived his education outside of the
borders of the State finds himself
among strangers with whom he has
little or no show in race for honors
when pitted against the old W. V.
U. boy whom the majority OF the
delegates have known for years.
Congressman Dayton was not among
strangers for he is an alumnus of
the University and the old students
and friends, although mistaken in
how this government should be run,
were loudest in the cheering for him
The w. Va. University educated
men are the men who will run the af
fairs of the State of West Virginia
no matter what party is in the as
tendency and all those who are not
now in it, would better lose no time
in getting into the University band
wagon for it is going to be right at
the front in the procession which is
marching at the front in state polit-
ical and industrial affairs.
Sick poison is poison which
makes you sick. 1t comes from the
the stomach. The stomach makes
it out of undigested food.
The blood gets it and taints the
whole body with it. That's the way
of it,
The way to be rid of it is to look
after your digestion.
If your food is all properly digest
ed, there will be none left in the
stomach to make sick poison out of.
If your stomach is too weak to see
to this properly by itself, help it
along with few doses of Shaker Di.
gestive Cordial
That's the cure of it.

licious, healthful, tonic cordial, made

Governor Wilson for Congress.

There seems to be no shadow of
a doubt but the Democracy of the
Third Congressional district, are ur-
gently, earnestly and zealously de-
handing the nomination of Gov. E.
w. Wilson for congress.
1t can be truthfully said that the
governor has not sought the nomina-
tion this time and he has, so far,
made no efforts, whatever, to promote
his interests In that behalf.
From sentiments expressed by the
Democrats from all over the district,
not only his friends who have here
tofore always given him their warm
support in his political aspirations
are for his nomination, but large
numbers who have before supported
him in conventions are now assur-
ing him of the warmest support.
The Democracy realizes the fact
that we want man to run for con-
gress and for all other offices, who
can ably and successfully discuss
the issue of the pending campaign,
viz that of free silver.
Governor Wilson has ever been an
avowed advocate of free silver and
no man in the State is better able to
make successful campaign than he
is, and should be be nominated
and elected to congress, neither of
which we have cause to doubt, the
people of this district will have an
able, fearless and honest repre-
sentative to stand up for and main
tain the rights and best interests of
the masses against those of the few
We hope to see the nomination given
Mr.. Wilson on August Is, without
oppositiop.-Charlestoa Gazette.

THE CIGARETTE LAW
Declared Unconstitutional by Judge
Campbell Yesterday.

Yesterday Judge Campbell, of the
circuit court, handed down decis-
ion in the case of the state VS.. Chas.
r. Goethe, and the state vs.. James
B. Mckee. This is the test case of
the famous anti cigarette law, passed
at the last session of the legislature.
The defendants were fined in the
criminal court of this county for
selling without. "a state license and
through the American Tobacco Com
pany carried the case to the circuit
court. In his decision, an interest
ing and elaborate one, Judge Camp
bell declares the judgments of the
criminal court null and void, and de-
clares the law a burden on inter
state commerce. Mr.. S. G. Smith
was the attorney for the defendants.

The Next Congress.

The present senate. consists of SO
members owing to the Delaware va
cancy, the full number being 80
Hence majority is As and of the
full senate, 46. The Republicans
have heretofore had A members. the
Democrats 80 and the Populists G
AS -four Republican Senators have
formally withdrawn from the party.
the roll now comprises 40 Repuh'i
cans, SO Democrats and 10 Populists
and Republican silverites. This will
be the situation when the senate
meets in December The Democrats
and Populists could dicker, as the
Republicans and Populists did at he
late session, and reorganize the sen
ate, depriving the Republicans of the
right they now have of the fountains
of legislation, the committees.
The situation, says the Pittshnrg
Post, in regard to the senate of the
Fifty fifth Congress, which commen
ces with the new administration is
even more discouraging to Republi
can control. OF the hold ever sena-
tors, 30 are Republicans, and will
surely be added to that number
making SO. There are % Democrats
who will hold over, and 6 may surely
be added, making 81. There will be
5 hold-ov Populists and silverites,
to which 3 may be added, making a
total of g. This calculation takes
no account of the Delaware vacancy,
so That the number required for a
majority remains at 45 The Repub-
licans must win 9 of the remaining
IA doubtful seats to give them such
majority, or 10 including the Della
ware vacancy. 1t is a reasonable
certainty that they will not be able
to do this. So, if Mckinley should
be elected, and, as promised by Con-
gresham Dalzell, should call an ex-
ira session soon after the 4lh of
March for tariff tinkering, he will be
confronted by hostile senate.
As to the house of representatives,
in which the Republicans now have
a two thirds majority majority
larger than the Democratic mem her
ship-the Republicans, in any event,
will be cut down in their members,
but the majority of the house will
probably follow the result of the
presidential election. If Mckinley
should be elected there will be "a re.
duced Republican majority, and il he
is defeated the majority will be the
other way, and what that particular
way will be is just now rather diff
cult to predict. One thing is GER
tain, politics and legislation are 90
ing to be mighty interesting in this
country for the next two years. With
the senate anti Republican, no mat
ter how the presidential election
goes, nothing will be determined on
finance The revival Of Mckinley
ism, however, or any radical changes
in the existing tariff, would seem to
be impracticable for the next three
or four years, and very probably
during the whole period of the next
presidential term.

PREPARING FOR THE RESULT

inquired.

is more you can sell it to me, if you
work it half way right. I've held
out as long as could. I've vowed

but I've caught the infection. l
want to go spinning along with the
rest of them"
Everybody comes around to it in
time, said the salesman, with an en-
couraging smile.
Il know it. I've seen strong mind
ed men whose intellects are fitted to
grapple with the problems of our So
cial system get excited in discussing
whether rat-trap pedals are better
than the other kind. And when l
myself weakening so far as to want
to ride one of the things, I'm worried
half to death wondering how far the
attack is going. So, before we go
any further with this transaction, /
want you to promise me something"
I'VE will give you any reasonable
guarantee.
"Let me feel your biceps. That's
a pretty good muscle. l hope I'll
never have to call on you, but as l
said, there's no telling how severely
the malady may strike in on the
best of US. What l want you to agree
to is this: If you ever see me com
ing up the street in light colored
knickerbockers and red sweater
with big collar that folds on the
back like the one on little boys

and without saying word about it

Our friends the enemy are now
gloating over the financial plank in
their st. Louis platform. The truth
of the matter is, that they stole it
from the policy of the Democratic
administration. They condemn and
abuse Cleveland, Carlisle and Will

them the highest compliment they
could by declaring for and adopting
the policy of the administration on
the most important question before

Panic in a Church.

While the Methodist Episcopal
congregation at Masontown, Pa,
were holding children's day exer-
cises Saturday night, the lamps in
the big chandelier exploded. The
people became panic stricken and
rushed for the door. In the STAN
pede women and children were
trampeled under foot and some were
badly injured. At the same time a
severe electric shower was passing
over, and many thought the build
ing had been struck by lightning.
Fortunately few remail ed and sue
ceeded in extinguishing the flames
before much damage was done.

And so the real issue is the tart

And so the real issue is the tariff
is it? Well, hardly. The Republi-
cans are so much afraid of the mon
ey question that anything else will
do. The country is unalterably OPP
posed to opening the tariff question
and will bury the party that tries it.
The tariff question has been settled
and the Republicans have been over
whelmed twice for advocating
high tariff. If that is the issue they
will be buried again the third time
and out of sight forever.

The Decision of the Supreme Court on
the License Law

The Decision of the Supreme Court on
the License Law
Missoula. April 6.-The action of the
supreme court in regard to the license
law was received here this afternoon
by County Treasurer Cave in a tele-
gram from Attorney General Haskell,
and occasioned much rejoicing. State
Bank Examiner Bogart is in town and
was seen by a Standard reporter. to
whom he said: THE decision is a pleas
ant surprise to me, as / had thought
from the decision of the lower courts
that the result would be different. 1t
is a decision of vital Importance to the
state and counties. and has averted the
the legislature. This would have cost
the state $4,000, and the loss to the
state from the failure of license rev.
enue would have been more than that,
so that the decision means $4,000 to the
state. To the counties IL is also of great
importance, as some of them would
have been absolutely destitute had the
licenses not been declared legal. In
making an estimate on the finances for
the year, the county commissioners al
ways take into account the revenue
from licenses, and had this failed, the
situation would have been deplorable.
/ am especially pleased, as the decision
greatly smplifies the work of my office.
Had the law been declared unconstitu-
tional, much money collected would
have had to be returned, and accounts
would have been greatly complicated.
