bands will be on hand. Every free sill
yer Democratic club in the county will
be here as well as many from Indiana
IS to will be represented by horses
white to horse yellow. The political
fight is at fever heat every where. The
contest is exciting and it is useless for
any human being to make predictions.
The Australian ballot keeps one in the
dark and it is impossible to determine
what the working class in the East may
do. The last speech is the one that will
catch their vote.
Crashes and going to the wall are still
in order but wheat is on boom-cctton
ditto. Two classes Of people are dissat-
isfed-the siverites, with the cheapness
Of commodities, and propose to counter
act it by reducing the measure OF value.
They attribute all our woes to the de-
monetization OF silver and the contract
ion of the currency. Democrats are
supposed to be sticklers, however, for
cheapness and down on high prices arti-
ficially produced The Protectionist
cries, "Tarif''-no allowance is made by
either for improved machinery and the
various inventions and discoveries which
have cheapened articles of prime peces-
sity. Improved machinery diminishes
the cost OF production OF some goods
faster than the tariff can increase the
prices. Hence we find the silverites and
Republicans little divided in applica.
ton but unit in faith. Both want ar
tificially high prices for the benefit Of
the classes to the detriment of the mass
es-and if could see it differently, like
the Courier JournaD I'd withdraw all
objection to the free silver theory-and
yet you, Mr.. Editor, see it honestly and
conscientiou.ly in an opposite light.
We are all fond OF telling what helps
along in this world. | have Just laid
aside book thathas helped me 80 much
and it has made me realize more fully
than ever before that we were all made
to outlive adversely and that we must
take in our own immortality and the
life OF those we mourn-and then | have
been reminded that after all We live in a
very friendly world and that it is a part
of evorybody's business to make others
happy. Did you ever think how a good
book can make US reflect? This book
has made me think about how to even
things no in this world aud has made
me appreciate more than ever people
that help ''even up" 10 make the world
brighter and happier. There's laughter
all around US but there are 80 many
tears to be dried and so many aching
hearts to be cheered. 1t is so difficult
to "even up" along that line. Our pas
tor told us in his last sermon that 20
many surprises would await us in Heav-
en-. Surely no one will be surprised to
meet those whose sympathies were wide
aud far-reaching here and who had kind
ly hearts aud an unfailiDg readiness to
assist aud alleviate the woes OF less for
tuuate human beings to tight the wrong
Good deeds, unselfsh acts, self sacrifice
make pictures OF glory in this world
more beautiful than the finest and most
classic touches ever put upon canvas.
We have such spirits here and we can
all name them,

made 10 accommodate several thousand
more. Gen. Gordon is commander in chief
of the Confederate Veterans, and every old

From the Charles Town correspondent
of the Baltimore Sun the following is ex-
tracted: Politics is now the absorbing
topic here-Stute politics particularly.
There are many aspirants for congressional
honors, among them, as already mentioned
in the Sun, w. G. Brown, Jr., of Preston
county, son of W. G. Brown, fromerly mem
Der of Congress, and Samuel Woods, Jr.,
of Barbour county, son of Judge Samuel
Woods. A candidate very prominently
spoken of west of the Alleghanies is Judge
Bennett. Many persons seem to think that
in consequence of the fact that Hon. VIM.
L.. Wilson had a long term that the other
end of the'line should be recognized now.
Then again there are others who think this
end of the State should nave the governor
ship. II is stated that since the organiza-
ton of West Virginia it has never had the
governorship. Among those most promi.
nently mentioned in this connection are
Judge e. Boyd Faulkner, William II. Trav-
ers, of Charles Town, and Forrest w. Brown,
of the same place. Judge Lucas, it is stated
on good authority, is out of politics. Berke
ley and Jefferson counties, it is said, propose
this time to pull together"
