OF New York paper. In speaking OF
newly elected United states senator from
West Virginia, described him as a conn-

Der that John G. Calhoun. was open 10

dearth OF big men in West Virginia Is eA-
planned by the fact that the State Is
''monotonously rural" we feel ike
stating a few facts which happen to be
familiar TO US.
Not A great many years ago corre-
ypondent OF New York paper might
have truthfully written as follows: L

the United states. This morning l rode

Of that place: Justice Philip i. Barbour,
four miles from him. Governor James
Barbour, five miles from him: VIM. c.

James Monroe, q few miles from him.
The whole region was and is 'monOton-

unguished men whom we have mentioned
were country lawyers.
The Washington correspondent" Is
smart but he is a little out in his reckon
Ing when he attempts TO enlchtcn the
public on the matter OF raising great
men. In the South We usually raise our
great men where we raise our crops-in

them (as we do our other produce) 10 the
cities where they are consumed.
