A Foolish Lie STONED.

1t is whispered around that the
Democrats in West Virginia who are
in favor of the gold standard are
pushing c. l.. Smith of Fairmont, and
Judge Bennett, of Weston, for the
gubernatorial nomination, with an
understanding if an opportunity
arises, to defeat General Watts, the
friends of these two candidates are to
unite on one of them and secure his
northumberland Stranger.
Such proposition is absurd and
it ought not to appear in any re-
spectacle democratic paper. Justice
should be done to all candidates be-
fore the convention as well as after
wards. Everyone in West Virginia
ought to know, for abundant oppor-
tunity to know has been supplied,
that Clarence Smith has for many
years been an advocate of silver. He
has urged the adoption of a just sill
yer plank and has advocated the
nomination of men in sympathy with
such course for several years; and
so far as the silver question is con-
cerned his standing cannot be ques-
toned. Another thing, those who
know him cannot be made to think
that he would enter into any sort of
disreputable bargain, however agree
able the result of it might be to him
self. He is above and beyond any
thing of that sort. As a candidate
he stands on his merits and as a
friend of silver he ranks with the
best.-Porkersburg Sentinel.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition;
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
diti0n of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

THE TITAN OF CHASMS.
A Mile Deep, ID Miles Wide, 217 Miles
Long, and Painted Like Flower.

The Grand Canon of the Colorado
River, in Arizona, is now for the first
time easily accessible to tourists. A
regular stage line has been establish
ed from Flagstaff, Arizona, on the
Atlantic & Pacific Railroad, making
the trip from Flagstaff to the most
imposing part of the Canon in less
than II hours. The stage fare for the
round trip is only $1,000, and meals
and comfortable lodgings are provid-
ed throughout the trip at a reasona-
Bile price. The view of the Grand
Canon afforded at the terminus Of the
stage route is the most stupendous
panorama known in nature. There
is also trail at this point leading
down the Canon wall, more than 5000
feet vertically, to the river below.
The descent of the trail is a grander
experience than climbing the Alps,
for in the bottom of this terrific and
sublime chasm are hundreds of noun
tains greater than any of the Alpine
range.
A book decribing the trip to the
Grand Canon, illustrated by many
full-page photographs, from especial
engravings and furnishing all needful
information, may be obtained free
upon application to Jno. J. Byrne,

DEMOCRACY CONFIDENT.


just as the last bulletin was re
ceived from Chicago announcing the
completion of the work of the nation.
al Democratic convention, says the
Atlanta Constitution, the heavy
black clouds which had enyeloped
the city for several hours parted and
a magnificent bow of promise dis
played its arch in the sky.
No one who observed this beauti-
full omen could fail to interpret its
significance.
Under the banner of Democracy
and in the wake of such intrepid
leaders as those upon whom the
choice of the national convention
has fallen the party of the people
will march to a complete and over
whelming victory this fall.
Confidence in the assured triumph
of Democracy was never more serene
or certain. Dismay has already set
tied upon the ranks ofthe opposition,
and as the day of election approach
es this feeling will deepen into one
of confusion and truth.
The benediction of heaven abides
upon the proceedings of the Demo
cratic convention, and in the coming
election victory will be the cause of
the people.

now they have an opportunity to
make their votes count in the cleo

pose that they will not take advan-
tage of it is an insult to their
shrewdness.

There Is no more important or respon- sible position in Jefferson county than that of county commissioner. The board of commissioners have the disbursing Of the countys revenue, amounting to about $150.000 year. It Is highly im- portant that the baord should be com posed of competent and reliable men. MT George l.. Young is such man. He was elected commissioner from the Fourth district over fourteen competi- tors, and has served one term. The com missioners are elected by the voters of the entire county, and MT. Young's vote was large, not only in his own district. but in all parts of the count. He has tried to serve the county as whole, and has succeeded admirably. Especial ly in the important matter of road build ing in the county has he displayed his sound judgment and capacity for hard work It is democratic usage to give an official a second term as an lndorse- nent of his course, and MT. Young only asks for this at the hands of his friends.

 Mothers Love.
 The old old love that never fades,
 The one true love that never dies That brightens sorrows darkest shades
 Is mothers love in mothers eyes, The tend'rest, most enduring love,
 The gentlest love in all the lands, The type, the touch of heaven above
 Is mothers love in mothers hands There's surest faith while others grope-
 Life's care no soul of babe alarms There naught to dread, there's all to hope In mothers love in mothers arms. The love that sweetest music makes
 And lightest iulls the sense along To float in dreams on balmy lakes
 Is mothers love in mothers song. Compassion has no healing balm When storms torn s lash mad, he feels the calm The peace that mothers love has won. The weary soul that wanders far
 oft yearns for just one draught of bliss To lift him to the highest star
 The love that clings in mothers kiss Many friends of Mrs. c. H. Reed have received the following invitation: Mrs. Charles H. Reed at home, Monday. Feb ruary 16. half past o'clock. Whist.
