Ed. Telegram The sPopo-
Gratis are spreading some of the
thinnest literature in our neigh
borhocd that ever any man saw.
We are surprised at some of our
Democratic friends. Only four
years ago what was the great
howl Of the campaign stumpersg
Did they not say the tariff and
the Sherman Silver act was ruin.
Gus to the people of this govern
ment? What was the first acts of
the Democratic party after they
came in power? Did not that great
man Grover Cleveland call an
extra session of Congress to re-.
peal the Sherman silver act :
The next thing to be done was to
repeal the Robber Mckinley
tariff law. Now they do not
name the tarif-are afraid to say
anything about that, neither
would I if l was in their place.
They know that it would never
.doito come before the people
again with the free trade issue,
knowing If they did what the
consequences would be they
must necessarily hunt up some.

The Situation
In Cuba.

Spain is beginning to lose the
patience which she has hereto
fore displayed in her dealings
with the Cuban insurgents.
Eighteen months of expensive
warfare have not reconciled her
by any means to the idea of los
ing Cuba; and, If possible. she is
more determined to subdue the
insurgents now than size has
been at any time before.
But while she is thus bent on
carrying out her purpose, she
appreciates the fact that she is
not able to endure another such
experience as the one through
which she has passed during the
last eighteen months.
Her idea now, therefore, is 10
concentrate her strength in one
final and overpowering effort,
and, If necessary, reduce the en-.
tire island to ruins.
To this end Premier Canovas
has recently dispatched a tele,
gram to Captain General Weyler,

Lua La,c, Esq. Salem, W. Va. !:
DEAR SIR Being from home
Ihsd no knowledge ofyour COM
nunication until several days
liter its arrival at Burnsville I
was both amused and surprised
1t the contents of your letter,
learning from its perusal that
lr. Moore had made you believe
That l had left the Republican
party on account of its financial
views and surprised to know
that you could entertain for a
moment that such was or could
HE the case. AS you are aware
lam a foreigner, being born in
England and as such could not
be biased or prejudiced in form
ing my political opinions by
training and surroundings con-
sequent upon beng native born.
After studying political economy
for some four years, 1 was led to
believe the doctrine of protec.
ion was the only founda alton
upon which this country could
build and be really and reliably
prosperous; hence I allied my
self with the Republican party,
audit is still my firm belief that
had that protection policy coup.
led with reciprocity obtained up
to the present time, this country
would still have been prosperous
and happy, but in an unlucky
hour the people voted for a
change which caused all the
fnancialills withwhich the people
Of this country have been and are
being afflicted to the present Gay.
Four years ago the cry was free
trade, now we are confronted
with the cry of free silver, which
IN my opinion, "should its sup.
porters be victorious, (Which is
not even probable) would cause
the people of this country such
misery, distress and sorrow, that
the dull times of the past four
years would be the height of
prosperity compared with the
four years to follow.
The result of free and unlimit-
ed coinage of silver would reduce
all classes except the wealthy
below the financial level of the
same classes in England and if
persisted in, land them in the
Slough of despond and Mexican
ize them beyond redemption for
anage. To set at rest any fears
you may have had respecting my
deserving the grandest party that
ever existed in any country / will
say that if the Republican party
stood for protection aloneI would
vote that ticket if it was the only
oae cast in Braxton county, but
added to the protective policy,
1t stands for a dollar that means
hundred cents the world over
and is flat footed against a de.
pfeciated and dishonest money.
The Republican party being
ALWAYS RIGHT on questions Of
TARIFF AND FINANCE you may
say to the persons who desired
% Know how l stood that l slmp-
y stand for the right and con-
ssequently could be nothing and
roIE nothing but the REPUB.

Make The Most of Yourself.

! 1t is the duty Of every man to
make the most OF himself.
Whatever his capacities may be
he is sure to find some place
where he can be useful to him
self and to others. But he can
not reach his highest usefulness
without good health and he can
not have good health without
pure blood. The blood circulates
to every organ and tissue and
it is pure, rich and healthy it
carries health to the entire sys-
tenn, but if it is impure it scat
ters disease wherever it flows.

thing new. Finally an idea pre-
sented itselfto some of the party
leaders and to the National Elk.
ecutive Committee. They said:
I'VE will hold our National Con.
vention before the Populist par
ty holds theirs and will slip over
into their camp and steal their
largest gun. which they call
free silver" We will then nomi-
nate a maawho is dipped in the
populistic ideas and endorse
their free silver plank and we
will make it the chief plank in
our platform and say as little as
possible about tariff, and by the
use of a little deception toward
the populist people they will
fuse with us and endorse our
nominees. By this means we
have a faint hope of still remain
ing in power, and if this fails our
grave as a party isdug and the
grave digger with his protection
spade IN hand stands by our
grave ready to heap the clods of
disaster and calamity upon our
coffin lids" Now the question
comes to me, can we trust a party
who butfour years ago howled
all over this country that the
government is purchasing TOO
MUCH SILVER. I hope the Re-
publican voters OF Harrison coun-
ty and in the State of West vir.
ginia and in the United States
will not be deceived by such
holder dash. WILD BILL.

IN A BALLOON.
The Sensations That Are S~uperinduced b5
Its Rising and Falling.

HIS 1flshuB anu raiiiHB'
A dim sunlight strikes us IN the bal
loon. Suddenly we realize we are in
bright sunshine again, with feecy White
clouds below us and a deep blue SLY
above. Look at the shadow CT the bal
loon on the clouds See the light pris-
matte colors like a halo around the
shadow of the car. Here we are all
alone, in perfect silence, i'll h depths
of a great abyss--massive clouds tower
ing up Oh all sides, a snowy white mass
below. But no sign of earth-no sign
of anything human. Not a sound, not IA
sign of life! What peace! What bliss +!
Horrors! What that report? The bal
loon must have burst. Oh. nonsense
Keep still! It's only a fold of the stuff
nipped by the netting being suddenly
released that's all.
Well, we are falling, for see the bits
of paper apparently ascending. And we
must take care, for the GOODNESS and
dampness of this cloud will cause the
gas to contract, and we shall fall rapid
ly. So get a bag of ballast ready, for
we are already in the darknesseo the
cloud. Now the gas bag shrinks and
writhes, and the loose folds rustic to-
gether. and it gets darker. You can feel
the breeze blowing upward against
your face or hand held over the edge of
the car. Well, that's not to be wondered
at, for remember we are falling, say
1000 feet a minute. which is the same
thing as il we were going along ten
miles an hour sitting in 81 dogcart.
Not quite the same, you say-you'd
sooner be in the cart? Well. perhaps if
the horse were going straight at a wall,
without the possihilitSe Off being able to
stop him, yon would think %athsrwise.
But 1ookra There is the earth again /; so

A Canadian AaronaGt Describes the Sen.S-
lions u La First Effort.

Professor Pierre lie Londe, the
famous Canadian reronaut of Mont
real, is perhaps Tho most daring
balloonist of his time, if Sam Bald
win of tins CITY, who Introduced tho
parachute in 1875, is excepted.
II have been IL years in the bust
ness" said Professor LIE Londe,
"having made my initial a%scension
and parachute descent when a boy
of II at Wauseon, o., under the d.
~rection of Professor Brady of Glove
land. The district fair was in full
blast, and ut the appointed hour of
ascension thousands of visitors to
the exhibition congregated. The
regular aeronaut's heart failed him
when the monster balloon was
bounding about inflated for the trip.
Twas summoned and promised $25
and a new suit of clothes if Iswould
make the drop. Thinking only of
the reward on my descent. l con-
scented.
IA moment after I was securely
fastened to the trapeze ring and
loop. / heard the manager call out,
Everybody let go! and in less time
than it takes to tell 1t ! was soaring
far above the crowd. At the first
bound the guy ropes loosened and
L
the people rushed back like cattle.
My first sensation was dizziness, the
earth seemed receding from mo and
the cheering and huzzas of the spec
tators resembled the swarming of
bees. .s-anf tet .3
up ! scared. tho large fields be-
meath mo appearing no larger than
tho palm of tho hand, the CITY like
planks laid side by side, large for
ests appeared like clusters of grape
vines and the river beneath like a
silver tube. The earth did not ap-
pear spherical, but seemed more
like u basin.
Presently Ill was fog and my
clothes wero soon soaking wet, Then
came sunshine, and, remembering
my instructions, l reached for the
cutaway line. I shut my eyes, closed
my mouthS and jerked tho line.
There was no response. / took a
deep breath and tugged again. Still
~roresultF Again (using both hands
this time) / grasped the life cord,
and, oh-that moment l shall never
forget! I was flying with:lightning
speed downward through midair,
my eyes closed and head Keeling.
"Then came q pause in the mad
raoe-a terrible jerk, SO sudden was
tho check of speed. My trusty shoot
had opened. l felt : had a new lease
on life, and looked beneath to pick
myldescent. Swaying to and fro, |
alightea ia a corn patch three miles
from the city, mono the worse for
the journey, and surrounded by
thousands of tho curious people who
had paid SO cents expecting to SEQ
q man killed.
"This was back in the seventies,
when an neronaut often received
$500 a drop, and when parachute air
kings were in tho acme of glory.
There is no longer so sensational a
demand"
