High Time for the Carnival
ReVelers to Begin.
State Journal Will Guarantee
5000 to 5000 Young Men

With Us Again.

The young men who made the carni-
val feature of last year a success,

urday, which Will greatly cripple it.
Friday night is the proper night for
the carnival reVel. Queen LORNA 5
Royal Revelers'' should meet without
any further delay and get their date
set properly. Their part of the festival
should be conducted more or less indie
pendently of the rest of the week. Like
the KarnivaI Krewe organizat ton at
Kansas City, ii should be separate and
distinct from the main Festival organ
ization.
It's idea should be comic throughout.
This year it should have amusing floats
burlesqueing many things in civic and
public life. Some able burlesque artist
like VIII Haskell should be asked to
submit a plan for the carnival feature.
The young men who so capa bly, man
aged the carnival last year should act
at once. The State Journal will guar
antee them the assistance of from 5000
to 5000 Topeka young men.

Robert Cook Will Tramp the Ohio
From Pittsburg to Cincinnati

Pittsburg. June 18.-Robert Cook Of
Boston is in Pittsburg arranging to
walk from Pittsburg to Cincinnati on
water, a distance of 400 miles
Cook is the inventor of pair of shoes
by which he can walk on water. He
claims that with the use of them he can
make as good time as a man walking
along an asphalt street. While in Chi
cago a few days ago this was ques-
toned.
Cook offered to wager 81 900 that he
could walk a distance of 400 miles in IA
days, and do it easily. This was quickly
taken by John Leopold, a West side
saloOnkeeper of that city. The money
is now in the hands of a response bic
stakeholder.
The start will be made from the Sixth
street bridge in this city on Septem Der
1 at noon. He will be accompanied by
a small steam launch.

Washington, June 18.-In view of the
fact that false and misleading state

Hawaii the secretary today said to the
Associated Press that as rule he was
opposed to the United States acquiring

condition of the Hawaiian islands as
exceptional on account of the claim of
Japan to these islands. He therefore
approved the treaty making Hawaii a

entitled to admission as a state.

be no question concerning the meal
culable importance of the proposed
policy. OF course all seaport towns
must see their prosperity in its adop-
ton, and not one should be more in
terested than Baltimore. We can re-
member when American built and
American manned ships sailed every
sea; when American bottoms had
preference over all others; when in
British docks Baltimore clippers, then
the fastest vessels afoat, lying along
side British ships, asked and received
higher rates ascommon carriers. The
late war changed all this. Confederate
cruisers, commanded by officers trained
in our own naval schools, swept our
shipping from the seas, and never
since have we entirely recovered from
the blow.
Here is just where the identity of
our interests comes in. West Virginia
is an inland State, and at first views
her stake in revival of our marine
supremacy may seem scarcely worth
considering, but when we call to mind
the immense resources she embraces
within her bounds, all more or less
available for the creation of a maritime
power, we must confess that she will
prove herself short sighted indeed if
she fails to uphold the policy her able
Senator SO wisely recommends and
which, with or without her aid must
become the settled policy OF the gov
eminent. HERMES.

amendment to section q of article 8,

The World, of this city, and the
Hagerstown Globe imagine they have
discovered slip of the pen" on the
part of the editors OF the Harpers
Ferry Sentinel and the Herald, in that
the Herald stated that bone in
mans leg was not broken, "only
fractured" If our critics would con-
suit their Internationals, they would
know that a fractured" bone may
be broken "bufst asunder," or
cracked" In the case referred to
the bone was not broken, only cracked.
Had the reference been to fracture of
the skull, according to the ideas of
our friends, the poor fellows head
would necessarily have been burst
asunder." There is such thing as
being too exact. So, also, there may
be a false Misrepresentation" While
all Misrepresentation are presumed
to be false, they are not necessarily so.
One may inadvertently, without
malice, unintentionally misrepresent
another. The element of falsity does
not enter into the Misrepresentation,
because the intent to injure was abb
sent. 1t is the small, low, mean, vile,
despicable, contemplate cur who goes
about with SANDER, defamation, Wifi
cation, and abuse upon his tongue,
who engages in "false misrepresenta-
ton" Such was the character of the
misrepresentation to which the editor
of the Sentinel referred.

A Good Law,

The late Legislature mace one i'm
portant change in the school law.
Prior to this the law fixed the term of
school in each district at not less than
five months, but the board of educa-
ton could only lay the levy for school
purposes after a vote had been taken
on the power to levy. This feature
of the law is changed. 1t requires no
vote to levy for five months. The
law gives the board power to lay the
levy. 1t only requires vote to give
the board power to levy for a longer
term than five months. The old law
did not comport with that injunction
which says that 1.-THE Legislature
shall provide thorough and efficient
free school system. A system that
could be defeated every two years by
vote of the people could not be
called a thorough and efficient sys-
TEN. oil Review, Sistersville.
The editor of the Herald always
contended that the old law, which
required an affirmative vote each
election, was unconstitutional; and
we are glad to record the fact that the
first Republican Legislature since the
adoption of the constitution provided
for "a thorough and efficient free
school system. And more: We
are happy to have Brother Mccoy
commend the act.

If our civil-service laws required a

he attempted to make laws, some
good might come Of it. But so long

solutely without an ordinary English
education, there is but little sense in
demanding that postal clerks should
know as much as a college professor

FRUIT-dRowERs CONFER.
Interesting Meeting at the Court
House Last Saturday.

AAOAo( $1,000 ~SNAAtW0
AS announced in the Herald, the
fruit-growers Of this county assembled
last Saturday tor the purpose of dis
cussing the best method Of deposing
the minute pest known as the San
Jose scale. Prof. A. d. Hopkins,
Entomologist Of Experiment Station
at Morgantown was present and took
leading part in the discussion.
Several gentlemen presented branch
es cut from fruit trees, some of which
were infested with oystershell bark
louise, others had samples Of the scurfy
bark louise, and there were a few
specimens of the San Jose scale.
Prof. Hopkins stated that kerosene
emulsion and Bordeaux mixture are
specifics for all except the San Jose
scale, which reluctantly yields to a
thorough application OF whale-oil
soap.
A general discussion ensued, par
ticipated in by President r. c. Burk-
hart, Secretary, |. l.. Bender, Hon.
Alex Clohan, c. p. Rothwell, Esq,
Messrs. l. w. Wood, Chas. II. Miller
c. P. Light, Dr. Border, of Jefferson
County, Hon. Geo. f. Evans, Hon. j.
T. Janney and others. Many inter
esting points were disclosed and much
valuable information impaired.
In order to obtain more accurate in
formation as to the diffusion of pests
Throughout the county, on motion of
Mr. Clohan, it was ordered that the
chairman appoint a committee of one
from each magisterial district to in
spect the trees of his district and re-
port to a meeting to be held Saturday,
May 81, in the court house, at 1880 p.
IN. Following is the committee:
I. w. Wood, Hedgesyille; c. H.
Miller, Gerardstown; Charles Lingam-
felter, Falling Waters; Chas. Strayer,
Opequon; o. B. Lafevre, Mill Greek.
Mr.. K. c. Burkhart was elected the
member of the committee from Arden
District, and Messrs. "A. Clohan and
Geo. +. Evans were made a committee
to make the same Investigations in
this city. Mr.. Clohan further moved
that this same committee make every
effort possible, by getting all the in
formation on the condition of trees in
this county and by arousing interest
in the matter to make the meeting of
the Horticultural society to be held in
October success.
The thanks of the association, on
motion of Mr.. l. w. Wood, was tend
cred Prof Hopkins tor his presence
and advice and he was assured that
the interest manifested by him was
appreciated
The association adjourned to meet
on the 3Ist at which time it is hoped
there may be full attendance and
that the interest now aroused may
continue until the valley is cleared of
the pests which now threaten the
fruit-growing industry.

Recurring to those fake editorials,
we notice that so discreet a newspaper

there comes in the injustice and dis

them as notwithstanding credit for
that which is not theirs.
