Children Cry for
Pitchers Castoria.

We believe many of our people are
not cnuSiderate enough of the great,
many-sided, responsibilities devolving
upon our high public officials. 1t
there had been more careful consider
alton on the part of the people, there
would, probably, have been less adj
verse criticism of Mr.. Cleveland and
his administration. While Mr..
Cleveland doubtless made some mis-
takes aud probably some serious ones,
time will yet prove that his attitude
toward the many great and difficult
questions which agitated his admins
tratiom was more frequently right
Than wrong. He was honest IN his
convictions and had the courage to
do what he believed to lie right.-M.

The Supreme Court of West Vir-
ginia has rendered an interesting de-
cision on a case from Preston county
1t bears on'a point Of business law
with which every business man ought
to be acquainted. In substance the
decision is that an ordinary solicitor
or salesman for business, house has
no authority to collect accounts, and
customers paving such solicitor or
salesman do so at9their own risk, UNI
less they have positive instructions
from the house as, to his authority.
This seems good law. The court goes
farther and adds misrepresentation
by salesman or solicitor that he is a
member Of the firm does not Justify
payment of accounts into his, hands.
The duty of asceriaining the authoui-
ty OF the coIlectiug! -agent.'is clearly
placed upon the debtor. 1t is a pretty
safe assertion that the.full. intent of
this decision has never been realized
by half of the business men Of West
Virginia. Huntington Herull.

Levi Morris, Of Mt. Nebo, was here
last Friday. He is terribly worked
up over the road and bridge question.
People will complain about and threat
surveyors when circumstances are
such that they cannot possibly put
their roads in order. This is not
right nor just. After such floods as
we have recently had it is utterly i'm
possible to repair bridges at anything
Xix a reasonable cost, and the tax
payers of this county have no money
to throw at birds or waste in trying
to do work in such mud holes as are
along this river. AS soon as it is
practical the roads will be repaired,
and ought not to be before.

President Mckinley has issued his
proclamation calling congress in ex.

veil. We do not know just what
policy will he outlined by this con.
gress, which will in any way effect the
business of the country, nor would we
be competent to pass a judgement on
it, if we did, but we do know that the
country needs to have some policy
settled We want rest from uncer-
tainty. Our people are tired Of
wrangllng and they want to get to
business. There IS every condition
ofprospcrity in the country except
that of a settled business policy Our
people are in health, we arc at peace
with all the world and the products
Of the country are abundant.
Now we want only that the parti
san politician will subside for a while
and lctstatesmcu to the front. Let

wasting time in arguing questions

Governor Atkinson lisa much "pur.

and we don't see why he should not he
chosen as the next L. $. Senator
from West Virginia. That is to say,
in the event that a Republican be
chosen. Unless mistaken, we were
the first to suggest the name of Mr.
Atkinson COR Governor of West Vir-
ginia, and don't you think he has not
so much as offered us an office for our
