Mossback Statesmen.

The Charleston Mail throws hot
shot into the ranks OF the legislators
who favor the repeal of the law re-
curing publication of personal delin-
quent lists Referring to the news
paper side of the controversy, the
Mail says:
Newspapers have been put to the
test i'll late years and many have had
to succumb, owing to the financial
panic and inability tocollect outstand-
ing accounts. Those that were able
reduce the number of employees both
in the editorial and mechanical de-
partments and salaries have come
down accordingly. 1t is fact known
to every man connected with the pro-
fession that newspaper men toll hard
er and receive less compensation
than any other class in the country.
1t is no uncommon thing for an entire
Office force to work eighteen hours
day and on every daily in a city the
size of Charleston, the managers spend
on an average of fifteen hours at hard
labor.
Now the legislature convenes, and
the sound of the Speakers gavel has
scarcely died away, when member
arises and presents a measure to take
away a legitimate source of income
from the papers and compel them to
work even harder to exc out an eXis-
tence. The newspapers have, made
these same embryo statesmen by
fighting their battles for them, yet in
order to pose as watch dogs of the
Treasury they forget past favors and
turn their back upon their friends. -
There is another phase of the ques-
ton: Persons who refuse to pay their
taxes are not slow to invoke the pro-
lection of the law in most trivial cas-
es, yet are unwilling to contribute to
the support of the government which
protects them. In order to secure
their votes there are men who say by
their acts as law makers. mo one
shall know of your meanness.

lican newspapers Of this State, every
word of which is gospel truth:
1.-The Republican newspapers Of
West Virginia, nearly seventy in
number, did a great and glorious
work and the effectiveness of it was
apparent. Indeed, to no one agency
can more credit be justly given than
to the Republican newspapers of West
Virginia. They were alive to the is
sues, thoroughly in earnest and did
invaluable service. There is not an
editor Of Republican paper in this
State to whom the party is not in
debted beyond its ability to pay. In
awarding party honors, the work Of
the loyal, selfsacri6cing. hard work
ing, always-at-it editor should be re-
membered. But how often is it not.
The political 'stumper, on salary
and with expenses paid, shines more
conspicuously and is hailed too often
as the real and most deserving party
worker. The 'stumper has his dues
paid oftener than the newspaper man.
1t has always been SO and probably
always will be, but it is not just
The Republican newspapers OF West
Virginia for twenty-five years have
STOOD the brunt and force of battle
without State recognition or State
patronage. They have labored for
love and for glory and many have
gone down in the almost hopeless
contest. TO the county newspaper
editors we lift our hat in grateful ac-
acknowledgement of their faithful and
effective service"

advance Agent Of Prosperity"

Nothing pleases the average Popo-
crat more than to inquire of Republi-
cans when they expect the Advance
Agent of Prosperity to come around,
or to put up dismal tale of woe and
remark, 81 fear the Advance Agent
Of Prosperity has been sidetracked.
The most charitable construction
which can be placed upon such re-
marks is that they indicate lack OF
mental perception. AS matter OF
fact-of truth-they clearly show
downright dishonesty, a deliberate in
tention to still strive to breed discon-
tent, in the hope that business may
continue dcmant.
Six months prior to the election Of
Grover Cleveland prosperity was uni
versal. Immediately following the
election there was general decline
and after his Inauguration the panic
of 'q3. 1t was not that which he and
his party had done, but that which
they proposed to do which produced
the panic. He attributed the trouble
to the excessive use OF silver and came
near, finally. placing us on silver
basis.
Six months prior to the election OF
William Mckinley business was much
depressed. Herculean efforts averted
the descent to fiat money and worse
woes than Cleveland s free-trade policy
had inflicted. A relapse or compiled
ton of diseases is always more danger
Gus than the original disorder.
Much has already been accomplished,
though not statute has been changed.
The Wilson defcit-producer is still in
existence, but instead of shrlnkage
there has been an expansion OF busi-
ness. There are more mills and mines
and factories at work now than there
were three months ago, and more men
are earning wages and are thus en-
abled to furnish their families better
food and clothes. Men now know
that a change for the better is coming
and are preparing for it. There IS
notthat gloomy foreboding which pre-
coded the Inauguration of Grover
Cleveland.
With the completion OF the tariff
BILL if there is an assurance that it
can pass the Senate, business will re-
vive. Let Democrats be as patriotic
as Republicans were; let them declare
their intention to support the tariff
bill which will pass the House and
our friends will soon see not only the
Advance Agent of Prosperity, but
PROSPERITY itself in all his pristine
glory and the country will respond to
the invitation and peace and happi-
ness and contentment will take the
place OF discomfort, wretchedness and
poverty.

Baltimore American.
In Pennsylvania this week fully
20, 900 men will be employed in the
mills, which are starting up to catch
their share of the good times This
is new work. The long idleness is
over, and there is beginning of bet
ter and brighter days.
Manufacturing is what is making
wealth. It gives the dollar to the
wage Garner. 1t supports families
and builds homes. Here IN Maryland
our whole future depends so absolute
ly upon industrial growth that every
fact connected with it becomes of di-
rect and vital Importance. 1t is,
therefore, more than gratifying to
know that the stimulus is reaching
Baltimore, and that almost all of our
manufactures will soon be running.
Every day the prospect improves.
One of the most important happen
ings yesterday was the purchase by
one dealer at the full market price OF
the entire stock of print-cloths in Fall
River Mass. There was some talk
that the mills might close; but this
purchase undoubtedly means that
work will be not only continued but
increased, and Fall Rivers prosperity
is a factor in the condition of the
country.

This led to another remark that there
would be no entries if it was for ugly
women.
"And that reminds me-" said third,
"of little incident that happened when
we were in eastern Kentucky after
Humphrey Marshall. Ormaybe he was
after us. I'm not certain. Anyhow, we
passed through n country where the
women were proverbially ugly. We
had passed hundreds during the day,
and generally they called us Yanks, or
any old name to make us mad. But we
never minded 'em. 1t pleased 'em, and
didn't hurt us.
But some of the boys got ratified
after awhile and concluded to fire vol
ley back when the chance came, as it
soon did. At farmhouse of consider
able pretension, as far as style and size
was concerned, was n girl leaning her
chin upon her hands on an old swinging
gate.
" Go it, Yanls, or oil Humphrey'll

ugliest woman you ever saw. Towzled
hair and dirty red at that, gingham
mother hubbard, snub nosed and bare
footed. Oh, she was a picture. Johnny
Dill, of our company, stepped out of the
ranks and surveyed her.
Say he said, if you'll find me an

father, Afzal Khan, and distinguished
himself by winning several important
battles. He was made governor of
Balkh, and his moderation and kind
ness won for him high degree of
popularity. He married the daughter
of the chief of Badakghen and thus
served to increase the popularity which
he had made for himself by his beneti-
cent rule. In 1868 his cousin, Yakub
Khan, the son of Shere Ali, fought Abb
durrahman and defeated him at Bajgah
aud also at Tinah Kahn. He then fled
from the country and took up his resi-
dence in Russian territory. Gen. Kauf-
mann permitted him to live at Samar-
cand, and the Russian government
allowed him an income of $4,000 rubles
a year. In 1879 he left Turkestan and
marched with some forces to the Cabul
border. One year later he was chosen
by the principal men of Cabul as ameer

The turning of the tables had been ac-
complished so neatly that the crowd
cheered, in spite of themselves; the
young lady, who had perhaps harbored
an idea that she would be arrested, and
made sort of martyr, rushed away in
confusion; and the colonel marched his
regiment back to quarters with flying
colors. He afterward received a merry
note from his acquaintance of day,
apologizing for the trick she had at
tempted to play upon him, thanking
him for the gentlemanly manner in
which he had treated her, and acknowl-
cdging that he had had the best of the
incident.
During late visit to the Nashville ex-
position he enjoyed the pleasure of
meeting her-now handsome Colonial
Dame"-and of laughing with her over

a dignified manner. Its mouth is small,
with small, sharp teeth set near the
lips; it nibbles its food off the rocks.
1t has high forehead, with the eyes set
near the top of the head.
The dorsal fin extends the length of
the body from head to tail; the anal
fin extends for half the fish's length.
In color the surgeon fish may vary,
as many other fishes do, more or less
in accordance with its condition and
surroundings, and its appearance may
also depend much upon the light in
which it is seen. 1t usually appears to
be of some shade of green or blue.
Sometimes it appears to have. green
body with blue trimmings, the trim
mings being the fins. The body may
be of a dark blue, with the dorsal and
anal fins of bright blue, and the
ventral and pectoral fins tipped with
blue. Sometimes the whole fish is of
a deep purplish or violet blue, and so
sometimes it's coloring is very beauti-
full.
The picture here shown was drawn
from a surgeon fish which came from
Bermuda; this fish was little more
than foot in length, which is about
an average size. The surgeon fish is
rather common in West Indian waters,
but not very common in the waters of
Bermuda.
This specimen, which was the only
one obtainable at the time of the first
of the recent collections in Bermuda
ha
wounded and otherwise in poor condi-
tion when it left the island, and it sur
vived here but about three weeks.
Other surgeon fish are expected, how
ever, at the aquarium.

PHENOMENAL CAREER.
Twenty Years Ago Jerome H.
Raymond Was Newsboy.
To-day He Ia President of the West
Virginia University-A Living Ex-
ample of What Push and In
dustry Cnn Do.

From newsboy to university presi-
dent in 20 years-such is the remark
able leap from the streets of Chicago
into fame made by jerome II. Raymond.
Through poverty and strife against con-
ditions that would have dismayed I'll
tan, backed by indomitable pluck and
ceaseless industry, he worked his way
from the chrysalis stage of newsboy's
life and bloomed into an Admirable
Crichton," to whom study was easy and
learning quickly acquired. He was
plucky little Chicago newsboy 20 years
ago. Now, at the age of 30, he has
passed many of his seniors in the educa-
tional race, and has just been made
president of the West Virginia uni
tersity.
Mr.. Raymond, says the Chicago
Times-Herald, is the youngest college
president in the United States. His
career in search of knowledge is almost
able to climb the ladder of learning as
quickly as this Chicago newsboy. Many
men are able to assimilate knowledge,
but few have also developed the ability
to become brilliant teachers in the
learning they have imbibed.
knowledge greeted Raymond with
smile and welcomed him in the halls
of learning. He galloped his way
through college and Immediately be-
came valuable as an educator. He
was called to the head of the West Vir-
ginia institution from the University of
Wisconsin, where he had held the chair
of sociology for the last two years.
Prof. Raymond began life in Chicago.
His father died when he was child
of nine, and he went on the streets to
sell papers. in order to keep the wolf
