IT is with genuine pleasure
that we note the generous words
of praise and good will bestowed
by the State press upon the
Richie Gazette, as that able
journal enters upon the threshold
Of its twenty-fourth year. In
view of the attitude assumed by
the gazette toward the W. Va.
press, and the genius displayed
IN maintaining the assumption,
that periodical may very aptly
Be- styled 1.-THE State Review of
Reviews.'

SENATOR FORAKER says Ohio
sheep have doubled in value in
the past few months. That NAV
be more difficult FOR Mr.. Bryan
to explain" than was the ad-
vance in wheat, which he says
was due to scarcity abroad. The
fact is, the theory that the low
prices of farm products were due
to the treatment Of silver never
had any foundation, aud the gen.
eral upward march of farm prices
while silver was falling shows it
to be true.
